TED英语演讲:幸福的人为什么会出轨

TED英语演讲:幸福的人为什么会出轨

TED英语演讲:幸福的人为什么会出轨幸福的人为什么会出轨?人们说起不忠,真正是指什么?为什么人们会认为男人出轨都是出于厌倦和对紧密关系的恐惧,而女人出轨则是出于寂寞和对亲密关系的渴求呢?对于出轨人的建议是什么?下面是小编为大家收集关于TED英语演讲:幸福的人为什么会出轨,欢迎借鉴参考。

幸福的人为什么会出轨Why do we cheat? And why do happy people cheat? And when we say "infidelity," what exactly do we mean? Is it a hookup, a love story, paid sex, a chat room, a massage with a happy ending? Why do we think that men cheat out of boredom and fear of intimacy, but women cheat out of loneliness and hunger for intimacy? And is an affair always the end of a relationship?我们为何出轨? 为何幸福之人也会出轨? 我们所谓的“不忠”到底指的是什么? 是一夜情?爱情故事? 有偿性服务?私聊? 还是特殊按摩服务? 为什么我们认为男人出轨是因为寻求刺激或是害怕亲密关系,而女人出轨是因为孤独或是渴求亲密关系? 婚外情是不是意味着婚姻已走到尽头?For the past 10 years, I have traveled the globe and worked extensively with hundreds of couples who have been shattered by infidelity. There is one simple act of transgression that can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness and their very identity: an affair. And yet, this extremely common act is so poorly understood. So this talk is for anyone who has ever loved.在过去十年间,我走遍世界走访了数百对夫妻,他们都因出轨而心力交瘁。

当然,现在情况不一样了,不过这只是最近发生的事。

It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at t he Forbes 30 Under 30 summit:1,500 brilliant people, all under the age o f 30. That meant that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and theyoungest, just four. I joked with them that some might only have heard o f me from rap songs. Yes, I'm in rap songs. Almost 40 rap songs.几个月前,我在《福布斯》杂志举办的“30岁以下”峰会(Under 30 Summit)上发表了首次公开演讲。

现场1500位才华横溢的与会者都不到30岁。

这意味着1998年,他们中最年长的是14岁,而最年轻的只有4岁。

我跟他们开玩笑道,他们中有些人可能只在说唱歌曲里听到过我的名字。

是的,大约有40首说唱歌曲唱过我。

But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened. At the age of 4 1, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy. I know, right He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined. You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was He could make me fe el 22 again. I realized later that night, I'm probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again. 但是,在我演讲当晚,发生了一件令人吃惊的事——我作为一个41岁的女人,被一个27岁的男孩示爱。

TED中英对照演讲稿-我如何爱上一条鱼

TED中英对照演讲稿-我如何爱上一条鱼Dan Barber: How I fell in love with a fish我一生中接触过很多鱼。

只有两种是我的最爱。

第一种,是源于激情。

它是一条美丽的鱼,美味,纹理细腻,肉质丰富,是菜单上最受欢迎的鱼。

多么美的鱼啊!(笑声)更好的是,它是依照最高标准养殖的,目的是保持它的可持续性的。

而卖他的人也会感到心安理得。

So, I've known a lot of fish in my life. I've loved only two. That first one, it was more like a passionate affair. It was a beautiful fish, flavorful, textured, meaty, a best-seller on the menu. What a fish. (Laughter) Even better, it wasfarm-raised to the supposed highest standards of sustainability. So you could feel good about selling it.我曾经沉醉于这美丽的关系中,时间大概延续了几个月。

有一天,这个公司的高层打电话给我邀请我参加一个活动并就渔业的可持续性发展发表演说。

我说,“当然可以”。

这个公司正是要试图解决一个对于我们厨师来说正在变得不可想象的问题。

“我们如何把鱼类留在菜单上?”I was in a relationship with this beauty for several months. One day, the head of the company called and asked if I'd speak at an event about the farm'ssustainability. "Absolutely," I said. Here was a company trying to solve what's become this unimaginable problem for our chefs. How do we keep fish on our menus?在过去的50年中,我们从各个海洋中捕鱼就像是砍伐树木。

英语阅读:恋爱让你更聪明的5个理由(英汉对照)1. Marry someone similar to you, if a bit smarter找一个和你一样聪明、甚至更聪明的人结婚A Seattle Longitudinal Study found that the most stable relationships were those in which people were similar in intelligence, flexibility of attitudes, social responsibility, and education levels. Researchers also found that after 14 years together, spouses with the better grasp of verbal meanings and word fluency had pulled the lower-functioning spouses up to their level.一项西雅图纵向研究发现,那些在智力、态度灵活性、社会责任感以及教育水平方面相似的夫妻,关系最稳定。

研究人员还发现,共同生活14年后,夫妻双方中对语义和语言流畅性掌握得更好的一方,会将另一方的能力也提升到和自己相同的水平。

2. Hold hands whenever possible只要可能,牵住爱人的手In addition to creating feelings of warmth and closeness, holding hands can help inoculate you from stress. One study using brain scans found that when married women were told they were about to receive an electric shock, just holding their husbands’ hands minimized their brains’response to the threat. Women in the closest relationships experienced the greatest decrease in stress-related brain activity.手牵手不仅可以让人产生温暖和亲近的感觉,还可以帮助你减轻压力。

TED英文演讲:什么叫爱情Stacey素来很痴迷一对爱人的偶遇全过程。

她邀约了摄像师Alec帮助讨论这一议案,他们在情人节,一起到拉斯维加参与全世界最盛大游戏的迅速幽会,又来访内华达州较大的离休人员小区,他们解除了一个谜,便是一对爱人如何由第一次偶遇到一起一同日常生活的过程。

下边是我为大伙儿搜集有关TED英文演讲:什么叫爱情,热烈欢迎参考参照。

演讲题目:什么叫爱情?择一城终老,遇一人相守!演讲人:Alec·Soth & Stacey·Baker发言稿Alec Soth: So about 10 years ago, I got a call from a woman in Texas, Stacey Baker, and she'd seen some of my photographs in an art exhibition and was wondering if she could commission me to take a portrait of her parents. Now, at the time I hadn't met Stacey, and I thought this was some sort of wealthy oil tycoon and I'd struck it rich, but it was only later that I found out she'd actually taken out a loan to make this happen.Alec Soth: 大约十年前,我接到德州市一位女性的电話,便是她,Stacey Baker。

她在一场艺术展览上看了我的一些摄影图片,随后想问是不是能够请我来为她的爸爸妈妈照相。

那时候,我都沒有看到Stacey,我曾认为她会是一位石油大亨,要我一夜暴富。

TED英文演讲:对爱和永世的探寻

TED英文演讲:对爱和永世的探寻

TED英文演讲:对爱和永世的探寻Sirius XM通讯卫星广播电台的创办人Martine Rothblatt如今领导干部一家药业公司,为少见病症(包含解救自身闺女性命的一种药品)给予拯救生命的药品。

此外,她已经勤奋储存她喜爱的数据文档中的女性的观念......及其爱人智能机器人。

在与TED的查尔斯德克尔的演出舞台会话中,利文斯顿布拉特共享她的感情,真实身份,想像力和无尽概率的强劲小故事。

下边是我为大伙儿搜集有关TED英文演讲:对爱和永世的探寻,热烈欢迎参考参照。

My daughter, my wife, our robot, and the quest for immortality演讲人:Martine Rothblatt/ 汉语发言稿 /查尔斯德克尔:我觉得大家那样大家先谈一谈你的日常生活,跟大伙儿共享一下你以前看一下的一些相片。

我们就从这张逐渐。

这名到底是谁?马蒂娜利文斯顿布拉特:它是我和的儿子便于。

他那时候大概五岁。

它是在尼日利亚照的,就在我刚参与完多伦多市的律师资格考試。

克:好的。

但这看起来不太像马蒂娜。

马:是的。

那时候我还是男士,我是做为男士出世成长。

那就是在我做完变性手术,从乔治变成马蒂娜以前。

克:你是以乔治利文斯顿布拉特的真实身份成长的。

马:是的。

克:在拍完这张相片以后大约一年,你婚娶了一位美丽姑娘。

是一见钟情么?那时候是什么情况?马:确实是一见钟情。

我是在洛杉矶市的一个迪斯科舞厅遇上的碧娜。

之后大家住在了一起,但从我看到她的那一刻起,我也见到她所带上的动能。

我请她舞蹈。

她讲她也见到我所带的动能。

我那时候是个单身父亲,她是个单身母亲。

大家给彼此之间看过小孩的相片,如今大家早已在婚姻生活里幸福快乐的渡过了1/3个新世纪。

(欢呼声)克:那时你算作个趋之若鹜的创业人,做通讯卫星层面的工作中。

你那时候早已拥有2个取得成功的企业,随后你逐渐新的挑戰,思索怎样根据通讯卫星来转型广播节目。

给大家讲下这一。

Jenni Chang: When I told my parents I was gay, the first thing they said to me was, "We're bringing you back to Taiwan."Jenni Chang: 当我向我的父母出柜的时候,他们的第一反应是,“我们要把你带回台湾。

”In their minds, my sexual orientation was America's fault. The West had corrupted me with divergent ideas, and if only my parents had never left Taiwan, this would not have happened to their only daughter. In truth, I wondered if they were right.在他们看来,我的性取向是美国造成的错误。

是西方的非主流观念侵蚀了我,而且如果我的父母从未离开台湾,他们的独生女儿绝不会变成这样。

事实上,我想他们并不见得正确。

Of course, there are gay people in Asia, just as there are gay people in every part of the world. But is the idea of living an "out" life, in the "I'm gay, this is my spouse, and we're proud of our lives together" kind of way just a Western idea? 当然,亚洲也有很多同性恋者,就像全世界其他地区一样。

TED演讲中文讲稿(精编版)关于婚姻你不知道的事

TED演讲中文讲稿(精编版)关于婚姻你不知道的事

美满婚姻靠什么?|关于婚姻你不知道的事今天的TED中文给您带来的演讲时《关于婚姻你不知道的事》。

在这个风趣随性的演讲中,作家Jenna Mccarthy分享了关于美满婚姻的研究。

每年,仅仅在美国,就有207万7000对情侣在法律上和精神上决定与对方共度一生,而且绝不搞外遇。

他买好戒指,她购入婚纱,他们一起置办各种东西,她带他去舞蹈教室上课,学跳交际舞。

当喜事来临,在上帝和家人,哦,对了,还包括她父亲曾经的生意伙,的见证下。

他们发誓,无论遇到什么事,无论是一贫如洗还是身患症,抑或是遭遇彻头彻尾的苦难都丝毫不会影响他们永恒的爱与忠诚。

这些乐观的年轻人们许诺尊重并珍惜彼此,从新婚到中年危机,到持续增加50斤体重,到在遥远未来的某一天两人中的一个终于得以安息,因为他们再也听不到对方的鼾声了。

他们会喝的得醉醺醺,向对方扔蛋糕,唱玛卡雷娜二重唱。

我们也会在场,一次次举杯庆贺,狂饮免费酒水,向他们扔鸟食。

我们一贯如此,即使我们知道,统计表明,一半以上的婚姻维持不到10年当然,另一半婚姻尚未终结,对不对?他们会一直忘记纪念日,为去哪儿度假而争吵,争辩厕纸该按什么方向摆,他们中的一些人也会一直享受有对方的陪伴,直到牙齿松动嚼不动硬食。

研究人员希望知道原因,破解婚姻失败的秘密,并不是一个双盲的对照组研究。

婚姻失败可能是互不尊重、厌倦、沉迷脸书、搞外遇等原因造成的。

你可以举出上述所有的反义词:互相尊重、新鲜刺激、断网、麻木的一夫一妻制,但最后可能还是搞砸了。

所以维系婚姻的究竟是什么呢?那些成功携手,生同衾、死同穴的伴侣有何共通点?他们做对了哪些?我们能从中学到什么?如果你是个快乐的单身贵族,为什么一定要放弃现在的生活而毕生投入于找寻那个特别的人——那个你一辈子都觉得很烦的人?研究人员花费了几十亿在座各位的纳税钱来寻找原因。

他们跟踪调查美满的婚姻,他们研究夫妻间的所有行为和特殊习惯,他们尝试精确定位幸福的夫妻不同于不幸的邻居朋友们的所有不同之处。

Helen Fisher在Ted演讲:爱情魔力背后隐藏的秘密I and my colleagues Art Aron and Lucy Brown and others, have put 37 people who are madly in love into a functional MRI brain scanner. 17 who were happily in love, 15 who had just been dumped, and we're just starting our third experiment: studying people who report that they're still in love after 10 to 25 years of marriage. So, this is the short story of that research.我和阿尔特.阿伦、露西.布朗还有其他同事对37位处在恋爱不同阶段的人的大脑进行了核磁共振测试,其中17位正享受爱情带来的幸福,而15位则刚刚被甩。

我们刚刚开始第三项实验:研究那些在10到25年后仍然处在爱恋中的人们,接下来是关于这项研究的一些介绍。

In the jungles of Guatemala, in Tikal, stands a temple. It was built by the grandest Sun King, of the grandest city-state, of the grandest civilization ofthe Americas, the Mayas. His name was Jasaw Chan K'awiil. He stood over six feet tall. He lived into his 80s, and he was buried beneath this monument in 720 AD. And Mayan inscriptions proclaim that he was deeply in love with his wife. So, he built a temple in her honor, facing his. And every spring and autumn, exactly at the equinox, the sun rises behind his temple, and perfectly bathes her temple with his shadow. And as the sun sets behind her temple in the afternoon, it perfectly bathes his temple with her shadow. After 1,300 years, these two lovers still touch and kiss from their tomb.在危地马拉的丛林深处的提卡尔,矗立着一座神庙。

莫莉ted演讲中英对照my subject today is learning. and in that spirit, i want to spring on you all a pop quiz. ready? when does learning begin? now as you ponder that question, maybe you're thinking about the first day of preschool or kindergarten, the first time that kids are in a classroom with a teacher. or maybe you've called to mind the toddler phase when children are learning how to walk and talk and use a fork. maybe you've encountered the zero-to-three movement, which asserts that the most important years for learning are the earliest ones. and so your answer to my question would be: learning begins at birth.well today i want to present to you an idea that may be surprising and may even seem implausible, but which is supported by the latest evidence from psychology and biology. and that is that some of the most important learning we ever do happens before we're born, while we're still in the womb. now i'm a science reporter. i write books and magazine articles. and i'm also a mother. and those two roles came together for me in a book that i wrote called "origins." "origins" is a report from the front lines of an exciting new field called fetal origins. fetal origins is a scientific discipline that emerged just about two decades ago, and it's based on the theory that our health and well-being throughout our lives is crucially affected by the nine months we spend in the womb. now this theory was of more than just intellectual interest to me. i was myself pregnant while i was doing the research for the book. and one of the most fascinating insights i took from this work is that we're all learning about the world even before we enter it.when we hold our babies for the first time, we might imagine that they're clean slates, unmarked by life, when in fact, they've already been shaped by us and by the particular world we live in. today i want to share with you some of the amazing things that scientists are discovering about what fetuses learn while they're still in their mothers' bellies.first of all, they learn the sound of their mothers' voices. because sounds from the outside world have to travel through the mother's abdominal tissue and through the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus, the voices fetuses hear, starting around the fourth month of gestation, are muted and muffled. one researcher says that they probably sound a lot like the the voice of charlie brown's teacher in the old "peanuts" cartoon. but the pregnant woman's own voice reverberates through her body, reaching the fetus much morereadily. and because the fetus is with her all the time, it hears her voice a lot. once the baby's born, it recognizes her voice and it prefers listening to her voice over anyone else's.how can we know this? newborn babies can't do much, but one thing they're really good at is sucking. researchers take advantage of this fact by rigging up two rubber nipples, so that if a baby sucks on one, it hears a recording of its mother's voice on a pair of headphones, and if it sucks on the other nipple, it hears a recording of a female stranger's voice. babies quickly show their preference by choosing the first one. scientists also take advantage of the fact that babies will slow down their sucking when something intereststhem and resume their fast sucking when they get bored. this is howresearchers discovered that, after women repeatedly read aloud a section of dr. seuss' "the cat in the hat" while they were pregnant, their newborn babies recognized that passage when they hear it outside the womb. my favorite experiment of this kind is the one that showed that the babies of women who watched a certain soap opera every day during pregnancy recognized the theme song of that show once they were born. so fetuses are even learning about the particular language that's spoken in the world that they'll be born into.a study published last year found that from birth, from the moment of birth, babies cry in the accent of their mother's native language. french babies cry on a rising note while german babies end on a falling note,imitating the melodic contours of those languages. now why would this kind of fetal learning be useful? it may have evolved to aid the baby's survival. from the moment of birth, the baby responds most to the voice of the person who is most likely to care for it -- its mother. it even makes its cries sound likethe mother's language, which may further endear the baby to the mother, and which may give the baby a head start in the critical task of learning how to understand and speak its native language.but it's not just sounds that fetuses are learning about in utero. it'salso tastes and smells. by seven months of gestation, the fetus' taste budsare fully developed, and its olfactory receptors, which allow it to smell, are functioning. the flavors of the food a pregnant woman eats find their way into the amniotic fluid, which is continuously swallowed by the fetus. babies seemto remember and prefer these tastes once they're out in the world. in one experiment, a group of pregnant women was asked to drink a lot of carrot juice during their third trimester of pregnancy, while another group of pregnant women drank only water. six months later, the women's infants were offeredcereal mixed with carrot juice, and their facial expressions were observed while they ate it. the offspring of the carrot juice drinking women ate more carrot-flavored cereal, and from the looks of it, they seemed to enjoy it more.a sort of french version of this experiment was carried out in dijon, france where researchers found that mothers who consumed food and drink flavored with licorice-flavored anise during pregnancy showed a preference for anise on their first day of life, and again, when they were tested later, on their fourth day of life. babies whose mothers did not eat anise during pregnancy showed a reaction that translated roughly as "yuck." what this means is that fetuses are effectively being taught by their mothers about what is safe and good to eat. fetuses are also being taught about the particular culture that they'll be joining through one of culture's most powerful expressions, which is food. they're being introduced to the characteristic flavors and spices of their culture's cuisine even before birth.now it turns out that fetuses are learning even bigger lessons. but before i get to that, i want to address something that you may be wondering about.the notion of fetal learning may conjure up for you attempts to enrich the fetus -- like playing mozart through headphones placed on a pregnant belly.but actually, the nine-month-long process of molding and shaping that goes on in the womb is a lot more visceral and consequential than that. much of what a pregnant woman encounters in her daily life -- the air she breathes, the food and drink she consumes, the chemicals she's exposed to, even the emotions she feels -- are shared in some fashion with her fetus. they make up a mix of influences as individual and idiosyncratic as the woman herself. the fetus incorporates these offerings into its own body, makes them part of its flesh and blood. and often it does something more. it treats these maternal contributions as information, as what i like to call biological postcards from the world outside.so what a fetus is learning about in utero is not mozart's "magic flute" but answers to questions much more critical to its survival. will it be born into a world of abundance or scarcity? will it be safe and protected, or will it face constant dangers and threats? will it live a long, fruitful life or a short, harried one? the pregnant woman's diet and stress level in particular provide important clues to prevailing conditions like a finger lifted to the wind. the resulting tuning and tweaking of a fetus' brain and other organs are part of what give us humans our enormous flexibility, our ability to thrive ina huge variety of environments, from the country to the city, from the tundra to the desert.to conclude, i want to tell you two stories about how mothers teach their children about the world even before they're born. in the autumn of , the darkest days of world war ii, german troops blockaded western holland, turning away all shipments of food. the opening of the nazi's siege was followed by one of the harshest winters in decades -- so cold the water in the canals froze solid. soon food became scarce, with many dutch surviving on just calories a day -- a quarter of what they consumed before the war. as weeks of deprivation stretched into months, some resorted to eating tulip bulbs. by the beginning of may, the nation's carefully rationed food reserve was completely exhausted. the specter of mass starvation loomed. and then on may 5th, , the siege came to a sudden end when holland was liberated by the allies.the "hunger winter," as it came to be known, killed some 10, people and weakened thousands more. but there was another population that was affected -- the 40, fetuses in utero during the siege. some of the effects of malnutrition during pregnancy were immediately apparent in higher rates of stillbirths, birth defects, low birth weights and infant mortality. but others wouldn't be discovered for many years. decades after the "hunger winter," researchers documented that people whose mothers were pregnant during the siege have more obesity, more diabetes and more heart disease in later life than individuals who were gestated under normal conditions. these individuals' prenatal experience of starvation seems to have changed their bodies in myriad ways. they have higher blood pressure, poorer cholesterol profiles and reduced glucose tolerance -- a precursor of diabetes.why would undernutrition in the womb result in disease later? one explanation is that fetuses are making the best of a bad situation. when food is scarce, they divert nutrients towards the really critical organ, the brain, and away from other organs like the heart and liver. this keeps the fetusalive in the short-term, but the bill comes due later on in life when those other organs, deprived early on, become more susceptible to disease.but that may not be all that's going on. it seems that fetuses are taking cues from the intrauterine environment and tailoring their physiology accordingly. they're preparing themselves for the kind of world they will encounter on the other side of the womb. the fetus adjusts its metabolism and other physiological processes in anticipation of the environment that awaits it. and the basis of the fetus' prediction is what its mother eats. the mealsa pregnant woman consumes constitute a kind of story, a fairy tale of abundance or a grim chronicle of deprivation. this story imparts information that the fetus uses to organize its body and its systems -- an adaptation to prevailing circumstances that facilitates its future survival. faced with severely limited resources, a smaller-sized child with reduced energy requirements will, in fact, have a better chance of living to adulthood.the real trouble comes when pregnant women are, in a sense, unreliable narrators, when fetuses are led to expect a world of scarcity and are born instead into a world of plenty. this is what happened to the children of the dutch "hunger winter." and their higher rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease are the result. bodies that were built to hang onto every calorie found themselves swimming in the superfluous calories of the post-war western diet. the world they had learned about while in utero was not the same as the world into which they were born.here's another story. at 8:46 a. on september 11th, 20xx, there were tens of thousands of people in the vicinity of the world trade center in new york -- commuters spilling off trains, waitresses setting tables for the morning rush, brokers already working the phones on wall street. 1, of these people were pregnant women. when the planes struck and the towers collapsed, many of these women experienced the same horrors inflicted on other survivors of the disaster -- the overwhelming chaos and confusion, the rolling clouds of potentially toxic dust and debris, the heart-pounding fear for their lives.about a year after 9/11, researchers examined a group of women who were pregnant when they were exposed to the world trade center attack. in the babies of those women who developed post-traumatic stress syndrome, or ptsd, following their ordeal, researchers discovered a biological marker of susceptibility to ptsd -- an effect that was most pronounced in infants whose mothers experienced the catastrophe in their third trimester. in other words, the mothers with post-traumatic stress syndrome had passed on a vulnerability to the condition to their children while they were still in utero.now consider this: post-traumatic stress syndrome appears to be a reaction to stress gone very wrong, causing its victims tremendous unnecessary suffering. but there's another way of thinking about ptsd. what looks like pathology to us may actually be a useful adaptation in some circumstances. in a particularly dangerous environment, the characteristic manifestations of ptsd -- a hyper-awareness of one's surroundings, a quick-trigger response to danger -- could save someone's life. the notion that the prenatal transmissionof ptsd risk is adaptive is still speculative, but i find it rather poignant.it would mean that, even before birth, mothers are warning their children that it's a wild world out there, telling them, "be careful."let me be clear. fetal origins research is not about blaming women forwhat happens during pregnancy. it's about discovering how best to promote the health and well-being of the next generation. that important effort mustinclude a focus on what fetuses learn during the nine months they spend in the womb. learning is one of life's most essential activities, and it begins much earlier than we ever imagined.thank you.imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3, ft. imagine a plane fullof smoke. imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. it sounds scary.想像一个大爆炸,当你在三千多英尺的高空;想像机舱内布满黑烟,想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响,听起来很可怕。

这个小视频也很适合学习地道英语口语表达和练习听力,一起看看吧!相守真实相爱支持彼此成为更好的人Ah, romantic love-beautiful and intoxicating,heartbreaking and soul-crushing,often all at the same time.Why do we choose to put ourselves through its emotional wringer?Does love make our lives meaningful,or is it an escape from our loneliness and suffering?Is love a disguise for our sexual desire,or a trick of biology to make us procreate?Is it all we need?Do we need it at all?If romantic love has a purpose,neither science nor psychology has discovered it yet.But over the course of history,some of our most respected philosophers have put forward some intriguing theories.Love makes us whole, again.The ancient Greek philosopher Platoexplored the idea that we love in order to become complete.In his 'Symposium', he wrote about a dinner party,at which Aristophanes, a comic playwright,regales the guests with the following story:humans were once creatures with four arms, four legs, and two faces.One day, they angered the gods,and Zeus sliced them all in two.Since then, every person has been missing half of him or herself.Love is the longing to find a soulmate who'll make us feel whole again,or, at least, that's whatPlato believed a drunken comedian would say at a party.Love tricks us into having babies.Much, much later, German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauermaintained that love based in sexual desirewas a voluptuous illusion.He suggested that we love because our desires lead us to believethat another person will make us happy, but we are sorely mistaken.Nature is tricking us into procreating,and the loving fusion we seek is consummated in our children.When our sexual desires are satisfied,we are thrown back into our tormented existences,and we succeed only in maintaining the speciesand perpetuating the cycle of human drudgery.Sounds like somebody needs a hug.Love is escape from our loneliness.According to the Nobel Prize-winning British philosopher Bertrand Russell,we love in order to quench our physical and psychological desires.Humans are designed to procreate,but without the ecstasy of passionate love,sex is unsatisfying.Our fear of the cold, cruel world tempts us to build hard shellsto protect and isolate ourselves.Love's delight, intimacy, and warmth helps us overcome our fear of the world,escape our lonely shells,and engage more abundantly in life.Love enriches our whole being, making it the best thing in life.Love is a misleading affliction.Siddhārtha Gautama,who became known as the Buddha, or the Enlightened One,probably would have had some interesting arguments with Russell.Buddha proposed that we love because we are trying to satisfy our base desires.Yet, our passionate cravings are defects,and attachments, even romantic love, are a great source of suffering.Luckily, Buddha discovered the eight-fold path,a sort of program for extinguishing the fires of desireso that we can reach Nirvana,an enlightened state of peace, clarity, wisdom, and compassion.The novelist Cao Xueqin illustrated this Buddhist sentimentthatromantic love is folly in one of China's greatest classical novels,'Dream of the Red Chamber.'In a subplot, Jia Rui falls in love with Xi-fengwho tricks and humiliates him.Conflicting emotions of love and hate tear him apart,so a taoist gives him a magic mirror that can cure himas long as he doesn't look at the front of it.But of course, he looks at the front of it.He sees Xi-feng.His soul enters the mirrorand he is dragged away in iron chains to die.Not all Buddhists think this way about romantic and erotic love,but the moral of this storyis that such attachments spell tragedy,and should, along with magic mirrors, be avoided.Love lets us reach beyond ourselves.Let's end on a slightly more positive note.The French philosopher Simone de Beauvoirproposed that love is the desire to integrate with anotherand that it infuses our lives with meaning.However, she was less concerned with why we loveand more interested in how we can love better.She saw that the problem with traditional romantic loveis it can be so captivating,that we are tempted to make it our only reason for being.Yet, dependence on another to justify our existenceeasily leads to boredom and power games.To avoid this trap, Beauvoir advised loving authentically,which is more like a great friendship.Lovers support each other in discovering themselves,reaching beyond themselves,and enriching their lives and the world together.Though we might never know why we fall in love,we can be certain that it will be an emotional rollercoaster ride.It's scary and exhilarating.It makes us sufferand makes us soar.Maybe we lose ourselves.Maybe we find ourselves.It might be heartbreaking,or it might just be the best thing in life.Will you dare to find out?第二篇:(TED英文演讲)为球鞋疯狂——观后感“Be Crazy about sneakers.”————Feedback Almostevery basketball fan is dreaming about getting one pair of sneakers of famous brands, like Air Jordan series.Many of them are constantly dedicated to their collections of various sneakers.But through the speaker’s ideas, a clear marketing network emerged, which was seemingly invisible before.All of us who are fond of collecting limited-edition shoes may not realize that we are part of the market itself, although it isn’t a market at all.This is incredible, but it really exists.Basketball fans are enthusiastic about their beloved stars, and the sneakers endorsed by stars are to support their craze, which means a brilliant commercial opportunity to shoes’ industry.And the brand Nike was one of the biggest owners of profits from its sneakers, it is still earning money from us, and it will be as long as the devotion to basketball stars don’t fade away.In short, the intangible beneficial network is a successful example for sports industry.But what if they improve their commercial system? There will be more profits.Anyway, we can learn a lot from this and utilize what we got.第三篇:(TED英文演讲)机器会抢走我们的工作吗?——观后感“Would machines replace humankind in the future?”——Feedback Key words: beauty and efficiency.There’s always all sorts of debates about relationships between machines and human beings.Needless to say, we never lose.Obviously, all of us are supposed to be unique and irreplaceable, which is exactly opposite to machines.Though many advantages of machinery such as the high speed and accuracy are convinced even admired, we are still dominating the world, not robots.Emotion and diversity, these are inherently human characteristics that machines never obtain, at least now and near future.So, in case of displacement by machines, we must acquire and promote anew aesthetic and sentimental education according to the speaker.As the speaker said, “In the face of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we need a new radical humanism.”On the whole, beauty can save the world when we embrace these principles and design for them.Machines do have the necessity of their existence, but we can not be taken the place. 第四篇:(TED英文演讲)我们能战胜贫穷吗?——观后感Can we conquer poverty? —— Feedback In this lecture, the speaker’s statements really shocked me.He believed that the greatest failure of the human race was the fact that we had left more than one billion of our members behind.Extreme poverty were figured out as the most difficult problemneeded to solve.But there isn’t nothing to do for us.Like the speaker claimed that we have several methods to fight against poverty.First of all, there’s a fact we shouldn’t ignore is that most of the world’s poor people are farmers.You can imagine how powerful this is when farmers become more productive, then more than half the world’s poor earn more mon ey and climb out of poverty.We only have two ways we can feed the world’s population.we can either make our present farmland more productive or we can clean out forests and make them new farmlands instead, which would be environmentally disastrous.It’s und eniable that farmers stand at the center of the world because of the significance of agriculture.Next, many farmers who live far away from the modern society can’t get even a little bit of scientific knowledge they needed in their fields.They also lack effective access to basic tools.To overcome such dilemma, actually we have settled these troubles in theory a century ago.We can genetically convert two normal plants into a new productive species through advanced technologies.But thehardest part is delivery of these tools extreme poverty.We need the world’s companies, governments and non-profits set up delivery networks for life-improving goods to eliminate poverty.If we can get our food by take-outs, or receive our deliveries through expressage, then it’s p ossible for those farmers who live in remote places to get more basic tools and useful knowledge st but not the least, we need to strength our wills to insist on helping farmers in a long period of time, giving sustainable strategies to make themselves jump out of extreme poverty.Everybody is exceptional people, so it’s unreasonable to left over one billion people behind while developing our society.Until everyone has an opportunity to gain his full human potential, can we become a truly moral and just human race.Let us to deliver an end to extreme poverty in our lifetime.生词gigantic insurmountable solvablelean ondisastrous dilemma humble scalable territory pursue constraint exceptional deploy第五篇:(TED英文演讲)防患于未然——观后感“Presence of mind”——Feedback Key words: stress pre-mortem ahead of time According to the lecture, our brain under stress releases cortisol, and one of the things that happens at the moment is a whole bunch on systems shut down.Few of us can remain rational and logical thinking while facing stressful things, so it is of great significance to think them over before their appearances.We need to train ourselves to think ahead to these kind of situations.And the conception which the speaker put forward is pre-mortem.The idea of the pre-mortem is to think ahead of time to the questions that you might be able to ask that will push the conversation forward.You look ahead, try to figureout all the things that could go wrong and then try to figure out what you can do to prevent those things from happening or to minimize the damage.Prevent bad things from happening.Or at least if bad things happen, we will minimize the likelihood of it being a catastrophe.Under stress we are not thinking clearly.We need to train ourselves to think ahead to these kind of situations.So think about how you are going to work through this ahead of time, so you don’t have to manufacture the chain of reasoning on the spot.You might change your mind on impulse, but at least you are practiced with this kind of thinking.。

演讲者:Hannah Fry演讲稿Today I want to talk to you about the mathematics of love. Now, I think that we can all agree that mathematicians are famously excellent at finding love.But it's not just because of our dashing personalities, superior conversational skills and excellent pencil cases. It's also because we've actually done an awful lot of work into the maths of how to find the perfect partner.今天我想要和大家谈谈关于爱情的数学。

我想大家都同意数学家在寻找真爱上特别在行。

但那并不是是因为我们精力充沛的性格,超凡的对话技巧,和极好的笔盒。

也是因为我们真的花了许多时间精力在数学上,计算如何找到完美的伴侣。

Now, in my favorite paper on the subject, which is entitled,"Why I Don't Have a Girlfriend" --Peter Backus tries to rate his chances of finding love. Now, Peter's not a very greedy man. Of all of the available women in the UK, all Peter's looking for is somebody who lives near him, somebody in the right age range, somebody with a university degree, somebody he's likely to get on well with, somebody who's likely to be attractive, somebody who's likely to find him attractive.And comes up with an estimate of 26 women in the whole of the UK.It's not looking very good, is it Peter? Now, just to put that into perspective, that's about 400 times fewer than the best estimates of how many intelligent extraterrestrial life forms there are. And it also gives Peter a 1 in 285,000 chance of bumping into any one of these special ladies on a given night out. I'd like to think that's why mathematicians don't really bother going on nights out anymore.现在,在此学科中我最爱的论文,名为“为什么我没有女友”(笑声) Peter Backus试着计算他寻得真爱的机会。

TED演讲系列双语稿(如何更好地讨论爱情)

TED演讲系列文稿---如何更好的讨论爱情(曼迪*兰*凯特论)英语版;Ok,so today I want to talk about how we talk about love .And specifically,I want to talk about what’s wrong whit how we talk about love.Most of us will probably fall in love a few times over the course of our lives,and in the English language,this metaphor,falling,is really the main way what we talk about that experience. I don ’t know how about you ,but when I conceptualize this metaphor what I picture is straight out of a cartoon,like this is a man ,he’s walking down the sidewalk ,without realizing it ,he crosses over an open manhole,and he just plummets into the sewer below. And I picture it this way because falling is not jumping . falling is accidental,it’s uncontrollable, it’s something that happens to us without our consent .And this , this is the main way we talk about starting a new relationship.I am a writer and I’m also an English teacher, which means I think about words for a living. You could say that I get paid to argue that the language we use matters,and I would like to argue that many of the metaphors we use to talk about love,maybe even most of them are a problem. So ,in love ,we fall,we struck,we are crushed,we swoon .We burn with passion. Love makes us crazy,and it makes us sick.our hearts ache ,and then they break .So our metaphor equate the experience of loving someone to extreme violence or illness .They do. And they position us as the victims of unforeseen and totally unavoidable circumstances of unforeseen and totally unavoidable circumstances.My favorite one of these is “smitten’’ which is past participle of the word “smite’’.And if you look this word up in the dictionary, you will see it can be defined as both “grievous affliction” and “ to be very much in love .’’ I tend to associate the word “smite” with a very particular context, which is the old testament .In the Book of Exodus alone ,there are 16 references to smiting,which is the word that the Bible uses for the vengeance of an angry God. Here we are using the same word to talk about love that we use to explain a plague of locusts.Right?So,how did this happen? How have we come to associate love with great pain and suffering ? And why do we talk about this ostensibly good experience as if we are victims? These a difficult questions,but I have some theories. And to think this though, I want to focus on one metaphor in particular ,which is the idea of love as madness. When I first started researching romantic love ,I found these madness metaphor everywhere. The history of western culture is full of language that equates love to mental illness. These are just a few example.William Shakespeare; ‘’Love is merely a madness,”from “As you like it“ Friedrich Nietzsche; “There is always some madness in love. “Got me looking ,got me looking so crazy in love” from the great philosopher,Beyonce Knowles.I fell in love for the first time when I was 20, and it was a pretty turbulent relationship right from the start . And it was long distance for the first couple of years,so for me the meant very high highs and very low lows. I can remember onemoment in particular. I was sitting on a bed in a hostel in South America, and i was watching the person I love walk out the door .And it was late, it was nearly midnight,we’d gotten into an argument over dinner,and when we got back to our room,he threw his things in the bag and stormed out . While I can on longer remember what that argument was about, I very clearly remember how I felt watching him leave. I was 22,it was my first time in the developing world, and I was totally alone . I had another week until my flight home, and I knew the name of the town that I was in, and the name of the city that I needed to get to fly out, but I had no idea how to get ground. I had no guidebook and very little money,and I speak no Spanish. Someone more adventurous than me might have seen this as a moment of opportunity, but I just froze. I just sat there. And then I burst in to tears.But despite my panic,some small voice in my head thought, “Wow. That was dramatic. I must really be doing this love thing right.” Because some part of me wanted to feel miserable in love. And is sounds so strange to me now ,but at 22, I longed to have dramatic experiences,and in that moment, I was irrational and furious and devastated, and weirdly enough,I thought that this somehow legitimized the feelings I had for the guy who had just lest me . I think on some level I wanted to feel a little bit crazy, because I thought that was how love worked.This really should not be surprising, considering that according to Wikipedia, there are eight films, 14 songs, two albums and one novel with the title “Crazy Love.” About half an hour later ,he came back to our room. We made up. We spent another mostly happy week traveling together. And then ,when I got home, I thought, “That was so terrible and so great. This must be a real romance.”I expected my first love to feel like madness, and of course,it met that expectation very well, But loving someone like that as if my entire well-being depended on him loving me back was not very good for me.of for him. But I suspect this experience of love is not that unusual. Most of us do feel a bit mad in the early stages of romantic love. In fact,there is research to confirm that this is somewhat normal, because ,neurochemically speaking, romantic love and mental illness are not that easily distinguished. This is truce .This study form 1999 use blood tests. To confirm that the serotonin levels of the newly in love very closely resembled the serotonin levels of people who had been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Yes,and low levels of serotonin are also associated with seasonal affective disorder and depression. So there is some evidence that love is associated with changes to our moods and our behaviors.And there are other studies to confirm that most relationships being this way . Researchers believe that the low levels of serotonin is correlated with obsessive thinking about the object of love, which is like this feeling that someone has up camp in your brain.And most of us feel this way when we first fall in love. But the good news is , it doesn’t last that long usually from a few months to a couple of years. When I go back from my trip to South America, I spent a lot of time alone in my room, checking my email, desperate to hear from the guy I loved. I decided that if my friends could not understand my grievous affliction, then I not need their friendship. So i stopped hanging out with most of them. And it was probably themost unhappy year of my life. But I think I felt like it was my job to be miserable, because if I could be miserable,then I would prove how much I loved him. And if could prove it,then we would have to end up together eventually. This is the real madness, because there is no cosmic rule that says that great suffering equals great reward ,but we about love as if this is true.Our experiences of love are both biological and cultural. Our biology tell us that love is good by activating these reward circuits in our brain ,and it tells us that love is painful when,after a fight or a breakup that neurochemical reward is withdrawn.And in fact ,and maybe you’ve heard this neurochemically speaking,going through a breakup is a lot like going through cocaine withdrawal,which I find reassuring. And then our culture uses language to shape and reinforce these ideas about love. In this case ,we’re talking about metaphors about pain and addiction and madness. It’s kind of an interesting feedback loop. Love is powerful and at times painful,and we express this in our world and stories,but then our words and stories prime us to expect love to be powerful and painful. What’s interesting to me is that all of this happens in a culture that values lifelong monogamy.It seems like we want it both ways; we want love to feel like madness, and we want it to last an entire lifetime.That sounds terrible. To reconcile this, we need to either change our culture or change our expectations. So,imagine if we were all less passive in love. If we were more assertive, more open- minded, more generous and instead of falling in love,we stepped into love.I know that this is asking a lot, but I’m not actually the first person to suggest this. In their book, “Metaphors We Live By, linguists Mark Johnson and George Lakoff suggest a really interesting solution to this dilemma,which is to change our metaphors. They argue that metaphors really do shape the way we experience the world,and that they can act as guide for future actions, like self -fulfilling prophecies. Johnson and Lakoff suggest a new metaphor for love;love as a collaborative work of art. I really like this way of thinking about love. Linguists talk about metaphors as having entailment, Which is essentially a way of considering all the implications of, or ideas contained within, a given metaphor. And johnson and Lakoff talk about everying that collaborating on a work of art entails;effort,compromise,patience,share goals. These idea align nicely with our cultural investment in long-term romantic commitment, but they also work well for other kinds of relationships , short-term, casual, polyamorous, non-monogamous , asexual because this metaphor brings much more complex idea to the experience of loving someone. So if love is a collaborative work of art, then love is an aesthetic experience . Love is unpredictable , love is creative, love requires communication and discipline,it is frustrating and emotionally demanding.And love involves both joy and pain. Ultimately,each experience of love is different.When I was younger, it never occurred to me that I was allowed to demand more from love, that I didn’t have to just accept whatever love offered. When 14-year-old Juliet first meets or,when 14-year-old JULIET cannot be with Romeo, whom she has met four days ago, she does not feel disappointed or angsty.Whereis she? She wants to die. Right? And just as a refresher,at this point in the play,act three of five, Romeo is not dead.He’s alive, he’s healthy,he’s just been banished from the city. I understand that 16th-century Verona is unlike contemporary North America, and yet when I first read this play,also 14, Juliet’s suffering made sense to me. Reframing love as something I got to create with someone I admire, rather than something that just happens to me without my control or consent, is empowering. It’s still hard. Love still feels totally maddening and crushing some days, and when I feel really frustrated, I have to remind myself; my job in this relationship is to talk to my partner about what I want to make together. This isn’t easy , either. But it’s just so much better than the alternative, which is that thing that feels like madness. This version of love is not about winning or losing someone’s affection. Instead ,it requires that you trust your partner and talk about things when trusting feels difficult, which sounds so simple, but is actually a kind of revolutionary,radical act. This is because you get to stop thinking about yourself and what you’re gaining or losing in your relations, and you get start thinking about what you have to offer. This version of love allows us to say things like, “Hey, we’re not very good collaborators.Maybe this isn’t for us.” Or, “That relationship was shorter than I had planned, but it was still kind of beautiful.” The beautiful thing about the collaborative work of art is that it will not paint or draw or sculpt itself. This version of love allows us to decide what it looks like. Thank you.中文版;好的,今天我想谈谈我们谈论爱情的方法,具体来说,就是讨论一下我们谈论爱情时犯的错误。

感情的磁场:彼此间的吸引与凝聚英文演讲稿范文

感情的磁场:彼此间的吸引与凝聚英文演讲稿范文Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you to discuss a topic that is not only universally experienced, but also deeply fascinating –the magnetic field of emotions. Just like the invisible force that guides compass needles, our emotions have the power to attract and bond individuals in inexplicable ways. Whether it is the magnetic pull between friends, lovers, or even strangers, the emotional field that surrounds us all can be both enthralling and captivating.Emotions, in their essence, are the raw energy that drives our actions, thoughts, and interactions with the world around us. They are the intangible forces that can make us laugh, cry, scream, or fall in love. But what is it thatcreates the magnetism between two individuals? Is it a shared interest, a sense of empathy, or simply fate?Allow me to present a scenario that many of us have experienced – meeting a new friend. It may start with a simple conversation, a shared laugh, or even a common interest. However, as the connection deepens, we can feel an undeniable pull towards this person. This magnetic attraction may stem from similar life experiences, shared values, or complementary personalities. It is this emotional field that draws two souls together, creating a bond that is difficult to explain but profound in its impact.Similarly, in romantic relationships, the magnetic field of emotions is often the driving force behind their formation and longevity. We have all heard stories of two people meeting and instantly feeling an unexplainable chemistry. It is as if their spirits recognize each other, and their souls are bound by an invisible thread. This magnetic attractioncan be the result of physical attraction, a deep sense of understanding, or simply an indescribable feeling of completeness in each other's presence.However, it is important to note that emotions and their magnetic field are not limited to positive experiences. Sometimes, we may find ourselves drawn to individuals who challenge us, who make us question our beliefs and assumptions. The emotional pull between opposing forces canbe equally powerful, sparking personal growth and transformation. Just like magnets with opposite poles, we are drawn to people who offer us a different perspective and encourage us to expand our worldview.In conclusion, the magnetic field of emotions is acomplex and mysterious phenomenon. It is an intricatetapestry that weaves together friendships, love, and personal growth. Whether it is the magnetic attraction between friends, the unexplainable chemistry between lovers, or thefascination with someone who challenges our beliefs, emotions play a profound role in shaping our connections with others. As we navigate through life, let us embrace the power of these emotional forces and appreciate the beauty they bring to our relationships.Thank you.。

Ted演讲:爱情魔力背后隐藏的秘密中英对照I and my colleagues Art Aron and Lucy Brown and others, have put 37 people who are madly in love into a functional MRI brain scanner. 17 who were happily in love, 15 who had just been dumped, and we're just starting our third experiment: studying people who report that they're still in love after 10 to 25 years of marriage. So, this is the short story of that research.我和阿尔特.阿伦、露西.布朗还有其他同事对37位处在恋爱不同阶段的人的大脑进行了核磁共振测试,其中17位正享受爱情带来的幸福,而15位则刚刚被甩。

我们刚刚开始第三项实验:研究那些在10到25年后仍然处在爱恋中的人们,接下来是关于这项研究的一些介绍。

In the jungles of Guatemala, in Tikal, stands a temple. It was built by the grandest Sun King, of the grandest city-state, of the grandest civilization ofthe Americas, the Mayas. His name was Jasaw Chan K'awiil. He stood over six feet tall. He lived into his 80s, and he was buried beneath this monument in 720 AD. And Mayan inscriptions proclaim that he was deeply in love with his wife. So, he built a temple in her honor, facing his. And every spring and autumn, exactly at the equinox, the sun rises behind his temple, and perfectly bathes her temple with his shadow. And as the sun sets behind her temple in the afternoon, it perfectly bathes his temple with her shadow. After 1,300 years, these two lovers still touch and kiss from their tomb.在危地马拉的丛林深处的提卡尔,矗立着一座神庙。

它由史上最显贵的太阳王建造,位于最壮丽的城邦,代表着美洲最伟大的古文明——玛雅。

这位君王,名曰Jasaw Chan K'awiil,他体型魁梧,并活到了八十余岁,在公元720葬于提卡尔神庙。

按照玛雅碑文的说法,他深爱着他的妻子。

他为妻子修建了一座神庙,正对着提卡尔神庙。

每到春分或秋分,太阳在提卡尔神庙后升起,而他妻子的神庙便浸浴在拖长的影子中。

到了下午落日之时,他妻子的神庙的影子也会完全遮罩在提卡尔神庙上。

直到1300年后的今天,这对恋人的陵墓依旧互相拥抱、亲吻。

Around the world, people love. They sing for love,they dance for love, they compose poems and stories about love. They tell myths and legends about love. They pine for love, they live for love, they kill for love, and they die for love. As Walt Whitman once said, he said, "Oh, I would stake all for you." Anthropologists have found evidence of romantic love in 170 societies. They've never found a society that did not have it.世界各地的人都有不同的爱情。

人们为爱情歌唱,人们因爱情起舞,人们通过诗赋和故事来抒发爱情。

人们讲述关于爱情的神话和传说。

人们渴望爱情,因爱而生,人们为爱着迷,甚至为爱而死。

沃尔特.惠特曼曾说过: "我愿意为你赌上我的一切!" 人类学家在170个社会中发现了爱情存在的证据。

爱情普遍地存在于每一个人类社会。

But love isn't always a happy experience. In one study of college students, they asked a lot of questions about love, but the two that stood out to me the most were, "Have you ever been rejected by somebody who you really loved?" And the second question was, "Have you ever dumped somebody who really loved you?" And almost 95 percent of both men and women said yes to both. Almost nobody gets out of love alive.但爱情并不总是愉快的经历。

在一项针对大学生的调查中,他们提出了很多关于爱情的问题,其中的两个特别让我印象深刻,一个是"你曾经被你真心爱着的人拒绝过吗?" 而另一个则是 "你曾经拒绝过真心爱着你的人吗?" 对于这两个问题,有95%的人作出了肯定的答复。

要活着走出爱情几乎是不可能的。

So, before I start telling you about the brain, I want to read for you what I think is the most powerful love poem on Earth. There's other love poems that are, of course, just as good, but I don't think this one can be surpassed. It was told by an anonymous Kwakiutl Indian of southern Alaska to a missionary in 1896, and here it is. I've never had the opportunity to say it before. "Fire runs through my body with the pain of loving you. Pain runs through my body with the fires of my love for you. Pain like a boil about to burst with my love for you, consumed by fire with my love for you.那么,在开始讲述关于大脑的事情前,我要读一段在我看来最富深情的情诗。

当然,很多情诗都很不错,但我认为它们都无法超越这首。

在1896年的南阿拉斯加,一位不知名的夸扣特尔印第安人把它讲述给了一名传教士。

这是我第一次当众读它。

"爱你之痛如熊熊烈焰穿透我的身体; 对你如火一般的热恋让疼痛贯穿我的身体。

痛楚如沸水,饱含我对你的爱,爱的火焰将其蒸发殆尽。

I remember what you said to me. I am thinking of your love for me. I am torn by your love for me. Pain and more pain -- where are you going with my love? I am told you will go from here. I am told you will leave me here. My body is numb with grief. Remember what I said, my love. Goodbye, my love, goodbye." Emily Dickinson once wrote, "Parting is all we need to know of hell." How many people have suffered in all the millions of years of human evolution? How many people around the world are dancing with elation at this very minute? Romantic love is one of the most powerful sensations on Earth.我仍记得你对我说的话,我想着你对我的爱,它将我的躯体撕裂。

疼痛,更多的疼痛,你要把我的爱带至何处? 你对我说,你将从这里出发; 你对我说,你将在这儿把我遗弃。

我因此悲痛,因此失去知觉。

带上我的只言片语,我的爱人! 再见,吾爱,再见! 艾米莉.狄金森曾写道, "人因离别而品尝地狱" 在人类百万余年的进化过程中,有多少人曾遭受这样的痛苦? 而此时此刻,世界各地又有多少人在尽情跳舞? 爱情是世上最有力的感情。
