Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin. Do you really need to have any friends?
大家好！欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想。你真的需要朋友吗？
Besides me, of course, would it be better to have no friends at all? I sure hope not...
当然，除了我，还是没有朋友比较好？我当然希望不是……
I doubt my animator wouldn't make me anymore if he thought we weren't buddies.
如果我的动画师不把我当兄弟，我猜他不会再制作我了。
But for the sake of science, and risking my very existence, let's find out!
但为了科学，我冒着生命危险，和大家一起来看一下吧！
Due to the research of some awesome Australian scientists, it looks like having friends helps keep you alive longer!
根据澳大利亚科学家的研究，有朋友似乎可以让你长寿！
They found that with older Australians, a strong network of friends increased their chances of survival and living longer lives, even more so than with connections to children and other family.
他们发现，对于年长的澳大利亚人来说，强大的朋友网提高了生存几率，延长了寿命，在这一点上，与孩子和其他家庭相比，朋友的影响更为重大。
This could be due to friends having more influence in your decisions and choices.
这可能是由于朋友对你的决定和选择有更大的影响。
Blood may be thicker than water, but it looks like we still need that wonderful friendship H2O so we can ride the great waterslide of life! Or something.
血或许浓于水，但我们似乎仍然需要那种美好的友谊H2O，这样我们就可以在生活中畅游了。等等。
It also seems that having more friends reduces your chances of making risky decisions in life.拥有更多的朋友可能也会让你没那么容易做出冒险的决定。
Looking at a recent study, researchers found that people tend to seek out money as a way to secure what they want out of the social system.
在最近的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于追求金钱，来得到自己想从社会系统中得到的东西。
They found that feeling lonely or socially rejected caused people to be more likely to choose riskier decisions in a gambling experiment.
他们还发现，孤独感或社会排斥感会导致人们更容易在赌博中做出风险更高的决定。
Now that might work out fine if you get lucky and the risk pays off, but it's probably better to not base financial decisions off your emotions and rather use that sweet noggin of yours!
如果你走运了，风险得到了回报，那就没问题，但做财务决定时最好不要感情用事，要用脑子。
So is there a number for the perfect amount of friends a person should have?
那么，一个人应该拥有多少朋友呢?
It just so happens that there is a widely accepted amount of optimal friends, and it's called the Dunbar Number.
有一个理想的朋友数目得到广泛的承认，那就是邓巴数字。
The theory behind this number is that the average person can only have a maximum of about 150 friends.
这个数字背后的理论是，普通人最多只能有150个朋友。
These are more casual friends who you don't think of or see very much, but you'd still feel comfortable to invite them to a large event like a wedding.
与这些朋友的相处比较随意，你不会经常思念他们，也不会经常见面，但你还是会很乐意邀请他们参加像婚礼这样的大型活动。
The theory is based off looking at the average size of the human brain and comparing it to the size of other primate's brain size and the size of their social groups.
该理论计算出人类大脑的平均大小，并将其与其他灵长类动物的大脑大小和他们社会群体的规模进行比较。
It further states that there are only about 5 close friends that you can have a significant amount of contact with on a weekly basis and then 12-15 people that you are still very close to and trust.
它进一步指出，你每周密切接触的大约只有5个亲密的朋友，你觉得非常亲近，并且可以信任的有12-15人。
Obviously this just applies to humans, because I can be friends with every single one of you wonderful people!
显然，这只适用于人类，因为我可以和你们每一个人成为朋友!
Just make sure you have pizza bagels. So are there ever any times where having friends isn't awesome?
不过你要保证有披萨百吉饼。有没有什么情况下有朋友不是太好的事？
Well, it looks like having too many friends online and through social media might not be the greatest.
在网络上和社交媒体上结识太多朋友可能不是太好。
A study showed that the more online friends a person has, the more stress that they have.
一项研究表明，一个人的网络朋友越多，压力就越大。
The researchers found that the more friends a person has on Facebook, the greater chance they have at offending people when they post things online.
研究人员发现，一个人在Facebook上的朋友越多，他们在网上发布东西时冒犯别人的机会就越大。
This can lead to stress and anxiety, especially when people are virtual friends with their employees and parents.
这可能会导致压力和焦虑，特别是自己的员工和父母也是网友的时候。
While there haven't really been any studies comparing online friends to ones in real life, meeting friends through venues like social media and online gaming are still important due to recent surveys.
虽然在现实生活中没有任何研究将网友与现实中的朋友进行比较，但根据最近的调查，在社交媒体和在线游戏等场所结识朋友仍然很重要。
About 57% of teenagers have met a good friend online and around half of those teenagers made more than 5 new friends online.
约有57%的青少年在网上结识了好朋友，其中约一半的青少年在网上结识了5个以上的新朋友。
Online friends could be there for you in times when you can't meet anyone in person and allow you to interact with people around the world!
网络上的朋友可以在你不能和别人见面的时候，陪伴在你身边，你可以和世界各地的人交流！
Online friends could be awesome. It just might not be the best idea to have too many friends, online or in real life.
网友可能很棒。只是无论是在网上还是现实生活中，有太多的朋友终归不太好。
Do you prefer friends in real life or friends on the internet? Let me know in the comment section below!
你喜欢现实生活中的朋友还是网上的朋友？请在下方评论区告诉我!
