“This machine is killing me,” croons(低声吟唱) Phoebe Bridgers in “Lost Boys”, her new song. She does not say whether she has a particular device in mind (or whether, like Rage Against the Machine(美国著名摇滚乐队，以反体制政治立场闻名), she is using the term as a metaphor for the establishment(当权体制)). But, given that her song is about self-destruction and stunted(发育不良的) maturity, she may well be referring to a smartphone.
“这台机器要了我的命，”Phoebe Bridgers在她的新歌《Lost Boys》中低吟浅唱。她没有说明自己是否特指某种设备（也没有说明她是否像Rage Against the Machine那样，用这个词来隐喻当权体制）。但考虑到这首歌的主题是自我毁灭与停滞不前的成熟度，她很可能指的是智能手机。
Elsewhere, however, Ms Bridgers has been loud and clear(明确无误地) about her feelings towards the gadgets: she has banned phones during her world tour, which kicked off(开始) on September 14th. To gain entry, ticket-holders will have to seal their devices inside pouches that are then magnetically locked for the duration of the gig.(持票者入场时须将设备封入袋中，袋子在演出期间会被磁力锁住。) That means no filming or taking photos, as fans annoyingly do at other performances. According to Samsung, a phonemaker, each concert-goer in Britain records on average 12 and a half minutes of video per show.
然而在其他场合，Bridgers女士对自己对这些电子设备的感受毫不含糊：她在9月14日启动的世界巡演中禁止使用手机。持票者入场时须将设备封入袋中，袋子在演出期间会被磁力锁住。这意味着不能录像或拍照——而歌迷在其他演出中偏偏爱这么做，令人心烦。据手机制造商三星称，英国每位演唱会观众平均每场录制12分半钟的视频。
She is not alone in(并非只有……) enforcing(执行) such rules. Alicia Keys, Childish Gambino and Jack White have all banned smartphones at their gigs. Sir Paul McCartney(英国传奇音乐人，披头士乐队成员) barred(禁止) them at two concerts he played in Los Angeles earlier this year. Bob Dylan(美国传奇唱作人，诺贝尔文学奖得主)’s upcoming tour will be phone-free.
并非只有她一人执行此类规定。Alicia Keys、Childish Gambino和Jack White都在自己的演唱会上禁止使用智能手机。Paul McCartney爵士今年早些时候在洛杉矶的两场演唱会上也禁止了手机。Bob Dylan即将到来的巡演也将是无手机的。
