displaying psychological symptoms I would like to discuss today. 已经表现出了精神病症状，我今天就想聊聊这个。
And I thought you might like to know who you are. 我想你们都很想知道，到底是谁有精神病。
But instead of pointing at you, which would be gratuitous 2 and intrusive 3, 我不会直接指出来，因为那样很没必要，也不礼貌，

which is part of a larger personality science which spans the full spectrum 4, from neurons to narratives 5. 它属于人格科学的范畴，人格科学的研究领域跨度很大，从神经元到叙述学。
And what we try to do, in our own way, is to make sense of how each of us - each of you 而我们的研究方向是用我们的方式来弄清楚，为什么我们每一个人——在座的每一位
is in certain respects, like all other people, like some other people and like no other person. 在某些方面跟其他所有人都一样，或者只跟部分人一样，或者跟谁都不一样。
