男性的大腦和女性的大腦之間的差異

英文原文

"We're gonna start discussing men's brains, women's brains, and how they're very different from each other. Now I wanna start with men's brains. Alright?

Men's brains are very unique. Men's brains are made up of little boxes, and we have a box for everything. We've got a box for the car, we've got a box for the money, we've got a box for the job, we've got a box for you, we've got a box for the kids, we've got a box for your mother somewhere in the basement. We've got boxes everywhere, and the rule is: the boxes don't touch.

When a man discusses a particular subject, we go to that particular box, we pull that box out, we open the box, we discuss only what is in that box, alright? And then we close the box and put it away, being very, very careful not to touch any other boxes.

Now women's brains are very, very different from men's brains. Women's brains are made up of a big ball of wire, and everything is connected to everything. The money's connected to the car, the car's connected to your job, and the kids are connected to your mother, and everything is connected to everything! It's like the internet superhighway, ok? And it's all driven by energy that we call emotion. It's one of the reasons why women tend to remember everything. Because if you take an event and you connect it to an emotion, it burns in your memory and you can remember it forever. The same thing happens for men, it just doesn't happen very often because, quite frankly, we don't care.

Now, men, we have a box in our brain that most women are not aware of. This particular box has nothing in it. It's true! In fact, we call it the 'Nothing Box'. And of all the boxes a man has in his brain, the Nothing Box is our favorite box! If a man has the chance, he'll go to his Nothing Box every time. That's why a man can do something seemingly completely brain-dead for hours on end. You know, like fishing.

The University of Pennsylvania a couple of years ago did a study and discovered that men have the ability to think about absolutely nothing and still breathe. Women can't do it, their minds never stop, and they don't understand the Nothing Box, and it drives them crazy. Because nothing drives a woman more crazy or makes you feel more irritated than to witness a man doing nothing!"

中文翻譯

「我們要開始探討男人和大腦與女人的大腦，以及它們之間有多麼不同。我想先從男人的大腦開始，好嗎？

男人的大腦非常特別。男人的大腦是由一個個『小盒子』組成的，每件事都有專屬的盒子。我們有放車子的盒子、放錢的盒子、放工作的盒子、放妳的盒子、放小孩的盒子，還有放在地下室某個角落、放妳母親的盒子。我們到處都是盒子，而且核心規則是：盒子之間絕不互相碰觸。

當一個男人在討論某個特定話題時，我們會走到那個特定的盒子前，把它抽出來、打開它，只討論盒子裡裝的東西。討論完後，再把盒子蓋好放回去，並且非常、非常小心不碰到任何其他盒子。

而女人的大腦與男人截然不同。女人的大腦是一團巨大的『電線球』，所有東西全都串聯在一起！錢連著車子，車子連著妳的工作，小孩連著妳媽媽，萬事萬物都彼此相連！這就像網路高速公路一樣，而且全都是由一種叫做『情緒』的能量所驅動。這也是為什麼女人往往什麼事情都記得，因為只要把事件和情緒連結在一起，它就會烙印在記憶中一輩子不忘。男人也會這樣，只是頻率不高，因為坦白說——我們根本不在乎。

此外，男人大腦裡還有一個大多數女人都不知道的盒子。這個盒子裡面什麼都沒有（Nothing）。是真的！事實上，我們稱它為**『放空盒／什麼都沒有盒（Nothing Box）』**。在男人大腦所有的盒子裡，這個『放空盒』是我們的最愛！只要有機會，男人每一次都會躲進這個放空盒裡。這就是為什麼男人可以做好幾個小時看起來完全腦死的事情，比如——釣魚。

賓州大學幾年前做過一項研究，發現男人真的有能力在『大腦一片空白、什麼都不想』的狀態下繼續呼吸。女人做不到這點，妳們的思緒永遠停不下來，所以妳們無法理解『放空盒』，這讓女人抓狂。因為沒有什麼比親眼看見一個男人在那裡『什麼事都沒做／腦袋空空』更讓女人抓狂或煩躁的了！」
