越来越多的中国人现在的确离不开手机了。他们中的许多人,包括老年人都利用手机运用程序保持联系并拓宽朋友圈。他们也用手机购物,查找信息,由于手机便于携带。此外,利用手机运用程序通信比传统电话便宜。然而,这种新趋势导致人们在社交时过度依赖手机。事实上,一些年轻人已经变得十分上瘾,以至于忽略了与家人和朋友面对面的互换。
【越来越多的中国人现在的确离不开手机了】

解析:
“手机”的常见译法有mobile phone和 cell phone,有的也用handset,不过含意不仅指手机,还可表示电话听筒、(电视等的) 遥控器等。
“离不开”有的翻译成can't separate from,实际更隧道的翻译办法是can't live without……
扩展:do without…… 没有…也行, 姑息, 用不着
例:We can't do without the help of your organisation.
我们不能没有你们机构的帮助。
译文:Today, more and more Chinese cannot live without mobile phones,indeed.
【他们中的许多人,包括老年人都利用手机运用程序保持联系并拓宽朋友圈】
解析:
“包括……”可译为:including sth/sb. 或sth/sb. included.作为补充状语,用逗号与主句隔开。

【此外,利用手机运用程序通信比传统电话便宜】

“此外”作为常见的连接词,有多种译法:in addition, moreover, furthermore, besides等,还可以利用what's more和what's worse,不过要把稳时态,在过去时中用what was more 或what was worse。其余用what's worse时意为“更糟的是……”
译文:In addition, the communication by mobile applications is cheaper than that by traditional phones.
【然而,这种新趋势导致人们在社交时过度依赖手机】

解析:
“事实上”可译为actually, in fact, in reality, as a matter of fact等。
“甚至于”可用so……that……(结果状语从句)
而so that每每后接目的状语从句,句中常有can,may等词。
