I call it teen-lish. It's a digital language. It's got two sounds: a grunt and a silence.
我稱之為少年語言。它是一種數(shù)字式的語言。它有兩種聲音：咕噥聲和沉默。
"Honey, come over for dinner." "Hmm." "Did you hear me?" Silence. "Can you listen to me?" "Hmm."
“親愛的，過來吃飯”“嗯”“聽見我說的話了嗎”沉默“能聽見我說話嗎?”“嗯”
So we had a real issue with communicating, and we were just not communicating,
因此，我們有一個(gè)溝通方面的切實(shí)問題，我們根本不是在溝通，
until one day I had this epiphany. I texted her. I got an instant response.
直到有一天我才有此頓悟。我發(fā)短信給她，得到一個(gè)即時(shí)的回應(yīng)，
I said, no, that must have been by accident. She must have thought, you know, some friend of hers was calling her.
我說，不，那肯定是你偶然才知道的。她得想想她的一些朋友在叫她。
So I texted her again. Boom, another response. I said, this is great. And so since then, our life has changed.
所以我再次給她發(fā)短信，再一次回應(yīng)，我說，這太棒了。于是從那時(shí)起，我們的生活已經(jīng)改變了。
I text her, she responds. It's just been absolutely great.
我發(fā)短信，她回應(yīng)。這種模式一直都非常好。
So our millennial generation is built differently.
我們的千禧一代成長方式有所不同。
Now, I'm older, and my youthful looks might belie that, but I'm not in the millennial generation.
現(xiàn)在，我老了，這一點(diǎn)與我年輕的外表并不相稱，但我不是千禧一代。
But our kids are really different. The millennial generation is completely comfortable with online technology.
但我們的孩子真的不一樣。千禧一代完全適應(yīng)在線技術(shù)。
So why are we fighting it in the classroom? Let's not fight it. Let's embrace it.
那么，我們?yōu)槭裁床辉诮淌依锸褂眠@種技術(shù)呢？不要再反對(duì)它，讓我們接受它。
In fact, I believe and I have two fat thumbs, I can't text very well, but I'm willing to bet that with evolution,
事實(shí)上，我有兩個(gè)肥胖的拇指，編輯短信并不容易，但我敢說，在進(jìn)化的過程中
our kids and their grandchildren will develop really, really little, itty-bitty thumbs to text much better, that evolution will fix all of that stuff.
我們的孩子和他們的子孫將發(fā)育成很小，甚至極小的拇指，以便更好地編輯信息，這種進(jìn)化將改變諸如此類的東西。
