Now the technology around what the truth looks like is progressing on, the science of it.
現在的測謊技術正在日新月異地發展。
We know, for example, that we now have specialized eye trackers and infrared brain scans,
比如說，我們有專門的眼球追蹤儀、紅外線腦部掃描，
MRI's that can decode the signals that our bodies send out when we're trying to be deceptive.
還有能夠破解我們說謊時，身體發射信號的核磁共振成像技術。
And these technologies are going to be marketed to all of us as panaceas for deceit, and they will prove incredibly useful some day.
這些技術得到廣泛推廣成了測謊的保障，有朝一日這些技術會發揮意想不到的作用，
But you've got to ask yourself in the meantime:
但與此同時你們必須捫心自問：
Who do you want on your side of the meeting, someone who's trained in getting to the truth or some guy who's going to drag a 400-pound electroencephalogram through the door?
在開會時，你希望來的是一位訓練有素的測謊專家呢，還是看著一個拖著重達400磅腦電圖儀的家伙從門外走進來？
Liespotters rely on human tools. They know, as someone once said, "Character's who you are in the dark."
識謊者依賴的是人性的工具。有人曾說他們知道“人格就是黑暗中的人類本性”。
And what's kind of interesting is that today, we have so little darkness.
有意思的是如今我們的黑暗太少了。
Our world is lit up 24 hours a day.
我們的世界全天24個小時都是亮堂堂的。
It's transparent with blogs and social networks broadcasting the buzz of a whole new generation of people that have made a choice to live their lives in public.
博客和社交網站把新一代人的聲音廣播出去，這代人選擇活在公眾的目光之下，世界都是透明的了。
It's a much more noisy world. So one challenge we have is to remember, oversharing, that's not honesty.
世界現在更加嘈雜，因此我們必須記住一點，過度分享不等于誠實。
Our manic tweeting and texting can blind us to the fact that the subtleties of human decency -- character integrity -- that's still what matters, that's always what's going to matter.
瘋狂地發微博、發短信，會讓我們忽視一個事實，即人類的道德正義仍然很重要，無論是現在還是將來。
So in this much noisier world, it might make sense for us to be just a little bit more explicit about our moral code.
在這樣一個嘈雜的世界里我們對道德準則稍微較真兒一點，還是有道理的。
