 中英文对照翻译

I've noticed something interesting about society and culture. Everything risky requires a license. So, learning to drive, owning a gun, getting married. There's a certain --

关于社会和文化，我注意到一些有趣的事情。每件冒险的事情都需要一个许可证书，像学车，买枪，结婚。

The space bar scrolls down one page. Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again. So, space bar to scroll down one page; works in every browser, in every kind of computer.

空格键向下滚动一个页面。按住 Shift键（+空格键）向上滚动回来。所以空格键，向下滚动一个页面。在所有电脑的浏览器上，它都有效。

Also on the web, when you're filling in one of these forms like your addresses, I assume you know that you can hit the Tab key to jump from box to box to box. But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state? 

同样，在网页上，当你在填写一个这样的表格，如你的地址，我猜想，你知道按Tab键从一个框跳到另一个框。但是，面对下拉菜单--比如选择你的州，要怎么做? 

Don't open the pop-up menu. That's a terrible waste of calories. Type the first letter of your state over and over and over. So if you want Connecticut, go, C, C, C. If you want Texas, go T, T, and you jump right to that thing without even opening the pop-up menu.

不要点开下拉菜单。那是可怕的卡路里消耗。（在键盘上）按下你所在州的第一字母，再按，再按。比如你想选择康涅狄格州（Connecticut），按下，C，C，C。如果是德克萨斯州（Texas），按下，T，T，然后你成功了。不用点开下拉菜单。

Also on the web, when the text is too small, what you do is hold down the Control key and hit plus, plus, plus.You make the text larger with each tap. Works on every computer, every web browser, or minus, minus, to get smal

Something that drives me crazy: When I call you and leave a message on your voice mail, I hear you saying, "Leave a message," and then I get these 15 seconds of freaking instructions, like we haven't had answering machines for 45 years!

接下来的事，让我疯狂。每当我呼叫你，接着在你的语音邮箱留下信息，我听到你说，”留下信息“，然后我会听到15秒吓人的提示，好像我们已经45年没用电话应答机啦！

I'm not bitter.So it turns out there's a keyboard shortcut that lets you jump directly to the beep like this.

我不是愤怒。这里有一个键盘快捷键让你直接得跳到”哔声“,像这样。

Phone: At the tone, please...(Beep)

（电话应答机：听到声音，请—”哔声“）

David Pogue: Unfortunately, the carriers didn't adopt the same keystroke, so it's different by carrier, so it devolves upon you to learn the keystroke for the person you're calling. I didn't say these were going to be perfect.

David Pogue：不幸地是，运营商没有采用一样的快捷键。所以，运营商不一样，（快捷键）也不一样。你需要去了解所拨打号码的运营商特定的快捷键。我没说这个技巧是完美的。 

Also, don't delete what you've highlighted. You can just type over it. This is in every program. Also, you can go double-click, drag, to highlight in one-word increments as you drag. Much more precise. Again, don't bother deleting. Just type over it.

还有，不要删除你所高亮显示的。你可以直接输入。任何程序里都可行（如浏览器）。还有，你能双击，拖曳高亮显示更加的精确。再一次，不要劳神去删除。直接输入即可。

Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button and the moment the camera actually snaps. It's extremely frustrating on any camera under $1,000.

快门延迟是你按下快门键和相机实际抓拍瞬间相隔的时间差。在任何低于1000美元的相机上，都有这个令人烦恼的问题。

So, that's because the camera needs time to calculate the focus and exposure, but if you pre-focus with a half-press, leave your finger down -- no shutter lag! You get it every time. I've just turned your $50 camera into a $1,000 camera with that trick.

所以那是因为相机需要时间来计算焦点和光圈。但是如果你先按下一半（快门）来预聚焦（在小朋友身上），然后按下你的手指，没有快门延迟！每一次，你都能成功。用那个技巧，我把你50美元的相机变成1000美元的相机。

And finally, it often happens that you're giving a talk, and for some reason, the audience is looking at the slide instead of at you!

最后，你在发表演说，但常常出于一些原因，观众在看幻灯片，而不是你！
