How Your Childhood Toys Tell Your Life Story | Chris Byrne @TED #toys

When you think about the toys that you loved as a child, you didn't think about, why do I love this? You just did, right? Perhaps you watch the TV show Blues Clues, or you played with your Tonka truck, cuddled up to a care bear, or played that iconic game, Hungry Hungry Hippos. We grow up and we lose sight of that playful person that was inside us. And I think that person is still there. And when we embrace the sense of play and adventure, we can have joy every day.

当你回忆自己童年时喜爱的玩具时，你并不会去想我为什么喜欢这个？你只是单纯地喜欢，对吧？也许你看过《蓝色小提示》这部儿童电视节目，或者玩过你的顿卡玩具卡车，抱着可爱的小熊玩偶，或是玩过经典的《饥饿的河马》游戏。我们长大后，往往会忘记那个热爱玩耍的自己。但我相信那份童心仍然存在。当我们重新拥抱玩耍和冒险的精神时，每天都能感受到快乐。

Now, you may have heard of the pioneering educator, Maria Montessori. Maria and her colleagues popularized the idea that play is the work of a child. And the goal of that work is to emerge into society as a completely integrated and participating adult. So once again, look back and think about how much of who you are today began in the playroom.

现在，你可能听说过具有开创性教育家的玛丽亚·蒙特梭利。玛丽亚和她的同事推广了这样一个理念：游戏是孩子的工作。工作的目标是让孩子成长为一个完全融入社会并积极参与的成年人。所以，再次回顾一下，想想你今天的很多特质是如何从游戏室开始的。

It's a little like Harry Potter, right? But we're the wizards, we're the wizards, and our powerful spells are the stories that we tell and the actions that we take. We become what we play. Best of all, you never have to stop. Because when we play, we get to experience the joy of new discoveries, have fun, and embrace the adventure.

这有点像《哈利·波特》，对吧？不过我们就是那个法师，而我们强大的魔法就是我们讲述的故事和我们采取的行动。我们会变成自己所扮演的角色。最棒的是，你永远不需要停下来。因为当我们在游戏中，我们能体验到新的发现带来的快乐，享受乐趣，并迎接冒险旅程。
