Now, don't get me wrong. I obviously believe fully in the power of technology to change the world for the better. Obviously.

别误会我的意思。很明显，我完全相信技术的力量可以让世界变得更好。这不言而喻。

And I believe even more fully in the ability of your generation to use that power to great effect — to rule technology.

我更相信你们这一代人有能力运用这一力量来发挥巨大作用——支配技术。

But you cannot let technology rule you.

但你不能让技术支配你。

Remember — and I want you to remember this — the one thing you have to remember from my talk:

记住——我希望你们记住这一点——从我的演讲中你们必须记住的一件事:

I want you to take one hour a day and turn that thing off.

我想让你每天花一个小时把电子设备关掉。

I know it's gonna be hard. I know it's gonna be hard.

我知道这很难。我知道这会很难。

I want you to take one hour — just one hour — you know, you do the math, it's 1/24th. Turn it down. Turn it off. Shut it down. Learn where the OFF button is.

我想让你们花一个小时——仅仅一个小时——你们知道，你们可以算一下，是一天的二十四分之一。关掉电子设备，关掉它。记住关闭按钮在哪里。

Take your eyes off that screen, and look into the eyes of the person that you love. Right?

把你的眼睛从屏幕上移开，看看你所爱的人的眼睛。好吗？

Have a conversation — a real conversation — with the friends who make you think, with the family who make you laugh.

和那些让你思考的朋友，和那些让你开怀大笑的家人，进行一场真正的对话。

Don't push a button saying I "Like" something. Actually tell them. What a concept!

不要按“赞”按钮说我“喜欢”。要亲口告诉他们你喜欢。多么棒的想法！

Engage in the world around you, and feel, taste and smell and hug what's right there, right in front of you — not what's a click away.

融入你周围的世界，感受、品味、嗅闻、拥抱眼前的一切，而不是就点击一下鼠标。

Life is not lived in the glow of a monitor. Life is not a series of status updates.

生活不存在于显示器的光亮中。生活不是一系列的状态更新。

Life is not about your friend count, it's the friends who actually you can count on.

生活不在于你的朋友有多少，而在于你有可以依靠的朋友。

So life is about who you love, how you live, it's about who you travel through the world with. Your family, your collaborators, your friends.

所以生活在于你爱的人，你如何生活，在于和你一起周游世界的人。在于你的家人，你的合作者，你的朋友。

Life is a social experience first, and the best aspects of that experience are not lonely ones — they are spent in the company of others.

生活首先是一种社交体验，其中最好的方面不是那些孤独的日子，而是同其他人在一起度过的时光。
