And soon, I started hearing from people all over the world who were adopting their own secret identity,
在此之后我開始得到從世界各地來的反饋，他們開始選擇他們自己秘密身份，
recruiting their own allies, and they were getting "super better,"
招募他們自己的盟友，他們開始變得“極了不起”
facing challenges like cancer and chronic pain, depression and Crohn's disease.
在面對挑戰例如癌癥、慢性疼痛、憂郁和克羅恩病時。
Even people were playing it for terminal diagnoses like ALS.
即使得了絕癥像ALS的人也在玩這個游戲。
And I could tell from their messages and their videos that the game was helping them in the same ways that it helped me.
我能從他們留言和錄像中看得出來游戲像減輕我的痛苦一樣，減輕著他們的痛苦。
They talked about feeling stronger and braver.
他們說他們感到更變強大，更勇敢了。
They talked about feeling better understood by their friends and family.
他們說他們感覺到更容易被他們的家人和朋友理解。
And they even talked about feeling happier, even though they were in pain,
他們也談到他們感覺到更加的快樂幸福，即使他們的疼痛還在，
even though they were tackling the toughest challenge of their lives.
即使他們應對著他們生命中最艱難的挑戰。
Now at the time, I'm thinking to myself, what is going on here?
那時，我思索著，到底發生了什么？
I mean, how could a game so trivial intervene so powerfully in such serious,
我的意思是，游戲怎么可以如此有威力，當它細微的介入
and in some cases life-and-death, circumstances?
到比較嚴重和生死攸關情形中？
I mean, if it hadn't worked for me, there's no way I would have believed it was possible.
我的意思是，如果它對我不起作用，打死我也不信它真的有用。
Well, it turns out there's some science here, too.
但其實這也是有科學依據的。
Some people get stronger and happier after a traumatic event. And that's what was happening to us.
有的人在經歷過精神創傷后，會變得更強壯和快樂。這正是我們親身經歷著的。
The game was helping us experience what scientists call post-traumatic growth, which is not something we usually hear about.
游戲使我們體驗著被科學家稱之為創傷后精神再生，這不是一個我們常能聽到的說法。
We usually hear about post-traumatic stress disorder.
我們經常能聽到“創傷后壓力心理障礙癥”。
But scientists now know that a traumatic event doesn't doom us to suffer indefinitely.
但現在科學家發現精神重創事件并不注定會給我們無休止的痛苦。
Instead, we can use it as a springboard to unleash our best qualities and lead happier lives.
相反，我們能用它做為跳板去發掘我們最大的潛力，從而有個更快樂的人生。
