00:12
I've noticed something interesting about society and culture.
0
404
2594
关于社会和文化，我注意到一些有趣的事情。
00:14
Everything risky requires a license,
1
2998
2893
每件冒险的事情都需要一个许可证书，
00:17
so learning to drive, owning a gun, getting married.
2
5891
5421
像学车，买枪，结婚。
00:23
(Laughter)
3
11312
3547
（笑声）
00:26
That's true in everything risky except technology.
4
14859
3745
对于每件冒险的事情，都是如此，除了技术。
00:30
For some reason, there's no standard syllabus,
5
18604
2359
出于一些原因，没有标准的教学大纲，
00:32
there's no basic course.
6
20963
1856
没有基本的课程。
00:34
They just sort of give you your computer
7
22819
1545
他们只是给你一台电脑
00:36
and then kick you out of the nest.
8
24364
2156
然后把你赶出鸟窝。
00:38
You're supposed to learn this stuff how?
9
26520
2127
你应该学会这些。怎样学？
00:40
Just by osmosis. Nobody ever sits down
10
28647
2289
就像osmosis所说，没人会坐下来
00:42
and tells you, "This is how it works."
11
30936
2028
告诉你，“这是怎样一回事”。
00:44
So today I'm going to tell you 10 things
12
32964
3010
所以，今天我准备告诉你10件事情。
00:47
that you thought everybody knew, but it turns out they don't.
13
35974
3136
你认为每个人知道，但实际上他们不知道。
00:51
All right, first of all, on the web, when you're on the web
14
39110
2198
好的。第一，在网络上，当你面对网页的时候
00:53
and you want to scroll down, don't pick up the mouse
15
41308
1646
你想要向下滚动（网页）。不要拿起鼠标
00:54
and use the scroll bar. That's a terrible waste of time.
16
42954
2893
接着下拉滚动条。那是可怕的时间浪费。
00:57
Do that only if you're paid by the hour.
17
45847
2073
如果你的报酬按小时计算，那你可以那样做。
00:59
Instead, hit the space bar.
18
47920
2102
而你应该点击空格键。
01:02
The space bar scrolls down one page.
19
50022
3568
空格键向下滚动一个页面。
01:05
Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again.
20
53590
3111
按住 Shift键（+空格键）向上滚动回来。
01:08
So space bar to scroll down one page.
21
56701
2185
所以空格键，向下滚动一个页面。
01:10
It works in every browser on every kind of computer.
22
58886
1860
在所有电脑的浏览器上，它都有效。
01:12
Also on the web, when you're filling in one of these forms like your addresses,
23
60746
3874
同样，在网页上，当你在填写一个这样的表格，如你的地址，
01:16
I assume you know that you can hit the Tab key
24
64620
2362
我猜想，你知道按Tab键
01:18
to jump from box to box to box.
25
66982
1488
从一个框跳到另一个框。
01:20
But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state?
26
68470
3136
但是，面对下拉菜单--比如选择你的州，要怎么做?
01:23
Don't open the pop-up menu. That's a terrible waste of calories.
27
71606
3616
不要点开下拉菜单。那是可怕的卡路里消耗。
01:27
Type the first letter of your state over and over and over.
28
75222
3780
（在键盘上）按下你所在州的第一字母，再按，再按。
01:31
So if you want Connecticut, go, C, C, C.
29
79002
2412
比如你想选择康涅狄格州（Connecticut），按下，C，C，C。
01:33
If you want Texas, go T, T, and you jump right
30
81414
2896
如果是德克萨斯州（Texas），按下，T，T，然后你成功了。
01:36
to that thing without even opening the pop-up menu.
31
84310
2640
不用点开下拉菜单。
01:38
Also on the web, when the text is too small,
32
86950
3236
还有在网络上，当字太小，
01:42
what you do is hold down the Control key and hit plus, plus, plus.
33
90186
3524
你可以按下Control键（Ctrl），然后敲”+“，”+“，”+“。
01:45
You make the text larger with each tap.
34
93710
3279
每次按键，字就会更大一些。
01:48
It works on every computer, every web browser,
35
96989
1934
在所有电脑的浏览器上，它都有效。
01:50
or minus, minus, minus to get smaller again.
36
98923
1775
或者按下”−“，”−“，”−“，（字体）又变小些。
01:52
If you're on the Mac, it might be Command instead.
37
100698
2573
如果你用苹果系统，相应地，（Ctrl）可能是Command键。
01:55
When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone,
38
103271
4104
当你在黑莓、安卓系统手机、iPhone上打字的时候，
01:59
don't bother switching layouts to the punctuation layout
39
107375
3430
别那么麻烦地切换到符号界面
02:02
to hit the period and then a space and then try to capitalize the next letter.
40
110805
3464
去输入句号，空格，然后试着让首字母大写。
02:06
Just hit the space bar twice.
41
114269
2218
只要按两下空格键。
02:08
The phone puts the period, the space, and the capital for you.
42
116487
4044
手机就会自动为你添加句号，空格，和大写首字母。
02:12
Go space, space. It is totally amazing.
43
120531
3291
按下空格，空格，真是神奇。
02:15
Also when it comes to cell phones, on all phones,
44
123822
3154
还有当说到电话，在所有手机上，
02:18
if you want to redial somebody that you've dialed before,
45
126976
3381
如果你想要重拨，给之前打过的某个人，
02:22
all you have to do is hit the call button,
46
130357
2712
所有你要做的就是，按拨打键，
02:25
and it puts the last phone number into the box for you,
47
133069
3643
接着手机会为你添加那个号码。
02:28
and at that point you can hit call again to actually dial it.
48
136712
3237
然这个时候你按拨打键，再次拨打。
02:31
So you don't need to go into the recent calls list,
49
139949
2032
你不需要进入通话记录，
02:33
so if you're trying to get through to somebody,
50
141981
1706
所以，如果你在试着拨通某个人，
02:35
just hit the call button again.
51
143687
1057
只要再次按拨打键。
02:36
Here's something that drives me crazy.
52
144744
1402
接下来的事，让我疯狂。
02:38
When I call you and leave a message on your voicemail,
53
146146
2587
每当我呼叫你，接着在你的语音邮箱留下信息，
02:40
I hear you saying, "Leave a message,"
54
148733
1987
我听到你说，”留下信息“，
02:42
and then I get these 15 seconds of frickin' instructions,
55
150720
3525
然后我会听到15秒吓人的提示，
02:46
like we haven't had answering machines for 45 years!
56
154245
3688
好像我们已经45年没用电话应答机啦！
02:49
(Laughter)
57
157933
3059
（笑声）
02:52
I'm not bitter.
58
160992
3037
我不是愤怒。
02:56
So it turns out there's a keyboard shortcut
59
164029
2336
这里有一个键盘快捷键
02:58
that lets you jump directly to the beep like this.
60
166365
2193
让你直接得跳到”哔声“,像这样。
03:00
Answering machine: At the tone, please — BEEP.
61
168558
2705
（电话应答机：听到声音，请—”哔声“）
03:03
David Pogue: Unfortunately, the carriers didn't adopt
62
171263
2138
（David Pogue）：不幸地是，运营商没有采用一样的快捷键。
03:05
the same keystroke, so it's different by carrier,
63
173401
2961
所以，运营商不一样，（快捷键）也不一样。
03:08
so it devolves upon you to learn the keystroke
64
176362
3065
你需要去了解所拨打号码的
03:11
for the person you're calling.
65
179427
2018
运营商特定的快捷键。
03:13
I didn't say these were going to be perfect.
66
181445
2058
我没说这个技巧是完美的。
03:15
Okay, so most of you think of Google as something
67
183503
3202
好吧，你们中的多数认为Google，
03:18
that lets you look up a webpage, but it is also a dictionary.
68
186705
3148
是为你寻找一个网页。不过它也是一个字典。
03:21
Type the word "define" and then the word you want to know.
69
189853
2729
输入关键词”define“，然后是你要查询的单词。
03:24
You don't even have to click anything.
70
192582
1610
你甚至不需要点击什么。
03:26
There's the definition as you type.
71
194192
2457
你的词打好了定义就会出来。
03:28
It's also a complete FAA database.
72
196649
2062
它也是一个完整的FAA（美国联邦航空管理局）数据库。
03:30
Type the name of the airline and the flight.
73
198711
1970
输入航线和航班的名字。
03:32
It shows you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal,
74
200681
2572
你会告诉你航班去向，登机口，航站楼，
03:35
how long till it lands. You don't need an app for that.
75
203253
2160
飞行时长。你不需要为此安装一个应用程式。
03:37
It's also a unit and currency conversion.
76
205413
2752
它也是一个单位、货币转化器。
03:40
Again, you don't have to click one of the results.
77
208165
2848
再次（说明），你不需要点击结果中的一个。
03:43
Just type it into the box, and there's your answer.
78
211013
2392
只要输入到（搜索）框，那就是你所要找的。
03:45
While we're talking about text,
79
213405
2185
而我们讨论到文本，
03:47
when you want to highlight --
80
215590
2368
当你想要高亮显示
03:49
this is just an example. (Laughter)
81
217958
4032
这只是一个例子。（笑声）
03:53
When you want to highlight a word,
82
221990
2279
当你想要高亮显示一个单词
03:56
please don't waste your life dragging across it
83
224269
2793
请不要浪费你的生命，去用鼠标选择它
03:59
with the mouse like a newbie.
84
227062
1639
像菜鸟一样。
04:00
Double click the word. Watch 200. I go double click.
85
228701
3392
（可以）双击单词。看着”200“，我双击。
04:04
It neatly selects just that word.
86
232093
1684
它就近选择那个单词。
04:05
Also, don't delete what you've highlighted.
87
233777
2741
还有，不要删除你所高亮显示的。
04:08
You can just type over it. This is in every program.
88
236518
2951
你可以直接输入。任何程序里都可行（如浏览器）。
04:11
Also, you can go double click, drag
89
239469
1650
还有，你能双击，拖曳
04:13
to highlight in one-word increments as you drag.
90
241119
3169
高亮显示
04:16
Much more precise. Again, don't bother deleting.
91
244288
3262
更加的精确。再一次，不要劳神去删除。
04:19
Just type over it. (Laughter)
92
247550
5031
直接输入即可。（笑声）
04:24
Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button
93
252581
3445
快门延迟是你按下快门键
04:28
and the moment the camera actually snaps.
94
256026
2187
和相机实际抓拍瞬间相隔的时间差。
04:30
It's extremely frustrating on any camera under 1,000 dollars.
95
258213
3288
在任何低于1000美元的相机上，都有这个令人烦恼的问题。
04:33
(Camera click)
96
261501
1539
（相机快门声）
04:35
(Laughter)
97
263040
2910
（笑声）
04:37
So that's because the camera needs time
98
265950
2525
所以那是因为相机需要时间
04:40
to calculate the focus and the exposure,
99
268475
1848
来计算焦点和光圈。
04:42
but if you pre-focus with a half-press,
100
270323
2760
但是如果你先按下一半（快门）来预聚焦（在小朋友身上），
04:45
leave your finger down, no shutter lag!
101
273083
4182
然后按下你的手指，没有快门延迟！
04:49
You get it every time.
102
277265
1811
每一次，你都能成功。
04:51
I've just turned your $50 camera
103
279076
2033
用那个技巧，我把你50美元的相机
04:53
into a $1,000 camera with that trick.
104
281109
2270
变成1000美元的相机。
04:55
And finally, it often happens that you're giving a talk,
105
283379
3600
最后，你在发表演说，但常常
04:58
and for some reason the audience is looking at the slide
106
286979
3056
出于一些原因，观众在看幻灯片。
05:02
instead of at you! (Laughter)
107
290035
3456
而不是你！（笑声）
05:05
So when that happens, this works in Keynote, PowerPoint,
108
293491
3151
所以，当出现这样的情况时，比如在Keynote, PowerPoint，
05:08
it works in every program, all you do is hit the letter B key,
109
296642
2978
这个方法都有效的，你所要做的就是按下字母B键，
05:11
B for blackout, to black out the slide
110
299620
2369
黑掉幻灯片。黑掉它。
05:13
and make everybody look at you, and then when you're ready to go on,
111
301989
2167
这让每个人都关注你。然后当你准备继续，
05:16
you hit B again, and if you're really on a roll,
112
304156
3247
你再按下B键，接着如果你真很顺利的话，
05:19
you can hit the W key for whiteout,
113
307403
2841
你可以按W键，让屏幕全白。
05:22
and you white out the slide, and then you can hit W again
114
310244
3127
你这样子做了，然后你可以再按下W键，
05:25
to unblank it.
115
313371
1273
恢复回来。
05:26
So I know I went super fast. If you missed anything,
116
314644
2605
我知道我讲得非常快。如果你错过了什么，
05:29
I'll be happy to send you the list of these tips.
117
317249
2234
我会很乐意发给你这些建议。
05:31
In the meantime, congratulations.
118
319483
1570
与此同时，祝贺大家。
05:33
You all get your California technology license.
119
321053
2590
你们得到加州技术证书。
05:35
Have a great day.
120
323643
1195
祝有美好的一天。
05:36
(Applause)

Why you should listen
Which cell phone to choose? What software to buy? Are camera-binoculars a necessity or novelty?

A tireless explorer of everyday technology, David Pogue investigates all the options so we don't have to.
