十分钟后，试验者进来了，带你去参加“真正的”试验
Sitting down, you take the exact same test. The exact same puzzle.
你坐下来做了跟之前那个一模一样的测试，完全一样的谜题
And once again, how long will you persevere before giving up?
然后再次看看，放弃测试之前你能坚持多久
Think about for yourself for a second. Who do you think persevered more?
你们自己想一下，你们觉得哪一组能坚持得久一些
The chocolate chip cookies group? Or the beetroots group? Think for yourself for a second. By the way, I guessed wrong when I answered this question. OK.
巧克力脆饼组还是甜菜根组，你们自己想一下，顺便说一下，我在回答这个问题时猜错了
Significantly more perseverance, significantly more, wasn't close,
有一组显着地坚持得更久，显着地更久，而不是细微差别，
the group that had the beetroots persevered a lot more. Why? I wouldn't understand.
甜菜根那组显着地坚持得更久，为什么，当时我也不理解

The mechanism and he did some more experiment to explain the mechanism.
这个机制，他还做了些其他试验来解释这个机制
It's because the chocolate chip cookie group had used self-discipline not to touch, though they really wanted to touch it.
这是因为巧克力脆饼组已经用了自律来阻止自己动饼干，虽然他们十分想碰它
But they couldn't. So they used their quota of self-discipline.
但他们不能碰，所以他们已经用了那份自律了
And when they went into the quote\unquote "real" experiment, what happened was that they had little or no self-discipline left
等他们去参加“真正的”试验时，他们就几乎不剩什么自律了
And that, that maze, that experiment, that test required a lot of self-discipline.
而那个迷宫，那个试验，那个测试需要大量的自律
The point of this study is we all have limited amount of self-discipline.
这个研究所要告诉我们的是我们都只有有限量的自律
And the question is what do we used it on.
问题在于我们将它用在了哪里
