And this is also where this class comes in. The explicit mandate of positive psychology as well as of this class is to create a bridge between Ivory tower and mainstreet.

需要这门课程 积极心理学及本课程的宗旨非常明确 就是要在象牙塔及大众间构建桥梁

In other words, it is to bring the rigor, the substance, the empirical foundation, the science from academia

换句话说 就是要把严谨 实质 经验基础 学术科学

And merge it with accessibility of the self-help or New Age movement. In a way the best of both worlds. And this explains the popularity of the field of positive psychology:

与自助或新纪元运动的通俗易懂相结合 充分发挥两者所长 这也是积极心理学大受欢迎的原因:

Science that works. This class will be taught on two levels. The first level it will be taught as any other class in psychology

有用的科学 本课程将分为两个部分 第一部分会和其他心理学

Or any of the classes you've taken here. You'll be introduced here to studies, to research, to rigorous academic work.

或者其他任何课程一样 我将向你们介绍相关知识 调查研究 严谨的学术作品

You'll be writing paper, academic paper. You'll be taking exams. Just like every other class.

需要你们撰写报告 学术论文 参加考试 跟其他课程一样

But then it will also be taught at the second level, which is for every paper that you'll read, every paper that you'll write,

而教学内容的另一部分 你们读每一篇论文 写每一篇论文时

You'll always be thinking, "Ok, how can I take these ideas and apply them to my life? How can I apply them to my relationship?

都需要思考 如何把这些理念运用到生活中去 运用到恋爱中去

How can I apply them to my community?" Two levels. The academic. Applied.

运用到社交圈里去 就是这两个部分 学术与应用

I did not just introduce whether it's in the readings or in the lectures ideas just because they are interesting for the sake of the idea. It is always an idea that is both rigorous and can be applied.

无论是论文还是讲座 我不会因为 某个理论有趣而去介绍它 而是因为这个理论严谨且能被应用

Just a few words about housekeeping. Some of the questions that I have already received from you before the class started. So this, unfortunately,

再唠叨几句题外话 有几个问题课前就有人问我了 不幸的是这学期将是我最后一次
