1
What is love?
2
Love is a lot of different things to different people.
3
But as a scientist, I think it's basically comes from three different brain circuits.
4
Sex drive, feelings of intense romantic love, and feelings of deep attachment.
5
They're different brain systems.
6
I think the sex drive gets you out there looking for a whole range of partners.
7
I think romantic love enables you to focus your mating energy on just one at a time. And
8
that third brain system of attachment enables you to stick with
9
this person at least long enough to raise a single child through infancy.
10
So most people when they ask about love, they're asking about romantic love.
11
And that has a very particular number of traits.
12
The first thing that happens when you fall in love with somebody is somebody takes on what I call special meaning.
13
Everything about them is special.
14
Their car is different from every other car in the parking lot, the street they live on, the music that they like everything about them becomes special.
15
And then you focus on them.
16
You can list what you don't like about them, but then you sweep that aside and focus on what you do.
17
So love at first sight is actually very easy to explain.
18
You know, I and my colleagues have put over 100 people into a brain scanner using functional MRI.
19
And we found it's a very primitive pathway through the brain.
20
Romantic love is a very primitive, basic pathway through the brain.
21
As a matter of fact, the basic factory that generates dopamine that gives you
22
that feeling lies right near the factories that orchestrate thirst
23
and hunger thirst and hunger keep you alive today romantic love drives you to form a relationship
24
and put your dna into tomorrow so we call it a survival mechanism
25
and it can be triggered instantly you know just like fear can be triggered instantly.
26
Romantic love can be triggered instantly.
27
As you grow up, you build what I call an unconscious love map,
28
an unconscious and conscious list of what you're looking for in a partner.
29
And then when the timing is right,
30
somebody walks in to the grocery store or or the music event,
31
or the museum, or the restaurant, or wherever you are.
32
They fit within your love map.
33
Right age, size, shape, background, come up and smile at you, flirt with you in certain ways.
34
It can trigger that brain circuitry for romantic love and you're going to fall in love immediately.
35
But the timing has to be right.
36
Proximity has to be right.
37
The person has to fit within your love map.
38
And in my case, lighting would be good.
39
But the bottom line is we're built to fall in love.
40
What's interesting is the brain circuitry for attachment takes a lot longer to set in.
41
So you can fall madly in love with somebody before you feel any form of attachment to them.
42
Attachment takes time.
43
You get to get to know the person.
44
You know, you got to know a lot about somebody.
45
What we found in our data, when we put people into the brain scanner who had just fallen happily and madly in love,
46
brain circuitry for romantic love, So easy to see.
47
But the brain region linked with feelings of attachment did not activate at all.
48
It was only after several months, often after about 17 months, when you really get to know somebody, you begin to trust them.
49
You begin to have confidence in them.
50
You respect them and they respect you.
51
They make you laugh.
52
You do things together.
53
You begin to feel that cosmic connection and the attachment is growing then.
54
So romantic love, easy to explain boom, can trigger instantly, just like the fear system or the anger system, but attachment grows.
55
The idea that love is blind, does also have a neural foundation?
56
Yes, there's brain regions right behind your forehead linked with decision-making and planning.
57
And activity in those brain regions begins to shut down.
58
So you can overlook all kinds of things about the person.
59
Love can be blind because those brain centers aren't activating and saying, wait a minute, you know, he's married or wait a minute, he lives in a different country,
60
he won't be back, it'll be a summer fling.
61
Wait a minute.
62
Those brain regions, you know, you're overcome with, oh, he's so cute, he's so funny, he's so nice, he's such a good kisser.
63
And the brain regions for decision making are really sort of shutting down.
64
This is one of the reasons that I tell people, you know, if you fall madly in love with somebody, get to know them for a couple of years before you
65
really settle in with them as you get to know somebody as the attachment grows
66
or as you begin to see real problems in the relationship
67
because activity will come back in those decision-making areas
68
and you can begin to see a little more clearly
69
but love is blind as a matter of fact you know
70
before i put people into the brain scanner i would ask them a lot of questions
71
because these are expensive machines it takes a lot of time got to make sure they're in love
72
and i would ask them what do you not like about him or her.
73
And they could list what they didn't like, but then they swept that aside and just focused on what they did like.
74
Love is blind.
75
Chaucer was right.
76
Thank you.

背景与背景信息

在这段引人入胜的视频中，著名神经生物学家与人类学家海伦·费舍尔（Helen Fisher）探讨了“爱”的概念特别是“初见钟情”这一现象。从科学的角度，费舍尔认为爱情源于三个不同的大脑回路：性驱动、强烈的浪漫爱情以及深厚的依附感。她强调，尽管不同的人对爱的理解各有不同，但这些大脑机制提供了爱的生物学基础，为我们理解人际关系铺平了道路。

日常交流的五个常用短语

  • 初见钟情 (love at first sight) - 这是指在第一次见面时即产生强烈的吸引力。
  • 浪漫爱情 (romantic love) - 费舍尔讨论的爱情类型，强调对单一伴侣的专注。
  • 依附感 (attachment) - 指在了解伴侣后所建立的深厚情感。
  • 无意识的爱情地图 (unconscious love map) - 每个人都在潜意识中建立的寻找伴侣的标准。
  • 生存机制 (survival mechanism) - 浪漫爱情驱动人们建立关系并延续后代的方式。

逐步跟读指南

要有效提高您的英语口语练习能力，特别是使用视频中的概念，以下是一些具体的步骤，帮助您通过模仿和影子跟读（shadow speak）来巩固学习：

  1. 选择短片段：从视频中挑选出一小段，大约30秒到1分钟，内容应涉及“初见钟情”或“无意识的爱情地图”。
  2. 观看并理解：第一次观看时只听，不要看字幕，理解大致内容。
  3. 重复跟读：播放视频的同时，模仿讲话者的语调、节奏和发音。这就是shadowspeak的过程。
  4. 逐句分解：如果在某些句子中遇到困难，可以逐字逐句地分解，再进行练习。
  5. 录音自评：录下自己的声音，与视频对比，评估发音及流利度。在需要的地方进行改进。

通过这样的练习，您不仅能够提升自己的shadow speech技巧，还能更深入地理解语言背后的情感与意义。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
