It's not about this one secret. One Wow to the good life. And many of the things you will learn in this class,
而不是关乎一个秘密 一个能让人过上幸福生活的令人惊奇的诀窍 而你们将在本课程中学到的许多东西
You've heard of before. Probably nothing new to you. You already know it inside of you.
都是你们之前听说过的 也许对你来说没有什么新鲜的内容 在你内心深处你已经知道了
And you are going to say, "Well, it is common sense." And yes, a lot of it is common sense. However, it is Voltaire once said,
你会说"这是常识" 是的 很多都是常识 但是 伏尔泰曾经说过
"Common sense is not that common." And this especially applies to application. So the aim of this class is to make common sense more common,
"常识并非那么平常" 特别是应用于实际 所以本课程的目标是让常识更平常
Especially in the real world application. At the end of the class, here's what I am hoping for,
特别是应用到实际中 在本课程结束时 我所希望的是
At the end of the class, if you decide to take it. At the end of the semester,
在本课程结束之时 如果你打算上这门课的话 在本学期结束时
I don't think-- I am not expecting you to come and tell me, "Wow! Thank you for teaching me so many new things." That's not what I am expecting.
我不想 我不期待你跑来告诉我 "谢谢你教给了这么多新东西" 那不是我所期待的
I don't think that is what will happen. What I hope will happen is for you to come and say, rather than "thank you for teaching me",
我不认为那会发生 我所希望发生的是你过来跟我说 不是说"谢谢你教了我"
Something you would say "thank you for reminding me of something that i've already known". And this is what this class is about.
之类的话 而是"谢谢提醒了我一些我熟知事情" 这就是本课程要做的
It's constant reminder, twice a week. Constant reminder of what you already know, of what is inside you.
经常性的提醒 一周两次 经常提醒你们记起你们已知的东西 你们内心深处的东西
The David that is inside you. And what this class will hopefully do is to help you chip away some of these limitations, whether it's limitation,
你们心中的大卫 本课程希望做到的是帮助你们凿掉一些束缚 不管是哪种束缚
Cognitive limitations that prevent you from seeing what you already knew, emotional limitations that are preventing you from deriving the benefits of what you already know, or behavioral limitations.
是阻碍你认识已熟知事物的认知束缚 还是阻碍你从已熟知事物中获取益处的情绪束缚 抑或是行为束缚
The ABC: affect, behavior, and cognition that we'll talk about during the change week. So I'm making common sense more common.
基本要素是影响 行为和认知 正是我们在改变周将要讨论的 我要让常识更平常
