TED:为什么大多数人不喜欢自己声音的录音(三)

And our voice is indistinguishable from how other people see us. It is a mask that we wear in society. But our relationship with our own voice is far from obvious. We rarely use our voice for ourselves; we use it as a gift to give to others. It is how we touch each other. It's a dialectical grooming. 我们的声音和我们给别人的印象是紧密联系在一起的。这是我们在社会上戴的一个面具。但是我们和自己声音的关系并不是显而易见的。我们很少把声音用在自己身上；我们把声音当作一个给别人的礼物。这就是我们接触对方的方式。这是一种辩证的梳理。 But what do we think about our own voice? So please raise your hand if you don't like the sound of your voice when you hear it on a recording machine. 但是我们是怎么看待自己的声音的呢？如果你不喜欢录音带里自己的声音，请举手。 Yeah, thank you, indeed, most people report not liking the sound of their voice recording. So what does that mean? Let's try to understand that in the next 10 minutes. I'm a researcher at the MIT Media Lab, 谢谢，的确，很多人反应说不喜欢他们声音的录音。那这意味着什么呢？让我们在接下来的十分钟内去尝试着去搞懂这个问题。我是MIT媒体实验室的一名研究人员， part of the Opera of the Future group, and my research focuses on the relationship people have with their own voice and with the voices of others. I study what we can learn from listening to voices, from the various fields, from neurology to biology, cognitive sciences, linguistics. 也是“未来歌剧”组的一员，我们的研究专注在人们和自己的声音，以及他人声音的关系上。我的研究是关于我们可以在不同的领域从聆听中学到什么，从神经学到生物学，认知科学，语言学。
