Movies, TV shows and many other types of media all want you to accept their messages at face value.

電影、電視節目和許多其他類型的媒體都希望你接受他們表面的資訊。

However, you should look beneath the surface and ask questions to decode what the's media messages are really saying.

然而，你應該看看表面之下，並提出問題，以解讀的媒體資訊到底在說什麼。

First, ask who is the source of the message.

首先，要問誰是資訊的來源。

Knowing who is ultimately responsible for a message can reveal its true intentions as well as any possible bias.

瞭解誰是資訊的最終負責人，可以揭示資訊的真實意圖以及任何可能的偏見。

If the source is an obvious, you can find it by following links or checking legal disclaimers.

如果來源明顯，你可以通過以下鏈接或查看法律免責聲明找到它。

Next, how is it trying to get your attention?

其次，它是如何想引起你的注意的？

The obvious part of a message is called the text, which includes any language, imagery, music or anything else you can see and hear.

資訊中明顯的部分稱為文本，它包括任何語言、影像、音樂或其他任何你能看到和聽到的東西。

Creators can use a multitude of techniques to grab your attention, and they will often craft the text to appeal to a specific audience.

創作者可以使用多種技巧來吸引你的注意力，他們通常會精心設計文本來吸引特定的閱聽人。

But even if you enjoy the message, try to remain critical, so you can see if the message contains actual substance or if it's all smoke and mirrors.

但即使你喜歡這個資訊，也要儘量保持批判性，這樣你就可以看到這個資訊是否包含實際的內容，或者是否都是煙霧繚繞。

Also, how could this message be interpreted?

另外，這條資訊如何解釋？

The implied part of a message is called The subtext, and it's suggested by the content, rather than directly seen or heard.

資訊中隱含的部分叫The subtext，它是由內容暗示的，而不是直接看到或聽到的。

We as individuals, then decide how to interpret that subtext based on our personal biases, worldviews and expectations.

然後，我們作為個體，根據個人的偏見、世界觀和期望，決定如何解釋這個潛臺詞。

People with different perspectives might interpret the same piece of media very differently.

不同角度的人可能會對同一篇媒體有截然不同的解讀。

While this may not be a big deal with the entertainment media, different interpretations of news and educational media can create confusion and misunderstanding.

對於娛樂媒體來說，這可能不是什麼大問題，但對新聞和教育媒體的不同解讀會造成混亂和誤解。

Try to set aside your biases and preconceptions and you'll be more likely to get in tune with what the message is actually trying to say.

試著拋開你的偏見和成見，你會更有可能與資訊實際想表達的內容保持一致。

Finally, is the message fair and trustworthy?

最後，資訊是否公平可信？

Some media may withhold or exaggerate info like an ad that makes their product appear more effective than it really is.

有些媒體可能會像廣告一樣隱瞞或誇大資訊，使其產品看起來比實際效果更好。

Make sure you always get a complete set of info from trustworthy sources, even if the media itself neglects to do so.

確保你總是從值得信賴的來源獲得一套完整的資訊，即使媒體本身忽略了這一點。

Deconstructing media messages is a critical skill in our media saturated culture as it helps you cut through the noise and reach your own conclusions.

解構媒體資訊是我們飽和的媒體文化中的一項重要技能，因為它能幫助你穿過噪音，得出自己的結論。
