This is a story of how harmless choices can make a harmful world.
+这是一个关于看似无害的选择怎样能导致一个不和谐社会的故事。
- These little cuties are 50% Triangles, 50% Squares, and 100% slightly shapist. - But only slightly! - In fact, every polygon prefers being in a diverse crowd: + 这些萌萌的小图形有一半是三角形，另一半是正方形，但是他们都有点想和自己的同伴在一起的想法。 + 但是仅仅是一点。 + 实际上，他们 更愿意 处在不同种类人群之间：
- You can only move them if they're unhappy with their immediate neighborhood. - Once they're OK where they are, you can't move them until they're unhappy with their neighbors again. - They've got one, simple rule: + 您只可以移动对身边邻居不满意的不高兴的图形。 + 如果他们对他们的周围感到满意， 那么您不能再移动这个图形，除非新的邻居让它感到不满意。 + 它们有一条很简单的规则：
- “I wanna move if less than 1/3 of my neighbors are like me.” + 「如果少于 1/3 的邻居和我一样，那么我想移动到别的地方。」

- Notice how much more segregated things become, when you increase the bias beyond 33%. - What if the threshold was at 50%? - Seems reasonable for a shape to prefer not being in the minority... + 您注意到了嘛，当把偏见调至高于 33% 时图形之间会变得如此分裂。 + 那么把阈值调至 50% 呢？ + 一个图形并不希望它是这个区域的少数派，这点是有理可循的。
