M: Dr. Andreasen, what about the role of the environment in the creative process?
男：安德瑞森博士，環境在創造過程中的作用如何?
W: Environment does play a role. You see there have been hotbeds of creativity throughout history. For example, the city of Florence during the Renaissance period was home to both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Both men in fact came from families that didn't especially value creativity,yet someone noticed a spark of talent in them and both got the training and financial backing to produce extraordinary pieces of art.
女：環境確實起了作用。你看，歷史上一直有培養創造力的溫床。例如，文藝復興時期的佛羅倫薩市是列奧納多·達·芬奇和米開朗基羅的家。事實上，這兩個人都來自于沒有特別重視創造力的家庭，但有人發現他們身上有天才的火花，他們都得到了培養和資金支持，以創造出非凡的藝術作品。
M: Uh,since the environment helps in the creative process, are there ways for people to build a better, more creative brain?
男：嗯，既然環境有助于創造過程，有沒有辦法讓人們培育出更好、更有創造力的大腦呢?
W: Well, I suggest that you spend 30 minutes a day on a creativity workout.
女：嗯，我建議你每天花30分鐘進行創造力鍛煉。
M: Oh, could you say a bit more about that?
男：哦，可以詳細解釋一下嗎?
W: Yes, you do three things. First, explore an unfamiliar area of knowledge. For example, people who use a lot of math on the job should sign up for a painting class.
女：好，你可以做三件事。首先，探索一個陌生的知識領域。例如，在工作中使用大量數學的人應該報名參加繪畫課。
M: And the second?
男：第二個呢?
W: The second is, spend time each day thinking. This means that you don't censor your thoughts, but allow your mind to go freely to a problem and see what kind of solutions or ideas come up.
女：第二，每天花時間思考。這意味著你不會修改你的想法，而是讓你的大腦自由地去思考一個問題，看看會出現什么樣的解決方案或想法。
M: Next thing?
男：接下來呢?
W: That is, practice the art of paying attention. Look for and really observe a person,an object or something in your daily commute that you hadn't noticed before. Try describing or drawing that object in a journal or sketchbook.
女：接下來，練習專注。尋找一個人，一個物體或在你的日常通勤中沒有注意到的東西，真正去觀察。嘗試在日記里描述，或在寫生簿中畫出那個物體。
M: I hope that your advice will help people to train their brain to be creative. OK, thank you very much Dr. Andreasen for talking on the show.
男：我希望你的建議能幫助人們鍛煉大腦，讓他們有創造力。好的，非常感謝安德瑞森博士跟我們聊天。
W: Not at all.
女：不客氣。
