古人言"富不過三代" 成爲科技界新魔咒
For all the Money people spend on technology gadgets, it's about time they got something without spending a cent. In this week's column, I've compiled a cheat sheet to some of the most popular free digital content that isn't always easy to find. This includes books, music, movies, TV shows, catalogs, magazines and apps, available on mobile devices as well as computer desktops.
人們在技術產品上花了大把大把的錢，現在該是空手套白狼的時候了。在本週的欄目裏，我編輯了一份速查單，上面都是一些最受歡迎、又不太容易找到的免費數字內容，這其中包括圖書、音樂、電影、電視節目、商品目錄、雜誌和應用程序，通過臺式電腦和移動設備都可以獲取這些資源。
This guide is divided into the four major content companies you're likely to buy from: Apple, Amazon, Google and Barnes & Noble. The free offerings include content people will actually want to download, such as songs from new and established music artists and hit TV shows. I also included some broader-based websites that aim to help people sort through vast collections of free content.
本指南按照你可能去購物的公司，將內容分爲四大部分：蘋果(Apple)、亞馬遜(Amazon)、谷歌(Google)和巴諾(Barnes &Noble)。免費的內容包括人們實際想要下載的東西，比如剛嶄露頭角的或已成名的音樂藝術家的歌曲、熱門電視節目。我還擴大範圍，收錄了一些旨在幫助人們整理收藏大量免費內容的網站。
Apple
蘋果的音樂商店(iTunes Store)從一開始就炙手可熱，它把購買音樂的過程簡化爲只需鼠標點擊一下已保存過的信用卡信息這樣簡單，不過你一不小心，點擊的數量就會迅速增加。
Apple's iTunes Store has been a hit from the start, simplifying the process of buying music with a click of the mouse and saved credit-card information. But these clicks can add up quickly if you aren't careful.
每週二，美國東部時間午夜0點左右開始，蘋果都會在它的音樂商店推出一首免費的“本週單曲”(Single of the Week)，本週的曲目是科科•瓊斯(Coco Jones)的“Deja Vu”。此外，蘋果也常常會根據具體情況推出免費歌曲，比如2月19號就推出了 the View唱的"The Clock"。有時，一些專輯可以免費試聽一週左右，之後纔在蘋果音樂商店開始銷售。本週，我就免費聽了賈斯汀•汀布萊克(Justin Timberlake)的整張新專輯"The 20/20 Experience"，該專輯現在可以以10.99美元的價格預訂。（免費試聽活動於3月19日結束。）
Every Tuesday, starting around 12 a.m. Eastern Time, Apple offers a free Single of the Week on its iTunes store. This week it's 'Déjà Vu' by Coco Jones. In addition, Free Songs are offered every so often on a case-by-case basis, like on Feb. 19 when 'The Clock' by the View was offered. Once in a while, albums are available to stream for free about a week before they're available for purchase in the iTunes Store. This week, I listened free of charge to Justin Timberlake's entire new album, 'The 20/20 Experience, ' which can be preordered now for $10.99. (The free listening offer ends March 19.)
蘋果音樂商店裏有一個地方集中了所有的免費內容，包括音樂、電影短片（電影片段或演員陣容問與答），特色電視節目、應用程序、圖書和播客。你可以進入，找到蘋果音樂商店的免費資源頁面。
3. Be selfish sometimes. Burns advises 'checking out' occasionally to put personal needs ahead of career and family. 'Think about your health, physically and mentally, ' she says. A failure to do so, she warns, can put everything else at risk.
3. 偶爾自私一下 。彭斯建議，偶爾將自己的個人需要放在職業和家庭之上。她說，想想自己的健康，無論是身體健康還是心理健康。她警告說，如果自己不健康，那其他一切都將面臨風險。
4. Don't take guilt trips. Mothers often feel pressure to be present for their children all the time, but such expectations are neither realistic nor necessary, Burns says. 'Kids are pretty resilient, ' she says. 'You don't have to be at every volleyball game. We can't guilt ourselves.' Her own mother missed many of her extracurricular activities, she adds, 'and I'm fine.'
4. 不要活在內疚的陰影裏 。彭斯說，媽媽們常常感覺必須時時刻刻參與到孩子的生活中，但這樣的期望既不現實也沒有必要。她說，孩子們復原能力很強，你不必孩子的每場排球賽都去看，我們不能讓自己內疚着活下去。彭斯還說，她的母親就錯過了她的很多課外活動，而她並不覺得有什麼問題。
5. Don't take life too seriously. 'Ninety percent of this stuff is just not that serious, ' she says. 'We get crazy about it.' Burns says she often thinks back to her mother's advice to stay grounded. 'Continually go back to the basic stuff, ' she says. 'Be prudent. Enjoy it.'
5. 不要活得太較真 。她說，有90%的事情都不必那麼認真，但我們卻過於較真。彭斯說，她常常回想她母親有關淡定的忠告。她說，時不時地迴歸到基本，慎重行事，享受生活。
