My head was filled with panic as I attempted to revive it in vain. I couldn’t call anyone for advice. I couldn’t Google whether this had happened to any fellow iPhone parents. And when I finally arrived at work (luckily I found my office without Google maps to guide me), I learned that sick days do not apply to one’s iPhone children.
当我试着解决问题无果时，我陷入了恐慌。我无法给任何人打电话求助。我不知道其他的iPhone用户是否发生过这种情况。当我终于到达公司时(所幸，没有谷歌地图我也找到了公司的地址)，我意识到iPhone不能出任何故障。
The Apple Store was closed by the time I finished work, so I headed home worrying about an Eloise-less night. But, after a couple hours without any text alerts, push notifications, or even good old-fashioned phone calls, I felt ... calmer. After a few more hours I felt like a whole new woman, rising above the need for a silly... what was it called again? It had been so long I could hardly remember.
我下班的时候，苹果店已经关门了，所以我惴惴不安地回到家，开始了一个没有伊洛伊丝的夜晚。但是，在没有任何短信提醒、推送、甚至老式电话的几个小时后，我感觉……平静了下来。又过了几个小时，我觉得自己焕然新生，不再需要愚蠢的……怎么说来着？时间过得太久了，我都记不清了。
Without my electronic bed partner, I drifted off into the deepest slumber I’d had in months. The next morning, I read the news from a real newspaper, instead of from my iPhone. I even noticed the cherry blossoms blooming.
没有了电子床伴，我进入了几个月来最深度的睡眠。第二天早上，我拿起报纸浏览新闻，而不是从iPhone上查看。我甚至注意到樱花都盛开了。
My goodness, what had I been missing?
我的天，我错过了什么？
But although it went against my newly redefined principles, I made my way to the Apple Store later that afternoon after admitting I’d need a phone sooner or later.
尽管这违背了我重新定义的原则，但那天下午晚些时候，我还是去了苹果商店，我承认我早晚需要一部手机。
Half an hour later, I found myself yet again the proud owner of a new iPhone. When I turned it on, a wave of familiarity washed over me me as it buzzed, calling me to note the missed texts and information over the past two days.
半小时后，我发现自己再次自豪地拥有了一台新iPhone。当我打开手机时，一股熟悉的感觉涌上心头，手机嗡嗡作响，提醒我注意过去两天没有查看的短信和信息。
As I rode home, I found myself frenziedly responding to messages of “where are u?” and “c u soon?” Suddenly, I was reminded of an old song: “I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other is——death-gripping an iPhone.”...
当我骑车回家时，我发现自己疯狂地回复“你人间蒸发了？”和“一会见？”的短信。突然，我想起了一首老歌：“我一只手插在口袋里，另一只手死死地攥着iPhone。”
Without finishing my text, I put my phone back into my purse and decided to just enjoy the ride for a while.
没有继续回复完所有的短信，我把手机放回钱包里，决定好好享受一下这趟旅程。
