演讲文本

I'm Jane McGonigal. I'm a game designer.
我叫JaneMcGonigal，我是一名游戏设计师
I've been making games online now for 10 years,
我从事网络游戏设计已经10年了
and my goal for the next decade
我未来十年的目标
is to try to make it as easy
就是希望能让
to save the world in real life
就像玩网络游戏那样
as it is to save the world in online games.
简单的解决现实生活中的问题
Now, I have a plan for this,
现在，我将解释一下我这么说的原因
and it entails convincing more people,
如果人们能玩到一些更大型、更优秀的游戏
including all of you, to spend more time
当然包括在座的诸位，并且能花费更多的时间在游戏上
playing bigger and better games.
你会觉得我的解释更有说服力
Right now we spend three billion hours a week
现如今的人们用在网络游戏上的时间可以达到每周30亿小时
playing online games.
现如今的人们用在网络游戏上的时间可以达到每周30亿小时
Some of you might be thinking,
你们当中有些人可能会觉得
"That's a lot of time to spend playing games.
“花费了这么多时间玩游戏啊”
Maybe too much time, considering
也许有些多了，因为考虑到
how many urgent problems we have to solve in the real world."
现实生活中有很多的紧迫的问题需要我们去处理
But actually, according to my research
但是，根据我在未来问题研究所
at The Institute For The Future,
对相关问题的研究
it's actually the opposite is true.
我们花费在游戏上的时间一点也不多
Three billion hours a week is not nearly enough
每周30亿小时的游戏世间对于解决现实生活中的问题来说远远不足
game play to solve the world's most urgent problems.
每周30亿小时的游戏世间对于解决现实生活中的问题来说远远不足
In fact, I believe that if we want to survive
事实上，我觉得为了能更好得在地球上生存
the next century on this planet,
事实上，我觉得为了能更好得在地球上生存
we need to increase that total dramatically.
我们需要大量增加游戏时间
I've calculated the total we need
我曾经计算过，我们所需要的游戏时间
at 21 billion hours of game play every week.
是每周210亿小时
So, that's probably a bit of a counterintuitive idea,
也许这有些违背常理
so I'll say it again, let it sink in:
但，我想重新说一遍，以便于让这种观念被充分理解
If we want to solve problems like hunger,
如果我们想解决诸如饥饿、
poverty, climate change, global conflict, obesity,
贫困、气候变化、全球冲突、肥胖等问题
I believe that we need to aspire
我坚信我们需要被鼓励
to play games online
人们去玩网络游戏
for at least 21 billion hours a week,
而且每周至少210亿小时
by the end of the next decade. (Laughter)
当然，这将会在十年以后（笑声）
No. I'm serious. I am.
其实，我是很认真的，不是玩笑
Here's why. This picture pretty much
这里是解释，我们把这种场景集合起来
sums up why I think games are so essential
就是之所以游戏对人类种族
to the future survival of the human species.Truly.

He wanted to capture the emotion of gaming,

Now, if you're not a gamer,

you might miss some of the nuance in this photo.
你就不会察觉出这幅照片中的真正内涵
You probably see the sense of urgency,
你可能会感觉到紧迫、
a little bit of fear, but intense concentration,
一丝的恐惧，而不是精神的高度集中
deep, deep focus on tackling a really difficult problem.
抑或者是集中精力在解决一个难题
If you are a gamer, you will notice
如果你是一位游戏玩家，你就会感觉到一些不同东西
a few nuances here: the crinkle of the eyes up, and around the mouth
眼角周围的褶皱是向上的，包括嘴角周围的褶皱也是一样的
is a sign of optimism,
这是一个非常乐观的迹象
and the eyebrows up is surprise.
并且，眉毛向上翘起是惊讶的标志
This is a gamer who is on the verge of something called
这说明，这个游戏玩家即将在游戏中获得
an epic win.
史诗般胜利
Oh, you've heard of that. OK, good,
你们曾经听说过这个词，不错
so we have some gamers among us.
也就是说你们当中有些是游戏玩家
An epic win is an outcome
这个史诗般的胜利是一个结果
that is so extraordinarily positive
但是它非常令人振奋
you had no idea it was even possible until you achieved it.
在得到这个胜利之前你甚至不曾想到竟然能取得成功
It was almost beyond the threshold of imagination.
这个成功甚至超出了你的想象
And when you get there you are shocked

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

as we try to tackle the obstacles of the next century --
排除各种障碍时露出的表情
the face of someone who, against all odds
能排除万难的人
is on the verge of an epic win.
是无往不胜的
Now, unfortunately this is more of the face that we see
现在，不幸的是，当我们处理日常生活中各种紧急事件的时候，
in everyday life now as we try to tackle urgent problems.
我们往往看到的是这个表情
This is what I call the "I'm Not Good At Life" face,
通常我称这个为“不擅长生活”表情
and this is actually me making it. Can you see? Yes. Good.
事实上是我自己做出的这个，能否从中看出来呢？好的

演讲简介：

像《魔兽世界》这样的游戏，提供了一个让玩家在虚拟空间充当救世主的角色，并且同时激励这些玩家学习那些英雄们所具有的良好品质。那么我们能否利用这种机制去解决现实世界中的问题呢？Jane McGonigal说可以，并且给出了她的理由。
