TED演讲:科学可以回答道德问题(15)

 　　And if the results come out that actually they do, 如果结论是她们真的快乐

　　are you prepared to shift your instinctive¹ current judgment² on some of these issues? 你准备好改变你现在在这些议题上的直观判断了吗？

　　Well yeah, modulo one obvious fact, 举个真实案例

　　that you can love someone in the context of a truly delusional³ belief system. 就算在一个虚假的道德体系里，你还是可以爱人

　　So, you can say like, "Because I knew my gay son was going to go to hell if he found a boyfriend, 你会说，“因为我爱我的儿子，我不想他因为他的男朋友下地狱

　　I chopped his head off. And that was the most compassionate⁴ thing I could do."  于是我把他的头砍下来，这就是我对他的爱

　　If you get all those parts aligned⁵, yes I think you could probably be feeling the emotion of love. 如果你能找到一个均衡，是的你仍然可以感觉到一种爱

　　But again, then we have to talk about well-being⁶ in a larger context. 但是我们也必须把幸福放到更大的背景下来谈

　　It's all of us in this together,  这是我们共同的功课

　　not one man feeling ecstasy⁷ and then blowing himself up on a bus. 不是一个男人进入一种狂喜状态就可以在巴士上把自己炸掉

　　Sam, this is a conversation I would actually love to continue for hours. 我很希望这个对话可以继续几个小时

　　We don't have that, but maybe another time. Thank you for coming to TED⁸.  虽然现在不行，或许在不远的将来。谢谢你来TED演讲

　　Really an honor. Thank you. 是我的荣幸，谢谢你。
