First of all, thank you
for your attention.
for your attention.

首先，谢谢大家的关注。
00:16
There's nothing quite like
being in a room full of people like this,
being in a room full of people like this,
1

3206
还没什么比得上在这个
全是人的屋子里面，
全是人的屋子里面，
00:20
where all of you are giving
your attention to me.
your attention to me.
2
8111
3030
你们所有人都在关注着我。
00:23
It's a powerful feeling, to get attention.
3
11165
3922
获得关注是一种强大的感觉。
00:28
I'm an actor, so I'm a bit
of an expert on, well, nothing, really.
of an expert on, well, nothing, really.
4
16204
5163
我是个演员，所以我对什么都懂得不深，真的。
00:33
(Laughter)
5
21391
1151
（笑声）
00:34
But I do know what it feels like
to get attention --
to get attention --
6
22566
2464
但我倒是知道被关注是什么感觉——
00:37
I've been lucky in my life
7
25054
1295
我这一生足够幸运
00:38
to get a lot more
than my fair share of attention.
than my fair share of attention.
8
26373
2410
得到比我应得的更多的关注。
00:40
And I'm grateful for that,
9
28807
1699
并且我对此充满感激，
00:42
because like I said,
it's a powerful feeling.
it's a powerful feeling.
10
30530
2515
因为如我所说，这是种强大的感觉。
00:46
But there's another powerful feeling
11
34950
2290
但还有另一种强大的感觉
00:49
that I've also been lucky
to experience a lot as an actor.
to experience a lot as an actor.
12
37264
3365
是我作为演员也足够幸运
能体验很多东西。
能体验很多东西。
00:52
And it's funny, it's sort of
the opposite feeling,
the opposite feeling,
13
40653
2357
这点很有趣，这是一种相反的感觉。
00:55
because it doesn't come
from getting attention.
from getting attention.
14
43034
2491
因为它不是来自获得关注。
00:57
It comes from paying attention.
15
45549
2067
它来自予以关注。
01:00
When I'm acting,
16
48831
1770
当我表演时，
01:02
I get so focused that I'm only
paying attention to one thing.
paying attention to one thing.
17
50625
4396
我专注到我只关注一件事情。
01:07
Like when I'm on set
and we're about to shoot
and we're about to shoot
18
55045
3310
就像在片场，我们要开始拍摄的时候，
01:10
and the first AD calls out "Rolling!"
19
58379
2650
第一个词叫做“开机！”
01:13
And then I hear "speed," "marker," "set,"
20
61053
2381
然后我听到“录音常速”，“打板”，“就位”，
01:15
and then the director calls "Action!"
21
63458
2571
再然后导演喊“开拍！”
01:18
I've heard that sequence so many times,
22
66053
2004
我已经听过这些好多次了，
01:20
like, it's become this Pavlovian
magic spell for me.
magic spell for me.
23
68081
3630
对我来说这已经是习以为常的魔咒了。
01:23
"Rolling," "speed," "marker,"
"set" and "action."
"set" and "action."
24
71735
3618
“开机”，“录音常速”，“打板”，
“就位”和“开拍”。
“就位”和“开拍”。
01:27
Something happens to me,
I can't even help it.
I can't even help it.
25
75377
2754
发生在我身上的事情，
我甚至都无法控制。
我甚至都无法控制。
01:30
My attention ...
26
78465
1687
我的注意力……
01:33
narrows.
27
81389
1159
变窄了。
01:34
And everything else in the world,
28
82572
1968
世界上的其他事物，
01:36
anything else that might be bothering me
or might grab my attention,
or might grab my attention,
29
84564
5773
任何可能会打扰我或
吸引我注意力的东西，
吸引我注意力的东西，
01:42
it all goes away, and I'm just ... there.
30
90361
4336
全消失了，我只是……在那里。
01:48
And that feeling, that is what I love,
31
96347
4207
那种感觉，是我所爱的，
01:52
that, to me, is creativity.
32
100578
1347
那，对我而言，就是创造力。
01:53
And that's the biggest reason
I'm so grateful that I get to be an actor.
I'm so grateful that I get to be an actor.
33
101949
3485
这是我非常感激成为演员的最大理由。
01:58
So, there's these two powerful feelings.
34
106276
3236
所以，有两种强大的感觉。
02:01
There's getting attention
and paying attention.
and paying attention.
35
109843
3644
那就是获得关注和给予关注。
02:06
Of course, in the last decade or so,
36
114137
1778
当然，在过去10多年左右，
02:07
new technology has allowed
more and more people
more and more people
37
115939
2217
新技术已经让越来越多的人
02:10
to have this powerful feeling
of getting attention.
of getting attention.
38
118180
3690
能够拥有获得关注的强大感觉。
02:14
For any kind of creative
expression, not just acting.
expression, not just acting.
39
122228
2484
任何类型的创作表达，不仅限于表演。
02:16
It could be writing or photography
or drawing, music -- everything.
or drawing, music -- everything.
40
124736
3590
可以是写作、摄影、绘画、音乐等等。
02:20
The channels of distribution
have been democratized,
have been democratized,
41
128350
3500
分发渠道已经民主化了，
02:23
and that's a good thing.
42
131874
1600
这真是好事情。
02:27
But I do think there's
an unintended consequence
an unintended consequence
43
135430
2761
但我确实认为，对这个星球上任何一个
02:30
for anybody on the planet
with an urge to be creative --
with an urge to be creative --
44
138215
5111
渴望创新的人来说，
都产生了意想不到的后果——
都产生了意想不到的后果——
02:35
myself included,
because I'm not immune to this.
because I'm not immune to this.
45
143350
3332
包括我在内，因为我也不能免疫。
02:39
I think that our creativity
46
147284
3039
我认为我们的创造力
02:42
is becoming more and more
of a means to an end --
of a means to an end --
47
150347
4071
日渐成为达到目的的手段——
02:47
and that end is to get attention.
48
155371
3116
这个目的是获得关注。
02:51
And so I feel compelled to speak up
49
159561
1731
我觉得有必要说出来，
02:53
because in my experience,
50
161316
2729
因为根据我的经验，
02:56
the more I go after that powerful
feeling of paying attention,
feeling of paying attention,
51
164069
3397
我追求给予关注的强烈感觉越多，
02:59
the happier I am.
52
167490
1388
我就越开心。
03:01
But the more I go after
the powerful feeling of getting attention,
the powerful feeling of getting attention,
53
169688
5040
但我追求获得关注的感觉越强，
03:06
the unhappier I am.
54
174752
1267
我就越不开心。
03:08
(One person claps)
55
176331
1158
（一个人鼓掌）
03:09
And -- thanks.
56
177513
2093
并且——谢谢。
03:11
(Laughter)
57
179630
1950
（笑声）
03:13
(Applause)
58
181604
4629
（鼓掌）
03:18
So this is something
that goes way back for me.
that goes way back for me.
59
186257
2979
这对我来说是很久以前的事情了。
03:21
I think the first time I can remember
using my acting to get attention,
using my acting to get attention,
60
189260
5008
我记得我第一次用表演来博取注意，
03:26
I was eight years old at summer camp.
61
194292
2332
是 8 岁时在夏令营的时候。
03:28
And I'd been going on auditions
for about a year by then,
for about a year by then,
62
196950
2675
那时我已经试镜一年了，
03:31
and I'd been lucky to get some small parts
63
199649
2301
我很幸运地得到了一些电视节目
03:33
in TV shows and commercials,
64
201974
1794
和广告中的小角色，
03:35
and I bragged about it a lot,
that summer at camp.
that summer at camp.
65
203792
4847
在夏令营的时候，我经常吹嘘这一点。
03:40
And at first, it worked.
66
208663
2255
起初，这很凑效。
03:42
The other kids gave me
a bunch of extra attention,
a bunch of extra attention,
67
210942
2707
其他孩子给了我很多额外的关注，
03:45
because I had been on "Family Ties."
68
213673
2474
因为我上过《亲情纽带》。
03:48
That's a picture of me on "Family Ties."
69
216506
1927
那是我在《亲情纽带》的照片。
03:50
(Laughter)
70
218457
1023
（笑声）
03:51
Then, the tide turned --
71
219504
1462
然后，风向变了——
03:52
I think I took it too far
with the bragging.
with the bragging.
72
220990
2071
我想可能是我吹牛太过了。
03:55
And then, the other kids
started to make fun of me.
started to make fun of me.
73
223085
3488
然后，其他孩子开始取笑我。
03:59
I remember there was this one girl
I had a crush on, Rocky.
I had a crush on, Rocky.
74
227676
4817
我记得我迷恋过一个女孩，洛基。
04:04
Her name was Rachel, she went by Rocky.
75
232517
2095
她名字叫瑞秋，外号洛基。
04:07
And she was beautiful, and she could sing,
76
235045
2642
她很漂亮，她会唱歌，
04:09
and I was smitten with her,
and I was standing there, bragging.
and I was standing there, bragging.
77
237711
3263
我被她迷住了，我站在那里吹牛。
04:13
And she turned to me
and she called me a show-off.
and she called me a show-off.
78
241720
2603
她转向我，说我是个爱炫耀的人。
04:16
Which I 100 percent deserved.
79
244641
1933
她说的百分百没错。
04:19
But you know, it still really hurt.
80
247149
2333
但你懂的，真是很伤。
04:22
And ever since that summer,
81
250056
2111
从那个夏天开始，
04:24
I've had a certain hesitance
to seek attention for my acting.
to seek attention for my acting.
82
252191
4578
我在为自己的表演寻求关注时
会有所犹豫。
会有所犹豫。
04:29
Sometimes, people would ask me,
83
257517
1764
有时候，人们会问我，
04:31
"Wait a minute,
if you don't like the attention,
if you don't like the attention,
84
259305
2254
“等会，如果你不想被注意，
04:33
then why are you an actor?"
85
261583
1293
那么为什么你要做演员？”
04:34
And I'd be like,
86
262900
1173
我会这样说，
04:36
"Because that's not what acting's about,
man, it's about the art."
man, it's about the art."
87
264097
3175
“因为演戏不是为了这个，
伙计，这是艺术。
伙计，这是艺术。
04:39
And they'd be like, "OK, OK, dude."
88
267296
1686
他们会说：“好吧，好吧，老兄”
04:41
(Laughter)
89
269006
2008
（笑声）
04:43
And then Twitter came out.
90
271038
1733
然后推特出来了。
04:45
And I got totally hooked on it,
just like everybody else,
just like everybody else,
91
273125
2675
就像其他人一样，我完全迷上了，
04:47
which made me into a complete hypocrite.
92
275824
1944
这让我变成了个彻头彻底的伪君子。
04:49
Because at that point,
93
277792
1175
因为那一刻，
04:50
I was absolutely using my acting
to get attention.
to get attention.
94
278991
2579
我绝对是在用我的表演博取关注。
04:53
I mean, what, did I think
I was just getting all these followers
I was just getting all these followers
95
281594
3348
我的意思是，什么，我以为是因为我精彩的推文
04:56
because of my brilliant tweets?
96
284966
2249
才得到这么多粉丝？
04:59
I actually did think that -- I was like --
97
287625
2055
我确实这么想过——我有些——
05:01
(Laughter)
98
289704
1008
（笑声）
05:02
"They don't just like me
because they saw me in 'Batman,'
because they saw me in 'Batman,'
99
290736
2745
“他们不只是因为在《蝙蝠侠》
中看到我才喜欢我，
中看到我才喜欢我，
05:05
they like what I have to say,
I've got a way with words."
I've got a way with words."
100
293505
2770
他们喜欢我说的话，
我的文字很有一套。”
我的文字很有一套。”
05:08
(Laughter)
101
296299
1659
（笑声）
05:09
And then in no time at all,
102
297982
1301
然后很快，
05:11
it started having an impact
on my dearly beloved creative process.
on my dearly beloved creative process.
103
299307
4229
它开始影响我心爱的创作旅程。
05:16
It still does.
104
304504
1173
它仍然是。
05:17
I try not to let it.
105
305701
1532
我试着不让它发生。
05:19
But you know, I'd be sitting there,
like, reading a script.
like, reading a script.
106
307257
3586
但是，我坐在那里，比如阅读脚本时。
05:23
And instead of thinking,
107
311306
1816
可不是这样想，
05:25
"How can I personally identify
with this character?"
with this character?"
108
313146
2476
“我个人如何认同这个角色？”
05:27
Or "How is the audience
going to relate to this story?"
going to relate to this story?"
109
315646
2921
或者“观众将如何看待这个故事？”
05:30
I'm like, "What are people going to say
about this movie on Twitter?"
about this movie on Twitter?"
110
318591
3269
而是有点像这样，“人们在推特上
会怎么评价这部电影？”
会怎么评价这部电影？”
05:33
And "What will I say back
111
321884
1268
以及“我怎么回复才能让
05:35
that will be good and snarky enough
to get a lot of retweets,
to get a lot of retweets,
112
323176
2941
这些话足够好，足够尖锐，
能得到很多转发，
能得到很多转发，
05:38
but not too harsh,
113
326141
1162
但又不会太刻薄，
05:39
because people love to get offended,
and I don't want to get canceled?"
and I don't want to get canceled?"
114
327327
3396
因为人们喜欢被冒犯，
并且我可不想被取消关注？”
并且我可不想被取消关注？”
05:42
These are the thoughts that enter my mind
115
330747
2009
当我本该阅读脚本，
努力做一个演员时，
努力做一个演员时，
05:44
when I'm supposed to be reading a script,
trying to be an artist.
trying to be an artist.
116
332780
3062
全是这些思想涌入我的头脑。
05:47
And I'm not here to tell you
117
335866
1418
我在这里并非告诉你们，
05:49
that technology
is the enemy of creativity.
is the enemy of creativity.
118
337308
2369
技术是创造力的敌人。
05:51
I don't think that.
119
339701
1167
我不这样认为。
05:52
I think tech is just a tool.
120
340892
1364
我认为技术只是个工具。
05:54
It has the potential to foster
unprecedented human creativity.
unprecedented human creativity.
121
342280
3924
它有潜力培育人类
前所未有的创造力。
前所未有的创造力。
05:58
Like, I even started
an online community called HITRECORD,
an online community called HITRECORD,
122
346228
3615
像是，我甚至建立了一个叫做
HITRECORD 的在线社区，
HITRECORD 的在线社区，
06:01
where people all over the world
123
349867
1520
那里有来自全球各地的人
06:03
collaborate on all kinds
of creative projects,
of creative projects,
124
351411
2154
参与各类创意项目的协作，
06:05
so I don't think that social media
or smartphones or any technology
or smartphones or any technology
125
353589
5212
因此我不认为社交媒体
或智能手机或任何技术
或智能手机或任何技术
06:10
is problematic in and of itself.
126
358825
1886
本身就是有问题的。
06:14
But ...
127
362620
1150
但是……
06:16
if we're going to talk
about the perils of creativity
about the perils of creativity
128
364705
2681
如果我们要讨论创造力
06:19
becoming a means to get attention,
129
367410
2317
成为吸引注意力的手段的危险，
06:21
then we have to talk about
the attention-driven business model
the attention-driven business model
130
369751
4341
那么我们就得谈谈今天
最大的社交媒体公司
最大的社交媒体公司
06:26
of today's big social media
companies, right?
companies, right?
131
374116
2113
注意力驱动的商业模型，是吧？
06:28
(Applause)
132
376253
3071
（鼓掌）
06:31
This will be familiar territory
for some of you,
for some of you,
133
379348
2245
这是你们一些人的熟悉领域，
06:33
but it's a really relevant question here:
134
381617
1985
但这确实是一个相关的问题：
06:35
How does a social media platform
135
383626
1594
一个社交媒体平台
06:37
like, for example, Instagram, make money?
136
385244
2600
比如，Instagram，如何赚钱？
06:40
It's not selling
a photo-sharing service --
a photo-sharing service --
137
388649
2090
它不是在售卖照片分享服务——
06:42
that part's free.
138
390763
1173
这部分是免费的。
06:43
So what is it selling?
139
391960
1175
那么它在卖什么？
06:45
It's selling attention.
140
393159
1158
它在卖注意力。
06:46
It's selling the attention
of its users to advertisers.
of its users to advertisers.
141
394341
2624
它把自己用户的注意力卖给广告主。
06:48
And there's a lot of discussion right now
142
396989
1953
今天有很多关于我们给予了
06:50
about how much attention we're all giving
to things like Instagram,
to things like Instagram,
143
398966
3716
Instagram 这样的东西很多注意力的讨论，
06:54
but my question is:
144
402706
1244
但我的问题是：
06:55
How is Instagram getting
so much attention?
so much attention?
145
403974
2654
Instagram 是如何获得
如此多的注意力的？
如此多的注意力的？
06:59
We get it for them.
146
407934
1267
我们给以它们的。
07:02
Anytime somebody posts on Instagram,
147
410141
2936
每次人们在 Instagram 上发照片时，
07:05
they get a certain amount of attention
from their followers,
from their followers,
148
413101
2818
他们从关注者中获得
一定数量的注意力，
一定数量的注意力，
07:07
whether they have a few followers
or a few million followers.
or a few million followers.
149
415943
2864
不管他们有几个粉丝还是几百万粉丝。
07:10
And the more attention you're able to get,
150
418831
3072
你能博取越多的注意力，
07:13
the more attention
Instagram is able to sell.
Instagram is able to sell.
151
421927
2789
Instagram 就能卖出去更多的注意力。
07:16
So it's in Instagram's interest
152
424740
2301
所以对 Instagram 有利的事情是
07:19
for you to get as much
attention as possible.
attention as possible.
153
427065
2488
让你尽可能获得多的关注。
07:22
And so it trains you
to want that attention,
to want that attention,
154
430256
3402
所以它训练你想要获得那种关注，
07:25
to crave it, to feel stressed out
when you're not getting enough of it.
when you're not getting enough of it.
155
433682
3520
渴望关注，当你没有得到
足够关注的时候感到压力。
足够关注的时候感到压力。
07:30
Instagram gets its users addicted
156
438457
3524
Instagram 让它的用户对
07:34
to the powerful feeling
of getting attention.
of getting attention.
157
442005
2713
获得关注的强烈感觉上瘾。
07:38
And I know we all joke, like,
"Oh my God, I'm so addicted to my phone,"
"Oh my God, I'm so addicted to my phone,"
158
446053
3422
我知道我们都开玩笑说，“老天，
我太沉迷于手机了。”
我太沉迷于手机了。”
07:41
but this is a real addiction.
159
449499
1769
但这是个真正的上瘾。
07:43
There's a whole science to it.
160
451292
1467
这是有科学依据的。
07:44
If you're curious, I recommend
the work of Jaron Lanier,
the work of Jaron Lanier,
161
452783
2698
如果你好奇，我推荐杰伦·拉尼尔，
07:47
Tristan Harris, Nir Eyal.
162
455505
2508
特里斯坦·哈里斯，尼尔·埃亚尔的作品。
07:50
But here's what I can tell you.
163
458513
1672
但这是我要告诉你的，
07:52
Being addicted to getting attention
164
460712
2730
对获得关注上瘾
07:55
is just like being addicted
to anything else.
to anything else.
165
463466
2538
就跟对其他东西上瘾一样。
07:58
It's never enough.
166
466028
1200
永远都不够。
07:59
You start out and you're thinking,
167
467845
1739
你一开始会想，
08:01
"If only I had 1,000 followers,
that would feel amazing."
that would feel amazing."
168
469608
4073
“如果我有 1 千粉丝，那一定让我感觉惊奇。”
08:05
But then you're like, "Well,
once I get to 10,000 followers,"
once I get to 10,000 followers,"
169
473705
3380
然后你就会想，“一旦我达到 1 万粉丝，”
08:09
and, "Once I get to 100 --
170
477109
2287
再继续是，“如果我有 100——
08:11
Once I get to a million followers,
then I'll feel amazing."
then I'll feel amazing."
171
479420
5080
一旦我有百万粉丝，那么我一定感觉惊奇。”
08:18
So I have 4.2 million
followers on Twitter --
followers on Twitter --
172
486389
3023
于是我在推特上有 420 万粉丝——
08:21
it's never made me feel amazing.
173
489436
1905
这从没让我感到惊奇。
08:23
I'm not going to tell you
how many I have on Instagram,
how many I have on Instagram,
174
491365
2612
我不打算告诉你们
我在 Instagram 上有多少粉丝，
我在 Instagram 上有多少粉丝，
08:26
because I feel genuine shame
about how low the number is,
about how low the number is,
175
494001
3289
因为我对这个数字如此之低
感到非常羞愧，
感到非常羞愧，
08:29
because I joined Instagram
after "Batman" came out.
after "Batman" came out.
176
497314
2968
因为我是在《蝙蝠侠》上映后
才加入 Instagram 的。
才加入 Instagram 的。
08:32
(Laughter)
177
500306
3468
（笑声）
08:35
And I search other actors,
178
503798
1242
并且我搜索了其他演员，
08:37
and I see that their number
is higher than mine,
is higher than mine,
179
505064
2259
我看到他们的粉丝数比我高，
08:39
and it makes me feel
terrible about myself.
terrible about myself.
180
507347
2762
这让我对自己感觉很糟糕。
08:42
Because the follower count
181
510450
2151
因为粉丝数
08:44
makes everybody feel terrible
about themselves.
about themselves.
182
512625
2397
让人人都对自己感觉糟糕。
08:47
That feeling of inadequacy
is what drives you to post,
is what drives you to post,
183
515046
3118
这种不满足的感觉是促使你发帖的原因，
08:50
so you can get more attention,
184
518188
1524
这样你才能获得更多的注意力，
08:51
and then that attention that you get
is what these companies sell,
is what these companies sell,
185
519736
3125
然后你获得的注意力是这些公司卖的东西，
08:54
that's how they make their money.
186
522885
1828
它们就是这样赚钱的。
08:58
So there is no amount
of attention you can get
of attention you can get
187
526067
3611
所以不存在这样的地方，
09:01
where you feel like you've arrived,
188
529702
2276
在那你会觉得你达到了目标，
09:04
and you're like, "Ah, I'm good now."
189
532002
2818
你会觉得，“啊，我现在就很好。”
09:07
And of course, there are a lot of actors
who are more famous than I am,
who are more famous than I am,
190
535992
3722
当然，也有很多比我出名的演员
09:11
have more followers than I do,
191
539738
1491
粉丝比我多，
09:13
but I bet you they would tell you
the same thing.
the same thing.
192
541253
2348
但我敢打赌他们会告诉你同样的事情。
09:15
If your creativity is driven
by a desire to get attention,
by a desire to get attention,
193
543625
4928
如果你的创作是被
获得关注的欲望驱使，
获得关注的欲望驱使，
09:20
you're never going to be
creatively fulfilled.
creatively fulfilled.
194
548577
2651
你永远不会有创作的成就感。
09:25
But I do have some good news.
195
553123
2532
但我的确有一些好消息。
09:28
There is this other powerful feeling.
196
556457
3007
还有另一种强大的感觉。
09:32
Something else you can do
with your attention
with your attention
197
560290
2160
你可以用你的注意力做其他事情，
09:34
besides letting a giant tech company
control it and sell it.
control it and sell it.
198
562474
2959
除了让大型科技公司
控制和出售它外。
控制和出售它外。
09:38
This is that feeling I was talking about,
199
566347
1960
这正是我在谈论的那种感觉，
09:40
why I love acting so much --
200
568331
1387
我为什么如此喜欢表演——
09:41
it's being able to pay attention
to just one thing.
to just one thing.
201
569742
3890
它能让人把注意力放到一件事情上。
09:47
Turns out there's actually
some science behind this too.
some science behind this too.
202
575331
2705
原来这背后确实也有科学原理支撑。
09:50
Psychologists and neuroscientists --
203
578369
1802
心理学家和神经学家——
09:52
they study a phenomenon they call flow,
204
580195
2420
他们研究了一种他们
称之为“心流”的现象，
称之为“心流”的现象，
09:54
which is this thing that happens
in the human brain
in the human brain
205
582639
2405
这是当人们把注意力只放在
一件事上，比如创意，
一件事上，比如创意，
09:57
when someone pays attention
to just one thing,
to just one thing,
206
585068
2158
并且尽量不被其他事情分心时，
会发生在人类大脑中的现象。
09:59
like something creative,
207
587250
1510
10:00
and manages not to get distracted
by anything else.
by anything else.
208
588784
3412
10:04
And some say the more regularly
you do this, the happier you'll be.
you do this, the happier you'll be.
209
592958
3933
有说法说，你越经常这样做，
你就会越快乐。
你就会越快乐。
10:10
Now I'm not a psychologist
or a neuroscientist.
or a neuroscientist.
210
598498
3032
我现在并不是个心理学家
或神经科学家。
或神经科学家。
10:13
But I can tell you,
for me, that is very true.
for me, that is very true.
211
601554
3133
但我可以告诉你们，对我而言，这非常真实。
10:17
It's not always easy, it's hard.
212
605498
2071
并非那么容易，它很难。
10:19
To really pay attention
like this takes practice,
like this takes practice,
213
607593
2698
像这样真正地集中注意力需要练习，
10:22
everybody does it their own way.
214
610315
1564
每个人都有自己的方法。
10:23
But if there's one thing I can share
215
611903
1893
但有个事情我可以分享，
10:25
that I think helps me focus
and really pay attention, it's this:
and really pay attention, it's this:
216
613820
4452
我认为它帮助了我专注
并真正集中注意力，它是：
并真正集中注意力，它是：
10:30
I try not to see other creative
people as my competitors.
people as my competitors.
217
618958
4702
我尽量不把其他有创造力的人
视为我的竞争对手。
视为我的竞争对手。
10:36
I try to find collaborators.
218
624121
2079
我试着寻找协作者。
10:38
Like, if I'm acting in a scene,
219
626224
2579
比如，我在一个场景中表演，
10:40
if I start seeing the other actors
as my competitors, and I'm like,
as my competitors, and I'm like,
220
628827
3143
如果我开始把其他演员当成
我的竞争对手，我会有些：
我的竞争对手，我会有些：
10:43
"God, they're going to get
more attention than I am,
more attention than I am,
221
631994
2469
“老天，他们获得的关注会超过我，
10:46
people are going to be talking
about their performance more than mine" --
about their performance more than mine" --
222
634487
3457
人们会更多地讨论他们的表现多于我”——
10:49
I've lost my focus.
223
637968
1168
我就失去了专注。
10:51
And I'm probably
going to suck in that scene.
going to suck in that scene.
224
639160
2290
我可能会搞砸那个场景。
10:53
But when I see the other actors
as collaborators,
as collaborators,
225
641474
3905
但当我把其他演员当作协作者时，
10:57
then it becomes almost easy to focus,
226
645403
3750
然后事情就变得更容易专注了，
11:01
because I'm just paying attention to them.
227
649177
2463
因为我只需把注意力放在他们身上。
11:04
And I don't have to think
about what I'm doing --
about what I'm doing --
228
652641
2298
我不需要去想我在做什么——
11:06
I react to what they're doing,
229
654963
1443
我对他们做的做出反应，
11:08
they react to what I'm doing,
230
656430
1416
他们对我做的做出反应，
11:09
and we can kind of
keep each other in it together.
keep each other in it together.
231
657870
2628
我们可以彼此专注。
11:12
But I don't want you to think
it's only actors on a set
it's only actors on a set
232
660522
2644
但我不希望你认为只有片场的演员
11:15
that can collaborate in this way.
233
663190
1612
才能以这种方式合作。
11:16
I could be in whatever
kind of creative situation.
kind of creative situation.
234
664826
2406
我可以在任何创作的情况下这样做。
11:19
It could be professional,
could be just for fun.
could be just for fun.
235
667256
2698
它可以在专业场合，也可以只是为了好玩。
11:22
I could be collaborating with people
I'm not even in the same room with.
I'm not even in the same room with.
236
670636
3865
我甚至可以和不在一个房间里的人合作。
11:26
In fact, some of my favorite
things I've ever made,
things I've ever made,
237
674525
2472
事实上，我做过的一个最爱的事情是
11:29
I made with people
that I never physically met.
that I never physically met.
238
677021
2271
我和从未见过面的人协作。
11:31
And by the way,
239
679316
1166
顺便说一句，
11:32
this, to me, is the beauty
of the internet.
of the internet.
240
680506
2957
对我来说，这就是互联网之美。
11:35
If we could just stop
competing for attention,
competing for attention,
241
683487
3154
如果我们能够停止竞争注意力，
11:38
then the internet becomes
a great place to find collaborators.
a great place to find collaborators.
242
686665
3559
那么互联网就会变成寻找
协作者的伟大地方。
协作者的伟大地方。
11:43
And once I'm collaborating
with other people,
with other people,
243
691411
4626
一旦我和其他人协作，
11:48
whether they're on set,
or online, wherever,
or online, wherever,
244
696061
2568
不管他们在片场，或在线，任何地方，
11:51
that makes it so much easier
for me to find that flow,
for me to find that flow,
245
699553
3349
这让我更容易找到那种心流，
11:54
because we're all just paying attention
246
702926
2373
因为我们都在集中注意力到
11:57
to the one thing
that we're making together.
that we're making together.
247
705323
2757
我们共同做的一件事情上。
12:00
And I fell like I'm part
of something larger than myself,
of something larger than myself,
248
708104
3679
我感到我是比我自己更伟大
的东西的一部分，
的东西的一部分，
12:03
and we all sort of shield each other
249
711807
2269
我们是彼此的盔甲，
12:06
from anything else that might
otherwise grab our attention,
otherwise grab our attention,
250
714100
3342
挡开任何其他可能夺走
我们注意力的东西，
我们注意力的东西，
12:09
and we can all just be there.
251
717466
4474
我们全部人都能真正投入。
12:15
At least that's what works for me.
252
723763
2267
至少这对我有效。
12:19
Sometimes.
253
727486
1285
有时候。
12:20
Sometimes -- it doesn't always work.
254
728795
1727
有时候——它不总是有效。
12:22
Sometimes, I still totally get
wrapped up in that addictive cycle
wrapped up in that addictive cycle
255
730546
3118
有时候，我仍然完全沉浸在想要获取关注的
12:25
of wanting to get attention.
256
733688
1406
上瘾怪圈中。
12:27
I mean, like, even right now,
257
735118
1903
我意思是，即便现在，
12:29
can I honestly say there's not
some part of me here who's like,
some part of me here who's like,
258
737045
4005
我能真诚地说，我身上
没有一丁点这样想：
没有一丁点这样想：
12:33
"Hey, everybody, look at me,
I'm giving a TED Talk!"
I'm giving a TED Talk!"
259
741074
2849
“嘿，你们看，我在做 TED 演讲！”吗？
12:35
(Laughter)
260
743947
1246
（笑声）
12:37
There is -- there's, you know, some part.
261
745217
2915
这是，你懂的，多少有一些。
12:40
But I can also honestly say
262
748629
1817
但我可以真诚地说
12:42
that this whole creative process
of writing and giving this talk,
of writing and giving this talk,
263
750470
3425
这整个写作和演讲的整个创作过程，
12:45
it's been a huge opportunity
for me to focus
for me to focus
264
753919
2614
真是一个巨大的机会让我聚焦于
12:48
and really pay attention to something
I care a lot about.
I care a lot about.
265
756557
3086
以及真正把注意力放在
我非常关心的事情上。
我非常关心的事情上。
12:52
So regardless of how much attention
I do or don't get as a result,
I do or don't get as a result,
266
760802
5595
所以不管我能否从中得到多少关注，
12:58
I'm happy I did it.
267
766421
1267
我很高兴我这样做了。
13:00
And I'm grateful to all of you
for letting me.
for letting me.
268
768236
3860
我很感激你们让我这样做。
13:04
So thank you, that's it,
269
772593
2018
所以谢谢你们，就这样，
13:06
you can give your attention
to someone else now.
to someone else now.
270
774635
2262
现在你可以把注意力放在其他事情上了。
13:08
Thanks again.
271
776921
1150
再次感谢。
13:10
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Actor, filmmaker, entrepreneurAs an actor, filmmaker and founder of the online community HITRECORD, Joseph Gordon-Levitt seeks to inspire creativity through collaboration.
Why you should listen
In Joseph Gordon-Levitt's own words: "I'm lucky. I found a creative outlet young. I started working as an actor when I was six years old. When I was 19, I quit acting to go to college. And a few years later (yes, I dropped out) when I tried to get back into it, nobody would give me a part. That really hurt.
"I realized my old creative outlet wouldn't work anymore, because it depended too much on other people. I had to be able to express myself on my own. And my personal metaphor for this was the REC button. 'HIT RECORD,' I'd say to myself. Push the button. Get started. Make something.
"What started as a private rallying cry became a humble website, which grew into a worldwide community of hundreds of thousands, an Emmy-winning production company, and now a new collaborative media platform. Irony is, today's HITRECORD is not about expressing yourself on your own. What we've found over the years is that the best way for many people to find their creative outlet is through collaborating with others."
