拼趣总裁也放不下手机：fall prey to
一位前拼趣总裁回忆：回家就离不开手机，躲进食品储藏室刷个不停。有人说，明知套路仍 susceptible to them（对…缺乏抵抗力）；又有一句 Social media is a drug（社交媒体就是毒品）把问题说白了。想聊手机成瘾、自控失败，这两句直接能用。
发生了什么
一位前拼趣总裁回忆：自己白天参与做产品，回家却离不开手机，躲进食品储藏室刷邮件、刷拼趣，孩子正需要陪伴。一句 classic irony（教科书式的讽刺）正好形容这处境——做出来的东西反过来让自己 fall prey to（成为…的猎物）。同一段里还有一句 Even knowing how these tricks work, I'm still susceptible to them（明知套路仍对…缺乏抵抗力）。接着有人说意志力是第一招，第二招是 brute force（硬来），随后出现厨房保险箱的广告。后面 Social media is a drug（社交媒体就是毒品）把话挑明：人天生就想和别人连接。想聊自控、上瘾，这些说法都能直接用。

关于这一章的问题
classic irony 是什么意思？
classic 是「典型的」，irony 是「讽刺」，合起来是「教科书式的讽刺」：自己白天参与做产品，回家却同样放不下手机。这里不是反话，而是处境本身很讽刺。
fall prey to 是什么意思？
意思是「成为…的猎物、深受其害」。台词里说自己白天做的东西，后来反过来控制了自己，这就是 fall prey to 的用法。
想表达「对…缺乏抵抗力」英语怎么说？
可以用 susceptible to。台词里说，明知道这些套路怎么运作，还是会被它们影响，正合「对…缺乏抵抗力」这个意思。
「硬来、蛮力」英语怎么说？
用 brute force。有人把靠意志力称为第一招，把更直接的办法称为第二招，原话里第二招就是 brute force。
behind the curtain 是什么用法？
字面是「在幕布后面」，常表示「在幕后、知道内情」。台词里说知道幕后发生什么，却还是管不住刷手机，强调知情也挡不住上瘾。
