Bagi orang asing, belajar berbicara Bahasa Mandarin sangat sulit. Namun belajar membaca aksara Cina yang indah dan seringkali rumit mungkin tidak sesulit itu. ShaoLan memberikan pelajaran sederhana dalam mengenali gagasan di balik aksara dan artinya -- membangun dari beberapa bentuk sederhana ke konsep yang lebih rumit. Sebut saja "Chineasy."

Growing up in Taiwan

2056
Karena tumbuh besar di Taiwan
00:14
as the daughter of a calligrapher,
1
2810
1612
sebagai putri seorang ahli kaligrafi,
00:16
one of my most treasured memories
2
4422
2368
salah satu kenangan saya yang paling berharga
00:18
was my mother showing me the beauty, the shape
3
6790
3093
adalah saat ibu menunjukkan keindahan, rupa,
00:21
and the form of Chinese characters.
4
9883
2633
dan bentuk dari aksara Cina.
00:24
Ever since then, I was fascinated
5
12516
2507
Sejak saat itu, saya menjadi terpesona
00:27
by this incredible language.
6
15023
2662
pada bahasa yang luar biasa ini.
00:29
But to an outsider, it seems to be
7
17685
2735
Namun bagi orang luar, hal ini seperti sesuatu
00:32
as impenetrable as the Great Wall of China.
8
20420
3509
yang tidak dapat ditembus seperti Tembok Cina
00:35
Over the past few years, I've been wondering
9
23929
2375
Selama beberapa tahun terakhir saya berpikir
00:38
if I can break down this wall,
10
26304
2052
bagaimana cara menghancurkan tembok ini,
00:40
so anyone who wants to understand and appreciate
11
28356
2594
sehingga siapapun yang ingin mengerti dan memahami
00:42
the beauty of this sophisticated language could do so.
12
30950
3908
keindahan dari bahasa yang rumit ini dapat melakukannya.
00:46
I started thinking about how a new, fast method
13
34858
4312
Saya mulai memikirkan bagaimana cara baru dan cepat
00:51
of learning Chinese might be useful.
14
39170
2848
untuk belajar Bahasa Mandarin dapat berguna.
00:54
Since the age of five, I started to learn how to draw
15
42018
3986
Sejak berusia 5 tahun, saya mulai belajar menggambar
00:58
every single stroke for each character
16
46004
3005
setiap goresan dari setiap aksara
01:01
in the correct sequence.
17
49009
2544
dengan urutan yang benar.
01:03
I learned new characters every day
18
51553
2057
Saya belajar aksara baru setiap hari
01:05
during the course of the next 15 years.
19
53610
2727
selama 15 tahun berikutnya.
01:08
Since we only have five minutes,
20
56337
2120
Karena kita hanya memiliki waktu 5 menit
01:10
it's better that we have a fast and simpler way.
21
58457
3635
lebih baik kita memiliki cara yang cepat dan sederhana.
01:14
A Chinese scholar would understand 20,000 characters.
22
62092
3525
Di Cina, orang yang terpelajar tahu 20.000 aksara.
01:17
You only need 1,000 to understand the basic literacy.
23
65617
5112
Anda hanya perlu 1.000 aksara untuk mengerti tulisan dasar.
01:22
The top 200 will allow you to comprehend
24
70729
4016
200 aksara utama akan membuat Anda mengerti
01:26
40 percent of basic literature --
25
74745
2896
40 persen dari tulisan dasar --
01:29
enough to read road signs, restaurant menus,
26
77641
2876
cukup untuk membaca rambu lalu lintas, menu restoran,
01:32
to understand the basic idea of the web pages
27
80517
3004
mengerti gagasan utama di laman internet
01:35
or the newspapers.
28
83521
1939
atau surat kabar.
01:37
Today I'm going to start with eight
29
85460
2199
Hari ini saya akan mulai dengan 8 aksara
01:39
to show you how the method works.
30
87659
1892
untuk menunjukkan cara kerjanya.
01:41
You are ready?
31
89551
1921
Anda siap?
01:43
Open your mouth as wide as possible
32
91472
2683
Buka mulut Anda selebar mungkin
01:46
until it's square.
33
94155
2046
hingga membentuk persegi.
01:48
You get a mouth.
34
96201
2682
Itulah mulut.
01:50
This is a person going for a walk.
35
98883
3088
Ini adalah orang yang sedang berjalan.
01:53
Person.
36
101971
3131
Orang.
01:57
If the shape of the fire is a person
37
105102
2709
Bayangkan bentuk api ini adalah orang
01:59
with two arms on both sides,
38
107811
2270
dengan tangan di kedua sisinya,
02:02
as if she was yelling frantically,
39
110081
2170
seperti jika dia sedang berteriak,
02:04
"Help! I'm on fire!" --
40
112251
3553
"Tolong! Saya terbakar!" --
02:07
This symbol actually is originally from the shape of the flame,
41
115804
4167
Simbol ini sebenarnya berasal dari bentuk nyala api,
02:11
but I like to think that way. Whichever works for you.
42
119971
3813
namun saya suka berpikir ini orang terbakar. Apapun bisa.
02:15
This is a tree.
43
123784
2259
Ini adalah pohon.
02:18
Tree.
44
126043
2098
Pohon.
02:20
This is a mountain.
45
128141
4425
Ini adalah gunung.
02:24
The sun.
46
132566
2601
Matahari.
02:29
The moon.
47
137458
4654
Bulan.
02:34
The symbol of the door
48
142112
1975
Simbol dari pintu
02:36
looks like a pair of saloon doors in the wild west.
49
144087
5706
yang tampak seperti sepasang pintu bar di dunia koboi.
02:41
I call these eight characters radicals.
50
149793
3738
Saya menyebut kedelapan aksara ini radikal.
02:45
They are the building blocks
51
153531
1766
Aksara ini adalah penyusun
02:47
for you to create lots more characters.
52
155297
4130
untuk membuat banyak aksara lainnya.
02:51
A person.
53
159427
1738
Orang.
02:53
If someone walks behind, that is "to follow."
54
161165
4268
Jika seseorang berjalan di belakangnya, berarti "mengikuti."
02:57
As the old saying goes,
55
165433
2128
Seperti pepatah kuno,
02:59
two is company, three is a crowd.
56
167561
3726
dua adalah teman, tiga adalah keramaian.
03:03
If a person stretched their arms wide,
57
171287
2915
Jika orang itu merentangkan kedua tangannya,
03:06
this person is saying, "It was this big."
58
174202
4647
orang itu berkata, "Benda itu sebesar ini."
03:10
The person inside the mouth, the person is trapped.
59
178849
3848
Orang di dalam mulut, orang itu terperangkap.
03:14
He's a prisoner, just like Jonah inside the whale.
60
182697
5846
Seorang tahanan, seperti Nabi Yunus di dalam perut ikan paus.
03:20
One tree is a tree. Two trees together, we have the woods.
61
188543
3494
Satu pohon adalah pohon. Dua pohon berarti belukar.
03:24
Three trees together, we create the forest.
62
192037
3556
Tiga pohon, ada hutan.
03:27
Put a plank underneath the tree, we have the foundation.
63
195593
4072
Ada papan di bawah pohon, menjadi fondasi.
03:31
Put a mouth on the top of the tree, that's "idiot." (Laughter)
64
199665
4135
Ada mulut di atas pohon, artinya "idiot," (Tawa)
03:35
Easy to remember,
65
203800
2081
Mudah diingat,
03:37
since a talking tree is pretty idiotic.
66
205881
4942
karena pohon yang berbicara terdengar idiot.
03:42
Remember fire?
67
210823
2042
Ingat aksara api?
03:44
Two fires together, I get really hot.
68
212865
2661
Dua api bersama, saya menjadi kepanasan.
03:47
Three fires together, that's a lot of flames.
69
215526
2859
Tiga api bersama, ada banyak api.
03:50
Set the fire underneath the two trees, it's burning.
70
218385
4601
Ada api di bawah dua pohon, berarti terbakar.
03:54
For us, the sun is the source of prosperity.
71
222986
3092
Bagi kami matahari adalah sumber kemakmuran.
03:58
Two suns together, prosperous.
72
226078
2179
Dua matahari bersama, makmur.
04:00
Three together, that's sparkles.
73
228257
2358
Tiga matahari, berkilau.
04:02
Put the sun and the moon shining together,
74
230615
2021
Ada matahari dan bulan bersinar bersama,
04:04
it's brightness.
75
232636
1308
artinya terang.
04:05
It also means tomorrow, after a day and a night.
76
233944
4225
Itu juga berarti esok hari, setelah siang dan malam.
04:10
The sun is coming up above the horizon. Sunrise.
77
238169
4483
Matahari muncul dari cakrawala. Fajar.
04:14
A door. Put a plank inside the door,
78
242652
3103
Pintu. Ada papan di dalam pintu,
04:17
it's a door bolt.
79
245755
2057
berarti grendel.
04:19
Put a mouth inside the door, asking questions.
80
247812
2964
Ada mulut di dalam pintu, sedang bertanya.
04:22
Knock knock. Is anyone home?
81
250776
3331
Tok tok. Ada orang di rumah?
04:26
This person is sneaking out of a door,
82
254107
2888
Orang ini menyelinap keluar dari pintu,
04:28
escaping, evading.
83
256995
2832
melarikan diri.
04:31
On the left, we have a woman.
84
259827
2153
Di sebelah kiri, ada wanita.
04:33
Two women together, they have an argument.
85
261980
2162
Dua wanita bersama, mereka beradu mulut.
04:36
(Laughter)
86
264142
2133
(Tawa)
04:38
Three women together, be careful, it's adultery.
87
266275
6518
Tiga wanita bersama, hati-hati, itu berarti berbuat zina.
04:44
So we have gone through almost 30 characters.
88
272793
3509
Jadi kita sudah belajar hampir 30 aksara.
04:48
By using this method, the first eight radicals
89
276302
3337
Dengan cara ini, dengan 8 aksara radikal pertama
04:51
will allow you to build 32.
90
279639
2001
Anda dapat membuat 32 aksara.
04:53
The next group of eight characters
91
281640
1763
8 aksara berikutnya
04:55
will build an extra 32.
92
283403
2192
akan membentuk 32 aksara berikutnya.
04:57
So with very little effort,
93
285595
2302
Jadi dengan sedikit usaha,
04:59
you will be able to learn a couple hundred characters,
94
287897
2266
Anda akan dapat mempelajari beberapa ratus aksara,
05:02
which is the same as a Chinese eight-year-old.
95
290163
2552
yang sama dengan seorang Cina berusia 8 tahun.
05:04
So after we know the characters, we start building phrases.
96
292715
3547
Jadi setelah kita memahami aksara itu kita mulai membuat frasa.
05:08
For example, the mountain and the fire together,
97
296262
2697
Contohnya, gunung dan api bersama,
05:10
we have fire mountain. It's a volcano.
98
298959
2928
ada gunung api. Itulah gunung meletus.
05:13
We know Japan is the land of the rising sun.
99
301887
3320
Kita tahu bahwa Jepang adalah negeri matahari terbit.
05:17
This is a sun placed with the origin,
100
305207
3418
Inilah matahari yang bersama dengan kata "asal,"
05:20
because Japan lies to the east of China.
101
308625
3127
karena Jepang terletak di sebelah timur Cina.
05:23
So a sun, origin together, we build Japan.
102
311752
3890
Jadi matahari dan asal, membentuk Jepang.
05:27
A person behind Japan, what do we get?
103
315642
2958
Seseorang di belakang Jepang, apa itu?
05:30
A Japanese person.
104
318600
3102
Orang Jepang.
05:33
The character on the left is two mountains
105
321702
2801
Aksara di sebelah kiri adalah dua gunung
05:36
stacked on top of each other.
106
324503
2107
yang ditumpuk.
05:38
In ancient China, that means in exile,
107
326610
3217
Di Cina kuno, itu berarti pengasingan,
05:41
because Chinese emperors, they put their political enemies
108
329827
2438
karena para Kaisar Cina, mengusir lawan-lawan politiknya
05:44
in exile beyond mountains.
109
332265
2371
ke pengasingan di balik gunung.
05:46
Nowadays, exile has turned into getting out.
110
334636
5011
Kini, pengasingan telah berubah menjadi keluar.
05:51
A mouth which tells you where to get out
111
339647
2571
Mulut yang mengatakan ke mana harus keluar
05:54
is an exit.
112
342218
1928
adalah jalan keluar.
05:56
This is a slide to remind me that I should stop talking
113
344146
3641
Inilah slide untuk mengingatkan saya bahwa saya harus berhenti
05:59
and get off of the stage. Thank you.
114
347787
1883
dan turun dari panggung. Terima kasih.
06:01
(Applause)
