So today, I want us to reflect

今天，我希望各位能认识到

on the demise of guys.

男性的衰落

Guys are flaming out academically;

男性在学术成就上正逐渐走向低谷

they're wiping out socially with girls

他们把大多时间都花在和女性社交

and sexually with women.

以及两性关系上

Other than that, there's not much of a problem.

除此之外，没有什么大的问题

So what's the data?

那么我们来看看数据是怎样的

So the data on dropping out is amazing.

退学的数据非常惊人

Boys are 30 percent more likely than girls

相比于女生

to drop out of school.

男生的退学率要高百分之30

In Canada, five boys drop out for every three girls.

在加拿大，每三名退学的女生就对应着五名退学的男生

Girls outperform boys now at every level,

现在女生在各个教育阶段都赶超了男生

from elementary school to graduate school.

从小学到研究生

There's a 10 percent differential

相对于女性

between getting BA's and all graduate programs,

男性在获得文科学士和其他研究生项学位上

with guys falling behind girls.

落后百分之十

Two-thirds of all students in special ed. remedial programs are guys.

在特殊教育和后进学生教育中，三分之二的学生是男生

And as you all know,

同时正如你们所了解的

boys are five times more likely than girls

男生被诊断为注意力缺损症的几率

to be labeled as having attention deficit disorder --

是女生的五倍

and therefore we drug them with Ritalin.

因此我们才让他们服用利他林

What's the evidence of wiping out?

那么这种衰落有什么迹象吗？

First, it's a new fear of intimacy.

首先，是对亲密关系的新恐惧

Intimacy means physical, emotional connection

亲密关系意味着和其他人身体上，感情上的

with somebody else --

密切关系

and especially with somebody of the opposite sex

尤其是和异性

who gives off ambiguous, contradictory,

异性散发出朦胧的，矛盾的

phosphorescent signals.

磷光般的信号

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And every year there's research done

每年都有研究展开

on self-reported shyness among college students.

关于在大学生中出现的羞怯问题

And we're seeing a steady increase among males.

这一问题在男性群体中不断增长

And this is two kinds.

并且可分为两种

It's a social awkwardness.

一种是社会尴尬

The old shyness was a fear of rejection.

羞怯是一种对拒绝的恐惧

It's a social awkwardness like you're a stranger in a foreign land.

这是一种社会尴尬，就如你是异国土地上的陌生人

They don't know what to say, they don't know what to do,

especially one-on-one [with the] opposite sex.

There's something I'm developing here called social intensity syndrome,

我试图阐明的称作社交强度综合症

which tries to account for why guys really prefer

它对为什么男性重视男性间联结

male bonding over female mating.

超过对女性伴侣的感情做出一个合理解释

It turns out, from earliest childhood,

因为从童年的最初期开始

boys, and then men,

男孩，随之男人

prefer the company of guys --

喜欢男性的陪同

physical company.

身体上的同伴

And there's actually a cortical arousal we're looking at,

我们看到的其实是一种皮层兴奋

because guys have been with guys

因为男生总是和其他男生一起

in teams, in clubs, in gangs, in fraternities,

在运动队中，在社团中，在群体中，在兄弟会中

especially in the military, and then in pubs.

尤其是在军队里，或酒吧里

And this peaks at Super Bowl Sunday

这种现象在超级杯周日赛中会达到高峰

when guys would rather be in a bar with strangers,

The problem is they now prefer

问题是现在他们喜欢

[the] asynchronistic Internet world

虚幻的网络世界

to the spontaneous interaction

而不是社交关系中

in social relationships.

真实的互动

What are the causes? Well, it's an unintended consequence.

原因是什么？其实这是一个意料之外的后果

I think it's excessive Internet use in general, excessive video gaming,

我想是因为过量的网络使用，过量的电子游戏

excessive new access to pornography.

过量的得到色情电影的新途径

The problem is these are arousal addictions.

问题是这些是兴奋成瘾

Drug addiction, you simply want more.

有毒瘾，你就想要更多毒品

Arousal addiction, you want different.

兴奋成瘾，你想要不同的兴奋体验

Drugs, you want more of the same -- different.

毒品，你想要的是同一个东西－－不同

So you need the novelty in order for the arousal to be sustained.

因此你需要新奇感来持续这种兴奋

And the problem is the industry is supplying it.

问题是有产业来满足这种需求

Jane McGonigal told us last year

简·麦克格尼高去年告诉我们

that by the time a boy is 21,

当一个男生21岁的时候

he's played 10,000 hours of video games,

As you remember, Cindy Gallop said

between making love and doing porn.

And the porn industry is the fastest growing industry in America --

色情工业是如今美国发展最快的工业

15 billion annually.

For every 400 movies made in Hollywood,

好莱坞每制作400部电影

there are 11,000 now made porn videos.

So the effect, very quickly,

is it's a new kind of arousal.

供给新的兴奋

Boys' brains are being digitally rewired in a totally new way

for change, novelty, excitement and constant arousal.
