You wake up in the morning and you look into the mirror and you don't recognize the face staring back at you.

清晨醒來，你對著鏡子，卻認不出鏡子裡的自己。

I got my first pair when I was 9 years old and until I put them on I don't feel like I'm Chris Velasco.

我 9 歲時就有了第一雙鞋，直到穿上它，我才覺得自己是 Chris Velasco。

Our glasses are getting smarter and it doesn't feel like these changes are going to stop.

我們的眼鏡越來越智慧，而且感覺這種變化不會停止。

And slowly I can feel myself changing too.

慢慢地，我能感覺到自己也在改變。

But let me walk you through three pairs of smart glasses that have started to change the way I live my life.

不過，讓我帶你瞭解一下已經開始改變我生活方式的三副智慧眼鏡。

And it starts in all places in the mountains above Rwanda.

而這一切都始於盧安達的高山之上。

I got married and before long my wife and I were flying to Rwanda to take off our honeymoon.

我結婚了，沒過多久，我和妻子就飛往盧安達度蜜月。

And I had an enormous camera with me so I could take like honestly way too many pictures of animals.

我還帶了一個大相機，這樣我就能拍下太多動物的照片了。

Everything I captured with that real camera turned out great.

我用那臺真正的相機拍攝的一切都非常棒。

But it was only afterwards that I realized I had poured so much energy into taking photos because I guess I wanted someone to be impressed by them when it was all over?

但事後我才意識到，我花了那麼多精力去拍照，大概是希望在一切結束後，有人能對我的照片留下深刻印象吧？

I think that's part of the reason why I haven't really gone back to look at any of these photos.

我想這也是我一直沒有回去看這些照片的部分原因。

What I have gone to look back on though are all of the photos and the videos that I captured wearing my meta Ray-Ban sunglasses.

不過，我現在回想起來的都是我戴著元雷朋太陽鏡拍攝的照片和視頻。

By every measure the stuff that came out of these glasses were objectively worse than what I got with the Sony full frame deal I was using for animal photos.

無論從哪個角度看，這副眼鏡拍出來的照片客觀上都不如我用索尼全畫幅眼鏡拍的動物照片。

But I guess that's why they stick with me.

但我想，這就是它們與我相伴的原因。

They're the most raw, most true to life record I have of everything that happened.

它們是我對所發生的一切最原始、最真實的記錄。

And the moment that I really started feeling thankful was when we hiked up into the Virunga Mountains and came face to face with a gorilla.

當我們徒步進入維龍加山脈，與一隻大猩猩面對面時，我才真正開始心存感激。

This happened pretty fast and our guides gave us very strict advice about what to do in situations like these.

這種情況發生得很快，我們的嚮導給了我們非常嚴格的建議，告訴我們在這種情況下應該怎麼做。

You're supposed to make low grumbly noises and keep your hands down, slowly back away, that kind of thing.

你應該發出低沉的咕噥聲，雙手下垂，慢慢後退，諸如此類。

It didn't feel like a great idea to put my phone in this dude's face but I felt like I could just get away with clicking a button on my glasses.

我覺得把手機對著這傢伙的臉不是個好主意，但我覺得只要按一下眼鏡上的按鈕就可以了。

And I got this amazing first person memory that kind of dominates my recollection.

在我的記憶中，我有一個驚人的第一人稱記憶。

But I can't wear sunglasses 24-7 so I turned to another pair of smart glasses for kind of everyday use.

但我不能 24 小時都戴著太陽鏡，所以我又換了一副智能眼鏡，供日常使用。

And those surprised me too in ways that I really didn't see coming.

這些也讓我大吃一驚，我真的沒有想到會這樣。

These are the Even G1 smart glasses from a company called EVEN Realities.

這是一家名為 Even Realities 的公司推出的 Even G1 智慧眼鏡。

And they're probably the most sophisticated glasses I've worn through this whole journey.

在整個旅程中，這可能是我戴過的最精緻的眼鏡了。

And there's a tiny set of projectors at the front of each of these arms that beam light into them.

每條手臂的前端都有一組微型投影儀，向手臂發射光線。

They're there so you can read your notifications and your stock quotes and get responses from an AI chatbot.

有了它們，你就可以閱讀通知和股票報價，並獲得 AI 聊天機器人的回覆。

I often use these screens to leave myself little encouraging notes to get through the day.

我經常用這些螢幕給自己留一些鼓勵性的小紙條，以便度過一天。

I've got a selection of four or five loaded into the glasses.

And I can tap the little touch pad back here to find just the right one I need to see at any given moment.

我可以輕點後面的小觸摸板，隨時找到我要看的那張照片。

So look, I used to play with phones professionally for the internet.

聽著，我曾經在網上專業玩過手機。

Never in my life did I think I would work at a place like the Washington Post with some of the smartest, most talented people I have ever met.

我這輩子都沒想過會在《華盛頓郵報》這樣的地方工作，和我見過的最聰明、最有才華的人在一起。

And it is genuinely nice to get a little hit of positivity and self-encouragement throughout my day.

在我的一天中，能得到一點積極和自我鼓勵，真的很不錯。

I could talk to you about feelings for literally ever.

我可以和你談感情，談一輩子。

If I'm being honest, there are two other things I use these glasses for a lot.

老實說，我還經常用這副眼鏡做另外兩件事。

The first is a built-in teleprompter, which I'm actually not using.

第一個是內置提詞器，實際上我並沒有使用。

But it is genuinely really good for doing long, scripted videos.

但它確實非常適合製作冗長的腳本影片。

You use the app on your phone to set your destination.

你可以使用手機上的應用程式設置目的地。

And you get these helpful visual indicators in front of your face to make sure you're headed the right way.

你還能看到這些有用的視覺指示器，以確保你的方向正確。

It is no match for Google Maps, but it's helpful enough.

它雖然比不上谷歌地圖，但也足夠有用。

But really, I made it for these little notes of affirmation.

但實際上，我是為了這些肯定的小紙條而做的。

It took most of my life to realize the importance of being nice to yourself.

我花了大半輩子的時間才認識到善待自己的重要性。

And as weird as it is to admit, these glasses really helped me with that.

雖然承認這很奇怪，但這副眼鏡真的幫了我大忙。

Something else that took most of my life to learn was that you've got to take care of your hearing.

我花了大半輩子時間才學會的另一件事是，你必須保護好自己的聽力。

More and more, you may find yourself with that person at a party or out in a bar.

越來越多的時候，你會發現自己和那個人一起參加聚會或去酒吧。

Having to ask the people you're with to repeat what they just said.

不得不要求與你在一起的人重複他們剛剛說過的話。

It sucks so much, in fact, that I had to fly to New York a few months ago to pick up a pair of smart glasses I thought might help.

事實上，它是如此糟糕，以至於幾個月前我不得不飛到紐約去買一副智慧眼鏡，我想這可能會有所幫助。

These are the hearing glasses from a company called Nuance Audio.

這是一家名為 Nuance Audio 的公司生產的聽力眼鏡。

And at $1,200 before prescription lenses, they are by far the most expensive smart glasses I've tested.

在未配戴處方鏡片之前，這款眼鏡售價為 1,200 美元，是我測試過的最昂貴的智慧眼鏡。

But they might also be the most valuable personally because they're as much a pair of hearing aids as they are glasses.

但就個人而言，它們可能也是最有價值的，因為它們既是一副助聽器，也是一副眼鏡。

You've got a set of specially tuned microphones and speakers built into these really normal looking frames.

你可以在這些看起來非常普通的框架中安裝一套經過特殊調諧的麥克風和揚聲器。

And depending on what you need, they can amplify audio just in front of you or all around.

根據你的需要，它們可以放大你面前或四周的音頻。

After speaking to audiologists and people with hearing aids, it's become pretty clear that there is a stigma for people against hearing aids.

在與聽力學家和佩戴助聽器的人交談後，我們清楚地認識到，人們對助聽器有一種成見。

No one wants to sort of look old and like they need help.

沒有人希望自己看起來老態龍鍾、需要幫助。

You can more fully engage with the world around you without looking like you need any assistance at all.

你可以更充分地融入周圍的世界，而不會顯得需要任何幫助。

Look, I think big tech is coming for our glasses whether we're ready for it or not.

聽著，我認為無論我們是否準備好，大科技都會向我們的眼鏡襲來。

What I think is important though is not putting too much stock in every promise these companies make.

不過，我認為重要的是，不要過分相信這些公司的每一個承諾。

As I've said, these glasses aren't perfect.

正如我所說，這些眼鏡並不完美。

Not everything is going to work, but you don't need everything to work.

不是所有東西都能用，但也不需要所有東西都能用。

Find the one or two things that really matter and stick to it.

找到一兩件真正重要的事情並堅持下去。
