But technology is producing one modern trend that I find particularly important. 但科技正在制造一种当代潮流，我认为它尤为重要。

It's associated with the concept of paradox 1 of choice. 它和选择悖论这一概念相关。
For millions of years, we lived in little hunting and gathering 2 groups. 千万年来，人类都生活在小型狩猎及采集社会。
You didn't have the opportunity to choose between 1,000 people on a dating site. 那时的人没有机会在社交网站上千里挑一选择对象。
In fact, I've been studying this recently, and I actually think there's some sort of sweet spot in the brain; 事实上，从我最近对此的研究来看，我认为大脑中有某种“最佳状态点”。
I don't know what it is, but apparently 3, from reading a lot of the data, we can embrace about five to nine alternatives, 虽然我并不知道在哪儿，但从大量数据来看，人类只能接受大概5~9个选项，
and after that, you get into what academics call "cognitive 4 overload 5," and you don't choose any. 在此之后会变成某些学者称的“认知超载”，结果是不再做出选择。
So I've come to think that due to this cognitive overload, we're ushering 6 in a new form of courtship that I call "slow love." 于是，我想正是由于这种认知超载，我们引进了一种新型求爱方式，我称其为“慢慢爱”。
I arrived at this during my work with Match.com. 这些都是我在Match.com工作时总结出来的。
Every year for the last six years, we've done a study called "Singles in America." 过去六年中我们做了一项研究，名为“美国单身”。
We don't poll the Match population, we poll the American population. 我们民调的对象不仅针对Match.com的会员，而是整个美国人口。
We use 5,000-plus people, a representative sample of Americans based on the US census 7. 我们调查了5000多人，这是基于美国统计局的代表性样本。
We've got data now on over 30,000 people, and every single year, I see some of the same patterns. 目前已收集了超过3万人的数据。每年我都看到同样的模式。
Every single year when I ask the question, over 50 percent of people have had a one-night stand 每年我向他们提问的结果是，超过50%的人有一夜情的经历，
not necessarily last year, but in their lives -- 50 percent have had a friends with benefits during the course of their lives, 并不一定是上一年，而是他们一生中，在他们的有生之年，50%的人曾经和朋友上过床。
and over 50 percent have lived with a person long-term before marrying. 超过50%的人在婚前有过长期同居的经历。
Americans think that this is reckless. I have doubted that for a long time; the patterns are too strong. 美国人认为这是轻率的行为。但我一直不这么认为，毕竟这种模式太普遍。
There's got to be some Darwinian explanation -- Not that many people are crazy. 肯定有某种类似于达尔文生物进化的地方，总不会是那么多人都丧失了理智？
