TED演讲之生存故事 吉尔伯特·泰勒的奇迹(2)
If you’ve ever seen a human brain, it’s obvious that the two hemispheres are completely separate from one another.
不知道各位是否见过人类的大脑，很明显，它是由两个独立的半球组成。
And I have brought for you a real human brain. So this is a real human brain.
今天我给大家带来了一个真实的人脑。看，这就是一个真实的人脑，
This is the front of the brain, the back of brain with the spinal cord hanging down, and this is how it would be positioned inside of my head.
这是大脑的前面，这是后面，大家还可以看到延伸的脊髓，它就是这样存在于我们的脑袋里的。
And when you look at the brain, it’s obvious that the two cerebral cortices are completely separate from one another.
当我们再看这个大脑的时候，我们可以轻易的发现这两个半球的大脑皮质是完全分开的。
For those of you who understand computers, our right hemisphere functions like a parallel processor, while our left hemisphere functions like a serial processor.
各位都知道电脑的工作原理，我们的右半脑的功能就像一个并行处理机，我们的左脑半球就像一个串行处理机。
The two hemispheres do communicate with one another through the corpus callosum, which is made up of some 300 million axonal fibers.
这两个半球，由胼胝体连接在一起，使两个半球的神经传导得以互通。胼胝体是由三亿轴体光纤组成的。
But other than that, the two hemispheres are completely separate.
但是除了那些联系，这两个半球则是完全独立的。
Because they process information differently, each of our hemispheres think about different things, they care about different things,
因为它们传达的信息不同，我们每个脑半球的思考的东西也不一样，它们掌管的区域不一样，
and, dare I say, they have very different personalities.
我敢说，它们有不同的特性。
Excuse me. Thank you. It’s been a joy. Assistant: It has been.
打扰以下，谢谢你。很有意思吧。有意思。
Our right human hemisphere is all about this present moment. It’s all about “right here, right now.”
我们的右脑半球负责我们现在的事情。它的内容就是：“此时，此刻。”
Our right hemisphere, it thinks in pictures and it learns kinesthetically through the movement of our bodies.
而且我们的右脑半球，它是形象思维，它通过我们身体的运动来感知。
Information, in the form of energy, streams in simultaneously through all of our sensory systems
信息，以能量的形式，通过我们的感官系统同时注入大脑，
and then it explodes into this enormous collage of what this present moment looks like,
然后再分解成无数的抽象的拼图，继而呈现我们现在看起来是什么样，
what this present moment smells like and tastes like, what it feels like and what it sounds like.
此刻有什么气味和味道，此刻的感觉是什么？听到了什么声音？
I am an energy-being connected to the energy all around me through the consciousness of my right hemisphere.
通过大脑右半球的感觉，使得自身的能量和周围的能量相结合。
We are energy-beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.
通过我们右半脑的感觉，我们都是一个个互相联系的能量体，如同一个家庭。
And right here, right now, we are brothers and sisters on this planet, here to make the world a better place.
此时，此刻，我们都是同一个星球上的兄弟姐妹，我们的目标是让这个世界更加的美好。
And in this moment we are perfect, we are whole and we are beautiful.
而且此时此刻，我们和谐的生活在一起，我们是一个和谐的整体。
演讲简介：
吉尔伯特泰勒所拥有的研究机会不是每一位脑科学家都所希望拥有的：她有严重中风，并且观察到她大脑的功能–运动，语言，自我意识-一个接一个关闭。这真是令人惊讶的故事。
