walden zone 瓦尔登区-凯发k8官网

we spend all day surrounded by beeping, blinking gizmos. wouldn't it be nice to have a room in your home designated as a place with no communications devices? one writer has coined a new phrase for this idea: a walden zone. 

我们每天被各种设备的提示音和闪烁的提示灯包围。如果在家里指定一个区域不让任何电子通讯设备出现，会不会是个不错的主意？一位作家已经为这个想法新创了个名字：瓦尔登区。

 

in the book hamlet's blackberry, writer william powers defines "walden zone" as "a room where no screens of any kind are allowed." it's a place of tranquility where you can escape from crowds, like henry david thoreau retreating to walden pond.

作家威廉·鲍尔斯在名为《哈姆雷特的黑莓》一书中对“瓦尔登区”给出的定义是“不允许有任何屏幕设备出现的区域”。那是一个可以让你逃离人群享受宁静的地方，就像亨利·戴维·梭罗在瓦尔登湖边度过的时光一样。

 

shutting off ^{1 2} -- no tv, no phone, no internet -- frees up mental space to concentrate on all kinds of discovery and imagination. 

与所有的外界信息隔绝，没有电视，没有电话，没有网络，让你的头脑有更多空间去想象，去发现。
