哈佛大学教授解读幸福是什么HarvardProfessor(5)

Shaikitoff 问：“当我感到悲伤、沮丧和困惑时，我如何心怀感激？”回到你的问题，我如何心怀感激？
You decide to be grateful is the bottom line.
你认为感恩是底线。
The brain kind of is in three parts.
大脑由三部分组成。
It"s not exactly this way, but just for reference, there"s the ancient part that has all your motor functions and breathing and brain stem and spinal column.
并不完全是这样，但只是作为参考，有一个古老的部分，控制你所有的运动功能、呼吸、脑干和脊柱。
Then you got the middle part, your your limbic system that takes signals from the outside world and takes a kind of machine language and turns it into feelings that happen to you.
然后是中间的部分，你的边缘系统，它接收来自外界的信号，用一种机器语言将其转化为发生在你身上的感觉。
And then from there it delivers those signals into the neocortex of the brain, the wrinkly part on the outside of your brain, the most evolved and amazingly human of which is the prefrontal cortex, a bumper of brain tissue right behind your forehead, and it gets these emotions, and you decide what they mean and what you"re supposed to do.
然后从那里它将这些信号传递到大脑的新皮层，大脑外部的皱纹部分，人类进化程度最高且最令人惊讶的是前额叶皮层，你前额后面的一块脑组织，它控制情绪，你来决定它们意味着什么以及你应该做什么。
