I have long felt that romantic love was an addiction. It's got so many of the characteristics of addiction.
我一直觉得爱情是一种瘾。它有很多成瘾的特征。
The focused attention, the obsessive thinking, the absolute craving, the willingness to do dangerous and inappropriate things to win somebody. Somebody's camping in your head.
专注的注意力,强迫性的思考,绝对的渴望,愿意去做危险和不恰当的事情来赢得某人。有人在你脑海里挥之不去。
It is an obsession and we were finally able to prove that romantic love does activate basic brain regions linked with all of the addictions.
这是一种痴迷,我们最终也能够证明,爱情确实会激活大脑中与所有上瘾有关的基本区域。
In fact romantic love triggers brain regions that are regularly triggered for cocaine addiction but for all of the addictions some of these brain circuits become active including romantic love.
事实上,爱情会触发一些大脑区域,这些区域一般在可卡因成瘾时会被触发,但对于所有的成瘾,包括爱情在内,一些大脑回路会变得活跃。
Romantic love can be a wonderful addiction when it's going well and a perfectly horrible addiction when it's going poorly.
爱情在进展顺利时是一种美妙的瘾,在进展不顺时则是一种可怕的瘾。
There are some differences between addiction to a person and addiction to a drug.
对一个人上瘾和对一种毒品上瘾是有区别的。
Generally, you know, when you finally get off drugs you don't kill yourself after you're off the drug.
一般来说,你知道,当你最终戒掉毒品,你不会在戒掉毒品后自杀。
A great many people really suffer after they've been rejected in love.
很多人在失去爱情后都会很痛苦。
The amount of stalking, clinical depression, suicide, homicide and all sorts of other crimes of passion are simply because somebody is addicted, love addicted, to somebody else.
跟踪,临床抑郁症,自杀,杀人以及其他各种激情犯罪非常多,仅仅是因为有人上瘾了,爱上瘾了,对别人上瘾了。
I would even call romantic addiction and attachment addiction as the mothers of all current modern addictions.
我甚至把恋爱成瘾和依恋成瘾称为现代所有成瘾行为的根源。
And in fact I think that the modern addictions like cocaine or heroin or cigarettes or nicotine or things – are hijacking this ancient human brain circuitry for a positive addiction for romantic love.
事实上,我认为现代成瘾,如可卡因、海洛因、香烟、尼古丁或其他东西,劫持了这个古老的人类大脑回路,使其对浪漫爱情产生积极的上瘾。
Not everybody gets addicted to cocaine or to heroin or to cigarettes or even to food or gambling.
不是每个人都对可卡因、海洛因、香烟甚至食物和赌博上瘾。
Everybody at some time in their life has been addicted to love, you know.
你知道,每个人在他们的生活中都有沉溺于爱情的时候。
None of us get out of love alive. We all have tremendous joy and really often sometimes some tremendous sorrow.
没有人能活着走出爱情。我们都有巨大的快乐,有时也会有巨大的悲伤。
