话题:你有冒险精神吗?你做过最危险的事是什么?
[ti:www.pronounceword.com] [ar:] [by:www.pronounceword.com] [00:12.96]Hello, and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil and joining me today is Rob. 大家好,欢迎来到六分钟英语。我是尼尔,今天和我搭档的是罗伯。 [00:17.91]Hello. 大家好。 [00:18.77]So Rob, what's the most dangerous thing you've ever chosen to do? 所以罗伯,你曾经选择做过最危险的事情是什么? [00:22.94]Mmm. Tricky question. 额。刁钻的问题。 [00:24.98]I've done many risky things, but probably the most risky thing is bungee jumping in New Zealand. 我做过一些危险的事情,但是或许最冒险的事情是在新西兰蹦极。 [00:31.57]Oh, wow, bungee jumping. 啊,哇,蹦极。 [00:32.62]You'd never catch me doing that. Did you enjoy it? 你永远不会看到我蹦极。玩得开心吗? [00:35.32]Not really, no. 算不上,不开心。 [00:36.55]I won't do it again! 我不会再蹦极了! [00:37.25]OK, well today our topic is risk and how different people react to different levels of risk in different ways. 好的,今天我们的主题是冒险以及不同人面对不同层次的冒险表现如何。 [00:45.34]For example, would you be happy to be in a driverless car? 例如,你会乐意坐在无人驾驶汽车里吗? [00:49.41]Absolutely not! No, I don't trust anybody's driving, even a computer. 绝对不乐意!不,我不相信任何人的驾驶技术,甚至是计算机控制。 [00:54.40]So no, I wouldn't go in a driverless car. 所以不乐意,我不会坐进无人驾驶汽车里。 [00:56.73]OK, I won't offer you a lift! Driverless cars are the topic of today's quiz. 好的,我不会捎你一程的。无人驾驶汽车是今天测试的主题。 [01:00.73]The question is: When was the first driverless car demonstrated on a public road? 问题是:第一辆无人驾驶汽车是什么时候上公路的? [01:07.29]Was it: a) 1970s b) 1950s or c) 1920s ? 是a) 20世纪70年代 b) 20世纪50年代 还是 c) 20世纪20年代 ? [01:12.72]Well, I think they are quite modern, so I'm going to say 1970s. 好吧,我觉得它们相当现代,所以我说是20世纪70年代。 [01:18.40]OK, well. We'll find out if you're right at the end of the programme. 好的,我们将在节目最后揭晓你是否回答正确。 [01:21.34]Joe Kable is an associate professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. 乔?凯布尔是宾夕法尼亚大学心理学副教授。 [01:27.23]In a recent BBC science programme, All in the Mind, he talked about the psychology of risk and whether there was anything physically in our brains that could predict how much risk we are prepared to accept. 在最近的BBC科学节目All in the mind中,他谈到了风险心理学以及我们大脑内是否有能够推断出我们能够接受多大风险的东西。 [01:40.80]Here he is, first talking about a number of different ways people see risk. 在这里他首先谈到人们看待风险有许多方式。 [01:44.59]How many different types does he describe? 他描述了几种类型呢? [01:47.63]Some people are quite risk-averse and really don't want to take any decisions where there's risk involved at all.一些人是完全规避风险的人,而且在有风险的领域真的不想做任何决策。 [01:55.57]Whereas others are fairly risk-tolerant and in some cases even risk-seeking, so they seek out decisions that have an aspect of risk to them. 然而另一些人是相当能够承担风险的人,在一些情况下甚至寻求冒险,所以他们做出的决策对他们来说有风险。 [02:04.66]How many different types of people did he mention when it comes to attitudes to risk? 当谈到应对风险的态度时他提到了几种类型的人? [02:09.49]Well, there were three. 好吧,有三种。 [02:11.25]The first group was those who are risk-averse.第一种是规避风险的人。 [02:14.65]If you are averse to something, you are against it, you don't like it. 如果你规避某事,就是反对它,不喜欢它。 [02:19.40]So risk-averse people don't like to take risks. 所以规避风险的人不喜欢冒险。 [02:22.17]The second group are those who are risk-tolerant.第二种人是能承担风险的人。 [02:25.10]If you are tolerant of something, you accept it, you don't mind it, it's not a problem for you. 如果你对某事是容忍的态度,就是能够接受它,不介意它,对你来说它不是问题。 [02:30.96]So someone who is risk-tolerant is not worried by an element of risk in what they choose to do. 所以能承担风险的人不担心他们选择去做的事情中的风险因素。 [02:36.80]The third group he mentioned are those who are risk-seeking. 他提到的第三种是那些寻求风险的人。 [02:39.76]If you seek something, you actively look for it, you try to find it. 如果你寻求某事,你会积极找寻,尽力发现。 [02:44.55]So risk seekers are those who enjoy risk and want to take risks in their life. 所以寻求风险的人是那些享受冒险以及想要在生活中冒险的人。 [02:50.40]Associate professor Kable carried out research on risk-taking 副教授凯布尔开展了一项关于冒险的调查, [02:54.72]and discovered that there were differences in brain structure and the way parts of the brain worked together between those who are risk-averse and those who are risk-tolerant or risk seekers. 发现规避风险的人和能承担风险的人或者是寻求风险的人之间大脑结构不同,大脑各部分共同作用的方式不同。 [03:04.82]So it seems as if this is something that could be measured. 所以似乎这是可以衡量的事物。 [03:08.90]You could put someone in a brain scanner and tell if they like risk or not. 你可以把某人放在头部扫描仪中,说出他们是否喜欢冒险。 [03:12.92]I wonder how useful that would be though.Is there any practical application for this knowledge? 然而我猜想那会多有用。这种认识有任何切实应用吗? [03:18.50]Good question and one that was put to Kable. 问得好,而且这个问题要问凯布尔。 [03:20.81]What area does he say this could be applied to? 他说可以应用到哪个领域? [03:23.75]Definitely something that I can see coming out of this is using these associations to help develop better assessments of who's likely to take risks versus not. 我能明确从中看出,可以用这些联系来更好地评估谁更有可能冒险,谁更不可能冒险。 [03:37.49]This is exactly the thing that financial advisors want to assess when you come to them and say 'I want to put my money away for retirement'. 当你找到财务顾问说自己想要为退休之后的生活存钱时,这确实是他们想要评估的东西。 [03:45.83]Exactly the aspect of your personality that they want to know is what's your tolerance for taking risk. 事实上,他们想了解你个性方面的内容是你对于风险的容忍度。 [03:51.28]In which area does he say knowledge of someone's attitude to risk might be useful? 他说人们对风险的态度在哪个领域或许有用? [03:57.19]Financial planning. 经济决策。 [03:59.10]He says that financial advisors, who are people that give advice on what to do with our money, would find this information very useful. 他说为人们提供财产安置建议的财务顾问,会发现这条信息非常有用。 [04:06.43]It would help them to assess what to do with your money, which means it would help them to decide, 它会帮助你评估如何安置你的财产,那是指它会帮助财务顾问做决策, [04:12.52]to make an intelligent decision about your money in certain situations. 在特定情形下对你的财产做出明智决策。 [04:16.37]For example if you are planning for your retirement. 例如你打算为你的退休做准备。 [04:18.85]Retirement is the time when are able to or you have to stop working. 退休是你能够或者不得不停止工作的时光。 [04:22.87]He also used an interesting expression there, to put your money away, which means 'save your money', 'put it somewhere where you can't spend it and where it can grow'. 他同样使用了一个有趣的表达方式,把你的钱放在一边,指的是存钱,把它放在你不能花费,可以增值的地方。 [04:32.57]You know I think my financial planner could just ask me about how I feel about risk rather than giving me a brain scan.I heard brain scans can be risky! 你知道,我觉得我的财务顾问可以只询问我对于风险的态度,而不是给我做头部扫描。我听说头部扫描有风险。 [04:42.17]Mmm, not sure that's true. 额,不确定那是否正确。 [04:43.52]But anyway, what is true is the answer to this week's quiz question. 但是不管怎么说,今天没错误的是测试问题的答案。 [04:47.50]I asked you when the first driverless car was demonstrated on a public road. 我问你第一辆无人驾驶汽车什么时候上公路的。 [04:52.32]The options were a) the 1970s, b) the1950s and c) the 1920s. 选项是a)20世纪70年代,b) 20世纪50年代 以及 c) 20世纪20年代。 [04:59.30]What did you say, Rob? 你说是什么,罗伯? [05:00.29]I said the 1970s. 我说是20世纪70年代。 [05:01.94]And you were wrong, I'm afraid. 恐怕你错了。 [05:05.20]Apparently it was the 1920s, so a long time ago. 很显然是在20世纪20年代,那么久以前。 [05:08.32]Well done if you got that right. 如果你答对了那就太棒了。 [05:10.37]Now before we drive off into the sunset, let's recap today's vocabulary. 现在在傍晚我们离开之前,让我们回顾一下今天的单词。 [05:14.86]Yes, right, first we had three words describing different attitudes to risk. 是的,好的,首先我们听到的是描述对待风险不同态度的三个词。 [05:19.88]There was risk-averse, for people who don't like risk. 有规避风险的人,是指不喜欢冒险的人。 [05:23.65]People who don't mind risk are risk-tolerant. 不介意风险的人是能够承担风险的人。 [05:26.69]And people who like risk and want risk are risk seekers. 而且喜欢冒险和想要冒险的人是寻求风险的人。 [05:30.32]Next we had the verb 'to assess'. 接下来我们学了动词“评估”。 [05:32.95]This means 'to make a judgement or a decision based on information'. 这指的是根据信息做出判断或者决定。 [05:36.77]A phrase meaning 'to save money' is 'to put money away'. 意思是“存钱”的一个词组是"to put money away"。 [05:40.24]And finally we had 'retirement'. 最后我们学到了“退休”。 [05:42.48]That time of life when you are too old to work anymore or you have enough money that you don't need to work anymore. 那是你太老以至于不能工作或者是你有足够的钱不需要再工作的时光。 [05:48.95]Are you looking forward to your retirement, Rob? 你期待退休吗,罗伯? [05:51.36]Oh, cheeky. 噢,太丢脸了。 [05:52.11]I'm neither old enough nor rich enough to even think about that, Neil. 我既不太老,又不足够有钱去考虑那个,尼尔。 [05:55.73]Same here. 我也是。 [05:56.65]Well, that's all from us today.好的,以上是我们今天所有的内容。 [05:58.92]And you don't have to be a risk seeker to find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, and of course on our website bbclearningenglish.com!
