你是否频繁的使用手机？或者手机不离手？大连信雅达翻译公司总结一下手机上瘾有什么行为。
You’re walking around and a thought occurs: “I should check my phone.” The phone comes out of your pocket. You type a message. Then your eyes remain glued to the screen, even when you walk across the street.
当你正在走路的时候，一个念头跳出来：“我应该看一下手机。”你从口袋里把它拿出来。输入一条短信。然后，你一直在看手机，甚至在过马路的时候也不放下。
We all do this kind of distracted walking, or “twalking.” (Yes, this term is really a thing.)
我们都会做这种走路不专心的事情，英文里因此出现了一个词“twalking”(由英文“发短信”和“走路”两个词结合而成。——译注)。(是的，真的有这么个说法。)
So why do we do it? I talked to neuroscientists and psychologists about our conduct. All agreed that texting while walking might be a form of addictive behavior.
那么，我们为什么要这样做呢?我为此咨询了神经学家和心理学家。所有人都认为，边走路边看手机可能是一种嗜瘾行为。
But this column isn’t about pointing fingers. Rather, now is a good time to reflect on why we are so glued to our phones, what we know about the risks and how we can take control of our personal technology rather than let it control us.
但是，本文不是要指责谁。相反，现在是反思我们为何玩手机上瘾、了解相关风险、如何控制个人科技产品而不是被它所控制的好时机。
People are, by nature, information-seeking creatures. When we regularly check our phones, we are snacking on information from devices that offer an all-you-can-eat buffet of information.
人在本性上就是一种寻求信息的生物。定期查看手机的行为，就像是从那些提供信息自助餐的设备上获取信息，而且“管饱”。
So we get stuck in cycles. At what point is this considered addiction? 因此，我们陷入了无穷无尽的循环中。那什么时候算是上瘾了?
when people check their devices just to enhance their mood, this could be a sign of a developing problem.
当人们只是为了改善情绪而查看电子设备，这可能就是上瘾行为的迹象。
Another signal of addictive behavior is becoming preoccupied with smartphone use when you should be doing something else. An even clearer indicator is what happens when the phone is taken away.
上瘾行为的另一个信号是，当你应该干其他事时，却沉迷于使用智能手机。一个更清晰的指标是当手机被拿走时会发生什么。
“Let’s say you go out to the mountains and you don’t get reception, so you can’t use a smartphone”,“Do you feel a sense of relief? Or do you feel, wow, I want to get out of these mountains — I want to use the smartphone. If you feel the latter, that’s toward the addictive direction.”
“比方说你去了山里，信号接收不了，所以你无法使用智能手机”，“你有一种解脱的感觉吗?或者你感到，呀，我想离开这些山——我想用智能手机。如果你的感觉是后者，那就是上瘾的趋势。”
