朋友分享了最新交友App的運作機制，在正式赴約之前，先問很多個人背景的問題，細緻的程度有點像是某類型的心理測驗。一下問會不會很在意學經歷，一下問會不會時常感到抑鬱，這些問題彷彿都在往內心裡面挖掘。
A friend shared the working mechanism of the latest dating app. Before officially going for an appointment, a lot of personal background questions are asked. The level of detail is a bit like a certain type of psychological test. One asked whether he cared about learning experience, and another asked whether he often felt depressed. These questions seemed to dig deep into his heart.
我好奇的是，大數據庫如何確認我的抑鬱和另一個人的個性是否可以媒合？它是配一個樂觀，還是配一個社交功能強的？這樣配在一起，算是互補嗎？還是也配一個相類似個性的，那這樣飯局可以吃得下去嗎？這一切的回答模式都是自我表述，而這些表述透過幾個問答、幾個數字，就可以呈現一個人存在的樣貌嗎？對此，我抱持高度懷疑。
What I'm curious about is how a big database can confirm whether my depression and another person's personality can be matched? Is it paired with an optimistic person, or is it paired with a person with strong social function? If they go together like this, are they complementary? Or if there is someone with a similar personality, can we still enjoy the dinner like this? All these answer patterns are self-expressions, and can these expressions present the appearance of a person's existence through a few questions and answers and a few numbers? I highly doubt this.
而且，這當中最關鍵的，應該還是到了現場，比方在同一桌用餐，之間的感覺投不投緣，那好像就是另外一個現場了⋯⋯相聚的現場和手機作答的現場，絕對不是同一個，但我們卻是被一個不在現場的手，操控到另一個現場去了。
Moreover, the most important thing is to arrive at the scene. For example, if we are dining at the same table,whether feeling comfortable or not, it seems to be another scene... The scene where we get together and the scene where we answer questions on the mobile phone are definitely not the same. But we were manipulated to another scene by a hand that was not at the scene.
