英語四級晨讀100篇精華版035：Privacy個人隱私
35. Privacy個人隱私
Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites youve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
有一天一個陌生人在未經(jīng)你允許的情況下私自閱讀你的電子郵件或者瀏覽你瀏覽過的稠頁：或者不經(jīng)意間瞥一眼你的信用卡消費情況或者手機賬單，以此來了解你的購物愛好或者是打電話的習慣。
In fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
事實是這種情況很可能已經(jīng)發(fā)生在你的身上。未經(jīng)你的允許誰可能會關注你呢?很可能是你的配偶、女朋友、生意上的同伴、老板、警察或者犯罪分子。不管是誰，他們都會以一種你從來都不希望被看見的方式看見你-21世紀就相當于裸體的你被抓個正著。
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
心理學家告訴我們保持適度的空間有益于健康，同時適時地向朋友、家人以及愛人傾訴很重要。但是現(xiàn)在沒有空間可以保髓，因為你鱈在任何一處的數(shù)字碎屑都為陌生人提供了可乘之機，他們通過這些碎屑重新組合，輕易地重構出你是誰、在哪里、喜歡什么。有時候一個簡單的咎歌搜索就泄露了你在想什么。不管你喜歡與否，我們生活的這個世界是越來越難保守秘密了。
The key question is: Does that matter?
主要問題是：這很重要嗎?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is no.
對大多數(shù)美國人而言，答案顯而易見不重要。
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away, and that bothers me.
但是當民意調查問及美國人的個人隱私觀時，大多數(shù)人說他們對于失去個人隱私很關心。一項調查顯示絕大多數(shù)美國人對個人隱私持悲觀態(tài)度，600/,的被訪者說他們覺得他們的隱私正在離他們而去，這一點讓他們很煩惱。
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50- cents- off coupon .
但人們總是心口不一。只有極少數(shù)美國人會改變個人行為努力保護自己的個人隱私。為了避免使用跟蹤汽車駕駛情況的公路卡系統(tǒng)，很少有人拒絕收費站的打折優(yōu)惠;很少有人拒絕超市的忠誠卡。個人隱私經(jīng)濟學家本韋努托。斯特拉涅羅進行了一系列的測試，結果顯示人們?yōu)榱四强蓱z的50美分優(yōu)惠券而將個人信息，諸如社會保險卡號泄露出去。
But privacy does matter at least sometimes. Its like health: When you have it, you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.
但是個人隱私真的很重要至少有時候。它就像人的健康狀況：當你擁有它的時候，飾根本就注意不到：只有當你失去它的時候，你才后悔沒有傲更多的事情保護它。
