I've noticed something interesting about society and culture.

关于社会和文化，我注意到一些有趣的事情。

每件冒险的事情都需要一个许可证书，

Everything risky requires a license.

So, learning to drive, owning a gun, getting married.

像学车，买枪，结婚。

There's a certain --

（笑声）

(Laughter)

That's true in everything risky, except technology.

对于每件冒险的事情，都是如此，除了技术。

For some reason, there's no standard syllabus,

出于一些原因，没有标准的教学大纲，

there's no basic course.

没有基本的课程。

They just sort of give you your computer and then kick you out of the nest.

他们只是给你一台电脑

然后把你赶出鸟窝。

You're supposed to learn this stuff -- how?

你应该学会这些。怎样学？

Just by osmosis.

就像osmosis所说，没人会坐下来

Nobody ever sits down and tells you, "This is how it works."

告诉你，“这是怎样一回事”。

所以，今天我准备告诉你10件事情。

So today I'm going to tell you ten things

你认为每个人知道，但实际上他们不知道。

that you thought everybody knew, but it turns out they don't.

First of all, on the web, if you want to scroll down,

好的。第一，在网络上，当你面对网页的时候

你想要向下滚动（网页）。不要拿起鼠标

don't pick up the mouse and use the scroll bar.

接着下拉滚动条。那是可怕的时间浪费。

That's a terrible waste of time.

如果你的报酬按小时计算，那你可以那样做。

Do that only if you're paid by the hour.

而你应该点击空格键。

Instead, hit the space bar.

The space bar scrolls down one page.

空格键向下滚动一个页面。

Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again.

按住 Shift键（+空格键）向上滚动回来。

So, space bar to scroll down one page; works in every browser,

所以空格键，向下滚动一个页面。

在所有电脑的浏览器上，它都有效。

in every kind of computer.

同样，在网页上，当你在填写一个这样的表格，如你的地址，

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

我猜想，你知道按Tab键

to jump from box to box to box.

从一个框跳到另一个框。

But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state?

但是，面对下拉菜单--比如选择你的州，要怎么做?

Don't open the pop-up menu.

不要点开下拉菜单。那是可怕的卡路里消耗。

That's a terrible waste of calories.

Type the first letter of your state over and over and over.

（在键盘上）按下你所在州的第一字母，再按，再按。

So if you want Connecticut, go, C, C, C.

比如你想选择康涅狄格州（Connecticut），按下，C，C，C。

If you want Texas, go T, T, and you jump right to that thing

如果是德克萨斯州（Texas），按下，T，T，然后你成功了。

without even opening the pop-up menu.

不用点开下拉菜单。

还有在网络上，当字太小，

Also on the web, when the text is too small,

what you do is hold down the Control key and hit plus, plus, plus.

你可以按下Control键（Ctrl），然后敲”+“，”+“，”+“。

You make the text larger with each tap.

每次按键，字就会更大一些。

Works on every computer, every web browser,

在所有电脑的浏览器上，它都有效。

或者按下”−“，”−“，”−“，（字体）又变小些。

or minus, minus, to get smaller again.

如果你用苹果系统，相应地，（Ctrl）可能是Command键。

If you're on the Mac, it might be Command instead.

When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone,

当你在黑莓、安卓系统手机、iPhone上打字的时候，

don't bother switching layouts to the punctuation layout

别那么麻烦地切换到符号界面

to hit the period and then a space,

去输入句号，空格，然后试着让首字母大写。

then try to capitalize the next letter.

Just hit the space bar twice.

只要按两下空格键。

The phone puts the period, the space, and the capital for you.

手机就会自动为你添加句号，空格，和大写首字母。

Go space, space.

按下空格，空格，真是神奇。

It is totally amazing.

Also when it comes to cell phones, on all phones,

还有当说到电话，在所有手机上，

if you want to redial somebody that you've dialed before,

如果你想要重拨，给之前打过的某个人，

all you have to do is hit the call button,

所有你要做的就是，按拨打键，

and it puts the last phone number into the box for you,

接着手机会为你添加那个号码。

and at that point you can hit call again to actually dial it.

然这个时候你按拨打键，再次拨打。

No need to go to the recent calls list if you're trying to call somebody

你不需要进入通话记录，

所以，如果你在试着拨通某个人，

just hit the call button again.

只要再次按拨打键。

Something that drives me crazy:

接下来的事，让我疯狂。

When I call you and leave a message on your voice mail,

每当我呼叫你，接着在你的语音邮箱留下信息，

我听到你说，”留下信息“，

I hear you saying, "Leave a message,"

and then I get these 15 seconds of freaking instructions,

然后我会听到15秒吓人的提示，

like we haven't had answering machines for 45 years!

好像我们已经45年没用电话应答机啦！

(Laughter)

（笑声）

我不是愤怒。

I'm not bitter.

(Laughter)

So it turns out there's a keyboard shortcut

这里有一个键盘快捷键

that lets you jump directly to the beep like this.

让你直接得跳到”哔声“,像这样。

Phone: At the tone, please...

（电话应答机：听到声音，请—”哔声“）

(Beep)

David Pogue: Unfortunately, the carriers didn't adopt

（David Pogue）：不幸地是，运营商没有采用一样的快捷键。

the same keystroke, so it's different by carrier,

所以，运营商不一样，（快捷键）也不一样。

so it devolves upon you to learn the keystroke

你需要去了解所拨打号码的

for the person you're calling.

运营商特定的快捷键。

我没说这个技巧是完美的。

I didn't say these were going to be perfect.

好吧，你们中的多数认为Google，

So most of you think of Google

as something that lets you look up a web page,

是为你寻找一个网页。不过它也是一个字典。

but it is also a dictionary.

输入关键词”define“，然后是你要查询的单词。

Type the word "define" and the word you want to know.

You don't even have to click anything.

你甚至不需要点击什么。

There's the definition as you type.

你的词打好了定义就会出来。

It's also a complete FAA database.

它也是一个完整的FAA（美国联邦航空管理局）数据库。

Type the name of the airline and the flight.

输入航线和航班的名字。

It shows you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal,

你会告诉你航班去向，登机口，航站楼，

how long until it lands.

飞行时长。你不需要为此安装一个应用程式。

You don't need an app.

它也是一个单位、货币转化器。

It's also unit and currency conversion.

Again, you don't have to click one of the results.

再次（说明），你不需要点击结果中的一个。

Just type it into the box, and there's your answer.

只要输入到（搜索）框，那就是你所要找的。

While we're talking about text --

而我们讨论到文本，

When you want to highlight --

当你想要高亮显示

这只是一个例子。（笑声）

this is just an example --

(Laughter)

When you want to highlight a word,

当你想要高亮显示一个单词

please don't waste your life dragging across it

请不要浪费你的生命，去用鼠标选择它

with the mouse like a newbie.

像菜鸟一样。

Double click the word.

（可以）双击单词。看着”200“，我双击。

Watch "200" -- I go double-click,

it neatly selects just that word.

它就近选择那个单词。

Also, don't delete what you've highlighted.

还有，不要删除你所高亮显示的。

You can just type over it.

你可以直接输入。任何程序里都可行（如浏览器）。

This is in every program.

Also, you can go double-click, drag,

还有，你能双击，拖曳

to highlight in one-word increments as you drag.

高亮显示

Much more precise.

更加的精确。再一次，不要劳神去删除。

Again, don't bother deleting.

Just type over it.

直接输入即可。（笑声）

(Laughter)

Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button

快门延迟是你按下快门键

and the moment the camera actually snaps.

和相机实际抓拍瞬间相隔的时间差。

It's extremely frustrating on any camera under $1,000.

在任何低于1000美元的相机上，都有这个令人烦恼的问题。

(Camera click)

（相机快门声）

(Laughter)

（笑声）

所以那是因为相机需要时间

So, that's because the camera needs time to calculate the focus and exposure,

来计算焦点和光圈。

but if you pre-focus with a half-press,

但是如果你先按下一半（快门）来预聚焦（在小朋友身上），

leave your finger down --

然后按下你的手指，没有快门延迟！

no shutter lag!

You get it every time.

每一次，你都能成功。

I've just turned your $50 camera into a $1,000 camera with that trick.

用那个技巧，我把你50美元的相机

变成1000美元的相机。

And finally, it often happens that you're giving a talk,

最后，你在发表演说，但常常

and for some reason, the audience is looking at the slide

出于一些原因，观众在看幻灯片。

instead of at you!

而不是你！（笑声）

(Laughter)

So when that happens -- this works in Keynote, PowerPoint,

所以，当出现这样的情况时，比如在Keynote, PowerPoint，

it works in every program -- all you do is hit the letter B key,

这个方法都有效的，你所要做的就是按下字母B键，

B for blackout, to black out the slide, make everybody look at you,

黑掉幻灯片。黑掉它。

这让每个人都关注你。然后当你准备继续，

and then when you're ready to go on, you hit B again,

你再按下B键，接着如果你真很顺利的话，

and if you're really on a roll, you can hit the W key for "whiteout,"

你可以按W键，让屏幕全白。

and you white out the slide,

你这样子做了，然后你可以再按下W键，

and then you can hit W again to un-blank it.

恢复回来。

So I know I went super fast.

我知道我讲得非常快。如果你错过了什么，

If you missed anything, I'll be happy to send you the list of these tips.

我会很乐意发给你这些建议。

In the meantime, congratulations.

与此同时，祝贺大家。

You all get your California Technology License.

你们得到加州技术证书。

Have a great day.

祝有美好的一天。

（掌声）

(Applause)
