00:15
So, imagine you're standing on a street anywhere in America
0
0
4000
Та өөрийгөө Америкийн нэг гудамжинд
зогсож байна гэж төсөөл.
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
Япон эр тань дээр ирээд асууна:
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
"Уучлаарай, энэ газрын нэр юу вэ?"
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.
3
9000
4000
Хариуд нь та "Энэ Оак гудамж,
тэр бол Элм гудамж,
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
энэ 26, тэр 27 дох нь" гэнэ.
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
Нөгөө эр: "Гэхдээ яг энэ хэсгийн нэр нь?"
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Та "Блокт нэр байдаггүй юм,
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
гудамжууд нэртэй, блокууд зүгээр л
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
гудмын хооронд байдаг нэргүй хэсэг."
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
Тэр эр жоохон гонсойсон байдалтай
яваад өглөө.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Харин одоо Японы нэг гудамжинд
зогсож байна гэж төсөөл.
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
Та хажуудах хүнээсээ асууна:
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
"Уучлаарай, энэ гудамжны нэр юу вэ?"
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
Тэр хүн: "Тэр блок 17, энэ блок 16."
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
Хариуд нь та "Гэхдээ энэ гудамжны нэр нь?"
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
Нөгөө хүн: "Гудамжны нэр гэж байхгүй.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Блокууд л нэртэй.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Google газрын зургийг хар л даа.
Энд блок 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 байна.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Эдгээр бүх блокууд нэртэй,
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
харин гудамж бол блокуудын
хооронд байдаг нэргүй хэсэг."
Та: "Тэгвэл гэрийнхээ хаягыг
яаж мэдэх болж байна?"
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
Өнөөх эр: "Амархан, энэ бол 8-р дүүрэг.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Тэр блок 17-ийн 1-р байр."
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
Та: "Би явж байхдаа анзаарсан л даа,
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
байрнуудын дугаар нь эмх цэгцгүй юм."
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
Нөгөө хүн: "Мэдээж эмх цэгцтэй.
Тэд хэзээ баригдсанаас хамаарна.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Блокт хамгийн эхэнд баригдсан
байшин бол 1-р байр.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Дараа баригдсан нь 2-р байр.
Дараах нь 3-р байр.
Ойлгомжтой байгаа биз дээ."
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Миний дуртай зүйл бол заримдаа бид
дэлхийн нөгөө өнцөг рүү очиж байж
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
огт мэддэггүй зүйлсээ олж мэдэн,
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
мөн эдгээрийн эсрэг нь ч
зөв байж болохыг ойлгодог.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Жишээлбэл, Хятадын зарим эмч нар
тэдний ажил бол таныг
эрүүл байлгах явдал гэж үздэг.
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
Иймд та эрүүл байгаа сар бүр
тэдэнд мөнгө өгөх ёстой.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
Харин та өвдвөл төлөхгүй,
учир нь тэд ажлаа хийж чадаагүй.
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
Тэд таныг өвдөхөд биш
эрүүл байхад л баяждаг.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(Алга ташилт)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Ихэнх хөгжимд бид "нэг"-ийг эхлэл буюу
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
1, 2, 3, 4 гэх хөгжмийн үеийн
эхлэл гэж боддог.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Харин баруун Африкт,
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
"нэг"-г үеийн төсгсөл гэж үздэг.
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
Яг өгүүлбэрийн төгсгөл цэг шиг.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
Үүнийг зөвхөн хөгжим биш,
дууны эхлэлд хэрхэн тоолдгоос харж болно.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
2, 3, 4, 1
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
Мөн энэ газрын зураг ч гэсэн зөв.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(Инээд)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
Нэг хэлц байдаг: Энэтхэгийн талаар
таны хэлж чадах зүйлсийн
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
эсрэг нь ч гэсэн үнэн.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Иймд бүгдээрээ TED эсвэл өөр хаа нэгтээ
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
таны сонссон гайхалтай санааны
эсрэг нь ч гэсэн зөв байж болно
гэдгийг санаарай.
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Маш их баярлалаа. (Японоор)
