In this episode I'm going to talk about a famous book.

在這一集裡，我會聊一本很有名的書。

How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference.

I will talk about this book in easy, simple English.

我會用簡單易懂的英文來介紹這本書。

This book became very popular because it explains one simple idea.

這本書之所以這麼紅，是因為它解釋了一個簡單的概念。

Many people think big change needs big action.

很多人覺得大改變需要大行動。

We think if we want something big, we must do something huge.

我們覺得如果想要大的，就必須做點很厲害的。

We believe we must work in a dramatic way.

我們相信要用戲劇化的方式來做。

It says that sometimes small actions are enough.

它說，有時候小小的行動就夠了。

一個小小的想法就能傳播開來。

A small action can become something very big.

一個小小的行動就能變成非常大的事物。

The key idea in the book is called the tipping point.

這本書裡的核心概念叫做臨界點。

So let's understand it so slowly and clearly.

所以我們就來慢慢地、清楚地瞭解它。

It is the moment when something small becomes big.

就是那個小東西變成大東西的時刻。

Before this moment, change is slow, very slow.

在這個時刻之前，改變是很慢的，非常慢。

That moment when slow change becomes fast change is the tipping point.

那個從緩慢改變變成快速改變的時刻，就是臨界點。

在這條線之前，一切都很平靜。

在這條線之後，事情就進展得很快。

The water becomes warm, then warmer, then hotter.

水會變溫，然後更溫，然後變熱。

But when it becomes hot enough, it starts to boil.

但當水夠熱時，它就會開始沸騰。

Malcolm Gladwell says that ideas and trends work in the same way.

Malcolm Gladwell 說，想法和趨勢也是這樣運作的。

At first, only a few people know about something.

一開始，只有少數人知道某件事。

More and more people start talking about it.

Suddenly everyone knows about becomes popular.

突然間大家就都知道了，變得流行。

That fast moment of change is the tipping point.

那個快速改變的瞬間就是臨界點。

The book also explains that ideas spread like diseases.

這本書也解釋了，想法的傳播就像疾病一樣。

When one person gets a cold, they can give it to another person.

當一個人感冒了，他可以傳染給另一個人。

Then that person gives it to someone else.

In the same way, one person can share an idea.

同樣地，一個人可以分享一個想法。

Another person hears it and tells someone else.

另一個人聽到了，然後告訴別人。

After some time, many people know the idea.

過一段時間後，很多人都知道這個想法了。

Today we can see this clearly on the Internet.

今天我們在網路上可以清楚看到這一點。

Suddenly thousands, even millions watch it.

突然間，成千上萬，甚至數百萬人觀看。

This is another way to talk about a tipping point.

這也是另一種談論臨界點的方式。

It is the moment when something small becomes very big very quickly.

就是某件小事突然變得非常龐大、非常快速的那個時刻。

So the author explains that big change does not always begin with big action.

所以作者解釋說，巨大的改變不一定始於巨大的行動。

Then at a special moment, everything changes quickly.

然後在一個特別的時刻，一切都會快速改變。

That special moment is the tipping point.

It is the point where slow growth becomes fast growth.

也就是緩慢成長變成快速成長的那個點。

It is the moment when something small becomes something big.

就是小東西變成大東西的那個瞬間。

One important lesson from this book is that small actions are powerful.

這本書一個很重要的啟示是，小小的行動其實很有力量。

We often feel that we are too small to create change.

我們常常覺得自己太渺小，無法帶來改變。

我們覺得需要很多錢或很大的權力。

But this book shows that small improvements can grow.

但這本書告訴我們，小小的進步是可以累積的。

小小的習慣是可以傳播開來的。

But if you continue, the words grow, your confidence grows.

但如果你持續下去，單字量會增加，你的自信也會增加。

有一天你會注意到一些不一樣的地方。
