譯者: NAN-KUN WU 審譯者: Shiwen He

Today I am going to teach you

今天我要教你們

how to play my favorite game:

怎麼玩我最愛的遊戲：

massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling.

超級多人拇指摔角

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

這是我所知的唯一一個

that allows you, the player,

可以讓你，也就是玩家

the opportunity to experience

得以在六十秒內

10 positive emotions in 60 seconds or less.

體驗十種正面心情的遊戲

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

這是真的，因此如果你今天和我玩這個遊戲

for just one single minute,

只需要一分鐘

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

你將會感受到喜悅、解脫、愛、驚喜

pride, curiosity, excitement, awe and wonder,

驕傲、好奇、興奮、敬畏與驚奇

contentment, and creativity,

滿足，以及創造力

all in the span of one minute.

這都將在一分鐘內發生

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

聽起來很不錯吧？ 你現在會願意玩這個遊戲了

In order to teach you this game,

為了教你們這個遊戲

I'm going to need some volunteers

我需要一些自願者

to come up onstage really quickly,

很快地到台上來

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

然後我們將會親身示範

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

在等他們上來的同時 我該讓你們知道

this game was invented 10 years ago

這個遊戲是在十年前，由一位奧地利

by an artists' collective in Austria named Monochrom.

藝術收藏家Monochrom發明的

So thank you, Monochrom.

謝謝你，Monochrom

Okay, so most people are familiar

好的，大部份的人都對

with traditional, two-person thumb-wrestling.

傳統的兩人拇指摔角很熟悉

Sunni, let's just remind them.

Sunni，我們幫他們複習一下吧

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

一，二，三，四 當我說拇指比賽，然後我們就開始

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

當然Sunni會打敗我 因為她是最厲害的

Now the first thing about massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling,

玩多人拇指摔角，（要知道）的第一件事情

we're the gamer generation.

就是我們身處玩家的世代

There are a billion gamers on the planet now,

現在全世界有十數億個玩家

so we need more of a challenge.

所以我們面臨大挑戰

So the first thing we need is more thumbs.

首先，我們需要更多的拇指

So Eric, come on over.

所以，來吧，Eric

So we could get three thumbs together,

我們把三個拇指湊在一起

and Peter could join us.

然後Peter可以加入我們

We could even have four thumbs together,

我們甚至可以把四個拇指湊在一起

and the way you win

如果你是第一個

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

把別人的拇指按住的人，你就贏了

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

這很重要

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

你不能在一旁觀戰，然後在最後才突然壓下來

That is not how you win.

這樣子贏了不算

Ah, who did that? Eric you did that.

噢，是誰？是Eric

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

這樣Eric就贏了 他是第一個把我的拇指壓住的

Okay, so that's the first rule,

好，這就是第一條規則

and we can see that three or four

三個或四個拇指

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

是在一個節點中常見的拇指數量

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

但是如果你很有野心的話 別憋在心裡

We can really go for it.

我們真的可以爭取更多

So you can see up here.

你可以看到

Now the only other rule you need to remember is,

你要記住的另外一條規則就是

gamer generation, we like a challenge.

身為玩家世代的一員，我們喜歡挑戰

I happen to notice you all have

讓我提醒你們，你們都有一些

some thumbs you're not using.

你現在沒在用的拇指

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

所以我覺得我們應該試點其他的

And if we had just four people,

如果我們只有四個人

we would do it just like this,

我們可以這樣做

and we would try and wrestle

同時用兩隻拇指摔角

both thumbs at the same time.

同時用兩個拇指摔角

Perfect.

太好了

Now, if we had more people in the room,

好，如果這房間裡有更多人

instead of just wrestling in a closed node,

我們可以往外延伸 讓更多人參與我們

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

而不是只在一個封閉的節點裡玩摔角

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

事實上 這就是我們現在要做的

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

我們要試著把這房間裡所有的

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

我不確定，大概1500個拇指

connected in a single node.

在一個節點裡面連接起來

And we have to connect both levels,

我們得連結兩層樓

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

所以如果你在樓上的話

reaching down and reaching up.

你就要同時連接樓上和樓下

Now — (Laughter) —

現在--（笑聲）--

before we get started --

在我們開始之前

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

很好。你們已經等不及了--

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

在我們開始之前 我在上面再放幾張投影片

because if you get good at this game,

因為如果你對這個遊戲很在行的話

I want you to know there are some advanced levels.

我想讓你知道還有其它進階版

So this is the kind of simple level, right?

這看其來是基本款對吧？

But there are advanced configurations.

但是還有其它種高級組合

This is called the Death Star Configuration.

這叫做「死星組合」

Any Star Wars fans?

這裡有星際大戰迷嗎？

And this one's called the Möbius Strip.

這個叫做莫比烏斯帶

Any science geeks, you get that one.

你是科學狂的話就會知道

This is the hardest level. This is the extreme.

這是最高級的 非常困難

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

所以我們先玩個正常的

and I'm going to give you 30 seconds,

我會給你們30秒的時間

every thumb into the node,

把每一個拇指放到節點裡面

connect the upper and the lower levels,

連結樓上和樓下

you guys go on down there.

你們可以到台下

Thirty seconds. Into the network. Make the node.

30秒 建立連結，形成節點

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

站起來！站起來會容易一點

Everybody, up up up up up!

所有人站起來，站起來站起來！

Stand up, my friends.

站起來吧，我的朋友

All right.

好的

Don't start wrestling yet.

還不要開始摔角

If you have a free thumb, wave it around,

如果你還有多出的拇指 揮揮手

make sure it gets connected.

確認都有連結了

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

好 做最後的確認

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

如果你還有多出的拇指 揮揮手

Grab that thumb!

抓住那個拇指！

Reach behind you. There you go.

在你後面 就是這樣

Any other thumbs?

還有其它拇指嗎？

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

好 數到三就開始

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

隨時注意。抓好抓好抓好

Okay? One, two, three, go!

好了嗎？ 一，二，三，開始！

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

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

你贏了嗎？你贏了？你贏了？ 太好了！

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Well done. Thank you. Thank you very much.

做得好。謝謝你們 非常感謝你們

All right.

好的

While you are basking in the glow

當你沈浸在你第一次

of having won your first

贏得超級多人拇指摔角

massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling game,

比賽勝利的光榮中時

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

我們來說說這當中的正面情緒

So curiosity.

「好奇心」：

I said "massively multiplayer thumb-wrestling."

當我說「超級多人拇指摔角」的時候

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

你大概會想：「她到底在說什麼？」

So I provoked a little curiosity.

我引發了一些好奇心

Creativity: it took creativity to solve the problem

「創造力」： 把所有的拇指連結到一個節點

of getting all the thumbs into the node.

需要發揮創造力

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

要和周遭以及上面的人連結

So you used creativity. That was great.

所以你們發揮了創造力 這樣很好

How about surprise? The actual feeling

那「驚喜」呢？

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

同時用兩個拇指摔角 是很讓人驚喜的事

You heard that sound go up in the room.

你聽到了這個房間裡的聲音變大了

We had excitement. As you started to wrestle,

還有「興奮」： 當你開始摔角的時候

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

你也許覺得能夠贏過那個人

so you kind of get the excitement going.

所以你開始感到興奮

We have relief. You got to stand up.

我們得到了「解脫」： 你得站起來

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

你們已經坐著好一陣子了

getting to shake it out.

身體的舒緩把疲勞一掃而空

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

我們得到了「喜悅」。你們在大笑、微笑 看看這些面孔。這個房間裡充滿了喜悅

We had some contentment.

我們感到很滿足

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

當我們在玩的時候，我沒看到有人在傳訊息 或是在看電子郵件

so you were totally content to be playing.

表示你們完全滿足於玩這個遊戲

The most important three emotions,

最重要的三個情緒、敬畏、以及驚訝

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

我們把所有人在生理上連結起來了一分鐘

When was the last time you were at TED

你們上次在TED演說當中

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

和在這房間裡的每一個人 產生連結是什麼時候？

And it's truly awesome and wondrous.

這真是令人驚訝又奇妙

And speaking of physical connection,

說到生理上的連結

you guys know I love the hormone oxytocin,

我很喜歡催產素這個荷爾蒙

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

當你分泌催產素時 你會感到跟這個房間裡的所有人產生了連結

You guys know that the best way to release oxytocin quickly

快速分泌催產素的最好方法

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

就是握住另一個人的手至少六秒

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

你們都握了遠遠超過六秒

so we are all now biochemically primed

所以我們現在正因為 生化反應的刺激而愛對方

to love each other. That is great.

這很棒

And the last emotion of pride.

最後一種情緒是「驕傲」

How many people are like me. Just admit it.

有多少人跟我一樣 承認吧

You lost both your thumbs.

你兩個拇指都輸了

It just didn't work out for you.

那這個情緒就不適用在你身上

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

但沒關係 因為你今天學了一項新技能

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

你學到，從基礎開始 一個你從來不知道的遊戲

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

現在你知道如何玩這個遊戲 你可以教別人玩

So congratulations.

恭喜你
