一直以來(lái)，我都非常羨慕電腦高手們，時(shí)常在我面前罷工，弄得我焦頭爛額的電腦到了他們手里立刻就變得服服帖帖的了，也不了解他們對(duì)電腦施了什么法術(shù)。而且，他們還會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)地寫(xiě)個(gè)什么微信小程序幫助清理垃圾文件啊，提升運(yùn)行速度啊之類的，這類對(duì)大家來(lái)講真的是不折不扣的life hack1。

The term life hack is derived2 from the technical hacks3 that programmers and other geeks have set up for themselves to make their lives easier. This usually means methods of organizing data, little utilities to synchronize4 files that automate5 daily tasks, etc.

Life hack（生活幫）這個(gè)短語(yǔ)剛開(kāi)始指的是技術(shù)員和黑客們?yōu)榱吮憬葑约憾鴦?chuàng)建的一些技術(shù)性的快捷工具，一般是梳理數(shù)據(jù)、同步處置文檔的小工具等自動(dòng)完成一些平時(shí)任務(wù)的工具。

Today, life hacks are basically anything that is a solution to an everyday problem, frustration6, etc. As a result, were seeing the term used to describe solutions to losing weight, public speaking, doing your professional job better, time management, etc. As such, the current useage probably more accurately7 reflects the term itself.

目前，life hack可以指任何能解決日常遇見(jiàn)的問(wèn)題或麻煩的辦法。因此，大家會(huì)看到這個(gè)短語(yǔ)被用于形容解決減肥、公開(kāi)講話、提高工作表現(xiàn)、安排時(shí)間等等方面問(wèn)題的辦法。由此，目前的這類使用方法倒是更準(zhǔn)確地反應(yīng)了這個(gè)短語(yǔ)本身的字面意思。
