Not only did they identified the character strengths, they also created mechanisms, ways, means of measuring these character strengths.
他們不僅定義了這些人格力量，還創(chuàng)造了機制、方法來測量這些人格力量
For example, an online test- one you would be taking next week- that can help you, as a first step, identify your values in actions: what are your character strengths; what are your virtues; what are you good at; what are you passionate about.
比方說一個網(wǎng)上測試，下周你們會做一個這樣的測試可以作為幫你鑒別你的行為價值觀的第一步：你的人格力量是什么、你的美德是什么、你擅長什么、你熱愛什么、
The thing about character strengths-When they identified them, they made sure that they identified universal characteristics. In other words, it wasn't chosen by you know, male, white academics living in America.
關(guān)于人格力量，他們在鑒別它們時確保了他們所鑒別的是普遍的人格特點，換句話說，并不是特別挑選的例如美國的白人學(xué)術(shù)男性
This was research done all over the world, cross-culturally to identify characters that are identical, whether it was in United States or Europe, Asia- China, Japan as well as the Massai tribe in Kenya and the Inuits in Northern Greenland.
這是在全球范圍進行的研究，跨文化以鑒別那些共有的特征，不管在美國、歐洲、亞洲的中國、日本、甚至包括肯尼亞的馬薩伊部落以及北格陵蘭島的因紐特人
So this was an international research project, because what they thought- if we can find things that are common to all cultures, we will identify what is the part of human nature, as opposed to human nurture.
這是個全球范圍的研究課題，因為他們想——如果我們能找到所有文化都共有的東西就能找到人類本性的東西，而不是后天養(yǎng)成的
And they admit you know that this may change over time; we may become more sophisticated in measuring them.
他們承認(rèn)這是可以隨時間變化的，在測量時我們可能會變得更老練
But as a start, the character strengths and virtues, the values in action, manual and test, is an excellent start, the one what you'll benefit from a great deal, as you will see shortly.
但作為開始，人格力量和美德、行為價值觀、手冊和測試是一個好的開始，你會從中受益良多，很快你們就會明白
