12.16 哈佛大学幸福课（5）

Or any of the classes you've taken here. You'll be introduced here to studies, to research, to rigorous academic work.

或者你们在这上过的任何课程一样。我将向你们介绍相关知识，调查研究和严谨的学术作品。



You'll be writing a paper, an academic paper. You'll be taking exams. Just like every other class.

你们要撰写论文，学术论文。像其他课程一样，你们也得参加考试。



But then it will also be taught at the second level, which is for every paper that you'll read, every paper that you'll write,

而教学内容的另一部分是：你们读每一篇论文，写每一篇论文时，

you'll always be thinking, "Ok, how can I take these ideas and apply them to my life? How can I apply them to my relationship? How can I apply them to my community?"

你们要时刻想着：我如何才能把这些理念运用到生活中去，运用到交往中去，运用到我的社交圈里去？



Two levels. The academic. Applied.

就是这两个部分：学术与应用

I did not just introduce whether it's in the readings or in lectures, ideas just because they are interesting for the sake of the idea. It’s always an idea that is both rigorous and can be applied.

无论是在论文中还是在讲座中提到，我不会因为某个理论有趣而去介绍它，而是因为这个理论严谨且能被应用。



Just a few words about housekeeping. Some of the questions that I’ve already received from you before the class started.

再说几句题外话。在上课之前，你们之中，有人向我提了一些问题。
