In our own time, some evolutionary psychologists have suggested that these six emotions--happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise--are expressed by everyone across the globe in exactly the same way, and therefore represent the building blocks of our entire emotional lives.
在我們自己的時(shí)代,一些演化心理學(xué)家指出,這六種情緒---快樂、悲傷、恐懼、反感、生氣、驚訝---全世界所有人表達(dá)這些情緒的方式完全一樣,因此,這幾種基本情緒就代表了堆疊出我們整個(gè)情緒生活的幾種積木。
Well, if you look at an emotion like this, then it looks like a simple reflex:it's triggered by an external predicament, it's hardwired, it's there to protect us from harm.
如果你們用這種方式來看情緒,情緒看起來就會(huì)像簡(jiǎn)單的反射:它是由外在困境所觸發(fā),它是與生俱來的,它是用來保護(hù)我們不受傷害的。
