Second, I told Emma that the urban tribe is overrated.
其次，我告訴Emma城市部落被高估了。
Best friends are great for giving rides to the airport,
找好朋友來搭車至機場很棒，
but twentysomethings who huddle together with like-minded peers limit who they know,
但二十幾歲的人若和思維方式相似的同齡人聚在一起，他們所知道的人，
what they know, how they think, how they speak, and where they work.
他們所知道的事，他們的思維方式，他們的講話方式以及他們的工作地點就會受到限制。
That new piece of capital, that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle.
那個新的資本，那個新的可以約出去的人幾乎總是從內部圈子之外來的。
New things come from what are called our weak ties, our friends of friends of friends.
新的事物從我們所謂的微弱的聯系中來，比如我們的朋友的朋友的朋友。
So yes, half of twentysomethings are un- or under-employed.
是的，大概有一半的二十幾歲的人未就業或者未充分就業。
But half aren't, and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group.
但有一半不是這樣的，而微弱的聯系就是把你自己加入那一個團體的方式。
Half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that unposted job.
有一半的新職位不會被張貼出來，而聯系到你的鄰居的老板就是你拿到那份未被張貼的工作的方法。
It's not cheating. It's the science of how information spreads.
這不是作弊。這是關于信息如何傳遞的科學。
Last but not least, Emma believed that you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.
最后，Emma相信一個人不能選擇家庭，但可以選擇朋友。
Now this was true for her growing up, but as a twentysomething,
在她的成長過程中這是沒錯的，但作為一個二十幾歲的人，
soon Emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own.
很快Emma就要通過和某人結伴，創造一個家庭來選擇她自己的家庭。
I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now.
我告訴Emma選擇家庭的時間就是現在。
