yet I'm lonely.

不過，我很寂寞

I speak to all of them every day, yet

我每天和他們聊天，不過

none of them really know me.

沒有一位是我的知己

LOOK UP

抬起頭吧

The problem I have sits in the spaces between

問題出在我要直視他們的眼睛

looking into their eyes or at a name on a screen.

或僅是盯著螢幕上的名字

I took a step back and opened my eyes

我退了步想了想，睜開眼睛

I looked around and realised

看了看四周，發覺

that this media we call social is anything but.

我們所稱的社群媒體，只不過是

When we open our computers

打開電腦後

and it's our doors we shut.

將自己禁閉於房內的互動而已

All this technology we have is just an illusion.

Community, companionship, a sense of inclusion

yet when you step away from this device of delusion,

我們一遠離這些科技產品後

you awaken to see a world of confusion.

我們才覺醒，看見這渾沌的世界

A world where we're slaves to technology we mastered

A world of self-interest, self-image, self-promotion

自我感知良好、自我形象塑造、自我行銷的世界

where we all share best bits but leave out the emotion.

我們秀出最好的一面，但忘卻了情感的表達

We're uttermost happy within experience we share

獨樂樂不如眾樂樂

but is it the same if no one is there?

不過，獨自一人還能夠眾樂樂嗎?

Be there for your friends and they'll be there, too.

與友人共處，他們就會陪伴在你一旁

But no one will be if a group message will do.

但單靠群組聊天室，是沒有人會在你身邊的

We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation

我們做作、誇大不實、期待別人在我們臉書上按個讚

We pretend not to notice the social isolation.

我們假裝孤立感不存在

We put words into order until our lives are glistening.

編寫個片刻絮語，讓我們的生命看起來好像很精彩

We don't even know if anyone is listening.

但卻不知道是否有人會傾聽我們的聲音

just talk to one another. Learn to coexist.

僅需和身旁的人聊個天，學著「共存」

I can't stand to hear the silence of a busy commuter train

where no one wants to talk for the fear of looking insane.

沒有人願意發聲，只因為這看起來像個瘋子

We're becoming unsocial,

we're no longer satisfied to engage with one another

and looking into someone's eyes.

而感到滿足

We're surrounded by children, who since they were born,

生活在我們周遭的孩童，自出生

have watched us living like robots and think it is norm.

就看著活像機器人的我們，認為這是正常的

It's not very likely you make world's greatest dad

不是說你用個iPad娛樂你的小孩

if you can't entertain a child without using an iPad.

你就是世上最棒的爹地了

When I was a child I'd never be home.

還是個小孩時，我從未宅在家

Be out with my friends on our bikes

反倒是騎車與朋友在戶外溜搭

I had holes in my trainers and graze up my knees

鞋子磨壞、膝蓋犁田(臺語)

building our club house up in the trees.

蓋屬於我們的樹屋秘密基地

Now the park's so quiet it gives me a chill.

現今的公園冷清得令人寒毛直豎

See no children outside and the swings hanging still.

孩童不在外玩耍、盪鞦韆待命著

There is no skipping, no hop-scotch, no church and no steeple.

沒有跳跳繩、跳格子的嘻笑；沒人上教堂、沒有聽見鐘聲

We're generation of idiots:

我們是愚昧的世代

Smartphones and dumb people.

智慧型手機搭配愚昧使用者

So look up from your phone, shut down display.

所以別再當低頭族了! 關掉螢幕吧!

Take in your surroundings, make the most of today.

看看你的周遭，好好活著每一天

Just one real connection - - it's all it can take

to show you the difference that being there can make.

你就能看到「活著」的不一樣

你坐在內人床邊

sit down beside her bed,

握著她的手

You tell her that you love her, lay a kiss upon her head.

你告訴她你多愛她，在她額上輕輕一吻

She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat
