The internet is a distracting place. Admit it: you’re reading this instead of working right now. One company hopes to combat this—for writers, at least—with a dedicated writing device, without any internet access.
互联网是一个令人分心的地方。 承认：您正在阅读此书，而不是现在就读。 一家公司希望使用专用的书写设备，至少在没有互联网访问的情况下，至少要对作家们做到这一点。
The Freewrite Traveler, an e-ink display with a keyboard and no web browser, is all over the web today, with reviews on The Verge, Engadget, and PC World. The idea, basically, is that a dedicated machine for writing—without access to Twitter, Instagram, and other distractions—will help writers actually write.
Freewrite Traveler是一种带键盘，没有网络浏览器的电子墨水显示器，如今已遍及网络，并且对The Verge ， Engadget和PC World进行了评论 。 基本上，该想法是，使用一种专用的书写工具(无需访问Twitter，Instagram和其他干扰方法)将帮助作家进行实际写作。
All this for $600, or $300 for early bird backers. Here’s Kris Naudus, writing for Engadget:
所有这些费用为600美元，对于早期支持者，则为300美元。 这是Kris Naudus， 为Engadget撰写 ：
Sure, you could just drop some cash on a copy of Scrivener instead, turn off the WiFi on your laptop and hope you get some work done. But when you inevitably cave and end up refreshing your Twitter feed for the 100th time, the Freewrite’s spartan approach to writing might start looking pretty good.
当然，您可以放一些现金代替Scrivener的副本，关闭笔记本电脑上的WiFi，并希望您能完成一些工作。 但是，当您不可避免地陷入困境并最终第100次刷新Twitter提要时，Freewrite的斯巴达式写作方法可能看起来就不错了。
I’m not discounting the idea that this could help some people. It might.
我不反对这样可以帮助某些人的想法。 它可能。
But if you’re distracted now, odds are you’ll find ways to be distracted even if you’re using an e-ink device without an internet connection—if only because your phone is likely still in your pocket. No dedicated device is going to help you focus until you make the active decision not to be distracted. Buying something is no shortcut to making that decision.
但是，如果您现在分心，很可能即使您使用的是没有互联网连接的电子墨水设备，也可能会发现分心的方法-仅仅是因为手机可能仍在口袋里。 在做出主动决定不要分心之前，没有专用的设备可以帮助您集中精力。 买东西并不是做出决定的捷径。
I had a good friend in college who kept buying more and more equipment for working out, but never actually got around to exercising. I think for many people the Freelance Traveller will become the productivity version of the treadmill and weight kit taking up space in the basement: a monument to good intentions that were never followed up on.
我在大学里有一个好朋友，他一直在购买越来越多的健身器材，但从未真正参加过锻炼。 我认为对于许多人来说，Freelance Traveler将成为跑步机和举重套件的生产率版本，并占用地下室的空间：这是从未遵循的良好意愿的纪念碑。
I’m not saying you shouldn’t purchase such a device, only that nothing can magically make you focus. That’s going to have to be a decision you make, and it’s not going to be easy—regardless of whether you buy something like this. It’s still a decision that’s worth making.
我并不是说您不应该购买这样的设备，只是说没有什么能神奇地使您专注。 无论您是否购买这样的商品，这都将是您做出的决定，这绝非易事。 这仍然是值得做出的决定。
