[02:39.69]Summary and Discussion
[02:42.98]3.3 Discussion
[02:46.97]2.The conversation you're about to hear is slightly different
[02:53.17]from the text printed below.
[02:56.95]As you listen the first time,
[03:00.85]underline the places where what you hear
[03:05.44]differs from what's printed in your book.
[03:09.65]K:Hi,Xiao Li.Are you busy?
[03:13.25]XL:Just thinking...
[03:15.94]K:So do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
[03:20.05]I have a paper to write about bilingualism
[03:24.25]and since you speak Chinese and English
[03:28.64]I was hoping you could help me.
[03:31.93]XL:Sure,I'll try.
[03:34.94]K:Great,thanks.
[03:37.84]So my first question is:What language do you think in?
[03:42.72]XL:Actually,I don't think I think in language at all.
[03:47.74]I mean,sometimes I recall things in words
[03:53.22]or imagine words
[03:56.51]for instance when I'm making a shopping list
[04:00.20]or memorizing something But that's not really thinking
[04:05.89]that's just talking to myself
[04:09.60]Real thinking isn't formulated in words at all
[04:14.41]It's just...concepts.I think.
[04:18.69]K:What do you mean?How can you think without any words?
[04:23.99]What good is an idea that isn't in language
[04:28.30]XL:Well,sooner or later you can put your concepts into words
[04:33.79]but that isn't how real thinking starts
[04:37.86]And I wish more people knew that.
[04:41.57]Too many people think that thinking has to be in words,
[04:46.67]so they don't pay any attention to all the great ideas
[04:51.68]they're having all the time without words.
[04:56.07]K:You mean...We're all having brilliant ideas without noticing them
[05:02.18]XL:Yeah!We're all geniuses sometimes,
[05:06.78]but for some reason our definition of genius
[05:11.28]is that it's somebody else
[05:14.78]not me But I think we all have flashes of genius
[05:20.78]we just don't believe in them.
[05:23.97]K:Wait a minute.You can't mean we're literally all geniuses,
[05:29.87]like Einstein or Hawking!
[05:33.37]XL:Why not?Do you really think Einstein was nonstop brilliant
[05:39.38]And I bet Stephen Hawking thinks plenty of silly
[05:44.37]dumb things every day.
[05:47.87]K:Just like me?
[05:50.67]XL:Just like you
[05:53.38]Part IV
