今天的句子:
最近两年,科技界兴起了怀旧的风潮。诺基亚宣布将重新推出简洁、耐用、经典的功能机3310,消息一出无数粉丝在社交网络上表达了内心的激动。这款新版3310将保留老版的大多数特征:神级耐摔,超级电池续航力,鲜艳得肆无忌惮的配色,没有任何wifi、4G、应用商店、微信、脸书、Twitter和邮件。除了2.4英寸的屏幕换成彩色之外,唯一变化的是老去的用户——已经不再直来直去、初生无畏的我们。虽然科技的核心是进步,但奇怪的是在这个充斥着云科技和智能化的时代,我们总是念念不忘过去的那些老机器。也许人们内心里深深地希望科技是温暖的、个人的,因为回忆而美丽而浪漫而独特。岁月不居,然情怀难改。

单独判断说实话因果关系不好判断,
但是你要知道:
the sense of nostalgia 其实就是等于:
with the past swiftly turned into a commodity
如果实在判断不出也不用担心,因为我们是在整体文章的背景下解题的
到了整体文章的背景之下。还是容易判断为正确的!
The old tech commodity gains new value owing to the sense of nostalgia
所以不用纠结对错,记住nostalgia 就好!
