This tendency of feeling good in the moment and allowing that burst of inspiration to positively color your future projections is called affective forecasting.

这种一时的自我感觉良好导致了灵感的爆发，让我们将未来预测地无比积极，这便叫做情感预测。

And the technical term for this, by the way, is " affective forecasting." Again, this is Dan Gilbert's work and the idea is we are bad at affective forecasting.

顺便说一下， 这种情况的技术术语是“情感预测” 。再说一次，这是丹·吉尔伯特的工作， 其想法是我们不擅长情感预测。

That's Dr. Wilson again. We heard him at the very start of this episode. He's a social psychologist who studies happiness. With his collaborator Dan Gilbert, they coined the term " affective forecasting" .

丽贝卡：又是威尔逊博士。我们在这一集的一开始就听到了他的声音。他是一位研究幸福的社会心理学家。他们与他的合作者丹吉尔伯特一起创造了“情感预测”一词。

And they're driven by this affective forecast that, you know, my world will crumble and come to an end if I don't get tenure and have to leave, whereas I'll be on Easy Street forever if I do.

他们被这种情感预测所驱使，你知道，如果我没有获得终身职位而不得不离开， 我的世界将会崩溃并走向终结，而如果我获得了， 我将永远在 Easy Street 上。
