about what motivates us to share.

關於我們分享的動力。

Humans are social animals. Sharing allows us (to) feel connected to others. We share

人類是社會性動物。分享讓我們（感覺到）與他人的聯繫。我們分享

emotions, which allow us to deepen the bonds we have with our peers and with our friends.

情感，讓我們與同齡人、與朋友之間的聯繫不斷加深。

So it's all about being connected and deepening the bonds between ourselves and our peers.

所以，這'就是要與自己和同行之間建立聯繫，加深聯繫。

Our peers are people the same age as ourselves who share the same social position in a group.

我們的同齡人是指與我們同齡的人，他們在一個群體中有著相同的社會地位。

And we particularly like to share content that makes us feel emotional. Let's hear more

而且我們特別喜歡分享那些讓我們感慨的內容。讓我們'聽到更多

from Dr Jonah Berger about this.

喬納-伯傑博士說的。

High arousal emotions include things like anger and anxiety, but also excitement and

高喚醒情緒包括憤怒、焦慮等，也包括興奮和。

humour, low arousal – sadness and contentment. [It] turns out that those high-arousal emotions

幽默，低喚起--悲傷和滿足。事實證明，這些高興奮度的情緒。

– those emotions that fire us up and cause us to take action – also drive us to share.

- 那些激發我們的情緒，使我們採取行動--也促使我們分享。

Arousal means 'to excite a particular feeling in somebody'. And emotions like anger and

喚醒的意思是'激發某人的特殊感覺'。而像憤怒和

anxiety tend to cause stronger feelings than sadness and contentment.

焦慮往往會引起比悲傷和滿足更強烈的感受。

Right – high-arousal emotions fire us up – and to fire someone up means 'to make

對--高漲的情緒會讓我們興奮起來--而讓人興奮起來就意味著'讓。

someone excited and enthusiastic about something'. So when a video we see on the internet makes

有人對某件事情感到興奮和熱衷'。所以當我們在互聯網上看到的視頻讓

us laugh – or makes us excited or angry – then we are more likely to share it with

我們笑了--或者讓我們興奮或憤怒--那麼我們就更有可能與你分享它。

others.

其他。

And sharing that emotion with others strengthens the connection or bond between us. That's

而與他人分享這種情感，可以加強我們之間的聯繫或紐帶。這就是

what Dr Berger's theory says anyway.

反正伯傑博士的理論是怎麼說的。

I'm surprised that sad things aren't passed on as much as, say, funny things.

我'很驚訝，悲傷的事情沒有'流傳的那麼多，比如說，有趣的事情。

Well, how often do you share sad videos with your peers?

那麼，你有多久會和同伴分享傷心的視頻呢？

Good point. I do tend to share content that makes me laugh – more than sad or angry

有道理。我確實傾向於分享讓我發笑的內容--比悲傷或憤怒的內容要多。

stuff anyway. Like the Grumpy Cat meme. Can I show it to you now?
