台词(53 句)

00:03
I've noticed something interesting about society and culture. Everything risky requires a license.

关于社会和文化,我注意到一件有趣的事:每件有风险的事都需要一张执照。

00:09
So, learning to drive, owning a gun, getting married.

比如学开车、持有枪支、结婚。

00:14
There's a certain -- (Laughter) That's true in everything risky, except technology.

总得有点儿——(笑声)凡是有风险的事都是如此,唯独技术例外。

00:22
For some reason, there's no standard syllabus, there's no basic course.

不知为什么,技术没有标准的教学大纲,也没有入门课程。

00:26
They just sort of give you your computer and then kick you out of the nest. You're supposed to learn this stuff -- how?

他们就这么塞给你一台电脑,然后把你踢出鸟窝。你应该学会这些东西——可怎么学呢?

00:32
Just by osmosis. Nobody ever sits down and tells you, "This is how it works."

全靠耳濡目染。从来没人坐下来告诉你:「它就是这么用的。」

00:36
So today I'm going to tell you ten things that you thought everybody knew, but it turns out they don't.

所以今天我要告诉你十件事,你以为人人都知道,其实大家并不知道。

00:42
First of all, on the web, if you want to scroll down, don't pick up the mouse and use the scroll bar.

首先,在网页上,如果你想往下翻,别去抓鼠标拖滚动条。

00:48
That's a terrible waste of time. Do that only if you're paid by the hour. Instead, hit the space bar.

那是极大的时间浪费。只有按小时拿钱的人才该那么干。你应该按空格键。

00:53
The space bar scrolls down one page. Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again.

空格键往下翻一页。按住 Shift 键,就能再翻回上一页。

01:00
So, space bar to scroll down one page; works in every browser, in every kind of computer.

空格键往下翻一页,在任何浏览器、任何电脑上都管用。

01:04
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.

同样在网页上,当你填地址之类的表格时,我猜你知道可以按 Tab 键在一个个输入框之间跳转。

01:12
But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state? Don't open the pop-up menu.

但选所在州的那个下拉菜单怎么办?别去点开它。

01:17
That's a terrible waste of calories. Type the first letter of your state over and over and over.

那是极大的卡路里浪费。直接反复敲你所在州的首字母。

01:22
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.

想选康涅狄格州就敲 C、C、C;想选德州就敲 T、T,一下就跳到了,连菜单都不用打开。

01:30
Also on the web, when the text is too small, what you do is hold down the Control key and hit plus, plus, plus.

还是在网页上,字太小的时候,你就按住 Control 键,然后连敲加号、加号、加号。

01:37
You make the text larger with each tap. Works on every computer, every web browser, or minus, minus, to get smaller again.

每敲一下字就大一号。任何电脑、任何浏览器都管用;敲减号、减号,字又变小。

01:44
If you're on the Mac, it might be Command instead.

如果你用的是 Mac,那可能要换成 Command 键。

01:47
When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone, don't bother switching layouts to the punctuation layout to hit the period and then a space, then try to capitalize the next letter.

在黑莓、安卓手机或 iPhone 上打字时,别费劲切到符号键盘去敲句号,再敲空格,再想办法把下一个字母变成大写。

01:58
Just hit the space bar twice. The phone puts the period, the space, and the capital for you.

只要连按两下空格键。手机会替你补上句号、空格和大写首字母。

02:04
Go space, space. It is totally amazing.

空格、空格,就这么简单,太神奇了。

02:07
Also when it comes to cell phones, on all phones, if you want to redial somebody that you've dialed before, all you have to do is hit the call button,

还有手机,所有手机都一样:想重拨刚才打过的号码,你只需要按一下拨号键,

02:16
and it puts the last phone number into the box for you, and at that point you can hit call again to actually dial it.

它就会把上一个号码填进输入框,这时你再按一次拨号键,电话就打出去了。

02:23
No need to go to the recent calls list if you're trying to call somebody just hit the call button again.

不用去翻通话记录,想打给谁,再按一次拨号键就行。

02:28
Something that drives me crazy: When I call you and leave a message on your voice mail, I hear you saying,

有件事让我抓狂:我打给你、要在你的语音信箱留言时,先听见你说,

02:34
"Leave a message," and then I get these 15 seconds of freaking instructions, like we haven't had answering machines for 45 years!

「请留言」,接着还得听十五秒该死的操作提示——搞得好像我们这四十五年来没用过电话答录机似的!

02:41
(Laughter) I'm not bitter.

(笑声)我可没有怨气。

02:46
(Laughter) So it turns out there's a keyboard shortcut that lets you jump directly to the beep like this.

(笑声)其实有个快捷键,能让你直接跳到「哔」的那一声,像这样。

02:52
Phone: At the tone, please...

电话提示音:听到提示音后,请……

02:53
(Beep) 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.

(哔声)大卫·波格:可惜各家运营商没有统一这个按键,所以按键因运营商而异,只能靠你自己去记住对方所用运营商的按键。

03:05
I didn't say these were going to be perfect. So most of you think of Google as something that lets you look up a web page, but it is also a dictionary.

我可没说这些技巧十全十美。你们大多数人把谷歌当成查网页的工具,可它也是一本词典。

03:13
Type the word "define" and the word you want to know. You don't even have to click anything.

输入 define,再加上你想查的词。你甚至不用点任何按钮。

03:17
There's the definition as you type. It's also a complete FAA database.

你一边打字,释义就出来了。它还是一个完整的美国联邦航空局数据库。

03:22
Type the name of the airline and the flight. It shows you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal, how long until it lands.

输入航空公司和航班号,它会告诉你航班飞到哪了、登机口、航站楼、还有多久落地。

03:28
You don't need an app. It's also unit and currency conversion. Again, you don't have to click one of the results.

你不需要装应用。它还能做单位和货币换算。同样,你不用去点搜索结果。

03:34
Just type it into the box, and there's your answer.

直接输进搜索框,答案就在那儿。

03:36
While we're talking about text -- When you want to highlight -- this is just an example -- (Laughter) When you want to highlight a word,

既然说到文字——当你想选中——这只是个例子——(笑声)当你想选中一个词时,

03:46
please don't waste your life dragging across it with the mouse like a newbie.

请别像新手那样,浪费生命用鼠标一点点拖着划过去。

03:52
Double click the word. Watch "200" -- I go double-click, it neatly selects just that word.

双击那个词。看「200」——我双击一下,它干净利落地只选中这个词。

03:57
Also, don't delete what you've highlighted. You can just type over it.

还有,别去删掉选中的内容,直接打字覆盖就行。

04:01
This is in every program. Also, you can go double-click, drag, to highlight in one-word increments as you drag.

所有程序都是这样。另外,你还可以双击后拖动,这样每拖一下就整词整词地选中。

04:07
Much more precise. Again, don't bother deleting. Just type over it.

精准得多。再说一次,不必删除,直接打字覆盖。

04:12
(Laughter) Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button and the moment the camera actually snaps.

(笑声)快门延迟,就是你按下快门键到相机真正拍下那一刻之间的时间差。

04:21
It's extremely frustrating on any camera under $1,000.

在任何一千美元以下的相机上,这都令人抓狂。

04:24
(Camera click) (Laughter) So, that's because the camera needs time to calculate the focus and exposure,

(快门声)(笑声)这是因为相机需要时间计算对焦和曝光,

04:33
but if you pre-focus with a half-press, leave your finger down -- no shutter lag!

但如果你半按快门先对好焦,手指别松开——就没有快门延迟了!

04:40
You get it every time. I've just turned your $50 camera into a $1,000 camera with that trick.

每一张都能抓准。用这一招,我就把你五十美元的相机变成了一千美元的相机。

04:47
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,你演讲时常会遇到这种情况:不知为什么,观众都在看幻灯片,而不是看你!

04:54
(Laughter) So when that happens -- this works in Keynote, PowerPoint, it works in every program -- all you do is hit the letter B key, B for blackout, to black out the slide, make everybody look at you,

(笑声)遇到这种情况——Keynote、PowerPoint,所有程序都适用——你只要按字母 B 键,B 代表黑屏,把幻灯片变黑,让所有人看你,

05:06
and then when you're ready to go on, you hit B again, and if you're really on a roll, you can hit the W key for "whiteout," and you white out the slide, and then you can hit W again to un-blank it.

等你准备好继续,再按一次 B。如果你状态正佳,还可以按 W 键,W 代表白屏,把幻灯片变白,再按一次 W 就恢复。

05:18
So I know I went super fast. If you missed anything, I'll be happy to send you the list of these tips.

我知道我讲得飞快。如果你漏掉了什么,我很乐意把这份技巧清单发给你。

05:23
In the meantime, congratulations. You all get your California Technology License.

与此同时,恭喜各位,你们都拿到了加州技术执照。

05:27
Have a great day. (Applause)

祝你们今天愉快。(掌声)
