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

给低头族的诗：震撼短片呼吁人们放下手机
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
Community, companionship, a sense of inclusion
When you step away from this device of delusion
You awaken to see a world of confusion
A world where we’re slaves to the technology we mastered
Where information gets sold by some rich, greedy bastard
A world of self-interest, self-image, self-promotion
Where we all share our best bits but leave out the emotion
We’re at our most happy with an experience we share
But is it the same if no one is there?
Be there for your friends and they’ll be there too
But no one will be if a group message will do

You’re being productive and present not reserved and reclused
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
Just talk to one another, learn to co-exist
I can’t stand to hear the silence of a busy commuter train
When no one wants to talk for the fear of looking insane
We’re becoming unsocial, it no longer satisfies
To engage with one another and look into someone’s eyes.

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

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。
