引言

2023年被某宝算法推荐而购买的一本书,这本书采用了一种新颖而引人入胜的方式来传达智慧——通过漫画。

下面为个人根据原书内容配合工具做的翻译,当然漫画中的部分英文有点”抽象“没法理解实际单词,如果存在错误欢迎在评论区指出。

Introduction: Why Be Interesting(导言: 为什么要有趣)

To limit your regrets. So you can respect yourself. In order to banish boredom. So that you can leave a mark, not a blemish. And most of all, because you can.

为了限制你的遗憾。这样你就能尊重自己。为了消除无聊。这样你就能留下印记,而不是污点。最重要的是,因为你能够做到。

个人评价

个人定位是轻松愉快的英文学习书,可以当做地铁读物。

实体书的质感十分不错,当然代价是全彩外文原版书籍非常贵,实体书也极力不推荐读者购买。

即使很多单词看不太懂,通过图画的形式也能理解大概,这样的英语学习方式挺不错的。

关于本书特点,大概是有些道理比较独特,让人眼前一亮。

Explore ideas, places, and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.

TALK TO STREANGERS(与陌生人交谈)

No one has seen exactly what you have. No one has been to all the places you’ve visited. No one feels just as you do. Find out why.

没有人看到过你所看到的一切。没有人去过你去过的所有地方。没有人感受到和你一样。找出原因。

How far to go? Roll the dice. Seven blocks it is. Take the train? Roll evens and buy the ticket. Two dice can take you practically anywhere and save you lots of time on unimportant decisions. Keep them in your pocket. They’ll help keep things interesting.

要走多远?掷骰子决定。七个街区就是了。要坐火车吗?掷出偶数就买票。两个骰子几乎可以带你去任何地方,还能帮你节省在不重要的决定上花费的时间。把它们放在口袋里,它们会让你的生活更有趣。

UNPLUG(拔出)

Without a map, you can find uncharted places. Be unreachable; you can talk to people on your journey. Miss a few updates from others, and discover yourself instead. Your gadgets are tethering you to a world you know very well. Turn them off to explore new places.

没有地图,你可以发现未知的地方。保持不可触及,你可以与旅途中的人交谈。错过一些来自他人的更新,反而发现自己。你的小工具将你牢牢地绑在你非常熟悉的世界里。把它们忘掉,去探索新的地方。

评价:更加自由、开放和自我驱动的生活方式,鼓励人们通过减少对技术的依赖来丰富自己的生活体验。

举例:现代有些团体组织活动的时候,会让成员暂时放下手机,这样做往往有奇效。
