I thought I'd tell you a little about what I like to write.

我打算跟你們聊些我想要寫作的東西。

反身代名詞

And I like to immerse myself in my topics.

我喜歡完全投入我的研究題目。

程度副詞

I just like to dive right in and become sort of a human guinea pig.

我直接切入題目中，以自己為白老鼠。

And I see my life as a series of experiments.

So, I work for Esquire magazine, and a couple of years ago,

幾年前我為Esquire(風尚)雜誌工作。

I wrote an article called "My Outsourced Life,"

我寫了一篇文章叫做"我的外包生活"

where I hired a team of people in Bangalore, India,

我雇用了在印度班加羅爾的一個團隊,

They argued with my wife for me, and they read my son bedtime stories.

他們為我和我的老婆吵嘴，且幫我替兒子讀床邊故事。

because I just sat back and I read books and watched movies.

因為我只要放輕鬆，看書或看電影。

More recently, I wrote an article for Esquire called --

到最近我為 Esquire 雜誌寫了一篇文章叫做--

this is started by a psychologist in Virginia,

由一位維吉尼亞的心理學家開始的,

who says that you should never, ever lie,

except maybe during poker and golf, his only exceptions.

除非在打牌或是高爾夫球中例外。

And, more than that, whatever is on your brain

並且甚至，當任何事情出現在你的腦中

So, I decided I would try this for a month.

我決定要來試試看這種方式生活一個月。

這是我一生命中最糟的一個月。

the article was called, "I Think You're Fat."

My most recent book -- my previous book was called "The Know-It-All,"

我最近期的一本書--我的前一本書叫做《全部都知道》

and it was about the year I spent reading the Encyclopedia Britannica

這是我花了一年的時間閱讀大英百科全書

from A to Z in my quest to learn everything in the world,

從A到Z想要學習世界上的一切事物,

or more precisely from Aak, which is a type of East Asian music,

或更精確的說從 "雅樂"(A-ak)一種東亞的音樂,

all the way to Zwyiec, which is -- well, I don't want to ruin the ending.

到最後一條"日維茨"(Zywiec)這是--我不想搞砸了演講的結尾。

It's a very exciting twist ending, like an O. Henry novel, so I won't ruin it.

能夠在結尾做轉折是令人興奮的,像是O. Henry的小說,所以我不想搞砸它。

because that was an experiment about how much information

因為那是一個關於人腦能吸收多少資訊

Although, listening to Kevin Kelly, you don't have to remember anything.

雖然,根據Kevin Kelly的說法,你只要能夠在Google查到它

and life-changing experiment that I've done

is my most recent experiment, where I spent a year

我最近剛完成的實驗,我花了一年的時間

trying to follow all of the rules of the Bible,

嘗試按照聖經上指導的原則生活--

《依照聖經指導原則生活的一年》

The first was that I grew up with no religion at all.

第一我成長在一個完全沒有宗教的環境。

As I say in my book, I'm Jewish in the same way

並且如同我書上所說, 說我是個猶太人

就像《橄欖花園》美式義大利餐廳)被當成義大利餐廳，一樣離譜

But I've become increasingly interested in religion.

但是我已經對宗教越來越有興趣。

I do think it's the defining issue of our time,

我認為, 在我們的生活中, 這是一個明確的議題,

And I have a son. I want to know what to teach him.

而且我有一個兒子。我想要知道拿什麼去教他。

So, I decided to dive in head first, and try to live the Bible.

所以我決定投入其中，並且嘗試依照聖經而活。

The second reason I undertook this is because

第二個原因我決定這樣做，是因為

I'm concerned about the rise of fundamentalism,

我對基督教基本教義的興起有興趣,

religious fundamentalism, and people who say

they take the Bible literally, which is, according to some polls,

有百分之45或50的美國人，按著聖經的教導過生活。

So I decided, what if you really did take the Bible literally?

所以我決定看看，真正依照聖經教導行事會怎樣?

I decided to take it to its logical conclusion

我決定接受它和它的邏輯上的推論

and take everything in the Bible literally,

The first thing I did was I got a stack of bibles.

A friend of mine sent me something called a hip-hop bible,

我的一個朋友送我一本叫做「嘻哈聖經」,

where the twenty-third Psalm is rendered as, "The Lord is all that,"

其中詩篇第23中所稱「神是一切」

as opposed to what I knew it as, "The Lord is my shepherd."

相對的，就我所知應該是「神是我的牧者」

Then I went down and I read several versions,

and I wrote down every single law that I could find.

並且我寫下每一我能找到的律法。

And this was a very long list -- over 700 rules.

這是一個很長的清單--超過700條律法。

And they range from the famous ones that I had heard of --

並且這些包含一些有名的律法一些我曾經聽過的--

The Ten Commandments, love your neighbor, be fruitful and multiply.

《十戒》、「愛你的鄰人」、「多結果子和生養眾多」。

And actually, I take my projects very seriously,

so I definitely take my projects seriously.

所以我確實認真的執行這計劃。

of arcane and obscure laws that are in the Bible.

這上百條在聖經中神秘且晦澀的律法。

"You cannot shave the corners of your beard."

so I decided to let the whole thing grow,

and this is what I looked like by the end.

As you can imagine, I spent a lot of time at airport security.

你可想而知,我花了很長的時間在機場安檢部門。

My wife wouldn't kiss me for the last two months.

最後的二個月，我太太不肯親我。

The Bible says you cannot wear clothes made of mixed fibers,

聖經上說，不能穿混合纖維的衣物。

so I thought, "Sounds strange, but I'll try it."

所以我想："這聽起來很奇怪，但是我要試試看。"

I got rid of all my poly-cotton T-shirts.

The Bible says that if two men are in a fight,

聖經上說，如果有兩個男人在打架,
