And I'm not saying he's fat, but when he jumps in the air, he gets stuck jim Carey.

我並不是說他很胖，但是當他在空中跳躍時，他被卡住了jim Carey。

You know, everybody that you know, including yourself is a mind reader.

你知道，你認識的每個人，包括你自己都是一個讀心者。

At least we all think we are.

至少我們都認為我們是。

We act that way because really there's no other way to act.

我們這樣做是因為真的沒有別的辦法。

We see someone do something like look at a camera and a tribute to that act an invisible mental state, a desire and intention, A feeling like disbelief.

我們看到有人做了一些事情，比如說看了一下照相機，然後對這種行為表示敬意，這是一種無形的精神狀態，一種願望和意圖，一種像不相信的感覺。

This is called the theory of mind.

這就是所謂的心智理論。

But there's a paradox at the heart of disability that we all have because while we know that body language conveys meaning and that we can interpret that meaning and even be roughly correct a good amount of the time, we also know that it's impossible to see the whole picture that we can misinterpret and be fooled because both of those things have happened to us.

但是，在殘疾的核心有一個悖論，我們都有，因為雖然我們知道肢體語言傳達了意義，而且我們可以解釋這個意義，甚至在相當長的時間內大致正確，但我們也知道，我們不可能看到整個畫面，我們可能誤解和被愚弄，因為這兩種情況都發生在我們身上。

I was just wondering nicely with lee would you like to come out for a drink with me?

我只是想知道，與李很好，你願意出來和我喝一杯嗎？

I haven't split up with him.

我還沒有和他分手。

No God, I know, I know.

沒有上帝，我知道，我知道。

Yeah, yeah.

是的，是的。

I meant as a friend, what do you mean as a friend?

我的意思是作為一個朋友，你說作為一個朋友是什麼意思？

This paradox in the theory of mind, our attribution of thoughts to action and our knowledge of the unreliability in that drives all of us to perform ourselves so that we can try to shape other people's theories of our mind and it's this performance and the reading of this performance that the office created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen merchant spotlights so well, the people who work at warning hog comprise a spectrum of competence on this scale.

心靈理論中的這種悖論，我們將思想歸結為行動，以及我們對其中的不可靠的認識，促使我們所有人都在表演自己，以便我們可以嘗試塑造其他人對我們心靈的理論，正是這種表演和對這種表演的解讀，由瑞奇-格維斯和斯蒂芬-商人創造的辦公室如此突出，在警告豬場工作的人在這個規模上組成了一個能力譜。

On one side, you have Tim and Dawn who are quite sensitive mind readers able to navigate the environment of the Office with a strong sense of what others are feeling.

一方面，你有蒂姆和道恩，他們是相當敏感的讀心者，能夠在辦公室的環境中游刃有餘地感知他人的感受。

And on the other side, you have David Brent and Gareth who are really, really weak mind readers.

而在另一邊，你有大衛-布倫特和加雷斯，他們的讀心術真的非常、非常弱。

If you do go all the way with tim and you expect me to go in there afterwards, make sure he wears a condom, right sort of a rule.

如果你真的和蒂姆一路走來，而且你希望我之後也能進去，請確保他戴上安全套，這算是一個規則吧。

In the case of Gareth, it may actually be that he's unable to read others.

就加雷思而言，實際上可能是他無法讀懂別人。

Jarvis explored this idea again years later with Derek, a character who falls somewhere on the autism spectrum, a condition that's marked by inherent difficulties with theory of mind.

幾年後，賈維斯在《德里克》中再次探討了這一想法，這個角色屬於自閉症譜系中的某個部分，這種情況的特點是心智理論方面的內在困難。

But in David Brent, we have a character so invested in the performance of himself, that he's blocked his own access to others feelings.

但在大衛-布倫特身上，我們有一個角色如此投入地表現自己，以至於他阻斷了自己與他人感情的聯繫。

I think Brent could become more receptive and there are rare but achingly poignant flashes of that in the series, chris cough, but to really do that would require compromising his self image, which is clearly something that he's not willing to do.

我認為布倫特可以變得更容易接受，而且在這個系列中，有一些罕見的但令人痛心疾首的閃光點，chris cough，但要真正做到這一點，就需要損害他的自我形象，這顯然是他不願意做的事情。

The irony is that Brent can't see that a week theory of mind always makes for a weak self performance.

諷刺的是，布倫特看不到，一個星期的思想理論總是讓他的自我表現很弱。

You can't brute force your preferred personality onto another's consciousness.

你不能把你喜歡的個性強加到別人的意識中。

It takes two to build an identity.

建立一個身份需要兩個人。

Indeed, this is what makes tim the most successful performer of all on the show and the clearest evidence of this is the cruel but hilarious way that he toys with Gareth.

事實上，這正是蒂姆成為節目中最成功的表演者的原因，而最明顯的證據就是他對加雷斯的殘忍但又搞笑的玩弄方式。

Could you give a man a lethal blow?

你能給一個人致命的一擊嗎？

If I was forced to, I could if it was absolutely necessary.

如果我是被迫的，如果是絕對必要的，我可以。

He's able to map Gareth's mental state so well and take advantage of his weak theory of mine that he can ridicule him without gareth, even knowing that it's going on, this is a kind of psychic superpower and we all use it.

他能夠很好地映射出加雷斯的精神狀態，並利用他對我的薄弱理論，他可以在加雷斯不知道的情況下嘲笑他，這是一種精神上的超能力，我們都在使用它。

When we tell someone, for example, a white lie, we're trying to decode that person's mental state so that our performance of the lie will be successfully received.

例如，當我們告訴別人一個白色的謊言時，我們正試圖解碼那個人的心理狀態，以便我們的謊言表演能夠被成功接收。

In other words, a believable performance is one that reflects back at your partner something that's in support of their own performance of themselves.

換句話說，一個可信的表演是反映在你的夥伴身上的東西，是支持他們自己對自己的表現。

What makes the show even more impressive, I think, and absolutely true to life is the way that it handles the other side of the paradox.

我認為，使該劇更令人印象深刻、絕對真實的是它處理悖論的另一面的方式。

No matter where the characters fall on that spectrum of mind reading or performance, none are spared from mistakes.

無論這些人物在讀心術或表演方面處於什麼位置，都不能免於犯錯。

It's this essential defect in the theory of mind that's a cause of deep anxiety for all of us.

正是這種心靈理論上的本質缺陷，讓我們所有人都深感焦慮。

And every time that unreliability is violently revealed to us the world for a brief moment becomes gibberish and the people around us opaque because this is the only tool that we have and for the most part it's done like breathing is done without conscious attention.

而每次這種不可靠被猛烈地揭示給我們時，世界就會在短暫的瞬間變得胡言亂語，我們周圍的人也變得不透明，因為這是我們唯一的工具，而且在大多數情況下，它就像呼吸一樣，不需要有意識地關注。

So when it fails, there's just no recourse it's the unflinching focus on these failures that made The Office revolutionary.

是以，當它失敗時，就沒有辦法了。正是對這些失敗的堅定關注，使《辦公室》成為革命性的作品。

A lot of people say that cringe humor like this is hard to watch and certainly it is.

很多人說，像這樣的崩潰式幽默很難看，當然也很難看。

But in the same way that under our confidence in theory of mind lies an anxiety.

但同樣地，在我們對心智理論的信心之下，也存在著一種焦慮。

I think that under our cringing there's actually a deep feeling of relief.

我認為，在我們的畏縮之下，實際上有一種深深的解脫感。

Cringe humor privileges the moments when body language speaks in a way that is totally transparent in that moment, the embarrassment is not only palpable, it's also palpably honest, it can't be doubted.

崩潰式幽默的特權是，當身體語言以一種完全透明的方式在那一刻說話的時候，這種尷尬不僅是可以感覺到的，也是可以感覺到的誠實，這是不容置疑的。

It's a kind of trauma, a rupture that discloses a real moment of connection.

這是一種創傷，一種披露真實聯繫時刻的斷裂。

Don't make me redundant.

不要讓我成為多餘的人。

Please look David, I don't change your mind.

請看大衛，我不改變你的想法。

I don't want redundancy, I don't want that.

我不希望有多餘的人，我不希望這樣。

I haven't signed anything so.

我還沒有簽署任何東西，所以。

Well, unfortunately not really up to you.

好吧，不幸的是，並不是真的由你決定。

Okay, alright then.

好吧，那就好吧。

Well, I'm asking, okay, please don't make redundant.

好吧，我在問，好吧，請不要讓人覺得多餘。

I don't think the show would be nearly as effective if it wasn't cast as a fake documentary as opposed to simply watching the characters fail and embarrass themselves as an omniscient observer.

我認為，如果不是作為一部假的紀錄片，而不是簡單地作為一個全知全能的觀察者看人物失敗和出醜，這個節目就不會有那麼大的效果。

The employees of The Office are aware of being filmed, which is to say that they're aware of you, not only performing for one another.

辦公室》的員工都知道被拍攝，也就是說，他們知道你，不僅僅是為彼此表演。

They're performing for us.

他們在為我們表演。

This is the phenomenon of the documentary and the documentary, you can observe human behavior, mind reading you and performing at you without having to reflect back your own performance, you can be alone with someone Gervais and merchant exploit this situation to activate our empathy in a uniquely powerful way.

這就是紀錄片和記錄片的現象，你可以觀察人類的行為，對你進行讀心術，對你進行表演，而不必反思自己的表現，你可以和某人單獨在一起，Gervais和商人利用這種情況，以一種獨特的強大方式激活我們的共鳴。

So that when you laugh at the office, it's a laugh that rings out in the heart.

這樣，當你在辦公室裡笑的時候，那是一種響徹心扉的笑。

A moment of cringeworthy truth.

一個令人啼笑皆非的真實時刻。

Mm hmm.

嗯，嗯。

Hey everybody, Thanks for watching.

大家好，感謝觀看。

I really wish I could be recording this on a camera right now, but it's a little bit too late.

我真希望我現在就能用相機記錄下來，但有點太晚了。

And my office is still really incomplete in Los Angeles and it's it's just it's just very frustrating.

而我的辦公室在洛杉磯仍然是不完整的，它只是它只是非常令人沮喪。
