I am no designer, nope, no way.
0
856
3851
我并不是一个设计师，完全不是。
00:20
My dad was,
1
4707
1816
我父亲曾经是，
00:22
which is kind of an interesting way to grow up.
2
6523
2592
这使我的成长非常富有趣味。
00:25
I had to figure out what it is my dad did
3
9115
4175
所以我得弄明白我父亲的工作是什么，
00:29
and why it was important.
4
13290
1800
以及为什么它如此重要。
00:30
Dad talked a lot about bad design when we were growing up,
5
15090
3161
父亲在我们童年时经常批评差的设计，
00:34
you know, "Bad design is just people not thinking, John," he would say
6
18251
4970
比如，他说：“约翰，差的设计是人们没有慎重思考的结果，
00:39
whenever a kid would be injured by a rotary lawn mower
7
23221
2463
无论是导致儿童被旋转的割草机弄伤，
00:41
or, say, a typewriter ribbon would get tangled
8
25684
2950
或者打字机纸带被缠绕住，
00:44
or an eggbeater would get jammed in the kitchen.
9
28634
2393
或者厨房的打蛋器堵塞。
00:46
You know, "Design -- bad design, there's just no excuse for it.
10
31027
5519
你懂的，你不能为差的设计找借口。
00:52
It's letting stuff happen without thinking about it.
11
36546
2608
这是轻率地放任事情发生的后果。
00:55
Every object should be about something, John.
12
39154
3363
所有物品都必须有意义，约翰。
00:58
It should imagine a user.
13
42517
1438
它必须以用户的角度为出发点。
00:59
It should cast that user in a story starring the user and the object.
14
43955
4967
它必须反映出，在以用户和物品为中心的故事中，用户的核心地位。
01:04
Good design," my dad said, "is about supplying intent."
15
48922
5241
好的设计，”我父亲说过，“要能够实现其存在的意义。”
01:10
That's what he said.
16
54163
2655
这是他的原话。
01:12
Dad helped design the control panels for the IBM 360 computer.
17
56818
3921
我父亲参与设计了IBM360大型计算机的控制面板。
01:16
That was a big deal; that was important. He worked for Kodak for a while; that was important.
18
60739
4000
那是个大工程，且意义非凡。他为柯达工作过一段，那也很重要。
01:20
He designed chairs and desks and other office equipment for Steelcase; that was important.
19
64739
5556
他设计了Steelcase公司的桌椅和一系列办公用品；这也很有意义。
01:26
I knew design was important in my house because, for heaven's sake, it put food on our table, right?
20
70295
5038
我认为设计对我的家非常重要，因为，上帝啊，有了它我们才能把食物拿上桌子，不是吗？
01:31
And design was in everything my dad did.
21
75333
2372
而设计就是我父亲工作的全部。
01:33
He had a Dixieland jazz band when we were growing up,
22
77705
3157
我们童年时，父亲有一支迪克西兰爵士乐队，
01:36
and he would always cover Louis Armstrong tunes.
23
80862
2696
他可以随时演奏路易斯.阿姆斯克朗的音乐。
01:39
And I would ask him every once in a while,
24
83558
1728
我时不时会问他，
01:41
"Dad, do you want it to sound like the record?"
25
85286
2911
“爸爸，你希望它听起来和唱片里一样吗？”
01:44
We had lots of old jazz records lying around the house.
26
88197
2153
我们的房子里到处躺满了爵士乐的老唱片。
01:46
And he said, "No, never, John, never.
27
90350
2297
但他说，“不，永远不，约翰，永远不。
01:48
The song is just a given, that's how you have to think about it.
28
92647
2727
每首歌都只是授予我们的材料，这是你看待它的正确方式。
01:51
You gotta make it your own. You gotta design it.
29
95374
2685
你要把它变成你自己的。你要设计它。
01:53
Show everyone what you intend," is what he said.
30
98059
3997
把你赋予它的意义展示给大家看。”这是他说的。
01:57
"Doing that, acting by design, is what we all should be doing.
31
102056
4289
“设计，就是我们实现它的方式。
02:02
It's where we all belong."
32
106345
2109
设计就是我们的最终答案。”
02:04
All of us? Designers?
33
108454
3425
我们都是？都是设计师？
02:07
Oh, oh, Dad. Oh, Dad.
34
111879
4934
噢，噢，爸爸，噢，爸爸。
02:12
The song is just a given.
35
116813
1665
音乐是赋予的。
02:14
It's how you cover it that matters.
36
118478
2488
如何去改变它才是重点。
02:16
Well, let's hold on to that thought for just a minute.
37
120966
2096
好，让我们停在这一会儿。
02:18
It's kind of like this wheelchair I'm in, right?
38
123062
2903
这就像我坐的轮椅，对么？
02:21
The original tune? It's a little scary.
39
125965
2025
原本的故事？有点恐怖。
02:23
"Ooh, what happened to that dude?
40
127990
2664
“噢，你看那个伙计怎么了？
02:26
He can't walk. Anybody know the story?
41
130654
3111
他不能走路。有谁知道这个故事？
02:29
Anybody?"
42
133765
1906
谁知道？”
02:31
I don't like to talk about this very much, but I'll tell you guys the story today.
43
135671
5287
我不是很喜欢谈论这件事，但是今天我想把这个告诉你。
02:36
All right, exactly 36 years ago this week, that's right,
44
140958
3850
好吧，确切的说是36年前的这个星期，好吧，
02:40
I was in a poorly designed automobile
45
144808
1942
我在一个设计很糟糕的车子里
02:42
that hit a poorly designed guardrail
46
146750
3921
撞上了一个同样设计糟糕的护栏
02:46
on a poorly designed road in Pennsylvania,
47
150671
2583
位于一个设计糟糕的路，在宾夕法尼亚，
02:49
and plummeted down a 200-foot embankment
48
153254
4793
从一个200英尺高的路堤上径直跌下去
02:53
and killed two people in the car.
49
158047
2207
两个人当场死在了车里。
02:56
But ever since then, the wheelchair has been a given in my life.
50
160254
4479
从那以后，轮椅就成了我生活中的一部分。
03:00
My life, at the mercy of good design and bad design.
51
164733
5136
我的生活中，有幸遇到好的设计和糟糕的设计。
03:05
Think about it. Now, in design terms,
52
169869
2403
想想这个，用设计的语言来讲，
03:08
a wheelchair is a very difficult object.
53
172272
2998
轮椅是一个非常困难的事物。
03:11
It mostly projects tragedy and fear and misfortune,
54
175270
4168
它通常被赋予害怕与不幸，
03:15
and it projects that message, that story, so strongly
55
179438
2791
这个寄托的信息，这个故事，是如此的强烈
03:18
that it almost blots out anything else.
56
182229
2259
仿佛吸干了一切。
03:20
I roll swiftly through an airport, right?
57
184488
3478
我在机场快速的滚动（轮椅），好？
03:23
And moms grab their kids out of the way and say, "Don't stare!"
58
187966
3984
母亲们从路上抓住他们的孩子并说道“别盯着看！”
03:27
The poor kid, you know, has this terrified look on his face, God knows what they think.
59
191950
4199
那个可怜的孩子，你知道，充满恐惧的看着他的脸，上帝知道他们是怎么想的。
03:32
And for decades, I'm going,
60
196149
2169
几十年了，我一直想，
03:34
why does this happen? What can I do about it? How can I change this? I mean there must be something.
61
198318
4480
为什么会发生这个？我又对此能做些什么？我能改变什么？我想这一定意味着什么。
03:38
So I would roll, I'd make no eye contact -- just kinda frown, right?
62
202798
5159
我滚动着，躲开视线的接触——就像一种皱眉，对么？
03:43
Or I'd dress up really, really sharply or something.
63
207957
5432
或者精心打扮整齐
03:49
Or I'd make eye contact with everyone --
64
213389
1877
或者，我和每一个人目光接触
03:51
that was really creepy; that didn't work at all.
65
215266
2492
这真是诡异；这一点也不管用
03:53
(Laughter)
66
217758
1913
（笑声）
03:55
You know anything, I'd try. I wouldn't shower for a week -- nothing worked.
67
219671
3855
你知道所有这些，我都试过了。我一周没洗澡——一点不管用。
03:59
Nothing whatsoever worked until a few years ago,
68
223526
3984
无论什么都不管用直到几年以后，
04:03
my six-year-old daughters were looking at this wheelchair catalog that I had, and they said,
69
227510
4340
我六岁的女儿们看着这个轮椅的目录，她们说道，
04:07
"Oh, Dad! Dad! Look, you gotta get these, these flashy wheels -- you gotta get 'em!"
70
231850
5124
“噢，爸爸！爸爸！看啊，你一定要买这种闪光轮子的轮椅”
04:12
And I said, "Oh, girls, Dad is a very important journalist,
71
236974
4113
我说道，“噢，孩子们，爸爸是个很重要的记者，
04:16
that just wouldn't do at all."
72
241087
2566
这跟我身份不符。”
04:19
And of course, they immediately concluded,
73
243653
1945
当然，她们立刻推断，
04:21
"Oh, what a bummer, Dad. Journalists aren't allowed to have flashy wheels.
74
245598
5167
“噢，好可惜，爸爸。记者不允许有闪光轮子。
04:26
I mean, how important could you be then?" they said.
75
250765
4478
我的意思是，你是有都重要才能拥有它们？“她们问道。
04:31
I went, "Wait a minute, all right, right -- I'll get the wheels." Purely out of protest,
76
255243
4962
为了反驳她们我说：“等等，好啦，我会买这种”
04:36
I got the flashy wheels, and I installed them and --
77
260205
4918
我买了这台轮椅，装上发光轮子
04:41
check this out. Could I have my special light cue please?
78
265123
3528
我能让灯光暗下来吗？
04:44
(Laughter)
79
268651
1522
（笑声）
04:46
Look at that!
80
270173
2931
你看！
04:49
Now ... look at, look at this! Look at this!
81
273104
2465
现在，你看！你看！
04:51
So what you are looking at here
82
275569
3447
你眼前看的
04:54
has completely changed my life,
83
279016
3087
完全改变了我的生活，
04:58
I mean totally changed my life.
84
282103
2977
我的意思是彻底改变我的生活
05:00
Instead of blank stares and awkwardness,
85
285080
2872
我以前面对的是呆滞的眼神和尴尬，
05:03
now it is pointing and smiling!
86
287952
3484
现在它们在指指点点和微笑
05:07
People going, "Awesome wheels, dude! Those are awesome!
87
291436
4068
人们说道，“真了不起的轮子，伙计！真了不起！
05:11
I mean, I want some of those wheels!" Little kids say,
88
295504
2600
我的意思是，我想要这样的轮子！“小孩子说道，
05:14
"Can I have a ride?"
89
298104
2136
”我能骑一下么？“
05:16
(Laughter)
90
300240
1875
（笑声）
05:18
And of course there's the occasional person --
91
302115
2517
当然偶尔会有一些人——
05:20
usually a middle-aged male who will say,
92
304632
1816
一般是中年男性会说到，
05:22
"Oh, those wheels are great!
93
306448
1641
”噢，这些轮子太棒了！
05:23
I guess they're for safety, right?"
94
308089
2290
我猜这样为了更安全，对吧？”
05:26
(Laughter)
95
310379
2349
（笑声）
05:28
No! They're not for safety.
96
312728
5968
不！它们不是为了安全。
05:34
No, no, no, no, no.
97
318696
1880
不，不，不，不 ，不。
05:36
What's the difference here,
98
320576
1777
这就是不同的地方，
05:38
the wheelchair with no lights
99
322353
1807
没有灯光的轮椅
05:40
and the wheelchair with lights?
100
324160
1730
和有亮灯的轮椅？
05:41
The difference is intent.
101
325890
3782
不同的地方在于设计意图。
05:45
That's right, that's right; I'm no longer a victim.
102
329672
3657
这就对了，这就对了；我不再是一个受害者。
05:49
I chose to change the situation -- I'm the Commander of the Starship Wheelchair with the phaser wheels in the front. Right?
103
333329
5912
我选择改变情况——我是一个拥有前轮滚动发光的轮椅星球战舰的指挥官，对么？
05:55
Intent changes the picture completely.
104
339241
4375
设计目的完全改变了人的感受。
05:59
I choose to enhance
105
343616
1817
我选择改善
06:01
this rolling experience
106
345433
1943
坐轮椅的体验
06:03
with a simple design element.
107
347376
3704
用一个简单的电子设计。
06:06
Acting with intent.
108
351080
2208
体现它的设计目的
06:09
It conveys authorship.
109
353288
2216
它展示的是自主性。
06:11
It suggests that someone is driving.
110
355504
3080
它展示我是驾驶
06:14
It's reassuring; people are drawn to it.
111
358584
3008
它让人心安，吸引人
06:17
Someone making the experience their own.
112
361592
3512
让他们有不同的感受
06:21
Covering the tragic tune
113
365104
2240
掩盖过去的悲剧性
06:23
with something different,
114
367344
2896
而给人不同
06:26
something radically different.
115
370240
3209
极度不同的感受。
06:29
People respond to that.
116
373449
2047
人们对此有所回应。
06:31
Now it seems simple, but actually I think
117
375496
2792
看似简单，但我认为
06:34
in our society and culture in general,
118
378288
2225
在我们的文化和社会中，
06:36
we have a huge problem with intent.
119
380513
2063
我们在设计目的有很大问题。
06:38
Now go with me here. Look at this guy. You know who this is?
120
382576
3360
跟上我。看这家伙。你知道这是谁么？
06:41
It's Anders Breivik. Now, if he intended to kill
121
385936
4016
他是安德斯·貝林·布雷維克。如果他的意图是在去年
06:45
in Olso, Norway last year,
122
389952
1736
挪威奥斯陆
06:47
dozens and dozens of young people --
123
391688
2360
杀死成批的人——
06:49
if he intended to do that,
124
394048
1712
如果他的目的就是这个，
06:51
he's a vicious criminal. We punish him.
125
395760
2584
那他是恶毒的。我们要惩罚他。
06:54
Life in prison. Death penalty in the United States, not so much in Norway.
126
398344
3369
判终身监禁。不像美国，挪威没有终身监禁。
06:57
But, if he instead acted out of a delusional fantasy,
127
401713
4351
但如果这是患妄想症下的行为，
07:01
if he was motivated by some random mental illness,
128
406064
4984
如果他是因为患了精神疾病才这样做，
07:06
he's in a completely different category.
129
411048
2446
这就完全不同了，
07:09
We may put him away for life, but
130
413494
1787
我们也许会把他终身隔离起来，
07:11
we watch him clinically.
131
415281
2039
但我们会对他医疗监控。
07:13
It's a completely different domain.
132
417320
3449
与刑罚完全不同。
07:16
As an intentional murderer,
133
420769
2472
作为故意杀人犯，
07:19
Anders Breivik is merely evil.
134
423241
3039
安德斯·貝林·布雷維克是一个魔鬼。
07:22
But as a dysfunctional,
135
426280
2185
但是作为一个有障碍的人，
07:24
as a dysfunctional murderer/psychotic,
136
428465
2248
一个有障碍的谋杀犯/精神病人，
07:26
he's something much more complicated.
137
430713
1959
他的这件事就更复杂了。
07:28
He's the breath of some
138
432672
1760
他是某种
07:30
primitive, ancient chaos.
139
434432
3400
原始，古老混乱的产物。
07:33
He's the random state of nature
140
437832
1984
他的内在性格十分混乱
07:35
we emerged from.
141
439816
1530
不想我们能控制本能
07:37
He's something very, very different.
142
441346
2270
他是某种非常非常复杂的人。
07:39
It's as though intent is an essential component for humanity.
143
443616
3737
目的是人性中非常重要的一环。
07:43
It's what we're supposed to do somehow.
144
447353
2319
我们必须根据其做出反应。
07:45
We're supposed to act with intent.
145
449672
2728
我们必须根据目的行事。
07:48
We're supposed to do things by design.
146
452400
2456
我们必须根据设计行事。
07:50
Intent is a marker for civilization.
147
454856
4840
目的是文明的象征。
07:55
Now here's an example a little closer to home:
148
459696
2592
现在，这是我家的一个例子：
07:58
My family is all about intent.
149
462288
2376
我家人做的一切都是根据目的。
08:00
You can probably tell there are two sets of twins,
150
464664
3208
你可以看见这有两个上胞胎，
08:03
the result of IVF technology, in vitro fertilization technology,
151
467872
4248
是试管受精科技的产物，
08:08
due to some physical limitations I won't go into.
152
472120
2635
因为我个人的身体限制细节就不说了。
08:10
Anyway, in vitro technology, IVF,
153
474755
3053
总而言之，试管受精。
08:13
is about as intentional as agriculture.
154
477808
3004
就像农业的意图。
08:16
Let me tell you, some of you may have the experience.
155
480812
2156
让我告诉你，你也许有这样的经验。
08:18
In fact, the whole technology of sperm extraction
156
482968
2944
事实上，从脊椎受伤的男子身上抽取精子的技术
08:21
for spinal cord-injured males was invented by a veterinarian.
157
485912
4448
是由一位兽医发明的。
08:26
I met the dude. He's a great guy.
158
490360
2282
我有见过这位老兄，是个很棒的人。
08:28
He carried this big leather bag full of sperm probes for
159
492642
4942
他携带者一个大皮带
08:33
all of the animals that he'd worked with,
160
497584
2296
里面充满从动物身上
08:35
all the different animals.
161
499880
1499
抽取精子的工具。
08:37
Probes he designed,
162
501379
2132
这些用具是他设计的，
08:39
and in fact, he was really, really proud of these probes.
163
503511
3001
事实上，他也非常因此为傲。
08:42
He would say, "You're right between horse and squirrel, John."
164
506512
3770
他会说，“马和松鼠基本用具都一样，约翰”
08:46
(Laughter)
165
510282
3238
（笑声）
08:49
But anyway, so when my wife and I decided
166
513520
5672
但是不论如何，当我和我妻子决定
08:55
to upgrade our early middle age -- we had four kids, after all --
167
519192
3049
要让我们生活更有品质——我们已经有了四个孩子，
08:58
with a little different technology
168
522241
1991
用一些复杂的技术
09:00
that I won't explain in too much detail here --
169
524232
2880
我不会在这解释太多细节
09:03
my urologist assured me I had nothing whatsoever to worry about.
170
527112
4258
我的泌尿科医师说我什么都不用担心。
09:07
"No need for birth control, Doc, are you sure about that?"
171
531370
2576
“医生，你确定我不用避孕吗？”
09:09
"John, John, I looked at your chart.
172
533946
3560
“约翰，约翰，我看了你的病例。
09:13
From your sperm tests we can
173
537506
2257
由你的检测结果
09:15
confidently say that
174
539763
2008
我们可以很有信心的说
09:17
you're basically a form of birth control."
175
541771
2722
你身体本身已经拥有避孕功能。”
09:20
Well!
176
544493
3278
是么！
09:23
(Laughter)
177
547771
3592
（笑声）
09:27
What a liberating thought! Yes!
178
551363
3375
多么令人松口气的想法啊！太好了！
09:30
And after a couple very liberating weekends,
179
554738
3065
过了几个快和的周末，
09:33
my wife and I,
180
557803
1440
我的妻子和我，
09:35
utilizing some cutting-edge erectile technology
181
559243
3888
是用来先进的勃起技术
09:39
that is certainly worthy of a TEDTalk someday
182
563131
2584
这技术某天一定成为TEDTalk的这题
09:41
but I won't get into it now,
183
565715
2031
但我这次没办法说，
09:43
we noticed some familiar, if unexpected, symptoms.
184
567746
4752
我们发现一些相似的，意料之外的症状。
09:48
I wasn't exactly a form of birth control.
185
572498
3660
我的身体并没有避孕功能。
09:52
Look at that font there. My wife was so pissed.
186
576158
3580
看那个字。我太太气坏了。
09:55
I mean, did a designer come up with that?
187
579738
1545
我是说，设计师怎么想出来的？
09:57
No, I don't think a designer did come up with that.
188
581283
2232
不，我不认为设计师这个意图。
09:59
In fact, maybe that's the problem.
189
583515
2215
事实上，也许那时故意为之的。
10:01
And so, little Ajax was born.
190
585730
2681
因此，小Ajax诞生了。
10:04
He's like our other children,
191
588411
2269
他向我们其他的孩子一样，
10:06
but the experience is completely different.
192
590680
1778
但是感受完全不一样。
10:08
It's something like my accident, right?
193
592458
4240
这有点像意外事故，对么？
10:12
He came out of nowhere.
194
596698
1275
他莫名其妙的就来了。
10:13
But we all had to change,
195
597973
1606
但是我们不得不改变，
10:15
but not just react to the given;
196
599579
2681
不是根据即成的是反映；
10:18
we bend to this new experience with intent.
197
602260
4559
我们要让新的经验充满目的性
10:22
We're five now. Five.
198
606819
4072
我们现在有五个（孩子）了。五个。
10:26
Facing the given with intent. Doing things by design.
199
610891
3912
面对已经给的目的。根据设计出来的事情做。
10:30
Hey, the name Ajax -- you can't get much more intentional than that, right?
200
614803
4232
嗨，他叫Ajax——你不能比这个更多的目的性，对么？
10:34
We're really hoping he thanks us for that later on.
201
619035
4240
我们真希望他以后能感谢我们
10:39
(Laughter)
202
623275
1833
（笑声）
10:41
But I never became a designer. No, no, no, no. Never attempted. Never even close.
203
625108
3899
但是我从来没有成为设计师。不，不，不，不。从来没有这个尝试。甚至没接近过。
10:44
I did love some great designs as I was growing up:
204
629007
4638
当我长大的时候我的确喜欢一些产品设计：
10:49
The HP 35S calculator -- God, I loved that thing. Oh God, I wish I had one.
205
633645
4367
HP 35S计算器——老天，我爱死那个东西了。老天，我多希望我能拥有一个。
10:53
Man, I love that thing.
206
638012
3450
哥们，我爱死那个了。
10:57
I could afford that.
207
641462
1223
我买的起。
10:58
Other designs I really couldn't afford, like the 1974 911 Targa.
208
642685
4639
另一些我喜欢大设计但是的确买不起，像1974 911 Targa（一种车的型号）
11:03
In school, I studied nothing close to design or engineering;
209
647324
3465
在学校，我学的和设计或者工程一点不沾边；
11:06
I studied useless things like the Classics,
210
650789
2319
我学习没有用的像古典文学，
11:09
but there were some lessons even there --
211
653108
1817
但是还是有一些课程的
11:10
this guy, Plato, it turns out he's a designer.
212
654925
3264
这家伙，柏拉图，原来是个设计师。
11:14
He designed a state in "The Republic,"
213
658189
3423
他设计了国家的“理想国”
11:17
a design never implemented.
214
661612
1491
一个从来没有被实施的设计。
11:19
Listen to one of the design features
215
663103
1685
听一下柏拉图设计的
11:20
of Plato's Government 4.0:
216
664788
3024
政府4.0版的特色
11:23
"The State in which the rulers are most reluctant to govern
217
667812
4560
“在那些统治者不情愿实行统治的国家
11:28
is always the best and most quietly governed,
218
672372
2936
往往治理的比较好且安稳，
11:31
and the State in which they are most eager, the worst."
219
675308
4072
越是渴望统治国家的君主，他们的国家反而更糟”
11:35
Well, got that wrong, didn't we?
220
679380
2944
这有错吗，我们搞错了吗？
11:38
But look at that statement; it's all about intent. That's what I love about it.
221
682324
4297
但是看到这样的表述；充满意图。这正是我喜爱的。
11:42
But consider what Plato is doing here. What is he doing?
222
686621
3455
但是考虑一下如果柏拉图在这里。他会做些什么？
11:45
It's a grand idea of design -- a huge idea of design,
223
690076
3520
这是一个广义的设计——一个大想法的设计，
11:49
common to all of the voices of religion and philosophy
224
693596
3717
对于所有的出现在古典时期的
11:53
that emerged in the Classical period.
225
697313
2240
宗教和哲学都适用。
11:55
What was going on then?
226
699553
1433
接下来要怎样？
11:56
They were trying to answer the question of
227
700986
2136
他们将尝试回答这个问题
11:59
what would human beings do now that they were no longer simply trying to survive?
228
703122
4966
当人类不再为生存而挣扎的时候人类在做什么？
12:03
As the human race emerged from a prehistoric chaos,
229
708088
4441
当人类诞生于史前混乱时，
12:08
a confrontation with random, brutal nature,
230
712529
4424
与残酷，混乱的自然对峙，
12:12
they suddenly had a moment to think -- and there was a lot to think about.
231
716953
3584
他们有一刻突然开始思考，而且确实有很多要去思考
12:16
All of a sudden, human existence needed an intent.
232
720537
4127
突然，人类存在一种对意图的需要
12:20
Human life needed a reason.
233
724664
2715
人类的生活需要一个原由。
12:23
Reality itself needed a designer.
234
727379
3022
现实本身需要一个设计师。
12:26
The given was replaced
235
730401
2392
需求被各种形式的意图取代
12:28
by various aspects of intent,
236
732793
2624
意图取代
12:31
by various designs,
237
735417
2584
由那些多种多样的设计师
12:33
by various gods.
238
738001
2280
各种各样的神
12:36
Gods we're still fighting about. Oh yeah.
239
740281
3944
我们仍然和神在抗争。我的老天。
12:40
Today we don't confront the chaos of nature.
240
744225
3160
现在我们不用面对自然的混乱。
12:43
Today it is the chaos of humanity's impact on the Earth itself that we confront.
241
747385
5880
现在的我们面对的混乱是人对地球的影响
12:49
This young discipline called design, I think,
242
753265
3280
这个年轻的学科叫做设计，我想，
12:52
is in fact the emerging ethos
243
756545
3267
这实际上是一种正在形成的新兴的社会思潮
12:55
formulating and then answering a very new question:
244
759812
2918
然后我们要回答一个新的问题
12:58
What shall we do now
245
762730
1599
我们现在能做什么
13:00
in the face of the chaos that we have created?
246
764329
3743
去面对我们所制造的混乱？
13:03
What shall we do?
247
768072
1904
我们能做什么？
13:05
How shall we inscribe intent
248
769976
2466
我们如何在我们所创造的
13:08
on all the objects we create,
249
772442
2303
事物上赋予意图，
13:10
on all the circumstances we create,
250
774745
1976
所有我们创造的环境，
13:12
on all the places we change?
251
776721
2607
在所有我们改变的地方？
13:15
The consequences of a planet with 7 billion people and counting.
252
779328
4128
这个70亿人并人口持续增长的星球上的后果。
13:19
That's the tune we're all covering today, all of us.
253
783456
4369
这就是今天我们所有人要承担的后果，所有人。
13:23
And we can't just imitate the past. No.
254
787825
2536
我们不能仅仅模仿过去。不。
13:26
That won't do.
255
790361
2834
不能那样做。
13:29
That won't do at all.
256
793195
1775
完全不能这样做。
13:30
Here's my favorite design moment:
257
794970
3007
这是一个我最喜欢的设计：
13:33
In the city of Kinshasa in Zaire in the 1990s,
258
797977
3408
在1990年在扎伊尔金沙萨，
13:37
I was working for ABC News, and I was reporting on
259
801385
2288
我为为美国广播公司工作，我播报
13:39
the fall of Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator, the brutal dictator in Zaire,
260
803673
4144
推翻蒙博托·塞塞·塞科，扎伊尔的残暴独裁者，
13:43
who raped and pillaged that country.
261
807817
2000
他残暴并抢劫整个国家。
13:45
There was rioting in the middle of Kinshasa.
262
809817
2568
当时在金沙萨的中部发生暴乱
13:48
The place was falling apart; it was a horrible, horrible place,
263
812385
3481
那个地区很快就崩溃了；变得恐怖，非常恐怖，
13:51
and I needed to go and explore the center of Kinshasa
264
815866
3871
我需要去金沙萨的中心探索
13:55
to report on the rioting and the looting.
265
819737
2023
去报到暴乱和抢劫。
13:57
People were carrying off vehicles, carrying off pieces of buildings.
266
821760
3786
人们在车中，和建筑物中都会丧命
14:01
Soldiers were in the streets shooting at looters and herding some in mass arrests.
267
825546
4695
士兵在街道上射杀抢劫者或者把他们拘捕到一起。
14:06
In the middle of this chaos, I'm rolling around in a wheelchair,
268
830241
3514
我在混乱的中心滚着轮椅，
14:09
and I was completely invisible. Completely.
269
833755
3750
我完全就是隐形的，完全。
14:13
I was in a wheelchair; I didn't look like a looter.
270
837505
2770
我坐在轮椅，完全不像抢劫者。
14:16
I was in a wheelchair; I didn't look like a journalist, particularly, at least from their perspective.
271
840275
6182
我在轮椅上；一点也不像是旅游者，特别，至少是他们无视。
14:22
And I didn't look like a soldier, that's for sure.
272
846457
2240
并且我看起来也不像是士兵，那是确定的。
14:24
I was part of this sort of background noise of the misery of Zaire, completely invisible.
273
848697
6295
我是混乱的扎伊尔的一种背景噪声，完全隐身。
14:30
And all of a sudden, from around a corner, comes this young man, paralyzed, just like me,
274
854992
5097
突然，从周边的一个角落，过来一个年轻人，瘫痪了，向我一样，
14:35
in this metal and wood and leather
275
860089
3720
在一个金属，木材，皮革脚踏板，
14:39
pedal, three-wheel tricycle-wheelchair device,
276
863809
5025
三个轮子的轮椅上，
14:44
and he pedals up to me as fast as he can.
277
868834
2464
他踏着踏板尽全速向我驶来
14:47
He goes, "Hey, mister! Mister!"
278
871298
1775
他过来了，“嗨，先生！先生！”
14:48
And I looked at him --
279
873073
2297
我看着他——
14:51
he didn't know any other English than that, but we didn't need English, no, no, no, no, no.
280
875370
3584
除此之外他不会别的英语了，但是我们不需要英语，不，不，不，不，不。
14:54
We sat there and compared wheels and tires and spokes and tubes.
281
878954
5871
我们坐在并排那里轮子辐条管子对齐
15:00
And I looked at his whacky pedal mechanism;
282
884825
3425
我看着他的疯狂的脚踏机械；
15:04
he was full of pride over his design.
283
888250
3240
他对自己的设计非常自豪。
15:07
I wish I could show you that contraption.
284
891490
1849
我真想向你展示那个精巧的设计
15:09
His smile, our glow
285
893339
2127
他微笑，我们热情洋溢
15:11
as we talked a universal language
286
895466
2511
我们交流着一种关于设计的宇宙
15:13
of design,
287
897977
2712
通用语言
15:16
invisible to the chaos around us.
288
900689
2817
我们在周边的混乱中隐身了。
15:19
His machine: homemade, bolted, rusty, comical.
289
903506
4056
他的设备：家庭制造，用螺栓栓的，生锈的，滑稽的。
15:23
My machine: American-made, confident, sleek.
290
907562
3298
我的设备：美国制造，自信的，井然有序的。
15:26
He was particularly proud of the comfortable seat, really comfortable seat
291
910860
4222
他对舒服的座椅特别的自豪，实在是一个舒服的座椅
15:30
he had made in his chariot
292
915082
1916
他为他的二轮战车
15:32
and its beautiful fabric fringe around the edge.
293
916998
4427
并且有漂亮的布穗在边缘。
15:37
Oh, I wish I'd had those sparkly wheels back then to have shown him, man!
294
921425
3984
噢，我真希望我那些闪光的轮子装回去给那哥们秀一下！
15:41
He would have loved those! Oh yeah.
295
925409
2745
他一定会爱上那些的！噢呀！
15:44
He would have understood those;
296
928154
1592
他也本该理解这些的。
15:45
a chariot of pure intent -- think about it --
297
929746
3468
一个纯意图的二轮车——想想吧——
15:49
in a city out of control.
298
933214
2612
在一个失控的城市。
15:51
Design blew it all away for a moment.
299
935826
3048
设计在那一刻吹遍每一个角落。
15:54
We spoke for a few minutes and then each of us vanished back into the chaos.
300
938874

我们聊了几分钟然后然后各自销声匿迹回混乱。
15:58
He went back to the streets of Kinshasa;
301
943018
2419
他回到了金沙萨的街道
16:01
I went to my hotel. And I think of him now, now ...
302
945437
5982
我回到了旅店。我现在还想着他，现在...
16:07
And I pose this question.
303
951419
3062
我提出这个问题来讨论。
16:10
An object imbued with intent --
304
954481
3553
每个事物被灌输意图——
16:13
it has power,
305
958034
1664
他将由能量，
16:15
it's treasure, we're drawn to it.
306
959698
3400
这个很宝贵，我们被他吸引。
16:18
An object devoid of intent --
307
963098
2632
一个事物缺乏意图——
16:21
it's random, it's imitative,
308
965730
2512
它是混乱，它是模仿的，
16:24
it repels us. It's like a piece of junk mail to be thrown away.
309
968242
3680
它使我们厌恶。它就像废信封一样被遗弃。
16:27
This is what we must demand of our lives,
310
971922
4751
这就是我们要从生活中探寻的，
16:32
of our objects, of our things, of our circumstances:
311
976673
3825
从身边的物品，从身边的事情，从周围的环境：
16:36
living with intent.
312
980498
3096
有意图的生活。
16:39
And I have to say
313
983594
2104
我不得不说
16:41
that on that score, I have a very unfair advantage over all of you.
314
985698
5031
在这一点上，我有一个对于你们来说，不公平的优点
16:46
And I want to explain it to you now because this is a very special day.
315
990729
5705
我想将它向你表述因为这是非常特别的一天。
16:52
Thirty-six years ago at nearly this moment,
316
996434
4935
36年前的这个时刻，
16:57
a 19-year-old boy awoke from a coma
317
1001369
4156
一个19岁的男孩从昏迷中醒来
17:01
to ask a nurse a question,
318
1005525
1797
去问护士一个问题，
17:03
but the nurse was already there with an answer.
319
1007322
2480
但是护士已经准备好了答案。
17:05
"You've had a terrible accident, young man. You've broken your back.
320
1009802
3703
“你遭遇了非常糟糕的事故，年轻人。你后背受伤了。
17:09
You'll never walk again."
321
1013505
1641
你再也不会站起来了。”
17:11
I said, "I know all that -- what day is it?"
322
1015146
5616
我说,“这个我都知道——今天是哪天？”
17:16
You see, I knew that the car had gone over the guardrail on the 28th of February,
323
1020762
7024
你看，我知道了车子是28日周五冲过了护栏，
17:23
and I knew that 1976 was a leap year.
324
1027786
3649
并知道了1976年是闰年。
17:27
"Nurse! Is this the 28th or the 29th?"
325
1031435
4710
“护士！这是28号还是29号？”
17:32
And she looked at me and said,
326
1036145
1993
她看着我说道，
17:34
"It's March 1st."
327
1038138
2575
“是3月1日”
17:36
And I went, "Oh my God.
328
1040713
2481
我知道了，"哦，我的上帝。
17:39
I've got some catching up to do!"
329
1043194
2536
我要有一些事情要做了 ！"
17:41
And from that moment, I knew
330
1045730
2672
从那一时刻起，我知道
17:44
the given was that accident;
331
1048402
3248
是那起事故造成了这些；
17:47
I had no option but to make up
332
1051650
3688
我没有选择的余地除非
17:51
this new life without walking.
333
1055338
3056
构造新的不能行走的生活。
17:54
Intent -- a life with intent --
334
1058394
3808
意图——人生的意图——
17:58
lived by design,
335
1062202
1824
被设计的生活
17:59
covering the original
336
1064026
1616
用更好的
18:01
with something better.
337
1065642
1560
覆盖原有的。
18:03
It's something for all of us to do or find a way to do in these times.
338
1067202
5080
这是对于我们要做或找到一种方法，在这些时间做所有的事情。
18:08
To get back to this,
339
1072282
3342
回到这一点，
18:11
to get back to design,
340
1075624
2136
重新设计，
18:13
and as my daddy suggested a long time ago,
341
1077760
3401
作为我的爸爸建议很久以前，
18:17
"Make the song your own, John.
342
1081161
3287
“你自己来唱这首歌，约翰。
18:20
Show everybody what you intend."
343
1084448
5090
向每一个人展示你的想法”
18:39
Daddy,
344
1103430
2299
爸爸，
18:41
