،وە پیاوێکی یابانی دێت بۆ لات و دەڵێت

6
17000
3000
تۆش ئەڵێی ،"باشە، بلۆکەکان ناویان نی یە

Streets have names; blocks are just the

00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."

". بۆشایی بێناون لە نێوان شەقامەکان دا

00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,

28000
3000
بەڵام، ئێستا وایدابنێ لە هەر شوێنێکی جاپان
،لە سەر جادە وەستاویت
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
ڕوو دەکەیتە کەسی تەنیشتت و پێی ئەڵێی
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12

15
42000

00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
.بلۆکەکان ناویان زۆرە
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
.تەنها سەیری نەخشەی گۆگڵ بکە لێرە
.بلۆکی ١٩،١٨،١٧،١٦،١٥،١٤
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
.هەموو ئەم بلۆکانە ناویان هەیە
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
وە هەموو شەقامەکان تەنها
.بۆشایی بێناوی نێوان بلۆکەکانن
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
،تۆش دواتر ئەڵێی،" باشە
"ئەی چۆن ناونیشانی ماڵەوەت ئەزانیت ؟
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
.ئەڵێت " باشە " ئاسانە ، ئەمە ناوچەی هەشتە
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
".ئەوە بلۆکی ١٧ ، خانووی ژمارە یەک
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
ئەڵێیت، " باشە ،بەڵام بە دەوری ئەو هاوسێیانە
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
تێبینیم کرد ژمارەی
خانووەکان ڕیزبەند نین
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
.ئەویش دەڵێ، "بەدڵنیاییەوە ڕیزبەندن
.بەپێی کاتی بنیاتیان ڕیزبەندکراون
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
یەکەمین خانوو لە بلۆکێک دا بنیات
.بنرێ ئەوە خانووی ژمارە یەکە
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
دووەمین خانوو لە بلۆکێک دا بنیات
. بنرێ ئەوە خانووی ژمارە دووە
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
سێهەمیان خانووی ژمارە سێ یە
" .ڕوونە. وە ئاسانە
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
بۆیە، حەزدەکەم هەندێ جار پێویستە
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
بچینە دیوەکەی تری جیهان
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
،بۆ هەست کردن بە خەمڵێنراوەکان
،کە تەنانەت نەماندەزانی هەشن
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
وە هەروەها وایدابنێین
.کە دەشێ دیوەکەی تریان ڕاست بێت
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
بۆ نمونە ، دکتۆرەکانی چینن
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
کە بڕوایان وایە ئیشیان پاراستنی تەندروستیتە
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
،بۆیە، هەر مانگێ تەندروست بیت پارەیان ئەدەیتێ
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
وە هەرکاتێ نەخۆش بوویت پارەیان نادەیتێ
چونکە سەرکەوتوو نەبوون
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
لە ئیشەکانیان ،ئەو کاتە دەوڵەمەند ئەبن
.کە تەندروست بیت، نەک نەخۆش
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(چەپڵە لێدان)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
"لە زۆرینەی میوزیکەکان تەرکیز دەکەینە سەر "یەک
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
ئاماژەی ژەنینی پارجە میوزیکەکە؛
.یەک، دوو، سێ، چوار
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
.بەڵام لە میوزیکی ڕۆئاوای ئەفریقی
ئەو " یەک " ە
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
،کۆتایی ئاماژەیە
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
.وەک خاڵی کۆتایی ڕستە وایە
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
،لەبەرئەوە ، نەک تەنها لە ئاماژەپێکردن
:بەڵکو لە کاتی ژماردنی چەپڵەکانی مۆسیقاش دا
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
دوو ، سێ ، چوار ، یەک
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
.وە بەهەمان شێوە ئەو نەخشەیەش ڕاستە
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(پێکەنین)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
قسەیەک هەیە کە دەڵێ
هەر چیەکی پێت ڕاستە سەبارەت بە هیندستان
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
.پێچەوانەکەشی هەر ڕاستە
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
،TED بۆیە ، هیچکات لە بیری مەکە لە
،یا هەرشوێنێ تر
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
هەر ھزرەکی ژیرانەی هەتە یا بیستووتە
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
.دەشێت پێچەوانەکەی ڕاست بێت
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
