It's Time for Infectious Generosity. Here's How | Chris Anderson | TED

翻译人员: Jia Z 校对人员: Laixi Kang

So tonight I want to share with you 10 remarkable stories

今晚我想与你们分享 10 个精彩的故事，

and introduce you to the people behind them,

并向你们介绍这些故事背后的人，

because I think collectively they have created a playbook

因为我认为他们共同为 真正改变世界的想法

for a truly world-changing idea.

创造了一个剧本。

It's a new way to think about generosity.

这是一种思考慷慨的新方式。

Generosity? Come on.

慷慨？别闹。

I mean, surely that's way too tiny a force

我是说，这种力量肯定太小了，

to pit against the ugly world we're facing.

不足以对抗我们所面临的丑陋世界。

Not necessarily.

不一定。

You remember this guy?

你还记得这个家伙吗？

This is so small, it's invisible.

它太小了，我们看不见。

But somehow it still found a way to shut down the world economy.

但不知为何，它仍然找到了 关停世界经济的方法。

Here's the thing.

事情是这样的。

You don't need to be big to be powerful.

你不需要变大才能强大。

You just need to be infectious.

你只需要具有传染性。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

So that's the question we're going to ask this evening.

这就是我们今晚要问的问题。

What would it take to make generosity infectious?

怎样才能让慷慨具有传染性？

Can we actually picture a world

我们是否真的可以想象这样一个世界： 我们不再用愤怒、沮丧和恐惧传染彼此，

where instead of infecting each other with anger and upset and fear,

we're sparking waves of kindness across the planet?

而是在全球范围内引发善意浪潮？

So I feel like I've been wrestling with this question,

我觉得我几乎一生都在

in one form or another, pretty much my whole life.

以这种或那种形式努力解决这个问题。

How can you be generous?

你怎么才能慷慨？

I think my mother is to blame, I'm going to say, for this.

我想说，我觉得这要怪就怪我的母亲。

Here we go, that's ... littlun's me.

开始了，那小家伙是我。

Every day my mother showed us

每天，我母亲都会向我们展示

what it was like to be just deeply generous.

什么是极度慷慨。

She's an extraordinary woman.

她是一位非凡的女性。

And also a really hard act to follow,

这也是一个很难效仿的举动，

because my whole life,

因为我一生

I've been wrestling with this need to want to be generous,

都在与想要变得慷慨的需要作斗争，

but feeling often like this onerous burden.

但又常常感觉这是一种繁重的负担。

In 2006, something remarkable happened.

2006 年，发生了一件了不起的事情。

I'd recently taken over leadership of this weird

我刚刚接管了这个名为 TED 的

but wonderful conference called TED,

奇怪但精彩的会议，

and suddenly we were in a position where we could, if we wanted to,

突然之间，由于在线视频这一新技术，

give away all our content online

如果我们愿意的话，

because of this new technology, online video.

我们就可以在网上发布所有内容。

But should we do that?

但是我们应该这样做吗？ 我们担心这会毁掉

We were worried that it would kill the conference

that we depended on.

我们所依赖的会议。

So I think it was my mother's voice in my head,

我认为是脑海中我母亲的声音，

combined with a very brave group of people around me

再加上我周围一群非常勇敢的人，

that gave clarity on this.

才让我看清这个问题。

We decided to start posting TED Talks

我们决定开始发布 TED 演讲，

and were kind of stunned at what happened.

并对接下来发生的事情感到震惊。

TED went viral.

TED 迅速走红。

Suddenly our little website was being hit by millions of people.

突然间，我们的小网站 受到了数百万人的点击。

And thousands of volunteer translators took TED into 100 languages.

数千名翻译志愿者 将 TED 译成 100 种语言。

This was really beyond exciting,

这确实令人兴奋，

and it inspired us to double down on generosity

它促使我们更加慷慨，

and to start giving away our brand.

并开始赠送我们的品牌。

Well, we thought we could let volunteers anywhere in the world run TED events,

我们认为我们可以让世界任何地方的 志愿者举办 TED 活动，

but just using the label TEDx.

只要使用 TEDx 这个标签。

Seemed a little risky,

看起来有点冒险，实际上确实如此。

it actually was.

But it led to an explosion of incredible events,

但这引发了一系列不可思议的活动，

things like giant theaters, far-flung cities,

比如在巨型剧院、 遥远的城市、

venues that we never could have imagined actually ourselves doing.

我们自己根本无法想象的场所。

We went to churches,

我们去到教堂、

mountains,

山区、

prisons several times,

监狱多次、

a refugee camp

难民营，

and then football stadiums.

然后是足球场。

This was mind-blowing to us.

这对我们来说是难以置信的。

And if you think about it,

如果你仔细想想，

we just gave away our brand.

我们只是送出了我们的品牌。

And tens of thousands of volunteers around the world gave their time,

世界各地成千上万的志愿者 为此付出了他们的时间、

their energy, their talent, their financial risk to do this.

精力、才华，并承担经济风险。

It was mind-blowing.

这太令人难以置信了。

It led to 200,000 TEDx videos being produced,

它促成了 20 万个 TEDx 视频的制作，

a billion views annually.

每年观看次数达 10 亿次。

So it got me thinking that ...

所以这让我想到......

in this connected era, the rules around what we hold on to

在这个互联时代，关于我们保留什么

and what we give away had fundamentally changed.

和我们放弃什么的规则 已经从根本上改变了。

I mean, think about it.

我的意思是，考虑一下。

It's much easier now to give away things that really matter to people

现在，无限规模地赠送对人们

at basically limitless scale,

真正重要的东西很容易，

and those gifts carry with them

而这些礼物承载着

the most important currency of our age, reputation.

我们这个时代最重要的货币，即声誉。

So this made me think that maybe the new mantra

所以这让我想到，也许互联时代的新口号

for the connected age should be something like this:

"Be brave.

“勇敢起来，尽你所能，

Give what you can,

and then be absolutely amazed at what happens next."

你会对接下来发生的事情感到惊讶。”

I don't think this is just a mantra for TED.

我不认为这只是 TED 的口号。

I think this is a mantra for every organization

我认为这是每个组织的

and actually for every individual.

乃至每个个人的口号。

Well how so, how so?

为什么呢？

Well, the first piece of good news is an underreported human trait.

第一个好消息是被低估的人类特征。

Kind of a weird thing when you step back and think about it.

当你退一步思考时会觉得奇怪。

Now, I want to introduce you to Lydia Tarigan,

现在，我想向你介绍 莉迪亚·塔里根（Lydia Tarigan），

who's with us here from Indonesia.

Two years ago, something weird happened to her.

She was gifted 10,000 dollars

她收到一万美元的捐赠，

by an anonymous donor couple on the internet

来自网上一对匿名捐赠夫妇，

as part of a weird social experiment.

作为一项奇怪的社会实验的一部分。

An economist might predict that she would spend it on herself.

That's what rational agents do.

理性个体会这样做。

It is not what happened.

事实并非如此。

Instead, she stunned three of her co-workers with huge gifts.

She gave to flood victims in Indonesia,

And also, you are not alone.

而且，你并不孤单。

This experiment that Lydia was part of

莉迪亚参与的这个实验

was conducted by social psychology professor Elizabeth Dunn, who's with us.

是由社会心理学教授伊丽莎白·邓恩 （Elizabeth Dunn）进行的，她今天也在现场。

It was done in partnership with TED.

这是与 TED 合作完成的。

And it started with this crazy tweet.

它始于这条疯狂的推文。

What happened is that 200 people,

实际情况是，

who did not know what they were signing up for,

received what was kind of the ultimate scam email.

more than two thirds of that money was given away generously

to family, to friends, to strangers, to a huge variety of causes.

Two-thirds.

三分之二。

Liz and her team recently published a paper about this,

伊丽莎白和她的团队最近发表了 一篇关于这个问题的论文，

and it led to headlines like this.

这引发了这样的头条新闻。

So it turns out that we are wired,

事实证明，

we human beings are wired to respond to generosity with generosity.

我们人类天生就会以慷慨来回应慷慨。

Now, in the connected age, that's pretty promising right?

在这个互联时代，这很有希望，对吧？

Now there are many ways, of course, to give, rather than just money.

当然，现在有很多捐赠方式， 而不仅仅是金钱。

Many of the most beautiful gifts are gifts of time and attention

许多最美的礼物是时间、关注、

and hospitality and access

款待和机会，

and just simple acts of human kindness.

But all of them start right here with a generosity mindset,

但所有这些都是从慷慨的心态开始的，

a willingness to pay attention to something

愿意关注那些

that you wouldn't ordinarily pay attention to.

你通常不会关注的事情。

So you're walking down the street,

do you turn and look at them?

你会转身看他们吗？

It's actually surprisingly uncomfortable to do that.

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Now, what is it that makes something go viral?

是什么让某些东西 像病毒一样传播开来呢？

The first thing to say is that the difference between

首先要说的是，非传染性和传染性

non-infectious and infectious is less than you think.

之间的区别比你想象的要小。

The math here is really quite extraordinary.

这里的数学真的很不寻常。

Think of it this way -- if 10 people hear of an inspiring story

这样想吧——如果有 10 个人 听到一个鼓舞人心的故事，

and they're inspired to share it, on average, with nine other people,

并且他们受到启发，平均会与 其他 9 个人分享这个故事，

that story actually will pretty quickly fizzle away.

But if it's just that bit more compelling and they share it with 11 other people

但是，如果它更具吸引力，并且 他们与另外11个人分享了这个故事，

and that pattern continues,

并且这种模式继续下去，

that story goes viral.

那么这个故事就会像病毒一样传播开来。

So just a small difference in infectiousness

can actually lead to a thousands-fold difference in impact.

实际上可能会导致影响力的数千倍差异。

Wow.

哇。

So what is it that could cause that small increase in infectiousness?

那么，是什么可能导致 传染性的小幅增加呢？

Is it just like, lucky timing?

是不是只是天时地利？

Well, luck and timing probably play a part,

好吧，运气和时机可能起作用，

but I want to share with you three things that I think make a big difference.

但我想与大家分享三件事， 我认为这会产生很大的影响。

Here's the first, unlocking authentic human emotion.

This, of course, is how the dark side of the internet works,

emotions like fear and anger and outrage and so forth spread.

But positive emotion can also spread virally and often in the simplest ways.
