Matea Matkovic wants to know:

马提·迈特柯维克想知道：

"How can I motivate myself to do something with my life?"

“我怎么能激励自己在有生之年做些什么事？”

You have to go to school. That's a good thing to do with your life.

你要去上学。这是你人生中值得做的一件事。

Go on an adventure. Just do something and if you like it, keep at it.

去冒险。做些事情，如果你喜欢，那就坚持下去。

Find something you really enjoy and do it.

找到你非常想做的事情。

Look into what you like to do as a hobby. People who like, you know, comic books, they could be a good artist.

找到你想当作爱好的事情。喜欢看漫画的人可能会成为优秀的艺术家。

Think about the things that you're passionate about.

想想会让你充满热情的事情。

Say you live over by a baseball field or a softball field and they have an adult league. You should go out there and join a team.

如果你家附近有棒球场或垒球场，而且也有成人联赛的话。那你可以考虑加入一支球队。

Type "motivation" into YouTube — so many videos will just pop up that you watch until four in the morning and you're like, "You know what? I should do something with my life." But then you just spent the last six hours watching YouTube videos. So, I mean, it doesn't help but... it makes you feel motivated.

在优兔网站搜索“激励”会出现很多视频，你可以看这些视频看到凌晨四点，然后你会明白“你知道吗？我的生活中应该做些什么事。”不过之后的6个小时你可能会继续看优兔网上的视频。我的意思是，这并没有什么帮助，不过那会让你感到有动力。

Not gonna lie, this is a problem that I have. If you set your goals for the later things in life, it's easier to take the steps to achieve them rather than just be like, "All right, I guess today I'm gonna apply to 30 colleges. Hope I get in!"

不要撒谎，这是我的一个问题。如果你为之后的人生设定个目标，那采取措施实现这些目标就会更容易，不要只是说：“好，我想今天我要申请30所大学。希望我能被录取！”

Deathblade13-that's a great name.

Deathblade13，这个用户名真棒。

"How do I survive the loss of my smartphone?"

“我的智能手机丢了，我要怎么办？”

I thought you were gonna say "grandma".

我想你会说“奶奶”。

I think that nowaday the new technology is able to trace it. There's an app that, you know, that you can put into a computer and they're able to locate it.

我想现在的新技术可以进行追踪。你可以在电脑上下载一个应用，它们能帮你定位你的手机。

I think it's good to, you know, be off your phone for a little while, so go outside and enjoy nature for a little while, and then go pick up a new iPhone.

离开你的手机一段时间也不错，你可以去外面享受大自然，然后买个新的苹果手机。

Look around, there's things, there's people — actual people you can have conversations with — and just wait for your replacement.

看看周围，你可以和人们面对面交流，然后更换手机吧。

It's a simple answer, my friend. Buy a new one.

朋友，答案很简单。买部新手机。

You get a new one. I mean, honestly — this day and age, everybody needs a phone.

买新手机。说实话，现在这个时代，人人都需要一部手机。

Buy a new one. That's just the easiest question to solve.

买个新手机。这是最容易解决的问题。

If I lost my iPod or my phone, I would be so scared, so what you should do is use all your money and buy a new one.

如果我弄丢了我的iPod或者手机，我可能会很害怕，所以你应该用你所有的钱买部新手机。

(sympathetically) That is very sad. I'm sorry.

（同情地）这太不幸了。我很遗憾。

You really don't. You just grieve until you get it back.

你什么也做不了。在你找回手机以前你会很伤心的。

You need to give that thing a proper funeral. You need to get a shoebox, you need to bury it, you need to cry over it, you put flowers on it, you give it the respect it deserves, and in return you will have such a peace of mind, it's beautiful.

你要给那部手机办个合适的葬礼。你要拿一个鞋盒，然后埋掉它，你要为它哭泣，在上面放上鲜花，给予它应得的尊重，这样你就会得到心灵上的平静，这很好。
