We know three things about intelligence. One, it's diverse.
培養人才有三個原則。第一，多樣化。
We think about the world in all the ways that we experience it.
我們認知世界的角度不同。
We think visually, we think in sound, we think kinesthetically.
有的從視覺角度，有的從聽覺角度，有的從美學角度。
We think in abstract terms, we think in movement.
有的從抽象的角度，有的從動態的角度。
Secondly, intelligence is dynamic.
第二，好學生應該是充滿活力的。
If you look at the interactions of a human brain,
如果觀察一下人類大腦的內部組織，
as we heard yesterday from a number of presentations, intelligence is wonderfully interactive.
就像我們昨天所看到的演講中演示的，大腦發育具有關聯性。
The brain isn't divided into compartments.
大腦不應被分成幾部分。
In fact, creativity -- which I define as the process of having original ideas that have value
其實我認為應該創造性地把大腦看作一整套工序，生產有價值的原創想法的工序，
more often than not comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things.
這種原創想法往往來自互動的思考方式，而不是呆板的常規模式。
By the way, there's a shaft of nerves that joins the two halves of the brain called the corpus callosum. It's thicker in women.
大腦本來就是由神經來連接左腦和右腦，這個連接部分叫胼胝體。女性大腦中的這個部分比男性的要厚。
Following off from Helen yesterday, this is probably why women are better at multi-tasking. Because you are, aren't you?
昨天聽了Helen的演講受到啟發，我認為，腦部特征可能使女性更善于應對頭緒紛亂的事情。對嗎？
There's a raft of research, but I know it from my personal life.
雖然關于這方面的研究有很多，但我對于這方面的了解其實來源于我的親身體驗。
If my wife is cooking a meal at home -- which is not often, thankfully.
我妻子在家做飯時--感謝上帝，她不常做飯。
No, she's good at some things, but if she's cooking, she's dealing with people on the phone,
雖然她不擅廚藝，但很擅長其他一些事，不過她做飯時總是打打電話，
she's talking to the kids, she's painting the ceiling, she's doing open-heart surgery over here.
和孩子們說說話，給天棚刷刷漆，還在旁邊做開胸手術。
If I'm cooking, the door is shut, the kids are out, the phone's on the hook, if she comes in I get annoyed.
而我做飯時就會關上廚房門，不讓孩子們進來打擾，不打電話，這時如果我妻子進來我會很生氣。
I say, "Terry, please, I'm trying to fry an egg in here. Give me a break."
我會這樣對我妻子說：“Terry，我在煎雞蛋，請你別打擾。”
Actually, do you know that old philosophical thing, if a tree falls in a forest and nobody hears it, did it happen?
大家都知道那句有哲理的話，如果森林里有棵樹倒了可沒人聽到，那是否意味著沒發生過？
Remember that old chestnut? I saw a great t-shirt recently, which said,
記得這句話嗎？最近我看到一件很棒的T恤，上面印著：
"If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?"
“如果一個男人說出他的心聲，卻是在森林里說的，而且沒被女人聽到，那應該不算犯錯吧？”
