The average young person today in a country with a strong gamer culture will have spent 10,000 hours playing online games by the age of 21.
在一個玩游戲氛圍很強的國家，當今的年輕人在其21歲前，平均每人花費在網絡游戲上的時間可達10000小時。
Now 10,000 hours is a really interesting number for two reasons.
現在，一萬小時是一個很有趣的數值主要是因為有兩個原因。
First of all, for children in the United States 10,080 hours is the exact amount of time you will spend in school from fifth grade to high school graduation if you have perfect attendance.
首先，美國的兒童，從五年級到高中畢業所需要的時間就是10080個小時，當然你得表現良好（按時上課，出勤）。
So, we have an entire parallel track of education going on where young people are learning as much about what it takes to be a good gamer as they are learning about everything else in school.
我們就有了一份并行跟蹤教育的數據，它顯示：年輕人做一個好的游戲玩家所花費的時間與他們在學校里面學習知識所用的時間是一樣多的。
And some of you have probably read Malcolm Gladwell's new book Outliers.
你們當中的有些人肯定讀過MalcomGladwell的新書《局外人》。
So, you would have heard of his theory of success,the 10,000 hour theory of success.
因此你們對作者關于成功理論的見解也就不是那么陌生了，一萬小時成功法則。
It's based on this great cognitive science research that if we can master 10,000 hours of effortful study at anything by the age of 21, we will be virtuosos at it.
這個法則是基于認知科學研究的，如果我們在21歲前能花費10000小時，專心努力的學習或者是做一些其他的事情，那么我們一定可以在這些事情上獲得巨大成功。
We will be as good at whatever we do as the greatest people in the world.
我們將在我們所做的任何事情上成為世界級專家。
And so, now what we're looking at is an entire generation of young people who are virtuoso gamers.
現在，我們所關注的就是擅長游戲的整整一代年輕人。
So, the big question is,What exactly are gamers getting so good at?
最大的問題就是“這些游戲玩家擅長于做些什么？”
Because if we could figure that out,we would have a virtually unprecedented human resource on our hands.
如果我們能給出答案，我們將會發掘出一個史無前例的人力資源。
This is how many people we now have in the world who spend at least an hour a day playing online games.
他們就是我們現在所擁有的那些，每天花費至少一小時去玩網絡游戲的游戲玩家們。
These are our virtuoso gamers,500 million people who are extraordinarily good at something.
他們都是技藝精湛的游戲高手，5億擅長于某些事情的人。
And in the next decade we're going to have another billion gamers who are extraordinarily good at whatever that is.
在接下來的十年里又會有10億多擅長于某個領域的新游戲玩家加入進來。
If you don't know it already, this is coming.
如果聞所未聞，那么我告訴你，這件事正在進行。
