In fact, in the years that I gathered data, only one experience came close to being the perfect one.
事實上，在我收集數據的那幾年里，只有一種體驗接近那個完美體驗。
That is, of course, sex. Great sex. Respondents said that great sex hits all of the five senses at an extreme level.
當然那是性愛，偉大的性愛。受訪者說偉大的性愛觸發(fā)了所有五種感覺達到一個極至。
Here I'll quote one of my students who said, "Sex is so good, it's good even when it's bad."
這里我要引用我的一個學生說過的話，“性愛這么好，好到甚至過程不理想的時候也是好。”
So the five senses theory does help explain why sex is so good.
所以五感理論確實有助于解釋性愛這么好的原因。
Now in the middle of all this five senses work, I suddenly remembered the solar-powered clocks project from my youth.
現在在所有五種感官的工作中，我突然想起了那個青年時代的太陽能供電時鐘項目。
And I realized this theory also explains why Chris's clock is so much better than mine.
我也意識到這個理論解釋了為什么Chris設計的時鐘比我設計的要好的多。
You see, my clock only focuses on sight, and a little bit of touch.
你看，我設計的時鐘只集中在視覺上，觸覺只涉及了一點兒。
Here's Chris's clock. It's the first clock ever that uses smell to tell the time.
這是Chris設計的時鐘。它是有史以來第一個用氣味來報時的時鐘。
In fact, in terms of the five senses, Chris's clock is a revolution.
事實上，根據五種感覺，Chris設計的時鐘是一場革命。
And that's what this theory taught me about my field.
這就是在我的領域這個理論教會我的東西。
You see, up till now, us designers, we've mainly focused on making things look very pretty,
你看，到目前為止，我們設計者們主要集中在讓東西看起來很好看，
and a little bit of touch, which means we've ignored the other three senses.
只涉及到一點兒觸覺，意味著我們忽略了其它三種感覺。
Chris's clock shows us that even raising just one of those other senses can make for a brilliant product.
Chris設計的時鐘向我們顯示了，甚至只提高其它感覺里的一種就能夠生產出優(yōu)秀的產品。
So what if we started using the five senses theory in all of our designs?
因此要是在所有我們的設計中開始用五感理論呢？
Here's three quick ideas I came up with.
下面是我想出的三個小點子。
This is an iron, you know, for your clothes, to which I added a spraying mechanism,
你知道這是一個熨衣服的熨斗，我給它添加了一個噴霧機制，
so you fill up the vial with your favorite scent, and your clothes will smell nicer,
所以用你最喜歡的香味填滿這個小瓶，你的衣服就會更好聞。
but hopefully it should also make the ironing experience more enjoyable. We could call this "the perfumator."
但愿它也會使熨衣體驗更加愉快。我們可以叫這個“香味制造器”。
