1·We'll come back to these issues in a minute, but I'd like to say something about the theories of Robin Dunbar—an anthropologist at Oxford University.
我们稍后会回到这些议题上，但我想谈谈罗宾·邓巴的理论——他是牛津大学的人类学家。
2·Dunbar is not against online relationships, but he maintains that face-to-face interaction is essential for the initial creation of true friendship and connections.
邓巴并不反对线上关系，但他坚持认为，面对面的交流对于最初建立真正的友谊和联系至关重要。
3·Although Mr Dunbar tries valiantly to enliven his story (traders are dubbed the men who love to win, one investor is called Dusseldorf’s Dr Frankenstein), the task defeats him.
尽管邓巴先生英勇地尝试着使他的故事活泼生动（交易商们被称作热爱成功的人，一个投资者被称为杜塞尔多夫的作法自弊之人），这一任务还是使他败下阵来。
4·Extrapolating from the brain sizes and social networks of apes, Dr Dunbar suggested that the size of the human brain allows stable networks of about 148.
据类人猿的大脑尺寸及其社交网络推断，邓巴博士认为人类大脑的尺寸约能容许维持148人的稳定人际关系网。
5·However a real surprise occurs in some recent data provided by Suzanne Shultz and Robin Dunbar at Oxford University.
然而，一个真正的惊喜出现在牛津大学的苏珊妮·舒尔茨和罗宾·邓巴最近所提供的一些数据中。
