【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 s, all differentethnicities. Maybe people are initially unfortable with those roommates, butthe amazing thing is, at the end of a year with those students, theyamp。39。re able toovere that initial disfort. Theyamp。39。re able to find deeplevel monalitieswith people.
　　在哈佛，如果去看住宿的團(tuán)體，會(huì)有新鮮人住宿團(tuán)體，人們不選擇室友。他們都是不同的種族、不同的人種。許多人一開始對(duì)自己的室友感到不舒服，但，讓人驚奇的是，在年末，那些學(xué)生能夠克服一開始的不舒服。他們能在人身上找到更深層的共同性。
　　So the takeaway here is not just amp。quot。takesomeone out to coffee.amp。quot。 Itamp。39。s a little more subtle. Itamp。39。s amp。quot。go to thecoffee room.amp。quot。 When researchers talk about social hubs, what makes a socialhub so special is you canamp。39。t choose。 you canamp。39。t predict who youamp。39。re going to meetin that place. And so with these social hubs, the paradox is, interestinglyenough, to get randomness, it requires, actually, some planning.
　　這里要給各位的訊息不只是「找人出去喝杯咖啡」。還要更微妙一點(diǎn)。是「去咖啡廳」。當(dāng)研究者談?wù)撋缃恢行臅r(shí)　，社交中心之所以特別，就是因?yàn)槟銦o法選擇。你無法預(yù)測(cè)你在那個(gè)地方會(huì)遇見誰。關(guān)于這些社交中心，有趣的是一個(gè)矛盾：若要有隨機(jī)性，需要的其實(shí)是規(guī)劃。
　　In one university that I worked at, there was a mail room on every single floor. Whatthat meant is that the only people who would bump into each other are those whoare actually on that floor and who are bumping into each other anyway. At another university I worked at, there was only one mail room, so all the faculty from all over that building would run into each other in that social simple change in planning, a huge difference in the traffic of people and theaccidental bumps in the network.
　　在我工作的其中一間大學(xué)，在每層樓都有一間收發(fā)室。那就意味著，會(huì)巧遇到的人都只有在同一層樓的人，而他們本來就會(huì)遇見彼此。在我工作的另一間大學(xué)，只有一間收發(fā)室，所以整棟大樓所有的教職員就會(huì)在那社交中心巧遇彼此。在規(guī)劃上做個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的改變，就能對(duì)人的交流及網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的意外巧遇造成很大的不同。
　　Hereamp。39。s my question for you: What are youdoing that breaks you from your social habits? Where do you find yourself inplaces where you get injections of unpredictable diversity? And my studentsgive me some wonderful examples. They tell me when theyamp。39。re doing pickupbasketball games, or my favorite example is when they go to a dog park. Theytell me itamp。39。s even better than online dating when theyamp。39。re there.
　　我想要問各位的問題是：你能做什么，來讓你脫離你的社交習(xí)慣?你在什么地方能夠被注入無法預(yù)測(cè)的多樣性?我的學(xué)生給了我一些很棒的例子。他們告訴我：在比賽籃球時(shí)，和我最愛的例子──去公園遛狗時(shí)。他們告訴我，在那里甚至比在線約會(huì)還要更好。
　　So the real thing that I want you to thinkabout is weamp。39。ve got to fight our filters. Weamp。39。ve got to make ourselves a littlemore inefficient, and by doing so, we are creating a more imprecise socialsearch engine. And youamp。39。re creating that randomness, that luck that is going tocause you to widen your travels, through your social universe.
　　我真正希望各位去思考，我們得要對(duì)抗我們的篩選器。我們得要讓自己不那么有效率，這么做時(shí)，我們就是在創(chuàng)造一個(gè)不那么精準(zhǔn)的社交搜索引擎。你是在創(chuàng)造隨機(jī)性，它就是運(yùn)氣，能拓展你在社交宇宙中所旅行的范圍。
　　But in fact, thereamp。39。s more to it than we actually buy ourselves a secondclass ticket to travel our socialuniverse. We are not courageous when we reach out to people. Let me give you anexample of that. A few years ago, I had a very eventful year. That year, Imanaged to lose a job, I managed to get a dream job overseas and accept it, Ihad a baby the next month, I got very sick, I was unable to take the dream job.
　　但，事實(shí)上，不只是如此。有時(shí)，我們真的會(huì)買到二等艙的票，在我們的社交宇宙中旅行。當(dāng)我們接觸別人時(shí)，我們不夠勇敢。讓我舉個(gè)例子。幾年前，我有一年遇到非常多事。那一年，我失去了一個(gè)工作，在海外得到了一個(gè)夢(mèng)想的工作，且我接受了，再下一個(gè)月我生了孩子，我病得非常重，我無法去接那份夢(mèng)想的工作。
　　And so in a few weeks, what ended up happening was, I lost my identity as afaculty member, and I got a very stressful new identity as a mother. What Ialso got was tons of advice from people. And the advice I despised more thanany other advice was, amp。quot。Youamp。39。ve got to go network with everybody.amp。quot。 Whenyour psychological world is breaking down, the hardest thing to do is to tryand reach out and build up your social world.
　　所以，在僅僅幾周，最后發(fā)生的結(jié)果是，我失去了教職員的身份，我得了到一個(gè)非常有壓力的新身份：母親。我還得到了人們給的一大堆意見。在所有意見中，我最
