Thank you to the people who are joining us

I do study the brain. I study the brain in love and [unclear] --

我確實在研究大腦。我研究愛情中的大腦和[不清楚]----。

Art Errand, Lucy Brown and Bianca Acevedo.

Art Errand，Lucy Brown和Bianca Acevedo。

15 people who've just been rejected in love,

15個在愛情中剛剛被拒絕的人'。

and 17 people who were in love long term,

people who were married more than 21 and still in love.

As a matter of fact,  I think that right now, actually,

事實上，我認為，現在，其實。

我的機器裡可以裝很多你的人。

and I would find some of these brain circuits

I'm not going to repeat really what I've said --

I've already written four books on romantic love,

我'已經寫了四本關於浪漫愛情的書。

and I want to say something different today.

But I do want to say one thing about romantic love.

但我想說的是，關於浪漫的愛情。

I think more powerful than the sex drive.

It comes from primordial parts of the brain,

and it gives you the energy, the focus, the ecstasy,

它'是一個驅動器，它'是一個基本的配合驅動器。

It's a drive to win life's greatest prize

But today, I want to talk about something else. (Laughter)

但今天，我想說的是另一件事。(笑聲)

Why do you fall in love with one person rather than another?

為什麼你會愛上一個人而不是另一個人？

I'd written my fourth book on romantic love and --

我寫了我的第四本關於浪漫愛情的書，並且--。

It was a couple of days before Christmas,

and I got a telephone call from Match.com the Internet dating site,

我接到了Match.com的電話，Match.com是一個互聯網交友網站。

and they asked me to come in and talk to them

And I -- nothing happens in New York at Christmas, but --

而我... ... 聖誕節在紐約什麼也沒發生，但是... ...

And in the middle of the morning they asked me,

"Why do you fall in love with one person rather than another?"

"為什麼你會愛上一個人而不是另一個人？

我說，"我不'不知道。沒有人知道！"

Psychologists certainly know that timing is important,

心理學家當然知道，時機很重要。

proximity is important, we tend to fall in love with somebody

from the same socio-economic and ethnic background,

來自相同社會經濟和種族背景的人；

somebody with the same general level of intelligence,

and religious, and social values are important --

和宗教以及社會價值的重要性 -- --

and certainly, your childhood experience plays a role.

當然，你的童年經歷也起到了一定的作用。

但是，你知道，你可以走進一個房間。

and you don't fall in love with all of them.

So, I began to decide that I would study personality.

於是，我開始決定要研究個性。

There are two basic aspects of personality,

we know that these are constantly in connection with one another.

我們知道，這些都是不斷地相互聯繫的。

But there certainly are traits that you've acquired.

through your childhood, and your education,

直接從你的生物學中走出來的。

They now estimate that 40 to 60 percent of who you are comes out of your DNA

他們現在估計，你是誰的40%到60%來自你的DNA。

or at least it plays an enormous role in it.

或者至少它在其中起到了巨大的作用。

is take a look at the second aspect of this --

your temperament, your predispositions --

and see, if somehow, your basic body chemistry

看看，如果不知何故，你的基本身體化學反應

drives you to some people rather than other.

驅使你去找一些人，而不是其他。

So, I began to go through all of the academic literature

於是，我開始翻閱所有的學術文獻。

looking for traits that are linked with biology

And I would generally go into a lot of this --

and most of them keep the eyes blinking or the heart beating,

they are are not linked with personality traits.

the dopamine, serotonin, testosterone and estrogen-oxytocin systems.

with a constellation of personality traits.

So, I decided what I would do  is try to make a questionnaire

linked with each one  of these brain systems.

And then, put this questionnaire  onto a dating site,

Match.com internationally and Chemistry.com,

the site that I started with Match.com locally, in the United States.
