You know, when Chris first approached me to speak at TED, I said no,
0
1000
5000
当克里斯第一次联系我邀请我在TED上做演讲，我拒绝了他。
00:31
because I felt like I wasn't going to be able
1
6000
2000
因为我想我不能做到
00:33
to make that personal connection, you know, that I wanted to.
2
8000
3000
和观众建立很亲密的关系，但是那我想要去做的。
00:36
It's such a large conference.
3
11000
2000
TED是一个很大的会议。
00:38
But he explained to me that he was in a bind,
4
13000
2000
但是他向我解释他处在困境之中
00:40
and that he was having trouble finding the kind of sex appeal
5
15000
4000
他找不到特别有吸引力
00:44
and star power that the conference was known for --
6
19000
2000
以及TED会议所闻名的那种明星气质的人。
00:46
(Laughter)
7
21000
1000
笑声
00:47
so I said fine, Ted -- I mean Chris. I'll come on two conditions.
8
22000
5000
那我说好吧，Ted——我向克里斯表达我的意思。但是我来要有两个条件。
00:52
One -- I want to speak as early in the morning as possible.
9
27000
5000
第一：我要尽可能的早，最好在早晨开始我的演讲。
00:57
And two -- I want to pick the theme for TED 2006.
10
32000
4000
那么第二个是 我要我选取的主题成为TED2006年的一个演讲主题
01:01
And luckily he agreed. And the theme, in two years,
11
36000
5000
幸运的是，他竟然同意啦！那么两年之后你们会看到我的演讲的主题
01:06
is going to be "Cute Pictures Of Puppies."
12
41000
2000
将是 “可爱的小狗图片”
01:08
(Laughter)
13
43000
1000
笑声
01:43
(Applause)
14
78000
4000
掌声
01:47
I invented the Placebo Camera.
15
82000
4000
我发明了用着安慰剂效果的照相机
01:51
(Laughter)
16
86000
2000
笑声
01:53
It doesn't actually take pictures, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper,
17
88000
4000
实际上，它并非用来拍照的，可是这家伙相当的便宜，
01:57
and you still feel like you were there.
18
92000
2000
你会一直感觉你就在那里
01:59
(Laughter)
19
94000
11000
笑声
02:10
"Dear Sir, Good day, compliments of the day, and my best wishes
20
105000
4000
亲爱的先生，多么美好的一天，充满赞美的一天。让我祝福
02:14
to you and family. I know this letter will come to you surprisingly,
21
109000
5000
您和您的家人吧！我知道这封信的到来会让你倍感以外
02:19
but let it not be a surprise to you,
22
114000
2000
但是它对你来说已经不是什么令人惊奇的事物啦。
02:21
for nature has a way of arriving unannounced,
23
116000
2000
从本质上 它只是不期而至的方式来临的。
02:23
and, as an adage says, originals are very hard to find,
24
118000
3000
正如古训所说，声源是难以寻找到的，
02:26
but their echoes sound louder. So I decided to contact you myself,
25
121000
5000
但是他们的回声声音很大。因此我还是直接来找你吧。
02:31
for you to assure me of safety and honesty,
26
126000
2000
这样是为了让你确保我的人生安全和体现我对你的诚实。
02:33
if I have to entrust any amount of money under your custody.
27
128000
4000
如果在你入狱的时候，我接受任何款项的委托。
02:37
I am Mister Michael Bangoora, the son of late Mister Tiamu Bangoora --
28
132000
6000
我就是Micheal Bangoora先生，是死去的Tiamu Bangoora的先生之子——
02:43
(Laughter)
29
138000
1000
（笑声）
02:44
who was the Minister of Finance in Sierra Leone --
30
139000
2000
Tiamu Bangoora 曾经是非洲西部塞拉利昂国家的财政部长。
02:46
(Applause)
31
141000
1000
（鼓掌）
02:47
but was killed during a civil war.
32
142000
2000
但是他战死在内战时期
02:49
(Laughter)
33
144000
1000
（笑声）
02:50
Knowing your country to be economical conducive for investment,
34
145000
3000
众所周知你的国家是一个非常适合经济投资的国家
02:53
and your people as transparent and trustworthy to engage in business,
35
148000
3000
你的人民非常信任的投生于商业之中。
02:56
on which premise I write you.
36
151000
2000
这些就在我写给你的信中所提到前提条件。
02:58
(Laughter)
37
153000
2000
（笑声）
03:00
Before my father death,
38
155000
1000
在我父亲死之前，
03:01
he had the sum of 23 million United States dollars,
39
156000
4000
他一共拥有2.3亿美元
03:05
which he kept away from the rebel leaders
40
160000
1000
这些钱可以让他远离那些反叛份子头头
03:06
during the course of the war.
41
161000
2000
在内战期间
03:08
(Laughter)
42
163000
3000
（笑声）
03:11
This fund was supposed to be used
43
166000
2000
这些钱本来是用来
03:13
for the rehabilitation of water reserves all over the country,
44
168000
3000
修复全国范围内的水坝修复
03:16
before the outbreak of war. When the war broke out,
45
171000
3000
在战争爆发之前。当战争爆发之时，
03:19
the rebel leader demanded that the fund be given to him,
46
174000
3000
反叛分子的首领要求我的父亲把那些钱交给他，
03:22
my father insisted it was not in his possession,
47
177000
4000
然而我的父亲坚持说这不是他的财产
03:26
and he was killed because of his refusal to release the fund.
48
181000
3000
之后他被杀害了，是因为他拒绝交出那笔钱。
03:29
Meanwhile, my mother and I is the only person who knows about the fund
49
184000
3000
与此同时，在这个世上，只有我和我的母亲知道这笔钱的去处。
03:32
because my father always confide in me.
50
187000
4000
因为我的父亲总是会向我吐露秘密。
03:36
I quickly made an arrangement with a Red Cross relief worker,
51
191000
2000
我很快和国际红十字会的救援人员达成协议
03:38
who used his official van to transport the money to Lungi Airport, Freetown,
52
193000
3000
他将会用红十字会的面包车把这些钱运送到在自由镇的Lungi机场
03:41
although he did not know the real contents of the box.
53
196000
3000
尽管他们并不知道这箱子里到底装了什么东西。
03:44
(Laughter)
54
199000
1000
（笑声）
03:45
The fund was deposited as a family reassure,
55
200000
4000
我们家人很放心地把那些钱储藏
03:49
in a safe, reliable security company in Dakar, Senegal,
56
204000
4000
在塞内加尔首都达喀尔一个相当安全，可靠的保安公司那里。
03:53
where I was only given temporary asylum.
57
208000
2000
我只是把那里当成我的暂时庇护。
03:55
I do not wish to invest the money in Senegal
58
210000
3000
我可不想把这些钱投资在塞内加尔。
03:58
due to unfavorable economic climate, and so close to my country.
59
213000
4000
是因为那里不好的经济形势，和我的国家也差不多。
04:02
The only assistance I need from you, which I know you would do for me,
60
217000
5000
我只想要你们帮我一把，我也知道你们会帮助我
04:07
are the following: one, be a silent partner
61
222000
2000
如下：第一，成为一个沉默的合作者
04:09
and receive the funds in your account in trust;
62
224000
3000
接受这笔钱并托管于你的账户之下；
04:12
two, provide a bank account under your control
63
227000
3000
第二，提供给我一个你可靠的银行账户
04:15
to which the funds will be remitted;
64
230000
2000
这笔钱将会汇入到你的账户里；
04:17
three, receive the funds into your account in trust;
65
232000
4000
第三，接受这笔钱并托管于你的账户之下
04:21
take out your commission; and leave the rest of the money
66
236000
3000
拿出你所需的佣金，把剩余的资金留下来
04:24
until I arrive, after the transfer is complete.
67
239000
3000
直到我来到，在所有的资金转入完成之后。
04:27
Sincerely, Mister Michael Bangoora."
68
242000
2000
真诚的Michae Bangoora 先生。
04:29
(Laughter)
69
244000
1000
（笑声）
04:30
(Applause)
70
245000
7000
（掌声）
04:37
This is really embarrassing.
71
252000
2000
这真的很令人尴尬。
04:39
I was told backstage that I have 18 minutes.
72
254000
4000
我在后台的时候被告知，我在台上会有18分钟
04:43
I only prepared 15.
73
258000
1000
然而我只准备了15分钟。
04:44
(Laughter)
74
259000
2000
（笑声）
04:46
So if it's cool, I'd like to just wait for three.
75
261000
4000
所以呢，为了让这变得酷一点，我就在这儿多等三分钟吧！
04:50
(Laughter)
76
265000
8000
（笑声）
04:58
I'm really sorry.
77
273000
2000
我非常报歉。
05:00
(Laughter)
78
275000
3000

05:11

82
286000
6000

1000
（笑声）
05:21
I mean -- no, I mean like in the TED sense?
86
296000
2000
我的意思是说，不，我的意思 从TED的意味上来说 是不是呢？
05:23
(Laughter)
87
298000
1000
（笑声）
05:24
Are you? Oh, yeah. So what are you,
88
299000
4000
你是？哦，这样的话你是
05:28
like, a thousand, two thousand, somewhere in there? Huh? Oh?
89
303000
5000
像这样 1000个，2000个人 在某些方面一样吧？啊？哦？
05:33
You don't know what I'm talking about?
90
308000
2000
你不明白我在说什么呀？
05:35
(Laughter)
91
310000
5000
（笑声）
05:40
Ah, Mark --
92
315000
2000
啊，Mark
05:42
(Laughter)
93
317000
3000
（笑声）
05:45
Serfaas.
94
320000

Serfass.
05:47
(Laughter)
95
322000
6000
（笑声）
05:53
1,860 -- am I good?
96
328000
2000
1860个，我是正确的吗？
05:55
(Laughter)
97
330000
1000
（笑声）
05:56
And that's nothing to be ashamed of.
98
331000
2000
这没有什么好羞耻的。
05:58
That's nothing to be ashamed of.
99
333000
2000
这没有什么好羞耻的。
06:00
(Applause)
100
335000
4000
（掌声）
06:04
Yeah, I was hanging out with some Google guys last night.
101
339000
4000
是的，昨天晚上我和一些谷歌的那些家伙出去玩。
06:08
Really cool, we were getting wasted.
102
343000
2000
非常酷哦，我们一起打发时间。
06:10
(Laughter)
103
345000
3000
（笑声）
06:13
And they were telling me that Google software has gotten so advanced
104
348000
4000
他们告诉我Google软件非常先进。
06:17
that, based on your interaction with Google over your lifetime,
105
352000
4000
它会依据你一生与Google接触而来为你服务，
06:21
they can actually predict what you are going to say next.
106
356000
3000
所以它能预测你接下来做什么。
06:24
(Laughter)
107
359000
3000
（笑声）
06:27
And I was like, "Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy."
108
362000
3000
像我这样，“快给我滚出去，这太疯狂啦。”
06:30
(Laughter)
109
365000
2000
（笑声）
06:32
But they said, "No, but don't show anyone," but they slipped up.
110
367000
6000
但是他们会说“不，但是不要说出来。"但是他们说漏嘴
06:38
And they said that I could just type in "What was I going to say next?"
111
373000
4000
他们说我能打出我将要说出的话。
06:42
and my name, and it would tell me. And I have to tell you, right now,
112
377000
3000
例如我的名字，它会告诉我。而我马上不得不告诉你们
06:45
this is an unadulterated piece of software,
113
380000
1000
这还不是一款很成熟的软件。
06:46
this is a real Internet browser and this is an actual Google site,
114
381000
4000
这是一个真正的网络浏览器，这就是实实在在的谷歌网站。
06:50
and we're going to test it out live today.
115
385000
3000
今天我们在这里现场测试一下。
06:53
What was I going to say next? And "Ze Frank" -- that's me.
116
388000
10000
接下来我将会说什么呢？Ze Frank 这是我。
07:03
Am I feeling lucky?
117
398000
1000
我是不是很幸运吧？
07:04
(Laughter)
118
399000
2000
（笑声）
07:06
Am I feeling lucky?
119
401000
2000
我是不是很幸运呢？
07:08
Audience: Yes.
120
403000
2000
是的，观众们。
07:10
(Laughter)
121
405000
3000
（笑声）
07:13
Ze Frank: Oh. Amazing.
122
408000
3000
Ze Frank ，哦，太奇妙啦！
07:16
(Laughter)
123
411000

07:22
In March of 2001 --
124
417000
2000
2001年3月
07:24
(Laughter)
125
419000
2000
（笑声）
07:26
I filmed myself dancing to Madonna's "Justify My Love."
126
421000
6000
我正在为麦当娜“证明我的爱”专辑拍摄我的舞蹈。
07:32
On a Thursday, I sent out a link to a website
127
427000
2000
在星期四，我将会把它发到网站上去，
07:34
that featured those clips to 17 of my closest friends,
128
429000
3000
这其中会包括我最亲密朋友一些剪辑
07:37
as part of my -- an invitation to my -- an invitation to my th --
129
432000
7000
作为我一份邀请，邀请你们来参加
07:44
th -- 26th birthday party.
130
439000
3000
我的26岁生日party。
07:47
(Laughter)
131
442000
2000
（笑声）
07:49
By Monday, over a million people
132
444000
3000
知道星期一，超过一百万人
07:52
were coming to this site a day.
133
447000
5000
一天内访问这个网站。
07:57
(Laughter)
134
452000
3000
（笑声）
08:00
Within a week, I received a call from Earthlink that said,
135
455000
4000
在一周内，我接到来自Earthlink网络服务提供商一个电话说，
08:04
due to a 10 cents per megabyte overage charge,
136
459000
2000
我网站流量超过十分之一GB超额费用
08:06
I owed them 30,000 dollars.
137
461000
2000
我欠他们3000美元。
08:08
(Laughter)
138
463000
2000
（笑声）
08:10
Needless to say, I was able to leave my job.
139
465000
4000
不必说，我只能丢下我的工作啦
08:14
(Laughter)
140
469000
4000
（笑声）
08:18
And, finally, you know, become freelance.
141
473000
3000
正如你们所致，最后，我成为一个自由职业人。
08:21
(Laughter)
142
476000
3000
（笑声）
08:24
But some people refer to me more of -- as, like, an Internet guru or --
143
479000
3000
但是一些人把我当做不仅仅是网络专家或者是
08:27
(Laughter)
144
482000
1000
（笑声）
08:28
swami.
145
483000
1000
网络导师
08:29
(Laughter)
146
484000
2000
（笑声）
08:31
I -- I knew I had something.
147
486000
2000
我知道我有些像这类人吧
08:33
I'd basically distilled a very difficult-to-explain
148
488000
4000
根本上来说，我很难解释
08:37
and complex philosophy, which I won't get into here,
149
492000
4000
复杂的哲学，我也将不会去了解它，
08:41
because it's a little too deep for all of you, but --
150
496000
3000
因为这对我来说有点点深奥，但是——
08:44
(Laughter)
151
499000
1000
（笑声）
08:45
it's about what makes websites popular, and, you know, it's --
152
500000
5000
它使网络流行起来，
08:50
(Laughter)
153
505000
2000
（笑声）
08:52
it's unfortunate that I don't have more time.
154
507000
1000
但是不幸的是我没有太多的时间来解释。
08:53
Maybe I can come back next year, or something like that.
155
508000
5000
也许明年我会再回来，说说这个问题。
08:58
(Laughter)
156
513000
2000
（笑声）
09:00
I'm obsessed with email. I get a lot of it.
157
515000
3000
我对电子邮件很痴迷。而且我了解很多
09:03
Four years later, I still get probably two or three hundred emails a day
158
518000
4000
四年之后，我仍会每天接到可能200到300封电子邮件。
09:07
from people I don't know, and it's been an amazing opportunity
159
522000
5000
它们来自于我并不知情的人们，这对我来说是一次绝佳的机会
09:12
to kind of get to know different cultures, you know?
160
527000
4000
去了解不同的文化。难道不是吗？
09:16
It's like a microscope to the rest of the world.
161
531000
3000
这就好像一个显微镜一样观察整个世界。
09:19
You can kind of peer into other people's lives,
162
534000
3000
你甚至能窥见别人的生活。
09:22
and I also feel like I get a lot of inspiration
163
537000
5000
我也得到很多灵感
09:27
from the average user.
164
542000
2000
来自于普通的网络使用者。
09:29
For example, somebody wrote me.
165
544000
1000
例如，一些人写信给我
09:30
They said, "Hey Ze, if you ever come to Boulder,
166
545000
3000
他们说，“嗨，ze，你来过博尔德没有？½
09:33
you should rock out with us," and I said, "Why wait?"
167
548000
2000
你可以和我们一起混，”我说“为什么要等待呢？”
09:40
And they said, "Hey Ze, thanks for rocking out,
168
555000
3000
他们说，“嗨，ze，感谢你滚出来，
09:43
but I meant the kind of rocking out where we'd be naked."
169
558000
2000
但我的意思是我们裸奔出来。
09:45
(Laughter)
170
560000
2000
（笑声）
09:47
And that was embarrassing.
171
562000
1000
这真的很令人尴尬。
09:48
But you know, it's kind of a collaboration
172
563000
3000
但是正如你们所知道的，这就是一种所谓的合作。
09:51
between me and the fans, so I said, "Sure."
173
566000
4000
在我和我的粉丝之间的合作，所以我得说“是的”
09:55
(Laughter)
174
570000
5000
（笑声）
10:00
I hear a lot of you whispering.
175
575000
2000
我听见你们很多人在窃窃私语
10:02
(Laughter)
176
577000
2000
（笑声）
10:04
And I know what you're saying. You're saying, "Holy crap,
177
579000
3000
我知道你们正在说些什么，你刚才在说“一派胡言，
10:07
how is his presentation so smooth?"
178
582000
2000
他的演讲怎么会这么流畅呢？”
10:09
(Laughter)
179
584000
3000
（笑声）
10:12
And I have to say that it's not all me this year.
180
587000
3000
我不得不说，今年这可不全是我。
10:15
I guess Chris has to take some credit here, because in years past,
181
590000
5000
我猜克里斯一定很相信这些，因为在过去的几年中，
10:20
I guess there's been some sort of subpar speakers at TED. I don't know.
182
595000
3000
我猜在TED的讲台上有过这么一些不够格的演讲者。我可不知道哦。
10:23
(Laughter)
183
598000
1000
（笑声）
10:24
And so, this year, Chris sent us a TED Conference simulator.
184
599000
4000
所以，今年，克里斯向我们引进Ted大会的模拟器
10:28
(Laughter)
185
603000
1000
（笑声）
10:29
Which really allowed us as speakers to get there, in the trenches,
186
604000
6000
它会让我们这些演讲者感觉到站在讲台上的感觉
10:35
and practice at home so that we would be ready for this experience.
187
610000
4000
让我们多次在家练习，以至于我们对这样的演讲有着充足的经验。
10:39
And I gotta say that, you know, it's really, really great to be here.
188
614000
4000
我不得不说，它在这里做得非常棒！
10:43
(Applause)
189
618000
3000
（鼓掌）
10:46
I'd like to tell all of you a little joke. Not just the good stuff, though.
190
621000
8000
我想告诉你们一个小笑话。但又没什么大不了的
10:54
You can do heckler mode.
191
629000
1000
你们能扮演诘问别人风格的人
10:55
Voice: Hey, moron, get off the stage.
192
630000
3000
声音：嗨，蠢蛋，快滚下来。
10:58
ZF: You get off the stage.
193
633000
2000
ZF：你滚下台来。
11:00
(Laughter)
194
635000
2000
（笑声）
11:02
Voice: We want Malcolm Gladwell.
195
637000
2000
声音：我们想要看Malcolm Gladwell。
11:04
(Laughter)
196
639000
7000
（笑声）
11:11
(Applause)
197
646000
5000
（笑声）
11:16
In case you run over time.
198
651000
2000
你就在浪费我们的时间。
11:18
I'd -- just one last thing I'd like to say, I'd, really --
199
653000
3000
我想说最后一件事，我真的想说——
11:21
(Laughter)
200
656000
2000
（笑声）
11:23
like to thank all of you for being here.
201
658000
3000
感谢你们的到来！
11:26
(Laughter)
202
661000
2000
（笑声）
11:28
And frog mode.
203
663000
2000
青蛙风格的
11:41
(Sings) "Ah, the first time that I made love to a rock shrimp ..."
204
676000
4000
我第一次爱上了一只石虾。
11:45
(Laughter)
205
680000
2000
（笑声）
11:47
(Laughter)
206
682000
2000
（笑声）
11:49
(Applause)
207
684000
4000
（鼓掌）
11:53
It's true. Some people say to me,
208
688000
2000
这是真的。一些人对我说，
11:55
they say, "Ze, you're doing all this stuff, this Internet stuff,
209
690000
5000
他们说，泽，你正在做这样一堆东西，这些网络这样的东西
12:00
and you're not making any money.
210
695000
2000
但是你又不赚钱。
12:02
(Laughter)
211
697000
2000
（笑声）
12:04
"Why?" And I say, "Mom, Dad --
212
699000
2000
为什么呢？我说“妈妈，爸爸——
12:06
(Laughter)
213
701000
4000
（笑声）
12:10
"I'm trying." You know, I don't know if you're all aware of this,
214
705000
4000
我说：“你们知道 ，我不知道你们是否意识到这些，
12:14
but the video -- the video game market,
215
709000
2000
就是视频——视频游戏这块市场。
12:16
kids are playing these video games, oh,
216
711000
2000
孩子们都在玩视频游戏，
12:18
but, supposedly, there's tons of money.
217
713000
2000
所以可以想象，这里存在几吨的金钱的市场。
12:20
I mean, like, I think, 100,000 dollars or so a year is being spent
218
715000
5000
我的意思是，像十万美元，我一年就花光了在
12:25
on these things. So I decided to try my hand.
219
720000
4000
这些事上。所以我决定试试我的身手，
12:29
I came up with a few games.
220
724000
2000
我自己构想好一款游戏。
12:31
(Laughter)
221
726000
3000
（笑声）
12:34
This is called "Atheist."
222
729000
1000
这款游戏的名字叫“无神论者”
12:35
I figured it'd be popular with the young kids.
223
730000
3000
我想小孩子们一定很喜欢这款游戏的。
12:38
Look, I'll move around and say some things.
224
733000
4000
看，我四处在走，还说些什么呢
12:45
(Laughter)
225
740000
3000
（笑声）
12:48
(Applause)
226
743000
1000
（鼓掌）
12:49
So that didn't go over so well.
227
744000
2000
所以这样不会重复做同样的动作。
12:51
(Laughter)
228
746000
3000
（笑声）
12:54
I don't really understand why you're laughing.
229
749000
2000
我明白你们为什么会笑。
12:56
(Laughter)
230
751000
2000
（笑声）
12:58
Should have done this before I tried to pitch it.
231
753000
3000
我试着改变模式之前，你们以前做过这些。
13:01
"Buddhist," of course, looks very, very similar to "Atheist."
232
756000
5000
“佛教徒”当然，看起来与“无神论者”非常相似。
13:06
(Laughter)
233
761000
1000
（笑声）
13:07
But you come back as a duck.
234
762000
2000
之后，你成为了一只鸭子
13:09
(Laughter)
235
764000
6000
（笑声）
13:15
And this is great because, you know, for a quarter,
236
770000
2000
这是一个非常好的游戏，因为你知道只花25美分
13:17
you can play this for a long time.
237
772000
2000
你可以把这游戏玩得很长一段时间。
13:19
(Laughter)
238
774000
2000
（笑声）
13:21
And Chris had said in an email that, you know,
239
776000
2000
克里斯曾经在电子邮件中说过，
13:23
we should really bring something new to TED,
240
778000
2000
我们应该为TED大会带来一些新的东西
13:25
something that we haven't shown anyone.
241
780000
1000
一些我们从没有向大家展示的东西。
13:26
So, I made this for TED. It's "Christian."
242
781000
5000
所以，我为TED制作这个，它是“基督教徒”
13:31
It's the third in the series.
243
786000
1000
这只是一系列中的第三部。
13:32
I'm hoping it's going to do well this year.
244
787000
2000
我希望它今年能表现好一些。
13:37
(Laughter)
245
792000
3000
（笑声）
13:40
Do you have a preference? Good choice.
246
795000
4000
你有什么喜好没有？好的选择。
13:44
(Laughter)
247
799000
4000
（笑声）
13:48
So you can wait for the Second Coming -- (Laughter)
248
803000
2000
我们等着第二个出场——（笑声）
13:50
which is --
249
805000
1000
它是
13:51
(Laughter)
250
806000
1000
（笑声）
13:52
a random number between one and 500 million.
251
807000
3000
它是1到500万中的任意一个数字。
13:55
(Laughter)
252
810000
4000
（笑声）
13:59
So really, what are we talking about here? Oh, tech joy.
253
814000
4000
的确，我们在这里到底在说些什么？哦，只是一个技术玩笑。
14:03
(Laughter)
254
818000
2000
（笑声）
14:05
Tech joy, to me, means something,
255
820000
2000
对我来说，技术玩笑对我很重要。
14:07
because I get a lot of joy out of tech.
256
822000
3000
因为我从技术里面获得很多的快乐。
14:10
And in fact, making things using technology --
257
825000
4000
事实上，我们在制作一些东西就需要使用这些技术
14:14
and I'm being serious here, even though I'm using my sarcastic voice --
258
829000
3000
我在这里非常认真的说，尽管我用讽刺的语气
14:17
I won't -- hold on. Making things, you know --
259
832000
5000
我不会——坚持住。制作东西
14:22
making things actually does give me a lot of joy.
260
837000
3000
制作东西真正给了我很大的乐趣。
14:25
It's the process of creation that keeps me sort of
261
840000
2000
这是一种创造的过程，这一过程一直让我保持着
14:27
a bubble and a half above perpetual anxiety in my life,
262
842000
4000
一种在我生活中恒久的焦虑。
14:31
and it's that feeling of being about 80 percent complete on a project --
263
846000
3000
这就是我完成80%的项目的感觉
14:34
where you know you still have something to do,
264
849000
2000
但是我仍有许多事情需要去做。
14:36
but it's not finished, and you're not starting something --
265
851000
4000
因为你没有完成一件事情，你是不能开始另一件事情的。
14:40
that really fills my entire life.
266
855000
2000
这就充满着我整个生活。
14:42
And so, what I've done is, I started getting interested
267
857000
3000
我已经做了的是，我开始对
14:45
in creating online social spaces to share that feeling
268
860000
4000
创造网络空间感兴趣。用这样的网络空间来与大家分享感受。
14:49
with people who don't consider themselves artists.
269
864000
3000
与那些认为自己并不是一个艺术家的人们分享感受。
14:52
We're in a culture of guru-ship. It's so hard to use some software
270
867000
4000
我们正在大师舰上的文化。我们很难运用一些软件。
14:56
because, you know, it's unapproachable,
271
871000
2000
因为它们是让人很难操作。
14:58
people feel like they have to read the manual.
272
873000
2000
人们会说他们不得不去阅读一下操作手册。
15:00
So I try to --
273
875000
2000
所以呢，我也试了——
15:02
(Laughter)
274
877000
1000
（笑声）
15:03
-- I try to create these very minimal activities
275
878000
3000
我试着创造一些微小的活动。
15:06
that allow people to express themselves, and, hopefully --
276
881000
4000
我希望这些活动让人们学会表达自己。
15:14
whoa, I'm like -- on the page, but it doesn't exist.
277
889000
6000
哦！我就在这个网页上的，但是它不存在了。
15:20
(Laughter)
278
895000
1000
（笑声）
15:21
It's, like -- seriously, though --
279
896000
3000
我认真的，但——
15:24
(Laughter)
280
899000
3000
（笑声）
15:27
I try to create meaningful environments
281
902000
2000
我尝试这创造一种有意义的环境。
15:29
for people to express themselves.
282
904000
2000
这种环境是为人们表达自己而创造的。
15:31
(Laughter)
283
906000
1000
（笑声）
15:32
Here I created a contest called, "When Office Supplies Attack,"
284
907000
4000
我创造一种竞赛叫做“办公用品攻击”
15:36
which, I think, really resonated with the --
285
911000
2000
我想这可引起一些人的共鸣
15:38
(Laughter)
286
913000
1000
（笑声）
15:39
working population.
287
914000
2000
特别是工作人群的共鸣
15:41
(Laughter)
288
916000
1000
（笑声）
15:42
Over 500 entries in three weeks, toilet paper fashion.
289
917000
6000
卫生纸时尚在三周内超过了500条
15:48
(Laughter)
290
923000
3000
（笑声）
15:51
Again, people from all over the country doing --
291
926000
2000
全国的人们又正
15:53
the watch is particularly incredible.
292
928000
2000
做一种难以置信的手表。
15:55
(Laughter)
293
930000
3000
（笑声）
15:58
Online drawing tools -- you've probably seen a lot of them.
294
933000
2000
在线画图工具——你也许曾经看到很多这类东西。
16:00
I think they're wonderful.
295
935000
2000
我认为这个非常奇妙。
16:02
I think it's a chance for people to get to play with crayons
296
937000
2000
我认为这为人们蜡笔画图提供了一次很好的机会
16:04
and all that kind of stuff. But I'm interested in the process,
297
939000
3000
或者玩弄其他东西。我对这一过程非常感兴趣，
16:07
the process of creating, as the real event that I'm interested in.
298
942000
4000
这种创造的过程，这才是我真正感兴趣的事。
16:11
And the problem is that a lot of people suck at drawing,
299
946000
4000
问题就是很多人都沉浸在画图当中。
16:15
and they get bummed out at this, sort of, you know, stick figure,
300
950000
4000
他们用这样的方式来解闷。比如，画一些人物啦。
16:19
awful little thing that they created.
301
954000
3000
以及一些他们创造的一些可怕的小东西。
16:22
And eventually, it just makes them stop playing with it,
302
957000
3000
最终，他们还是停止画这类东西。
16:25
or draw, you know, they draw penises and things like that.
303
960000
2000
他们画一些诸如小鸡鸡这类东西。
16:27
(Laughter)
304
962000
2000
（笑声）
16:29
So, the Scribbler is an attempt to create a generative tool.
305
964000
3000
所以，这类三流作家尝试着创造具有生殖能力的工具。
16:32
In other words, it's a helping tool.
306
967000
3000
换句话说，一种辅助工具。
16:35
You can draw your simple stick figure, and then it collaborates
307
970000
3000
你也能画一些简笔画。这样的画
16:38
with you to create, sort of, like, a post-war German etching.
308
973000
3000
加上你的创造，如，一种战后德国蚀刻技术。
16:41
(Laughter)
309
976000
2000
（笑声）
16:43
So you can -- in fact, it's tuned to be better at drawing things
310
978000
6000
这你也能做的哦——事实上，你画画的技术会变得越来越好。
16:49
that look worse. So, we go ahead, and we start scribbling, and --
311
984000
6000
尽管原来画得很糟糕。我们继续前进，我们开始图画，
16:55
so the idea is that you can really,
312
990000
4000
你们也真正能
16:59
you know, partake in this process,
313
994000
3000
加入到这一过程中来。
17:02
but watch something really crappy look beautiful.
314
997000
3000
一些东西尽管没有价值，但是看起来还挺漂亮的。
17:05
And here are some of my favorites. This is the little trap marionette
315
1000000
5000
这里是一些我喜欢的东西。这是一个小小的困住的木偶
17:10
that was submitted to me. Here we are, very cool.
316
1005000
6000
它对我服服帖帖。非常酷吧！
17:16
(Laughter)
317
1011000
2000
（笑声）
17:18
Darling. Beautiful stuff.
318
1013000
4000
亲爱的，美丽的东西。
17:22
I mean this is incredible. This is an 11-year-old girl -- drew this
319
1017000
4000
我的意思是这简直难以置信。这是一个11岁小女孩画的
17:26
and submitted it. It's just gorgeous.
320
1021000
2000
上传的。这真是太美丽了。
17:28
(Laughter)
321
1023000
2000
（笑声）
17:30
I'm -- I'm dead serious here. I'm actually -- this is not a joke.
322
1025000
4000
我实际上已经死了。事实上，这可不是一个笑话。
17:34
(Laughter)
323
1029000
2000
（笑声）
17:36
But, I think, it's a -- it's a really fun and wonderful thing.
324
1031000
3000
但我认为，这是一项非常有趣、非常美妙的东西。
17:39
So this is called the "Fiction Project." This is an online space,
325
1034000
5000
所以这是称作为“幻想工程”。这是一个网络空间。
17:44
which is -- it's basically a refurbished message board
326
1039000
4000
这是——根本上来说，这是一个刷新信息的版块。
17:48
that encourages collaborative fiction writing.
327
1043000
2000
这鼓励合作写小说。
17:50
These are haikus.
328
1045000
2000
这是日式的抒情小诗。
17:52
None of the haikus were written by the same person,
329
1047000
2000
没有一首日式小诗是同样一个人写的，
17:54
and in fact, no line was --
330
1049000
1000
事实上，没有一行
17:55
you know, each line is contributed by a different person
331
1050000
3000
每一行都是不同人写出来的。
17:58
at a different -- at a different time.
332
1053000
2000
在不同的时写的。
18:00
I think that the "now tied up, tied down,
333
1055000
3000
我想这“现在捆绑，束缚起来，”
18:03
mistress cruel approaches me, now tied down, it's up."
334
1058000
4000
残酷小姐走向了我，现在束缚起来，她开始行动了”
18:07
It's -- it's an amazing way, and I'll tell you,
335
1062000
4000
我正想告诉你们，这真是令人惊奇的方式。
18:11
if you come home, and your spouse, or whoever it is,
336
1066000
5000
如果你，或者你们夫妇，不管谁，能来到我的家，
18:16
says, "Let's talk" -- that, like, chills you to the very core.
337
1071000
8000
说，“让我来谈论吧”——这是不是让你寒战到内心底。
18:24
But it's peripheral activities, like these,
338
1079000
3000
但是像这样只是周边活动
18:27
that allow people to get together, doing fun things.
339
1082000
3000
而是让人们聚在一起，做一些快乐的事情。
18:30
They actually get to know each other,
340
1085000
1000
事实上，他们想去了解对方。
18:31
and it's sort of like low-threshold peripheral activities that I think are the key
341
1086000
5000
这只是低门槛的周边活动，但是我认为这很重要。
18:36
to bringing up some of our bonding social capital
342
1091000
2000
对于培养出更多的社会资本
18:38
that we're lacking. And very, very quickly --
343
1093000
2000
这样的资本，我们现在正缺乏。好快呀！
18:40
I love puppets. Here's a puppet.
344
1095000
4000
我喜欢木偶，这个木偶！
18:44
It dances to music. Lotte Reiniger,
345
1099000
2000
它会随着音乐跳舞，Lotte Reiniger，
18:46
an amazing shadow puppeteer in the '20s,
346
1101000
4000
在二十年代，它是一个令人惊奇的拉线木偶表演者。
18:50
that started doing more elaborate things.
347
1105000
1000
他开始做一些精细的东西。
18:51
I became interested in puppets,
348
1106000
2000
我开始对木偶很感兴趣了。
18:53
and I just want to show one last thing to you.
349
1108000
3000
我想向你们展现最后一样东西。
18:56
Oh, this is how you make puppets.
350
1111000
1000
哦，就是怎样制作木偶。
18:57
(Applause)
351
1112000
2000
（鼓掌）
18:59
Chris Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ze Frank.
352

克里斯 安德森：女士们，先生们，泽·弗兰克！
19:01

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ze Frank - Humorist, web artistZe Frank rose to fame on a viral video -- in 2001! He has been making online comedy, web toys and massively shared experiences (like the addictive Young Me Now Me) ever since.
Why you should listen
Ever since his "How to Dance Properly" viral video -- born as a party invite for 17 friends -- hit the Web in 2001, Ze Frank has been making people giggle, guffaw and gasp out loud whilst procrastinating at work. He defines, in many ways, the genre of online comedy, and continues to innovate madly on the form.
In 2006 he launched a year-long daily video blog called The Show with Ze Frank, which Slate.com called "the best sustained comedy run in the history of the Web." His rapid-fire delivery and absurd explorations in audience participation (like Earth Sandwich) has influenced a generation of digital native YouTubers. Perhap his most brilliant move: calling on fans to write the show for him. Using collaborative tools, online viewers collectively put words in his mouth (and props in his lap); he faithfully performed this wiki-comedy each week for his "Fabuloso Friday" show.
In 2008, along with Erik Kastner, Frank launched Colowars, the first massively multiplayer game on Twitter, which featured two months of sponsored online events and competitions. Recently he has worked with his audience to create a series of projects based on shared emotions such as pain, fear and the pang of nostalgia. Frank works as a consultant to range of industries on audience engagement and is a public speaker on the subject of the virtual life.
In 2012 he returned to the internet airwaves with "A Show." About which a MetaFilter commenter wrote:
If this were a cult, I would join.
If this were a religion, I would attend services.
If this were a band, I would not torrent the albums, but buy them, full price, from a local independent record store.
If this were a telethon, I would buy multiple tote bags.
Welcome back, Ze.
