I'm Jane McGonigal. I'm a game designer.
我叫JaneMcGonigal，我是一名游戲設計師
I've been making games online now for 10 years,
我從事網絡游戲設計已經10年了
and my goal for the next decade
我未來十年的目標
is to try to make it as easy
就是希望能讓
to save the world in real life
就像玩網絡游戲那樣
as it is to save the world in online games.
簡單的解決現實生活中的問題
Now, I have a plan for this,
現在，我將解釋一下我這么說的原因
and it entails convincing more people,
如果人們能玩到一些更大型、更優秀的游戲
including all of you, to spend more time
當然包括在座的諸位，并且能花費更多的時間在游戲上
playing bigger and better games.
你會覺得我的解釋更有說服力
Right now we spend three billion hours a week
現如今的人們用在網絡游戲上的時間可以達到每周30億小時
playing online games.
現如今的人們用在網絡游戲上的時間可以達到每周30億小時
Some of you might be thinking,
你們當中有些人可能會覺得
"That's a lot of time to spend playing games.
“花費了這么多時間玩游戲啊”
Maybe too much time, considering
也許有些多了，因為考慮到
how many urgent problems we have to solve in the real world."
現實生活中有很多的緊迫的問題需要我們去處理
But actually, according to my research
但是，根據我在未來問題研究所
at The Institute For The Future,
對相關問題的研究
it's actually the opposite is true.
我們花費在游戲上的時間一點也不多
Three billion hours a week is not nearly enough
每周30億小時的游戲世間對于解決現實生活中的問題來說遠遠不足
game play to solve the world's most urgent problems.
每周30億小時的游戲世間對于解決現實生活中的問題來說遠遠不足
In fact, I believe that if we want to survive
事實上，我覺得為了能更好得在地球上生存
the next century on this planet,
事實上，我覺得為了能更好得在地球上生存
we need to increase that total dramatically.
我們需要大量增加游戲時間
I've calculated the total we need
我曾經計算過，我們所需要的游戲時間
at 21 billion hours of game play every week.
是每周210億小時
So, that's probably a bit of a counterintuitive idea,
也許這有些違背常理
so I'll say it again, let it sink in:
但，我想重新說一遍，以便于讓這種觀念被充分理解
If we want to solve problems like hunger,
如果我們想解決諸如饑餓、
poverty, climate change, global conflict, obesity,
貧困、氣候變化、全球沖突、肥胖等問題
I believe that we need to aspire
我堅信我們需要被鼓勵
to play games online
人們去玩網絡游戲
for at least 21 billion hours a week,
而且每周至少210億小時
by the end of the next decade. (Laughter)
當然，這將會在十年以后（笑聲）
No. I'm serious. I am.
其實，我是很認真的，不是玩笑
Here's why. This picture pretty much
這里是解釋，我們把這種場景集合起來
sums up why I think games are so essential
就是之所以游戲對人類種族
to the future survival of the human species.Truly.
能在未來生存非常重要的原因。真的
This is a portrait by a photographer named Phil Toledano.
這是一幅由Phil Toldano拍攝的肖像
He wanted to capture the emotion of gaming,
他想捕捉玩游戲時的一些情感變化
so he set up a camera in front of gamers while they were playing.
因此，他把攝影儀器放在正在玩游戲的游戲玩家面前
And this is a classic gaming emotion.
這是一幅游戲玩家的經典表情
Now, if you're not a gamer,
現在，如果你不是一個游戲玩家
you might miss some of the nuance in this photo.
你就不會察覺出這幅照片中的真正內涵
You probably see the sense of urgency,
你可能會感覺到緊迫、
a little bit of fear, but intense concentration,
一絲的恐懼，而不是精神的高度集中
deep, deep focus on tackling a really difficult problem.
抑或者是集中精力在解決一個難題
If you are a gamer, you will notice
如果你是一位游戲玩家，你就會感覺到一些不同東西
a few nuances here: the crinkle of the eyes up, and around the mouth
眼角周圍的褶皺是向上的，包括嘴角周圍的褶皺也是一樣的
is a sign of optimism,
這是一個非常樂觀的跡象
and the eyebrows up is surprise.
并且，眉毛向上翹起是驚訝的標志
This is a gamer who is on the verge of something called
這說明，這個游戲玩家即將在游戲中獲得
an epic win.
史詩般勝利
Oh, you've heard of that. OK, good,
你們曾經聽說過這個詞，不錯
so we have some gamers among us.
也就是說你們當中有些是游戲玩家
An epic win is an outcome
這個史詩般的勝利是一個結果
that is so extraordinarily positive
但是它非常令人振奮
you had no idea it was even possible until you achieved it.
在得到這個勝利之前你甚至不曾想到竟然能取得成功
It was almost beyond the threshold of imagination.
這個成功甚至超出了你的想象
And when you get there you are shocked
當你一旦達到并完成，你就會被自己的技能所震撼
to discover what you are truly capable of. That is an epic win.
這就是所謂的“史詩般的勝利”
This is a gamer on the verge of an epic win.
而這個玩家即將取得這樣的勝利
And this is the face that we need to see
同時，這也是在下個世紀，
on millions of problem-solvers all over the world
我們所期望的在處理全球眾多問題
as we try to tackle the obstacles of the next century --
排除各種障礙時露出的表情
the face of someone who, against all odds
能排除萬難的人
is on the verge of an epic win.
是無往不勝的
Now, unfortunately this is more of the face that we see
現在，不幸的是，當我們處理日常生活中各種緊急事件的時候，
in everyday life now as we try to tackle urgent problems.
我們往往看到的是這個表情
This is what I call the "I'm Not Good At Life" face,
通常我稱這個為“不擅長生活”表情
and this is actually me making it. Can you see? Yes. Good.
事實上是我自己做出的這個，能否從中看出來呢？好的
