求这篇文章的翻译,要自己翻的
“Life is speeding up.Everyone is getting unwell.”
This may sound like something someone would say today.But in fact,an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions.They are exciting,amazing and can change our lives.
But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this:You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer.Your mobile phone rings,a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen,and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder.Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.Now you have to stay up all right to get it done.How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired.Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities,who have no telephones,no cars,not even any electricity often seem to be happier?Perhaps because they lead simple lives.
One family in the UK went“back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today.The grandparents,with their daughter,and grandsons Benjamin,10 and Thomas,7,spent nine weeks in a 1940s house.They had no washing machine,microwave,computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother,Lyn,said,“It was hard physically.But not mentally.”She believed life was less materialistic.“The more things you have,the more difficult life becomes,”she said.The bys said they fought less.Probably,they said,because there was less to fight over,such as their computer.Also Lyn changed from being a “fashionable,beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”

“生活节奏加快,每个人都变得不健康。”
这听起来好像今天的人所说的那样。但实际上,是在罗马公元53的一个无名人士写的一句话。
我们都喜爱新的发明。它们令人兴奋,令人惊喜和改变我们的生活。
但是这些发明真的能够提高我们生活的质量吗?
例如这种情况:你正在忙于用电脑完成你的工作。你的电话响起,你朋友的QQ信息出现在屏幕上,和来自电视的声音越来越大声。突然电脑变得黑暗一片同时掉失了你所有的工作。现在你不得不熬夜把它完成。(How calm and happy do you feel?这句不是太懂,冷静又怎么会开心呢?)你会感觉到冷静和开心是如何的?
发明为我们的生活加快了不少,它们也常常带给我们压力和疲倦。为什么你会认为那些住在离吵闹城市远,没有电话,没人车甚于没有电供应的人会生活得比较开心些呢?可能因为他们想生活过得简单些。
一个英国的家庭“时光倒流”到-如果没有我们今天所有发明物的生活会是怎样的?祖父母,他们的女儿,10岁和7岁的孙子Benjamin和Thomas,在一个1940年的房子里住了9个星期。他们没有洗衣机,微波炉,电脑或者电话。祖母,Lyn说“在体力上好辛苦,但不是在心里上”她相信生活是少物质的东西。“你拥有更多,你生活的烦脑也变得更多。”她说。男孩们说他们吵架也少了。大概他们所说的少吵架都是因为少斗争,就像他们挣电脑那样。Lyn也从“很时髦,疯狂饮酒”变得现在会煮饭的人。
(意思大概是这样啦,没有10全10美的翻译,看得懂就行了)
