Ali Crum was my student for, since her freshman year.
阿里·克拉姆從大一起就是我的學生
I was her TF when I taught with Phil Stone.
我是她的助教，那時我和菲爾·斯通一起教學
And then I was her thesis advisor with Ellen Langer.
然后我和艾倫·蘭格是她的畢業論文導師
And this was the topic of her thesis.
這是她的畢業論文題目
When Ellen Langer came up with the idea for the thesis,
當艾倫·蘭格提出這個想法時
and she told Ali and me this is what I think would be a very interesting study,
她告訴我和阿里，我覺得這會是個有趣的研究
I took Ellen aside after the study, after the meeting, after Ali went away.
我在會后把艾倫叫到一邊，在阿里走了之后
And I told her, you know, Ellen I don't think it's fair.
我跟她說，艾倫我覺得這樣不公平
I don't it's fair that Ali will do her thesis on it.
我覺得讓阿里用這個做畢業論文不太公平
Because the thesis is a very tough experiment, you'll hear about it if you haven't read about it in a minute.
因為這是個非常困難的實驗，如果你們沒看過的話，一會兒就會聽到了
If we take a lot of time from her, she's not going to get any results.
就算我們花費她大量的時間，她也不會有任何成果
Now you can write your senior thesis with getting no result, without getting a result, that's OK.
現在你們的畢業論文可以沒有結果，沒有成果也沒關系
But I said, "why waste her time, her senior year
但我說，干嘛浪費她的時間呢
And she said to me, will work. I said to her, no it won't. And boy, did it work!
她跟我說會有結果的。我說不會的。而最后真的有結果
Now I've learned since not to argue with Ellen Langer, because she has ideas that you would never think would work,
我從那時起就學會了不和艾倫·蘭格爭辯，因為她總有你覺得不可能有結果的想法
but they do like the study we mentioned with the 1979, I'm going back to 1959
但他們確實很喜歡我們1979年的，回到1959實驗
or with the eye test, being simply in the flying simulator improves your eyesight.
或是那個視力測試，只是飛行模擬器提升了你的視力
Again, ideas that seem fantastic, but she proves them right. So the same happened here with this study.
就是這些看起來很無厘頭的想法，她證明它們是正確的。這個研究也是如此
The study was Ali went to hotels and worked with the ladies who were cleaning the hotels.
這個實驗是阿里去到酒店和酒店的清潔工一起工作
