It's 2008,

1761
那是2008年，
00:14
and I'm just finishing
my first year of design school.
my first year of design school.
1
2571
3500
我刚刚完成
设计学院第一年的课程。
设计学院第一年的课程。
00:19
And I'm at my first year-end review,
2
7074
2857
第一学年末的评审正在进行，
00:21
which is a form of ritual torture
for design students,
for design students,
3
9955
6867
这几乎算是每个
学设计的学生的噩梦，
学设计的学生的噩梦，
00:28
where they make you take everything
you made over the course of the year
you made over the course of the year
4
16846
3723
因为需要你把
这一年课程中所有的作品
这一年课程中所有的作品
00:32
and lay it out on a table
5
20593
2340
摆在桌上，
你站在桌边，一群教授，
00:34
and stand next to it
while a bunch of professors,
while a bunch of professors,
6
22957
2861
00:37
most of whom you've never seen before,
7
25842
2721
他们中的大部分你可能都没见过，
00:40
give you their unfiltered opinions of it.
8
28587
2619
会直接给出他们的意见。
00:44
So it's my turn and I'm standing
next to my table,
next to my table,
9
32699
3191
轮到我了，我站在自己的桌子旁，
所有东西整齐排成一行，
00:47
everything neatly lined up,
10
35914
2796
00:50
and I'm just hoping
that my professors can see
that my professors can see
11
38734
3800
我只希望我的教授能看到
00:54
how much effort I've put
into making my designs practical
into making my designs practical
12
42558
5573
我为我的设计付出了多少努力，
01:00
and ergonomic and sustainable.
13
48155
3655
让它们实用，
符合人体工学，且可持续。
符合人体工学，且可持续。
01:05
And I'm starting to get really nervous,
14
53430
1860
但我开始越来越紧张，
01:07
because for a long time,
no one says anything.
no one says anything.
15
55314
3291
因为很长一段时间都没人说话。
01:10
It's just completely silent.
16
58629
1951
一片寂静。
01:13
And then one of the professors
starts to speak, and he says,
starts to speak, and he says,
17
61067
2880
终于一位教授开口了，他说，
“你的作品让我感到快乐。”
01:15
"Your work gives me a feeling of joy."
18
63971
2477
01:19
Joy?
19
67407
1150
快乐？
01:21
I wanted to be a designer
because I wanted to solve real problems.
because I wanted to solve real problems.
20
69467
3383
我做设计师是为了解决真正的问题。
01:24
Joy is nice, I guess,
but it's kind of light --
but it's kind of light --
21
72874
4358
快乐算是不错的评价吧，
但是没什么分量……
但是没什么分量……
01:29
not substantial.
22
77256
1439
不是那么实在。
01:31
But I was also kind of intrigued,
23
79921
1572
但我也觉得好奇，
因为快乐是一种无形的感受，
01:33
because joy is this intangible feeling,
24
81517
4487
01:38
and how does that come
from the stuff on the table next to me?
from the stuff on the table next to me?
25
86028
3551
为什么我桌子上的东西
会带来这种感觉呢？
会带来这种感觉呢？
01:42
I asked the professors,
26
90468
1218
我问教授，
01:43
"How do things make us feel joy?
27
91710
2409
“事物如何让我们感到快乐呢？
01:46
How do tangible things
make us feel intangible joy?"
make us feel intangible joy?"
28
94143
4963
有形的事物怎么会
让我们感受到无形的快乐呢？”
让我们感受到无形的快乐呢？”
01:52
They hemmed and hawed
and gestured a lot with their hands.
and gestured a lot with their hands.
29
100306
4184
他们嘀嘀咕咕，
挥舞双手比划了半天，
挥舞双手比划了半天，
说，“它们就是会这样！”
01:57
"They just do," they said.
30
105030
1752
01:59
I packed up my things for the summer,
31
107907
1828
我收拾完行李准备过暑假，
02:01
but I couldn't stop thinking
about this question ...
about this question ...
32
109759
3152
但还是忍不住在想这个问题，
02:06
and this launched a journey --
33
114107
1469
它也让我开始了一段旅程——
当时我并不知道
这段旅程会持续10年之久——
这段旅程会持续10年之久——
02:07
one that I didn't know at the time
would take me 10 years --
would take me 10 years --
34
115600
3132
我想去理解物理世界
和这神秘而虚幻的，
和这神秘而虚幻的，
02:10
to understand the relationship
between the physical world
between the physical world
35
118756
3463
02:14
and the mysterious,
quixotic emotion we call "joy."
quixotic emotion we call "joy."
36
122243
4980
我们称之为“快乐”的情感
到底有什么关系。
到底有什么关系。
02:20
And what I discovered
is that not only are they linked,
is that not only are they linked,
37
128007
4130
我发现，它们之间不仅有联系，
02:24
but that the physical world
can be a powerful resource to us
can be a powerful resource to us
38
132161
3634
而且物理世界对我们来说，
02:27
in creating happier, healthier lives.
39
135819
3605
可以成为打造更快乐，
更健康生活的有利资源。
更健康生活的有利资源。
02:32
After my review,
40
140362
1179
在那次评审过后，
02:33
I thought, "I know what joy feels like,
41
141565
2473
我在想，“我知道快乐是什么感觉，
02:36
but what is it, exactly?"
42
144062
2309
但快乐到底是什么呢？”
我发现就连科学家
也得不出一致的结论，
也得不出一致的结论，
02:38
And I found that even scientists
don't always agree,
don't always agree,
43
146717
3427
02:42
and they sometimes use the words "joy"
and "happiness" and "positivity"
and "happiness" and "positivity"
44
150168
3475
他们有时候会将“快乐”
“幸福”和“乐观”这几个词
“幸福”和“乐观”这几个词
02:45
more or less interchangeably.
45
153667
1794
互换着来用。
02:48
But broadly speaking,
when psychologists use the word joy,
when psychologists use the word joy,
46
156989
2889
但大体上来说，当心理学家
使用快乐这个词的时候，
使用快乐这个词的时候，
02:51
what they mean is an intense,
momentary experience
momentary experience
47
159902
3405
他们所指的是一种强烈却短暂的，
02:55
of positive emotion --
48
163331
1443
乐观的情绪过程，
02:56
one that makes us smile and laugh
and feel like we want to jump up and down.
and feel like we want to jump up and down.
49
164798
3997
会让我们微笑、大笑，
兴奋得想要跳起来。
兴奋得想要跳起来。
其实这是一种技术性的过程。
03:01
And this is actually a technical thing.
50
169152
1859
那种想跳起来的感觉
03:03
That feeling of wanting
to jump up and down
to jump up and down
51
171035
2001
是衡量快乐的一种方式。
03:05
is one of the ways
that scientists measure joy.
that scientists measure joy.
52
173060
3261
03:09
It's different than happiness,
53
177387
1618
这跟幸福有所不同，
03:11
which measures how good we feel over time.
54
179029
2635
幸福是一种更加长久的感觉。
03:13
Joy is about feeling good in the moment,
55
181688
2984
而快乐指的是在那一刻感觉很好，
是当下的感觉。
03:16
right now.
56
184696
1150
03:19
And this was interesting to me
57
187007
1474
这一点让我很感兴趣，
因为作为一种文化，
我们总是痴迷于追求幸福，
我们总是痴迷于追求幸福，
03:20
because as a culture, we are obsessed
with the pursuit of happiness,
with the pursuit of happiness,
58
188505
3518
03:24
and yet in the process,
we kind of overlook joy.
we kind of overlook joy.
59
192047
3860
然而在这个过程中，
我们往往忽略了快乐。
我们往往忽略了快乐。
03:30
So this got me thinking:
60
198737
3167
这不禁让我思考：
03:33
Where does joy come from?
61
201928
1938
快乐到底是从何而来的？
03:36
I started asking everyone I knew,
62
204797
1573
我开始询问每一个认识的人，
03:38
and even people I just met on the street,
63
206394
2941
甚至是在街头偶遇的人，
03:41
about the things that brought them joy.
64
209359
1860
是什么让他们感到快乐。
03:43
On the subway, in a café, on an airplane,
65
211243
2913
在地铁上、咖啡馆中、飞机上，
03:46
it was, "Hi, nice to meet you.
What brings you joy?"
What brings you joy?"
66
214180
3245
我开门见山，“嗨，很高兴认识你。
什么会让你感到快乐呢？”
什么会让你感到快乐呢？”
03:50
I felt like a detective.
67
218544
1776
我感觉自己像个侦探，不停问
“你最近一次看到
让你快乐的东西是什么时候？
让你快乐的东西是什么时候？
03:52
I was like, "When did you last see it?
68
220867
1925
03:54
Who were you with? What color was it?
69
222816
1787
当时你跟谁在一起？
它是什么颜色的？
它是什么颜色的？
还有其他人也看到它了吗？”
03:56
Did anyone else see it?"
70
224627
1175
03:58
I was the Nancy Drew of joy.
71
226353
2254
我就是快乐界的神探南希。
04:00
(Laughter)
72
228631
1150
（笑声）
04:02
And after a few months of this,
I noticed that there were certain things
I noticed that there were certain things
73
230579
3381
几个月后，我发现
有一些特定的事物
有一些特定的事物
04:05
that started to come up again
and again and again.
and again and again.
74
233984
3053
会一而再，再而三的出现。
04:09
They were things like cherry blossoms
75
237061
3283
比如樱花，
04:12
and bubbles ...
76
240368
1304
肥皂泡，
04:14
swimming pools and tree houses ...
77
242810
3119
游泳池，树屋，
04:19
hot air balloons and googly eyes --
78
247728
3718
热气球，还有大眼睛——
04:23
(Laughter)
79
251470
1079
（笑声）
还有冰淇淋甜筒，
尤其是上面撒了糖豆的那种。
尤其是上面撒了糖豆的那种。
04:24
and ice cream cones,
especially the ones with the sprinkles.
especially the ones with the sprinkles.
80
252573
3105
04:29
These things seemed to cut across lines
of age and gender and ethnicity.
of age and gender and ethnicity.
81
257172
4865
这些东西跨越了年龄、
性别和种族的界限。
性别和种族的界限。
04:34
I mean, if you think about it,
82
262543
1477
仔细想想，
我们都会停下脚步，
抬头看向天空，
抬头看向天空，
04:36
we all stop and turn our heads to the sky
83
264044
1960
只因为有一道绚丽的
彩虹横跨半空。
彩虹横跨半空。
04:38
when the multicolored arc
of a rainbow streaks across it.
of a rainbow streaks across it.
84
266028
2803
04:41
And fireworks --
85
269909
1539
还有烟火，
我们都不需要知道是在庆祝什么，
04:43
we don't even need to know
what they're for,
what they're for,
86
271472
2088
04:45
and we feel like we're celebrating, too.
87
273584
2867
心里也会有喜庆的感觉。
04:50
These things aren't joyful
for just a few people;
for just a few people;
88
278860
2748
这些东西不仅仅
会让一部分人感到快乐，
会让一部分人感到快乐，
04:53
they're joyful for nearly everyone.
89
281632
2829
它们几乎对所有人都有效，
04:56
They're universally joyful.
90
284485
2061
会让所有人开心。
05:00
And seeing them all together,
91
288504
2379
看到这些东西在一起出现，
05:02
it gave me this indescribably
hopeful feeling.
hopeful feeling.
92
290907
3681
让我有一种难以描述的、
充满希望的感觉。
充满希望的感觉。
05:08
The sharply divided,
politically polarized world we live in
politically polarized world we live in
93
296012
3089
我们生活在一个分化严重、
政治对立的世界，
政治对立的世界，
05:11
sometimes has the effect
of making our differences feel so vast
of making our differences feel so vast
94
299125
5030
有时候人与人之间的
差异如此巨大，
差异如此巨大，
05:16
as to be insurmountable.
95
304179
1901
巨大到仿佛无法跨越。
05:18
And yet underneath it all,
96
306104
1292
然而在表象之下，
05:19
there's a part of each of us
that finds joy in the same things.
that finds joy in the same things.
97
307420
3632
我们还是能
在相同的事物中找到快乐。
在相同的事物中找到快乐。
05:24
And though we're often told
that these are just passing pleasures,
that these are just passing pleasures,
98
312156
4127
尽管别人经常会告诉我们，
这些乐趣转瞬即逝，
这些乐趣转瞬即逝，
05:28
in fact, they're really important,
99
316307
2554
但实际上，它们还是挺重要的，
05:30
because they remind us
of the shared humanity we find
of the shared humanity we find
100
318885
3452
因为它们能提醒我们，
我们有着共同的人性，
我们有着共同的人性，
05:34
in our common experience
of the physical world.
of the physical world.
101
322361
2812
这来源于我们在探索
物理世界时共同的经历。
物理世界时共同的经历。
05:38
But I still needed to know:
102
326309
1445
但我还是需要搞清楚：
05:39
What is it about these things
that makes them so joyful?
that makes them so joyful?
103
327778
4655
这些让他们快乐的事物
到底是怎么回事？
到底是怎么回事？
05:45
I had pictures of them
up on my studio wall,
up on my studio wall,
104
333299
2908
我把这些照片挂在工作室的墙上，
05:48
and every day, I would come in
and try to make sense of it.
and try to make sense of it.
105
336231
3317
每天我都会去那里，想弄清楚原因。
05:52
And then one day, something just clicked.
106
340662
2632
突然有一天，我恍然大悟。
05:56
I saw all these patterns:
107
344144
2158
我发现了某些规律：
05:59
round things ...
108
347422
1293
圆形的东西，
06:01
pops of bright color ...
109
349969
1936
绚丽的色彩，
06:05
symmetrical shapes ...
110
353512
1699
对称的形状，
06:08
a sense of abundance and multiplicity ...
111
356636
2797
丰富和多样性，
06:12
a feeling of lightness or elevation.
112
360877
3384
明亮或者在高空的感觉。
用这种方式来观察的时候，
06:17
When I saw it this way,
113
365328
1151
我发现尽管快乐的感觉
有点神秘。又难以捕捉，
有点神秘。又难以捕捉，
06:18
I realized that though the feeling of joy
is mysterious and elusive,
is mysterious and elusive,
114
366503
4079
但我们可以通过一些
可触摸的、物理的特性来得到它，
可触摸的、物理的特性来得到它，
06:22
we can access it through tangible,
physical attributes,
physical attributes,
115
370606
3318
06:25
or what designers call aesthetics,
116
373948
2814
或者用设计师的话说，通过审美，
06:28
a word that comes from the same root
as the Greek word "aísthomai,"
as the Greek word "aísthomai,"
117
376786
3646
这个词来源于希腊语的
同根词“aisthomai”，
同根词“aisthomai”，
06:32
which means, "I feel,"
"I sense," "I perceive."
"I sense," "I perceive."
118
380456
3996
意思是我感觉，我感受，我察觉。
06:37
And since these patterns were telling me
that joy begins with the senses,
that joy begins with the senses,
119
385668
4451
这些规律告诉我们，
快乐来源于感觉，
快乐来源于感觉，
06:42
I began calling them "Aesthetics of Joy";
120
390143
2843
我于是称之为“快乐审美”，
06:45
the sensations of joy.
121
393010
1949
也就是对于快乐的感知。
06:48
And in the wake of this discovery,
122
396484
1628
伴随着这个发现，
我开始注意身边的一些事情，
06:50
I noticed something
that as I walked around,
that as I walked around,
123
398136
2145
06:52
I began spotting little moments
of joy everywhere I went --
of joy everywhere I went --
124
400305
5091
留意那些让我快乐的瞬间，
无论我身处何处——
无论我身处何处——
06:57
a vintage yellow car
125
405420
1356
一辆复古的黄色小汽车，
06:58
or a clever piece of street art.
126
406800
1922
一件巧妙的街头艺术。
07:00
It was like I had a pair
of rose-colored glasses,
of rose-colored glasses,
127
408746
4733
我觉得自己就像
戴着一副粉红眼镜，
戴着一副粉红眼镜，
07:05
and now that I knew what to look for,
128
413503
2860
知道自己在找什么之后，
07:08
I was seeing it everywhere.
129
416387
1354
我在哪儿都能找到快乐。
07:09
It was like these little moments of joy
were hidden in plain sight.
were hidden in plain sight.
130
417765
3429
这些快乐的小瞬间
就藏在我们眼皮底下。
就藏在我们眼皮底下。
07:14
And at the same time,
131
422870
1578
与此同时，
07:16
I had another realization,
132
424472
1333
我还发现，
07:17
that if these are the things
that bring us joy,
that bring us joy,
133
425829
3049
如果刚刚提到的这些东西
能带给我们快乐，
能带给我们快乐，
07:20
then why does so much
of the world look like this?
of the world look like this?
134
428902
2475
那为什么很多地方
看起来是这样的？
看起来是这样的？
（笑声）
07:23
(Laughter)
135
431401
1589
07:25
Why do we go to work here?
136
433014
1531
为什么我们要去这样的地方上班？
07:27
Why do we send our kids to schools
that look like this?
that look like this?
137
435476
2689
为什么我们要把孩子
送到这样的地方上学？
送到这样的地方上学？
07:31
Why do our cities look like this?
138
439384
2018
为什么我们的城市是这样的？
07:34
And this is most acute for the places
that house the people
that house the people
139
442256
4811
而下面这些地方是最糟糕的，
07:39
that are most vulnerable among us:
140
447091
2128
因为我们中间
最脆弱的那些人住在这里：
最脆弱的那些人住在这里：
07:41
nursing homes,
141
449243
1333
疗养院，
07:43
hospitals,
142
451312
1200
医院，
07:45
homeless shelters,
143
453413
1393
收容所，
住宅项目。
07:47
housing projects.
144
455473
1375
07:49
How did we end up in a world
that looks like this?
that looks like this?
145
457925
3214
为什么我们的世界
会变成这个样子？
会变成这个样子？
07:54
We all start out joyful,
146
462992
2078
我们小时候都非常快乐，
07:57
but as we get older,
147
465094
3574
但随着年龄的增长，
08:00
being colorful or exuberant
opens us up to judgment.
opens us up to judgment.
148
468692
4513
太过色彩绚丽或者热情洋溢
会让我们遭受非议。
会让我们遭受非议。
08:05
Adults who exhibit genuine joy
are often dismissed as childish
are often dismissed as childish
149
473883
5175
成年人如果展现出纯粹的快乐，
经常就会被误解为孩子气，
经常就会被误解为孩子气，
08:11
or too feminine
150
479082
2060
或者太女性化，
08:13
or unserious
151
481166
2162
或者不够严肃，
08:15
or self-indulgent,
152
483352
1964
或者有些自我放纵，
08:18
and so we hold ourselves back from joy,
153
486139
3595
于是我们开始远离快乐，
08:21
and we end up in a world
that looks like this.
that looks like this.
154
489758
2583
于是我们的世界
就变成了这个样子。
就变成了这个样子。
08:25
But if the aesthetics of joy can be used
155
493936
1906
但如果快乐审美能帮助我们
08:27
to help us find more joy
in the world around us,
in the world around us,
156
495866
2262
在身边发现更多快乐，
08:30
then couldn't they also be used
to create more joy?
to create more joy?
157
498152
2686
那它能不能帮助
我们制造快乐呢？
我们制造快乐呢？
08:33
I spent that last two years
scouring the planet,
scouring the planet,
158
501537
2434
我花了至少两年的时间四处寻觅，
08:35
looking for different ways
that people have answered this question.
that people have answered this question.
159
503995
3959
寻找不同的人来回答这个问题。
08:40
And this led me to the work
of the artist Arakawa
of the artist Arakawa
160
508719
2513
我找到了画家阿拉卡瓦，
08:43
and the poet Madeline Gins,
161
511256
1731
还有诗人玛德琳 · 基恩斯，
08:45
who believed that these kinds
of environments are literally killing us.
of environments are literally killing us.
162
513011
4792
他们认为这样的环境正在毁灭我们。
08:50
And so they set out the create
an apartment building
an apartment building
163
518686
3833
于是他们打算建一栋公寓楼，
08:54
that they believed would reverse aging.
164
522543
2515
可以帮助我们逆生长。
08:58
And this is it.
165
526313
1170
它长这样。
09:00
(Laughter)
166
528026
3215
（笑声）
09:03
(Applause)
167
531265
3493
（掌声）
09:06
It's a real place, just outside Tokyo.
168
534782
2969
这栋房子真的存在，
就在东京郊外。
就在东京郊外。
09:09
I spent a night there, and it's a lot.
169
537775
3627
我在那儿住过一晚，
但那一晚有点漫长。
但那一晚有点漫长。
09:13
(Laughter)
170
541426
2699
（笑声）
09:16
The floors undulate,
171
544149
1737
地板是起伏不平的，
09:17
so you don't end up walking around
172
545910
2265
因此你无法在屋子里正常行走，
09:20
so much as kind of bouncing
around the apartment,
around the apartment,
173
548199
2502
只能跌跌撞撞地前进，
09:22
and there are bright colors
in every direction.
in every direction.
174
550725
4232
到处是明亮的色彩。
09:28
I'm not sure I left any younger,
175
556265
2337
我不知道离开的时候
有没有变年轻一点，
有没有变年轻一点，
09:30
but it's as if, by trying
to create an apartment
to create an apartment
176
558626
4204
但他们的确是想建一所公寓，
09:34
that would make us feel youthful,
177
562854
2072
可以让我们感觉年轻，
09:36
they ended up creating
one that was joyful.
one that was joyful.
178
564950
3330
这所公寓给我们带来了快乐。
09:41
And yes, this is a bit much
for everyday life,
for everyday life,
179
569277
2532
当然，如果每天都这样，
会有点吃不消，
会有点吃不消，
09:43
but it made me wonder:
What about the rest of us?
What about the rest of us?
180
571833
3406
但是这让我思考：
我们其他人该怎么办呢？
我们其他人该怎么办呢？
09:47
How do we bring these ideas
back into the real world?
back into the real world?
181
575263
4411
我们如何把这些想法带回给大众？
09:52
So I started finding people
who were doing just that.
who were doing just that.
182
580621
2688
于是我开始寻找
那些在做同样事情的人。
那些在做同样事情的人。
09:55
For example, this hospital, designed
by the Danish artist Poul Gernes.
by the Danish artist Poul Gernes.
183
583939
4004
比如这家医院，
是丹麦画家波尔 · 杰恩斯设计的。
是丹麦画家波尔 · 杰恩斯设计的。
10:00
Or these schools,
184
588674
1480
还有这些学校，
10:02
transformed by the non-profit Publicolor.
185
590178
2448
由非盈利机构“公众色彩”改造。
10:05
What's interesting is that Publicolor
has heard from school administrators
has heard from school administrators
186
593195
3539
有意思的是，“公众色彩”
从学校管理者那里得到反馈，
从学校管理者那里得到反馈，
10:08
who say that attendance improves,
187
596758
3130
说出勤率上升了，
10:11
graffiti disappears
188
599912
1876
也没有涂鸦了，
10:13
and kids actually say they feel safer
in these painted schools.
in these painted schools.
189
601812
3741
孩子们说，彩色的学校
让他们感到更安全。
让他们感到更安全。
10:18
And this aligns with research
conducted in four countries,
conducted in four countries,
190
606090
2997
有一项在4个国家开展的研究
也证实了这一点，
也证实了这一点，
10:21
which shows that people
working in more colorful offices
working in more colorful offices
191
609111
3627
在彩色办公室里工作的人
10:24
are actually more alert,
192
612762
1655
会更加机敏，
10:26
more confident
193
614441
1257
更加自信，
10:27
and friendlier than those
working in drab spaces.
working in drab spaces.
194
615722
2947
更加友好，比那些
在单色调办公室的人表现要好。
在单色调办公室的人表现要好。
10:32
Why would this be the case?
195
620620
1592
为什么会这样呢？
10:34
Well, as I started to trace back
our love of color,
our love of color,
196
622236
3991
我开始回顾我们对色彩的喜爱，
10:38
I found that some researchers
see a connection to our evolution.
see a connection to our evolution.
197
626251
4302
我发现，有些研究者认为
这跟我们的进化有关。
这跟我们的进化有关。
10:43
Color, in a very primal way,
is a sign of life, a sign of energy.
is a sign of life, a sign of energy.
198
631292
5271
颜色，从最原始的角度来看，
象征着生命和活力。
象征着生命和活力。
10:49
And the same is true of abundance.
199
637063
2029
同时也象征着真正的富足。
10:51
We evolved in a world
where scarcity is dangerous,
where scarcity is dangerous,
200
639116
3350
在我们生存的世界，匮乏是危险的，
10:54
and abundance meant survival.
201
642490
2685
而富足意味着生存。
10:58
So, one confetto --
202
646091
3223
所以，一片小纸屑 （confetto）——
11:01
which happens to be
the singular of confetti,
the singular of confetti,
203
649338
2230
就是漫天飞舞的
纸屑（confetti）中的一片，
纸屑（confetti）中的一片，
11:03
in case you were wondering --
204
651592
1397
是的，我就是这么精确——
11:05
(Laughter)
205
653013
1365
（笑声）
11:06
isn't very joyful,
206
654402
2061
并不那么有趣，
11:08
but multiply it,
207
656487
1423
但如果是很多纸屑，
11:09
and you have a handful
of one of the most joyful substances
of one of the most joyful substances
208
657934
2763
你就拥有了这个星球上
11:12
on the planet.
209
660721
1150
最有趣的东西。
11:14
The architect Emmanuelle Moureaux
uses this idea in her work a lot.
uses this idea in her work a lot.
210
662494
3985
建筑师爱玛努埃勒 · 穆罗
在很多作品中运用了这一点。

11:18
This is a nursing home she designed,
211
666503
1792
这是她设计的一座疗养院，
11:20
where she uses these multicolored spheres
to create a feeling of abundance.

212
668319
4437
她用许多五颜六色的球体
来营造一种富足的感觉。
来营造一种富足的感觉。
11:25
And what about all those
round things I noticed?
round things I noticed?
213
673752
2264
关于圆形的东西，
我有什么发现呢？
我有什么发现呢？
11:29
Well, it turns out neuroscientists
have studied this, too.
have studied this, too.
214
677159
3292
神经学家已经做过研究。
11:32
They put people into fMRI machines,
215
680475
2421
他们把人放进功能性磁共振成像机，
11:34
and they showed them pictures
of angular objects and round ones.
of angular objects and round ones.
216
682920
4347
分别给他们看带尖角的
和圆形的物体。
和圆形的物体。
11:40
And what they found is that the amygdala,
217
688011
2406
他们发现杏仁核，
11:42
a part of the brain associated
in part with fear and anxiety,
in part with fear and anxiety,
218
690441
3626
就是大脑中与恐惧
和焦虑有关的部分，
和焦虑有关的部分，
11:46
lit up when people
looked at angular objects,
looked at angular objects,
219
694091
2189
会在看向尖锐物体的时候被点亮，
11:48
but not when they looked
at the round ones.
at the round ones.
220
696304
2000
而看向圆形物体的时候则没有。
11:51
They speculate that because
angles in nature
angles in nature
221
699310
3520
他们推测因为自然界中的尖角，
11:54
are often associated with objects
that might be dangerous to us,
that might be dangerous to us,
222
702854
3533
往往跟危险的东西有关，
于是看到尖锐的物体，
我们会下意识地变得警觉，
我们会下意识地变得警觉，
11:58
that we evolved an unconscious
sense of caution around these shapes,
sense of caution around these shapes,
223
706411
5015
12:03
whereas curves set us at ease.
224
711450
2595
而曲线会让我们放松。
12:06
You can see this in action
in the new Sandy Hook Elementary School.
in the new Sandy Hook Elementary School.
225
714637
3876
这一发现已经在
桑迪 · 胡克小学得以应用。
桑迪 · 胡克小学得以应用。
12:11
After the mass shooting there in 2012,
226
719257
2003
2012年大规模枪击案发生后，
12:13
the architects Svigals + Partners
227
721284
1969
建筑师斯维格斯和他的同事们
12:15
knew that they needed to create
a building that was secure,
a building that was secure,
228
723277
3263
知道他们需要建一栋安全的建筑，
12:18
but they wanted to create
one that was joyful,
one that was joyful,
229
726564
2247
但他们想建一栋有趣的建筑，
12:20
and so they filled it with curves.
230
728835
1693
于是他们运用了很多曲线的设计。
12:22
There are waves running
along the side of the building,
along the side of the building,
231
730552
2841
建筑物的边是波浪形的，
12:25
and these squiggly canopies
over the entryway,
over the entryway,
232
733417
3341
入口通道的顶棚也是弯曲的，
12:28
and the whole building bends
toward the entrance
toward the entrance
233
736782
2904
整栋建筑向着入口弯曲
12:31
in a welcoming gesture.
234
739710
1656
摆出欢迎的姿势。
12:35
Each moment of joy is small,
235
743726
2623
快乐的时光总是短暂的，
但随着时间推移，
这些快乐会叠加出更明显的效果。
这些快乐会叠加出更明显的效果。
12:38
but over time, they add up to more
than the sum of their parts.
than the sum of their parts.
236
746373
4210
12:44
And so maybe instead
of chasing after happiness,
of chasing after happiness,
237
752553
3339
所以与其去追求幸福，
12:47
what we should be doing is embracing joy
238
755916
3178
其实我们更应该拥抱快乐，
想办法让自己在
快乐的路上停留更久。
快乐的路上停留更久。
12:51
and finding ways to put ourselves
in the path of it more often.
in the path of it more often.
239
759118
4945
12:57
Deep within us,
240
765697
1189
因为在内心深处，
12:58
we all have this impulse
to seek out joy in our surroundings.
to seek out joy in our surroundings.
241
766910
4898
我们都想在自己周围寻找快乐。
13:04
And we have it for a reason.
242
772453
2099
这是有原因的。
13:07
Joy isn't some superfluous extra.
243
775223
3452
快乐并不是锦上添花的事情。
13:11
It's directly connected to our fundamental
instinct for survival.
instinct for survival.
244
779573
5120
它直接与我们的生存本能相关联。
13:17
On the most basic level,
245
785885
2244
从最基本的层面来说，
13:20
the drive toward joy
is the drive toward life.
is the drive toward life.
246
788153
4728
追求快乐，就是追求生命。
13:25

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ingrid Fetell Lee - Designer, writerIngrid Fetell Lee studies joy and reveals how we can find more of it in the world around us.
Why you should listen
Ingrid Fetell Lee has devoted ten years to answering the question: "How do tangible things create intangible joy?" Drawing on research from the fields of neuroscience and psychology, her book, Joyful, and her blog "The Aesthetics of Joy" explore the powerful connection between our surroundings and our emotions, and empower people to find more joy in daily life through design.
Lee has more than twelve years of experience in design and branding, most recently as design director at global innovation firm IDEO. She has been featured as an expert on design and joy by outlets such as the New York Times, Wired, PRI's Studio 360, CBC's Spark and Fast Company.
Lee holds a Master's in industrial design from Pratt Institute and a Bachelor's in English and creative writing from Princeton University, and she was a founding faculty member in the Products of Design program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Joyful, her first book, will be published in North America by Little, Brown on September 4th.
