Now, I've got a story for you.

我現在要跟你們說個故事，
00:33
When I arrived off the plane,
2
8000
3000
我從英國西部搭長途飛機
00:36
after a very long journey from the West of England,
3
11000
3000
抵達這邊，一下飛機後，我發現
00:39
my computer, my beloved laptop,
4
14000
3000
我的電腦，我親愛的筆記型電腦
00:42
had gone mad,
5
17000
3000
不能用了，
00:45
and had -- oh! -- a bit like that! --
6
20000
3000
然後，呼（背景碰一聲），就有點像這樣，
00:48
and the display on it --
7
23000
3000
還有電腦螢幕，
00:51
anyway, the whole thing had burst.
8
26000
3000
總之，整台電腦都不能用了。
00:54
And I went to the IT guys here
9
29000
4000
所以，我就向這邊的電腦技術人員尋求協助，
00:58
and a gentleman mended my computer,
10
33000
4000
一位先生幫我修好了電腦，
01:02
and then he said, "What are you doing here?"
11
37000
3000
然後那位先生問我說：「你來這裡做什麼呀？」
01:05
and I said "I'm playing the cello and I'm doing a bit of singing,"
12
40000
3000
我說：「我來這邊拉大提琴，另外還會唱幾首歌。」
01:08
and he said, "Oh, I sort of play the cello as well."
13
43000
3000
然後他說：「喔！我也會拉一點大提琴耶。」
01:11
And I said, "Do you really?"
14
46000
3000
然後，我就說：「真的嗎？」
01:14
Anyway, so you're in for a treat,
15
49000
2000
那你今天就來跟我一起表演吧！
01:16
because he's fantastic, and his name's Mark.
16
51000
2000
這位先生叫做馬克，他真的好棒！
01:18
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Caroline Lavelle - Cellist; singer-songwriterEqually talented on cello and vocals, Caroline Lavelle has created a performance style all her own. Her expansive talents, channeling the best of both classical and contemporary influences, have earned her comparisons to both Kate Bush and Jacqueline du Pré.
Why you should listen
Connecting the best of British chamber folk and folk rock to modern electronic music, Caroline Lavelle is frequently sought out for both her vocals and her cello playing. The genre-bridging cellist has collaborated with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Radiohead, the Cranberries, BT, Massive Attack and William Orbit, among others (she reportedly inspired Madonna to pursue her own successful collaboration with Orbit).
In her TED performance of "Further than the Sun," Lavelle plays the cello like a sorceress casting a spell, occasionally hiding behind her wild mane of blond hair as she sings of pastoral themes. She's produced three solo albums -- A Distant Bell (2004), Brilliant Midnight (2001) and Spirit (1995) -- and is a touring member of the Chieftains.
