In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell argues that "social epidemics" are driven in large part by the actions of a tiny minority of special individuals, often called influentials, who are unusually informed, persuasive, or well connected.
在他的著作《引爆点》中，马尔科姆·格拉德威尔认为，"社会流行"在很大程度上是由一小部分特殊个体的行为驱动的，这些人通常被称为有影响力者，他们往往信息特别灵通、极具说服力或人脉广泛。
In their recent work, however, some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed.
然而，最近一些研究人员的研究结果表明，影响者对社会流行现象的影响远没有人们普遍认为的那么大。
Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who, according to the two-step-flow theory, are supposed to drive social epidemics, by influencing their friends and colleagues directly.
然而，正是这些非名人影响力者，根据两步传播理论，应该通过直接影响他们的朋友和同事来推动社会流行现象。
