M: Dr. Andreasen, what about the role of the environment in the creative process?
男：安德瑞森博士，环境在创造过程中的作用如何?
W: Environment does play a role. You see there have been hotbeds of creativity throughout history. For example, the city of Florence during the Renaissance period was home to both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Both men in fact came from families that didn't especially value creativity,yet someone noticed a spark of talent in them and both got the training and financial backing to produce extraordinary pieces of art.
女：环境确实起了作用。你看，历史上一直有培养创造力的温床。例如，文艺复兴时期的佛罗伦萨市是列奥纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗基罗的家。事实上，这两个人都来自于没有特别重视创造力的家庭，但有人发现他们身上有天才的火花，他们都得到了培养和资金支持，以创造出非凡的艺术作品。
M: Uh,since the environment helps in the creative process, are there ways for people to build a better, more creative brain?
男：嗯，既然环境有助于创造过程，有没有办法让人们培育出更好、更有创造力的大脑呢?
W: Well, I suggest that you spend 30 minutes a day on a creativity workout.
女：嗯，我建议你每天花30分钟进行创造力锻炼。
M: Oh, could you say a bit more about that?
男：哦，可以详细解释一下吗?
W: Yes, you do three things. First, explore an unfamiliar area of knowledge. For example, people who use a lot of math on the job should sign up for a painting class.
女：好，你可以做三件事。首先，探索一个陌生的知识领域。例如，在工作中使用大量数学的人应该报名参加绘画课。
M: And the second?
男：第二个呢?
W: The second is, spend time each day thinking. This means that you don't censor your thoughts, but allow your mind to go freely to a problem and see what kind of solutions or ideas come up.
女：第二，每天花时间思考。这意味着你不会修改你的想法，而是让你的大脑自由地去思考一个问题，看看会出现什么样的解决方案或想法。
M: Next thing?
男：接下来呢?
W: That is, practice the art of paying attention. Look for and really observe a person,an object or something in your daily commute that you hadn't noticed before. Try describing or drawing that object in a journal or sketchbook.
女：接下来，练习专注。寻找一个人，一个物体或在你的日常通勤中没有注意到的东西，真正去观察。尝试在日记里描述，或在写生簿中画出那个物体。
M: I hope that your advice will help people to train their brain to be creative. OK, thank you very much Dr. Andreasen for talking on the show.
男：我希望你的建议能帮助人们锻炼大脑，让他们有创造力。好的，非常感谢安德瑞森博士跟我们聊天。
W: Not at all.
女：不客气。
