剑桥学霸读书分享- 十七件性价比好物让生活更方便

摘要：Like this method of eating an apple is fine, but eventually it's like you, you end up with like juice running down all your arm an

Alright, to purchase number one is one of these Apple choppers.

好的，第一件购入物品是这种苹果切割器。

So, you know how annoying it is to eat an apple?

你知道吃苹果有多烦人吗？

Normally, you have to take the apple, you bite into it.

通常你得拿起苹果，然后咬下去。

Like this method of eating an apple is fine, but eventually it's like you, you end up with like juice running down all your arm and it gets all sticky.

这种吃苹果的方法还行，但最后，你会弄得果汁流得满胳膊都是，黏糊糊的。

A better way of doing it is that you grab one of these, and then you take your apple, and what you do with it is you grab the apple chopper, and now with your Apple chopper, you like.

一个更好的方法是，你拿起一个这个，然后拿出你的苹果，你要做的是拿起苹果切割器，然后用你的苹果切割器，像这样。

And now we have a perfectly chopped apple that we can then chuck into a plate.

现在我们就有了一个切得完美的苹果，可以把它扔进盘子里。

And it becomes so much easier.

这样就方便多了。

In sets.

很完整。

To eat a little plate of chopped apple is a little snack and the even better thing about this is that you can then grab something like almond butter and you can ... and you can spoon the almond butter into your apple plate.

吃一小盘切好的苹果当点心，更棒的是，你还可以拿点像杏仁酱之类的东西，然后你可以……然后你可以用勺子把杏仁酱舀到你的苹果盘子里。

And now you have a very nice little snack: chopped apples with almond butter.

现在你就得到了一份非常不错的小点心：切块苹果配杏仁酱。

And since using the apple chopper, my apple consumption has increased about ten x.

自从用了苹果切割器，我的苹果食用量大约增加了十倍。

And so it's fair to say that that is a purchase that has drastically improved my life.

所以可以说，这次购买极大地改善了我的生活。

Alright, so this is a magnetic mag-safe travel tripod for an iPhone.

好的，这是一个用于 iPhone 的磁吸式 MagSafe 旅行三脚架。

This is by the brand Peak Design.

这是 Peak Design 这个牌子的。

Peak design is great, but you can definitely get this sort of thing cheaper if you want some kind of third party knock off.

Peak Design 很棒，但如果你想要第三方仿制品的话，肯定能买到更便宜的同类产品。

And the idea is that it's a magnetic thing.

它的原理就是，它是个磁吸的东西。

It's very lightweight, easy enough to carry sticks to your phone and you can turn it into a little tripod, which is super, super handy if you want to take a photo of yourself or you and your wife or you and a group of friends and you don't want to deal with the awkwardness of trying to ask someone to like take the photo and you don't want to do the whole like Gen Z type kind of selfie.

它非常轻便，方便携带，能吸附在手机上，可以变成一个小三脚架，这在你想要自拍，或者给你和你妻子，或者你和一群朋友拍照时超级超级方便，而且你不用尴尬地去请别人帮忙拍照，也不想像 Z 世代那样自拍。

It's also really good if you happen to be taking video calls and stuff because you can just literally stick the phone.

如果你正好要进行视频通话之类的，它也非常好用，因为你真的可以直接把手机吸上去。

Take a video call with your headphones in.

戴上耳机进行视频通话。

And that's much nicer than trying to hold a phone up or like trying to prop it against a mug or anything like that.

这比试着举着手机，或者想把它靠在杯子上之类的要好得多。

Alright, so we're gonna head to the bathroom for the next one.

好了，下一个我们要去洗手间看看。

Already, so this is ...

好了，那么这个是……

A fantastic portable B day.

一个超棒的便携式洁身器。

This is one of those things.

就是这种东西。

You fill it up with water, and then you then put the lid on.

你把它装满水，然后盖上盖子。

And what you can do is that this then squirts.

然后你能做的就是，这个东西会喷水。

And it can then squat into wherever you would like this to quote.

然后它可以喷到任何你想让它喷的地方。

And these things are actually so good.

而且这些东西真的非常好用。

I have one in my backpack at all times.

我的背包里一直都放着一个。

We have one in literally every bathroom in the house.

我们家几乎每个卫生间都有一个。

It's really standard in, for example, Muslim countries: they have these built into the walls; in France, they have B days in a lot of different bathrooms.

这在比如穆斯林国家是很普遍的，他们会把这个装在墙里；在法国也是，很多不同的卫生间里都有洁身器。

But for some reason, in most western countries, they don't think to kind of put water to kind of clean the business end of stuff when we go to the bathroom.

但不知为何，在大多数西方国家，当我们上厕所的时候，他们好像没想到用点水来清洁“关键部位”。

Uh, the default is that you just wipe repeatedly with toilet paper, which I always find is a little bit grim.

呃，默认的做法就是用卫生纸反复擦，我总觉得这有点难受。

And the reason I carry one of these in my backpack as well is that if I'm in a coworking space, for example, and I have to use the bathroom if I didn't have one of these, I'd be feeling kind of grim all day and feel like I need to take a shower.

我背包里也带一个的原因是，比如我在共享办公空间，需要上厕所，如果没有这个，我一整天都会觉得有点难受，感觉需要洗个澡。

But with one of these, I can feel very good and very clean and very nice and fresh and productive for the rest of the day.

但有了这个，我一整天都能感觉很好、很干净、很舒服、很清爽、很有活力。

Alright, next up, we have multi pronged USB-C cables, which are in practically every room in the house.

好的，接下来是多头 USB-C 数据线，家里几乎每个房间都有。

These are absolutely amazing.

这些简直太棒了。

You plug one end of it to a, USB-C, kind of plug type thing, and it gives you two USB connections for the price one.

你把一端插到 USB-C 类型的插头上，它就能给你提供两个 USB 接口，只占用一个插头。

I'm a USB-C maximalist.

我是个 USB-C 的忠实拥护者。

Pretty much every device I have charges with USB-C, but even if you have one of these plugs that has like multiple USb-C inputs, it's still kind of annoying dealing with like loads and loads of cables.

几乎我所有的设备都是用 USB-C 充电的，但即使你有一个带多个 USB-C 接口的插头，处理一大堆线缆还是很烦人。

And so something like this gives you two cables for the price of one.

所以像这样的东西能让你用一根线实现两根线的效果。

And these are absolutely amazing.

这些真的太棒了。

And to attach to the USB-C cables, I also have multiple copies of this Anker Magnetic flip-standing iPhone battery pack.

为了连接 USB-C 电缆，我还准备了多份 Anker 磁性翻盖式 iPhone 电池组。

And so this magnetically attaches to your iphone and then charges your iphone.

这个可以磁吸附在你的 iPhone 上，然后给 iPhone 充电。

And it has this little flip kickstand type thing.

它还有一个小的翻盖支架式设计。

So if you want, you can use it as a mini stand thing if you're taking a Zoom call or something like that.

所以如果你愿意，可以把它当作一个迷你支架用，比如开 Zoom 会议什么的。

And my wife and I have various different types of other battery pack chargers lying around the house because as we all know, phone batteries kind of suck these days.

我和我妻子家里还有各种其他类型的充电宝，因为大家都知道，现在的手机电池续航有点糟糕。

This one is from Belkin.

这个是贝尔金（Belkin）的。

This is kind of nice because it actually has a USB-C, and a Lightning cable built in.

这个挺好的，因为它内置了一根 USB-C 线和一根 Lightning 线。

So USB-C charges most phones and some people still have an old iPhone, so the lightning cable is super handy for that.

USB-C 能给大多数手机充电，而有些人还在用旧款 iPhone。所以 Lightning 线对他们来说就超级方便。

This is the Nomad key: USB-C cable type thing.

这是 Nomad 的钥匙扣：USB-C 数据线类型的东西。

So the idea is that basically a key chain, but it has this kind of magnetically attaching USB-C cable on it.

它的设计基本上是个钥匙链，但上面带有一根磁吸附的 USB-C 线。

And so if you use one of these battery packs that don't have macsafe, you can just plug this in to one end.

所以如果你用的是不带 MagSafe 的充电宝，你可以把这个插到一端。

You can plug your phone into the other end.

把你的手机插到另一端。

And now this charges nicely and seamlessly.

现在就可以很方便无缝地充电了。

If, for example, you or a friend have forgotten to bring a USB-C cable with you.

比如，你或者朋友忘了带 USB-C 线的时候。

And if you're enjoying this video so far, I would love to know what is one or two cheap purchases that have improved your life.

如果你喜欢目前为止的视频内容，我很想知道有哪些一两件便宜的购入品改善了你的生活。

And I love it if you can leave it in a comment down below and we can have a look at that list.

如果你能把它留在下方的评论里，我会很高兴，我们可以看看那个清单。

And I would love to get some more recommendations for cheap stuff that I can add to my life.

我很希望能得到更多便宜好物的推荐，让我的生活更美好。

Alright, next up, we have some real plants which we get from a local shop here in Hong Kong for somewhere between five and ten USD per plant.

好的，接下来是一些真的植物，我们是从中国香港本地的一家店买的，每棵大约 5 到 10 美元。

And so we have these like plants littered all around the house.

所以我们家里到处都摆放着这些植物。

And actually in preparation for filming this video, I realized I should just get way more of these.

实际上，在准备拍这个视频的时候，我意识到我应该多买些这些东西。

And so I went to the shop, picked up a few of these plants.

于是我就去了商店买了这几盆植物。

These were all under ten USD and we are now going to add these into my little studio space to make it a little bit more vibe.

这些都不到十美元，现在我们准备把它们加到我的小工作室里，让这里更有氛围一点。

So we have this, which I believe is a devil's ivy or something like that.

我们有这个，我觉得这好像是绿萝之类的。

And actually, we can stick this over here.

其实，我们可以把它放在这边。

Maybe up there.

也许放上面。

The red is a little bit jarring.

这个红色有点太扎眼了。

But I don't have space in my book.

但我的书没地方放了。

Um, where do we want to put this?

呃，我们想把这个放哪儿呢？

Feel like I want it to be my not quite fit on this bookshelf.

感觉我想把它放在我的，这个书架好像不太放得下。

Okay, let's try.

好吧，试试看。

Let's put the book back.

我们把书放回去。

Hashtag product placement.

产品植入。

Maybe this one.

也许这个可以。

Oh, maybe this can actually replace this Ikea fake plant that we've got over here.

哦，或许这个其实可以替换掉我们放在这儿的宜家假植物。

Oh no.

哦，不。

Another product placement issue.

又一个产品植入问题。

How does that look?

这样看起来怎么样？

That's quite cute.

还挺可爱的。

Where is the water going?

水流到哪儿去了？

Over going in the bag and go for that?

流进袋子里了，就这样？

Oh, shit, it's going on the rug.

哦，流到地毯上了。

Oh, no.

哦，不。

This one can go over here, for example.

比如，这个可以放这边。

Oh, that's quite cute.

哦，这个还挺可爱的。

Ya, why not?

嗯，为什么不呢？

This can go up here.

这个可以放上面。

And we have one of these snake plants.

我们还有一个虎尾兰。

I have to take this to the kitchen, whoopsy.

我得把这个拿到厨房去，哎哟。

And then maybe this snake plant can go over here.

然后或许这个虎尾兰可以放这儿。

Now, I've been a fan of fake plants in the studio for quite a while, but my wife has real plants in her YouTube studio.

我喜欢在工作室里放假植物有段时间了，但我妻子在她的油管工作室里放的是真植物。

And whenever I go in there, it just smells so nice and fresh.

每次我进去的时候，就觉得闻起来特别舒服清新。

And whenever I come into mine, it's like, you know, the rug is off gassing.

而每次我回到我的工作室，就感觉，你懂的，地毯在散发气味。

It smells kind of funky.

闻起来有点怪怪的。

And so I'm hoping that by installing real plants in my studio as well, it'll become more of a vibrant, creative environment to work in.

所以我希望通过在我的工作室里也布置上真植物，能让这里变成一个更有活力、更具创造性的工作环境

And speaking of cheap purchases, another thing I'm very bullish on is spending a little bit of money on digital privacy, which is why I'm delighted to have DeleteMe sponsoring this video.

说到便宜货，另一件我很看好的事，就是花一点钱在数字隐私上，这也是为什么我很高兴有 DeleteMe 赞助本期视频。

Now, as someone who creates content online, I have become increasingly concerned about how much of my personal information is available to the public and this sort of thing can create genuine risks, not just if you're a content creator, but if you are anyone in today's digital world.

作为一个在网上创作内容的人，我越来越担心自己有多少个人信息被公之于众，这种事会带来切实的风险，不仅仅是内容创作者对于当今数字世界里的任何人都是如此。

And something many people don't realize is how data brokers operate in the background of our digital lives.

还有很多人没有意识到的是，数据掮客是如何在我们数字生活的后台运作的。

These companies collect information from various public sources and they create profiles that can often include personal details like your contact information, address history, and even your family connections; then these data brokers sell this data to businesses and individuals.

这些公司从各种公开来源收集信息，建立档案，其中通常包含个人详细信息，比如你的联系方式、住址历史，甚至你的家庭关系，然后这些数据掮客把这些数据卖给企业和个人。

That's why we are partnering with DeleteMe.

这就是我们与 DeleteMe 合作的原因。

DeleteMe is a hands free subscription service that removes your personal information from hundreds of data broker websites.

DeleteMe 是一项自动操作的订阅服务，能从数百个数据掮客网站上移除你的个人信息。

The process is pretty straightforward.

过程非常简单直接。

You submit your information to DeleteMe and then the privacy experts find where your data is being sold online and then they handle the removal process for you.

你把你的信息提交给 DeleteMe，然后隐私专家会查找你的数据在网上哪里被出售，接着他们会为你处理移除过程。

And then within about seven days, you'll get your first privacy report showing exactly what they found and removed.

然后在大约七天内，你会收到第一份隐私报告，详细说明他们找到并移除了哪些信息。

Now, what I love about DeleteMe is their comprehensive approach.

我喜欢 DeleteMe 的一点是他们全面的方法。

They don't just remove your information once. They continuously monitor these sites and repeat the removal process as needed.

他们并非只移除一次你的信息。他们会持续监控这些网站，并在需要时重复移除过程。

They show you exactly which sites had your data and what specific information was found from your address and phone number to details about your relatives and your property.

他们会准确地告诉你哪些网站有你的数据，以及发现了哪些具体信息，从你的地址、电话号码到关于你亲属和财产的详细信息。

They also have a very cool DeleteMe dashboard that shows you how many hours it would take to do all of these different opt-outs manually.

他们还有一个很酷的 DeleteMe 控制面板，会显示如果手动完成所有这些不同的退出请求需要多少小时。

And so with this dashboard, you can see that you save literally dozens of hours by using DeleteMe rather than trying to do the process manually yourself.

所以通过这个控制面板，你可以看到使用 DeleteMe 而不是尝试自己手动操作，可以真正节省几十个小时。

Very excitingly, DeleteMe is offering all of our lovely viewers twenty percent off all of their consumer plans.

非常令人激动的是 DeleteMe 为我们所有可爱的观众提供了所有消费者套餐八折的优惠。

When you go to joindeleteme.com/Ali20 and use the promo code Ali20 at checkout.

当你访问 joindeleteme.com/Ali20 并在结账时使用优惠码 Ali 20。

That's joindeleteme.com/Ali20 and using the code Ali twenty at checkout.

就是 joindeleteme.com/Ali20 并在结账时使用代码 Ali20。

Now obviouslyDeleteMe won't make you completely anonymous online or remove every trace of you from the internet.

当然 DeleteMe 不会让你在网上完全匿名，也不会移除你在互联网上的所有痕迹。

No service can realistically do that, but they will significantly reduce your personal information on data broker sites where it's most commonly bought and sold.

没有哪个服务能真正做到这一点，但他们会显著减少你在数据掮客网站上的个人信息，而这些网站是信息最常被买卖的地方。

So, thank you so much to DeleteMe for sponsoring this video, and let's get back to it.

所以，非常感谢 DeleteMe 赞助本期视频，让我们继续吧。

Alrighty, so these are a kind of funky collaboration between Harry Potter and Moleskine.

好了，这些是哈利波特和 Moleskine 的一种有点奇特的联名款。

And they have these really cool notebooks, which I have the whole set of.

他们推出了这些非常酷的笔记本，我有一整套。

These are the three notebooks I use mostly on a daily basis.

这是我日常最主要使用的三本笔记本。

So use the Lumos one for like business and life for journaling, just general stuff.

我用 Lumos 这本记录像商业和生活相关的日志，就是些一般的事情。

I use the Expecto Patronum one for like product stuff that we're building, like our software and our courses.

我用 Expecto Patronum 这本记录像，我们正在开发的产品相关的东西，比如我们的软件和课程。

And I use the Protego Maxima one to plan Youtube videos.

我用 Protego Maxima 这本规划油管视频。

There's also this Accio 2025 planner, which admittedly, I don't use very much.

还有这个 Accio 2025 计划本，坦白说，我不怎么常用。

And then there's also this Wingardium Leviosa type notebook that I've completely filled because I was just using it for like random Youtube videos and sketches and things like that.

然后还有这个 Wingardium Leviosa 类型的笔记本，我已经完全写满了，因为我之前就用它来记一些油管视频的随机想法、草图之类的东西。

Now, obviously, you don't need Harry Potter specific edition notebooks to be able to do stuff that notebooks help you with.

当然，你不需要哈利波特特别版的笔记本，也能完成笔记本能帮你做的事情。

But I find that if a notebook is nice to use.

但我发现，如果一个笔记本用起来很舒服……

It just makes me way more likely to actually use it.

就会让我更有可能去实际使用它。

And I've tried various different notebooks over the years.

这些年来，我也尝试过各种不同的笔记本。

Another favorite of mine is the Leuchtturm 1917 dot grid notebook series.

我另一个心头好是灯塔 1917 的点阵笔记本系列。

That's really good.

那个真的很好用。

I use that for several years before this Harry Potter collab came out.

在哈利波特联名款出来之前，我用了好几年。

And there's all sorts of evidence that, like, you know, for example, for physical journaling, writing things down with pen and paper improves the connection between like the mind and the words that are coming out and improves creativity and things like that compared to simply typing things out.

而且有各种证据表明，比如，用纸笔进行手写记录，能增进思维与文字输出的联系，并提升创造力之类的，相比单纯打字效果更好。

Alright, this is a little cheap bin that I got off of Amazon and I have this in my studio and we have a similar one in the bedroom.

好的，这是一个我在亚马逊上买的便宜小垃圾桶，我工作室里放了一个，卧室里也有一个类似的。

It's currently got some comb butchers and some almond butter in it lol.

目前里面放着一些康普茶和一些杏仁酱，哈哈。

But the reason this is a purchase that has improved my life is because like there's always random trash that builds up.

但这件物品之所以能提升我的生活品质，是因为总会有各种零碎垃圾产生。

Like, let's say you have a box of tissues.

比如，假设你有一盒纸巾。

By the way, having a box of tissues in every room and on every desk is also really helpful because you don't want to actually, you know, you wanna, you know, if you need to ... this sort of thing.

顺便说一句，在每个房间、每张桌子上都放一盒纸巾也很有用，因为你肯定不想……你知道的，如果你需要的话，比如这种时候。

But let's say you do that.

但假设你用了纸巾。

Like where does this go?

那用过的纸巾扔哪里呢？

If you're like most people and you don't have a bin in your room, it's like, ah, okay.

如果你和大多数人一样，房间里没有垃圾桶，那就会，啊，好吧。

And then it sort of piles up on the desk or like somewhere.

然后它就会堆在桌子上或者其他什么地方。

And then all in one go, the, the thing starts to get really, really messy.

接着一下子，那地方就开始变得非常非常乱。

But if, for example, you have a bin.

但是，比如说，如果你有一个垃圾桶。

In every single room, it means you can just immediately as soon as you generate any trash from opening a parcel or like using a tissue or anything, it just goes straight in the bin.

在每一个房间里，就意味着你一产生任何垃圾，无论是拆包裹、用纸巾还是别的，都可以立刻直接扔进垃圾桶。

And so, for example, this is a couple's desk set up in the living room.

所以，比如说，这是客厅里的情侣书桌布置。

And we have a box of tissues right here.

我们这儿就放了一盒纸巾。

And we also have one of these mini bins.

我们还有一个这种迷你垃圾桶。

And this is also like, you know, one of these small ass tiny desktop bins.

这个也是，你知道，就是这种超小型的桌面垃圾桶。

I think we either got it from Amazon or Taobao for like less than ten dollars.

我记得我们是亚马逊或者淘宝上买的，好像不到十美元。

And again, it's just just super helpful to have a place to chuck stuff.

再说一次，有个地方扔东西真的超级方便。

All right, so this is a paper to do list and card system.

好的，这是一个纸质待办事项卡片系统。

Now, there is a wonderful company called Augmonk that I absolutely love.

现在，有一家很棒的公司叫 Augmonk，我超爱他们。

That makes something similar to this.

他们做类似这样的东西。

I mean, they may, I think they made the original one.

我的意思是，他们可能，我觉得他们是原创者。

Ah, but that's very expensive.

啊，但那个非常贵。

It's not a cheap product, and I love it.

不是便宜的产品，但我很喜欢。

It's amazing.

它很棒。

It's like artisanally crafted.

像是手工精心打造的。

Very luxury, but it's like a hundred dollars.

非常高端，但要差不多一百美元。

And on Amazon, you can now find cheap knocks of the same kind of thing for like ten dollars.

而现在在亚马逊上，你可以找到同类东西的便宜仿制品，大概十美元。

And so this is a cheap purchase that you can use to improve your life.

所以这是一个你可以用来提升生活品质的便宜物件。

Um, the idea is that you have these cards, which are sort of like paper to do list type things.

嗯，它的理念是，你有这些卡片，有点像纸质待办事项清单之类的东西。

You can write whatever you want.

你想写什么都可以。

And then you stick it in this little thing.

然后你把它插在这个小架子上。

And so at the start of the day, for example, you make your to do list with whatever's written on there.

这样每天开始时，比如说，你就可以把写好的待办事项列出来。

So for example, you can write your to Dos for the day or whatever.

比如，你可以写下今天的待办事项之类的。

This is from March earlier.

这是三月初的。

And then you can stick them on here.

然后你可以把它们放在这上面。

And then you see them in front of you all day.

这样你一整天都能看到它们。

And then whenever you're done with something, you can, obviously, strike it off the to do list.

然后当你完成某件事时，你显然可以从待办事项清单上划掉它。

It goes back up on the thing and just kind of a nice way to put your to do list in front of you.

它就回到架子上了，这是一种把待办事项放在眼前的好方法。

Keeping in front of mine.

让它时刻提醒你。

Alrighty, so this is three M transport surgical tape.

好的，这是 3M Transpore 医用胶带。

And the idea behind this is that I use it most nights.

它的用途是，我大多数晚上都用它。

To tape my mouth shut.

来把我的嘴巴贴上。

This is the thing I first did back in 2021 because apparently there's good evidence that If you tape your mouth shut while you're asleep, it like encourages you to breathe through your nose.

这是我 2021 年开始做的事情，因为据说有充分证据表明，如果你睡觉时把嘴巴贴上，它会促使你用鼻子呼吸。

And I am a chronic mouth breather.

而我是一个习惯性用嘴呼吸的人。

And so since doing this somewhat regularly, I've actually begun to breathe more through my nose.

所以自从比较规律地这样做之后，我已经开始更多地用鼻子呼吸了。

And apparently there's all sorts of evidence that says, why breathing for your nose is way better than breathing through your mouth.

而且据说有各种证据说明，为什么用鼻子呼吸比用嘴呼吸要好得多。

And there is a book called Breath, I think, by James Nestor, that kind of exposes on this like massively.

有一本书叫《呼吸》，好像是詹姆斯·内斯特（James Nestor）写的，对这个问题进行了大量的阐述。

But yeah, really super cheap, super easy way to hack your sleep and improve things a little bit, apparently.

但是，是的，这是一种非常便宜、非常简单的方法，据说可以改善你的睡眠，让事情变得更好一点。

All right.

好的。

This is a set of blue light blocking glasses.

这是一副防蓝光眼镜。

You can get these very cheaply in a lot of places online.

你在网上很多地方都能很便宜地买到。

And the evidence for them is slightly dubious in terms of scientific studies.

从科学研究的角度来看，它们的证据稍微有些不足。

But I know a lot of people anecdotally who've got a lot of value from blue, blue light blocking glasses is a sort of like orange tinted, which means that they literally block all blue light, especially at night.

但我认识很多人，根据他们的个人经验，从防蓝光眼镜中获益良多，那种橙色镜片的，意味着它们能阻挡所有蓝光，尤其是在晚上。

And so when it hits around nine p M, me and my wife will put on our blue light blocking glasses.

所以到了晚上九点左右，我和我妻子就会戴上我们的防蓝光眼镜。

And even if it does nothing else, it serves as a bit of a placebo to be like, okay, we're seriously, you know, we're trying to optimize sleep.

即使它没有其他作用，也能起到一点安慰剂效应，让人觉得，好吧，我们在认真地，你知道，我们在努力优化睡眠。

We're trying to get ready for bed.

我们在准备睡觉。

But I personally think it does.

但我个人认为它确实有用。

It means if I'm using a screen or something, I can't see much of the blue light.

这意味着如果我在用屏幕之类的，我不会看到太多蓝光。

And in theory, these improve your sleep at night time.

理论上，这些眼镜能在夜间改善你的睡眠。

All right. This is the most basic Kindle that Amazon sells.

好的。这是亚马逊在售的最基础款的 Kindle。

And it's in my list of cheap purchases because, and it's probably the most expensive thing on here.

它在我推荐的廉价好物清单里，因为它，嗯，它可能是这份清单里最贵的东西了。

But you can get the basic ass Kindles super, super cheap these days.

但现在基础款 Kindle 可以买到非常非常便宜的价格。

If the fifty dollars is still too expensive, you can get one of these second hand and Kindle is one of the tech products that has most drastically changed my life.

如果 50 美元还是太贵，你可以买个二手的，而 Kindle 是最彻底改变我生活的科技产品之一。

I've been reading every day on a Kindle since about 2008, so it's been about 17 years.

从大概 2008 年起，我就每天用 Kindle 阅读，所以已经 17 年了。

And thanks to the Kindle, I've managed to read like hundreds of more books than I would have done otherwise if I had to carry physical paperbacks around.

多亏了 Kindle，比起需要随身携带实体平装书，我已经多读了大概几百本书。

And so this is the thing that I always have on my bedside table.

所以这是我一直放在床头柜上的东西。

And I use it to read before bed, which is a nice way to wind down.

我用它在睡前阅读，这是个放松的好方法。

All right. This is a set of conversation cards.

好的。这是一套对话卡牌。

This is the confessions game, which is created by the School of Life.

这是“忏悔游戏”，由“人生学校”出品。

And the idea is that it is a series of cards in different categories.

它的玩法就是，这是一系列不同类别的卡牌。

You've got career.

有关于职业的。

You've got family.

有关于家庭的。

You've got relationships.

有关于人际关系的。

You've got money.

有关于金钱的。

And you've got sex, which is optional.

还有关于性的，这是可选的。

You can play with or without these, depending on how you feel.

你可以选择包含或不包含这些卡牌来玩，取决于你的感觉。

And there's a little dice here that you roll.

这里还有一个小骰子让你掷。

So whichever category comes up, the idea is that, you know, you're playing this game in a group of friends and you turn over the card.

玩法就是，掷到哪个类别，你和一群朋友一起玩这个游戏，然后翻开卡牌。

And it asks like a deep, meaningful question, Like, you know, what do you wish you could ideally tell your father?

它会问一些深刻、有意义的问题，比如，你最想对你父亲说什么？
