And while I don't have any concrete data to back up this next idea,
雖然目前我沒(méi)有具體的數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)支持我的下一個(gè)想法，
I think that for a lot of us, it happens around the time we hit puberty.
但我認(rèn)為對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，當(dāng)我們邁入青春期時(shí)，這種情況便已司空見(jiàn)慣。
And you know -- yeah, I know. So during puberty, our bodies are changing, and we're sweating more,
就像這樣--沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這就是那個(gè)時(shí)期的我。我們的身體在青春期時(shí)開(kāi)始改變，出更多的汗，
and girls get their periods, and we're thinking about sex in this way that we never did before.
女孩開(kāi)始月經(jīng)，我們從未這樣思考過(guò)性。
And through the human capacity for abstraction, this shame can settle in.
受人類(lèi)抽象思維能力的限制，這種羞愧便很容易立足。
So we don't necessarily just think, "Oh, my goodness, something really gross is happening to my body!"
我們不會(huì)只想到：“哦，天吶，我的身體正經(jīng)歷著惡心的東西！”
We think, "Oh my God, maybe I'm gross. And maybe that means that there's something bad or wrong about me."
我們會(huì)想：“哦，上帝，也許我很惡心。也許那意味著我出了什么問(wèn)題。”
The thing is, that if you de facto associate gross stuff with immorality,
問(wèn)題是，如果你們將惡心的事物與不道德聯(lián)系在一起，
you lose a huge part of your curiosity, because there is so much out there in the world that is a little bit gross.
就會(huì)失去絕大部分的好奇心，因?yàn)槭澜绨_萬(wàn)象，總有一部分多少有點(diǎn)惡心。
Like, think about going for a walk in the woods.
舉個(gè)例子，想象在叢林中漫步。
You could just pay attention to the birds and the trees and the flowers and that would be fine,
你或許只會(huì)注意到鳥(niǎo)、樹(shù)和花，它們很漂亮，
but in my view, you'd be missing a bigger and more awesome picture of life on this planet.
但我看來(lái)，你會(huì)錯(cuò)失這個(gè)星球中生命更加廣闊和奇妙的一面。
There are cycles of decay that are driving forest growth,
衰變的循環(huán)正駕馭著森林的生長(zhǎng)，
and there are networks of fungus beneath your feet that are connecting literally all of the plants around you.
在你們腳下存在著網(wǎng)絡(luò)般的菌類(lèi)植物，與你們身邊的植物緊密相連。
That's really amazing. So I feel like we should be talking about gross stuff early and often with young people,
那確實(shí)令人吃驚。所以我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該盡早并且頻繁的與年輕人談?wù)搻盒牡臇|西，
so they feel like they're actually allowed to claim this bigger picture of life on our planet.
讓他們真切地感受到需要體會(huì)我們星球上的生命中廣闊的一面。
The good news is that for many of us,
對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)好消息是：
the fascination with gross stuff doesn't exactly go away, we just kind of pretend like it's not there.
惡心事物的樂(lè)趣并未消失殆盡，我們只是有意無(wú)意地忽視了它們的存在。
