TED演讲：6S这些日常科技小技巧 你知道么？
6S已经出了很久了，这些日常科技小技巧，你知道么?(TED—David Pogue: 10 Tech Basics You ThinkEverybody Knows)最近总是有学生发出这样的感慨：老师，苹果手机怎么才能录音啊?原来电脑上也能用微信啊?!怎么同步手机备忘录啊?
面对这样的问题，我常常会想，大家手里的智能手机不便宜，有那么多炫酷的功能，都白瞎了，有些同学真心只会用写基础功能。为此，今天就翻出一篇较早的TED演讲内容，教大家几招简单好学、快速上手的手机、电脑使用小技巧，有几条在中国不太适用，但是依然可以了解一下哦。如果你是科技达人，请直接跳到后面的英文部分，学习一下这些科技相关的小话题，该如何用英文来表达。
Tip 1 向下翻网页，按【空格键】比较快;往上翻?按住【shift】+【空格键】
(原文节选)
First of all, on the web, if you want to scroll down, don't pick up the
mouse and use the scroll bar. That's a terrible waste of time. Do that only if
you're paid by the hour. Instead, hit the space bar. The space bar scrolls down
one page. Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again. So, space bar to
scroll down one page; works in every browser, in every kind of computer.
• 在网络上，我们除了可以说on the internet，还可以说on the web
• 在电脑上下拉网页叫做scroll down，而右边的滚动条叫做scroll bar
(scroll n. (书写用的)卷纸，羊皮卷纸 v. 滚屏 to scroll up / down)
• 点击空格键：hit the space bar，bar有长条的意思，因为空格键是长条形的，自然就叫bar而不是key了
• 按住，hold down，当我们需要同时按住两个甚至更多按键的时候，就可以用到这个短语了
• 浏览器：browser
Tip 2 在网页上填写表格时，使用【Tab键】切换信息框
(原文节选)
Also on the web, when you're filling in one of these forms like your
addresses, I assume you know that you can hit the Tab key to jump from box to
box to box. But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state? Don't
open the pop-up menu. That's a terrible waste of calories. Type the first letter
of your state over and over and over. So if you want Connecticut, go, C, C, C.
If you want Texas, go T, T, and you jump right to that thing without even
opening the pop-up menu.
• 下拉菜单，pop-up menu, pop-up有突然抬起、弹出的含义，是不是很形象呢?
Tip 3 网页字体不合适?按住【Ctrl(Command)与【+】/【-】来调节
(原文节选)
Also on the web, when the text is too small, what you do is hold down the
Control key and hit plus, plus, plus. You make the text larger with each tap.
Works on every computer, every web browser, or minus, minus, to get smaller
again. If you're on the Mac, it might be Command instead.
• 文本，text
• +加号，plus
• —减号，minus
Tip 4 手机输入英文时开头字母大写太麻烦?双击【空格键】就搞定了
(原文节选)
When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone, don't bother
switching layouts to the punctuation layout to hit the period and then a space,
then try to capitalize the next letter. Just hit the space bar twice. The phone
puts the period, the space, and the capital for you. Go space, space. It is
totally amazing.
• 界面，layout
• 标点符号界面，punctuation layout
• 句号，period
• 用大写字母写，capitalize
我们再来补充几个常见的标点符号的说法
+ plus 加号;正号
- minus 减号;负号
× is multiplied by 乘号
÷ is divided by 除号
= is equal to 等于号
≠ is not equal to 不等于号
≈ is approximately equal to 约等于号
> is greater than 大于号
% per cent 百分之…
∵ since; because 因为
∴ hence 所以
∠ angle 角
π pi
△ triangle 三角形
° degree 度
′ minute 分
″ second 秒
() brakets 括号
/ slash, divide, oblique斜线，斜杠，除号
# pound 井号
. full stop 句号
, comma 逗号
: colon 冒号
; semicolon 分号
? question mark 问号
! exclamation mark (英式英语)
exclamation point (美式英语)
' apostrophe 撇号
- hyphen 连字号
-- dash破折号
... dots/ ellipsis 省略号
" single quotation marks单引号
"" double quotation marks双引号
‖ parallel双线号
& ampersand = and
Tip 5 重拨刚刚打过的电话?直接按【拨号键】，号码就会自动出现
(原文节选)
Also when it comes to cell phones, on all phones, if you want to redial
somebody that you've dialed before, all you have to do is hit the call button,
and it puts the last phone number into the box for you, and at that point you
can hit call again to actually dial it. No need to go to the recent calls list
if you're trying to call somebody just hit the call button again.
• 重播，redial
• 通话记录，recent calls list
Tip 6&7
是关于语音信箱和Google的，可惜我们用不到，不过没关系，有一个词依然值得学习一下，keystroke，按键，这里可以理解成快捷键。
Tip 8 选中单词用鼠标?别闹，双击就可以了
(原文节选)
While we're talking about text -- When you want to highlight -- this is
just an example --
When you want to highlight a word, please don't waste your life dragging
across it with the mouse like a newbie. Double click the word. Watch "200" -- I
go double-click, it neatly selects just that word. Also, don't delete what
you've highlighted. You can just type over it. This is in every program. Also,
you can go double-click, drag, to highlight in one-word increments as you drag.
Much more precise. Again, don't bother deleting. Just type over it.
• newbie是新手的意思，尤指计算机领域的新手
• double click就是双击啦
Tip 9 相机拍照有快门延迟?先将快门按下一半，拍的时候再按下另一半，就没有延迟了
(原文节选)
Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button and the
moment the camera actually snaps. It's extremely frustrating on any camera under
$1,000.
• shutter lag，快门延迟
• snap，指啪的一声，也可以指快照哦，to take a snap
Tip 10 课堂展示的时候想让大家都看我，按一下【B】，PPT就黑掉了
(原文节选)
So when that happens -- this works in Keynote, PowerPoint, it works in
every program -- all you do is hit the letter B key, B for blackout, to black
out the slide, make everybody look at you, and then when you're ready to go on,
you hit B again, and if you're really on a roll, you can hit the W key for
"whiteout," and you white out the slide, and then you can hit W again to
un-blank it.
现在越来越多国内的学生也被要求做课堂展示(presentation)了，所以播放PPT是非常常见的事情。当你想把大家的注意力从你炫酷的PPT收回到你自己身上的时候，没有比迅速黑掉PPT更好的办法了，按下B，一切搞定。如果你特别喜欢白色，按下W，也是可以的。想要恢复内容?只要点击一下相同的字母。
• blackout， 灯火管制、停电

(文本全文)
I've noticed something interesting about society and culture. Everything
risky requires a license. So, learning to drive, owning a gun, getting married.
There's a certain (Laughter)
That's true in everything risky, except technology. For some reason,
there's no standard syllabus, there's no basic course. They just sort of give
you your computer and then kick you out of the nest. You're supposed to learn
this stuff -- how? Just by osmosis. Nobody ever sits down and tells you, "This
is how it works." So today I'm going to tell you ten things that you thought
everybody knew, but it turns out they don't.
First of all, on the web, if you want to scroll down, don't pick up the
mouse and use the scroll bar. That's a terrible waste of time. Do that only if
you're paid by the hour. Instead, hit the space bar. The space bar scrolls down
one page. Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again. So, space bar to
scroll down one page; works in every browser, in every kind of computer.
Also on the web, when you're filling in one of these forms like your
addresses, I assume you know that you can hit the Tab key to jump from box to
box to box. But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state? Don't
open the pop-up menu. That's a terrible waste of calories. Type the first letter
of your state over and over and over. So if you want Connecticut, go, C, C, C.
If you want Texas, go T, T, and you jump right to that thing without even
opening the pop-up menu.
Also on the web, when the text is too small, what you do is hold down the
Control key and hit plus, plus, plus. You make the text larger with each tap.
Works on every computer, every web browser, or minus, minus, to get smaller
again. If you're on the Mac, it might be Command instead.
When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone, don't bother
switching layouts to the punctuation layout to hit the period and then a space,
then try to capitalize the next letter. Just hit the space bar twice. The phone
puts the period, the space, and the capital for you. Go space, space. It is
totally amazing.
Also when it comes to cell phones, on all phones, if you want to redial
somebody that you've dialed before, all you have to do is hit the call button,
and it puts the last phone number into the box for you, and at that point you
can hit call again to actually dial it. No need to go to the recent calls list
if you're trying to call somebody just hit the call button again.
Something that drives me crazy: When I call you and leave a message on your
voice mail, I hear you saying, "Leave a message," and then I get these 15
seconds of freaking instructions, like we haven't had answering machines for 45
years!
So it turns out there's a keyboard shortcut that lets you jump directly to
the beep like this.
Phone: At the tone, please...
(Beep)
David Pogue: Unfortunately, the carriers didn't adopt the same keystroke,
so it's different by carrier, so it devolves upon you to learn the keystroke for
the person you're calling. I didn't say these were going to be perfect.
So most of you think of Google as something that lets you look up a web
page, but it is also a dictionary. Type the word "define" and the word you want
to know. You don't even have to click anything. There's the definition as you
type. It's also a complete FAA database. Type the name of the airline and the
flight. It shows you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal, how long until
it lands. You don't need an app. It's also unit and currency conversion. Again,
you don't have to click one of the results. Just type it into the box, and
there's your answer.
While we're talking about text -- When you want to highlight -- this is
just an example --
When you want to highlight a word, please don't waste your life dragging
across it with the mouse like a newbie. Double click the word. Watch "200" -- I
go double-click, it neatly selects just that word. Also, don't delete what
you've highlighted. You can just type over it. This is in every program. Also,
you can go double-click, drag, to highlight in one-word increments as you drag.
Much more precise. Again, don't bother deleting. Just type over it.
Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button and the
moment the camera actually snaps. It's extremely frustrating on any camera under
$1,000.
So, that's because the camera needs time to calculate the focus and
exposure, but if you pre-focus with a half-press, leave your finger down -- no
shutter lag! You get it every time. I've just turned your $50 camera into a
$1,000 camera with that trick.
And finally, it often happens that you're giving a talk, and for some
reason, the audience is looking at the slide instead of at you!
So when that happens -- this works in Keynote, PowerPoint, it works in
every program -- all you do is hit the letter B key, B for blackout, to black
out the slide, make everybody look at you, and then when you're ready to go on,
you hit B again, and if you're really on a roll, you can hit the W key for
"whiteout," and you white out the slide, and then you can hit W again to
un-blank it.
So I know I went super fast. If you missed anything, I'll be happy to send
you the list of these tips. In the meantime, congratulations. You all get your
California Technology License.
Have a great day.
