JaneMcGonigal_2012G-_能让你多出10年额外寿命的游戏_
I'm a gamer , so I like to have goals. [00:12]
gamer:n.玩家,博弈者;
I like special missions and secret objectives . [00:16]
missions:n.任务; v.给…交代任务; (mission的复数) objectives:n.目的(objective的复数形式);目标;宗旨;
So here's my special mission for this talk: [00:21]
I'm going to try to increase the life span of every single person in this room by seven and a half minutes. [00:24]
span:n.持续时间; v.持续;
Literally , you will live seven and half minutes longer than you would have otherwise, just because you watched this talk. [00:31]
Literally:adv.按字面:字面上:确实地:
Okay, some of you are looking a little bit skeptical . [00:38]
skeptical:adj.怀疑的;怀疑论的,不可知论的;
That's okay, because check it out -- [00:41]
I have math to prove that it is possible. [00:43]
And it won't make a lot of sense now. [00:45]
I'll explain it all later, just pay attention to the number at the bottom: plus-7.68245837 minutes that will be my gift to you if I'm successful in my mission. [00:47]
pay attention to:注意
Now, you have a secret mission too. [00:58]
Your mission is to figure out how you want to spend your extra seven and a half minutes. [01:01]
extra:adj.额外的:n.额外的事物:adv.额外:另外:
And I think you should do something unusual with them, because these are bonus minutes. You weren't going to have them anyway. [01:07]
Now, because I'm a game designer, you might be thinking to yourself, [01:12]
I know what she wants us to do with those minutes, she wants us to spend them playing games. [01:16]
Now this is a totally reasonable assumption , given that I have made quite a habit of encouraging people to spend more time playing games. [01:21]
reasonable:adj.合理的,公道的;通情达理的; assumption:n.假定;设想;担任;采取;
For example, in my first TEDTalk, [01:28]
I did propose that we should spend 21 billion hours a week as a planet playing video games. [01:30]
propose:v.建议;提议;求婚;打算;
Now, 21 billion hours, it's a lot of time. [01:37]
It's so much time, in fact, that the number one unsolicited comment that I have heard from people all over the world since I gave that talk, is this: [01:40]
unsolicited:adj.未经请求的;主动提供的;
Jane, games are great and all, but on your deathbed , are you really going to wish you spent more time playing Angry Birds? [01:49]
deathbed:n.临终之时;临死所卧之床;adj.临终时作的;
This idea is so pervasive -- that games are a waste of time that we will come to regret -- that I hear it literally everywhere I go. [01:57]
pervasive:adj.普遍的;到处渗透的;流行的;
For example, true story: Just a few weeks ago, this cab driver, upon finding out that a friend and I were in town for a game developer's conference , turned around and said -- and I quote -- [02:05]
conference:n.会议;研讨会;商讨会;体育协会(或联合会) quote:v.引用;报价;举例说明;开价;为(企业的股份)上市;n.引用;
'"I hate games. Waste of life. Imagine getting to the end of your life and regretting all that time." [02:15]
Now, I want to take this problem seriously. [02:24]
I mean, I want games to be a force for good in the world. [02:27]
I don't want gamers to regret the time they spent playing, time that I encouraged them to spend. [02:29]
gamers:n.游戏玩家;
So I have been thinking about this question a lot lately. [02:34]
When we're on our deathbeds , will we regret the time we spent playing games? [02:37]
deathbeds:n.临终之时;临死所卧之床;adj.临终时作的;
Now, this may surprise you, but it turns out there is actually some scientific research on this question. [02:43]
scientific:adj.科学的,系统的;
It's true. Hospice workers, the people who take care of us at the end of our lives, recently issued a report on the most frequently expressed regrets that people say when they are literally on their deathbeds. [02:49]
Hospice:n.收容所;旅客招待所;救济院; recently:adv.最近;新近; issued:v.宣布;公布;发出;将…诉诸法律;(issue的过去分词和过去式) frequently:adv.频繁地,经常地;时常,屡次; expressed:v.表示;表达;显而易见;不言自明;(express的过去分词和过去式)
And that's what I want to share with you today -- the top five regrets of the dying. [03:03]
Number one: I wish I hadn't worked so hard. [03:10]
Number two: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. [03:17]
in touch with:同…有联系,和…有接触;
Number three: I wish I had let myself be happier. [03:23]
Number four: I wish I'd had the courage to express my true self. [03:29]
And number five: I wish I'd lived a life true to my dreams, instead of what others expected of me. [03:36]
Now, as far as I know , no one ever told one of the hospice workers, [03:44]
as far as I know:据我所知;就我所知;
I wish I'd spent more time playing video games, but when I hear these top five regrets of the dying, [03:47]
I can't help but hear five deep human cravings that games actually help us fulfill . [03:53]
cravings:n.渴望(craving的复数); fulfill:v.执行,贯彻;完成,实现;兑现;达到;起到;
For example, I wish I hadn't worked so hard. [03:58]
For many people, this means, I wish I'd spent more time with my family, with my kids when they were growing up. [04:00]
Well, we know that playing games together has tremendous family benefits. [04:05]
tremendous:adj.极大的,巨大的;惊人的;极好的;
A recent study from Brigham Young University [04:10]
School of Family life reported that parents who spend more time playing video games with their kids have much stronger real-life relationships with them. [04:12]
real-life:adj.现实的;实在的;
I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends. [04:22]
Well, hundreds of millions of people use social games like FarmVille or Words With Friends to stay in daily contact with real-life friends and family. [04:24]
contact:n.接触,联系;v.使接触,联系;
A recent study from [University of Michigan] showed that these games are incredibly powerful relationship-management tools. [04:33]
incredibly:adv.难以置信地;非常地;
They help us stay connected with people in our social network that we would otherwise grow distant from, if we weren't playing games together. [04:42]
distant:adj.遥远的;远处的;久远的;
I wish I'd let myself be happier. [04:51]
Well, here I can't help but think of the groundbreaking clinical trials recently conducted at East Carolina University that showed that online games can outperform pharmaceuticals for treating clinical anxiety and depression . [04:53]
groundbreaking:adj.开创性的;创新的;革新的 clinical:adj.临床的;诊所的; conducted:v.组织;安排;实施;执行;指挥;带领;引导;(conduct的过去分词和过去式) Carolina:n.卡罗莱纳州(在美国东南部); outperform:vt.胜过;做得比…好; pharmaceuticals:n.药物(pharmaceutical的复数); treating:v.以…态度对待;把…看作;处理;讨论;(treat的现在分词) anxiety:n.焦虑;渴望;挂念;令人焦虑的事; depression:n.沮丧;洼地;不景气;忧愁;
Just 30 minutes of online game play a day was enough to create dramatic boosts in mood and long-term increases in happiness. [05:06]
dramatic:adj.突然的;巨大的;令人吃惊的;激动人心的; boosts:增加; mood:n.情绪,语气;心境;气氛; long-term:adj.长期的;从长远来看;
I wish I'd had the courage to express my true self. [05:15]
Well, avatars are a way to express our true selves, our most heroic , idealized version of who we might become. [05:20]
avatars:n.神使;头像;形象化符号;(avatar的复数) heroic:adj.英雄的;英勇的;记叙英雄及其事迹的;夸张的;n.史诗;英勇行为; idealized:v.将…视为理想;将…理想化;(idealize的过去式和过去分词)
You can see that in this alter ego portrait by Robbie Cooper of a gamer with his avatar. [05:26]
alter ego:n.第二自我;至交;知己;挚友; portrait:n.肖像;描写;半身雕塑像;
And Stanford University has been doing research for five years now to document how playing a game with an idealized avatar changes how we think and act in real life, making us more courageous , more ambitious , more committed to our goals. [05:33]
courageous:adj.有胆量的,勇敢的; ambitious:adj.野心勃勃的;有雄心的;热望的;炫耀的; committed:adj.坚信的; v.做出错事; (commit的过去分词和过去式)
I wish I'd led a life true to my dreams, and not what others expected of me. [05:50]
Are games doing this yet? I'm not sure, so I've left a question mark , a Super Mario question mark. [05:54]
question mark:abbr.(=questionstop)疑问号;n.问号;
And we're going to come back to this one. [05:58]
But in the mean time , perhaps you're wondering, who is this game designer to be talking to us about deathbed regrets? [06:00]
But in the mean time:但同时;
And it's true, I've never worked in a hospice, [06:09]
I've never been on my deathbed. [06:12]
But recently I did spend three months in bed, wanting to die. [06:15]
Really wanting to die. [06:21]
Now let me tell you that story. [06:23]
It started two years ago, when I hit my head and got a concussion . [06:25]
concussion:n.冲击;震荡;脑震荡;
Now the concussion didn't heal properly, and after 30 days I was left with symptoms like nonstop headaches, nausea , vertigo , memory loss, mental fog. [06:29]
heal:v.复原;治疗(病人);使又愉快起来;(使)结束 symptoms:n.症状;征候;征兆;(symptom的复数) nonstop:adj.直达的;不休息的;不着陆的;n.直达车;adv.不休息地; nausea:n.恶心,晕船;极端的憎恶; vertigo:n.眩晕:头晕目眩: mental:adj.精神的;脑力的;疯的;n.精神病患者;
My doctor told me that in order to heal my brain, [06:38]
I had to rest it. [06:41]
So I had to avoid everything that triggered my symptoms. [06:42]
triggered:v.发动;引起;触发;开动;起动;(trigger的过去分词和过去式)
For me that meant no reading, no writing, no video games, no work or email, no running, no alcohol , no caffeine . [06:44]
alcohol:n.酒精;乙醇;含酒精饮料; caffeine:n.[有化][药]咖啡因;茶精(兴奋剂);
In other words -- and I think you see where this is going -- no reason to live. [06:50]
Of course it's meant to be funny, but in all seriousness , suicidal ideation is quite common with traumatic brain injuries . [06:55]
seriousness:n.严重性;严肃;认真; suicidal:adj.自杀的,自杀性的;自我毁灭的;自取灭亡的; ideation:n.构思能力,思维能力;构思过程; injuries:n.伤害,损伤;挫伤;(injury的复数)
It happens to one in three, and it happened to me. [07:03]
My brain started telling me, Jane, you want to die. [07:06]
It said, you're never going to get better. [07:11]
It said, the pain will never end. [07:14]
And these voices became so persistent and so persuasive that I started to legitimately fear for my life, which is the time that I said to myself after 34 days -- and I will never forget this moment -- [07:18]
persistent:adj.固执的,坚持的;持久稳固的; persuasive:adj.有说服力的;劝诱的,劝说的; legitimately:adv.合理地;正当地;
I said, I am either going to kill myself or I'm going to turn this into a game. [07:35]
Now, why a game? [07:41]
I knew from researching the psychology of games for more than a decade that when we play a game -- and this is in the scientific literature -- we tackle tough challenges with more creativity, more determination , more optimism , and we're more likely to reach out to others for help. [07:42]
psychology:n.心理学;心理状态; literature:n.文学;文献;文艺;著作; tackle:v.处理; n.用具; determination:n.测定;确定;决心;计算; optimism:n.乐观;乐观主义;
And I wanted to bring these gamer traits to my real-life challenge, so I created a role-playing recovery game called Jane the Concussion Slayer . [07:57]
traits:n.特性,特质,性格(trait的复数); role-playing:n.角色扮演,角色模仿; recovery:n.恢复,复原;痊愈;重获; Slayer:n.凶手;杀人者;屠宰者;
Now this became my new secret identity , and the first thing I did as a slayer was call my twin sister -- I have an identical twin sister named Kelly -- and tell her, I'm playing a game to heal my brain, and I want you to play with me. [08:04]
identity:n.身份;同一性,一致;特性;恒等式; identical twin:n.单卵性双胞胎之一(性别相同,外貌相似);
This was an easier way to ask for help. [08:18]
She became my first ally in the game, my husband Kiyash joined next, and together we identified and battled the bad guys. [08:22]
identified:v.确认;认出;找到;发现;说明身份;(identify的过去式和过去分词)
Now this was anything that could trigger my symptoms and therefore slow down the healing process , things like bright lights and crowded spaces. [08:30]
healing:n.康复; adj.痊愈中的; v.(使)康复,复原; (heal的现在分词) process:v.处理;加工;列队行进;n.过程,进行;方法,adj.经过特殊加工(或处理)的;
We also collected and activated power-ups . [08:37]
activated:v.使活动;激活;使活化;(activate的过去式和过去分词) power-ups:物品;
This was anything I could do on even my worst day to feel just a little bit good, just a little bit productive . [08:41]
productive:adj.能生产的;生产的,生产性的;多产的;富有成效的;
Things like cuddling my dog for 10 minutes, or getting out of bed and walking around the block just once. [08:48]
cuddling:v.拥抱;搂抱;(cuddle的现在分词)
Now the game was that simple: [08:54]
Adopt a secret identity, recruit your allies , battle the bad guys, activate the power-ups. [08:55]
Adopt:v.采取;接受;收养;正式通过; recruit:n.新兵; v.吸收(新成员); (通过招募)组成; allies:n.盟友,支持者:v.与…结盟(ally的第三人称单数和复数)
But even with a game so simple, within just a couple days of starting to play, that fog of depression and anxiety went away. It just vanished . It felt like a miracle . [09:01]
vanished:v.消失了;突然消失;消亡;绝迹;(vanish的过去分词和过去式) miracle:n.奇迹,奇迹般的人或物;惊人的事例;
Now it wasn't a miracle cure for the headaches or the cognitive symptoms. [09:13]
cognitive:adj.认知的,认识的;
That lasted for more than a year, and it was the hardest year of my life by far. [09:16]
But even when I still had the symptoms, even while I was still in pain, I stopped suffering. [09:21]
Now what happened next with the game surprised me. [09:27]
I put up some blog posts and videos online, explaining how to play. [09:30]
blog:n.博客;部落格;网络日志;
But not everybody has a concussion, obviously, not everyone wants to be "the slayer," [09:34]
so I renamed the game SuperBetter. [09:39]
renamed:v.重新命名;给…改名;(rename的过去分词和过去式)
And soon I started hearing from people all over the world who were adopting their own secret identity, recruiting their own allies, and they were getting "super better" [09:41]
adopting:v.收养;领养;采用;表决采纳;(adopt的现在分词) recruiting:v.吸收(新成员);征募(新兵);动员;(recruit的现在分词)
facing challenges like cancer and chronic pain, depression and Crohn's disease . [09:50]
cancer:n.癌症;恶性肿瘤; chronic:adj.慢性的;长期的;习惯性的; disease:n.病,[医]疾病;弊病;vt.传染;使…有病;
Even people were playing it for terminal diagnoses like ALS. [09:57]
terminal:n.终端;航站楼;终端机;航空终点站;adj.晚期的;不治的;致命的;患绝症的; diagnoses:n.诊断;调查分析;评价(diagnosis的复数形式);
And I could tell from their messages and their videos that the game was helping them in the same ways that it helped me. [10:01]
They talked about feeling stronger and braver. [10:09]
They talked about feeling better understood by their friends and family. [10:11]
And they even talked about feeling happier, even though they were in pain, even though they were tackling the toughest challenge of their lives. [10:16]
tackling:n.装备,用具;扭住;v.处理;抓住;(tackle的现在分词);
Now at the time, I'm thinking to myself, what is going on here? [10:24]
I mean, how could a game so trivial intervene so powerfully in such serious, and in some cases life-and-death , circumstances ? [10:28]
trivial:adj.不重要的,琐碎的;琐细的; intervene:vi.干涉;调停;插入; powerfully:adv.强大地;强烈地;非常; life-and-death:adj.生死攸关的;重大的; circumstances:n.情况;环境;情形;(circumstance的复数)
I mean, if it hadn't worked for me, there's no way I would have believed it was possible. [10:37]
Well, it turns out there's some science here too. [10:41]
Some people get stronger and happier after a traumatic event. [10:43]
And that's what was happening to us. [10:49]
The game was helping us experience what scientists call post-traumatic growth, which is not something we usually hear about. [10:51]
post-traumatic:adj.受伤后的;
We usually hear about post-traumatic stress disorder . [10:58]
post-traumatic stress disorder:n.创伤后精神紧张性障碍;
But scientists now know that a traumatic event doesn't doom us to suffer indefinitely . [11:01]
doom:n.厄运;毁灭;劫数;死亡;v.使…注定失败(或遭殃、死亡等); indefinitely:adv.不确定地,无限期地;模糊地,不明确地;
Instead, we can use it as a springboard to unleash our best qualities and lead happier lives. [11:07]
springboard:n.跳板;出发点;vi.利用跳板跃进; unleash:vt.发泄;突然释放;使爆发;
Here are the top five things that people with post-traumatic growth say: [11:13]
My priorities have changed. I'm not afraid to do what makes me happy. [11:17]
priorities:n.优先事项;优先权;重点;(priority的复数)
I feel closer to my friends and family. [11:22]
I understand myself better. I know who I really am now. [11:25]
I have a new sense of meaning and purpose in my life. [11:29]
I'm better able to focus on my goals and dreams. [11:32]
Now, does this sound familiar ? [11:36]
familiar:adj.熟悉的;常见的;亲近的;n.常客;密友;
It should, because the top five traits of post-traumatic growth are essentially the direct opposite of the top five regrets of the dying. [11:38]
essentially:adv.本质上;本来;
Now this is interesting, right? [11:48]
It seems that somehow , a traumatic event can unlock our ability to lead a life with fewer regrets. [11:49]
somehow:adv.以某种方法;莫名其妙地;
But how does it work? [11:56]
How do you get from trauma to growth? [11:58]
Or better yet, is there a way to get all the benefits of post-traumatic growth without the trauma, without having to hit your head in the first place ? [12:00]
in the first place:首先;起初;
That would be good, right? [12:08]
I wanted to understand the phenomenon better, so I devoured the scientific literature, and here's what I learned. [12:10]
phenomenon:n.现象;杰出的人;非凡的人(或事物); devoured:v.狼吞虎咽地吃光;津津有味地看;吞没;毁灭;(devour的过去分词和过去式)
There are four kinds of strength, or resilience , that contribute to post-traumatic growth, and there are scientifically validated activities that you can do every day to build up these four kinds of resilience , and you don't need a trauma to do it. [12:15]
resilience:n.恢复力;弹力;顺应力; contribute to:有助于;捐献; scientifically:adv.系统地;合乎科学地;学问上; validated:v.证实;确认;使生效;批准;认可;(validate的过去分词和过去式)
Now, I could tell you what these four types of strength are, but I'd rather you experience them firsthand . [12:30]
firsthand:adj.直接的;直接采购的;直接得来的;adv.直接地;
I'd rather we all start building them up together right now. [12:35]
So here's what we're going to do. [12:38]
We're going to play a quick game together. [12:39]
This is where you earn those seven and a half minutes of bonus life that I promised you earlier. [12:41]
All you have to do is successfully complete the first four SuperBetter quests . [12:45]
quests:n.过关模式(游戏用语); v.探索;
And I feel like you can do it. I have confidence in you. [12:50]
confidence:n.信心;信任;秘密;adj.(美)诈骗的;骗得信任的;
So, everybody ready? This is your first quest. Here we go. [12:53]
Pick one: Stand up and take three steps, or make your hands into fists, raise them over your head as high as you can for five seconds. Go! [12:57]
All right, I like the people doing both. You are overachievers . [13:04]
overachievers:n.成就超出预料的成功者;成绩超过预料的学生(overachiever的复数);
Very good. (Laughter) [13:09]
Well done , everyone. Now that is worth plus-one physical resilience, which means that your body can withstand more stress and heal itself faster. [13:11]
Well done:好样的,干得好; physical:adj.[物]物理的;身体的;物质的;符合自然法则的;n.体格检查; withstand:vt.抵挡;禁得起;反抗;vi.反抗;
Now we know from the research that the number one thing you can do to boost your physical resilience is to not sit still. [13:18]
That's all it takes. [13:25]
Every single second that you are not sitting still, you are actively improving the health of your heart, and your lungs and brains. [13:26]
improving:v.改进;改善;(improve的现在分词)
Everybody ready for your next quest? [13:33]
I want you to snap your fingers exactly 50 times, or count backwards from 100 by seven, like this: 100, 93 ... [13:35]
snap:v.断裂;移到某位置;厉声说;n.啪嗒声;(尤指抢拍的)照片;adj.仓促的;
Go! [13:42]
(Snapping) [13:43]
Don't give up. [13:45]
(Snapping) [13:47]
Don't let the people counting down from 100 interfere with your counting to 50. [13:50]
interfere:v.干涉;干预;介入;
(Laughter) [13:53]
Nice. Wow. That's the first time I've ever seen that. [13:59]
Bonus physical resilience. Well done, everyone. [14:02]
Now that's worth plus-one mental resilience, which means you have more mental focus, more discipline , determination and willpower . [14:04]
discipline:n.纪律;训练;自制力;风纪;v.训练;管教;惩罚;处罚; willpower:n.意志力;毅力;
We know from the scientific research that willpower actually works like a muscle . [14:11]
muscle:n.肌肉;力量;v.加强;使劲搬动;使劲挤出;
It gets stronger the more you exercise it. [14:16]
So tackling a tiny challenge without giving up, even one as absurd as snapping your fingers exactly 50 times or counting backwards from 100 by seven is actually a scientifically validated way to boost your willpower. [14:18]
absurd:adj.荒谬的;可笑的;n.荒诞;荒诞作品; snapping:v.断裂,绷断;打开,关上,移到某位置;(snap的现在分词)
So good job. Quest number three. [14:31]
Pick one: Now because of the room we're in, fate's really determined this for you, but here are the two options . [14:33]
determined:adj.决定了的:v.决定;(determine的过去分词和过去式) options:n.选择; v.得到或获准进行选择; (option的三单形式)
If you're inside, find a window and look out of it. [14:37]
If you're outside, find a window and look in. [14:40]
Or do a quick YouTube or Google image search for "baby [your favorite animal.]" [14:42]
Google:谷歌;谷歌搜索引擎;
Now, you could do this on your phones, or you could just shout out some baby animals, [14:46]
I'm going to find some and put them on the screen for us. [14:49]
So, what do we want to see? [14:51]
Sloth , giraffe, elephant, snake. Okay, let's see what we got. [14:52]
Sloth:n.怠惰,懒惰;[脊椎]树懒;
Baby dolphin and baby llamas. Everybody look. [14:57]
dolphin:n.海豚;
Got that? [15:02]
Okay, one more. Baby elephant. [15:05]
We're clapping for that? [15:09]
clapping:v.鼓掌,拍手;击掌;(clap的现在分词)
That's amazing. [15:10]
All right, now what we're just feeling there is plus-one emotional resilience, which means you have the ability to provoke powerful, positive emotions like curiosity or love, which we feel when we look at baby animals, when you need them most. [15:12]
emotional:adj.情绪的;易激动的;感动人的; provoke:vt.驱使;激怒;煽动;惹起; positive:adj.积极的;[数]正的,[医][化学]阳性的;确定的;n.正数;[摄]正片; emotions:n.强烈的感情;激情;情感;(emotion的复数) curiosity:n.好奇,好奇心;珍品,古董,古玩;
And here's a secret from the scientific literature for you. [15:23]
If you can manage to experience three positive emotions for every one negative emotion over the course of an hour, a day, a week, you dramatically improve [15:26]
negative:adj.[数]负的;消极的;否定的;阴性的;n.否定;负数;[摄]底片;v.否定;拒绝; dramatically:adv.戏剧地;引人注目地;adv.显著地,剧烈地; improve:v.改进;改善;

And this is called the three-to-one positive emotion ratio . [15:41]
ratio:n.比率;比例;v.用比例方式表达;求出…的比值;使…成比例;
It's my favorite SuperBetter trick, so keep it up. [15:44]
All right, pick one, last quest: [15:47]
Shake someone's hand for six seconds, or send someone a quick thank you by text, email, Facebook or Twitter. Go! [15:49]
(Chatting) [15:54]
Looking good, looking good. [16:00]
Nice, nice. [16:01]
Keep it up. I love it! [16:04]
All right, everybody, that is plus-one social resilience, which means you actually get more strength from your friends, your neighbors, your family, your community . [16:08]
community:n.社区;[生态]群落;共同体;团体;
Now, a great way to boost social resilience is gratitude . [16:17]
gratitude:n.感谢(的心情);感激;
Touch is even better. [16:20]
Here's one more secret for you: [16:22]
Shaking someone's hand for six seconds dramatically raises the level of oxytocin in your bloodstream , now that's the trust hormone . [16:23]
oxytocin:n.[药]催产素;缩宫素;脑下垂体后叶荷尔蒙之一种; bloodstream:n.[生理]血流,血液的流动; hormone:n.[生理]激素,荷尔蒙;
That means that all of you who just shook hands are biochemically primed to like and want to help each other. [16:30]
biochemically:生化地; primed:adj.待发的;v.使准备好;装填;使泵起动;涂底漆;修剪树枝(prime的过去分词);
This will linger during the break, so take advantage of the networking opportunities. [16:36]
linger:徘徊;继续存留;流连;逗留;持续看(或思考);苟延残喘; take advantage of:利用;
(Laughter) [16:41]
Okay, well you have successfully completed your four quests, so let's see if I've successfully completed my mission to give you seven and a half minutes of bonus life. [16:42]
And here's where I get to share one more little bit of science with you. [16:49]
It turns out that people who regularly boost these four types of resilience -- physical, mental, emotional and social -- live 10 years longer than everyone else. [16:52]
regularly:adv.经常地;有规律地;定期的
So this is true. [17:02]
If you are regularly achieving the three-to-one positive emotion ratio, if you are never sitting still for more than an hour at a time, if you are reaching out to one person you care about every single day, [17:03]
if you are tackling tiny goals to boost your willpower, you will live 10 years longer than everyone else, and here's where that math I showed you earlier comes in. [17:13]
So, the average life expectancy in the U.S. and the U.K. is 78.1 years, but we know from more than 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies that you can add 10 years of life to that by boosting your four types of resilience. [17:22]
life expectancy:预期寿命; peer-reviewed:n.同行评议;同行审阅; boosting:n.助推,局部通风;升压加力;v.推进(boost的现在分词形式);
So every single year that you are boosting your four types of resilience, you're actually earning .128 more years of life or 46 more days of life, or 67,298 more minutes of life, [17:33]
which means every single day, you are earning 184 minutes of life, or every single hour that you are boosting your four types of resilience, like we just did together, you are earning 7.68245837 more minutes of life. [17:44]
Congratulations, those seven and a half minutes are all yours. You totally earned them. [17:56]
(Applause) [18:00]
Yeah! Awesome . [18:01]
Awesome:adj.令人敬畏的;使人畏惧的;可怕的;极好的;
Wait, wait, wait. [18:05]
You still have your special mission, your secret mission. [18:08]
How are you going to spend these seven and a half minutes of bonus life? [18:10]
Well, here's my suggestion. [18:13]
These seven and a half bonus minutes are kind of like genie's wishes. [18:15]
You can use your first wish to wish for a million more wishes. [18:19]
Pretty clever, right? [18:22]
So, if you spend these seven and a half minutes today doing something that makes you happy, or that gets you physically active, or puts you in touch with someone you care about, or even just tackling a tiny challenge, you are going to boost your resilience, so you're going to earn more minutes. [18:23]
And the good news is, you can keep going like that. [18:41]
Every hour of the day, every day of your life, all the way to your deathbed, which will now be 10 years later than it would have otherwise. [18:43]
And when you get there, more than likely, you will not have any of those top five regrets, because you will have built up the strength and resilience to lead a life truer to your dreams. [18:50]
And with 10 extra years, you might even have enough time to play a few more games. [19:03]
Thank you. [19:09]
(Applause) [19:10]
