So where does this leave us with finding a meaning to life?
那么我們該如何找出生命的意義呢？
The answer,I think,is pretty clear.
我認為答案非常清楚
Meaning itself is simply another piece of the model of reality
意義本身不過就是
that we each built inside our own brains.
每個人在大腦里建構的現實模型其中的一部分
Take this mother and child.
舉這位母親和小孩為例
They each create their own little bubbles of reality in their conscious minds.
他們各自在意識中建構自己所認知的現實世界
The youngster,can create a detailed mental model of his surroundings.
小孩能建立周遭環境 詳細的心智模型
Even though he may not fully appreciate the fact he's on the fifth floor.
但他可能無法完全體認 自己其實是在五樓
The mother's reality is also produced by her mind.
母親認知中的現實也來自于她的意識
And for her,her love for her boy is as real as the telephone in her hand.
對她而言 她對兒子的愛 就如手中拿的電話一樣真實
In short: the brain is responsible for not only the reality we perceive
簡言之 大腦不只是掌管我們感知的現實情況
but for our emotions and meaning,too.
還包括我們的情緒和意義
