我叫Jane McGonigal。我是個遊戲設計師。

I've been making games online now for 10 years,

as it is to save the world in online games.

變得跟拯救線上遊戲的世界一樣簡單。

連同在座的各位，花更多時間去

Right now we spend three billion hours a week

現在，我們每個禮拜共花三十億個鐘頭

"That's a lot of time to spend playing games.

「哇！花那麼多時間打電動？」

how many urgent problems we have to solve in the real world."

現實生活中，還有很多我們得解決的急迫問題

"未來學會(The Institute For The Future)"所做的研究顯示

Three billion hours a week is not nearly enough

每週30億小時的遊戲時間還遠遠不夠

game play to solve the world's most urgent problems.

In fact, I believe that if we want to survive

we need to increase that total dramatically.

我們必須大幅增加我們玩遊戲的總時數。

at 21 billion hours of game play every week.

So, that's probably a bit of a counterintuitive idea,

所以，這其實跟我們一般認知有些相違背。

好，讓我再說一次，大家體會一下。

If we want to solve problems like hunger,

如果我們想解決以下這些問題：飢餓、

poverty, climate change, global conflict, obesity,

貧困、全球暖化、國際衝突、肥胖問題，

by the end of the next decade. (Laughter)

告訴你為什麼。這張照片差不多

sums up why I think games are so essential

說明了為什麼我認為，遊戲對人類的未來

to the future survival of the human species. (Laughter) Truly.

This is a portrait by a photographer named Phil Toledano.

這是攝影師Phil Toledano所拍攝的，

He wanted to capture the emotion of gaming,

他想捕捉人在玩遊戲時的情緒，

so he set up a camera in front of gamers while they were playing.

所以他在玩家面前架了個相機。

而這張照片就是個經典的玩家表情！

you might miss some of the nuance in this photo.

你可能會忽略這張照片一些細微之處。

a little bit of fear, but intense concentration,

deep, deep focus on tackling a really difficult problem.

正專心地解決某個相當棘手的問題。

a few nuances here: the crinkle of the eyes up, and around the mouth

一些細微之處，像是眼睛和嘴角

This is a gamer who is on the verge of something called

you had no idea it was even possible until you achieved it.

在你成功之前，你根本沒想過這一切是有可能的。

It was almost beyond the threshold of imagination.

to discover what you are truly capable of. That is an epic win.

原來你還真的有如此的神技，這就是史詩級的勝利！

This is a gamer on the verge of an epic win.

這個玩家就快要得到史詩級的勝利了

on millions of problem-solvers all over the world

在處理全球許多問題時，我們想看到的表情

as we try to tackle the obstacles of the next century --

the face of someone who, against all odds

Now, unfortunately this is more of the face that we see

現在，不幸的是，當我們處理日常生活中，

in everyday life now as we try to tackle urgent problems.

各種緊急事件的時，我們往往看到的是這表情

This is what I call the "I'm Not Good At Life" face,

我稱這表情為“不擅長生活”的表情

and this is actually me making it. Can you see? Yes. Good.

表情事實上是我擺的，看的出來嗎？好的

This is actually me making the "I'm Not Good At Life" face.

這就是我做出的“不擅長生活”表情

This is a piece of graffiti in my old neighborhood

這也是我在加州柏克萊一個老社區

in Berkeley, California, where I did my PhD

進修我的博士學位時的一個塗鴉

on why we're better in games than we are in real life.

我研究“為什麼我們在虛擬遊戲世界中的表現比現實世界更好”

And this is a problem that a lot of gamers have.

We feel that we are not as good in reality as we are in games.

我們覺得自己在現實的表現無法像在遊戲中一樣好

And I don't mean just good as in successful,

We do achieve more in game worlds. But I also

我們確實在遊戲世界中達成更多任務

inspired to collaborate and to cooperate.

the best version of ourselves, the most likely to help at a moment's notice,

可以做"最好的自己"，如果有人遇難，我們就會義無反顧的去幫忙

並且會持之以恆的解决一個問題

as long at it takes, to get up after failure and try again.

面對挫折我們會勇敢的站起来，並繼續奮鬥

但在現實生活中，當我們面對失敗時

when we confront obstacles, we often don't feel that way.

當我們遇到阻礙時，我們往往並不會這麼勇敢

we feel anxious, maybe depressed, frustrated or cynical.

我們會焦慮、沮喪、灰心或者憤世嫉俗

We never have those feelings when we're playing games,

to feel that we can't achieve everything?
