LOOK UP莫当低头族

英国诗人的诗歌 《LOOK UP》莫当低头族

近日，伦敦一名作家图克（Gary Turk）制作了一部公益短片《LOOK UP》，在Youtube上受到疯狂的追捧，短片讲诉了一个伤感的爱情故事，呼吁人们莫当低头族，而你是不是时时刻刻低着头拿着手机，从未感受周围美好，希望此时你看完会有所感触。

请关掉屏幕，抬起头

A viral video on the evils of social media has ironically taken the internet by storm, with it's sentimental story of a love that never happened thanks to one boy's infatuation with his phone.

一个“控诉” 社交网络危害的视频短片日前红遍网络，短片讲述了一个关于爱情的伤感故事：一个沉迷手机的男孩，错过了一段一生挚爱。

The video titled 'Look Up' features a spoken work poem by London writer-director Gary Turk who advises viewers to 'look up from your phone, shut down the display, take in your surroundings, make the most of today'. 在这个题为《抬起头》的短片中，英国作家兼导演的加里-特克建议看视频的人们：“将目光从手机移开，抬起头，关掉屏幕，看看你的周围，好好珍惜今天。”

'Look Up' was posted to YouTube on April 25, and just 10 days later already has over 14 million views. 该视频在4月25日上传到YouTube上，短短10天之内就获得了超过1400万的点击。 （视频来源：优酷，编辑 Helen）

LOOK UP 离开网络，享受真实的世界

I have 422 friends yet I am lonely 朋友有422个，但孤单的我还是1个，

I speak to all of them everyday yet none of them really know me 没人知道每天跟他们聊天的我，其实不是他们 眼里那个，

The problem I have sits in the space in-between 我的问题不过是选择——

Looking into their eyes or at a name on a screen 面对他们视频对话里的眼睛，还是文字聊天时跳动的姓名， I took a step back and opened my eyes 我抽身后退，睁开双眼

I looked round and realised 我环顾四周，然后发现

This media we call social is anything but 这个被我们称为社交的媒体虽然包罗万象 但是

when we open our computers and it’s our doors we shut 当我们打开视窗，却同时关上了自己的门 All this technology we have it’s just an illusion 我们拥有的所有科技只是一种幻觉

Community, companionship, a sense of inclusion 社群，友谊，包容感

When you step away from this device of delusion 然而，当步出科技给你带来的幻象

You awaken to see a world of confusion 你惊醒后眼前的世界却充满疑惑

A world where we’re slaves to the technology we mastered 这是一个我们被自己掌控的科技所奴役的世界 Where information gets sold by some rich, greedy bastard 一个被富有，贪婪的混蛋从我们身上偷取信息并肆 意贩卖的世界

A world of self-interest, self-image, self-promotion 一个大家都自私自利，自吹自擂的世界

Where we all share our best bits but leave out the emotion 我们在其中分享生活的精华，却失去了真实的感情 We’re at our most happy with an experience we share 我们会因分享某次经历而欣喜

But is it the same if no one is there? 但如果没人陪伴，快乐是否如一？

Be there for your friends and they’ll be there too 和朋友在一起，那他们就将也在那里，

But no one will be if a group message will do 但如果沟通通过短信，没人会陪伴你

We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation 我们通过编辑来夸大我们的际遇，以此得到别人的注意 We pretend not to notice the social isolation 我们假装没有注意到社交孤立

We put our words into order till our lives are glistening 我们雕文饰字，只为让生活闪亮不止

We don’t even know if anyone is listening 沉醉得甚至连有无听者都茫然无知

Being alone isn’t the problem let me just emphasise 孤身一人从来就不是问题。让我强调一下 If you read a book, paint a picture, or do some exercise 我们独自阅读，作画，或是运动

You’re being productive and present not reserved and reclused 你充满效率，独处，却不孤独

You’re being awake and attentive and putting your time to good use 你清醒，专注，从不虚度

So when you’re in public and you start to feel alone 而当你在公共场合，却会觉得孤单

Put your hands behind your head, step away from the phone 把双手放在脑后，把手机也忘到脑后

You don’t need to stare at your menu or at your ontact list 无须盯着手机菜单或者联系人列表

Just talk to one another, learn to co-exist 只要试着交谈，学着相处

I can’t stand to hear the silence of a busy commuter train 拥挤的列车上死一般的寂静实在难听（在中国应该不 会。。。）

When no one wants to talk for the fear of looking insane 无人交流只因害怕显得特立独行

We’re becoming unsocial, it no longer satisfies 我们不再合群，不再满意

To engage with one another and look into someone’s eyes.

We’re surrounded by children who since they were born 我们身边的孩子们，自出生开始

Have watched us living like robots and think it’s the norm 就看着我们如同机器人一般的活着，并认为这理所 当然

It’s not very likely you’ll make world’s greatest Dad 你不大可能成为世界上最好的爸爸

If you can’t entertain a child without using an iPad 如果你只能用IPAD来取悦你的孩子

When I was a child I’d never be home 当我年少，我从不宅家

I’d be out with my friends, on our bikes we’d roam 我和朋友们骑着车游荡四方

I’d wear holes in my trainers and graze up my knees 我们四处奔跑，哪怕膝盖摔伤

Or build our own clubhouse high up in the trees 或者建造自己的树屋，看着它耸立枝头

Now the park is so quiet it gives me a chill 可是现在的公园，静的让人心寒

See no children outside and the swings hanging still 看不见孩子在屋外玩耍，

There’s no skipping, no hopscotch, no church and no steeple 没有跳绳，没有跳山羊，没有教堂，没有尖塔 We’re a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people 我们这代人都是笨蛋，智能的手机，愚蠢的人类 So look up from your phone, shut down the display 所以手机上抬起头，关掉屏幕

Take in your surroundings, make the most of today 看看你的周围，好好利用今天

Just one real connection is all it can take 只是一个真实的接触，仅此而已

To show you the difference that being there can make 只要身处那里，改变就已经发生

Be there in the moment as she gives you the look 在那一刻，她的表情

That you remember forever as when love overtook 你永远不会忘记，当爱情开始接手一切的时候

The time she first held your hand or first kissed your lips 当你们第一次牵手，第一次接吻

The time you first disagreed but still loved her to bits 当你们有了分歧却仍然爱着她的每一点

The time you don’t have to tell hundreds of what you’ve just done 当你不需要告诉上百人你刚刚做了什么 Because you want to share this moment with just this one. 因为你只想分享这一切，给这一个人

The time you sell your computer so you can buy a ring 当你卖掉你的电脑去买一个戒指（这是多贵的电脑。。。） For the girl of your dreams who is now the real thing 你梦中的女孩终成现实

The time you want to start a family and the moment when 当你想建立一个家庭，在那一刻

You first hold your little girl and get to fall in love again 你第一次抱着你的女儿，再次给她全部的爱 The time she keeps you up at nights and all you want is rest 当你需要休息，她却让你无法入眠

And the time you wipe away the tears as your baby flees the nest 当你在她成人离家后，擦干眼泪

The time your baby girl returns with a boy for you to hold 当你的宝贝回来，带着一个小男孩让你抱 And the time he calls you Grandad and makes you feel real old 当他叫你爷爷让你认识到自己真的老了

The time you take in all you’ve made when you’re giving life attention 当你看到了这一切只是因为关注了生活 And how you’re real glad you didn’t waste it by looking down at some invention 你很高兴，因为你没有把时间 浪费在某个发明上

The time you hold your wife’s hand, sit down beside her bed. 当你握着你妻子的手，坐在她的床边

You tell her that you love her, lay a kiss upon her head. 你告诉她你爱她，俯下身子亲吻她的头

She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat 她低声耳语，告诉你，在她心脏跳动的最后一下 That she’s lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street 她有多幸运，能被那个街上迷路的男孩拦下 But none of these times ever happened. You never had any of this 但这样的事永远也不会发生在你身上

When you’re too busy looking down, you don’t see the chances you miss 当你忙着低头看手机的时候，你不会 看到你错过的机会

So look up from your phones, shut down those displays 所以从你的手机上抬起头来，关掉那些屏幕 We have a finite existence, a set number of days 我们时间有限

Don’t waste your life getting caught in the net 不要把它浪费在网络上

because when the end comes, nothing’s worse than regret 当最后一刻来临，没有什么比后悔更糟

I am guilty too of being part of this machine 我感到内疚，因为我也是这机器的一部分

this digital world we are heard but not seen 在这个数码的世界，我们听见看不见

where we type as we talk and read as we chat 打字代替了交谈，阅读代替了闲聊

where we spend hours together without making eye-contact 我们在一起很久，却从来没有眼神交流

So don’t give in to a life where you follow the hype 不要让你的生活跟随炒作

Give people your love, don’t give them your “like” 给你爱的人，而不是给那些“赞”你的人

Disconnect from the need to be heard and defined 戒掉那些渴望被倾听和被理解的习惯

Go out into the world, leave distractions behind 走出门，进入真实的世界，把干扰丢到脑后

Look up from your phone, shut down the display 从你的手机上抬起头来，关掉屏幕

Stop watching this video, live life the real way. 关掉这个视频，为生活而实拼

Look Up a poem by Gary Turk

I have 422 friends yet I am lonely

I speak to all of them everyday yet none of them really know me

The problem I have sits in the space in-between

Looking into their eyes or at a name on a screen

I took a step back and opened my eyes

I looked round and realised

This media we call social is anything but

when we open our computers and it’s our doors we shut

All this technology we have it’s just an illusion

You’re being awake and attentive and putting your time to good use

So when you’re in public and you start to feel alone

Put your hands behind your head, step away from the phone

You don’t need to stare at your menu or at your contact list

When no one wants to talk for the fear of looking insane

We’re becoming unsocial, it no longer satisfies

Now the park is so quiet it gives me a chill

See no children outside and the swings hanging still

There’s no skipping, no hopscotch, no church and no steeple

We’re a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people

So look up from your phone, shut down the display

Take in your surroundings, make the most of today

Just one real connection is all it can take

To show you the difference that being there can make

Be there in the moment as she gives you the look

That you remember forever as when love overtook

The time

she first held your hand or first kissed your lips

The time you first disagreed but still loved her to bits

The time you don’t have to tell hundreds of what you’ve just done

Because you want to share this moment with just this one.

The time you sell your computer so you can buy a ring

For the girl of your dreams who is now the real thing

The time you want to start a family and the moment when

You first hold your little girl and get to fall in love again

The time she keeps you up at nights and all you want is rest

And the time you wipe away the tears as your baby flees the nest

The time your baby girl returns with a boy for you to hold

And the time he calls you Grandad and makes you feel real old

The time you take in all you’ve made when you’re giving life attention

And how you’re real glad you didn’t waste it by looking down at some invention

The time you hold your wife’s hand, sit down beside her bed.

You tell her that you love her, lay a kiss upon her head.

She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat

That she’s lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street

But none of these times ever happened. You never had any of this

When you’re too busy looking down, you don’t see the chances you miss

So look up from your phones, shut down those displays

We have a finite existence, a set number of days

Don’t waste your life getting caught in the net

because when the end comes, nothing’s worse than regret

I am guilty too of being part of this machine

this digital world we are heard but not seen

给低头族的诗：震撼短片呼吁人们放下手机

A viral video on the evils of social media has ironically taken the internet by storm, with it's sentimental story of a love that never happened thanks to one boy's infatuation with his phone.

一个“控诉” 社交网络危害的视频短片日前红遍网络，短片讲述了一个关于爱情的伤感故事：一个沉迷手机的男孩，错过了一段一生挚爱。

The video titled 'Look Up' features a spoken work poem by London writer-director Gary Turk who advises viewers to 'look up from your phone, shut down the display, take in your surroundings, make the most of today'. 在这个题为《抬起头》的短片中，英国作家兼导演的加里-特克建议看视频的人们：“从手机上抬起头，关掉屏幕，看看你的周围，好好利用今天。”

'Look Up' was posted to YouTube on April 25, and just 10 days later already has over 14million views. 该视频在4月25日上传到YouTube上，短短10天之内就获得了超过1400万的点击。

The video starts off with Turk saying he has '422 friends, yet I'm lonely'. It continues to tell the story of a boy who meets a girl when he gets lost and asks for direction.

视频的开头我们听到特克在说：“我有422个朋友，但是我很孤单。” 接着视频讲述了一个迷路的男孩在问路的时候认识了一个女孩的故事。

The two then become a couple, and the video shows them sharing romantic dinners, strolls through the countryside and laughs on the couch.

他们成了一对，视频中可以看到他们俩共度浪漫晚餐，一起在乡村漫步，窝在沙发上嬉闹。

The couple buy a house, get married and have a baby girl, who we see grow up and leave the nest. Their daughter later comes back, having married and had a baby herself and the pround grandfather clutches his grandson.

他们买了房子，结婚了然后生了一个女孩，女儿渐渐长大，然后离开了家。后来女儿也回来了，结婚了也生了自己的孩子，这对祖父母身边有孙辈的陪伴。

As his graying wife dies, she whispers about how 'she's happy she got stopped by that lost boy in the street'. 白发苍苍的老太太告别人世时，在丈夫的耳边轻声说道“自己很开心当时在街上遇到了那个迷路的男孩。”

But here's the catch - it never happened. The film then goes back the moment the boy would have asked for directions, and his 'future wife' is seen passing by as he looks at his phone - likely posing his question to Google Maps instead.

但其实这一切都从未发生。短片回到当时男孩本来要问路的时刻，因为男孩只看着手机，他“未来的妻子” 与他擦身而过。迷路的男孩可能是在用谷歌地图找地点。

Because, as Turk explains, 'when you're too busy looking down, you don't see the chances you miss.'

特克解释说：“因为你永远都在忙着低头看手机，所以你看不到身边错过的机会。

A world of self interest self image self promotion

But is it the same if no one is there ?

Be there for your friends and they'll be there too

So look up from your phone

Shut down those displays

We have a finite existence

A set number of days

Don't waste your life getting caught in the net

As when the end comes

Nothings worse than regret

I'm guilty too of being part of this machine.

This digital world

girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking broke the mother’s heart. “I’m sorry, honey, but we have no money to buy it.”

My son was watching that dialogue. By the way, he had been raking leaves in our garden to himself some money to buy a bike. As he watched the mother and daughter leave the box of Smarties with his money. Then he ran out after the little girl and her mother, and gave them the back and told me what he told them, “Every kid should have a pack of Smarties because they can make you .”

I was so excited I bought a pack of Smarties for my son. I told him that I was proud of him, and that was for his act of generosity because he gave his own Smarties to others. Quickly, he and you never get anything for it.” I explained, “When you do something nice for someone, you shouldn’t get

We always celebrated Dad’s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even after he entered a nursing home. When we knew

it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing

home.

Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. During a quiet moment, I announced it was now Dad’s

turn to listen to stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved about him. The room became quiet.

Then one after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes.

Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn’t wait to tell Dad why they loved

him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was our chance to tell him how

much we love him. A few months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we more fully realized what we had given to Dad

that night. Those are the stories people normally tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the

words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life, and we had told them

through laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his mind

during his last days and months.

Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly the ones we love. That’s the ways to give back love and that’s our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.

What’s the secret of being a great friend? Here are some tips to help you be a nice friend.

Laugh and cry together.

Laughing with a friend is the best, but sometimes it’s crying that brings you closer together. Don’t be afraid to be

yourself with your friends. Share your true feelings—you may learn that your friends feel the same way. As a result, friends will understand each other better.

Be a thoughtful gift giver.

Gift-giving isn’t just for birthdays or holidays—it can be a fun way of making your friends feel special! But don’t

buy expensive presents—be creative! Making things shows you care, because you put time and thought into your gifts. Bake him favorite cookies, write him a poem, or draw something special for him. Small thoughtful gifts, such as picking a flower for a friend who is sick, just might cheer him up.

Stand up for him.

It’s hard to watch someone laugh at a friend. But don’t just stand there, do something about it! You can find a

creative way to solve the problem to make others look at your friend differently. Other times, you need to show your courage and support him—he needs you. It may be not easy, but it’s what a good friend should do!

Are two holidays not enough? Do you dream of three, or even four? (41)这不再是梦想! Last month, the State

Council(国务院) encouraged primary and high schools to give students a spring or autumn break without changing the total number of student vacation days.

Students in China currently only have long holidays in two seasons —summer and winter. These holidays are

usually 10 to 12 weeks in total.“If we had spring and autumn breaks, (42)I would have time to taste all four seasons instead of burying (埋) myself in my studies,”Gao Yiran, a 15-year-old boy told China Daily. Seasonal holidays during autumn and spring may be something new in China, but not in other countries.

In the US, students usually have three holidays. Summer holiday is the longest one, and runs from mid-June until

early September. Summer camp is one of kids’ favorite places to go to, where they can make new friends and try some new activities. Winter holiday starts from mid-December and ends in early January. Most kids and their parents go to spend time together over the Christmas period. Spring break comes in mid- March and (43) is usually a 10-day holiday.

Schools in Japan start in April, as most people think that spring is the perfect time for new things. For school

children ,summer holiday lasts from July 20 to August 31. Most kids are busy with club activities including sports and dancing. Spring break starts at the end of March and continues till early April. It is a good chance for a short family trip around the city. 阅读短文，按要求完成下面的任务: 任务一 将41处的中文翻译成英文。

篇五：给手机低头族的诗--LOOK UP

Look Up a poem by Gary Turk

I have 422 friends on my phone yet I am lonely

I speak to all of them everyday but none of them really know me

Looking into their eyes or at a name on the phone

I looked round and realized

All this technology we have it’s just an illusion

Put your hands behind your head, step away from your phone

You don’t need to stare at your contact list

Just talk to one another, learn to co-exist

When I was a child I’d never be home

I’d be out with my friends, on our bikes we’d roam

Now the park is so quiet it gives me a chill

See no children outside and the swings hanging still

We’re a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people

So look up from your phone, shut down the display

Take in your surroundings, make the most of today

Just one real connection is all it can take

To show you the difference that being there can make

Be there in the moment as she gives you the look

That you remember forever as when love overtook

The time she first held your hand or first kissed your lips

The time you don’t have to tell hundreds of what you’ve just done

ause you want to share this moment with just this one.

The time you sell your computer so you can buy a ring

For the girl of your dreams who is now the real thing

How you’re real glad you didn’t waste it by looking down at your smart phone The time you hold your wife’s hand, sit down beside her bed.

You tell her that you love her, lay a kiss upon her head.

She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat

That she’s lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street

But none of these times ever happened. You never had any of this

When you’re too busy looking down, you don’t see the chances you miss So look up from your phones, shut down those displays

Don’t waste your life getting caught in the net

ause when the end comes, nothing’s worse than regret Look up from your screen, shut down the display Stop watching your phone , live life the real way.
