每分每秒都在變老

聊文明會不會完蛋：willful ignorance
有人被問「你最擔心什麼」，只答 civil war（內戰），還說照現在這個路子再走二十年，人類會因為 willful ignorance（故意裝不懂）毀掉自己的文明。想認真聊一個沉重話題、點出問題出在「明知卻不看」，這兩句都用得上。
發生了什麼
訪談一開頭，一位六十二歲的人自嘲越聊越老，說等這些事成真自己多半不在了，還承認 this scares me to death（這事把我嚇壞了），又反問：是我 overreacting to a situation（對情況反應過度）嗎？接著有人被問「你最擔心什麼」，先答 civil war（內戰），說照現在這樣再走二十年，可能會因為 willful ignorance（故意裝不懂）毀掉文明。後面有人說科技同時是烏托邦和反烏托邦，還提到點贊按鈕的初衷是「讓世界多一點正能量和愛」。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意老人停頓和自嘲怎樣緩和尖銳問題
- 注意講者連續 probably 列舉災難的節奏
- 看 utopia 與 dystopia 並置後的轉折
留意這幾個短語

這場對話越拖越久
I... I am 62 years old, getting older every minute, the more this conversation goes on...已經不在人世
I'm probably gonna be dead and gone, and I'll probably be thankful for it, when all this shit comes to fruition.成為現實
I'm probably gonna be dead and gone, and I'll probably be thankful for it, when all this shit comes to fruition.and 只留輕輕的 n，dead 和 gone 兩個實詞放重音。
I'm probably gonna be dead and gone, and I'll probably be thankful for it, when all this shit comes to fruition.爛事、破事——熟人之間發洩不滿用；正式場合和陌生人面前別用。
I'm probably gonna be dead and gone, and I'll probably be thankful for it, when all this shit comes to fruition.將要——口語快說形式；寫作和正式發言別用。
I'm probably gonna be dead and gone, and I'll probably be thankful for it, when all this shit comes to fruition.把某人嚇壞了 不是真的嚇死，是誇張說法
Because... Because I think that this scares me to death.看法一樣
Do... Do you... Do you see it the same way?對某事反應過度
老人剛說完自己被嚇壞，馬上用 overreact to something（對某事反應過度）反問：是不是自己把不瞭解的事想得太嚴重。
Or am I overreacting to a situation that I don't know enough about?對某事瞭解得夠多
Or am I overreacting to a situation that I don't know enough about?最短的時間範圍
I think, in the... in the shortest time horizon...當前現狀

If we go down the current status quo for, let's say, another 20 years...故意裝不懂
講者一條條列出文明會怎麼走到崩潰，其中一句把病根說成 willful ignorance（故意裝不懂）：不是無知，是明知卻選擇不看。
we probably destroy our civilization through willful ignorance.應對…的挑戰
We probably fail to meet the challenge of climate change.結果狀語從句：so that 引出前面削弱民主造成的結果：結果跌進某種失能狀態，不是目的。
We probably degrade the world's democracies so that they fall into some sort of bizarre autocratic dysfunction.視為生死攸關
講者列完一長串“可能”後停頓，用 view it as existential（視為生死攸關）收束，語氣比前面更重。
You know, I... I really do view it as existential.定語從句：that 從句修飾 people；what it was like 作 know 的賓語，指過去的樣子。
Is this the last generation of people that are gonna know what it was like before this illusion took place?what it was 三詞輕快帶過，like 稍重，別逐詞咬清。
Is this the last generation of people that are gonna know what it was like before this illusion took place?看穿虛假現實
講者借 matrix 發問：人若不知道自己身處其中，又怎麼 wake up from the matrix（看穿虛假現實）？語氣是反問也是無力。
Like, how do you wake up from the matrix when you don't know you're in the matrix?一片悲觀絕望
講者意識到自己和對方的話聽起來像 one-sided（一面倒的）doom and gloom（一片悲觀絕望），於是先承認這種印象再轉折。
one-sided doom and gloom.快進到當下 借用播放器快進，表示把時間拉到今天
The idea that, fast-forward to today, and teens would be getting depressed when they don't have enough likes, or it could be leading to political polarization was nowhere on our radar.完全沒想到
講者回憶做點贊按鈕時只想傳播正能量，說青少年抑鬱、政治極化這些後果 nowhere on our radar（完全沒想到）。
The idea that, fast-forward to today, and teens would be getting depressed when they don't have enough likes, or it could be leading to political polarization was nowhere on our radar.政治兩極分化
The idea that, fast-forward to today, and teens would be getting depressed when they don't have enough likes, or it could be leading to political polarization was nowhere on our radar.on our 快說時容易連成一串，radar 放重音。
The idea that, fast-forward to today, and teens would be getting depressed when they don't have enough likes, or it could be leading to political polarization was nowhere on our radar.看懂「聊文明會不會完蛋」
發音重點
- dead and gone — and 只留輕輕的 n，dead 和 gone 兩個實詞放重音。
- what it was like — what it was 三詞輕快帶過，like 稍重，別逐詞咬清。
- on our radar — on our 快說時容易連成一串，radar 放重音。
I'm probably gonna be dead and gone, and I'll probably be thankful for it, when all this shit comes to fruition.我大概會死掉、不在了，等這堆破事真成了現實，我多半還會為此慶幸。 用粗話和‘慶幸’把絕望說成黑色幽默，自嘲裡帶警告。
Like, how do you wake up from the matrix when you don't know you're in the matrix?就像，當你不知道自己身處矩陣之中，你又怎麼從中醒來？ 用流行文化比喻把‘不自知’說成死結，反問有穿透力。
we probably destroy our civilization through willful ignorance.我們可能會因為故意裝聾作啞，親手毀掉自己的文明。 把災難歸因於‘選擇不知道’，比單純無知更刺人。
Is this the last generation of people that are gonna know what it was like before this illusion took place?這會是最後一代還記得幻覺出現之前是什麼樣子的人嗎？ 把技術改變日常說成‘幻覺’，一代人的記憶成了分界線。
The idea that, fast-forward to today, and teens would be getting depressed when they don't have enough likes, or it could be leading to political polarization was nowhere on our radar.當時我們完全沒想到，快進到今天，青少年會因為點贊不夠而抑鬱，或者這會導致政治極化。 一句話把好心做產品與後果失控並置，nowhere on our radar 極有反思力。
關於這一章的問題
willful ignorance 是什麼意思？
指「故意裝不懂」：明明能知道，卻選擇不去看。臺詞裡說，人類可能正是這樣親手毀掉文明。
overreact to something 是什麼意思？
意思是「對某事反應過度」。說話的人自己也拿不準，反問對方：是我 overreacting to a situation，還是真該擔心。
「視為生死攸關」英語怎麼說？
view it as existential。existential 在這裡不是「存在主義的」，而是「關乎存亡的」；原話說 I really do view it as existential。
「完全沒想到」英語怎麼說？
nowhere on our radar。radar 是雷達，不在雷達上就是壓根沒被想到；聊點贊按鈕時，說話的人用它說當年沒人料到今天的局面。
doom and gloom 語氣重嗎？
意思是「一片悲觀絕望」，偏口語但語氣不輕。說話的人先說自己講的聽著像一面倒的 doom and gloom，緊接著一句「不對」，再補上科技同時是烏托邦和反烏托邦。
