There are probably just as many lies going around now as there ever were, but these days they're traveling at the speed of light
現(xiàn)在流傳的謠言可能和以前一樣多，但現(xiàn)如今謠言以光速傳播，
and with the help of an engine for repetition that works on a scale unheard of in human history.
還得到了一種重復(fù)引擎的助力，而這種引擎的重復(fù)規(guī)模在人類歷史上是前所未有的。
The lies stick. People are still sending around that talk, saying it was written by Kurt Vonnegut.
謊言沒有停止。人們?nèi)栽趥鞑ツ瞧恼拢f它是庫爾特·馮內(nèi)古特寫的。
All right. So big deal, you may be thinking.
好吧。你們可能會(huì)想，那又怎樣。
You may be thinking it's just afew jokes about youth and beauty and trivial things.
你們可能會(huì)認(rèn)為這只是有關(guān)青春、美麗和一些瑣事的玩笑。
But think about it. It could be selling you anything.
但你們再想想。這可能會(huì)告訴你們一些東西。
It could be a cult religion that could separate you from friends and family or a quack medicine that could leave you paralyzed,
這可能是一種邪教，使你們和家人、朋友分離，也可能是一種假藥，使你們?nèi)戆c瘓，
or bogus political information that could decide an election.
這也可能是政治假消息，能夠決定一場選舉。
Being able to know what's true and what's a lie is a lot harder to do now, harder than ever before.
現(xiàn)在要分辨什么是實(shí)話、什么是謊言更難了，比以前任何時(shí)候都難。
And so now, more than ever, you need the wisdom of a trusted partner or a friend or a mentor, somebody who can remind you of what counts.
所以現(xiàn)在，你們比任何時(shí)候都更需要一個(gè)信得過的搭檔、朋友或?qū)煟硞€(gè)能提醒你們什么東西重要的人，給你們智慧。
