There is an idea that’s simple yet powerful. It’s called The Fun Theory, and it states that things are better if they are more fun. Why? Because people are more willing to do the right thing if they can get some fun out of it.
有一個簡單卻很有力量的想法，叫作「樂趣理論」（The Fun Theory）。它主張如果事情更有趣，就會變得更好。為什麼呢？因為如果人們能從中獲得樂趣，他們就更願意去做正確的事情。
Volkswagen announced The Fun Theory in 2009 and since then has organized contests for inventions that can prove The Fun Theory. One winner was the Speed Camera Lottery, designed to get people to obey the speed limit.
福斯汽車在 2009 年提出了「樂趣理論」，並且自那時起舉辦了各種比賽，徵求能夠證明此理論的發明。其中一個獲獎作品是「超速攝影機樂透」，用來鼓勵人們遵守速限。
It involves a camera that not only issues speeding tickets to cars that drive too fast, but also notices cars that come through at or under the speed limit. It then automatically issues a lottery ticket to those who obeyed the speed limit, giving them a chance to win some money. Best of all, the lottery is funded by money collected from speeding fines.
這項設計使用一台攝影機，不僅會對超速的車輛開罰單，還會偵測以符合或低於速限行駛的車輛，並自動發放樂透彩券給遵守速限的人，讓他們有機會贏得獎金。最棒的是，這個樂透的獎金來自於超速罰款的收入。
Another winner of The Fun Theory contest is The World’s Deepest Trash Bin. It’s a trash bin with a sound effect—when someone throws trash in, the bin makes the sound of a heavy object falling through the air and crashing to the ground.
另一個「樂趣理論」比賽的獲獎作品是「世界最深的垃圾桶」。這是一個帶有音效的垃圾桶，當有人丟垃圾進去時，它會發出像重物從空中墜落並撞擊地面的聲音。
The results of these inventions prove that The Fun Theory can indeed be used to change people’s behavior. The Speed Camera Lottery led to a 22% decrease in people’s average driving speed, and the World’s Deepest Trash Bin collected more than seventy kilograms of garbage in one day. As The Fun Theory shows, things are better when they’re more fun.
這些發明的成果證明，「樂趣理論」確實能改變人們的行為。「超速攝影機樂透」讓人們的平均車速下降了 22%，而「世界最深的垃圾桶」一天內就收集了超過 70 公斤的垃圾。正如「樂趣理論」所示，當事情更有趣時，它們就會變得更好。
