Today I am going to teach you

今天我要教大家

how to play my favorite game:

玩我最爱的游戏

massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling.

「拇指摔跤大混战」

It's the only game in the world that I know of

世上所有游戏中，这是我所知

that allows you, the player,

唯一可让玩家

the opportunity to experience

得以在60秒内体验

10 positive emotions in 60 seconds or less.

10种正面情绪的游戏

This is true, so if you play this game with me today

这是真的，如果今天你们和我玩一下

for just one single minute,

只要一分钟

you will get to feel joy, relief, love, surprise,

就会感到喜悦，放松，爱与惊喜

pride, curiosity, excitement, awe and wonder,

自豪，好奇，兴奋，崇敬和惊奇

contentment, and creativity,

满足，以及创造力

all in the span of one minute.

全在一分钟内可以体验到

So this sounds pretty good, right? Now you're willing to play.

听来很棒是吧？现在你会想玩了!

In order to teach you this game,

我需要几位志愿者

I'm going to need some volunteers

赶快上台来

to come up onstage really quickly,

和我一起教大家怎么玩

and we're going to do a little hands-on demo.

我们要亲身示范

While they're coming up, I should let you know,

趁他们上来的空档，我想该跟大家说一下

this game was invented 10 years ago

这游戏是10年前在澳大利亚

by an artists' collective in Austria named Monochrom.

由Monochrom这个同人艺术团体发明的

So thank you, Monochrom.

谢谢你们，Monochrom

Okay, so most people are familiar

好的，大多数人都熟悉

with traditional, two-person thumb-wrestling.

传统的拇指摔跤对战

Sunni, let's just remind them.

Sunni，我们来帮大家复习一下

One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war, and we wrestle,

1，2，3，4， 我说开始，拇指互摔

and of course Sunni beats me because she's the best.

Sunni高手，当然会赢!

Now the first thing about massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling,

有关拇指摔跤大混战首要的常识是

we're the gamer generation.

我们已进入「游戏世代」

There are a billion gamers on the planet now,

现在世界上有数十亿的玩家

so we need more of a challenge.

所以我们要来点更具挑战性的

So the first thing we need is more thumbs.

首先要用上更多拇指

So Eric, come on over.

Eric請你加入吧!

So we could get three thumbs together,

这样我们就有三根拇指了

and Peter could join us.

Peter也来吧!

We could even have four thumbs together,

我们甚至可以有四个拇指

and the way you win

第一个按住别人拇指的

is you're the first person to pin someone else's thumb.

就赢了!

This is really important. You can't, like,

不过有一点非常重要! 不可以像这样

wait while they fight it out and then swoop in at the last minute.

等别人分出胜负才猛然按下

That is not how you win.

这样不算赢

Ah, who did that? Eric you did that.

啊，刚才谁赢了？是Eric

So Eric would have won. He was the first person to pin my thumb.

像Eric刚才这样抢先压制我的拇指就赢了!

Okay, so that's the first rule,

好，这是第一条规则

and we can see that three or four

而且还了解到一个节点

is kind of the typical number of thumbs in a node,

通常有3到4根拇指

but if you feel ambitious, you don't have to hold back.

如果想玩大一点的，用不着客气!

We can really go for it.

我们大可放手一搏!

So you can see up here.

就像屏幕上看到的

Now the only other rule you need to remember is,

别忘了另外一条规则是

gamer generation, we like a challenge.

玩家世代，热爱挑战!

I happen to notice you all have

我刚好注意到你们还有

some thumbs you're not using.

没有用到的拇指

So I think we should kind of get some more involved.

所以我想多少把它们用上吧!

And if we had just four people,

如果只有4个玩家

we would do it just like this,

就可这样做

and we would try and wrestle

我们会试着

both thumbs at the same time.

同时以两手拇指摔跤

Perfect.

好极了!

Now, if we had more people in the room,

如果在场的人更多

instead of just wrestling in a closed node,

与其只靠封闭的节点

we might reach out and try and grab some other people.

我们或可主动拉其他人进来

And in fact, that's what we're going to do right now.

这就是我们马上要做的事

We're going to try and get all, something like,

这里大约有1,500根拇指

I don't know, 1,500 thumbs in this room

我们试试看能不能

connected in a single node.

用一个节点串连

And we have to connect both levels,

而且上下两层的观众都要加入

so if you're up there, you're going to be

舞台左方的楼上观众会需要

reaching down and reaching up.

一手向上一手向下

Now — (Laughter) —

现在 — — （笑声） — —

before we get started --

在开始之前

This is great. You're excited to play. —

不错!各位一副跃跃欲试的模样!

before we get started, can I have the slides back up here really quick,

可以在开始前帮我恢复幻灯片播放吗？

because if you get good at this game,

如果你们这游戏玩得不错

I want you to know there are some advanced levels.

我想给你们介绍一些更难的

So this is the kind of simple level, right?

这算初级，对吧？

But there are advanced configurations.

但是还有更难的配置

This is called the Death Star Configuration.

这被称为死星形态

Any Star Wars fans?

在座中有《星际大战》的影迷吗？

And this one's called the Möbius Strip.

这叫莫比乌斯带(Möbius strip)

Any science geeks, you get that one.

科学迷应该都知道

This is the hardest level. This is the extreme.

这种排列最难;还有这种实在太特殊了

So we'll stick with the normal one for now,

所以我们现在玩普通的就好

and I'm going to give you 30 seconds,

我会给你们30 秒

every thumb into the node,

设法让每个拇指连上结点

connect the upper and the lower levels,

楼上楼下也要相连

you guys go on down there.

你们几个去那边

Thirty seconds. Into the network. Make the node.

30秒的时闲,连起来!制造结点!

Stand up! It's easier if you stand up.

站起来吧！站着比较容易!

Everybody, up up up up up!

每个人都站起来 ！

Stand up, my friends.

站起来，我的朋友们!

All right.

好!

Don't start wrestling yet.

游戏现在还没开始!

If you have a free thumb, wave it around,

如果您还有拇指没用上，挥动一下给我们看!

make sure it gets connected.

确认每个姆指都挂上了

Okay. We need to do a last-minute thumb check.

好……最后一次确认

If you have a free thumb, wave it around to make sure.

如果有闲置的拇指，挥一下给我们看以确保……

Grab that thumb!

握住那只姆指！

Reach behind you. There you go.

就在你后面，你看行得通吧!

Any other thumbs?

还有拇指没连到的吗？

Okay, on the count of three, you're going to go.

好，我数到三，你们就开始

Try to keep track. Grab, grab, grab it.

尽量不要散掉! 稳住，稳住，稳住!

Okay? One, two, three, go!

好了吗？一、 二、 三，开始 ！

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Did you win? You got it? You got it? Excellent!

你赢了吗? 赢了吗？你逮到他了？很好！

(Applause)

（掌声）

Well done. Thank you. Thank you very much.

干的好。谢谢你们大家!

All right.

好

While you are basking in the glow

你们有些人头一次在

拇指摔跤大混战赢了

of having won your first

所以此刻还沉浸在狂喜中

massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling game,

let's do a quick recap on the positive emotions.

让我们很快地回味一下其中的正面情绪

So curiosity.

好奇

I said "massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling."

当我说：「拇指摔跤大混战」

You were like, "What the hell is she talking about?"

你们会纳闷:「她在说什么呀?」

So I provoked a little curiosity.

所以我激起了你们的一点好奇心

Creativity: it took creativity to solve the problem

而让所有拇指接上节点

of getting all the thumbs into the node.

倚赖的是创造力

I'm reaching around and I'm reaching up.

跟周围的人连；和上面的人连

So you used creativity. That was great.

所以大家发挥了创造力，很棒!

How about surprise? The actual feeling

那惊讶呢? 亲身体验两手大拇指

of trying to wrestle two thumbs at once is pretty surprising.

同时与人较劲的确令人惊奇

You heard that sound go up in the room.

刚才你们都听见会场内的声音越来越大

We had excitement. As you started to wrestle,

大家都很兴奋，而当你们一较高下的时候

maybe you're starting to win or this person's, like, really into it,

也许你逐渐占上风，或是对手很投入

so you kind of get the excitement going.

大家因此都很兴奋

We have relief. You got to stand up.

也有放松的时候，像大家得站起来

You've been sitting for awhile, so the physical relief,

因为都坐一阵子了，所以放松身体

getting to shake it out.

有松弛的效果

We had joy. You were laughing, smiling. Look at your faces. This room is full of joy.

我们刚才很快乐，你们大笑，微笑。看看你们，这里充满喜悦!

We had some contentment.

刚才我们也觉得满足

I didn't see anybody sending text messages or checking their email while we were playing,

游戏中我没看到发短信或检视电邮的人

so you were totally content to be playing.

所以你们玩得很尽兴!

The most important three emotions,

再来是最重要的三种情绪，

awe and wonder, we had everybody connected physically for a minute.

尊崇和惊奇，刚才那1分钟我们确实彼此接触

When was the last time you were at TED

在TED你何时有过这样的机会

and you got to connect physically with every single person in the room?

能与场上的每个人有身体接触？

And it's truly awesome and wondrous.

这的确令人感到佩服和惊奇!

And speaking of physical connection,

说到身体上的接触

you guys know I love the hormone oxytocin,

你们知道我喜欢催产素

you release oxytocin, you feel bonded to everyone in the room.

你们释放催产素，感到彼此相投

You guys know that the best way to release oxytocin quickly

众所皆知，立即分泌催产素的最佳途径就是

is to hold someone else's hand for at least six seconds.

与人牵手至少6秒钟

You guys were all holding hands for way more than six seconds,

你们刚才牵手的时间早就不只6秒

so we are all now biochemically primed

所以以生化观点来说

to love each other. That is great.

全都彼此相爱了。真棒。

And the last emotion of pride.

最后来说自豪这件事

How many people are like me. Just admit it.

有多少人像我一样---尽管承认无妨

You lost both your thumbs.

两手都输了!

It just didn't work out for you.

也不过就是一时赢不了罢了!

That's okay, because you learned a new skill today.

没关系，因为你今天学到了新技能

You learned, from scratch, a game you never knew before.

学会一种以前从不知道的游戏

Now you know how to play it. You can teach other people.

既然你们已经会玩，就可以教人

So congratulations.

恭喜!

How many of you won just won thumb?

有多少人只赢了一边？

All right. I have very good news for you.

好，我有很棒的消息要告诉你们

According to the official rules

根据姆指摔跤大混战

of massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling,

的官方规则

this makes you a grandmaster of the game.

这表示你是拇指摔跤大师

Because there aren't that many people who know how to play,

因为没多少人会玩

we have to kind of accelerate the program

我们得简化游戏程序

more than a game like chess.

不要像西洋棋那么慢

So congratulations, grandmasters.

所以恭喜你们，各位大师!

Win one thumb once, you will become a grandmaster.

一个拇指赢一次，就能成为大师

Did anybody win both their thumbs?

有谁两手拇指都赢的?

Yes. Awesome. Okay.

有耶。好棒! 好。

I will just leave you with this tip, if you want to play again.

如果各位想再试一次，我有个忠告

The best way to become a legendary grandmaster,

成为传奇宗师的最佳途径便是

you've got your two nodes going on.

从两手各自连接的节点中

Pick off the one that looks easiest.

选个看起来最简单的那个

They're not paying attention. They look kind of weak.

其他人心不在焉的那个，看起来有点逊的!

Focus on that one and do something crazy

先集中注意在那手

with this arm.

另一手乱动就好了!

As soon as you win, suddenly stop.

只要一手赢了，乱动的那手就紧急煞车

Everybody is thrown off. You go in for the kill.

其他人措手不及，你再趁虚而入!
