在路上，安全第一，別碰你的電子小玩意

By Anne Applebaum

Well， my idea to change the world would， I hope， be extremely popular among many people all over the…all over the planet. It would prevent accidents， it would increase traffic safety， and above all it would make it possible to walk very quickly down a crowded street. In other words， I would fine anybody who walks or drives or even stands still while simultaneously looking at their Smart Phone， their Blackberry， or their i-Pod on the street. There is nothing more 1）irritating than being stuck behind a crowd of people， who are moving 2） at a snails pace because theyre too busy reading Twitter， or being stuck at a traffic line behind someone who is answering their e-mail. And while I 3）concede that no one would want to create a whole new system of e-mail police， but maybe we could create an APP which would enable somehow these—Im sure the computer 4）geniuses can come up with it —which would enable fines to be laid on people who engage in this irritating social practice.

嗯，我希望自己改變世界的想法能夠在全球盛行。它能夠避免交通事故，提高安全系數?？偠灾鼘⑹梗ㄈ藗儯┛焖俚刈哌^一條喧囂的街道。換句話說，我會對這些人開罰：他們在街上開車、步行甚至站著不動時都不約而同地盯著智能手機、黑莓手機或者iPod來看。沒有比被塞在一大群人后面，只因為他們忙于看微博，或是因為（前面開車的人）在回復他們的電子郵件而堵車更令人惱怒了。盡管我承認沒人愿意設立一個全新的電子郵件（使用）管理系統，但是或許我們能夠創造一個應用程序——我相信電腦高手們能夠將它想出來——（這一應用程序）能夠對那些在街上有以上惱人舉動的人開罰單。
