I wrote this poem after hearing a pretty well known actress

この詩を書いたのは皆さんご存知のある女優がテレビで
00:30
tell a very well known interviewer on television,
1
5000
3000
有名なインタビュワーにこういっているのを耳にしたからです
00:33
"I'm really getting into the Internet lately.
2
8000
2000
「最近インターネットに夢中なの」
00:35
I just wish it were more organized."
3
10000
2000
「もう少し整頓されてたらいいのにな」
00:37
So ...
4
12000
1000
そこで
00:38
(Laughter)
5
13000
2000
(笑)
00:42
If I controlled the Internet,
6
17000
3000
私がインターネットを操れれば
00:45
you could auction your broken heart on eBay.
7
20000
4000
失恋で痛めた心をイーベイのオークションで売り
00:49
Take the money; go to Amazon;
8
24000
2000
そのお金でamazonに行き
00:51
buy a phonebook for a country you've never been to -- call folks at random
9
26000
4000
異国の電話帳を購入し くどき上手が
00:55
until you find someone who flirts really well in a foreign language.
10
30000
3000
見つけるまで電話をかけられるだろうね
00:58
(Laughter)
11
33000
1000
(笑)
00:59
If I were in charge of the Internet,
12
34000
2000
私がインターネットの管理人ならば
01:01
you could Mapquest your lover's mood swings.
13
36000
3000
恋人の感情の起伏をマップクエストで調べ
01:04
Hang left at cranky, right at preoccupied,
14
39000
4000
不機嫌で左に 上の空なら右へ曲がり
01:08
U-turn on silent treatment,
15
43000
2000
不穏な沈黙はUターン
01:10
all the way back to tongue kissing and good lovin'.
16
45000
3000
こうしてディープキスまで帰り着きます
01:13
You could navigate and understand every emotional intersection.
17
48000
3000
感情の交差点も思いのまま
01:16
Some days, I'm as shallow as a baking pan,
18
51000
3000
いつか私は焼き型のように薄く
01:19
but I still stretch miles in all directions.
19
54000
2000
しかしどの方向にも長く広く伸びるだろう
01:21
If I owned the Internet, Napster, Monster and Friendster.com
20
56000
6000
インターネットが私の所有物ならばNapster Monster Friendster.comは
01:27
would be one big website.
21
62000
2000
１つの巨大ウェブサイトになるだろう
01:29
That way you could listen to cool music
22
64000
2000
こうして仕事探しをしている振りをし
01:31
while you pretend to look for a job
23
66000
2000
実は友達とチャットをしている合間に
01:33
and you're really just chattin' with your pals.
24
68000
2000
おしゃれな音楽を聴くことができるだろ
01:35
(Laughter)
25
70000
1000
(笑)
01:36
Heck, if I ran the Web, you could email dead people.
26
71000
4000
私がインターネットのオーナーなら死んだ人にもメールできるだろう
01:40
(Laughter)
27
75000
2000
(笑)
01:42
They would not email you back
28
77000
2000
彼らは返事しないだろうけど
01:44
(Laughter) --
29
79000
1000
(笑)
01:45
but you'd get an automated reply.
30
80000
2000
自動返信ならありえるでしょうね
01:47
(Laughter)
31
82000
2000
(笑)
01:49
Their name in your inbox
32
84000
2000
受信箱に彼らの名前さえあれば
01:51
(Laughter) --
33
86000
1000
(笑)
01:52
it's all you wanted anyway.
34
87000
2000
それで満足でしょ
01:54
And a message saying, "Hey, it's me. I miss you.
35
89000
3000
本文はというと「やあ 私だ 寂しいよ」
01:57
(Laughter)
36
92000
1000
(笑)
01:58
Listen, you'll see being dead is dandy.
37
93000
3000
「聞けよ 死ぬのも悪くないぞ」
02:01
Now you go back to raising kids and waging peace and craving candy."
38
96000
4000
「生きてれば子育て 世界平和 おやつも食べたくなるだろうしな」
02:05
If I designed the Internet, childhood.com would be a loop
39
100000
5000
私がインターネットをデザインすればスキーの板を剣に
02:10
of a boy in an orchard, with a ski pole for a sword,
40
105000
5000
ゴミ場のふたを盾に構えた男の子が果樹園で繰り返し叫ぶだろう
02:15
trashcan lid for a shield, shouting, "I am the emperor of oranges.
41
110000
3000
「私はオレンジの王である」
02:18
I am the emperor of oranges. I am the emperor of oranges."
42
113000
3000
「私はオレンジの王である 私はオレンジの王である」
02:21
Now follow me, OK?
43
116000
1000
ついてきてくださいよ
02:22
(Laughter)
44
117000
1000
(笑)
02:23
Grandma.com would be a recipe for biscuits and spit-bath instructions.
45
118000
3000
おばあちゃん.comはビスケットのレシピとつば磨きをお教えします
02:26
One, two, three.
46
121000
2000
１ ２ ３
02:28
That links with hotdiggitydog.com.
47
123000
2000
犬だらけグッズサイトのリンクがある
02:30
That is my grandfather.
48
125000
2000
これは私の祖父。
02:32
They take you to gruff-ex-cop-on-his-fourth-marriage.dad.
49
127000
2000
「不機嫌なバツ3元警察官兼父」に飛ばされます
02:34
He forms an attachment to
50
129000
1000
彼はこんなサイトに興味がある
02:35
kind-of-ditzy-but-still-sends-ginger-snaps-for-Christmas.mom,
51
130000
2000
「なんとなく間抜けだがいまだにクリスマスにジンジャークッキーを贈る母」
02:37
who downloads the boy in the orchard, the emperor of oranges,
52
132000
4000
果樹園の男の子 オレンジの王様
02:41
who grows up to be me --
53
136000
3000
すなわち後の私
02:44
the guy who usually goes too far.
54
139000
2000
だいたい行き過ぎの男をダウンロードする
02:46
So if I were emperor of the Internet,
55
141000
3000
さて 私がインターネットの王だとしても
02:49
I guess I'd still be mortal, huh?
56
144000
3000
不死にはなりませんよね?
02:52
But at that point, I would probably
57
147000
2000
しかしこの時点で既に
02:54
already have the lowest possible mortgage
58
149000
4000
最低利率の住宅抵当と世界最大の
02:58
and the most enlarged possible penis
59
153000
2000
ペニスを獲得しているでしょうね
03:00
(Laughter) --
60
155000
1000
(笑)
03:01
so I would outlaw spam on my first day in office.
61
156000
2000
戴冠の日にスパムは違法化します
03:03
I wouldn't need it.
62
158000
2000
こんなもの要りませんから
03:05
I'd be like some kind of Internet genius, and me,
63
160000
2000
インターネット天才みたいになって
03:07
I'd like to upgrade to deity and maybe just like that --
64
162000
4000
神に格上げされて そのうちこんな風に
03:11
pop! -- I'd go wireless.
65
166000
3000
バン！ ワイヤレスです
03:14
(Laughter)
66
169000
1000
(笑)
03:15
Huh? Maybe Google would hire this.
67
170000
2000
ね？たぶんGoogleも採用しますよ
03:17
I could zip through your servers and firewalls like a virus
68
172000
2000
ウィルスみたいにサーバーとファイヤーウォールに侵入できます
03:19
until the World Wide Web is as wise, as wild and as organized
69
174000
4000
ワールドワイドウェブが賢く 大胆でかつ整理されている
03:23
as I think a modern-day miracle/oracle can get, but, ooh-eee,
70
178000
5000
いまどきのミラクルもとい オラクルがそうであるくらいになるまでやります
03:28
you want to bet just how whack and un-PC
71
183000
4000
だけど そんな大変化があったらMacやPCが
03:32
your Mac or PC is going to be when I'm rocking
72
187000
2000
変なものになるだろうって思うでしょう
03:34
hot-shit-hot-shot-god.net?
73
189000
2000
神の試み.net？
03:36
I guess it's just like life.
74
191000
2000
まんま人生みたいですね
03:38
It is not a question of if you can --
75
193000
2000
できるかどうかが問題ではありません
03:40
it's: do ya?
76
195000
2000
するかですよね？
03:42
We can interfere with the interface.
77
197000
2000
インターフェースはいじれます。
03:44
We can make "You've got Hallelujah" the national anthem of cyberspace
78
199000
3000
ログオンするという幸運のたびに
03:47
every lucky time we log on.
79
202000
2000
「ハレルヤ」をサイバー空間のテーマソングにすることもできる。
03:49
You don't say a prayer.
80
204000
2000
祈りをささげない
03:51
You don't write a psalm.
81
206000
2000
賛美歌は書かない
03:53
You don't chant an "om."
82
208000
2000
念仏を唱えない
03:55
You send one blessed email to whomever you're thinking of
83
210000
4000
ただ 祝福されたメールを送る
03:59
at dah-da-la-dat-da-dah-da-la-dat.com.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rives - Performance poet, multimedia artistPerformance artist and storyteller Rives has been called "the first 2.0 poet," using images, video and technology to bring his words to life.
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.
