Translator: Crystal Ye Reviewer: Bighead Ge

Today I am going to teach you

今日我要教你哋

how to play my favorite game:

點去玩我最鍾意嘅遊戲︰

massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling.

大型多人手指公摔角

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

呢個係世界上我知道嘅唯一一個

that allows you, the player,

可以令到你哋，即係玩家

the opportunity to experience

喺 60 秒以內體驗到十種正面情緒

10 positive emotions in 60 seconds or less.

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

呢個係真嘅

所以如果你今日 同我一齊玩呢個遊戲

for just one single minute,

用僅僅一分鐘時間

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

你就會體會到快樂、放鬆、愛、驚喜

pride, curiosity, excitement, awe and wonder,

自豪、好奇、刺激、美妙同驚奇

contentment, and creativity,

滿足同創意

all in the span of one minute.

就係短短嘅一分鐘之內

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

聽落唔錯，係咪？ 你哋都想玩嘅

In order to teach you this game,

為咗教你哋點玩

I'm going to need some volunteers

我需要幾個人

to come up onstage really quickly,

自願快啲上台做一個小小嘅實際演示

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

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

當佢哋上嚟嘅同時，我想話畀你哋知

this game was invented 10 years ago

呢個遊戲係十年前

by an artists' collective in Austria named Monochrom.

由奧地利一個叫 Monochrom 嘅藝術家團體發明

So thank you, Monochrom.

所以多謝你 Monochrom

Okay, so most people are familiar

好啦，咁好多人其實都熟悉

with traditional, two-person thumb-wrestling.

傳統嘅二人手指公摔角

Sunni, let's just remind them.

Sunni，等我哋幫大家溫習一下

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

一，二，三，四

我發起拇指戰爭，跟住我哋開始摔角

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

咁當然 Sunni 擊敗我啦，因為佢最勁

Now the first thing about massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling,

玩大型多人拇指摔角 要注意嘅第一件事係

we're the gamer generation.

我哋係遊戲世代

There are a billion gamers on the planet now,

現時全球有十億個玩家

so we need more of a challenge.

所以我哋唔止需要挑戰

So the first thing we need is more thumbs.

咁我哋需要嘅第一樣野嘢

就係更多手指公

So Eric, come on over.

所以，Eric，過來

So we could get three thumbs together,

我哋可以將三隻手指公擺埋一齊

and Peter could join us.

Peter 都可以加入來

We could even have four thumbs together,

我哋甚至可以四個手指公一齊

and the way you win

而贏嘅方法

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

就係你係第一個壓住是旦一個嘅手指

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

呢個非常重要

你唔可以等到其他人都打晒，先至襲擊

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

That is not how you win.

你唔可以咁贏

Ah, who did that? Eric you did that.

啊，邊個壓住手指？Eric 係你

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

所以 Eric 頭先就贏咗

佢係第一個壓住我手指公嘅人

Okay, so that's the first rule,

好啦，呢個係第一條規則

and we can see that three or four

咁我哋可以睇到 3 或者 4

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

係通常一局嘅人數

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

但如果你雄心壯志

你唔使壓抑住自己

We can really go for it.

我哋真係可以嘗試下

So you can see up here.

你睇呢度

Now the only other rule you need to remember is,

唯一另一條你需要記得嘅規則係

gamer generation, we like a challenge.

遊戲世代啊嘛，我哋鍾意挑戰

I happen to notice you all have

咁啱我注意到大家未有用到兩隻手指公

some thumbs you're not using.

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

我覺得我哋可以加埋佢哋入嚟

And if we had just four people,

所以如果我哋得四個人

we would do it just like this,

我哋可以咁樣玩

and we would try and wrestle

而我哋就可以試下

both thumbs at the same time.

同時用兩隻手指公摔角

Perfect.

非常好

Now, if we had more people in the room,

呢家呢，如果我哋係房裡面有更加多人

instead of just wrestling in a closed node,

與其形成一個剩係得四個人玩

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

我哋可以捉埋其他人隻手

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

呢個就係我哋宜家要做嘅嘢

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

我哋要試下將所有房裏面嘅指隻公

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

我唔知有幾多，大概有 1,500 隻

connected in a single node.

全部連埋一齊

And we have to connect both levels,

而且我哋要連接兩層

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

如果你喺側邊，你要

reaching down and reaching up.

向下伸手或者向上伸手

Now — (Laughter) —

好啦（笑聲）

before we get started --

係我哋開始之前…

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

宜家氣氛唔錯，你哋都好興奮

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

我哋開始之前，我要頭先張投影片

because if you get good at this game,

因為當你玩呢個遊戲、玩得唔錯嘅時候

I want you to know there are some advanced levels.

我想話畀你哋知，仲有一個高級玩法

So this is the kind of simple level, right?

呢個其實係入門等級

But there are advanced configurations.

但其實仲有高級玩法

This is called the Death Star Configuration.

呢個係死星結構玩法

Any Star Wars fans?

有冇星球大戰嘅影迷？

And this one's called the Möbius Strip.

呢個叫「梅比斯環」

Any science geeks, you get that one.

有冇研究科學嘅人？你哋一定明

This is the hardest level. This is the extreme.

呢個喺最難嘅一關，叫「極端」

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

不過我哋做簡單嘅先

and I'm going to give you 30 seconds,

我會畀 30 秒你哋

every thumb into the node,

將所有手指公都連埋一齊

connect the upper and the lower levels,

連起上下兩層

you guys go on down there.

你哋行去嗰邊

Thirty seconds. Into the network. Make the node.

30 秒連成一個網

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

企起身！企起身會容易啲

Everybody, up up up up up!

所有人起身！起身！起身！

Stand up, my friends.

企起身，各位

All right.

好

Don't start wrestling yet.

唔好開始住

If you have a free thumb, wave it around,

如果你有多出嚟嘅手指公

咁就向周圍揈下

make sure it gets connected.

確保所有手指公都連埋

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

我哋最後再檢查一次

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

如果你有多出嘅手指公就周圍郁下

Grab that thumb!

捉住手指公！

Reach behind you. There you go.

去你後面，非常好

Any other thumbs?

仲有冇其他手指公？

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

好，我數三下，你哋就開始

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

記得你手指公嘅位置。捉，捉，捉住！

Okay? One, two, three, go!

得未？一，二，三，開始！

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

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

你贏咗？你捉到？你捉到？非常好！

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Well done. Thank you. Thank you very much.

好好啊。多謝晒。多謝你哋

All right.

好啦

While you are basking in the glow

當你好開心咁享受緊你

of having won your first

第一次大型多人手指公摔角

massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling game,

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

我哋好咁諗返下剛才嘅感受

So curiosity.

第一個係好奇心

I said "massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling."

當我話「大型多人手指公摔角」

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

你哋就諗，佢究竟講緊咩呀

So I provoked a little curiosity.

所以我引起咗小小好奇心

Creativity: it took creativity to solve the problem

創意：你哋需要創意去

of getting all the thumbs into the node.

將所有手指公連埋一齊

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

我要周圍揾或者向上揾

So you used creativity. That was great.

所以你哋用咗創意。非常好

How about surprise? The actual feeling

仲有驚喜呢？

當你嘗試兩邊手指公同時摔角

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

嗰一刻嘅感覺其實喺好意外

You heard that sound go up in the room.

你哋可以聽到 房入面嘅聲音都提高咗

We had excitement. As you started to wrestle,

我哋有刺激。當你開始摔角時

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

可能一邊你就嚟贏，但對手都好似就嚟贏

so you kind of get the excitement going.

所以你可以一直感受到刺激

We have relief. You got to stand up.

因為坐得耐，企起身可以令你放鬆

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

getting to shake it out.

手腳都揈下揈下

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

我哋有快樂，你哋一直喺度笑

睇你哋嘅表情，呢度充滿住快樂

We had some contentment.

我哋有投入

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

我冇見到有人喺摔角時候 發短信或者睇郵件

so you were totally content to be playing.

所以你哋完全投入呢個遊戲

The most important three emotions,

最重要嘅三個情感︰美妙同驚奇

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

我哋呢度所有人連埋一齊一分鐘

When was the last time you were at TED

你哋上一次喺 TED 裏面 同所有人連埋一齊係幾時？

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

And it's truly awesome and wondrous.

呢個其實係非常美妙同美好

And speaking of physical connection,

講到連繫其他人

you guys know I love the hormone oxytocin,

你哋都知我鍾意後葉荷爾蒙

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

葉荷爾蒙令你覺得你 同呢度每個人都喺埋一齊

You guys know that the best way to release oxytocin quickly

最快令人產生後葉荷爾蒙嘅辦法

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

就係捉住另一個人嘅手 6 秒以上

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

你哋大家都捉住大家嘅手

遠遠超過 6 秒

so we are all now biochemically primed

所以我哋都喺生理上準備好

to love each other. That is great.

去接受每一個人。呢個非常好

And the last emotion of pride.

最後係自豪

How many people are like me. Just admit it.

幾多人好似我咁。唔好怕羞

You lost both your thumbs.

邊個兩隻手指公都輸咗？

It just didn't work out for you.

呢個遊戲就係唔啱你

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

但無所謂。因為你今日學咗新技能

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

你從乜都唔知，唔知遊戲點玩

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

到你宜家知道點玩 你仲可以教埋人哋玩

So congratulations.

所以恭喜你

How many of you won just won thumb?

幾多人贏咗一隻手指公？

All right. I have very good news for you.

好。我有好消息要話畀你知
