There's no question that technology is changing the way we court: 可以肯定的一点是，科技正在改变人类的求爱方式：
emailing, texting, emojis to express your emotions, sexting, "liking 1" a photograph, selfies. 电子邮件、短信、表达情感的符号、色情短信、给照片或自拍点赞.
We're seeing new rules and taboos 2 for how to court. 关于如何求爱有了新的规则和禁忌。
But, you know -- is this actually dramatically changing love? 但是，这真的彻底改变了爱吗？
What about the late 1940s, when the automobile 3 became very popular and we suddenly had rolling bedrooms? 来看看上个世纪40年代，那时候汽车刚大行其道，顿时，人们便有了“可移动卧室”。
How about the introduction of the birth control pill? 引进避孕药的时代又是什么样的呢？
Unchained from the great threat of pregnancy 4 and social ruin, women could finally express their primitive 5 and primal 6 sexuality. 因为意外怀孕而导致人生从此惨淡的日子一去不复返，女性终于可以释放她们最原始的性本能。
Even dating sites are not changing love. I'm Chief Scientific Advisor 7 to Match.com, I've been it for 11 years. 就连征婚网站的出现都没有改变爱。我在Match.com作首席科学顾问已经11年了。
I keep telling them and they agree with me, that these are not dating sites, they are introducing sites. 我一直宣导，而工作人员也认同我的意见，即这并不是一个征婚网站，这是个介绍网站。
When you sit down in a bar, in a coffee house, on a park bench, your ancient brain snaps into action like a sleeping cat awakened 8, 当你走进酒吧、咖啡馆，或坐在公园的长椅时，你的大脑会立即开始反应，就像一只沉睡的猫被唤醒一样，
and you smile and laugh and listen and parade the way our ancestors did 100,000 years ago. 你开始微笑、大笑、试着倾听，用那些早在10万年前我们的祖先就使用的方式来炫耀。
We can give you various people -- all the dating sites can -- but the only real algorithm is your own human brain. 我们可以提供各式各样的对象，所有的征婚网站都可以，但唯一真实的算法却是你的大脑。
