Her father explained to her that fish swi
2、m byquickly wagging their tails to propel themselves through the water. Withouthesitation, little Dorothy responded, &Yes, Daddy, and fish swim backwardsby wagging their heads.&当多萝西还是一个小女孩的时候，她被她的金鱼迷住了。她的父亲向她解释，鱼是通过快速摇尾推动自己在水中前进。毫无犹豫地，小多萝西答复道，;是的，爸爸，而且鱼会通过摇头来后退。;In her mind, it was a fact as true as
3、 anyother. Fish swim backwards by wagging their heads. She believed it.在她的心里，这是一个确切的事实。鱼通过摇头来后退。她坚信如此。Our lives are full of fish swimmingbackwards. We make assumptions and faulty leaps of logic. We harbor bias. Weknow that we are right, and they are wrong. We fear the worst. We strive forunattainabl
4、e perfection. We tell ourselves what we can and cannot do. In ourminds, fish swim by in reverse frantically wagging their heads and we don'teven notice them.我们的生活中充满着倒游的鱼。我们制造假设和错误跳跃的逻辑。我们心怀偏见。我们知道我们是对的，而他们是错的。我们害怕最糟糕的。我们力求无法获得的完美。我们告诉自己什么是我们能做的和不能做的。在我们心里，鱼是通过往相反方向疯狂摇头来游泳的，而我们甚至不曾觉察过它们。I'm
5、going to tell you five facts aboutmyself. One fact is not true. One: I graduated from Harvard at 19 with anhonors degree in mathematics. Two: I currently run a construction company inOrlando. Three: I starred on a television sitcom. Four: I lost my sight to arare genetic eye disease. Five: I served
6、as a law clerk to two US Supreme Courtjustices. Which fact is not true Actually, they're all true. Yeah. They're alltrue.我想告诉你们五件关于我的事实。其中有一件不是真的。第一：我19岁的时候以数学荣誉学士学位毕业于哈佛大学。第二：我现在在奥兰多经营着一家建筑公司。第三：我主演过一部电视情景剧。第四：我因为患上一种罕有的遗传性眼疾而失去了视力。第五：我曾经给两位美国最高法院的法官当过法律助手。哪一个不是真的呢事实上，它们都是真的。是的，它们都是真的。At th
7、is point, most people really only careabout the television show.这时候，大局部人其实都只关心那部电视剧。I know this from experience. OK, so theshow was NBC's &Saved by the Bell: The New Class.& And I playedWeasel Wyzell, who was the sort of dorky, nerdy character on the show, whichmade it a very major acting challe
8、nge for me as a 13-year-old boy.这是经验告诉我的。好吧，那部电视剧是NBC的;SavedbytheBell:TheNewClass.&而我饰演了WeaselWyzell，一个在剧中带点笨拙书呆子性格的角色，对于13岁的我来说，这是一个很重大的演出挑战。Now, did you struggle with number four, myblindness Why is that We make assumptions about so-called disabilities. As ablind man, I confront others' incorr
9、ect assumptions about my abilities everyday. My point today is not about my blindness, however. It's about my vision.Going blind taught me to live my life eyes wide open. It taught me to spotthose backwards-swimming fish that our minds create. Going blind cast them intofocus.现在，你是否纠结于第四个事实，我的失明为
10、什么会这样呢我们对所谓的残疾做出一些假设。作为盲人，我每天都面对别人对我能力的错误假设。然而，我今天的重点不在于我的失明。而是在于我的视野。失明教会我用开阔的眼界去生活。它教会我去发现那些倒游的鱼，我们内心创造出来的鱼。失明使它们变成了焦点。What does it feel like to see It'simmediate and passive. You open your eyes and there's the world. Seeing isbelieving. Sight is truth. Right Well, that's what I though
11、t.看得见是怎么样的一种感觉是即时并且被动的。你睁开双眼，世界就在你眼前。看见什么相信什么。眼见为实。对吧好吧，我当初是这么想的。Then, from age 12 to 25, my retinasprogressively deteriorated. My sight became an increasingly bizarre carnivalfunhouse hall of mirrors and illusions. The salesperson I was relieved to spotin a store was really a mannequin. Reaching do
12、wn to wash my hands, I suddenlysaw it was a urinal I was touching, not a sink, when my fingers felt its trueshape.接着，从12岁到15岁，我的视网膜逐渐衰弱。我的视像变成了愈加奇异的嘉年华游乐场里的哈哈镜。我在商店里好不容易发现的销售员实际上是一个人体模型。俯下身去洗手，当我的手指感受到它的真实形状，我意识到我去触摸的是小便池，而不是洗手池。A friend described the photograph in my hand, and only then I could see
13、the image depicted. Objects appeared, morphed and disappeared in my reality. Itwas difficult and exhausting to see. I pieced together fragmented, transitoryimages, consciously analyzed the clues, searched for some logic in my crumblingkaleidoscope, until I saw nothing at all.一位朋友向我描述我手中的照片，只有在那时候我才能
14、明白图像描画了些什么。物体在我的现实中出现、变形和消失。看见成为了一件困难的使我筋疲力尽的事情。我把支离破碎的、片刻的图像拼接起来，凭感觉分析线索，在我破碎的万花筒中寻找符合逻辑的对应，直到我什么都看不见。I learned that what we see is not universaltruth. It is not objective reality. What we see is a unique, personal, virtualreality that is masterfully constructed by our brain.我认识到我们所看到的并不即是普遍真理。并不是客
15、观现实。我们所看到的是独一无二的虚拟现实，它是由我们的大脑巧妙地构造出来的。Let me explain with a bit of amateurneuroscience. Your visual cortex takes up about 30 percent of your brain.That's compared to approximately eight percent for touch and two to threepercent for hearing. Every second, your eyes can send your visual cortex as
16、manyas two billion pieces of information. The rest of your body can send your brainonly an additional billion. So sight is one third of your brain by volume andcan claim about two thirds of your brain's processing resources. It's nosurprise then that the illusion of sight is so compelling. But make no mistakeabout it: sight is an illusion.请让我以外行的身份解释一遍神经系统学。你的视觉皮层占据了你脑部的大概30%。相比于触觉的8%以及听觉的2-3%。每一秒钟
