I should tell you that when I was asked to be here,
0
0
3000
我要告訴你們，當我知道被邀請來此時
00:15
I thought to myself that well, it's TED.
1
3000
3000
我對自己說，這是TED
00:18
And these TEDsters are -- you know, as innocent as that name sounds --
2
6000
5000
這名字也許聽起來很單純，但這些TEDsters
00:23
these are the philanthropists and artists and scientists who sort of shape our world.
3
11000
7000
是影響世界的慈善家、藝術家及科學家
00:30
And what could I possibly have to say that would be distinguished enough
4
18000
3000
而我能夠在這裡說些什麼與眾不同的東西
00:33
to justify my participation in something like that?
5
21000
2000
來證明我的參加是有意義的
00:35
And so I thought perhaps a really civilized-sounding British accent
6
23000
4000
所以我想也許一口有教養的純正英國腔
00:39
might help things a bit.
7
27000
2000
可以幫我的忙
00:41
And then I thought no, no. I should just get up there and be myself
8
29000
4000
但一轉念，我想，不，不對。我應該上台做我自己
00:45
and just talk the way I really talk
9
33000
2000
用自己平常的腔調
00:47
because, after all, this is the great unveiling.
10
35000
5000
因為，畢竟這是盛大的開幕呀
00:52
And so I thought I'd come up here and unveil my real voice to you.
11
40000
3000
所以我想我該在你們面前揭開我真正的聲音
00:55
Although many of you already know that I do speak the Queen's English
12
43000
4000
雖然你們當中很多人知道我會說道地的女王式英語
00:59
because I am from Queens, New York.
13
47000
2000
因為我是從紐約的皇后區來的
01:01
(Laughter)
14
49000
1000
（笑聲）
01:02
But the theme of this session, of course, is invention.
15
50000
4000
當然這次大會的主題是關於創造
01:06
And while I don't have any patents that I'm aware of,
16
54000
6000
如果我沒記錯的話，我從來沒有擁有過任何一項專利
01:12
you will be meeting a few of my inventions today.
17
60000
3000
但今天諸位將會見識我所創造的一些東西
01:15
I suppose it's fair to say
18
63000
2000
我想這樣說好了,
01:17
that I am interested in the invention of self or selves.
19
65000
5000
我喜歡像是發掘另一個或者多個新的自我
01:22
We're all born into certain circumstances with particular physical traits,
20
70000
4000
在各種環境下長大的我們在在都擁有不同的人格特質
01:26
unique developmental experiences, geographical and historical contexts.
21
74000
5000
擁有獨特的成長經驗、生長環境與歷史脈絡
01:31
But then what?
22
79000
2000
接著呢?
01:33
To what extent do we self-construct, do we self-invent?
23
81000
4000
我們在自我建構、自我成長的過程中，都達到了甚麼樣的程度?
01:37
How do we self-identify and how mutable is that identity?
24
85000
5000
我們自我認同的角色是甚麼，而這角色又是如何的多變?
01:42
Like, what if one could be anyone at any time?
25
90000
3000
舉例來說，如果一個人能夠在任何時間扮轉變為另一個角色?
01:45
Well my characters, like the ones in my shows,
26
93000
4000
關於以上這些問題，
01:49
allow me to play with the spaces between those questions.
27
97000
4000
在我表演裡的那些夥伴們都有一些看法。
01:53
And so I've brought a couple of them with me.
28
101000
2000
所以我帶了一些夥伴過來。
01:55
And well, they're very excited.
29
103000
4000
當然~他們都非常的興奮可以來到這邊
01:59
What I should tell you --
30
107000
3000
我~
02:02
what I should tell you is that they've each prepared their own little TED talks.
31
110000
4000
我跟各位說明一下，他們每一位都準備了一小段演講。
02:06
So feel free to think of this as Sarah University.
32
114000
3000
所以各位現在可以把這邊想像成像是一所莎拉大學一樣。
02:09
(Laughter)
33
117000
3000
(笑聲~)
02:12
Okay. Okay. Oh, well.
34
120000
4000
Ok~等等
02:16
Oh, wonderful.
35
124000
2000
好了~太棒了~~~
02:18
Good evening everybody.
36
126000
2000
各位晚安~
02:20
Thank you so very much for having me here today.
37
128000
3000
今天很開心可以在這邊見到大家
02:23
Ah, thank you very much. My name is Lorraine Levine.
38
131000
4000
恩~謝謝各位。我的名子是 "洛琳 萊文"
02:27
Oh my! There's so many of you.
39
135000
3000
噢~天呀!! 今天來了好多人呀~
02:30
Hi sweetheart. Okay.
40
138000
2000
哈嘍~親愛的....
02:32
(Laughter)
41
140000
2000
(大笑聲~)
02:34
Anyway, I am here because of a young girl, Sarah Jones.
42
142000
4000
今天呢~今天是一位年輕的女孩邀請我來的，她就是"莎拉 瓊斯"
02:38
She's a very nice, young black girl.
43
146000
3000
她是一位非常和善，而且年輕的黑皮膚的女孩。
02:41
Well you know, she calls herself black --
44
149000
3000
各位知道的，她總說她自己是黑皮膚，
02:44
she's really more like a caramel color if you look at her.
45
152000
3000
但如果你靠近一點看的話，她的皮膚其實比較像是焦糖那種顏色。
02:47
But anyway.
46
155000
2000
但無論如何~
02:49
(Laughter)
47
157000
1000
(大笑聲~)
02:50
She has me here because she puts me in her show,
48
158000
3000
她邀請我來在她的"一個女人的脫口秀"的節目中，
02:53
what she calls her one-woman show.
49
161000
2000
擔任一個角色。
02:55
And you know what that means, of course.
50
163000
2000
你能想像的，這代表說
02:57
That means she takes the credit and then makes us come out here and do all the work.
51
165000
5000
雖然她掛名演出，但其實我們才是真正上場表演的人。
03:02
But I don't mind.
52
170000
2000
但我覺得沒有關係。
03:04
Frankly, I'm kvelling just to be here
53
172000
2000
而且老實說，對於可以來到這邊，我感到非常的開心而且驕傲，
03:06
with all the luminaries you have attending something like this, you know.
54
174000
4000
可以跟那些你們曾經參加過的有名的TED Talk演說家一樣受邀到這邊來。
03:10
Really, it's amazing.
55
178000
2000
真的令人感覺非常棒。
03:12
Not only, of course, the scientists and all the wonderful giants of the industries
56
180000
5000
受邀來到這邊的人，不只包含了那些科學家與事業上獲得極大成功的人
03:17
but the celebrities.
57
185000
2000
也包含了許多名人。
03:19
There are so many celebrities running around here.
58
187000
3000
你知道嗎，有很多名人在這邊出沒唷。
03:22
I saw -- Glenn Close I saw earlier. I love her.
59
190000
4000
我剛剛遇到了"葛倫 克蘿絲"。我好喜歡他唷。
03:26
And she was getting a yogurt in the Google cafe.
60
194000
3000
她剛好在谷歌咖啡裡面買優格。
03:29
Isn't that adorable?
61
197000
3000
你們看，是不是很棒呀?
03:32
(Laughter)
62
200000
2000
(大笑聲~)
03:34
So many others you see, they're just wonderful.
63
202000
3000
還有其他好多人，她們都非常棒。
03:37
It's lovely to know they're concerned, you know.
64
205000
2000
很高興知道她們都很關注這邊討論的話題。
03:39
And -- oh, I saw Goldie Hawn.
65
207000
3000
噢~還有，我剛也看到了"歌蒂 韓"
03:42
Oh, Goldie Hawn. I love her, too; she's wonderful. Yeah.
66
210000
4000
"歌蒂 韓" 她也好棒。我也很喜歡她。
03:46
You know, she's only half Jewish.
67
214000
2000
而且，她只有一半的猶太血統。
03:48
Did you know that about her?
68
216000
2000
妳知道這件事情嗎?
03:50
Yeah. But even so, a wonderful talent. (Laughter)
69
218000
3000
對的，即使如此，她還是一個有天賦的人。
03:53
And I -- you know, when I saw her, such a wonderful feeling.
70
221000
4000
而我~~看到她的時候~感覺很棒唷。
03:57
Yeah, she's lovely.
71
225000
2000
~她感覺很可愛。
03:59
But anyway, I should have started by saying just how lucky I feel.
72
227000
4000
好的。我現在就開始來跟大家說說，我覺得自己有多幸運吧。
04:03
It's such an eye-opening experience to be here.
73
231000
3000
來到這邊真的是令我大開眼界呢。
04:06
You're all so responsible for this world that we live in today.
74
234000
4000
這邊的每一個人都努力的為這個世界盡自己的責任。
04:10
You know, I couldn't have dreamed of such a thing as a young girl.
75
238000
3000
在我年輕的時候，我根本不可能有這樣的想法。
04:13
And you've all made these advancements happen in such a short time --
76
241000
6000
但是各位在這麼短的時間內就達到了這麼多的進展。
04:19
you're all so young.
77
247000
2000
而且各位都是這麼的年輕。
04:21
You know, your parents must be very proud.
78
249000
2000
我想，妳們的父母一定相當以你們為榮。
04:23
But I -- I also appreciate the diversity that you have here.
79
251000
5000
而且，我也注意到這邊很多元化唷。
04:28
I noticed it's very multicultural.
80
256000
2000
我留意到這邊有好多來自不同文化的人
04:30
You know, when you're standing up here, you can see all the different people.
81
258000
3000
當你站到台上來的時候，可以看到好多各式各樣的人。
04:33
It's like a rainbow.
82
261000
2000
好像彩虹一樣。
04:35
It's okay to say rainbow. Yeah.
83
263000
3000
咦~說彩虹應該可以吧(註:彩虹旗象徵同志)
04:38
I just -- I can't keep up with whether you can say, you know, the different things.
84
266000
4000
有時候我會搞不清楚哪些說法洽當，哪些說法不洽當。
04:42
What are you allowed to say or not say?
85
270000
2000
你們有些人可能覺得這種說法不太好
04:44
I just -- I don't want to offend anybody. You know.
86
272000
3000
其實，我並沒有刻意要冒犯誰，好嗎?
04:47
But anyway, you know,
87
275000
3000
我來到這邊，
04:50
I just think that to be here with all of you
88
278000
4000
只是想要跟各位有成就的年輕人，
04:54
accomplished young people --
89
282000
3000
一起參予這個盛會，
04:57
literally, some of you, the architects building our brighter future.
90
285000
5000
你們很多人就像建築師一樣，一直在為了我們更好的未來而打拼。
05:02
You know, it's heartening to me.
91
290000
3000
這讓我得到相當大的鼓舞。
05:05
Even though, quite frankly, some of your presentations are horrifying,
92
293000
3000
即使如此，老實說，有些人作的演講，其實是令人震驚的，
05:08
absolutely horrifying.
93
296000
2000
相當震驚。
05:10
It's true. It's true.
94
298000
2000
這絕對是真的。
05:12
You know, between the environmental degradation
95
300000
3000
就像你們所說的有關環境惡化
05:15
and the crashing of the world markets you're talking about.
96
303000
3000
以及全球市場崩潰等等的話題。
05:18
And of course, we know it's all because of the -- all the ...
97
306000
6000
當然壓~我們都知道這些現象的原因都是因為那些~
05:24
Well, I don't know how else to say it to you, so I'll just say it my way:
98
312000
3000
好吧~因為我想不到其他的說法，所以我用我自己的母語說了，
05:27
the ganeyvish schticklich coming from the governments and the, you know,
99
315000
3000
都是因為那些政府的鬼鬼祟祟的勾當(此處為德國俚語)
05:30
the bankers and the Wall Street. You know it.
100
318000
3000
還有那些來自華爾街的銀行家
05:33
Anyway.
101
321000
2000
好吧。
05:35
(Laughter)
102
323000
1000
(大笑聲~)
05:36
The point is, I'm happy somebody has practical ideas
103
324000
3000
重點是，我很開心有人提供了一些實用的想法，
05:39
to get us out of this mess.
104
327000
2000
來解救這場混亂。
05:41
So I salute each of you and your stellar achievements.
105
329000
3000
所以，我在這邊要向各位偉大且傑出的成就致敬。
05:44
Thank you for all that you do.
106
332000
3000
多謝各位所作的一切。
05:47
And congratulations on being such big makhers that you've become TED meisters.
107
335000
7000
而且恭喜各位來這邊成為TED的一份子。
05:54
So, happy continued success.
108
342000
2000
祝各位可以繼續邁向成功的道路。
05:56
Congratulations. Mazel tov.
109
344000
3000
恭喜各位。
05:59
(Applause)
110
347000
5000
(掌聲)
06:04
Hi. Hi.
111
352000
3000
大家好。
06:07
Thank you everybody.
112
355000
2000
多謝各位。
06:09
Sorry, this is such a wonderful opportunity and everything, to be here right now.
113
357000
3000
好的，來到這個舞台上真的是一個很棒的機會。
06:12
My name is Noraida. And I'm just --
114
360000
2000
我的名字叫做"諾拉達"。 我~
06:14
I'm so thrilled to be part of like your TED conference
115
362000
2000
我真的很高興可以來這邊與你們
06:16
that you're doing and everything like that.
116
364000
3000
一起參與像TED的這樣類似的盛會
06:19
I am Dominican-American.
117
367000
2000
我是多明尼加裔的美國人
06:21
Actually, you could say I grew up in the capital of Dominican Republic,
118
369000
2000
其實，我是在多明尼加共和國的首都長大的
06:23
otherwise known as Washington Heights in New York City.
119
371000
3000
也就是妳們所知的"紐約市"裡面的"華盛頓高地"(美裔多明尼加人的聚集地)
06:26
But I don't know if there's any other Dominican people here,
120
374000
3000
我不知道是不是還有其他多明尼加裔的人在此地，
06:29
but I know that Juan Enriquez, he was here yesterday.
121
377000
3000
但我知道"璜 安利奎斯"他昨天有到這裡來
06:32
And I think he's Mexican, so that's --
122
380000
2000
雖然我想他是墨西哥裔人.....
06:34
honestly, that's close enough for me right now. So --
123
382000
2000
但其實我覺得這已經很接近了...
06:36
(Laughter)
124
384000
2000
(笑聲)
06:38
I just -- I'm sorry.
125
386000
2000
我......很抱歉
06:40
I'm just trying not to be nervous because this is
126
388000
2000
我想要保持不要這麼緊張，因為這些事情
06:42
a very wonderful experience for me and everything.
127
390000
2000
對我而言是一個非常美妙的體驗。
06:44
And I just -- you know I'm not used to doing the public speaking.
128
392000
2000
而我~其實我不太習慣在這麼多人面前講話。
06:46
And whenever I get nervous I start to talk really fast.
129
394000
2000
而且每次我緊張的時候，說話就會特別快。
06:48
Nobody can understand nothing I'm saying, which is very frustrating for me,
130
396000
2000
你可以了解，如果沒人可以聽懂我說了些甚麼
06:50
as you can imagine.
131
398000
1000
那我會覺得很灰心。
06:51
I usually have to just like try to calm down and take a deep breath.
132
399000
2000
我常常藉著深呼吸來試著冷靜一點。
06:53
But then on top of that, you know, Sarah Jones told me we only have 18 minutes.
133
401000
3000
但糟糕的是。"莎拉 瓊斯"說我們只有18分鐘的時間來演說。
06:56
So then I'm like, should I be nervous, you know, because maybe it's better.
134
404000
2000
所以我想，也許對我而言，緊張一點可能也不錯。
06:58
And I'm just trying not to panic and freak out. So I like, take a deep breath.
135
406000
4000
我不想要表現得很慌張。所以我想我還是需要深呼吸一下才對。
07:02
Okay. Sorry. So anyway, what I was trying to say is that I really love TED.
136
410000
5000
好了。無論如何，我想說的是，我愛TED
07:07
Like, I love everything about this. It's amazing.
137
415000
2000
我喜歡這裡的所有東西。這真的很神奇。
07:09
Like, it's -- I can't get over this right now.
138
417000
2000
喜歡~我永遠無法忘記這一切。
07:11
And, like, people would not believe, seriously, where I'm from,
139
419000
2000
人們常常不相信我是從多明尼加來的。
07:13
that this even exists.
140
421000
2000
甚至不相信這個地方存在。
07:15
You know, like even, I mean I love like the name, the -- TED.
141
423000
3000
我喜歡TED這個名字。
07:18
I mean I know it's a real person and everything, but I'm just saying that like,
142
426000
3000
我知道這是一個真人的名字，但我真的挺喜歡的。
07:21
you know, I think it's very cool how it's also an acronym, you know,
143
429000
4000
你知道的，聽起來很酷，而且居然還是個縮寫。
07:25
which is like, you know, is like very high concept and everything like that.
144
433000
2000
這裡就像個高深莫測的地方。
07:27
I like that.
145
435000
2000
我喜歡這個感覺。
07:29
And actually, I can relate to the whole like acronym thing and everything.
146
437000
4000
事實上，我也和某些縮寫相關的事很有淵源。
07:33
Because, actually, I'm a sophomore at college right now.
147
441000
2000
事實上，我現在正好是大學二年級。
07:35
At my school -- actually I was part of co-founding an organization,
148
443000
4000
我在學校裡面也和別人一起成立了一個組織，
07:39
which is like a leadership thing,
149
447000
2000
是一個有關於領導的組織。
07:41
you know, like you guys, you would really like it and everything.
150
449000
3000
像你們，你們一定會喜歡這組織的。
07:44
And the organization is called DA BOMB,
151
452000
3000
這組織叫作"DA BOMB" (諧音聽起來像是"炸彈")
07:47
A\and DA BOMB -- not like what you guys can build and everything --
152
455000
4000
"DA BOMB" 組織跟妳們的那些組織不大一樣。
07:51
it's like, DA BOMB, it means like Dominican -- it's an acronym --
153
459000
4000
"DA BOMB" 代表"多明尼加......." 它是一個縮寫。
07:55
Dominican-American Benevolent Organization for Mothers and Babies.
154
463000
3000
它代表"美裔多明尼加人的母親與嬰孩慈善組織"
07:58
So, I know, see, like the name is like a little bit long,
155
466000
4000
好的，我知道這名字有一點長。
08:02
but with the war on terror and everything,
156
470000
2000
另外，因為現在有很多恐怖攻擊事件。
08:04
the Dean of Student Activities has asked us to stop saying DA BOMB
157
472000
2000
學生事務處的主任希望我們可以不要用”DA BOMB”這個名字。
08:06
and use the whole thing so nobody would get the wrong idea, whatever.
158
474000
2000
他希望我們使用全名讓大家比較不容易誤會。
08:08
So, basically like DA BOMB --
159
476000
4000
基本上”DA BOMB”
08:12
what Dominican-American Benevolent Organization for Mothers and Babies does
160
480000
4000
也就是"美裔多明尼加人的母親與嬰孩慈善組織"作的事情就是
08:16
is, basically, we try to advocate for students who show a lot of academic promise
161
484000
9000
我們想要針對那些學業上相當努力，但是同時也是一個母親角色的學生，
08:25
and who also happen to be mothers like me.
162
493000
3000
表達我們的支持。
08:28
I am a working mother, and I also go to school full-time.
163
496000
3000
我是一個母親，但是同時我也必須一邊工作一邊上完學校所有的課程。
08:31
And, you know, it's like -- it's so important to have like role models out there.
164
499000
4000
你要知道，找到一個可以學習的模範是相當重要的。
08:35
I mean, I know sometimes our lifestyles are very different, whatever.
165
503000
2000
我的意思是說，有時候我們生活的方式其實有很大的不同。
08:37
But like even at my job -- like, I just got promoted.
166
505000
3000
像現在在工作上，我也得到了一些上司的認同以及提拔。
08:40
Right now it's very exciting actually for me
167
508000
3000
現在我真的是感到非常的開心，
08:43
because I'm the Junior Assistant to the Associate Director
168
511000
2000
因為我是事業發展部門的資深副總底下
08:45
under the Senior Vice President for Business Development --
169
513000
2000
的副主任的初階助理。
08:47
that's my new title.
170
515000
2000
那是我的新職稱。
08:49
So, but I think whether you own your own company or you're just starting out like me,
171
517000
4000
無論你是擁有你自己的公司或者是像我一樣剛剛開始，
08:53
like something like this is so vital
172
521000
2000
像這樣的開始是很重要的。
08:55
for people to just continue expanding their minds and learning.
173
523000
3000
如果你可以不斷的持續學習。
08:58
And if everybody, like all people really had access to that,
174
526000
3000
像一般人堅持的那樣…
09:01
it would be a very different world out there, as I know you know.
175
529000
3000
你我都知道，這世界就會變得十分的不一樣…
09:04
So, I think all people, we need that,
176
532000
2000
所以我想，我們都需要那樣子的決心。
09:06
but especially, I look at people like me, you know like,
177
534000
3000
尤其是當我看著那些像我一樣的人，
09:09
I mean, Latinos -- we're about to be the majority, in like two weeks.
178
537000
7000
你知道的，拉丁裔人~~我們快要變成多數民族了，大概就在兩周以後。
09:16
So, we deserve just as much to be part of the exchange of ideas as everybody else.
179
544000
6000
所以我想，我們就像其他人一樣有資格和別人交換一些想法以及意見。
09:22
So, I'm very happy that you're, you know, doing this kind of thing,
180
550000
3000
所以我很開心，在場的各位舉辦了這樣的活動。
09:25
making the talks available online.
181
553000
2000
而且將這些想法放在網路上供人觀賞。
09:27
That's very good. I love that.
182
555000
2000
這真的太棒了，我真喜歡。
09:29
And I just -- I love you guys. I love TED.
183
557000
2000
我就是…..我愛妳們大家。我愛TED
09:31
And if you don't mind, privately now, in the future, I'm going to think of TED
184
559000
3000
如果妳們不介意的話，我想我個人在以後，我會將TED這個縮寫，
09:34
as an acronym for Technology, Entertainment and Dominicans.
185
562000
3000
翻譯成是”科技 娛樂 和多明尼加人”
09:37
Thank you very much.
186
565000
2000
謝謝各位
09:39
(Laughter)
187
567000
2000
(笑聲)
09:41
(Applause)
188
569000
5000
(掌聲)
09:46
So, that was Noraida,
189
574000
2000
所以，那就是”諾拉達”
09:48
and just like Lorraine and everybody else you're meeting today,
190
576000
2000
就像"洛琳 " 以及其他你們今天見到的人一樣，
09:50
these are folks who are based on real people from my real life:
191
578000
4000
這些夥伴的概念其實都來自我真實生活的活生生的人。
09:54
friends, neighbors, family members.
192
582000
3000
像是朋友，鄰居或者是家族裡的人。
09:57
I come from a multicultural family.
193
585000
3000
我來自一個多元文化組成的家庭
10:00
In fact, the older lady you just met:
194
588000
2000
事實上，你剛剛看到的那位老太太，
10:02
very, very loosely based on a great aunt on my mother's side.
195
590000
4000
有一點點像是我媽媽那邊的一位阿姨。
10:06
It's a long story, believe me.
196
594000
2000
相信我，說來話長。
10:08
But on top of my family background,
197
596000
3000
除了我家裡的背景之外，
10:11
my parents also sent me to the United Nations school,
198
599000
2000
我父母也送我去聯合國國際學校(位於紐約)就讀，
10:13
where I encountered a plethora of new characters,
199
601000
4000
我在那邊遇到相當多別種性格的人
10:17
including Alexandre, my French teacher, okay.
200
605000
5000
像是我的法語老師 "巴頌"女士
10:22
Well, you know, it was beginner French, that I am taking with her, you know.
201
610000
5000
要知道，她那時候教我們初級法文。
10:27
And it was Madame Bousson, you know, she was very [French].
202
615000
6000
"巴頌"女士~她是一個非常......(法文)
10:33
It was like, you know, she was there in the class,
203
621000
2000
可以想像的，在課堂上的時候，
10:35
you know, she was kind of typically French.
204
623000
2000
她就像是典型的法國人。
10:37
You know, she was very chic, but she was very filled with ennui, you know.
205
625000
5000
他看來十分優雅，但是又有一點懶散的感覺。
10:42
And she would be there, you know, kind of talking with the class, you know,
206
630000
5000
而她在課堂上說話的時候，說的東西大概就是，
10:47
talking about the, you know, the existential futility of life, you know.
207
635000
5000
講述那種慵懶隨意的生活是真的存在...
10:52
And we were only 11 years old, so it was not appropriate. (Laughter)
208
640000
3000
對於只有11歲孩子來說，我想有一點不恰當。
10:55
But [German].
209
643000
6000
但是...(德語)
11:01
Yes, I took German for three years, [German],
210
649000
4000
是的，我曾經學過3年德語。
11:05
and it was quite the experience because I was the only black girl in the class,
211
653000
4000
這是一個很特別的經驗，因為即使我是在聯合國國際學校裡面，
11:09
even in the UN school.
212
657000
2000
我也是唯一的黑人學生。
11:11
Although, you know, it was wonderful.
213
659000
2000
這是一個很特別的經驗。
11:13
The teacher, Herr Schtopf, he never discriminated.
214
661000
3000
我們的老師”施托普”先生，她從來沒有歧視過任何人。
11:16
Never. He always, always treated each of us,
215
664000
3000
總是，他總是公平的對待我們每個人。
11:19
you know, equally unbearably during the class.
216
667000
3000
公平到有時候在課堂上會無法忍受的地步。
11:22
So, there were the teachers and then there were my friends,
217
670000
4000
所以，這就是我的老師們，朋友們，
11:26
classmates from everywhere,
218
674000
2000
還有來自世界各地的同學們。
11:28
many of whom are still dear friends to this day.
219
676000
2000
有很多人到現在都還是我很好的朋友。
11:30
And they've inspired many characters as well.
220
678000
5000
她們都給了我很多不同角色的創作靈感。
11:35
For example, a friend of mine.
221
683000
4000
舉例來說，我的一位朋友。
11:39
Well, I just wanted to quickly say good evening.
222
687000
2000
我想首先先跟各位說晚安。
11:41
My name is Praveen Manvi and thank you very much for this opportunity.
223
689000
3000
我的名字是”普拉文 曼維”，多謝各位給我這個機會。
11:44
Of course, TED, the reputation precedes itself all over the world.
224
692000
4000
毫無疑問的，TED的名聲已經傳遍了整個世界。
11:48
But, you know, I am originally from India,
225
696000
3000
我來自印度，
11:51
and I wanted to start by telling you
226
699000
4000
而在這裡我想要告訴妳們。
11:55
that once Sarah Jones told me that we will be having the opportunity
227
703000
3000
當”莎拉 瓊斯”告訴我們，我們將會有機會來加州
11:58
to come here to TED in California,
228
706000
3000
參加TED的時候。
12:01
originally, I was very pleased and, frankly, relieved
229
709000
3000
一開始我感到非常的高興，並且鬆了一口氣。
12:04
because, you know, I am a human rights advocate.
230
712000
3000
因為我是一位人權提倡者。
12:07
And usually my work, it takes me to Washington D.C.
231
715000
3000
因為工作需要，我常常需要到華盛頓特區去。
12:10
And there, I must attend these meetings, mingling with some tiresome politicians,
232
718000
4000
在那裏我必須要參加各種會議，並且和那些煩人的政客打交道。
12:14
trying to make me feel comfortable
233
722000
2000
她們為了要讓我感覺自在一點，
12:16
by telling how often they are eating the curry in Georgetown. (Laughter)
234
724000
3000
常常告訴我她們在喬治城裡有多常吃咖哩。
12:19
So, you can just imagine -- right.
235
727000
4000
你應該可以想像吧~
12:23
So, but I'm thrilled to be joining all of you here.
236
731000
4000
但我非常高興來這邊參加這個活動。
12:27
I wish we had more time together, but that's for another time. Okay? Great.
237
735000
4000
我希望有更多的時間可以和你們在一起，但讓我們保留到下次見面的時候吧。好嗎?
12:31
(Applause)
238
739000
7000
(掌聲)
12:38
And, sadly, I don't think we'll have time for you to meet everybody I brought, but --
239
746000
7000
可惜的是，我想我們有沒足夠的時間和所有我帶來的朋友見面，但是~
12:45
I'm trying to behave myself,
240
753000
3000
怎麼了?我可是努力要好好表現自己呀。
12:48
it's my first time here.
241
756000
3000
這可是我第一次來呀。
12:51
But I do want to introduce you to a couple of folks you may recognize,
242
759000
4000
但我想要介紹一些你們可能認識的朋友，
12:55
if you saw "Bridge and Tunnel."
243
763000
3000
如果你看過那些住在郊區的人的話。
12:58
Uh, well, thank you.
244
766000
3000
好的，謝謝你們。
13:01
Good evening.
245
769000
2000
晚安~
13:03
My name is Pauline Ning,
246
771000
2000
我的名字是”寶琳 寧”
13:05
and first I want to tell you that I'm --
247
773000
5000
首先我想要告訴妳們，
13:10
of course I am a member of the Chinese community in New York.
248
778000
3000
我是紐約華人社區的一份子。
13:13
But when Sarah Jones asked me to please come to TED,
249
781000
6000
當”莎拉 瓊斯”想要邀請我來參加TED的時候，
13:19
I said, well, you know, first, I don't know that, you know --
250
787000
6000
我說，我不確定我是不是可以做得來。你要知道，
13:25
before two years ago, you would not find me in front of an audience of people,
251
793000
6000
大約兩年前，你絕對不會看到我在大眾面前演講，
13:31
much less like this
252
799000
2000
即使比這個場合還要少的人，我也沒辦法。
13:33
because I did not like to give speeches
253
801000
2000
因為我並不喜歡演講，
13:35
because I feel that, as an immigrant, I do not have good English skills for speaking.
254
803000
7000
也因為我覺得我這個外來移民的英文還沒有到可以演講的地步。
13:42
But then, I decided, just like Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,
255
810000
5000
但是，我決定學習”阿諾史瓦辛格”州長當初一樣的精神，
13:47
I try anyway.
256
815000
1000
不試試看怎麼知道。
13:48
(Laughter)
257
816000
5000
(笑聲)
13:53
My daughter -- my daughter wrote that,
258
821000
2000
我的女兒，她幫我寫了這段開頭，
13:55
she told me, "Always start your speech with humor."
259
823000
3000
她告訴我”演講開始的時候最好展示一點幽默感”
13:58
But my background --
260
826000
2000
關於我的背景~
14:00
I want to tell you story only briefly.
261
828000
3000
我要來簡短的告訴各位一個故事。
14:03
My husband and I, we brought our son and daughter here in 1980s
262
831000
5000
我和我先生，帶著我們的兒女在1980年來到這邊，
14:08
to have the freedom we cannot have in China at that time.
263
836000
3000
來這裡品嘗在當時中國所沒有的自由氛圍。
14:11
And we tried to teach our kids to be proud of their tradition, but it's very hard.
264
839000
7000
我們努力的教育我們的孩子要以他們的傳統自豪，但其實非常困難。
14:18
You know, as immigrant, I would speak Chinese to them,
265
846000
4000
你可以體會到的，身為一個移民家庭，我們在家裡是說中文的，
14:22
and they would always answer me back in English.
266
850000
3000
但他們總是會用英文來回答。
14:25
They love rock music, pop culture, American culture.
267
853000
4000
他們喜歡搖滾音樂，流行文化以及美國文化。
14:29
But when they got older,
268
857000
2000
當他們長大了一點的時候，
14:31
when the time comes for them to start think about getting married,
269
859000
4000
到了論及婚嫁的年齡了。
14:35
that's when we expect them to realize, a little bit more, their own culture.
270
863000
6000
我們會開始希望她們可以更進一步了解他們自己的文化。
14:41
But that's where we had some problems.
271
869000
3000
接著我們就遇到一些問題了。
14:44
My son, he says he is not ready to get married.
272
872000
3000
我兒子說他還沒準備好要結婚。
14:47
And he has a sweetheart, but she is American woman, not Chinese.
273
875000
6000
他有一個女朋友，但她不是中國人，而是一個美國女孩。
14:53
It's not that it's bad, but I told him, "What's wrong with a Chinese woman?"
274
881000
6000
其實這也沒甚麼不好，但是我還是跟他說”其實中國女孩也不錯呀”
14:59
But I think he will change his mind soon.
275
887000
3000
我想他有天可能會改變他的主意的。
15:02
So, then I decide instead, I will concentrate on my daughter.
276
890000
5000
所以我想，乾脆把重心放在女兒的交友狀況上好了。
15:07
The daughter's marriage is very special to the mom.
277
895000
3000
你知道，女兒的婚事對媽媽來講是非常特別的。
15:10
But first, she said she's not interested.
278
898000
4000
但剛開始的時候，她說她沒有興趣。
15:14
She only wants to spend time with her friends.
279
902000
3000
她只想要跟她的朋友在一起。
15:17
And then at college, it's like she never came home.
280
905000
5000
接著在讀大學的時候，她基本上就很少回家了。
15:22
And she doesn't want me to come and visit.
281
910000
3000
而且她也不大想要我過去學校看看她。
15:25
So I said, "What's wrong in this picture?"
282
913000
2000
我就開始想，這其中可能有甚麼問題才對。
15:27
So, I accused my daughter to have like a secret boyfriend.
283
915000
5000
我問她是不是有偷偷交了男朋友。
15:32
But she told me, "Mom, you don't have to worry about boys
284
920000
4000
但她跟我說。 媽媽，你其實不用操心有關男孩子的問題。
15:36
because I don't like them."
285
924000
2000
因為我根本不喜歡他們
15:38
(Laughter)
286
926000
3000
(笑聲)
15:41
And I said, "Yes, men can be difficult, but all women have to get used to that."
287
929000
6000
我說，對呀，男人有時候很難理解，但所有女人都會慢慢習慣的。
15:47
She said, "No Mom. I mean, I don't like boys. I like girls.
288
935000
5000
她說，”不不，我的意思是，我不喜歡男生。我喜歡的是女生。”
15:52
I am lesbian."
289
940000
2000
我是同性戀。
15:54
So, I always teach my kids to respect American ideas,
290
942000
5000
我一直跟我的孩子說，要尊重美國文化，
15:59
but I told my daughter that this is one exception --
291
947000
4000
但我跟我女兒說，這件事情是一個例外。
16:03
(Laughter) --
292
951000
3000
(笑聲)
16:06
that she is not gay, she is just confused by this American problem.
293
954000
8000
她不是同性戀，她只是被這個美國文化給搞糊塗了。
16:14
But she told me, "Mom, it's not American."
294
962000
4000
但她告訴我，”媽媽，她不是美國人”
16:18
She said she is in love -- in love with a nice Chinese girl.
295
966000
5000
她說她戀愛了，她愛上了一個中國女孩子。
16:23
(Laughter)
296
971000
2000
(笑聲)
16:25
So, these are the words I am waiting to hear,
297
973000
3000
這就是我長久以來一直想聽到的事情，
16:28
but from my son, not my daughter.
298
976000
2000
但我是指從我的兒子，而不是我的女兒。
16:30
(Laughter)
299
978000
4000
(笑聲)
16:34
But at first I did not know what to do.
300
982000
3000
剛開始的時候，我不知道應該怎麼辦才好。
16:37
But then, over time, I have come to understand that this is who she is.
301
985000
7000
但一段時間過了之後，我開始明白她就是這樣的人。
16:44
So, even though sometimes it's still hard,
302
992000
4000
雖然有的時候還是很難接受，
16:48
I will share with you that it helps me to realize
303
996000
5000
但我跟各位分享，在這件事情上我學習到
16:53
society is more tolerant, usually because of places like this,
304
1001000
5000
因為有像這樣子的地方，因為有這樣子的聲音，
16:58
because of ideas like this,
305
1006000
2000
因為有像在場各位這樣開闊心胸的人，
17:00
and people like you, with an open mind.
306
1008000
3000
所以社會上越來越有包容力。
17:03
So I think maybe TED, you impact people's lives
307
1011000
4000
我覺得TED用各式各樣不同的方式，
17:07
in the ways maybe even you don't realize.
308
1015000
4000
潛移默化的影響了我們的生活。
17:11
So, for my daughter's sake,
309
1019000
3000
所以我要代表我的女兒，
17:14
I thank you for your ideas worth spreading.
310
1022000
4000
多謝各位分享這些值得傳頌的想法。
17:18
Thank you. Xie xie.
311
1026000
2000
多謝，謝謝。
17:20
(Applause)
312
1028000
11000
(掌聲)
17:31
Good evening. My name is Habbi Belahal.
313
1039000
2000
晚安~我的名字是”哈比 貝拉艾”
17:33
And I would like to first of all thank Sarah Jones
314
1041000
4000
首先我要先跟”莎拉 瓊斯” 說謝謝，
17:37
for putting all of the pressure on the only Arab who she brought with her
315
1045000
5000
將今天最後一個發言的機會，
17:42
to be last today.
316
1050000
2000
給了今天唯一一位她帶來的阿拉伯人。
17:44
I am originally from Jordan.
317
1052000
3000
我是從約旦來的。
17:47
And I teach comparative literature at Queens College.
318
1055000
4000
我在皇后學院中教授比較文學。
17:51
It is not Harvard.
319
1059000
2000
不是哈佛。
17:53
But I feel a bit like a fish out of water.
320
1061000
4000
雖然我感覺到有點不適應。
17:57
But I am very proud of my students.
321
1065000
2000
但是我為我的學生感覺到相當自豪。
17:59
And I see that a few of them did make it here to the conference.
322
1067000
5000
而且我在這場會議中有一些學生來到了現場。
18:04
So you will get the extra credit I promised you.
323
1072000
3000
我保證會遵守之前的承諾給妳們額外分數的。
18:07
But, while I know that I may not look like the typical TED-izen, as you would say,
324
1075000
8000
你們可能會覺得我看起來不像是本地人。
18:15
I do like to make the point that we in global society,
325
1083000
6000
但我想要強調我們現在是在一個地球村的社會裡頭。
18:21
we are never as different as the appearances may suggest.
326
1089000
4000
其實我們並沒有像外表那樣子看起來不同。
18:25
So, if you will indulge me, I will share quickly with you a bit of verse,
327
1093000
5000
如果各位允許的話，我想要跟各位分享一首詩，
18:30
which I memorized as a young girl at 16 years of age.
328
1098000
5000
這是當我16歲的時候所背誦的一首詩。
18:35
So, back in the ancient times.
329
1103000
3000
讓我們回到遠古時代吧。
18:38
[Arabic]
330
1106000
19000
(阿拉伯語)
18:57
And this roughly translates:
331
1125000
3000
它的意思大概是說：
19:00
"Please, let me hold your hand.
332
1128000
3000
“請讓我握住你的手。”
19:03
I want to hold your hand.
333
1131000
3000
“我想要握住你的手。”
19:06
I want to hold your hand.
334
1134000
2000
“我想要握住你的手。”
19:08
And when I touch you, I feel happy inside.
335
1136000
4000
“當我與你有接觸之後，我的內心就感到無比的幸福快樂。”
19:12
It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide."
336
1140000
7000
“我的親愛的，這種感覺我一點也無法隱瞞，無法隱藏，無法隱藏。”
19:19
Well, so okay, but please, please, but please.
337
1147000
8000
好了。但是請注意，請注意。
19:27
If it is sounding familiar, it is because I was at the same time in my life
338
1155000
6000
如果這詩聽起來很熟悉的話，那是因為差不多在我人生的同一個時期中，
19:33
listening to the Beatles.
339
1161000
2000
我也在聽”披頭四”的歌曲。 (註:以上翻譯很像”披頭四”的歌曲I want to hold your hand)
19:35
On the radio [unclear], they were very popular.
340
1163000
3000
你也常常在電台裡頭聽到他們的歌曲
19:38
So, all of that is to say that I like to believe
341
1166000
6000
所以，我想表達的是我情願相信，
19:44
that for every word intended as to render us deaf to one another,
342
1172000
6000
雖然有很多字語讓我們對外面的世界默不關心，
19:50
there is always a lyric connecting ears and hearts across the continents in rhyme.
343
1178000
7000
但總是有動人的歌詞透過動聽的旋律在世界各地感動你的耳朵與心靈。
19:57
And I pray that this is the way that we will self-invent, in time.
344
1185000
6000
而我期盼我們將會透過這樣子的方式不斷的自我實現。
20:03
That's all, shukran. Thank you very much for the opportunity.
345
1191000
4000
就是這樣。多謝各位給我這個機會。
20:07
Okay? Great.
346
1195000
2000
好嗎? 好的。
20:09
(Applause)
347
1197000
2000
(掌聲)
20:11
Thank you all very much. It was lovely.
348
1199000
2000
多謝各位。這裡真是太棒了。
20:13
Thank you for having me.
349
1201000
2000
多謝各位今天的到來。
20:15
(Applause)
350
1203000
4000
(起立掌聲)
20:19
Thank you very, very much. I love you.
351
1207000
3000
多謝，多謝各位。我愛你們。
20:22
(Applause)
352
1210000
2000
(掌聲)
20:24
Well, you have to let me say this.
353
1212000
4000
再讓我說幾句話。
20:28
I just -- thank you.
354
1216000
4000
我很…謝謝各位。
20:32
I want to thank Chris and Jacqueline, and just everyone for having me here.
355
1220000
4000
我想謝謝”克里斯”和”賈桂琳”，還有其他每一位邀請我來這裡的人。
20:36
It's been a long time coming, and I feel like I'm home.
356
1224000
2000
我花很長的時間才來到這邊，但是我覺得好像回到家裡了一樣，
20:38
And I know I've performed for some of your companies
357
1226000
3000
我知道我可能曾經到你們之中的某些公司表演過。
20:41
or some of you have seen me elsewhere,
358
1229000
2000
或者你們曾經在別的場合看過我，
20:43
but this is honestly one of the best audiences I've ever experienced.
359
1231000
3000
但老實說，你們是我遇過最棒的觀眾。
20:46
The whole thing is amazing, and so don't you all go reinventing yourselves any time soon.
360
1234000
4000
這裡的一切都太棒了，期待妳們快點開始重新發掘自我吧。
20:50
(Applause)
361
1238000
3000
(掌聲)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Jones - Polymorphic playwrightTony Award-winning monologist, UNICEF ambassador, firebrand and FCC-fighting poet -- Sarah Jones assumes as many roles offstage as on.
Why you should listen
"Chameleon-like" barely describes the astonishing ease with which Sarah Jones slips in and out of the characters in her solo performances -- as many as fourteen personae in her Broadway hit Bridge & Tunnel. Critics marvel not only at her ability to perfectly mimic accents and mannerisms, but also to seemingly reshape her body, down to pupils and dimples, in the blink of an eye.
Jones' performances showcase a biting political awareness, and she has received commissions from Equality Now, the Kellogg Foundation and the National Immigration Forum to address issues of injustice and inequality. She is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and has given multiple performances at the White House at the invitation of President and First Lady Obama. Jones is now at work on a new solo show called Sell/Buy/Date, commissioned by the Novo Foundation. She debuted material from it at TED2015. She is also working on a commission for Lincoln Center Theater and a television project based on her characters.
