But now here's where the bias comes in.
但是現(xiàn)在偏見出現(xiàn)了。
Our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces,
我們最重要的機構(gòu)，學(xué)校及職場，
they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation.
卻像是為外向者設(shè)計的，并且有適合他們需要的刺激。
And also we have this belief system right now that I call the new groupthink,
當然我們現(xiàn)在也有這樣一種信用機制，我稱它為新型的“團隊思考”，
which holds that all creativity and all productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place.
這是一種包含所有創(chuàng)造力和生產(chǎn)力的思考方式，從一個社交非常零散的地方產(chǎn)生的。
So if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: When I was going to school, we sat in rows.
當你描繪今天典型教室的圖案時：當我還上學(xué)的時候，我們一排排地坐著。
We sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously.
我們靠著桌子，一排排坐著，就像這樣，并且我們大多數(shù)工作都是自覺完成的。
But nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other.
但是在現(xiàn)代社會，所謂典型的教室是些圈起來并排的桌子--四個或是五個或是六、七個孩子坐在一起，面對面。
And kids are working in countless group assignments.
孩子們要完成無數(shù)個小組任務(wù)。
Even in subjects like math and creative writing,
甚至像數(shù)學(xué)和創(chuàng)意寫作這些課程，
which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members.
這些你們認為需要依靠個人閃光想法的課程，孩子們現(xiàn)在卻被期待成為小組會的成員。
And for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases.
對于那些喜歡獨處，或者自己一個人獨立完成作業(yè)的孩子來說，他們常常被視為局外人或者更糟，被視為問題孩子。
And the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert,
幾乎所有老師都認為，好的學(xué)生應(yīng)該是外向活潑的，內(nèi)向的孩子則正好相反。
even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research.
即使內(nèi)向的孩子成績較好，甚至更博學(xué)多聞。這是根據(jù)研究得出的。
