放下手機、停止刷 不是從手機上下來,而是從使用中抽身
I was coming home, and I couldn't get off my phone once I got home, despite having two young kids who needed my love and attention.The Social Dilemma · 2020 — 第 4 / 14 章 · 2'55" · C1
一位前拼趣總裁回憶:回家就離不開手機,躲進食品儲藏室刷個不停。有人說,明知套路仍 susceptible to them(對…缺乏抵抗力);又有一句 Social media is a drug(社交媒體就是毒品)把問題說白了。想聊手機成癮、自控失敗,這兩句直接能用。
一位前拼趣總裁回憶:自己白天參與做產品,回家卻離不開手機,躲進食品儲藏室刷郵件、刷拼趣,孩子正需要陪伴。一句 classic irony(教科書式的諷刺)正好形容這處境——做出來的東西反過來讓自己 fall prey to(成為…的獵物)。同一段裡還有一句 Even knowing how these tricks work, I'm still susceptible to them(明知套路仍對…缺乏抵抗力)。接著有人說意志力是第一招,第二招是 brute force(硬來),隨後出現廚房保險箱的廣告。後面 Social media is a drug(社交媒體就是毒品)把話挑明:人天生就想和別人連線。想聊自控、上癮,這些說法都能直接用。

放下手機、停止刷 不是從手機上下來,而是從使用中抽身
I was coming home, and I couldn't get off my phone once I got home, despite having two young kids who needed my love and attention.讓步狀語:despite 加動名詞表讓步;who 從句補充孩子需要他。

I was coming home, and I couldn't get off my phone once I got home, despite having two young kids who needed my love and attention.不停地打字
I was in the pantry, you know, typing away on an e-mail or sometimes looking at Pinterest.教科書式的諷刺
有人講到自己白天做產品、晚上卻離不開它,隨後用 classic irony 給這種處境下定義,語氣像苦笑。
I thought, "God, this is classic irony.成為…的獵物、被…控制 這裡不是被野獸捕食,而是被自己參與打造的產品套住
I am going to work during the day and building something that then I am falling prey to."定語從句:that 從句修飾 something,介詞 to 留在句尾。
I am going to work during the day and building something that then I am falling prey to."忍不住、控制不住自己

The one that I'm... I'm most prone to is Twitter.戒掉對…的癮
I actually had to write myself software to break my addiction to reading Reddit.I mean 常壓成一團,別把兩個詞都讀滿
I mean, really. I mean, I... I feel it.在幕後;知道內情
有人提到自己知道產品幕後怎麼運作,behind the curtain 把內情說成臺後機關,語氣帶著無奈。
Well, I mean, it's sort-- it's interesting that knowing what was going on behind the curtain,分詞狀語:knowing... 是分詞短語,作讓步:儘管知道,仍……
Well, I mean, it's sort-- it's interesting that knowing what was going on behind the curtain,控制使用量
I still wasn't able to control my usage.對…缺乏抵抗力
明知那些把戲怎麼運作,有人仍承認自己會被牽著走;這裡的 susceptible to 不是抽象風險,而是每天都在發生的真事。
Even knowing how these tricks work, I'm still susceptible to them.拿起手機
I'll still pick up the phone, and 20 minutes will disappear.pick up the 快說時連成一串,the 輕輕帶過
I'll still pick up the phone, and 20 minutes will disappear.純粹的意志力
I tried through willpower, just pure willpower...將要——口語縮寫,正式寫作別用
I think I told myself a thousand times, a thousand different days, "I am not gonna bring my phone to the bedroom," and then 9:00 p.m. rolls around.蠻力;硬來
意志力失敗後,有人把第二招稱為 brute force,意思是不再靠自我說服,改用硬辦法跟手機較勁,語氣自嘲。
Willpower was kind of attempt one, and then attempt two was, you know, brute force.抵抗誘惑
Introducing the Kitchen Safe. The Kitchen Safe is a revolutionary, new, time-locking container that helps you fight temptation.基本生物本能
I mean, we have a basic biological imperative to connect with other people.多巴胺的釋放
That directly affects the release of dopamine in the reward pathway.繁衍物種
Millions of years of evolution, um, are behind that system to get us to come together and live in communities, to find mates, to propagate our species.上癮的潛在風險
which optimizes this connection between people, is going to have the potential for addiction.I'll still pick up the phone, and 20 minutes will disappear.我還是會拿起手機,然後二十分鐘就沒了。 用時間‘消失’寫失控,具體、冷幽默、人人能套。
Social media is a drug.社交媒體就是毒品。 五個詞把複雜機制壓成一句判決,衝擊力強。
Even knowing how these tricks work, I'm still susceptible to them.就算知道這些把戲怎麼運作,我還是會中招。 承認知情不等於免疫,tricks 與 susceptible 對照。
I am going to work during the day and building something that then I am falling prey to."我白天去上班,親手搭建的東西,最後卻讓我深陷其中。 把‘建造者’和‘獵物’放進同一句,自我諷刺不靠形容詞。
I think I told myself a thousand times, a thousand different days, "I am not gonna bring my phone to the bedroom," and then 9:00 p.m. rolls around.我大概告訴自己一千次,一千個不同的日子:‘我絕不把手機帶進臥室’,然後晚上九點一到—— 用‘一千次’對‘九點一到’的瞬間倒戈,意志力失敗有了畫面。
classic 是「典型的」,irony 是「諷刺」,合起來是「教科書式的諷刺」:自己白天參與做產品,回家卻同樣放不下手機。這裡不是反話,而是處境本身很諷刺。
意思是「成為…的獵物、深受其害」。臺詞裡說自己白天做的東西,後來反過來控制了自己,這就是 fall prey to 的用法。
可以用 susceptible to。臺詞裡說,明知道這些套路怎麼運作,還是會被它們影響,正合「對…缺乏抵抗力」這個意思。
用 brute force。有人把靠意志力稱為第一招,把更直接的辦法稱為第二招,原話裡第二招就是 brute force。
字面是「在幕布後面」,常表示「在幕後、知道內情」。臺詞裡說知道幕後發生什麼,卻還是管不住刷手機,強調知情也擋不住上癮。
