We check them, on average, 47 times a day — 82 times if you’re between 18 and 24 years old, according to recent data. 我们和手机保持着亲密的关系。我们和它一起睡觉，一起吃饭，把它放在口袋里。根据最近的数据，我们平均每天查看手机47次，18岁至24岁的年轻人每天查看手机的次数更是高达82次。 And we love them for good reason: They tell the weather, the time of day and the steps we’ve taken. They find us dates (and sex), entertain us with music and connect us to friends and family.

A popular song by Lost Kings even asks: “Why don’t you put that [expletive] phone down?” 对手机的爱与对人类的爱之间，冲突非常普遍，甚至有了专门的词来形容它。偏爱手机、冷落伴侣的行为被称为“电话冷遇”（phubbing，“电话”[phone]和“冷落”[snubbing]的结合）。因为任何种类的技术而冷落一个人的行为被称为“技术插足”(technoference)。Lost Kings乐队的一首流行歌曲甚至问道：“你为什么就不能放下那[脏字]手机？” “A key to a healthy relationship is being present,” said James Roberts, author of “Too Much of a Good Thing: Are You Addicted to Your Smartphone?”. When one partner constantly checks his or her phone it sends an implicit message that they find the phone (or what’s on it) more interesting than you. “在一段健康的关系当中，最重要的是陪伴，”詹姆斯·罗伯茨(James Roberts)说。他是《水满则溢：你对智能手机上瘾吗》(Too Much of a Good Thing: Are You Addicted to Yo
