We all exist in this world where we can tweet at somebody or engage with somebody, could even be the President of the United States, and they might react to us back.

我們都生活在這樣一個世界裡，我們可以在 "推特 "上與某人互動，甚至可以是美國總統，而他們也可能對我們做出迴應。

分詞構句

Social media has thrust us all onto the head of a pin, socially speaking, existentially speaking.

社交媒體把我們推到了風口浪尖上，從社會角度講是如此，從生存角度講也是如此。

程度副詞

Even if they're on the other side of the planet, even if they have a lot more money than we do, we can still interact with them.

即使他們在地球的另一端，即使他們比我們有錢得多，我們仍然可以與他們互動。

We can still compete with them on engagement.

我們仍然可以在參與度上與他們競爭。

We have a memetic machine in our pocket where all of these people exist.

我們的口袋裡有一臺記憶機器，所有這些人都存在其中。

Memetic desire means that we're adopting another person's desire as our own, usually without even realizing that we're doing it.

記憶性慾望意味著我們將他人的慾望當作自己的慾望，通常我們甚至沒有意識到自己正在這樣做。

So, social media has given us millions of memetic models that we now have to contend with.

是以，社交媒體為我們提供了數以百萬計的記憶模型，我們現在必須與之抗衡。

Some people have went from having ten memetic models to now having a million, and we haven't quite come to grips as a culture with what that means for our mental and emotional health.

有些人從擁有十個記憶模型到現在擁有一百萬個，作為一種文化，我們還沒有完全理解這對我們的心理和情感健康意味著什麼。

The first kind is called an external mediator of desire.

第一種被稱為慾望的外部中介。

These are models that are outside of our world.

這些都是我們世界之外的模型。

Whether because they exist in a different social sphere than we do, there's no possibility of us coming into contact with them, and certainly not becoming rivals with them.

是否因為他們與我們存在於不同的社會領域，所以我們不可能與他們接觸，當然也不可能成為他們的對手。

They're in some sense outside of our world of desire, outside of our world of competition.

從某種意義上說，他們在我們的慾望世界之外，在我們的競爭世界之外。

Now, these external models of desire can be real, or they can be fictional.

現在，這些外在的慾望模型可以是真實的，也可以是虛構的。

The other kind of model is inside of our world, called internal mediators of desire.

另一種模式在我們的世界內部，被稱為慾望的內部中介。

These are people that we do come into contact with, and there is a possibility of conflict or rivalry with these people.

這些人是我們確實會接觸到的，而且有可能與這些人發生衝突或競爭。

這些都是我們工作場所中的人。

These are people that could even be our friends.

這些人甚至可以成為我們的朋友。

It's easier to compare ourselves to them.

與他們相比，我們更容易將自己與他們相提並論。

These are the kinds of people that we look to as benchmarks, and we're far more likely to be envious of somebody that we went to high school with, who now has a great job and a beautiful spouse, than we are to be envious of the richest person in the world.

我們把這些人當作標杆，與羨慕世界上最富有的人相比，我們更容易羨慕與我們一起上高中的人，他現在有一份好工作和一個漂亮的配偶。

The danger with external mediators of desire, with keeping up with people that are very successful, with people that have modeled a certain kind of lifestyle, is that there's no end to that process.

外部慾望中介的危險在於，與那些非常成功的人保持一致，與那些以某種生活方式為榜樣的人保持一致，這個過程是沒有終點的。

We desire to go beyond the boundaries, to go just over the mountain, to be the kind of person that we don't feel that we currently are.

我們渴望超越界限，渴望翻山越嶺，渴望成為我們目前所不具備的那種人。

Having positive models of desire to emulate is a very good thing.

有積極的榜樣可以效仿是一件非常好的事情。

It's important to have people that model virtues and goodness that we would like.

重要的是，要讓我們喜歡的人以美德和善良為榜樣。

But we have to understand the limitations of any model, and understanding how the dynamic between us and our models changes in that scenario is really, really important.

但是，我們必須瞭解任何模型的侷限性，瞭解在這種情況下我們與模型之間的動態變化是非常非常重要的。

It's also important to understand when somebody is an internal model of desire to us, because in that case, we have to have boundaries.

同樣重要的是，要了解什麼時候某人對我們來說是一種內在的慾望模式，因為在這種情況下，我們必須要有界限。

All desire comes from us feeling like we lack something, and that can bring us into a dangerous, vicious cycle, because there will always be another model to find.

所有的慾望都來自於我們覺得自己缺少什麼，這會讓我們陷入危險的惡性循環，因為我們總能找到另一種模式。

我們必須明智地選擇我們的模式。

We also have to know when the model is inflaming us with a desire for something that's going to bring real fulfillment, or whether it's going to bring a dopamine hit, or allow us to fantasize about a life that we'll probably never have, and even if we did have it, would probably make us miserable.

我們還必須知道，模型是在激發我們對某種東西的渴望，而這種渴望會帶來真正的滿足感，還是會帶來多巴胺的刺激，或者讓我們幻想一種我們可能永遠不會擁有的生活，即使我們擁有了，也可能會讓我們痛苦不堪。

All you need to do is go on Instagram and spend five minutes, and you see lifestyles modeled, you see vacation destinations modeled, fashions, manners of speech, ways of engagement, ways of speaking, political preferences.

你只需在 Instagram 上花上五分鐘，就能看到生活方式的模型、度假目的地的模型、時尚、言談舉止、參與方式、說話方式、政治偏好。

All of these desires are modeled for us 24 hours a day, billions of them, and we need to understand the mimetic landscape of social media, or else we'll become totally controlled by it.

我們需要了解社交媒體的擬態景觀，否則我們就會被它完全控制。
