Harvard’s Nicholas Christakis says that when you take a bird’s eye view of humans through the prism of social networks, the picture of both the individual and the group changes.

Harvard 대학의 Nicholas Christakis는 소셜 네트워크라는 프리즘을 통해 인간을 조감하면 개인과 집단 모두 그 상이 바뀐다고 말한다. 

 

He draws the analogy with graphite and diamonds.

그는 흑연과 다이아몬드에서 유사점을 끌어낸다. 

 

Both materials are made of carbon atoms but it is the way these individual atoms are connected that determines why one material is soft and dark and the other is hard and clear.

두 물질 모두 탄소 원자로 이루어져 있지만, 왜 한 물질은 부드럽고 검으며 다른 한 물질은 단단하고 투명한지를 결정하는 것은 바로 이 개별 원자들이 연결되는 방식이다. 

 

The layered lattice arrangement of graphite carbon atoms means that it shears easily, whereas the highly interconnected arrangement of diamond carbon atoms means that it is as hard as—well, diamonds, of course.

흑연 탄소 원자의 층을 이룬 격자 배열은 그것이 쉽게 부러진다는 것을 의미하며, 반면에 다이아몬드 탄소 원자의 고도로 상호 연결된 배열은 그것이 물론, 그러니까, 다이아몬드만큼 단단하다는 것을 의미한다. 

 

Therefore, when it comes to carbon atoms, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

그러므로 탄소 원자의 경우 전체는 그것의 부분의 합보다 더 강하다. 

 

Similarly, understanding the individual self only really makes sense in terms of the groups to which they are connected.

마찬가지로 개별 자아를 이해하는 것은 그것이 연결된 집단의 관점에서 실제로 의미가 있을 뿐이다.  

 

 

To extend the carbon metaphor, when we are well connected, we are more resilient because there is safety and strength in numbers.

탄소의 비유를 확장하자면, 우리는 잘 연결되어 있을 때 더 회복력이 있는데, 그 이유는 다수일 때 안전(함)과 힘이 있기 때문이다. 

 

Alone, we are more vulnerable and weaker.

혼자 있으면 우리는 더 공격받기 쉽고 더 약하다.
