I was sitting alone in a dark room, a tall glass of water in one hand, my iPhone in the other. On the screen in front of me was the Spike Jonze film Her. As it played, the romance in which Theodore, the human, and Samantha, the software, found themselves unfolded. 我独自坐在一个黑暗的房间里，一只手拿着装水的高脚杯，另一只手拿着iPhone。屏幕中放映着斯派克o琼斯导演的电影《她》（Her）。电影中的人类西奥多和软件萨曼莎之间的浪漫故事，正在我的眼前徐徐展开。 Then it hit me: I am Theodore. My smartphone is Samantha. I am in love with my iPhone. 然后我突然想到：我就是西奥多，我的手机就是萨曼莎。我正在跟我的手机热恋。 The parallels were uncanny. Deep inside the device in my hand, my darkest secrets are stored: My true feelings surrounding my father’s death, the struggles of being a parent, the self-doubt I shrug off each day, photos from my wedding day, a video of my daughter’s first steps. My phone knows the finite details of my brightest and darkest moments. 这种类比十分不可思议。我手中的这台设备储存了我内心最深处的秘密：关于我父亲逝世的真实感受，初为人父的挣扎，每天努力摆脱的自我怀疑，婚礼时的照片，女儿第一次走路的视频。我的手机对我最精彩和最黑暗的时刻都了如指掌 I was sitting alone in a dark room, a tall glass of water in one hand, my iPhone in the other. On the screen in front of me was the Spike Jonze film Her. As it played, the romance in which Theodore, the human, and Samantha, the software, found themselves unfolded. |
