[中文]

大家好，这里是 BBC Learning English 的《六分钟英语》。

我是尼尔。

我是贝丝。

尼尔，当你和朋友聊天时，你通常会…

…对世界上发生的事情持相同还是不同的观点？

哦……这倒是很有意思。

我想我的观点可能相当相似，

这也算是我们成为朋友的原因之一。

啊！其实我们可能会自认为

对别人的信仰持包容和宽容的态度，

但对许多人来说，

与持有截然不同观点的人沟通会很困难。

而且，这种缺乏接纳的现象可能因为我们使用社交媒体而愈发加剧。

比如，算法往往会向我们展示我们已经喜欢并赞同的内容。

当然，我们不可能总是和所有人达成一致。

我们每个人在宗教、政治等议题上都有自己的看法和信念。

on topics like religion and politics.

但有人担心，

当意见不合时，人们越来越倾向于使用暴力，

而不是和平地共同解决分歧。

那么，我们的社会是不是正在变得更加分裂？

“分裂”指的是彼此意见不合，

并且与他人疏远，无法团结在一起。

我们该如何更加接纳并开放地对待他人的观点呢？

这就是本期节目要讨论的内容，

像往常一样，我们还会学习一些实用的新词汇和短语。

记住，你可以在我们的网站

bbclearningenglish.com 上找到本节目所有的词汇。

但首先，我有一个问题要问你，贝丝。

根据最近的一项伊普索斯调查，

有多少比例的英国人口认为社会已经分裂？

选项是：a) 20%，b) 50%，c) 80%？

哦……我猜是50%。

好了，答案我们稍后在节目中揭晓。

保罗·多兰（Paul Dolan），

伦敦政治经济学院行为科学教授，

认为我们应该学习如何控制情绪，

在意见不合时保持开放的讨论。

下面，他将在BBC世界广播电台的节目《All in the Mind》中

进一步解释该如何做到。

一般来说，如果我们冷静下来，

就能更好地做决定，也更有礼貌。

当我们情绪激动时，需要大约15分钟让杏仁核平复，

但实际上，几秒钟后它就可以开始平静下来，对吧？

深吸一口气，你会感到更平静。

并不是说保持永远平静就是好事。

愤怒可以成为动力，

而积极的情绪实际上对我们非常有益。

通常情况下，人们在情绪更好时

会做出更好的决定，更具吸引力，也更开放。

但很多时候，这只是一种让自己冷静下来，

把环境中的“热度”降低的做法。

保罗认为，当我们情绪激动时（这里指愤怒或强烈的分歧），

应该给自己留出时间冷静下来。

他指出，情绪激动时，

大脑中负责情感的杏仁核，

需要大约15分钟才能平复。

虽然愤怒可以成为动力，

让我们更有决心、更有热情——

保罗说，当情绪平稳、环境“热度”降低时，

人们会更愿意开放表达。

这里的“热度”指的是像愤怒这样的强烈情绪。

现在，最近的一项约会实验

调查了人们在交友资料中对理想伴侣的描述。

研究人员发现，许多单身人士会写明

对伴侣外貌、身高、投票的政党等细节，

但也有很多人表示，

他们希望伴侣是

思想开放、能够容忍不同观点的。

如果你思想开放，就愿意倾听并考虑新想法。

然而，研究者得出结论，

虽然人们希望伴侣思想开放、宽容，

但他们自己并不想太过开放。

那么，我们该如何更加开放，去了解那些我们可能意见不合的人呢？

that we might disagree with?

这里再次请到保罗·多兰，他在BBC世界广播电台《All in the Mind》节目中接受主持人克劳迪娅·哈蒙德的采访。

BBC World Service's All in the Mind.

我想一个显而易见的答案是：走出线上。

也就是说，多出去走走，结识新朋友，

因为政治学家认为这就是“灵丹妙药”。

你会发现，和不同背景的人相处得越多，

越能意识到他们并没有想象中那么不同，

于是变得更宽容、更开放。

所以，和不同的人在一起，我认为

这可能是我们解决这个问题的方式。

保罗说，政治学家认为

“灵丹妙药”就是离线，去结识新朋友。

“灵丹妙药”指的是对复杂问题的简单解决办法。

通过与持不同观点和信仰的人相识，

你会越来越明白他们其实并没有那么不同。

这会让你更加包容，

并促成一个更少分裂的社会。

说到分裂，尼尔，你是不是该透露一下

你之前的问题的答案了？

是的，我问道：

根据最近伊普索斯的调查，

有多少比例的英国人认为社会已经分裂？

according to a recent poll by the organisation Ipsos?

我说是50%。对吗？

不对。

实际上是80%。

哇，真是很多！

好的，让我们回顾本节目学到的词汇，

从 “divided”（分裂，指意见不合、不能团结）开始。

“aroused”意为情绪激动，例如愤怒。

“motivational”表示能够激励我们，使我们更有决心和热情。

“heat”指强烈的情绪，如愤怒。

如果你思想开放，就愿意倾听并考虑新想法。

最后，“silver bullet”指的是对复杂问题的简易解决方案。

to a complicated problem.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

I'm Neil.

And I'm Beth.

Neil, when you're chatting with friends, do you usually have

the same or different opinion on things going on in the world?

Ooh... well, that's interesting.

I think I probably have quite similar opinions

and that's, kind of, why we're friends.

Ah! Well, we might like to believe that we're accepting

and tolerant of others' beliefs,

but for many people it can be difficult to communicate

with people who have very different opinions to our own.

And this lack of acceptance could be increasing with our use of social media.

For example, algorithms tend to show us what we already like and agree with.

Of course, we can't always agree with everyone else.

We all have personal opinions and beliefs

on topics like religion and politics.

But some worry that it's becoming more and more common to react

with violence when they disagree,

than to solve disagreements together peacefully.

So, are we becoming a more divided society?

Divided means in disagreement with

and separated from others – to not be together.

And how can we be more accepting and open to the opinions of others?

That's what we'll be discussing in this programme

and, as usual, we'll be learning some useful new words and phrases.

Remember, you can find all the vocabulary from this programme

on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.

But first I have a question for you, Beth.

According to a recent Ipsos poll,

what percentage of the British population believes society is divided?

Is it: a) 20%, b) 50%, or c) 80%?

Ooh... I'm going to say 50%.

Well, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.

Paul Dolan, professor of behavioural science

at the London School of Economics,

thinks we should learn how to control our emotions

and be open to discussions when we disagree.

Here, he explains more about how to do this

on BBC World Service programme All in the Mind:

Generally, we're going to be making better decisions,

and more respectfully, if we calm down.

It takes 15 minutes when you're proper aroused for the amygdala to calm down,

but within a few seconds it can start calming down, right?

You take a deep breath and you start feeling calmer.

It's not to say that always being calm is good.

Anger can be motivational and positive emotions

actually can be very good for us.

Generally, people make better decisions

and are more engaging and more open when they're happier,

but much of the time it will be just a case of calming down to try

and take some of the heat out of the environment.

Paul thinks we should take time to calm down when we feel aroused,

which here means to feel anger or strong disagreement.

He said it takes 15 minutes for the amygdala,

the part of the brain that experiences emotions,

to calm down when we're aroused.

While anger can be motivational –

make us more determined and enthusiastic –

Paul says people can speak more openly when they're happier,

when heat is taken out of the environment.

Heat in this context means an intense feeling like anger.

Now, one recent dating experiment looked into what people say they want

in an ideal partner according to their dating profile.

Researchers found that many single people included details

on things like what they want their partner to look like,

their height, the political party they vote for,

but many also say they want a partner who is

open-minded and tolerant of different views.

If you are open-minded, you're willing to listen to and consider new ideas.

However, the researchers concluded

that while people want a partner to be open-minded and tolerant,

they don't want to be very open-minded themselves.

So, how can we be more open to getting to know people

that we might disagree with?

Here's Paul Dolan again, talking to presenter Claudia Hammond of

BBC World Service's All in the Mind.

So, I guess one very obvious answer is to get offline.

I mean, to actually just get out more and meet people

because it's what political scientists think is the silver bullet.

You know, the more you're around people that are different,

the more you realise that actually they're not that different,

and you become more tolerant and open-minded.

So, being around people that are different – I think

that's probably the way that we're going to tackle that problem.

Paul says political scientists think

the silver bullet is to get offline and meet people.

A silver bullet means a simple solution to a complicated problem.

By meeting people who have different opinions and beliefs to you,

the more you'll realise they're not that different to you at all.

And that could make you more accepting and lead

to a society that is less divided.

And speaking of divided, isn't it time you revealed

the answer to your question, Neil?

Yes, I asked:

What percentage of the British population

believes society is divided,

according to a recent poll by the organisation Ipsos?

I said 50%. Was that correct?

It was not correct.

It is in fact 80%.

Wow, that's a lot!

OK. Let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme,

starting with divided, which means in disagreement – not together.

Aroused means feel a strong emotion like anger.

If something is motivational, it makes us determined and enthusiastic.

Heat means an intense feeling, like anger.

If you are open-minded, you are willing to listen to and consider new ideas.

And finally, a silver bullet means a simple solution

to a complicated problem.

Once again, our six minutes are up.

If you've enjoyed this programme, why not try practising the new vocabulary

you've learnt with our worksheet?

It's available to download now from our website, bbclearningenglish.com,

and you could also try out the quiz while you're there.

Goodbye for now. Goodbye!
