起床就能賺錢？不是在說夢話吧？新應用Miles讓你美夢成真。不管你是走路、打車、坐公交還是乘飛機，都可以獲得積分並可以換取禮品卡和折扣券，是不是很誘人？
In a perfect world, everything would be free. Until then, earning discounts for doing things you would probably already be doing—like driving to work—is the next best thing.
在完美世界裡，所有東西都是免費的。在這一天到來之前，做一些本來就得做的事——比如開車去上班——就能獲得折扣應該算最大的美事了吧。
As spotted by The Daily Dot, a free iOS app called Miles lets you earn points simply by getting up and going somewhere, whether it's by foot, car, bus, or plane. Rack up enough points and you'll be able to redeem gift cards and discounts for retailers like Amazon, Starbucks and Whole Foods, to name a few.
據Daily Dot網站報導，一款名為Miles的免費蘋果應用讓你起床出門就能賺積分，無論是步行、乘車、乘巴士還是乘飛機。攢夠了積分就可以換取禮品卡和亞馬遜、星巴克、全食超市等零售商的折扣券。
The app is designed to encourage eco-friendly travel, so the amount of reward miles, or points, you earn depends on your mode of transport. One mile in a car translates to one mile earned through the app, but a ride in an Uber or Lyft will get you double the points. Public transportation yields three points per mile, biking is five points per mile, and walking is 10 points per mile.
這款應用意在鼓勵環保的出行方式，獎勵給用戶的積分多少取決於你所選擇的交通工具。乘私家車走1英裡（1.6千米）在應用上的積分為1分，但乘坐優步或來福車則會獲得雙倍積分。乘坐公共運輸工具每英裡可獲得3分，騎車每英裡可獲得5分，而走路可獲得10分。
Flying, on the other hand, will only accrue 0.1 points per mile. You won't have to log your trips either because they're recorded automatically in the app. Of course, for this to work, users have to allow the app to track their location at all times, which might make some people squeamish for privacy reasons. The app's CEO told The Verge that raw data collected from the app isn't shared with the company's partners—only abstract insights about your movement patterns.
然而，乘坐飛機每英裡只能獲得0.1個積分。用戶無需填寫旅行日誌，該應用會自動幫你記錄。當然，如果要實現自動記錄，用戶必須允許應用一直追蹤自己的位置，這可能會因為隱私問題被一些人詬病。該應用的執行長告訴The Verge網站說，應用所收集到的原始數據不會和公司的合作夥伴共享，只會分享關於用戶出行模式的抽象分析報告。
To contextualize how much you'd need to travel to reap the rewards, something like a $5 Starbucks or Amazon gift card requires 2500 reward miles (or 250 miles of walking, for instance). Still, if you're OK with sharing your travel patterns with companies, it's a passive way to cut costs on items you'd already be buying (like groceries, or your go-to morning latte).
那麼你需要走多少路才能獲得獎品呢？一張5美元（34元人民幣）的星巴克折扣券或亞馬遜禮品卡需要2500分（步行250英裡所獲得的積分）。另外，如果你願意和其他公司分享你的出行模式，你購買日常物品（比如雜貨或早晨的拿鐵咖啡）還能獲得減價。
The app isn't currently available on Android but it should be coming soon, according to The Daily Dot.
據Daily Dot網站報導，目前該應用無法在安卓系統中使用，但安卓版應該很快就能上線。
