断网一天

字幕原文

I turned my phone off for an entire day last weekend, 上周末我把手机关了整整一天，

and I'm slightly embarrassed by how hard it was. 没想到会这么难熬，搞得我怪不好意思的。

For the first few hours, 头几个小时，

my hand kept reaching for it out of pure habit, 我纯粹出于习惯，手老是忍不住去摸手机，

feeling for a phantom buzz that wasn't there. 总觉得它在震动，但其实根本没有。

I felt anxious, like I was missing something crucial. 我心里特别焦虑，总觉得自己错过了什么要紧事。

But by the afternoon, something loosened. 但到了下午，整个人好像慢慢松弛了下来。

The world got quieter and somehow bigger. 世界变安静了，不知怎么的，好像也变宽阔了。

I noticed things. 我开始留意身边的各种细节。

I had a long, slow conversation with no interruptions. 我和人好好聊了次天，慢条斯理的，完全没被打扰。

My own thoughts had room to stretch out. 自己的思绪也有了舒展的空间。

And when I finally turned the phone back on that night, 那天晚上我终于重新开机的时候，

I braced for a flood of urgent things. 我都做好准备迎接铺天盖地的紧急消息了。

There was almost nothing. 结果几乎什么都没有。

The world had carried on perfectly well without me watching it. 就算我没盯着，这个世界照样运转得好好的。

It turns out I'm far less essential 事实证明，我对互联网来说，

to the internet than it makes me feel. 远没有它让我感觉的那么重要。
