And so I suddenly realized two very simple things: First, the widowhood effect was not restricted to husbands and wives. And second, it was not restricted to pairs of people. And I started to see the world in a whole new way, like pairs of people connected to each other. And then I realized that these individuals would be connected into foursomes with other pairs of people nearby. And then, in fact, these people were embedded in other sorts of relationships: marriage and spousal and friendship and other sorts of ties. And that, in fact, these connections were vast and that we were all embedded in this broad set of connections with each other. So I started to see the world in a completely new way and I became obsessed with this. I became obsessed with how it might be that we're embedded in these social networks, and how they affect our lives. So, social networks are these intricate things of beauty, and they're so elaborate and so complex and so ubiquitous, in fact, that one has to ask what purpose they serve. Why are we embedded in social networks? I mean, how do they form? How do they operate? And how do they effect us?
我也因此突然意识到了两件很简单的事情。首先,“寡妇效应”不仅仅局限于丈夫和妻子之间。其二,它也不仅仅局限于两个人之间。我开始以全新的视角观察这个世界,将世界看成是成双成对联系在一起的人们。我随后又意识到这些人,如果俩俩相配,便会变成四人小组。事实上,这些人都身处在其他各种人际关系中──婚姻、伴侣、友情、等等。事实上,这些关联是如此之广泛,我们所有人都身处在这个广博的网络中,与彼此相连。所以我开始以全新的角度看待这个世界,并沉迷其中。我为我们是如何陷入这些社会网络中而着迷,也为这些网络是如何影响我们的生活而着迷。这些社会网络是错综的艺术之作,它们是如此的精致、如此复杂、如此无所不在,使得我们不得不询问它们存在的意义是什么。我们为什么会身陷这些社会网络中?它们是如何成立的?是如何工作的?它们是如何影响我们的?
