There's a resident in the condo I work at who gets Amazon and other packages by the dozens daily. I once had to go into her apartment for emergency reasons. The place was walls stacked with unopened packages.
我工作的那个公寓有一家住户，她每天都会收到几十个亚马逊和其他地方的包裹。我有一次由于突发情况得进入她的房间。里面堆满了没打开的包裹。

The lotto. It’s really fun to imagine what you would do if you won. If you’re not blowing tons of money on it. That could be worth it right there. But it’s so expensive, and your chances are like .00001 of winning something you can retire with.
彩票。想象你中奖之后可以拿着奖金做点什么真的很有意思。只要你没往彩票上花大量的钱的话，那或许确实非常值得。但是太贵了，而且你中那种能让你直接退休的奖的概率差不多是0.00001%。

But It didn't. Netflix was too reliant on being the "default" streaming service from being the first one out of the gate. It let them get away with shoddy greenlit projects, flooding their pages looking like steam greenlight for movies, and then jacking up the price every two or three quarters to pay for the poor movie performance.
但是他们没有增长。奈飞因为自己是第一个冲出来的，所以太依赖于成为“默认”的那个视频串流服务了，这让他们可以随便用那些一路开绿灯却制作糟糕的影片填满主页，就像电影版的Steam绿灯计划一样，然后每两或三个季度就提升一次价格，为电影糟糕的票房买单。

This is an issue where I work. The targets keep increasing (even during periods where it's expected that we would get less money, e.g. during covid lockdowns). At the same time, there's a huge focus on cutting costs and moving as many positions as possible off-shore.
我所任职的地方就面临着这个问题。目标一直在上升（甚至在预期收入降低的时间段也是如此，比如在新冠疫情封城期间）。与此同时，我们还在非常努力地削减成本，尽可能地把岗位都移动到离岸业务。

For the last couple of years, we keep getting praise for reaching impossible targets because people are working harder than ever, and in the next sentence the goal posts move and we're told "but it's not enough for the share holders, also, we'll be doing a couple of organizational changes for next year" (read: one person from every team have to be fired, because we said so.)
过去几年来，我们一直在因为达到了不可能达到的目标而受到夸奖，因为我们一年比一年拼命工作，但是领导的下一句话就是把目标接着往前推，然后告诉我们“但这个目标对于股东来说仍然不够，此外，我们明年也要进行一些组织调整”（意思是：每个团队都必须要开除一个人，我们说的。）

在网上，你只会看见营收和股东利息再创新高。
I work in a fairly saturated and competitive market as well, so there's not really that much wiggle room when it comes to getting new customers. The only way to reach the targets is by providing a better service than the competitor at a lower price, and poach some customers from them. And every year we're supposed to do it by spending less money, and with experienced senior employees/consultants being replaced with the cheapest indian guy we can find.
我工作的市场已经非常饱和、竞争性很强了，所以没有那么大的空间来吸纳更多的消费者。达到目标的唯一方法，就是用比竞争对手更低的价格，提供比他们更好的服务，甚至从他们那里偷来一些顾客。而且每年我们都要在预算更少、有经验的高级员工/咨询师都被替换成了最便宜的印度人的情况下完成这些工作。

It seems on paper, we're just a cost that share holders would love to just erase. They don't seem to realize that the employees are necessary to actually do the work and generate revenue.
好像在纸面上，我们这些员工也只不过是股东恨不得马上抹掉的成本。他们好像不明白，员工才是干活、创造收入所必要的。

Irrational, I know, especially because I don't have a ton of friends on Facebook. That was my impetus to reduce my time to 15 minutes and no personal posts seeking likes.
我开始为得到的赞数而感到难过的时候，就是我意识到自己得放弃Facebook的时候，别人吃一顿午餐的照片拿到的赞都比我人生大事的公告还多，我会觉得很痛苦。我知道这并不理性，尤其是因为我在Facebook上没有那么多的朋友。这是推动我每天只用15分钟的facebook，并且不发那种求赞的个人化内容的动力。

I knew there was waste and people were just buying stuff for the dopamine hit and a lot of it is unnecessary, but I didn't get the real problem with it.
我以前也知道有人浪费，有人买东西只是为了多巴胺的快感，很多东西都根本没必要，但是我没有意识到真正的问题所在。

我以前也知道有人浪费，有人买东西只是为了多巴胺的快感，很多东西都根本没必要，但是我没有意识到真正的问题所在。
Suddenly it dawned on me what mass production really means. We have suppliers who just make a ton of shit, not really knowing if any of it is going to be sold or if it's going to the landfill. They get to sell off whatever quantity to retailers, who are gambling on being able to get people to buy it. But what happens when no one wants to buy it? How many products are made in the hopes that someone will be interested enough to exchange their money for that dopamine hit and a piece of plastic? What happens to all the leftovers that don't get sold? Straight to the landfill!
有一天我突然意识到批量生产是什么意思。供应商制造出成吨的垃圾，根本不知道它到底是能卖出去还是会到垃圾场里。无论做成什么质量，这些垃圾都能卖给零售商，零售商只能赌一把人们会不会买。但是人们要是不买呢？有多少产品是因为希望有人乐意为那一瞬间的多巴胺分泌和一块塑料而乐意交出自己手里的钱，而制造出来的？剩下那些造出来却没卖出去的东西呢？就直接进填埋场了！

Then there's how low quality everything is. I remember this example from my childhood because my dad tried to explain it to me like this: say you have a pair of scissors, and the blades are getting dull. What do you do to rectify this situation? Well your scissors are still 99% completely functional, the blades just need to be sharpened. But who sharpens scissors? You can just head down to Walmart and get a new pair for $2, so why bother putting the effort into maintaining the perfectly good product you already own? So those 99% good scissors go straight to the landfill.
于是一切商品的质量都变得特别糟糕。我从小就记得这个例子，我爸爸当时是这么对我解释的：比如说你有一把剪刀，剪刀用着用着刀刃钝了。你该怎么应对这个情况呢？说实话你的剪刀还是99%能用的，只不过刀刃需要磨快一点而已。但谁会磨一个剪刀呢？你完全可以直接去沃尔玛，花2美元的钱买一把新的剪刀，所以为什么还要花时间和经历维护那个你已经拥有的、完全没任何问题的产品呢？所以那些99%能用的剪刀就直接被扔到垃圾场了。

It's a gross system we've built where everything has to be new, but we make so much more stuff than could even be purchased by our population to hedge our bets on who's going to buy what. If you go out shopping now you'll still see Christmas decorations on clearance because not enough people bought those decorations this year so they're marked down to move them otherwise they'll just be sent to the landfill.
我们所建造的就是这样一个恶心的系统，里面的一切都必须得是新的，但我们制造的东西太多了，比我们的人口所能购买的还要多，只能赌一把谁会买什么东西。如果你现在出去买东西，你仍然会看见圣诞装饰用品在清仓甩卖，因为今年买这些装饰用品的人不够多，所以他们把价格砍下来往外卖，要不然就要直接被扔进垃圾堆了。

I really want to live with less, but our systems are built in such a way that it's hard to break away from it. I try to buy one good product that will last instead of cheap ones that need to be replaced but even this doesn't seem to help because it just means that's one less person bringing this crap into their home so it sits on the store shelf until it's time to be dumped. It's a systemic problem but so many people are addicted to fast shopping that it is not in the best interest of anyone to try to curb this habit.
我真的想要生活在一个物质更少的地方，但是我们的体制就是这样的，你很难和它一刀两断。我试过买一个能用的很久的好产品来替代那种便宜所以需要经常更换的烂产品，，但即便如此似乎也没有任何帮助，因为这只是意味着少了一个把那个烂产品带回家的人，它仍然会呆在货架上，直到被扔到垃圾堆。这是个体制性的问题，但是有太多人都染上了快速购物的瘾，以至于对于任何人来说，放弃自己的这种习惯都不好。

尤其是用手机。手机上安装社交媒体，或许比拥有社交媒体账户这件事本身还糟糕，因为如果那东西安装在了你的手机上的话，就没什么东西可以阻止你随手看一眼了，这会让你的瘾越来越大。

A similar thing feeds into relationships overall, I think. I could contact my friend literally any time, so if I'm not doing that, am I technically neglecting the friendship? Are they neglecting it, because they don't do that either?
我想，类似的东西也会慢慢侵入你的人际关系。我基本上可以随时随地与我的朋友联系，所以如果我不这么做的话，我是否就是在忽视这段友谊？既然他们也没有这么做，那么是否他们也在忽视这种友谊？

It's a similar feeling to constantly being in the same room with someone, except it's everybody you know.
就好像一直和某人呆在同一个房间里一样，只不过这个人是你认识的所有人。

Completely unnoticed. So much sugar in things people just don't expect or check. Thinking of sugar as a drug has helped me enjoy it more responsibly.
完全没人意识到这一点。在人们意识不到或者不会留意的地方，糖太多了。在我把糖当成一种毒品之后，我才开始更负责任地享受它。

Isn't it a fact that most low fat products, they have a lot more sugar added to it to compensate the flavor.
事实就是，绝大多数的低脂肪产品，里面都会放更多更多的糖来让味道变得好一些。

Yupp sugar is a problem. Idk if society pretends that it’s a necessity though - more like food companies have made it a normal part of their products, and it’s gone unnoticed by our society until recently.
没错，糖是很严重的问题。但我不知道这算不算是社会在假装糖是必要的东西——感觉更像是食物公司把糖变成了他们产品的正常部分，并且直到今天才被我们社会意识到。

According to Google, the recommended daily intake of sugar is no more than 25g for women and 36g for men. If you’ve ever looked at the Nutrition Facts for most processed foods, that number often exceeds both amounts. And they don’t list the %DV for sugar. So it’s hard to identify how much sugar you’re consuming, if you don’t pay attention.
根据谷歌的数据，食糖的日常建议摄入量是女性25g，男性36g。如果你看过绝大多数精加工食物的膳食营养表的话，里面的数字经常会超过这些数字。而且他们也不会列出糖的每天摄入百分比。所以你如果不注意的话，很难意识到自己每天吃了多少糖。

If phones had replaceable batteries like they used to, a lot more people would keep them longer. It’s insane that the lifespan of your phone is limited to the lifespan of your battery.
如果手机像以前一样可以换电池的话，那么会有更多的人把自己的手机用得更久一点。你手机的生命周期被你手机电池的生命周期所限制，根本没道理。

When I swapped over to a Galaxy S8 from an iPhone 6 almost 4 years ago, i gave my iPhone 6 to my partners mother as she had an iphone 4s at the time. The iPhone 6 was going a little slow, but she paid about $70NZD for a battery replacement, and suddenly the phone was almost as good as new! Sped right up and everything.
我将近四年前从iPhone 6换成盖乐世S8的时候，把我的iPhone 6送给了岳母，因为她当时用的是iPhone 4s。那部iPhone 56有点慢，她花了70纽币换了个电池，然后那部手机就突然变得和新的一样了！速度一下子就快了。

`I bought a flagship phone about 5 years ago. Once you upgrade from a tracphone to a galaxy or an iphone, the benefits of moving up beyond that are only marginal
我大概5年前买了一部旗舰手机。当你从垃圾手机升级成盖乐世或者iPhone之后，再往上升级的好处就非常小了。

I can't be convinced that the newer model is all that much better because my phone already does everything I want and then some
我根本不信那些更新款的手机有那么好，因为我现在的手机已经能提供我需要的一切要求了，还能富余一点性能。

Some people are addicted to comparing their lives to others when they should really strive to be the best they can be. Trying to outperform others leads to endless frustration, but trying to outperform yourself leads to true improvement.
某些人忍不住拿自己的生活和别人的相比，但他们真正应该做的是竭尽全力做最好的自己。想要比别人更厉害，会导致无穷无尽的困惑；但是试着比自己更厉害，才会带来真正的改善。

Yep, especially with work, people put so much focus on having a 'good job'. I work in a relatively low-paying job but am happy. A career was never an interest to me, I cannot commit my mind to work I don't care about. One of my friends had a well-paying job... he went around companies trying to sell plastic wrap. I couldn't fathom doing that. He hated it, he had more money, but the work was miserable. My job is physical, I don't have to interact with people and I listen to music all day, it is perfect for me. So why should I want his 'good job'? Society tells me I should strive for that because 'money' and almost shames you for not 'wanting more'.
没错，尤其是在工作方面，人们为了找一个“好工作”花了太多的经历。我的工作工资相对少一些，但我很开心。我从来都不对职业生涯感兴趣，我不能把自己的心思放在一个我根本不在乎的工作上面。我有个朋友的工作薪酬非常好……但他的工作是去各种公司试着卖给他们塑料带子。我根本想象不了自己做这种事。他也痛恨这个工作，他有更多的钱，但他的工作非常糟糕。我的工作虽然是体力活，但是我不需要和别人交流，我可以听一整天的音乐，这对我来说十分完美。所以我为什么一定要想要他的“好工作”呢？社会告诉我我应该努力追求那种好工作，因为“有钱”，并且如果我“不想要更多”的话，几乎要因此羞辱我。

For me it's all about hobbies, having the necessities to live, and having people you care about. That's happiness.

Exactly, sleep means work comes sooner. Staying up means work comes later. Who wants to go to work sooner?
完全没错，睡觉就意味着马上工作，但熬夜就意味着可以晚点工作。谁想马上工作呢？

When you feel you don't get enough "me" time during normal day hours, it becomes so so tempting to steal them from your much needed sleep.
当你觉得在正常的白天时间得不到足够的“我自己的”时间的时候，从你所非常需要的睡眠之中偷一点时间就会变得特别诱人。

当你觉得在正常的白天时间得不到足够的“我自己的”时间的时候，从你所非常需要的睡眠之中偷一点时间就会变得特别诱人。
This is a vicious cycle, since being sleepy during the day at work makes you less productive & more stressed out, leading you to crave even more "me" time which you again steal from your sleep.
但这是个恶性循环，因为白天工作的时候困会让你生产力更低，压力也更大，从而让你需要更多的“我自己的”时间，你还得从睡眠时间里面偷。
