31.Time perspective is the study of how individuals, all of us, divide the flow of your human experience into time zones or time categories.
时间洞察力是研究个人 包括我们在内，如何以时间区域或时间类别为单位 划分自身的经历体验。
32.And you do it automatically and non-consciously.
其实我们一直都在自然而然地做着
33.They vary between cultures, between nations, between individuals, between social classes, between education levels.
而影响我们划分方式的因素有很多，包括不同的文化背景、国家 个人、社会阶层 以及不同的教育背景
34.And the problem is that they can become biased.
问题是由于这些因素的存在，最终导致时间洞察力都具是片面的
35.Because you learn to over use some of them and under-use the others.
因为你学会经常使用其中的一些，而其他的则被很少使用
36.What determines any decision you make?
是什么促使你做出那些选择？
37.You make a decision, on which you’re going to base an action.
你所做的决定是基于你怎么采取行动的
38.For some people it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing and what you’re feeling.
对一些人来说，这个决定只是基于现状 另一些人是基于他们的直觉。
39.And those people, when they make their decisions in that format — we’re going to call them “present oriented.”
对于那些基于现状而做决定的人 我们称呼他们为：“面向现在”
40.Because their focus is what is now.
因为他们专注于现正发生的事情
41.For others, the present is irrelevant.
对于另一些人来说，现正发生什么并不重要
42.It’s always about “What is this situation like that I’ve experienced in the past?”
就好像是说：“我以前好像经历过类似的事情”一样
43.So that their decisions are based on past memories.
所以，他们基于过去的经验来做决定
44.And we’re going to call those people “past oriented.” Because they focus on what was.
我们称呼这些人为：“观望过去”，因为他们专注于过去
45.For others it’s not the past, it’s not the present, it’s only about the future.
还有一部分人，他们的考虑不是基于现在，也不是过去 而是未来
46.Their focus is always about anticipated consequences.
他们专注于预期的结果
47.Cost-benefit analysis.
就像成本效益分析一样
48.We’re going to call them “future oriented.” Their focus is on what will be.
我们称呼这些人为：展望未来。因为他们专注于将来会是怎么样的
49.So, time paradox, I want to argue, the paradox of time perspective, is something that influences every decision you make, you’re totally unaware of.
那么，时间悖论，这里我要讨论的是： 时间洞察力的悖论 会不会有某个因素影响你做出的每一个决定 而你又完全不知？
50.Namely, the extent to which you have one of these biased time perspectives.
那你就具有某种程度上的 片面的时间洞察力
51.Well there is actually six of them. There are two ways to be present oriented.
实际上是有六种时间洞察力，其中两个属于“面向现在”
52.There is two ways to be past oriented, two ways to be future.
两个属于“观望过去”，还有两个属于“展望未来”
53.You can focus on past-positive, or past-negative.
你可以专注于“积极经历”或“消极经历”
54.You can be present-hedonistic, namely you focus on the joys of life, or present-fatalist.
也可以专注于“享受现在” 指的是你专注于生活中的快乐，或者自身宿命
55.It doesn’t matter. Your life is controlled.
这些都无所谓，因为你的生活尽在掌握
56.You can be future oriented, setting goals.
当然，你也可以“展望未来”，设定一个目标
57.Or you can be transcendental future: namely, life begins after death.
或者超越未来 指的是：生命在死后重新开始
58.Developing the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly depending on the demands of the situation, that’s what you’ve got to learn to do.
通过增强精神灵活性来顺利地提升时间洞察力 这有赖于环境的需求 这就是你要学着去做的
59.So, very quickly, what is the optimal time profile?
那么，什么是最佳的时间洞察力呢？
60.High on past-positive. Moderately high on future.
高度依赖于“积极经历”，适度依赖于未来

61.And moderate on present-hedonism.
适度依赖于”享受现在“
62.And always low on past-negative and present-fatalism.
永远不考虑“消极经历” 和“宿命论”
63.So the optimal temporal mix is what you get from the past — past-positive give you roots. You connect your family, identity and your self.
其实，最佳的时间洞察力是由你过去的经历 “积极经历”奠定了基础，你和你的家庭，独立自主
64.What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges.
从未来得到是 值得奋斗的目标，新的挑战

需要牺牲业余爱好，需要牺牲睡眠时间。因此会影响身体健康

他们的生活中只有工作、成就和控制欲
72.I’m sure that resonates with some of the TEDsters.
我保证你们在座的一些人会对此引起共鸣
73.(Laughter) And it resonated for me. I grew up as a poor kid in the South Bronx ghetto, of Sicilian family. Everyone lived in the past and present.
（笑声） 这些与我引起了共鸣，我出生于南布朗克斯贫民窟中的一个贫困的 西西里岛人的家庭中。每个人都是在沉湎过去和活在当下

在这里，我，作为一位“展望未来”的人 拜我的老师所赐，我做出了以上所有的牺牲 并将我改变成为一位“展望未来”的人。

77.So at 76 years old, I am more energetic than ever, more productive, and I’m happier than I have ever been.
因此，在我76岁的时候，我感觉到从没有过的精力、动力 现在的我比以前任何时候都要快乐！
78.I just want to say that we are applying this to many world problems, changing the drop-out rates of school kids, combating addictions, enhancing teen health,
这里，我只是想说：要应用这个原理去解决世界上的很多问题 改变学校的退学率 打击毒品，增强青少年健康
79.curing vets’ PTSD with time metaphors — getting miracle cures — promoting sustainability and conservation, reducing physical rehabilitation where there is a 50-percent drop out rate,
