📖Day17 人类简史笔记17

1⃣️Friends giving advice often tell each other, ‘Follow your heart.’ But the heart is a double agent that usually takes its instructions from the dominant myths of the day, and the very recommendation to ‘Follow your heart’ was implanted in our minds by a combination of nineteenth-century Romantic myths and twentieth-century consumerist myths. 

朋友们给建议时往往会互相告诉对方:“跟随你的心”。但是这里的“心”也是个双面间谍，常常听从时代主流虚构的故事。“跟随你的心”这一提议也 不过是 19 世纪浪漫主义和 20 世纪消费主义的结合，再植入我们的脑海里罢了。

2⃣️Romanticism, which encourages variety, meshes perfectly with consumerism. Their marriage has given birth to the infinite ‘market of experiences’, on which the modern tourism industry is founded. The tourism industry does not sell flight tickets and hotel bedrooms. It sells experience.

浪漫主义鼓励多样性，与消费主义完美结合在。它们的结合孕育了无 限的“经历市场”，现代旅游业就是在这个市场上得以建立的。旅游业销售的不 是机票和酒店客房，而是经历。

3⃣️If an ability, approach, or type of activity is hard-wired into the brain, it is a basic one and cannot be changed. 

4⃣️a change of such magnitude 重大改变

5⃣️The hall was sumptuously decorated. 大厅装饰得富丽堂皇。
