I’m a gamer, so I like to have goals. I like special missions and secret objectives.

我是一个游戏玩家，因此我喜欢得分。我喜欢特殊的使命和神秘的目标。

So here’s my special mission for this talk:

因此，我这次演讲的特殊使命是：

I’m going to try to increase the life span of every single person in this room by seven and a half minutes.

我将尽力为这个大厅里的每个人延长七分半钟寿命。

Literally, you will live seven and a half minutes longer than you would have otherwise, just because you watched this talk.

的确，你将比你原来多活七分半钟就只因为你来看了这个演讲。

Some of you are looking a little bit skeptical.

恩，你们有些人看起来有些怀疑。

That’s okay, because check it out — I have math to prove that it is possible.

没关系，看一看吧，我做了算数去证明它是有可能的。

It won’t make much sense now. I’ll explain it all later,

现在，听起来不符合常理我过一会解释，

just pay attention to the number at the bottom: +7.68245837 minutes.

只要注意一下最下方的数字：加上7.68245837分钟。

That will be my gift to you if I’m successful in my mission.

如果我成功完成我的使命这七分钟将是我给你们的礼物。

Now, you have a secret mission too.

现在，你也有一个秘密的使命。

Your mission is to figure out how you want to spend your extra seven and a half minutes.

你的使命是想想怎么花掉这多余的七分半钟。

And I think you should do something unusual with them, because these are bonus minutes.

我认为你应该用这点时间做点不寻常的事，因为这是本不属于你意外的收获。

You weren’t going to have them anyway.

你在其他地方可能都难以得到。

Now, because I’m a game designer, you might be thinking to yourself,

现在因为我是一个游戏设计师，你可能正在想，

I know what she wants us to do with those minutes, she wants us to spend them playing games.

我知道她想我们在这几分钟里做啥，她想让我们花时间玩游戏。

Now this is a totally reasonable assumption,

就现在而言，这是一个完全合理的假设。

given that I have made quite a habit of encouraging people to spend more time playing games.

就大家知道的而言，我习惯鼓励大家多花时间去玩游戏，

For example, in my first TED Talk,

比如说，在我第一次的TED Talk时，

I did propose that we should spend 21 billion hours a week, as a planet, playing video games.

我建议每个星期全球花两百一十亿个小时去打电子游戏。
