  • So what I did was I scrolled down to the bottom of the email, and I pressed, "Unsubscribe."
  • 于是我滑到邮箱的最底部,点击了下“取消订阅”。
  • And I thought that'd be the end of it. But a week later, I got another one that said,
  • 我想这样应该就会清净了。但是一周后,我收到了另一封邮件写到,
  • "Just two weeks until SafeMart at King's Cross opens!!!"
  • “还有两周安全超市即将在 国王十字路口开张啦!!!”
  • And I thought, obviously, I haven't clicked hard enough.
  • 我想,应该是我上次没有退订成功。
  • Right? So I tried it again. Right? Lo and behold, a week passes, you guessed it,
  • 然后我又退订了一次,这样应该好了吧?没想到,过了一周,你猜怎么着,
  • "Just one week until SafeMart at King's Cross opens!!!"
  • “还有一周,安全超市 即将在国王十字路口开张啦!!!”
  • And here's the problem: The internet gave us access to everything; but it also gave everything access to us.
  • 这就有问题了:互联网让我们与世界相连;同时也让所有东西与我们相连。
  • It's hard enough to discriminate between the things that genuinely matter in this world and the minutiae of life,
  • 我们可能就会很难分辨世界上真正重要的东西和生活中的鸡毛蒜皮,
  • without having emails about supermarket chains and Candy Crush Saga.
  • 如果没有关于连锁超市和糖果传奇(一款手机游戏)的邮件。
  • And I was really annoyed with them, and I thought, OK, I was about to write a strongly worded email, which I can do quite well.
  • 我真的被它们搞烦了,我想,看来我必须要写一封语气很重的回复邮件了,我很擅长这种事儿。
  • And I thought, no -- I'm going to find the game. So I replied to it, and I said, "I literally cannot wait!!!!"
  • 然后我仔细想想,不--我要陪它们玩下去。所以我回复了它,我写到,“我真是等不及了啊!!!”
  • "What do you need from me?"
  • “我可以为你们做些什么呢?”
  • They got back to me; a guy called Dan said, "Hi James. I've asked a colleague to help me with your query."
  • 一个叫Dan的人给我回复了,写道:“你好 James。我就你的问题向我的同事咨询了一下。”

很多你不记得的东西是很搞笑的。前几天我去看我老妈,她告诉我了这样一个故事,我已经完全忘了,我们曾经一起开车出去,她要停车,当她从车里出来,围着车绕了一圈,然后准备让我也下车,我那时已经下了车,并且假装已经死了。
