12000
5000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：好多了。爱因斯坦感到非常荣幸参加TED 2006 演讲会，
00:29
amongst all you modern-day Einsteins. In fact, she's very excited.
8
17000
3000
并与诸位现代爱因斯坦相识。事实上，她兴奋的不得了。
00:32
E: Woo.
9
20000
1000
爱因斯坦：唔
00:33
SW: Yeah.
10
21000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：没错。
00:34
(Laughter)
11
22000
1000
(笑声)
00:35
Since we've arrived, there's been a constant buzz about
12
23000
2000
自从我们到达这里，就不断地听到关于
00:37
all the exciting speakers here for the conference.
13
25000
3000
所有来参加演讲会的令人兴奋的演讲者们的事情。
00:40
This morning we've heard a lot of whispers about
14
28000
2000
今天早晨我们听到很多关于
00:42
Tom Reilly's wrap-up on Saturday. Einstein, did you hear whispers?
15
30000
3000
汤姆.欧莱礼周六晚上的闭幕演讲的小道消息。爱因斯坦，你听说了吗？
00:45
E: [Squawks]
16
33000
1000
爱因斯坦：(瓜瓜地叫)
00:46
SW: Yeah.
17
34000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：没错。
00:47
(Laughter)
18
35000
1000
(笑声)
00:48
Einstein's especially interested in Penelope's talk.
19
36000
3000
爱因斯坦对佩内洛普的演讲尤其感兴趣。
00:51
A lot of her research goes on in caves, which can get pretty dusty.
20
39000
3000
她的很多研究都需要在山洞里进行，尘土会比较大。
00:54
E: Achoo!
21
42000
2000
爱因斯坦：啊嚏！
00:56
SW: It could make her sneeze. But more importantly, her research
22
44000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：会使她打喷嚏。但是更重要的是，她的研究
00:59
could help Einstein find a cure for her never-ending scratchy throat.
23
47000
3000
可能会帮助爱因斯坦为她经常沙哑的喉咙找到治疗方案。
01:02
Einstein: [Coughs]
24
50000
2000
爱因斯坦：(咳嗽)
01:04
SW: Yeah.
25
52000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：没错。
01:05
(Laughter)
26
53000
1000
(笑声)
01:06
Well, Bob Russell was telling us about his work on nanotubes
27
54000
2000
鲍伯.罗素给我们讲了他的纳米管的项目
01:08
in his research at the microscopic level.
28
56000
2000
他的研究要求精益求精。
01:10
Well, that's really cool, but what Einstein's really hoping
29
58000
3000
听起来非常棒，但是爱因斯坦却特别希望
01:14
is that maybe he'll genetically engineer a five-pound peanut.
30
62000
3000
鲍伯能够用基因改造工程研制一个5镑重的花生米。
01:17
E: Oh, my God! My God! My God!
31
65000
2000
爱因斯坦：呕，我的天呀！我的天呀！我的天呀！
01:19
SW: Yeah. She would get really, really excited.
32
67000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：没错，她会变得非常非常兴奋的。
01:21
(Laughter)
33
69000
1000
(笑声)
01:22
That is one big peanut. Since Einstein is a bird,
34
70000
3000
那可是一个巨大的花生米。因为爱因斯坦是只鸟,
01:25
she's very interested in things that fly.
35
73000
3000
她对会飞的东西非常感兴趣。
01:28
She thinks Burt Rutan is very impressive.
36
76000
2000
她认为伯特.鲁坦非常了不起。
01:30
E: Ooh.
37
78000
1000
爱因斯坦：喔。
01:31
SW: Yeah. She especially likes his latest achievement, SpaceShipOne.
38
79000
4000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：是的，她尤其喜欢他最近的成果：航天飞船1号。
01:35
Einstein, would you like to ride in Burt's spaceship?
39
83000
3000
爱因斯坦，你想乘坐伯特的航天飞船吗？
01:38
E: [Spaceship noise]
40
86000
1000
爱因斯坦：(航天飞船的响声)
01:39
SW: Even if it doesn't have a laser?
41
87000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：即使飞船没有激光也行？
01:40
E: [Laser noise]
42
88000
2000
爱因斯坦：(激光的响声)
01:42
(Laughter)
43
90000
3000
(笑声)
01:45
SW: Yeah, yeah. That was pretty funny, Einstein.
44
93000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：那一招挺滑稽的，爱因斯坦。
01:49
Now, Einstein also thinks, you know, working in caves
45
97000
4000
爱因斯坦还认为在山洞工作
01:53
and travelling through space -- it's all very dangerous jobs.
46
101000
3000
及在宇宙中航行都是非常危险的工作。
01:56
It would be very dangerous if you fell down.
47
104000
3000
如果你摔倒的话，会非常危险。
01:59
E: Wheeeeeee! [Splat]
48
107000
2000
爱因斯坦：(从高处摔落的声音)
02:01
SW: Yeah.
49
109000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：没错。
02:02
(Laughter)
50
110000
2000
(笑声)
02:04
Little splat at the end there. Einstein, did that hurt?
51
112000
1000
爱因斯坦，摔得痛不痛？
02:05
E: Ow, ow, ow.
52
113000
1000
爱因斯坦：喔，喔，喔
02:06
SW: Yeah. It's all a lot of hard work.
53
114000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：没错，这些都需要非常卖力工作。
02:09
E: [Squawks]
54
117000
1000
爱因斯坦：(呱呱)
02:10
SW: Yeah. It can get a bird like Einstein frustrated.
55
118000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：会使爱因斯坦这样的鸟感觉不知所措。
02:12
E: [Squawks]
56
120000
1000
爱因斯坦：(呱呱)
02:13
SW: Yeah, it sure can. But when Einstein needs to relax from her job
57
121000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：绝对没错。但是爱因斯坦需要在她的工作之余放松放松
02:16
educating the public, she loves to take in the arts.
58
124000
3000
除了教育公众外，她酷爱艺术。
02:19
If the children of the Uganda need another dance partner,
59
127000
3000
如果乌干达的孩子们再需要一位舞伴的话，
02:22
Einstein could sure fit the bill, because she loves to dance.
60
130000
3000
爱因斯坦会刚好合适，因为她喜欢跳舞。
02:25
Can you get down?
61
133000
2000
你能为大家跳段舞吗？
02:27
E: [Bobbing head] (Laughter)
62
135000
1000
爱因斯坦：(不断地上下晃动脑袋) (笑声)
02:28
SW: Let's get down for everybody. Come on now.
63
136000
2000
让我们给大家跳舞吧。现在开始。
02:30
She's going to make me do it, too. Ooh, ooh.
64
138000
2000
她也让我一起跳。噢，噢。
02:32
Einstein: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
65
140000
2000
爱因斯坦：噢，噢，噢，噢。
02:34
SW: Do your head now.
66
142000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：现在上下摇晃脑袋。
02:35
E: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
67
143000
2000
爱因斯坦：噢，噢，噢，噢。
02:38
(Laughter)
68
146000
3000
(笑声)
02:41
SW: Or maybe Sirena Huang would like to learn some arias
69
149000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特： 没准儿塞丽娜.王想学用她的小提琴学些新的曲子，
02:44
on her violin, and Einstein can sing along with some opera?
70
152000
3000
同时爱因斯坦可以跟着唱歌剧？
02:47
E: [Operatic squawk]
71
155000
1000
爱因斯坦：(歌剧的呱呱声)
02:48
SW: Very good.
72
156000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：非常好。
02:49
(Laughter)
73
157000
1000
(笑声)
02:50
Or maybe Stu just needs another backup singer?
74
158000
3000
或者没准儿司图需要另一个后备歌手？
02:53
Einstein, can you also sing?
75
161000
2000
爱因斯坦，你会唱歌吗？
02:55
I know, you need to get rid of that seed first. Can you sing?
76
163000
2000
当然了，你得先把那颗瓜子吃掉。能唱吗？
02:57
E: La, la.
77
165000
1000
爱因斯坦：拉，拉。
02:58
SW: There you go. And, of course, if all else fails,
78
166000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：好极了。当然了，如果什么都不成功，
03:01
you can just run off and enjoy a fun fiesta.
79
169000
3000
你可以溜掉，找个热闹的地方玩玩。
03:04
E: [Squawks]
80
172000
1000
爱因斯坦：(呱呱)
03:06
SW: All right. Well, Einstein was pretty embarrassed to admit this earlier,
81
174000
4000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：好了，爱因斯坦之前很不好意思承认，
03:10
but she was telling me backstage that she had a problem.
82
178000
3000
但还是在后台告诉我说，她有一点小麻烦。
03:13
E: What's the matter?
83
181000
2000
爱因斯坦：怎么了？
03:15
SW: No, I don't have a problem. You have the problem, remember?
84
183000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：不是我，我没有麻烦。你有点麻烦，记得吗？
03:17
You were saying that you were really embarrassed,
85
185000
2000
你说，你非常不好意思
03:19
because you're in love with a pirate?
86
187000
2000
因为你爱上了一个海盗？
03:21
E: Yar.
87
189000
1000
爱因斯坦：是。
03:22
SW: There you go. And what do pirates like to drink?
88
190000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：承认了吧。海盗喜欢喝什么？
03:25
E: Beer.
89
193000
1000
爱因斯坦：啤酒。
03:26
SW: Yeah, that's right. But you don't like to drink beer, Einstein.
90
194000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：是的，没错。但是你不喜欢喝啤酒，对不对爱因斯坦？
03:29
You like to drink water.
91
197000
1000
你喜欢喝水。
03:30
E: [Water sound]
92
198000
1000
爱因斯坦：(水声)
03:31
SW: Very good. Now, really, she is pretty nervous.
93
199000
3000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：非常好。真的，她非常紧张。
03:34
Because one of her favorite folks from back home is here,
94
202000
3000
因为她最欣赏的人物之一就在现场，
03:37
and she's pretty nervous to meet him.
95
205000
2000
要与他见面，她非常紧张。
03:39
She thinks Al Gore is a really good-looking man.
96
207000
3000
她认为阿尔.戈尔非常英俊。
03:42
What do you say to a good-looking man?
97
210000
2000
你想对帅哥说些什么？
03:44
E: Hey, baby.
98
212000
1000
爱因斯坦：你好，宝贝儿。
03:45
(Laughter)
99
213000
2000
(笑声)
03:47
SW: And so do all the folks back home in Tennessee.
100
215000
2000
对在家乡田纳西的乡亲们说什么？
03:49
E: Yee haw.
101
217000
2000
爱因斯坦：(兴奋激动的声音)
03:51
(Laughter)
102
219000
1000
(笑声)
03:52
SW: And since she's such a big fan,
103
220000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：因为是阿尔.戈尔的崇拜者，
03:54
she knows that his birthday is coming up at the end of March.
104
222000
2000
她知道他的生日是在三月底。
03:56
And we didn't think he'd be in town then,
105
224000
2000
我们猜他那时不会在这里。
03:58
so Einstein wanted to do something special for him.
106
226000
3000
因此爱因斯坦想为他做点儿特殊的事情。
04:01
So let's see if Einstein will sing "Happy Birthday" to Al Gore.
107
229000
3000
让我们看看爱因斯坦是否愿意为阿尔. 戈尔唱“祝你生日快乐”。
04:04
Can you sing "Happy Birthday" to him?
108
232000
2000
你能为他唱“生日快乐”吗？
04:06
E: Happy birthday to you.
109
234000
2000
爱因斯坦：祝你生日快乐。
04:08
SW: Again.
110
236000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：再唱一遍。
04:10
E: Happy birthday to you.
111
238000
1000
爱因斯坦：祝你生日快乐。
04:11
SW: Again.
112
239000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特： 再唱一遍。
04:12
E: Happy birthday to you.
113
240000
3000
祝你生日快乐。
04:15
SW: Big finish.
114
243000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：最后一遍。
04:16
E: Happy birthday to you.
115
244000
2000
爱因斯坦：祝你生日快乐。
04:18
SW: Good job!
116
246000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：好极了。
04:20
(Applause)
117
248000
5000
(鼓掌)
04:26
Well, before we wrap it up, she would like to give a shout out
118
254000
3000
在我们结束之前，她希望问候
04:29
to all our animal friends back at the Knoxville Zoo.
119
257000
3000
所有在我们诺克斯威尔动物园的动物朋友们。
04:32
Einstein, do you want to say "hi" to all the owls?
120
260000
2000
爱因斯坦，你想对所有猫头鹰说”你们好“吗？
04:34
E: Woo, woo, woo.
121
262000
1000
爱因斯坦：(猫头鹰的叫声)
04:35
SW: What about the other birds?
122
263000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：其他鸟呢？
04:37
E: Tweet, tweet, tweet.
123
265000
1000
爱因斯坦：(鸟叫)
04:38
SW: And the penguin?
124
266000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：企鹅呢？
04:39
E: Quack, quack, quack.
125
267000
1000
爱因斯坦：(企鹅叫)
04:40
SW: There we go.
126
268000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：不错。
04:41
(Laughter)
127
269000
1000
(笑声)
04:42
Let's get that one out of there. How about a chimpanzee?
128
270000
2000
说的好。猩猩呢？
04:44
E: Ooh, ooh, ooh. Aah, aah, aah.
129
272000
2000
爱因斯坦：(猩猩叫声)
04:46
SW: Very good.
130
274000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：非常好。
04:47
(Laughter)
131
275000
1000
(笑声)
04:48
What about a wolf?
132
276000
1000
狼呢？
04:49
E: Ooooowww.
133
277000
1000
爱因斯坦：(狼叫声)
04:50
SW: And a pig?
134
278000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：猪呢？
04:51
E: Oink, oink, oink.
135
279000
1000
爱因斯坦：(猪叫声)
04:52
SW: And the rooster?
136
280000
1000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：公鸡？
04:53
E: Cock-a-doodle-doo!
137
281000
1000
爱因斯坦：(公鸡叫)
04:54
SW: And how about those cats?
138
282000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：猫呢？
04:56
E: Meow.
139
284000

爱因斯坦：(猫叫)
04:57
(Laughter)
140
285000
1000
(笑声)
04:58
SW: At the zoo we have big cats from the jungle.
141
286000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：在动物园里，我们有从森林里来的大猫。
05:00
E: Grrrrr.
142
288000
1000
爱因斯坦：(狮子叫)
05:01
(Laughter)
143
289000
1000
(笑声)
05:02
SW: What about a skunk?
144
290000
2000
斯蒂芬尼.怀特：臭鼬呢？
05:04
E: Stinker.
145
292000
1000
爱因斯坦：臭气熏天。
05:06
(Laughter)
146
294000
1000
(笑声)
05:07
SW: She's a comedian. I suppose you think you're famous? Are you famous?
147
295000
