TED：今年最受欢迎十大TED演讲第一名：再平淡无聊的生活，也可以变得有趣起来 演讲者：James Veitch 演讲题目：The agony of trying to unsubscribe 中英文对照翻译 Its funny the things you forget. I went to see my mother the other day, and she told me this story that Id completely forgotten about how, when we were driving together, she would pull the car over, and by the time she had gotten out of the car, and gone around the car to let me out of the car, I would have already gotten out of the car and pretended to have died. 很多你不记得的东西都是很搞笑的。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，她半路要停车，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。 Because thats how you die. 因为在那时你差不多就是这么“死”的。 And I remember, that was a game I used to play with myself to entertain myself whenever I was bored or frustrated. 我记得，我以前常常和自己玩装死，只要我无聊或者感到沮丧我就玩装死来自娱自乐。 Settle down. 好让自己冷静点。 People say we live in an age of information overload. Right? I dont know about that, but I just know that I get too many marketing emails. I got a marketing email from a supermarket firm, which will remain nameless for predominantly legal reasons, but which Im going to call SafeMart. 人们常说我们生活在信息膨胀的时代对吧？我也不清楚，但是我知道我常收到很多营销邮件。我收到过来自一个超市集团的营销邮件，匿名的邮件，因为一些法律原因，但是我准备叫它“安全超市”。 I got an email from them, and it went like this, it said: 我收到一封他们发的邮件，上面写着： Just three weeks until SafeMart at Kings Cross opens!!! “还有三周，安全超市就要在国王十字路口开张啦！！！” And I resented this, because not only do I not remember signing up to that, but I resent the fact that they appear to think that I should be excited about a shop opening. 我讨厌这种邮件，因为我不仅记不得订阅过这样的消息，而且我对于他们理所应当地认为我应该对于新店开张感到无比兴奋这种事儿非常厌恶。 So what I did was I scrolled down to the bottom of the email, and I pressed, Unsubscribe. And I thought thatd be the end of it. But a week later, I got another one that said, 于是我滑到邮箱的最底部，点击了下“取消订阅”。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 Kings 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 havent clicked hard enough. So I tried it again. Right? Lo and behold,
