So what I did was I scrolled down to the bottom of the email, and I pressed, "Unsubscribe."
于是我滑到郵箱的最底部，點擊了下“取消訂閱”。
And I thought that'd be the end of it. But a week later, I got another one that said,
我想這樣應該就會清凈了。但是一周后，我收到了另一封郵件寫到，
"Just two weeks until SafeMart at King's Cross opens!!!"
“還有兩周安全超市即將在國王十字路口開張啦！！！”
And I thought, obviously, I haven't clicked hard enough.
我想，應該是我上次沒有退訂成功。
So I tried it again. Right? Lo and behold, a week passes, you guessed it,
然后我又退訂了一次，這樣應該好了吧？沒想到，過了一周，你猜怎么著，
"Just one week until SafeMart at King's Cross opens!!!"
“還有一周，安全超市 即將在國王十字路口開張啦！！！”
And here's the problem: The internet gave us access to everything; but it also gave everything access to us.
這就有問題了：互聯網讓我們與世界相連；同時也讓所有東西與我們相連。
It's hard enough to discriminate between the things that genuinely matter in this world and the minutiae of life,
我們可能就會很難分辨世界上真正重要的東西和生活中的雞毛蒜皮，
without having emails about supermarket chains and Candy Crush Saga.
如果沒有關于連鎖超市和糖果傳奇（一款手機游戲）的郵件。
And I was really annoyed with them, and I thought, OK, I was about to write a strongly worded email, which I can do quite well.
我真的被它們搞煩了，我想，看來我必須要寫一封語氣很重的回復郵件了，我很擅長這種事兒。
And I thought, no -- I'm going to find the game. So I replied to it, and I said, "I literally cannot wait!!!!"
然后我仔細想想，不--我要陪它們玩下去。所以我回復了它，我寫到，“我真是等不及了啊！！！”
"What do you need from me?"
“我可以為你們做些什么呢？”
They got back to me; a guy called Dan said, "Hi James. I've asked a colleague to help me with your query."
一個叫Dan的人給我回復了，寫道：“你好 James。我就你的問題向我的同事咨詢了一下。”
