Many of us have become so reliant on our smartphones, we use them to carry out a staggering 221 tasks every day.

　　我们中间有许多人如此依赖自己的智能手机，每天都要在手机上陆陆续续的完成221件事。

　　A study of 2,000 smartphone owners revealed that the average user reaches for their phone at 7:31am each morning, to check personal emails and Facebook.

　　一项研究对2000名智能手机用户进行了调查，发现这些用户一般都是每天早上7点半就开始看手机，查看电子邮箱和脸书网信息更新等等。

　　And before they’ve even got out of bed, the majority of people check the weather, read the news, and send a text or two to friends.

　　不仅如此，许多人甚至在起床之前，还要查查天气，看看新闻，再给朋友们发一两个短信。

　　It also emerged that people will check the train times, do their banking and update Instagram early on in the day.

　　研究还发现，人们会一大早就用手机查看火车时刻表，做点财务工作，还会更新Instagram上的讯息。

　　In an average week, the research discovered that users pick up their phone more than 1,500 times to complete various tasks from emails to playing games and posting to social media.

　　研究者发现，平均而言，手机用户们每周看手机的次数超过1500次，做完发送邮件，玩游戏，在社交网络上传讯息等诸多事情。

　　And the average smartphone user is on their phone for three hours and sixteen minutes a day.

　　And surprisingly, four in ten said they have, at one time or another, checked their emails automatically without thinking.

　　并且，令人惊讶的是，4/10的人声称他们曾经想都没想就自动的打开了邮箱，查看邮件。
