【雙語文稿】一分鐘英文演講:An escape from reality
有同學(xué)私信說希望看到中英對照文本,方便學(xué)習(xí)總結(jié),所以就給大家整理好啦,這個是不是值個三連呢~~~
An escape from reality
Why do so many people on the planet right now medicate themselves, they medicate themselves with too much technology, they're medicating themselves in front of that white screen, checking the smartphone a hundred and ten times every day. That's not checking your technology, you know what that is, that's an addiction, and an escape from what is.
為什么現(xiàn)在地球上有那么多人自己用藥,他們過度使用技術(shù)這種藥,他們在手機屏幕前給自己用藥,每天要查看110次手機。這并不是在檢查技術(shù),你知道那是什么嗎,那是一種癮,也是對現(xiàn)實的一種逃避。
?
And if you said to most people, did you know you're addicted to your smartphone, did you know you're addicted to your notifications, addicted to your television, did you know you're addicted to your excuses, addicted to gossip, did you know you're drinking too much alcohol because you're addicted to it, did you know that this is all a flight from what is, because deep down inside the deepest unknown part of you knows that you're in pain over potential unlived. They would fight you to the death.?
如果你對大多數(shù)人說:你知道你對智能手機上癮了嗎,你知道你對手機通知、對電視上癮了嗎,你知道你對找借口上癮了嗎,對流言蜚語上癮了嗎,你知道你喝太多酒是因為對酒上癮了嗎,你知道嗎,這一切都是為了逃避現(xiàn)實,因為在你內(nèi)心深處最深的未知部分,你知道自己在為無處施展的潛力而痛苦。它們會與你斗爭到底。
?
Deep down inside I believe most people on the planet are heartbroken. Why? Because they've betrayed the visions, ambitions, values and mission in their heart, they've betrayed their talent by buying into the mass hypnosis that the world has sold them. And they're 35 and they're 45 years old, and they're just no no, this is what everyone does, and they just check check check check check.?
我相信這個星球上大多數(shù)人的內(nèi)心深處,都是破碎的。為什么?因為他們背叛了自己心中的愿景、抱負、價值觀和使命,相信了這個世界賣給他們的大眾催眠藥,并且背叛了自己的才能,不去發(fā)揮出來。他們35歲,45歲,不、不、不,每個人都是如此,他們只是看手機、看手機、看手機、不停地看著手機...
