Magnifying the negative. Minimizing the positive. In other words, what the media does is to distort our perception.
放大消極，縮小積極，也就是說媒體扭曲了我們的觀點(diǎn)
It actually makes us into pessimists, especially because the news is on 24 hours a day.
它實(shí)際上讓我們變成了悲觀主義者，尤其是現(xiàn)在一天24小時(shí)都有新聞
And we are constantly bombarded by negativity after negativity after negativity.
我們不停地受到消極的轟炸一個(gè)接著一個(gè)
And where do we get the positive? 30 seconds at the end of the news. Oh yes, there's also a little bit good stuff going on.
我們能從哪里聽到正面新聞？新聞報(bào)道最后30秒。沒錯(cuò)，這世界還是有點(diǎn)好事的
And it's just to make you smile so that you come back tomorrow or the next hour for more bad news.
這樣做只是為了讓你笑一笑，讓你明天或下一小時(shí)，繼續(xù)收看更多的壞消息
Negativity after negativity after negativity. Distorting.
一個(gè)接一個(gè)的負(fù)面消息。扭曲
Creating these cognitive distortions, the psychological traps that we talked about under cognitive behavior, under cognitive therapy.
造成認(rèn)知扭曲，這就是我們之前學(xué)認(rèn)知治療和認(rèn)知行為時(shí)，談到的心理陷阱
And we become pessimistic. Is it any wonder that most people are pessimistic when the media has such an impact on us?
我們成為悲觀主義者，有沒有人想為什么大部分人是悲觀主義者？當(dāng)媒體對我們有那么大影響力時(shí)
Again, not to belittle the role of the media.
我這樣說不是貶低媒體的作用
But what I am doing is highlighting certain aspect that we need to be cognizant of, that we need to counter.
我這樣說是為了突出我們需要認(rèn)清并且反對的一個(gè)方面
And how we counter — we'll talk about it in a minute.
我們怎么反對——等一下再談這個(gè)
So what does the media highlight? The frauds — Martha Stewart, or Enron, or Worldcom.
媒體突出什么？欺詐行為，例如瑪莎家居，安然，世界通訊公司
Highlighting these frauds, but not reporting on the millions and billions of honest transactions that takes place everyday, right now as we speak.
突出它們的欺詐行為，而不是去報(bào)道世界上每天都發(fā)生的另外那幾百幾千億宗的正當(dāng)交易，此時(shí)此刻就有很多正當(dāng)交易了
Highlighting the negative. Ignoring the positive.
強(qiáng)調(diào)負(fù)面，無視正面
Millions and billions of honest transactions taking place all the time, all around us constantly.
在我們身邊每時(shí)每刻都在發(fā)生的幾百幾千億的正當(dāng)交易
