TED演讲之身体语言 微笑背后隐藏的力量(1)

When I was a child, I always wanted to be a superhero. I wanted to save the world and make everyone happy.

小时候,我一直梦想成为一个超级英雄。我想要拯救世界并让所有人快乐。

But I knew that I'd need superpowers to make my dreams come true.

但我知道我需要拥有超能力来实现梦想。

So I used to embark on these imaginary journeys to find intergalactic objects from planet Krypton, which was a lot of fun, but didn't yield much result.

于是我经常幻想在银河间寻找超人的故乡氪星,这可有意思了,只不过一直没有找到。

When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for superpowers,

长大以后,我才明白科幻小说并不是超能力的源头,

I decided instead to embark on a journey of real science, to find a more useful truth.

我于是决定踏上真正的科学旅程寻找更有意义的真相。

I started my journey in California, with a UC Berkeley 30-year longitudinal study that examined the photos of students in an old yearbook,

加利福尼亚州是我旅程的起点,我学习了加州大学伯克利分校一项长达30年的研究,这项研究对一本旧年册上学生的照片进行了分析,

and tried to measure their success and well-being throughout their life.

试图对他们毕生的成功与幸福进行测量。

By measuring the students' smiles, researchers were able to predict how fulfilling and long-lasting a subject's marriage would be,

通过衡量学生的微笑,研究者们得以预测一个研究对象的婚姻,持续时间与美满程度

how well she would score on standardized tests of well-being, and how inspiring she would be to others.

她在幸福感标准考试中能够得多少分,以及她能给其他人带来多少启发。

In another yearbook, I stumbled upon Barry Obama's picture. When I first saw his picture, I thought that his superpowers came from his super collar.

在另一本年册中,我翻到了巴里·奥巴马的照片。第一眼看到这张照片时,我以为他的超能力是来自于他超大的领子。

But now I know it was all in his smile.

但是现在我知道其实是来自他的微笑。
