What's in the box? Whatever it is must be pretty important, because I've traveled with it, moved it, from apartment to apartment to apartment.
猜猜看这个箱子里有什么？至少是些要紧的东西吧，毕竟不管我去哪儿、搬到哪儿，都带着这个箱子呢。
Sound familiar? Did you know that we Americans have about three times the amount of space we did 50 years ago? Three times. So you'd think, with all this extra space, we'd have plenty of room for all our stuff. Nope. There's a new industry in town, a 22 billion-dollar, 2.2 billion sq. ft. industry: that of personal storage.
你们也干过差不多的事儿吧？说起来你们知不知道，跟 50 年前的美国人相比，我们有了 3 倍多的空间？整整三倍啊！那你可能会说，既然空间更多了，那肯定够我们放各种东西了。非也非也。要知道现在有个新兴产业，价值 220 亿美元、累计占地 22 亿平方英尺，而作用就是为客户提供存储空间。
So we've got triple the space, but we've become such good shoppers that we need even more space. So where does this lead? Lots of credit card debt, huge environmental footprints, and perhaps not coincidentally, our happiness levels flat-lined over the same 50 years.
虽然我们有了三倍多的空间，但我们的消费能力增长得更快，因此我们实际上需要更多的空间。那这一切的后果有哪些呢？比如大量的信用卡贷款、对环境的巨大影响，还有这 50 年里停滞不前的幸福水平 —— 而这最后一点恐怕并非无巧不成书。
Well I'm here to suggest there's a better way, that less might actually equal more. I bet most of us have experienced at some point the joys of less: college -- in your dorm, traveling -- in a hotel room, camping -- rig up basically nothing, maybe a boat.
所以我想说，其实有一种更好的生活方式：在这里少一些，在别处就多一些。我相信我们大部分人都或多或少地体验过 “少” 的乐趣 —— 校园里，我们只需要一间宿舍；旅途中，我们只需要一间客房；野营时，基本用不着什么东西，可能要一条船。
Whatever it was for you, I bet that, among other things, this gave you a little more freedom, a little more time. So I'm going to suggest that less stuff and less space are going to equal a smaller footprint. It's actually a great way to save you some money. And it's going to give you a little more ease in your life.
我相信，和其它事物相比，这些场景会给你带来多一点点自由，和多一点点时间。所以我想说，少用点东西、少占点空间，就意味着对环境少些影响，也能为你节省一些花销，而且，你的生活也会变得更加轻松。
