導(dǎo)讀:自從有了網(wǎng)絡(luò),時(shí)間變得更加容易打發(fā),日子也過(guò)得有些混沌。以下是上網(wǎng)時(shí)最容易浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的六大“罪魁禍?zhǔn)祝╟ulprit)”,看看你有沒(méi)有中招。
Living a Fantasy Life
沉浸式游戲
While fantasy football might have little to do with the real world, it certainly takes real time to attend to your team. Not only do you have to watch all the games, but then you have to trade your players. You have to analyze your stats and plan accordingly, spending large amounts of time on the painstakingdetails so that you can win a pot of cash and the admiration of your friends.
盡管虛擬足球游戲與現(xiàn)實(shí)世界或許沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)關(guān)系,但你無(wú)疑需要花時(shí)間去關(guān)注你的球隊(duì)。你不僅得觀看所有的比賽,而且還得買(mǎi)賣(mài)隊(duì)員。你必須分析統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)并據(jù)此制定計(jì)劃。在這些細(xì)節(jié)上,你得花費(fèi)大量心血,才能贏錢(qián),才能讓朋友們崇拜你。
The Spree
看視頻
The great thing about a video web is that it has everything. The awful thing about a video web is that it has everything. I mean, you go looking for George Clooney `s Oscar acceptance speech and somehow you end up clicking on everyone of those “related video” until you`ve worked your way to the collected works of the fake Tom Cruise. With such a video web you never intend to spend that much time, but you end up “one more clip”-ing yourself to death.
視頻網(wǎng)站的優(yōu)點(diǎn)就是無(wú)所不包,而視頻網(wǎng)站的缺點(diǎn)亦是如此。比如說(shuō),你想看喬治?克魯尼發(fā)表奧斯卡獲獎(jiǎng)感言的視頻,結(jié)果不知不覺(jué)中,你就點(diǎn)擊觀看了所有的相關(guān)視頻,一直看到模仿湯姆?克魯斯的視頻集。你從來(lái)就沒(méi)有打算花那么多時(shí)間瀏覽這個(gè)視頻網(wǎng)站,但最終你都會(huì)克制不住地繼續(xù)觀看下一個(gè)視頻,直至精疲力竭。
The SNS Fugue
神游社交網(wǎng)站
Oh, SNS, we couldn`t do anything without you. But I`m not talking about your normal visits during work hours. There is a different, darker SNS that comes out late at night, when you start searching for all of your ex-girlfriends and clicking to see if any of them have changed their last names recently. This is the dark side, and it will attack you and make you feel like a Saturday on the couch with scatteredtissues lying around your nearly lifeless body.
噢,社交網(wǎng)站, 我們不能沒(méi)有你。在工作時(shí)間,正常訪(fǎng)問(wèn)社交網(wǎng)站并不是我要談?wù)摰膬?nèi)容。我想要說(shuō)的是它們的陰暗面。在深夜里,你開(kāi)始在上面搜尋自己的歷任女友,想知道她們當(dāng)中有沒(méi)有人已經(jīng)結(jié)婚時(shí),陰暗面便降臨了。它會(huì)狠狠的打擊你,那感覺(jué)很糟:就如同你在某個(gè)周六萎靡不振地蜷在沙發(fā)上,周?chē)y地堆著餐巾紙一樣。
The Online Shopping Cage
“網(wǎng)購(gòu)陷阱”
Look, there`s a sale on Taobao. But there`s always a sale on Taobao. Oh, what about EBay? There`s always something you need there, too. Don`t forget that shower curtain with the pink bunnies and deer on it that you saw at the store and wanted to buy but didn`t and now it`s discontinued and you just have to have it. As long as you remember the security code on the back of your credit card, you`re going to find your way there. Oh, yes you are. Yes. You. Are.
瞧,淘寶上的東西打折了。其實(shí)該網(wǎng)站上的東西向來(lái)都有低價(jià)促銷(xiāo)。那易趣如何呢?那兒也總是有你所需要的東西。別忘了你在商店看到的那個(gè)有粉色小兔子和小鹿的浴簾,當(dāng)時(shí)想買(mǎi)又沒(méi)買(mǎi),現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)斷貨了,你必須要買(mǎi)到它。只要你記得信用卡后的安全密碼,你就能在購(gòu)物網(wǎng)站上找到你的天地。是的,你絕對(duì)可以。
The Search Engine Hole
搜索引擎之害
Ever go look up something on a search engine, something totally innocuous like Elizabeth Taylor, and it kicks off an awful journey that leaves you bleary-eyed three hours later? It`s so easy.
你有沒(méi)有使用搜索引擎上搜索過(guò)什么信息,一些完全無(wú)害的信息,比如關(guān)于伊麗莎白·泰勒的,結(jié)果這卻讓你踏上了糟糕透頂?shù)乃阉髦茫?個(gè)小時(shí)后,你的眼睛已酸脹不已。這種情況太常見(jiàn)了。
Reading Blogs
閱讀博客
Wow, you really got all the way down here to the end? What the hell are you doing reading this on the weekend. Go see your family or read a book or watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4D or something. There`s a whole world out there!
噢!你一定要看完這篇文章嗎?你這個(gè)周末究竟在干些什么?就是看這篇文章嗎?去看看你的家人或者去讀一本書(shū)吧,要不就去看4D的《加勒比海盜》或者別的什么!在網(wǎng)絡(luò)之外,還有更多精彩!
