Point of View 1
This man is holding a piece of fruit in his hand.這個(gè)人手里拿著一些水果。
The piece of fruit is either an orange or an apple.這些水果不是桔子就是蘋果。
We can’t see which it is because we can’t see inside the box.我們看不見哪個(gè)是因?yàn)槲覀兛床灰姾凶永锩妗?/p>
The probability that it is an orange is equal to the probability that it is an apple.它是橘子的概率等于它是蘋果的概率。
It may be an apple, and it may be an orange.它可能是一個(gè)蘋果,也可能是一個(gè)橘子。
It’s got to be one or the other.兩者必有其一。
It can’t be anything else.不可能是別的什么。
Now let’s look at it from the man’s point of view.現(xiàn)在讓我們從男人的角度來(lái)看。
From his point of view, the probabilities are different.在他看來(lái),可能性是不同的。
From his point of view, the probability that he has an orange is 100% or 0%.從他的角度看,他有一個(gè)橙子的概率是100%或者0%
That’s because he knows what he has.那是因?yàn)樗雷约簱碛惺裁础?/p>
For him there is no uncertainty.對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)沒有不確定性。
If he has an orange, the probability is 100%.如果他有一個(gè)橘子,概率是100%
If he doesn’t have an orange, the probability is 0%.如果沒有橙子,概率是0%
He either has it or he doesn’t.他要么有,要么沒有。
From our point of view, the probability that he has an orange is 50%.從我們的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看,他有一個(gè)橘子的概率是50%
From his point of view, the probability that he has an orange is 100% or 0%.從他的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看,他有一個(gè)橙子的概率是100%或0%
So the probability depends on your point of view.所以概率取決于你的觀點(diǎn)。
Point of View 2
People see things from different points of view.人們從不同的角度看問(wèn)題。
This often leads to arguments between people.這經(jīng)常導(dǎo)致人們之間的爭(zhēng)論。
