Not only did they identified the character strengths, they also created mechanisms, ways, means of measuring these character strengths.
他们不仅定义了这些人格力量，还创造了机制、方法来测量这些人格力量
For example, an online test- one you would be taking next week- that can help you, as a first step, identify your values in actions: what are your character strengths; what are your virtues; what are you good at; what are you passionate about.
比方说一个网上测试，下周你们会做一个这样的测试可以作为帮你鉴别你的行为价值观的第一步：你的人格力量是什么、你的美德是什么、你擅长什么、你热爱什么、
The thing about character strengths-When they identified them, they made sure that they identified universal characteristics. In other words, it wasn't chosen by you know, male, white academics living in America.
关于人格力量，他们在鉴别它们时确保了他们所鉴别的是普遍的人格特点，换句话说，并不是特别挑选的例如美国的白人学术男性
This was research done all over the world, cross-culturally to identify characters that are identical, whether it was in United States or Europe, Asia- China, Japan as well as the Massai tribe in Kenya and the Inuits in Northern Greenland.
这是在全球范围进行的研究，跨文化以鉴别那些共有的特征，不管在美国、欧洲、亚洲的中国、日本、甚至包括肯尼亚的马萨伊部落以及北格陵兰岛的因纽特人
So this was an international research project, because what they thought- if we can find things that are common to all cultures, we will identify what is the part of human nature, as opposed to human nurture.
这是个全球范围的研究课题，因为他们想——如果我们能找到所有文化都共有的东西就能找到人类本性的东西，而不是后天养成的
And they admit you know that this may change over time; we may become more sophisticated in measuring them.
他们承认这是可以随时间变化的，在测量时我们可能会变得更老练
But as a start, the character strengths and virtues, the values in action, manual and test, is an excellent start, the one what you'll benefit from a great deal, as you will see shortly.
但作为开始，人格力量和美德、行为价值观、手册和测试是一个好的开始，你会从中受益良多，很快你们就会明白
