I and my colleagues Art Aron and Lucy Brown and others,

我和同事亞特愛倫、露西布朗和其他人

情態副詞

17 who were happily in love, 15 who had just been dumped,

其中 17 名正在享受愛情， 另外 15 名則剛剛被甩

and we're just starting our third experiment:

而現在我們的第 3 項實驗才剛起步：

studying people who report that they're still in love

研究那些依然認為自己愛火未熄的人們

So, this is the short story of that research.

現在，我們就來簡單的談談這項研究

In the jungles of Guatemala, in Tikal, stands a temple.

在瓜地馬拉叢林中一個叫帝卡的地方， 有一座神廟

of the grandest civilization of the Americas, the Mayas.

創造出最輝煌的美洲文明 -- 馬雅

and he was buried beneath this monument in 720 AD.

西元 720 年，他就被葬在這神廟下

that he was deeply in love with his wife.

So, he built a temple in her honor, facing his.

因此為她建造了面朝自己的神廟

And every spring and autumn, exactly at the equinox,

每年春秋兩季，就在春秋分這兩日

and perfectly bathes her temple with his shadow.

神廟投下的陰影，將完全將籠罩妻子的神廟

And as the sun sets behind her temple in the afternoon,

到了傍晚，太陽在妻子神廟後落下

it perfectly bathes his temple with her shadow.

自己的神廟就會完全籠罩在妻子的陰影中

they compose poems and stories about love.

they kill for love, and they die for love.

he said, "Oh, I would stake all for you."

他說：「喔，我願為愛放棄一切」

Anthropologists have found evidence of romantic love in 170 societies.

人類學家在超過 170 個社會中找到愛情的證據

They've never found a society that did not have it.

他們從未找到一個沒有愛的社會

But love isn't always a happy experience.

they asked a lot of questions about love,

but the two that stood out to me the most were,

其中最引我注意的兩個問題就是

"Have you ever been rejected by somebody who you really loved?"

你曾經被自己真愛的人拒絕嗎？

"Have you ever dumped somebody who really loved you?"

And almost 95 percent of both men and women said yes to both.

不管男女，回答兩者皆是的人幾近 95%

So, before I start telling you about the brain,

what I think is the most powerful love poem on Earth.

我認為這是世界上最動人的情詩

There's other love poems that are, of course, just as good,

but I don't think this one can be surpassed.

不過我認為這首詩真的是無與倫比

It was told by an anonymous Kwakiutl Indian of southern Alaska

南阿拉斯加的一名瓜基烏圖族印第安人

在 1896 年將這首詩告訴傳教士，詩是這麼說的

I've never had the opportunity to say it before.

"Fire runs through my body with the pain of loving you.

愛妳的痛苦，蔓延全身如火燒灼

Pain runs through my body with the fires of my love for you.

對妳的愛火，燒灼全身痛苦難抑

Pain like a boil about to burst with my love for you,

對妳的愛伴隨之苦似水，將沸將滿

我的一字一句，愛人呀，請別忘記

"Parting is all we need to know of hell."

in all the millions of years of human evolution?

are dancing with elation at this very minute?

Romantic love is one of the most powerful sensations on Earth.

世上最強大感情之一就是浪漫的愛情。

So, several years ago, I decided to look into the brain

因此，幾年前我便決定深入研究大腦

Our first study of people who were happily in love

我們對愛情中的人們所作的第一項研究

so I'm only going to say a very little about it.

We found activity in a tiny, little factory near the base of the brain

我們在靠近腦底部的小地方發現腦部活動

We found activity in some cells called the A10 cells,

我們發現了一些名為 ApEn 的細胞

cells that actually make dopamine, a natural stimulant,

這些細胞負責製造多巴胺這種自然的激素

Indeed, this part, the VTA, is part of the brain's reward system.

其實 VTA 區是腦部回饋系統的一部份

It's way below your cognitive thinking process.

It's part of what we call the reptilian core of the brain,

它屬於名為爬蟲類腦的腦部區域

associated with wanting, with motivation,

In fact, the same brain region where we found activity

事實上，我們發現這個活躍的區域

becomes active also when you feel the rush of cocaine.

在古柯鹼毒癮發作時，也有相同反應

But romantic love is much more than a cocaine high --

但浪漫的愛情，不只是吸毒的癮

Romantic love is an obsession. It possesses you.

浪漫的愛情則是一種癡迷，讓人沈淪耽溺

You can't stop thinking about another human being.
