I call upon you, oh Alice, to enlighten us with more information about the Greek Muses.
我召唤你，给我们更多关于希腊缪斯的信息。
Alright then. So let’s listen to Angie Hobbs instead.She’s Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy, University of Sheffield here in the UK – and here she is now, talking about what the Greek Muses symbolized.
好的。我们听听Angie Hobbs的讲述。她是英国谢菲尔德大学哲学的大众理解专业的教授。她会讲述希腊缪斯所代表的东西。
We’ve seen that the Muses were connected to running water, to springs, to fountains, fluidity.So if you’re musing, you are letting your mind wander,you’re opening yourself up to new influences and new ideas, and not thinking in too structured a way.
我们看到缪斯与流水、泉水、喷泉、液体联系紧密。所以如果你在沉思，你是让你的思想徜徉，你解放自身的思想，让其接受新的影响、新的观点，而不是墨守成规。
Musing, letting your mind wander, thinking in a fluid, unstructured way – that all sounds very pleasant– maybe I should have another go at writing.
沉思，让思想去徜徉，以流动、自由的方式去思考，听上去很不错，也许我有写作的其他思路了。
Well, according to research, some people are better at mind wandering and opening themselves up to new ideas than others. Their minds work differently – they have more dopamine in the thalamus region of the brain.
根据研究，一些人会比其他人更擅长思想徜徉，解放思想接受新观点。他们的大脑运作方式与别人不同，他们大脑丘脑区域含有很多的多巴胺。
The thalamus controls consciousness, sleep and the senses and dopamine is the feel-good chemical in the brain. Is that right?
丘脑控制意识、睡眠、感觉，多巴胺是脑中分泌使人快乐的化学物质。是吗？
Yes, and having more dopamine in the thalamus enables some people to see the world in a different way– and they express this creatively – through science, music, the arts.Now, before you start musing on how much dopamine you have in your brain, Neil,perhaps you can tell us the answer to today’s quiz question?
丘脑中含有更多的多巴胺，使得一些人以不同的方式看待世界。他们会通过科学、音乐和艺术更加富有创造力的表达观点。在你沉思自己脑中有多少多巴胺之前，你可以告诉我们今天问题的答案吗？
I asked: How does author of the Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown, deal with writer’s block? Does he…a) hang upside down from the ceiling in gravity boots?b) clean his 6-bedroom house from top to bottom with a toothbrush?Or c) run a half-marathon listening to opera music by Richard Wagner?
我问你：《达芬奇密码》的作者丹布朗是怎么处理文思枯竭的状况的？a)穿着倒吊靴倒吊在天花板上?b)从上到下用牙刷清理六间房间的屋子？c)边听理查德瓦格纳的音乐边跑半程马拉松？
And I said c) run a half-marathon listening to opera music by Richard Wagner.
我选的是c)边听理查德瓦格纳的音乐边跑半程马拉松。
And you were wrong, Alice! The answer is a) hang upside down from the ceiling in gravity boots.
你回答错了！答案是a)穿着倒吊靴倒吊在天花板上。
Really?
真的吗？
Yes. I expect all that increased blood flow to the brain is helpful in clearing writer’s block.
没错。我觉得更多血液流向大脑有助于改善文思枯竭的状况。
Yes. Good plan.OK, here are the words we learned today.
