Imagine a very popular person in the social network -- like a party host who has hundreds of friends -- and a misanthrope who has just one friend, and you pick someone at random from the population; they were much more likely to know the party host.
想像有一个在社交网络中非常受欢迎的人物-- 就像一个聚会的主持有几百个朋友-- 而一个憎恨人类的人只有一个朋友， 然后你随机从人群中选个人； 他们更有可能认识聚会的主持。
