　　篇章：你被社交媒体绑架了吗?

　　This is the way the world ends: not with a bang but a click. Yes, we re serious.

　　没有砰的一声而只是取关的轻轻一点，你的世界就崩溃了。对的，我们没开玩笑。

　　Do you get easily depressed with the amazing posts from people on your Facebook friend list? Do those food pictures, holiday check-ins, and relationship updates make you want to delete your account and live on a mountain somewhere far, far away? Well, this video is for you.

　　你是不是在看到Facebook好友华丽的照片或状态时就会感到沮丧呢?他们乐此不疲地晒着美食和度假的诱人照片、秀着恩爱，看到这些你是否会有一种冲动想把他拉黑，恨不得逃离到僻远但清净的小山村?如果你的答案是肯定的，那么看看这个视频吧!

　　Tired of leading his ordinary life, this man decides that if he can t live as fabulously as his friends he might as well just project it. He begins by writing sushi with my girl tonight!!! 3 as his status while he and said girl sitting on opposite ends of the same sofa, not even talking. Did that first like make him feel a tad better about his life? Probably.

　　视频中这个男人厌倦了自己平淡如水的生活，于是他有了一个想法：虽然自己的生活不能像好友那样精彩，但是他可以让自己的Facebook主页上看起来很精彩啊!于是他发了这样一条状态：今晚和女朋友一起吃寿司。而实际情况却是，他和女朋友坐在同一个沙发的两端，彼此之间都不说话。那么这条状态下的第一个赞真的能让他对自己的生活感觉好点吗?也许吧。

　　And thus continues this happy-life projection. As the likes increase, so does his awareness of the sorry reality of his life. And tired of living a lie, just this once he tries to let people know the truth.

　　他继续着这种虚假的美好生活。随着点赞数量增加，他也越来越意识到自己的现实生活多么糟糕。终于厌倦了在Facebook上晒虚假的美好，最后他决定让人们知道他真正的生活状态。

　　So what do we people do when you tell them your life sucks ? Have a look at the video above and take a second to think about your life. Are you really happy? And is your happiness truly yours?

　　所以，当你告诉别人我的生活糟透了的时候，人们会有什么反应呢?看看上面的视频，然后思考一下你的生活吧。你真的很开心吗?你那美好的生活真的是你真实的生活写照吗?
