In 2016, I filmed an episode of Black Mirror called Nosedive. It's about a woman named Lacie who lives in a futuristic world where everyone rates your social interactions. And for anyone who hasn't seen it, a little spoiler. I basically have a nervous breakdown, trying really hard to get liked. For many, the episode felt a little too familiar.
2016 年,我参演了《黑镜》的一集,名为《急转直下》。它讲述了一位生活在未来世界中的女性蕾西的故事,在这个世界中,大家会对你的社交行为评分。如果有人没看过,一个小小的剧透。在剧中,我基本精神崩溃,想尽办法被喜欢。许多人都对这个情节太熟悉不过了。

Until recently, only a small fraction of the human population lived their lives publicly. And while we haven't entered the Black Mirror world yet, we've entered a new era. Everyone has access to a global audience. We all live in public. Some more willingly than others.
直到最近,也只有一小部分人生活在公众的眼中。虽然我们还没有进入《黑镜》里的世界,但我们已经进入了一个新时代。每个人都可以受到全球的关注。我们都生活在公众视野下/我们的生活完全公开。一些人更愿意这样,其他人则没有那么乐意。

There's pressure to share more of ourselves than we want. We often feel we have no other choice. To be relevant. To fit in. To get ahead. To be trusted and liked. Accepted and understood. This new compulsion toward self-exposure is possibly the biggest social experiment in history. We're making life-altering decisions about our personal boundaries with no guidance and no precedent.
我们也面临压力,要更多但却违心地分享自己的生活。我们常常觉得自己别无选择。要合群。要融入环境。要出人头地。要受到信任和喜爱。要被人接受和理解。这种自我曝光的新冲动可能是有史以来最大的社会实验。关于个人界限,我们正做出改变一生的决定,没有指导,也没有先例可循。
be relevant 与..有关,意译为要合群 fit in 适应,意译为去融入环境 get ahead 要获得成功,去出人头地 be trusted and liked 要受到信任和喜爱 be accepted and understood 被接受和被理解 compulsion [kəmˈpʌlʃn] n. 强烈的欲望,冲动;被迫的状态;强迫力 exposure [ɪkˈspoʊʒər] n. 暴露,接触;曝光 self exposure and analysis 展示与剖析自我 experiment [ɪkˈsperɪmənt] n. 实验,试验;尝试,实践 v. 进行实验,做试验 life-altering adj.改变生活的 boundary [ˈbaʊndri] n. 分界线,边界;界限,范围; guidance [ˈɡaɪdns] n. 指导 career guidance 就业指导
Fortunately, there is a blueprint. Anyone who's lived in the public eye as an athlete, a politician or an entertainer has navigated a version of this. My dad has been a public figure since he was five years old, as an actor, a child actor, and later as a director. And I've been an actor since my early twenties. In fact, my family has been in the business of entertainment for three generations, contending with how to handle putting ourselves out there for the last 70 years.
幸运的是,我们有一个行动方案。任何作为运动员、政治家或艺人生活在公众视野中的人,都有应对这种情况的经验。在五岁时,我爸爸就成为了公众人物,他是一名小童星,后来成为了导演。在20岁出头的时候,我成为了演员。实际上,我家三代人都一直从事演艺事业,过去70年来都努力在那个圈子里出人头地。
