SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX
社交媒体脱瘾

主持人
Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox,Brenton High's fundraising campaign for new sports equipment. At the start of the detox,over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media,in ANY form,for seven days.This meant no messaging friends,no posting photos,no blogging-nothing.They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media. They were excited.They were nervous.But could they do it
今天是布伦顿高中"社交媒体戒断"活动的最后一天，这项为购置新体育器材发起的筹款活动启动时，逾百名学生被说服在七天内彻底停止使用任何形式的社交媒体。这意味着不能给朋友发消息、不能晒照片、不能写博客——完全断网。他们的亲友承诺，每成功戒断一天就会捐赠一笔钱。学生们既兴奋又忐忑——他们真的能做到吗？
With the detox now finished,they've switched on their devices and they're back online.I bet you're as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated enough to last the full seven days!And what,if anything,has been learnt from the experience
随着戒断期现已结束，他们重新打开了电子设备并恢复在线。我敢打赌，您和我一样迫切想知道究竟有多少人坚持熬过了完整的七天！以及从这段经历中——如果真有所获的话——学到了什么？

I lasted two days.The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected. I felt like I had lost an arm!Not eating for two days would have been easier!But on reflection,I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone.I'm now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.
我坚持了两天。戒断反应比预期更难忍受，感觉就像失去了一条手臂！饿上两天都比这容易！但细想之下，我意识到自己曾花费多少时间在刷手机上。现在正尝试减少上网时间，重拾那些被搁置的爱好。

I lasted four days.On Monday,my classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend-it felt really strange not to already know what he had done.We would usually have posted pictures and updated our profiles.Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking!It made me realise the value of real contact that I had forgotten.
我坚持了四天。周一那天，我和同学聊起周末做了什么——那种对他所做的事毫不知情的感觉实在怪异。往常我们都会上传照片、更新动态。这次数字排毒迫使我们通过交谈来讲述彼此的近况和想法！这让我重新意识到已被遗忘的真实社交的价值。

I managed the whole week!At first,I really felt I was missing out.Then,instead of messaging my friend,I went round to her house.Without our phones,we had a proper conversation for over two hours,without being distracted by messages from other people.It felt so good!Then I decided to visit a different friend every day.By the fifth day,I wondered-was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to
我成功坚持了整个星期！起初，确实觉得自己错过了什么。后来我没有给朋友发消息，而是直接去了她家。在没有手机的情况下，我们进行了两个多小时专注的交谈，没有被其他人的消息打扰。这种感觉太棒了！于是我决定每天都去拜访不同的朋友。到了第五天，我开始思考——不频繁查看手机关注他人的动态，我真的错过了什么吗？

I did all seven days,too!To be honest,I didn't find the detox too difficult,but I did give my phone to my dad to avoid giving in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone,so he took me to check out our local sports centre.An hour's sport each day left me tired out and wanting to go to bed early.The detox made me healthier!
我也坚持了整整七天！说实话，这次数字戒断对我来说并不算太难，不过为了抵制诱惑，我确实把手机交给了父亲保管。我弟弟认为应该充分利用没有手机的时光，便带我去体验了社区体育中心的设施。每天一小时的运动让我精疲力尽，只想早早入睡。这次戒断让我变得更健康了！

I'm embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel on the first day!I knew there was a party happening that evening,but without access to social media I couldn't remember where it was!In the end,I turned on my phone to check,but couldn't resist having a quick look at my social media accounts.What's worse,I then spent so much time catching up on news,I almost missed the party!
说来惭愧，我在第一天就缴械投降了！虽然知道当晚有个派对，但脱离社交媒体的我竟想不起具体地点！最终我开机查看时，却忍不住快速浏览了社交媒体账号。更糟的是，随后我花了大量时间刷新闻，差点错过派对！

The detox raised a total of E1,632.82 for new school sports equipment!Well done,everyone who took part!After reading the posts on this forum,it seems that something other than money has also been raised through the detox.Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better.
这次排毒活动共筹集了1,632.82欧元用于购置新校园体育器材！所有参与者都表现得很棒！浏览论坛帖子后，我们发现除了资金外，这次活动还收获了更重要的东西——通过这次"数字排毒"，大家意识到我们对社交媒体的依赖程度，这种认知能帮助我们远离屏幕，实现更高质量的面对面交流。

Valuable Values
珍贵价值
The spending power of young people varies from person to person.Each, however,is faced with the same question:what to do with their money Some handle this less well than others.Recent headlines have seen more and more teens maxing out their parents' credit cards on games or other online activities.
年轻人的消费能力因人而异。但每个人都面临同样的问题：该如何支配自己的金钱？有些人的理财能力不如他人。最近的新闻头条显示，越来越多青少年将父母的信用卡刷爆在游戏或其他网络消费上。
In contrast to these big spenders,there are also teens that prove age is no barrier to making good use of money.With the help of her grandmother,eight-year-old Khloe Thompson started making"Kare Bags"for the homeless people in her district Inside the bags are necessities such as toothpaste,soap and socks,bought first with her pocket money and then through crowd funding.These items helped to make the lives of poor and homeless people a little bit easier.On receiving a Kare Bag,one woman said,“You make me feel like a human being.”
与这些大手大脚的人相反，也有一些青少年证明了年龄并不是有效利用金钱的障碍。在她祖母的帮助下，八岁的克洛伊·汤普森开始为她所在地区的无家可归者制作“关怀包”。包里装有牙膏、肥皂和袜子等必需品，最初是用她的零花钱购买的，后来通过众筹筹集资金。这些物品帮助贫困和无家可归者的生活变得稍微容易一些。一位收到关怀包的女士说：“你让我觉得自己像个真正的人。”
However people intend to use their money,managing it seems to be unprecedentedly important to younger generations.A 2016 study said 17 states of the US require high school students to take courses in personal finances.For those who have no access to courses,help might be at hand thanks to Jerry Witkovsky and his method of using four jars to teach teenagers how to spend their money wisely.
无论人们打算如何使用他们的钱，管理钱似乎对年轻一代前所未有的重要。2016年的一项研究指出，美国有17个州要求高中生学习个人理财课程。对于那些没有机会参加这些课程的人来说，杰里·维特科夫斯基和他的用四个罐子教青少年如何明智花钱的方法可能会有所帮助。
When Jerry's grandchildren turned 13,his present to each of them was three jars:one for Spending,one for Saving,and another for Giving-he has since added a fourth jar for Investing.It was from then on that his grandchildren started to be in control of what to do with the money they receive:spend,save,invest or give Jerry's birthday present to his grandchildren is,however,much more than money and a few jars-he is giving them the opportunityto learn lifelong values.
当杰里的孙辈们年满13岁时，他送给每个人的礼物是三个罐子：一个用于消费，一个用于储蓄，另一个用于捐赠——后来他又增加了第四个投资罐。正是从那时起，他的孙辈们开始自主决定如何处理收到的钱：是花掉、存起来、投资还是捐赠？然而，杰里送给孙辈们的生日礼物远不止是金钱和几个罐子——他给予他们的是学习终身价值观的机会。
The value taught with the Spending jar is that you are responsible for your own happiness.Money gives you independence and the opportunity to buy something you like.After all,it's OK to be nice to yourself!
储蓄罐教会我们的价值观是：你要为自己的快乐负责。金钱能带给你独立自主的能力，以及购买心仪之物的机会。毕竟，善待自己无可厚非！
While the Spending jar is about the here and now,the Saving jar gives you a vision for the future.This could involve saving for university,but it could also mean saving for that special something you've seen in the stores-it's up to you.
当"消费罐"关注的是当下时，"储蓄罐"则为你描绘未来愿景。这既可能是为大学教育存钱，也可能意味着为商店里那件心仪之物储蓄——选择权完全在你手中。
The Investing jar not only represents a vision for the future,but gives the opportunity to build for the future.Although this could likewise involve putting aside money for your university education,it also means investing in yourself.
这只投资罐不仅承载着对未来的愿景，更提供了为未来筑基的契机。虽然它同样可以是为大学教育储备的资金，但更深层的意义在于对自我成长的投资。
The Giving jar is all about kindness and helping.Whether you want to help out a friend,give money to an animal charity or to children in another country,it's your money to give to whatever cause you believe in.
"给予罐"传递的是善意与助人之心。无论是想帮助朋友、捐款给动物慈善机构，还是资助异国儿童，这笔钱完全由您支配，可用于任何您认同的事业。
The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more objectively about money and the things that it can do,so that they grow up understanding,if you like,the value of the valuable.In this way,they will be better equipped in their adult lives to make informed choices about how they use the money they have.Indeed, the small change inside their jars could mean a big change in how they manage their money.
这些储蓄罐更深远的目标在于引导青少年更客观地思考金钱及其所能带来的事物，让他们在成长过程中逐渐领悟——不妨这么说——珍贵之物的真正价值。通过这种方式，他们将能在成年后更从容地做出明智选择，合理支配自己的财富。事实上，储蓄罐里那些零钱的变化，可能意味着他们理财方式的重大转变。
