你認為你可以多長時間不看手機

今天的這段對話，在討論手機，
 
手機是我們現(xiàn)代人必不可少的物品，你可以多長時間不看手機
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So Paul, speaking of technology, how long do you think you can go without checking your phone?
 
保羅，說到科技，你認為你可以多長時間不看手機？
 
B: Ah, it's quite embarrassing, really, if I'm honest, I check it a lot. I really do, like I'm always having to look at Facebook, my emails. I'm looking at the football news online... yeah, I mean... It's not something that I'm proud about; but it's something that, yeah, it's quite a big part of my life, I think.
 
說起來真的很不好意思，說實話我看手機的次數(shù)很頻繁。我經(jīng)常看手機，我一直在看臉譜網(wǎng)還有郵件。我還會在網(wǎng)上瀏覽足球新聞。我并不是以此為榮，只是我想那已經(jīng)成為了我生活的一部分。
 
A: If you left the house and you had forgotten your phone, would you feel something really missing?
 
如果你出家門以后發(fā)現(xiàn)忘了帶手機，那你會感覺少了些什么嗎？
 
B: I did actually I forgot my...I use my iPad a lot, and I forgot my iPad the other day just as I was leaving, and my bus was about to arrive. And I really had the strong like pull to get back for it. But I caught myself and decided that yeah, I can manage without it, you know, for one day.
 
我的確忘帶過，我比較常用iPad，有一天我出門時忘了帶我的iPad，而公交車馬上就要到了。我非常想回去拿。可是我阻止了自己，我想沒有iPad我也可以度過一天。
 
A: Could you manage?
 
那你做到了嗎？
 
B: Yeah, I did, I didn't even think about it actually. It was just that you know, that sort of momentary pull where I thought I needed it, and then actually having you know, sort of considered it seriously. It was like, I don't need it, so yeah, I did find without it I didn't have to be like hooked up to a life support system or anything. Yeah, it's amazing really, how it comes to be such a central part in your life. How long do you think you could go without using the internet?
 
做到了，我甚至沒有去想它。我以為我很需要它，這其實是一種瞬間的吸引，可是再仔細考慮一下，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，我并不需要它，而且沒有iPad，我就不用連接這個所謂的“生命支持系統(tǒng)”了。它是如何成為生活中心的，這真是太不可思議了。你能多長時間不用網(wǎng)絡(luò)？
 
A: Ahh, I check my phone thousands of times a day... To exaggerate, did I say thousands? I check it too much, I think, far too much. If I left my home, I would feel gutted. I would feel like I'm really, really missing something. It would definitely be a big, big pull, I think. I read a lot of things on the internet and I check things and, and yeah. When it's not there, then I do feel like something is maybe I should be doing something, or missing out on something. And it's not good - I'm embarrassed it's not good at all. So I think I need to work on unplugging.
 
啊，我一天要看幾千次手機。我有些夸張了，我剛是不是說了幾千次？我想我看手機的次數(shù)太多了。如果我把手機落在家里，那我會感覺非常沮喪。我會覺得少了些什么。我想那一定是非常大的吸引。我在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上瀏覽很多內(nèi)容，還要查看很多東西。如果我沒帶手機，那我感覺我應(yīng)該做些什么事情，否則我會感覺少了些什么。這樣并不好，我很尷尬，這樣一點都不好。我認為我應(yīng)該斷網(wǎng)。
 
B: I've heard a lot of people they try to do at least one or two days a week when they don't use the internet at all. But that sounds like it could be quite a good idea. You know, maybe just you know, unplug.
 
我聽說有很多人每周盡量有一天或兩天的時間完全不用網(wǎng)絡(luò)。我認為那聽起來是個非常不錯的主意。遠離電子產(chǎn)品。
 
A: Yeah. Do you think you could?
 
對。你認為你能做到嗎？
 
B: I think I could, yeah, I think I could. In fact, I really like hiking and being outdoors, and, I think one of the things I really love about it is that I'm... nobody can contact me, you know? And I'm kinda away from everything. And I really enjoy those moments.
 
我想我能，我可以做到。實際上，我很喜歡徒步，我喜歡戶外活動，這些活動讓我著迷的其中一個原因是，我進行戶外運動時沒人能聯(lián)系到我。那讓我遠離一切。我非常享受那些時刻。
 
A: Uhm, yeah. I don't know if I could. I always have to cut down before going cold turkey, I think, I've got to cut down. I'm trying to cut down. You know, I mentioned before, I'm trying to get back into reading uhm, just get back into real books instead of screen time. So, yeah, I couldn't go cold turkey, I think, a couple of days a week. I would need to cut down.
 
嗯。我不知道我能不能做到。在完全停止使用電子產(chǎn)品之前，我會減少使用時間。我會逐漸減少使用時間。我之前提到過，我在努力找回我的閱讀習慣，我要看紙質(zhì)書，而不是電子書。一周有幾天的時間完全不使用電子設(shè)備，我想我做不到。我需要逐漸減少使用時間。
 
B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we should probably yeah, make a concerted effort I think it is probably good for us to try to reduce our, you know, user time.
 
對，沒錯，我想也許我們應(yīng)該一起努力，我認為這會幫助我們減少使用電子產(chǎn)品的時間。
 
A: Yeah.
 
好的。
