Every day we throw away millions of electronic devices, because they get old and become worn-out. But usually it's only one of the components that causes the problem. The rest of the device works fine but is needlessly thrown away, simply because electronic devices are not designed to last. This makes electronic waste one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world, and our phone is one of the biggest causes.
每天我們丟掉數百萬件電子設備，因為它們過時且變得破舊不堪。但通常其中只有一個造成問題的零件。裝置的其余部份運作正常，但是被不必要地丟棄掉，僅僅因為電子設備并非設計要持久耐用。這讓電子廢物成了世界上最快速成長的廢物流之一，我們的電話是其中最大的起因之一。
So this is a new kind of phone. It's made of blocks, detachable blocks. They're all connected to the base, and the base connects everything together. Electrical signals are transferred through the pins, and two small screws lock everything in place.
所以這是一種新型手機。是用積木做的，可拆卸的積木。它們全都接到基底上，基底將一切連結在一起。電子訊號透過插腳傳送，兩個小螺絲將一切鎖在定位。
So if, for instance, your phone is getting a little slow, you can just upgrade the block that affects the speed. Or if something breaks, you can easily replace it with a new one, or update it with the latest version.
所以如果，舉例來說，你的手機變得有點慢，你可以只升級影響速度的那塊積木。或如果某個東西壞掉，你可以輕松地用一塊新的取代它，或是使將它更新到最新版本。
Another great thing about this is you can customize your phone. Let's say this is your phone, and you do everything in the cloud. Why not replace your storage block for a bigger battery block? If you're like this guy and love to take pictures, why not upgrade your camera? Or if you don't care about any of this stuff, you can keep it simple, and get a bigger speaker. You can choose the blocks you want, support the brands you like, or even develop your own blocks.
另一件關于這個很棒的事情是：你可以個人化你的手機。比如說這是你的手機，你在云端處理一切。為什么不把你的記憶體積木換成更大塊的電池積木呢？如果你像這個人，喜歡照相，為什么不升級你的相機呢？或如果你不在意任何這些東西，你可以讓它保持簡單，并加上一個更大的擴音器。你可以選擇你想要的積木，支持你喜歡的品牌，或甚至研發你自己的積木。
Phonebloks is built on an open platform by companies working together to create the best phone in the world. To set out this platform, we need to get the right companies and the right people involved. They will only get started if there is a lot of interest in the phone worth keeping.
積木手機是建立在一個開放的平臺上，由數個公司合作創造出世界上最好的手機 。要開始這個平臺，我們需要讓對的公司和對的人參與。如果對于這支值得保存的手機有非常多的關注，他們才會開始。
So this is the plan: To show them there's an interest for this phone, we need your voice. You can donate your social reach on the website. We gather as much people as possible. On the 29th of October we send out the blast, all at the same time, spreading all your voices to show the world there's a need for a phone worth keeping. The more people involved, the bigger the impact.
所以計劃是：要讓他們知道有對于這支手機的興趣關注，我們需要你的聲音。你可以捐出你在網站上的社交聯系。我們盡可能地召集越多人。在十月二十九日我們送出這陣旋風，全部一起，散布你們所有聲音來讓世界知道對于一支值得保存的手機有所需求。越多人參與，影響就越大。
