What she means to say is that she likes spending money on gadgets that clever marketing campaigns have convinced her she needs.

她的意思是她喜歡花錢買商人的帳。

No, I just like buying high-quality items that I know I'm going to get a lot of value out of, like this new Kindle Oasis.

才不是，我只是喜歡買高品質物品，我知道它會對我帶來很多價值，像是這台 Kindle Oasis。

Wait, wasn't the Kindle Oasis new in 2016?

嘿等等，Kindle Oasis 不是 2016 年就推出的嗎？

No, this is the new-new Kindle Oasis, and it's even better for reading books.

不，這是新的 Kindle Oasis，更適合用來閱讀。

You know what's really good for reading books?

你知道什麼才是真的適合拿來閱讀嗎？

Books.

書本。

Amazon launched this Kindle Oasis last fall, and it replaced the previous Kindle Oasis.

Amazon 於去年秋季發佈這一款 Kindle Oasis，取代了前一代 Kindle Oasis。

Ah, yeah, I remember now.

對哦，我想起來了。

That was the first Kindle Oasis, and it wasn't waterproof.

那是第一款 Kindle Oasis，而且根本不防水。

Well, surprise! This one is finally waterproof.

噠啦驚喜！這一款是防水的了。

It also cost 249 dollars, which is 50 dollars less than the original Oasis.

它售價 249 美金，還比前一款 Oasis 便宜 50 塊。

That's still a lot of money for a Kindle.

就一台 Kindle 來說還是蠻貴的。

Let me guess. This is the part where you say, the Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle ever.

讓我猜猜。這時候你想說，Kindle Paperwhite 才是最棒的一款 Kindle。

No, actually. I've turned a new leaf.

沒啊。我早向前看了。

I'm off Twitter, I'm only checking Facebook once a day, and I'm reading real books, real, paper books.

我戒了推特，一天才看一次臉書，而且我會看真的書，真的紙本書。

Uh-huh.

嗯哼。

So, basically, you're trying to go back to living in 2008.

所以基本上 …… 你是回到了 2008 年的生活。

Sometimes I think that wouldn't be such a terrible thing.

我想那也不是多糟的一件事。

Now this new Kindle Oasis has the brightest, highest-resolution display of any Kindle.

說回這款新的 Kindle Oasis，它比目前市面上任何 Kindle 都要有更亮、更高的解析度。

And I bet you can barely see the difference.

我想你肉眼看幾乎沒差別吧。

No, I mean, this actually matters when you're in a dark environment and you're just trying to see what's on the page.

並不是這樣，你如果是在一個黑暗的環境中閱讀，這就有差了。

Right, which is why I have this book lamp.

說得對，這也是為什麼我有書燈。

Just clip it on and fire it up.

只要夾上去然後點亮。

Okay, that is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen you do.

好哦，那是我看你做過最書呆的舉動了。

Did you carry that here in your knitting bag?

是裝在你的編織包裡帶來的嗎？

Yeah, okay. Also, this is square-shaped, and it's weighted in such a way that it's really easy to hold in one hand.

行啦。這是方形的，而且重量適宜單手拿取。

What does it matter that it's square-shaped?

是方形的又如何？

Okay, try holding that in one hand.

你試試一手拿書。

Comfortably.

舒服地拿著。

For an extended period of time.

拿一段時間。

Okay, that's probably one of the only things the Kindle is good for.

好吧，那大概是 Kindle 的長處之一。

It has these page turn buttons here.

這裡有翻頁按鈕。

Who needs buttons to turn a page?

誰需要按鈕來翻頁啊？

And like other Kindles, it has a touchscreen, so you can just navigate through chapters by tapping on it, or you can even press on a word to get its definition.

和其他 Kindle 一樣，它有觸控屏幕，所以你輕按就能瀏覽章節，甚至按住一個字就能得到字義解釋。

So if you're lazy, or you like skipping entire chapters of books, then that's the product for you, is what you're saying.

所以你的意思是：要是你是個懶人，或是你喜歡直接跳過一整個章節，Kindle 正是適合你的產品。

Also, it's battery life is excellent.

還有，它的續航力絕佳。

If you read for about a half hour a day, with the screen set to 40% of its maximum brightness, you should get about six weeks of battery life out of this.

如果你使用半天，屏幕亮度設定於 40%，就能持續使用六週。

You know how long this thing lasts?

你知道這東西能撐多久嗎？

Unless there's a fire, or a flood, or a nuclear event? Forever.

除非遇到水災、火災或是核災，不然就是永久存在。

It lasts forever, doesn't need to be charged, you just pick it up, and you read it.

它永遠都在，不需要充電，只需要拿起來開始讀。

Speaking of floods, this is the first Kindle that's waterproof.

說到水災，這是第一款防水的 Kindle。

Finally. I mean, Amazon made a virtual assistant that infiltrated everybody's homes before it managed to make a waterproof Kindle.

終於啊。我是說，大家家裡早都有 Amazon 的虛擬助理了，他們現在才做出防水的 Kindle。

Mm-hm. Yeah. So you can bring this in the tub, or the pool, or even the ocean, and not worry that if you drop it in, you're going to break it.

額 …… 對啊。所以你可以把它帶到浴缸、游泳池或甚至是海裡，不用擔心如果掉水裡了會壞掉。

If you drop that book in the tub, it's ruined.

如果你把書掉進浴缸裡，它就毀了。

That's not true.

才不會呢。

I mean, you'd have to shake it out a bit, and let it air dry, and it'd probably be pretty wrinkled, but it's readable.

你是會需要把它甩一甩，然後讓它風乾，或許會有點皺，但還是可以閱讀。

It's totally fine. It's fine.

完全沒問題。一點都沒。

And this Kindle supports Audible, so you can pair it with Bluetooth headphones, and have your books read aloud to you.

而且這款 Kindle 支援 Audible，所以你可以用藍牙耳機連接聽有聲書。

Oh for (bleep) sake, just get a tablet, then.

哦老天啊，買個平板不就得了。

Look, I know people really like their Kindles, and they're great for some things, but I just prefer actual books.

好啦，我知道人們喜歡用 Kindle，某些方面來說真的很棒，但我就是比較喜歡紙本書。

I dog-ear pages, you know, and I love when you can see what someone else is reading, and not just a leather-bound gadget.

我在書角折角，我喜歡能夠知道別人在讀些什麼，而不只是 包著皮革的器具。

That moment when you're on the train, and you look across the aisle, and your eyes meet across the top of the page.

當你坐在火車上，望向走道另一端，在書本上緣和某人四眼相交的一刻。

You sound like an unhinged Craigslist ad.

你聽起來像心裡有病的克雷格廣告。

Okay, well, look. People don't collect Kindles.

好嘛你聽。大家不會收集 Kindle。

They collect books.

收集的是書。

They don't buy Kindle cases, they invest in bookcases.

人們不會買 Kindle 殼，而是投資在書櫃裡。

And when I'm done, I can share these books with all of my friends, which is more than you can do, because of DRM.

而且當我讀完時，我可以和朋友分享，你因為數位版權管理沒辦法。

Yeah, but the same modern technology means that I have access to all the same books that you do, but in seconds, not days.

是沒錯，但現代科技讓我能夠在幾秒內獲得一本書，不像你要幾天。

Also, when I go on vacation, my carry-on bag is a lot lighter than yours.

而且當我外出度假，我的隨身包就會比你的輕很多。

I don't mind slow shipping.

我不介意漫長寄送時間。

I mean, with Amazon Prime, it's usually more like a couple days and these arrive.

有了 Amazon Prime 只需要一兩天書就到了。

Wait, so you're ordering all of your books off of Amazon?

等等，你也是都從 Amazon 買書？

No. I mean, some of them.

不。我是說，只有部分。

A lot, most of them.

很多 …… 大多數。

So we're both just giving all of our money to Amazon.

所以我們都是在向 Amazon 砸錢嘛。

Did I mention that I only buy used books?

我提到過我只買二手書嗎？

This one is waterproof. It's own, it's, fuck. Oops.

這一個防水。它寄幾 ……，乾糟糕。

That was good.

很棒。

I forgot what I was gonna say because I improvised.

我忘了我要說什麼了，我即興說的。

Should we do that over again?

我們要重來嗎？

Let's do it one more time.

再來一次。
