My left hemisphere, our left hemisphere, is a very different place.
我的左腦半球，我們的左腦半球，則是一個完全不同的地方。
Our left hemisphere thinks linearly and methodically.
我們左腦半球的思考是線性的，系統(tǒng)的。
Our left hemisphere is all about the past and it's all about the future.
我們的左腦半球的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于過去和將來。
Our left hemisphere is designed to take that enormous collage of the present moment and start picking out details, and more details about those details.
我們左腦半球的形成，是為了將此刻的大量抽象拼圖，提取，然后分解成細(xì)節(jié)，很多的不同的細(xì)節(jié)。
It then categorizes and organizes all that information, associates it with everything in the past we've ever learned,
然后再綜合，組織這些信息，和我們過去所學(xué)的一切聯(lián)系起來，
and projects into the future all of our possibilities.
映射到我們的將來。
And our left hemisphere thinks in language. It's that ongoing brain chatter that connects me and my internal world to my external world.
我們的左腦半球是邏輯思維模式。大腦不斷運(yùn)動聯(lián)系了我，我內(nèi)在的世界，以及我的外在的世界。
It's that little voice that says to me, "Hey, you've got to remember to pick up bananas on your way home.
就是那些輕微的聲音提醒我說，“嘿，記得在回家的路上帶點香蕉回來。
I need them in the morning." It's that calculating intelligence that reminds me when I have to do my laundry.
我早上想吃香蕉?！?是那些智能程序提醒我，
But perhaps most important, it's that little voice that says to me, "I am. I am."
我得洗衣服了。但最重要的可能是，那些細(xì)小的聲音在提醒我，“我就是我，我就是我。”
And as soon as my left hemisphere says to me "I am," I become separate.
然后我得左腦半球會提醒說“我就是我，” 因此我成為了一個獨立的個體。
I become a single solid individual, separate from the energy flow around me and separate from you.
我是一個獨立的立體的個人，和周圍其它的能量分離，也和你分離。
And this was the portion of my brain that I lost on the morning of my stroke.
這就是早上中風(fēng)的時候，我的大腦所丟失的部分。
On the morning of the stroke, I woke up to a pounding pain behind my left eye.
早上中風(fēng)后，醒來時，感覺我得左眼很疼。
And it was the kind of caustic pain that you get when you bite into ice cream.
是一種鉆心的疼。如同你咬了一口冰淇淋。
And it just gripped me -- and then it released me. And then it just gripped me -- and then it released me.
先是緊緊地揪住我，然后再釋放。然后再揪住我，再釋放。
And it was very unusual for me to ever experience any kind of pain, so I thought, "OK, I'll just start my normal routine."
它不同于我以往所經(jīng)歷的任何形式的疼痛。因此，我想著，我應(yīng)該開始我的常規(guī)生活了。
