00:21
This means, "I'm smiling."
0
3000
3000
Това значи, че се усмихвам.
00:24
So does that.
1
6000
3000
Както и това.
00:27
This means "mouse."
2
9000
2000
Това значи мишка.
00:29
"Cat."
3
11000
2000
Котка.
00:32
Here we have a story.
4
14000
2000
Ето една история.
00:34
The start of the story, where this means guy,
5
16000
3000
Началото на историята, където - това означава някакъв тип,
00:37
and that is a ponytail on a passer-by.
6
19000
5000
а това е конската опашка на една минувачка.
00:44
Here's where it happens.
7
26000
3000
Ето къде се случва.
00:47
These are when.
8
29000
2000
Тези са кога.
00:49
This is a cassette tape the girl puts into her cassette-tape player.
9
31000
3000
Това е касета, която момичето слага в касетофона си.
00:52
She wears it every day.
10
34000
2000
Тя го носи всеки ден.
00:54
It's not considered vintage --
11
36000
1000
Не се смята за старомодно -
00:55
she just likes certain music to sound a certain way.
12
37000
2000
тя просто обича определена музика да звучи по определен начин.
00:57
Look at her posture; it's remarkable.
13
39000
2000
Погледнете позата й - забележителна е.
00:59
That's because she dances.
14
41000
2000
Това е, защото танцува.
01:01
Now he, the guy, takes all of this in, figuring,
15
43000
2000
А той, типът, възприема всичко това и си мисли:
01:03
"Honestly, geez, what are my chances?"
16
45000
4000
"Честно, божке, какви са ми шансовете?"
01:07
(Laughter)
17
49000
1000
(Смях)
01:08
And he could say, "Oh my God!"
18
50000
3000
И може да каже: "О, боже!"
01:11
or "I heart you!"
19
53000
2000
или "Аз сърце теб!"
01:13
"I'm laughing out loud."
20
55000
2000
Смея се на глас.
01:15
"I want to give you a hug."
21
57000
2000
Искам да ви прегърна.
01:17
But he comes up with that, you know.
22
59000
2000
Но в крайна сметка ето какво прави.
01:19
He tells her, "I'd like to hand-paint your portrait on a coffee mug."
23
61000
4000
Казва й: "Бих искал да нарисувам ръчно портрета ви върху чаша за кафе.
01:23
(Laughter)
24
65000
2000
(Смях)
01:25
Put a crab inside it.
25
67000
2000
Поставете един рак вътре.
01:27
Add some water.
26
69000
2000
И малко вода.
01:29
Seven different salts.
27
71000
2000
Седем различни вида соли.
01:31
He means he's got this sudden notion to stand on dry land,
28
73000
3000
Иска да каже, че внезапно си е представил как стои на суша,
01:34
but just panhandle at the ocean.
29
76000
2000
но едва достига океана.
01:36
He says, "You look like a mermaid, but you walk like a waltz."
30
78000
6000
Казва: "Приличаш на русалка, но вървиш като валс."
01:42
And the girl goes, "Wha'?"
31
84000
4000
А момичето пита: "К'во?"
01:47
So, the guy replies, "Yeah, I know, I know.
32
89000
2000
Типът отвръща: "Да, знам, знам.
01:49
I think my heartbeat might be the Morse code for inappropriate.
33
91000
3000
Мисля, че пулсът ми на морзов код може би означава "неподходящ".
01:52
At least, that's how it seems.
34
94000
2000
Поне така изглежда.
01:54
I'm like a junior varsity cheerleader sometimes --
35
96000
4000
Понякога съм като мажоретка-първокурсничка в университета -
01:58
for swearing, awkward silences, and very simple rhyme schemes.
36
100000
5000
заради ругатните, неловкото мълчание и много простите рими.
02:03
Right now, talking to you, I'm not even really a guy.
37
105000
5000
А в момента, докато ви говоря, дори не съм човек.
02:08
I'm a monkey --
38
110000
2000
Аз съм маймунка,
02:10
(Laughter) --
39
112000
1000
(Смях)
02:11
blowing kisses
40
113000
2000
която праща въздушни целувки
02:13
at a butterfly.
41
115000
2000
на пеперуда.
02:15
But I'm still suggesting you and I should meet.
42
117000
3000
Но все пак предлагам с вас да се срещнем.
02:18
First, soon, and then a lot.
43
120000
5000
Първо скоро, а после много.
02:23
I'm thinking the southwest corner of 5th and 42nd at noon tomorrow,
44
125000
4000
Мисля си за югозападния ъгъл на 5-та и 42-ра утре по обяд,
02:27
but I'll stay until you show up, ponytail or not.
45
129000
4000
но ще стоя, докато се появите, с конска опашка или без.
02:31
Hell, ponytail alone.
46
133000
2000
По дяволите, дори само конската опашка.
02:33
I don't know what else to tell you.
47
135000
2000
Не знам какво още да ви кажа.
02:35
I got a pencil you can borrow.
48
137000
2000
Имам молив, който мога да ви заема.
02:37
You can put it in your phone."
49
139000
3000
Можете да го сложите в телефона си."
02:40
But the girl does not budge, does not smile, does not frown.
50
142000
8000
Но момичето не помръдва, не се усмихва, не се мръщи.
02:48
She just says, "No thank you."
51
150000
4000
Просто казва: "Не, благодаря."
02:52
You know?
52
154000
2000
Разбирате ли?
02:56
[ "i don't need 2 write it down." ]
53
158000
6000
["няма нужда да го пиша".]
03:02
(Applause)
54
164000
10000
(Аплодисменти)

Why you should listen
Part poet, part storyteller, part philosopher, Rives is the co-host of TEDActive as well as a frequent TED speaker. On stage, his poems burst in many directions, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold. Chimborazo.
A regular on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Rives also starred alongside model Bar Refaeli in the 2008 Bravo special Ironic Iconic America, touring the United States on a "roller coaster ride through the eye-popping panorama of American pop culture." Flat pages can't contain his storytelling, even when paper is his medium. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
His latest project—the Museum of Four in the Morning—is an ode to a time that may well be part of a global conspiracy. In a good way.
