My name is Arvind Gupta, and I'm a toymaker.

3000
我叫Arvind Gupta，我製作玩具
00:18
I've been making toys for the last 30 years.
1
3000
3000
過去30年我一直在製作玩具
00:21
The early '70s, I was in college.
2
6000
2000
70年代早期我還是大學生
00:23
It was a very revolutionary time.
3
8000
2000
那是一個非常革命性的時期
00:25
It was a political ferment, so to say --
4
10000
3000
是政治上的動亂
00:28
students out in the streets of Paris,
5
13000
2000
巴黎的學生上街遊行
00:30
revolting against authority.
6
15000
2000
向威權挑戰
00:32
America was jolted
7
17000
2000
反越戰的運動以及人權運動
00:34
by the anti-Vietnam movement, the Civil Rights movement.
8
19000
3000
讓美國處於躁動的階段
00:37
In India, we had the Naxalite movement,
9
22000
3000
在印度，我們有納薩爾派的運動
00:40
the [unclear] movement.
10
25000
2000
和其他的運動
00:42
But you know, when there is a political churning of society,
11
27000
2000
但你知道當社會上有政治的擾動時
00:44
it unleashes a lot of energy.
12
29000
3000
就會宣洩出許多能量
00:47
The National Movement of India
13
32000
2000
印度的國民運動
00:49
was testimony to that.
14
34000
2000
就是明顯的見證
00:51
Lots of people resigned from well-paid jobs
15
36000
4000
許多人辭掉自己高薪的工作
00:55
and jumped into the National Movement.
16
40000
2000
投身到了國民運動中去了
00:57
Now in the early '70s,
17
42000
2000
在70年代初期
00:59
one of the great programs in India
18
44000
2000
印度最重要的計畫之一
01:01
was to revitalize
19
46000
2000
就是復興
01:03
primary science in village schools.
20
48000
2000
鄉鎮學校的基礎科學
01:05
There was a person, Anil Sadgopal, did a Ph.D. from Caltech
21
50000
3000
有一個叫做Gopal的人，他在加州理工學院拿到博士
01:08
and returned back as a molecular biologist
22
53000
2000
回來後成為分子生物學家
01:10
in India's cutting-edge research institute, the TIFR.
23
55000
3000
在TIFR，印度最重要的研究中心工作
01:13
At 31, he was not able
24
58000
2000
在31歲時，他沒有辦法
01:15
to relate the kind of [unclear] research,
25
60000
2000
把自己正在進行的研究
01:17
which he was doing with the lives of the ordinary people.
26
62000
3000
應用到人民的日常生活
01:20
So he designed and went and started a village science program.
27
65000
3000
所以他企劃了一個鄉鎮科學計畫，並開始實行
01:23
Many people were inspired by this.
28
68000
2000
許多人都被這個想法所激發
01:25
The slogan of the early '70s
29
70000
2000
70年代初期的口號
01:27
was "Go to the people.
30
72000
2000
是「走向人民」
01:29
Live with them; love them.
31
74000
2000
「與他們一起生活，愛他們」
01:31
Start from what they know. Build on what they have."
32
76000
3000
「從人民知道的著手，從他們已擁有開始建設」
01:34
This was kind of the defining slogan.
33
79000
2000
這是很代表性的口號
01:36
Well I took one year.
34
81000
2000
我花了一年的時間
01:38
I joined Telco, made TATA trucks, pretty close to Pune.
35
83000
3000
我進入Telco工作，在哪裡生產TATA卡車，就在Pune附近
01:41
I worked there for two years,
36
86000
2000
我在那裡工作了兩年
01:43
and I realized that I was not born to make trucks.
37
88000
3000
然後我發現自己不適合去做卡車
01:46
Often one doesn't know what one wants to do,
38
91000
2000
人常常不知道自己想要做什麼
01:48
but it's good enough to know what you don't want to do.
39
93000
2000
但是知道自己不想做什麼也夠好的了
01:50
So I took one year off, and I went to this village science program.
40
95000
3000
所以我請了一年假，去參加這個鄉鎮科學計畫
01:53
And it was a turning point.
41
98000
2000
這成為一個轉捩點
01:55
It was a very small village --
42
100000
2000
那是一個小村落
01:57
a weekly bazaar
43
102000
2000
每星期有一次市集
01:59
where people, just once in a week, they put in all the vats.
44
104000
3000
村民在這一星期一次的市集會把東西拿出來都裝在桶里
02:02
So I said, "I'm going to spend a year over here."
45
107000
2000
我告訴自己：「你將要在這裡過一年了」
02:04
So I just bought one specimen
46
109000
2000
我在市集裡每一個路邊攤
02:06
of everything which was sold on the roadside.
47
111000
2000
都買了一個東西做樣本
02:08
And one thing which I found
48
113000
2000
其中一個我找到的
02:10
was this black rubber.
49
115000
2000
是一條黑色的橡皮圈
02:12
This is called a cycle valve tube.
50
117000
2000
這個叫做氣門嘴
02:14
When you pump in air in a bicycle, you use a bit of this.
51
119000
3000
當你要幫腳踏車充氣時會用到它
02:17
And some of these models --
52
122000
2000
還有一些這些模型也會
02:19
so you take a bit of this cycle valve tube,
53
124000
2000
現在你拿起一個氣門嘴
02:21
you can put two matchsticks inside this, and you make a flexible joint.
54
126000
3000
你可以把兩根火柴放進去，就可以做出一個可動關節
02:24
It's a joint of tubes. You start by teaching angles --
55
129000
3000
兩根管子的連結，你可以從教角度開始
02:27
an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, a straight angle.
56
132000
2000
銳角，直角，鈍角，平角
02:29
It's like its own little coupling.
57
134000
2000
像一個小小的耦合
02:31
If you have three of them, and you loop them together,
58
136000
2000
如果你有三個，然後你把它們連起來
02:33
well you make a triangle.
59
138000
2000
把它作成一個三角形
02:35
With four, you make a square,
60
140000
2000
有四個，你可以作個正方形
02:37
you make a pentagon, you make a hexagon,
61
142000
2000
做個五角型，做個六角形
02:39
you make all these kind of polygons.
62
144000
2000
你可以做出所有這些多邊形
02:41
And they have some wonderful properties.
63
146000
2000
然後他們有一些奇妙的特質
02:43
If you look at the hexagon, for instance,
64
148000
2000
比如說你看著一個六角形
02:45
it's like an amoeba, which is constantly changing its own profile.
65
150000
3000
它就像是一隻阿米巴，可以不停的改變外貌
02:48
You can just pull this out, this becomes a rectangle.
66
153000
2000
把這個拔下來，它就變成矩形
02:50
You give it a push, this becomes a parallelogram.
67
155000
2000
稍稍拉開，便成了平行四邊形
02:52
But this is very shaky.
68
157000
2000
但這總是可活動的
02:54
Look at the pentagon, for instance,
69
159000
2000
比如說這個五邊形
02:56
pull this out -- it becomes a boat shape trapezium.
70
161000
2000
把這個拔起，就變成像船一樣的梯形
02:58
Push it and it becomes house shaped.
71
163000
2000
推一下就成了房子的型狀
03:00
This becomes an isosceles triangle --
72
165000
2000
這樣就變成等腰三角形
03:02
again, very shaky.
73
167000
2000
再次展現它有多靈巧
03:04
This square might look very square and prim.
74
169000
2000
這個正方形看起來非常整齊方正
03:06
Give it a little push -- this becomes a rhombus.
75
171000
2000
稍微推弄一下，它變成了菱形
03:08
It becomes kite-shaped.
76
173000
2000
像風箏的形狀
03:10
But give a child a triangle,
77
175000
2000
但僅給小孩一個三角形
03:12
he can't do a thing to it.
78
177000
2000
他玩不出什麼變化
03:14
Why use triangles?
79
179000
2000
為什麼我們用三角形
03:16
Because triangles are the only rigid structures.
80
181000
2000
因為三角形是唯一堅固的結構
03:18
We can't make a bridge with squares
81
183000
2000
我們不能用正方形來造橋
03:20
because the train would come, it would start doing a jig.
82
185000
3000
因為當火車經過時這種橋會劇烈搖晃
03:23
Ordinary people know about this
83
188000
2000
這是一般人的常識
03:25
because if you go to a village in India,
84
190000
2000
因為你只要到印度任一村莊瞧瞧
03:27
they might not have gone to engineering college,
85
192000
2000
他們也許沒有主修工程的大學文憑
03:29
but no one makes a roof placed like this.
86
194000
2000
但沒有人會把屋頂蓋成這樣
03:31
Because if they put tiles on top, it's just going to crash.
87
196000
3000
因為這種屋頂一放上瓦片就會垮掉
03:34
They always make a triangular roof.
88
199000
2000
他們蓋的一定是三角形的屋頂
03:36
Now this is people science.
89
201000
2000
所以這是常民知識
03:38
And if you were to just poke a hole over here
90
203000
2000
然後如果你在這裡戳一個洞
03:40
and put a third matchstick,
91
205000
2000
接著放進第三根火柴
03:42
you'll get a T joint.
92
207000
2000
你就有一個Ｔ型接頭
03:44
And if I were to poke all the three legs of this
93
209000
2000
如果我在這個三角形的三個頂點上
03:46
in the three vertices of this triangle,
94
211000
2000
戳進去這個T形連接的三條邊
03:48
I would make a tetrahedron.
95
213000
2000
我能做出一個四面體
03:50
So you make all these 3D shapes.
96
215000
2000
你可以做出這些3D多面體
03:52
You make a tetrahedron like this.
97
217000
3000
做出一個像這樣的四面體
03:55
And once you make these,
98
220000
4000
當你做完這些
03:59
you make a little house.
99
224000
2000
你就能做出來個房子。
04:03
Put this on top.
100
228000
2000
把這個放在上面，
04:05
You can make a joint of four. You can make a joint of six.
101
230000
2000
你就能連成四個，連成六個。
04:07
You just need a ton.
102
232000
3000
你只需要很多這些（小零件）
04:10
Now this was -- you make a joint of six,
103
235000
2000
你看這個-這是做成的六個連在一起的
04:12
you make an icosahedron.
104
237000
2000
你能做出一個二十面體
04:14
You can play around with it.
105
239000
2000
你可以隨意把玩這個小東西
04:16
This makes an igloo.
106
241000
2000
作個雪屋
04:18
Now this is in 1978.
107
243000
2000
1978年
04:20
I was a 24-year-old young engineer.
108
245000
3000
我當時是二十四歲的年輕工程師
04:23
And I thought this was so much better than making trucks.
109
248000
4000
然後我想，這比製造卡車棒多了
04:27
(Applause)
110
252000
5000
(掌聲)
04:32
If you, as a matter of fact, put four marbles inside,
111
257000
3000
事實上，如果你放四顆玻璃彈球在裏面
04:35
you simulate the molecular structure of methane, CH4.
112
260000
3000
這樣你就能造出甲烷（CH4)的分子結構
04:38
Four atoms of hydrogen, the four points of the tetrahedron,
113
263000
2000
是氫的四個原子，四面體的四個點，
04:40
which means the little carbon atom.
114
265000
2000
就是碳原子
04:42
Well since then,
115
267000
2000
從那時起
04:44
I just thought that I've been really privileged
116
269000
3000
我覺得我萬分有幸
04:47
to go to over 2,000 schools in my country --
117
272000
4000
能夠去我們國家的兩千所學校
04:51
village schools, government schools,
118
276000
2000
鄉村學校，國立學校
04:53
municipal schools, Ivy League schools --
119
278000
2000
市立學校，常春藤聯盟學校
04:55
I've been invited by most of them.
120
280000
2000
我被很多所學校邀請
04:57
And every time I go to a school,
121
282000
2000
每當我去一所學校
04:59
I see a gleam in the eyes of the children.
122
284000
2000
看到孩子們眼中閃著光
05:01
I see hope. I see happiness in their faces.
123
286000
3000
我能看到希望。我能在他們臉上看到快樂。
05:04
Children want to make things. Children want to do things.
124
289000
3000
孩子們想要製作東西。孩子們想要動手去做。
05:07
Now this, we make lots and lots of pumps.
125
292000
3000
瞧這兒，我們做了很多打氣筒。
05:10
Now this is a little pump
126
295000
2000
這是一個小的氣筒
05:12
with which you could inflate a balloon.
127
297000
2000
你能用它來給氣球充氣。
05:14
It's a real pump. You could actually pop the balloon.
128
299000
3000
這可是個真正的打氣筒，你能把氣球給打爆了。
05:17
And we have a slogan
129
302000
2000
我們有句話說：
05:19
that the best thing a child can do with a toy is to break it.
130
304000
3000
一個孩子能對玩具做的最好的事情就是拆掉它
05:22
So all you do is --
131
307000
2000
那我們就這麼做吧 --
05:24
it's a very kind of provocative statement --
132
309000
2000
這聽上去多有挑戰性啊
05:26
this old bicycle tube and this old plastic [unclear]
133
311000
2000
這個舊的自行車內胎和舊塑料管
05:28
This filling cap will go very snugly into an old bicycle tube.
134
313000
3000
這個塑料管可以很容易地放進舊自行車內胎
05:31
And this is how you make a valve.
135
316000
2000
這是怎樣做個閥門
05:33
You put a little sticky tape.
136
318000
2000
你在這兒貼上膠帶
05:37
This is one-way traffic.
137
322000
3000
這樣就是單向流通的了
05:41
Well we make lots and lots of pumps.
138
326000
2000
我們做了很多很多的泵
05:43
And this is the other one --
139
328000
2000
這是另外一個
05:45
that you just take a straw, and you just put a stick inside
140
330000
2000
你拿跟吸管，放根小棍進去
05:47
and you make two half-cuts.
141
332000
2000
切兩個口
05:49
Now this is what you do,
142
334000
2000
現在你這樣
05:51
is you bend both these legs into a triangle,
143
336000
2000
你把這腿彎成一個三角形
05:53
and you just wrap some tape around.
144
338000
2000
然後纏上膠帶
05:55
And this is the pump.
145
340000
2000
這就成了一個泵
05:57
And now, if you have this pump,
146
342000
3000
那你有了這個泵
06:00
it's like a great, great sprinkler.
147
345000
3000
就好像你有了個很棒的灑水器
06:03
It's like a centrifuge.
148
348000
2000
好像離心機
06:05
If you spin something, it tends to fly out.
149
350000
3000
如果你插在水裏面轉，水就會飛出來
06:08
(Applause)
150
353000
2000
（掌聲）
06:10
Well in terms of -- if you were in Andhra Pradesh,
151
355000
2000
那麼--如果你在安德拉普拉德士
06:12
you would make this with the palmyra leaf.
152
357000
2000
你就能用棕櫚葉子做這個
06:14
Many of our folk toys
153
359000
2000
很多我們的民間玩具
06:16
have great science principles.
154
361000
2000
都包含很多科學原理
06:18
If you spin-top something, it tends to fly out.
155
363000
2000
如果你旋轉東西，那它可能會飛起來
06:20
If I do it with both hands, you can see this fun Mr. Flying Man.
156
365000
3000
如果我兩個手來搓，你就能看到這個有趣的飛人先生了。
06:25
Right.
157
370000
2000
瞧
06:29
This is a toy which is made from paper. It's amazing.
158
374000
3000
這是個紙做的玩具，讓人稱奇。
06:32
There are four pictures.
159
377000
2000
有四個圖片
06:34
You see insects,
160
379000
2000
你看有昆蟲
06:36
you see frogs, snakes, eagles, butterflies,
161
381000
2000
有青蛙、蛇
06:38
frogs, snakes, eagles.
162
383000
2000
青蛙、蛇、鷹
06:40
Here's a paper which you could [unclear] --
163
385000
2000
這是張能讓你一起跳舞的紙
06:42
designed by a mathematician at Harvard in 1928,
164
387000
2000
在1928年由一位哈佛的數學家設計
06:44
Arthur Stone,
165
389000
2000
他名叫亞瑟斯棟
06:46
documented by Martin Gardner in many of his many books.
166
391000
3000
這在馬丁嘉德勒的很多著作中記錄過
06:49
But this is great fun for children.
167
394000
2000
但對小孩來說這太好玩了
06:51
They all study about the food chain.
168
396000
2000
他們都學過食物鏈
06:53
The insects are eaten by the frogs; the frogs are eaten by the snakes;
169
398000
2000
像是青蛙吃蟲子；蛇類吃青蛙
06:55
the snakes are eaten by the eagles.
170
400000
2000
老鷹吃蛇類
06:57
And this can be, if you had a whole photocopy paper --
171
402000
2000
然後就可以變成，如果你有一張紙
06:59
A4 size paper --
172
404000
2000
A4大小的紙
07:01
you could be in a municipal school, you could be in a government school --
173
406000
3000
不管你是在市立學校還是國立學校
07:04
a paper, a scale and a pencil -- no glue, no scissors.
174
409000
3000
只要一張紙，一把尺子，一支鉛筆，不需要膠水不需要剪刀
07:07
In three minutes, you just fold this up.
175
412000
3000
三分鐘，你就能夠折好
07:10
And what you could use it for is just limited by your imagination.
176
415000
3000
然後你就能拿它做任何你想的到的應用
07:13
If you take a smaller paper, you make a smaller flexagon.
177
418000
3000
如果你那拿張小點的紙，你就做個小點的翻紙
07:16
With a bigger one, you make a bigger one.
178
421000
3000
大張一點的紙，你就能做的大一點
07:21
Now this is a pencil with a few slots over here.
179
426000
2000
這裡有一支鉛筆，上面有些凹槽
07:23
And you put a little fan here.
180
428000
2000
然後在這人安上一片扇葉
07:25
And this is a hundred-year-old toy.
181
430000
2000
這是個有百年曆史的玩具
07:27
There have been six major research papers on this.
182
432000
3000
已經有六篇著名的研究論文研究它
07:30
There's some grooves over here, you can see.
183
435000
2000
這兒有些溝槽，你能看到
07:32
And if I take a reed -- if I rub this,
184
437000
2000
如果我拿個簧片，然後我刮這個鉛筆
07:34
something very amazing happens.
185
439000
2000
神奇的事情發生了
07:36
Six major research papers on this.
186
441000
2000
六篇重要的研究論文就是探討它的
07:38
As a matter of fact, Feynman, as a child, was very fascinated by this.
187
443000
2000
事實上，有個小孩子名叫費因曼很為之著迷
07:40
He wrote a paper on this.
188
445000
2000
後來他寫了一篇關於它的論文
07:42
And you don't need the three billion-dollar Hadron Collider
189
447000
2000
你不需要一台三十億美元的分子對撞機
07:44
for doing this. (Laughter) (Applause)
190
449000
2000
就能做這些
07:46
This is there for every child,
191
451000
2000
這樣的玩具每個孩子都能得到
07:48
and every child can enjoy this.
192
453000
2000
每個孩子都會喜歡玩
07:50
If you want to put a colored disk,
193
455000
3000
如果你拿一張彩色的磁盤
07:53
well all these seven colors coalesce.
194
458000
2000
那麼這七種顏色合并
07:55
And this is what Newton talked about 400 years back,
195
460000
3000
這就是牛頓在400年前提到的
07:58
that white light's made of seven colors,
196
463000
2000
白光是由七色光組成
08:00
just by spinning this around.
197
465000
2000
只需要轉動它就可以看到
08:02
This is a straw.
198
467000
3000
這是一根吸管
08:05
What we've done, we've just sealed both the ends with tape,
199
470000
3000
我們已經把這兩端用膠條封起來
08:08
nipped the right corner and the bottom left corner,
200
473000
2000
在右下角和左上角剪個口子
08:10
so there's holes in the opposite corners, there's a little hole over here.
201
475000
3000
所以在相對的兩邊都有一個口子，這裡有個口子
08:13
This is a kind of a blowing straw.
202
478000
2000
這就成了根吹氣管
08:15
I just put this inside this.
203
480000
2000
我把它放到這裡面
08:17
There's a hole here, and I shut this.
204
482000
3000
這兒有個洞，我堵上它
08:25
And this costs very little money to make --
205
490000
2000
製作這些基本上都不花錢
08:27
great fun for children to do.
206
492000
2000
卻能給孩子們來帶很多樂趣
08:29
What we do
207
494000
2000
現在我們
08:31
is make a very simple electric motor.
208
496000
2000
做一個很簡單的發電機
08:33
Now this is the simplest motor on Earth.
209
498000
3000
這是世界上最簡單的發電機了
08:37
The most expensive thing is the battery inside this.
210
502000
3000
他最昂貴的部份就是裏面的這枚電池
08:40
If you have a battery, it costs five cents to make it.
211
505000
3000
如果你有了一枚電池，那麼只要再花5分錢來製作它
08:43
This is an old bicycle tube,
212
508000
2000
這是個用舊的自行車內胎
08:45
which gives you a broad rubber band, two safety pins.
213
510000
2000
一個寬橡膠帶，兩枚別針
08:47
This is a permanent magnet.
214
512000
2000
這是一塊永磁鐵
08:49
Whenever current flows through the coil, this becomes an electromagnet.
215
514000
3000
當電流經過線圈，他就成了電磁鐵
08:52
It's the interaction of both these magnets
216
517000
2000
正是這些磁力的相互作用
08:54
which makes this motor spin.
217
519000
2000
使得這個電機轉起來
08:56
We made 30,000.
218
521000
2000
我們做了3萬個
08:58
Teachers who have been teaching science for donkey years,
219
523000
3000
那些教授科學多年的老師們
09:01
they just muck up the definition and they spit it out.
220
526000
3000
他們把定義弄混然後生硬地講出來
09:04
When teachers make it, children make it.
221
529000
2000
但是如果老師製作這個，孩子們也動手作
09:06
You can see a gleam in their eye.
222
531000
2000
你能看到他們眼中閃爍的光芒
09:08
They get a thrill
223
533000
3000
他們瞭解到科學究竟是什麽
09:11
of what science is all about.
224
536000
2000
並為之感到興奮
09:13
And this science is not a rich man's game.
225
538000
2000
這樣的科學不是富人的遊戲
09:15
In a democratic country,
226
540000
2000
在一個民主的國度
09:17
science must reach to our most oppressed,
227
542000
3000
科學應該覆蓋到哪怕是最底層的人們
09:20
to the most marginalized children.
228
545000
2000
讓那些最邊緣化的孩子也能隨時掌握
09:22
This program started with 16 schools
229
547000
3000
這個項目從最初的16所學校
09:25
and spread to 1,500 government schools.
230
550000
3000
現在發展到1500所國立學校
09:28
Over 100,000 children learn science this way.
231
553000
4000
超過十萬名兒童通過這樣的項目學習科學
09:32
And we're just trying to see possibilities.
232
557000
2000
我們仍在嘗試新的發張可能
09:34
Look, this is the tetrapak --
233
559000
2000
瞧，這是一個利樂包
09:36
awful materials from the point of view of the environment.
234
561000
3000
從環保的角度來講這些都是不好的材料
09:39
There are six layers -- three layers of plastic, aluminum --
235
564000
3000
這裡一共有六層 -- 三層塑料，鋁 --
09:42
which are are sealed together.
236
567000
2000
都封在一起
09:44
They are fused together, so you can't separate them.
237
569000
2000
這些層都是熔在一起的所以不能分開
09:46
Now you can just make a little network like this
238
571000
2000
現在你可以把它們連在一起
09:48
and fold them and stick them together
239
573000
2000
折叠並且粘在一起
09:50
and make an icosahedron.
240
575000
2000
這樣就能做成一個二十面體
09:52
So something which is trash,
241
577000
2000
所以這些本來是垃圾的東西
09:54
which is choking all the seabirds,
242
579000
3000
這些噎住海鳥的廢物
09:57
you could just recycle this into a very, very joyous --
243
582000
3000
你可以把它回收，變成非常好玩的玩具
10:00
all the platonic solids can be made with things like this.
244
585000
3000
它可以做成任何的規範多面體
10:03
This is a little straw,
245
588000
3000
這裡有根小吸管
10:06
and what you do is you just nip two corners here,
246
591000
4000
你把在這兒剪兩個角
10:10
and this becomes like a baby crocodile's mouth.
247
595000
4000
這就像個小鱷魚的嘴
10:14
You put this in your mouth, and you blow.
248
599000
2000
把它放到嘴裡，然後往裡吹氣
10:16
(Honk)
249
601000
2000
（吹出響聲）
10:18
It's children's delight, a teacher's envy, as they say.
250
603000
4000
人麼說，這讓孩子們高興，老師們嫉妒
10:22
You're not able to see how the sound is produced,
251
607000
2000
你不能看到聲音是怎麼產生的
10:24
because the thing which is vibrating goes inside my mouth.
252
609000
3000
因為振動的部份在我嘴裏面
10:27
I'm going to keep this outside, to blow out. I'm going to suck in air.
253
612000
3000
現在我把它放在外面，我往裡吸氣
10:30
(Honk)
254
615000
2000
（發出聲音）
10:32
So no one actually needs to muck up the production of sound
255
617000
3000
所以沒必要把聲音原理用晦澀難懂的
10:35
with wire vibrations.
256
620000
2000
線性振動圖來表現出來
10:37
The other is that you keep blowing at it,
257
622000
2000
另一種辦法是一直不停的吹氣
10:39
keep making the sound,
258
624000
2000
不停的發出響聲
10:41
and you keep cutting it.
259
626000
2000
然後不斷簡短吸管
10:43
And something very, very nice happens.
260
628000
2000
那麼將會出現很美好的現象
10:45
(Honk)
261
630000
12000
（發出響聲，越短聲音越高）
10:57
(Applause)
262
642000
3000
（掌聲）
11:00
And when you get a very small one --
263
645000
2000
那麼當你只剩很短的一段
11:02
(Honk)
264
647000
3000
（嬰兒哭聲）
11:05
This is what the kids teach you. You can also do this.
265
650000
3000
這就是孩子們教你的東西。你也能自己動手試試
11:08
Well before I go any further,
266
653000
2000
在我講後面的故事之前
11:10
this is something worth sharing.
267
655000
2000
這里有些值得跟大家分享的東西
11:12
This is a touching slate meant for blind children.
268
657000
2000
這是一塊給盲童的觸摸板
11:14
This is strips of Velcro, this is my drawing slate,
269
659000
3000
這上面是一條條的尼龍鉤扣條，這是我的畫板
11:17
and this is my drawing pen,
270
662000
2000
這是我的畫筆
11:19
which is basically a film box.
271
664000
2000
其實就是一個膠捲盒
11:21
It's basically like a fisherman's line,
272
666000
4000
這就像是個漁夫的線
11:25
a fishing line.
273
670000
2000
漁線
11:27
And this is wool over here.
274
672000
2000
這是一捆毛線
11:29
If I crank the handle, all the wool goes inside.
275
674000
3000
我轉動手柄，毛線就收進去了
11:32
And what a blind child can do is to just draw this.
276
677000
3000
那麼一個盲童可以拿著這個畫畫
11:36
Wool sticks on Velcro.
277
681000
2000
毛線會鉤在尼龍勾上
11:40
There are 12 million blind children in our country --
278
685000
3000
我們國家有一千兩百萬盲童
11:43
(Applause)
279
688000
2000
（掌聲）
11:45
who live in a world of darkness.
280
690000
2000
他們生活在黑暗中
11:47
And this has come as a great boon to them.
281
692000
3000
而這對他們來說是多麼大的恩惠
11:50
There's a factory out there making our children blind,
282
695000
3000
也許有個工廠正讓我們的孩子們失明
11:53
not able to provide them with food,
283
698000
2000
不能給他們提供食物
11:55
not able to provide them with vitamin A.
284
700000
2000
不能給他們提供維他命A
11:57
But this has come as a great boon for them.
285
702000
2000
但是這對他們來說卻意味著天大的福音
11:59
There are no patents. Anyone can make it.
286
704000
3000
這個沒有任何專利，隨便什麽人都可以作出來
12:03
This is very, very simple.
287
708000
2000
這非常非常的簡單
12:05
You can see, this is the generator. It's a crank generator.
288
710000
3000
你瞧，這是個發電機，曲柄發電機
12:08
These are two magnets.
289
713000
2000
這兒有兩個磁鐵
12:10
This is a large pulley made by sandwiching rubber between two old CDs.
290
715000
3000
這個大滑輪由兩張舊CD夾著一片橡膠片組成
12:13
Small pulley and two strong magnets.
291
718000
2000
小滑輪和兩個強性磁鐵
12:15
And this fiber turns a wire attached to an LED.
292
720000
3000
這條導線連接著LED燈
12:18
If I spin this pulley, the small one's going to spin much faster.
293
723000
2000
當我轉這個滑輪的時候，小滑輪轉動得更快
12:20
There will be a spinning magnetic field.
294
725000
2000
就產生了一個旋轉的磁場
12:22
Lines, of course, would be cut, the force will be generated.
295
727000
3000
磁場線被切割，那麼產生了力
12:25
And you can see, this LED is going to glow.
296
730000
2000
現在你能看見，LED燈就能亮起來
12:27
So this is a small crank generator.
297
732000
3000
這就是個小型的曲柄電機
12:31
Well, this is, again,
298
736000
3000
那麼再來看這個
12:34
it's just a ring, a steel ring with steel nuts.
299
739000
3000
這是一個圈，一個鋼圈還有些鋼螺母
12:37
And what you can do
300
742000
2000
你能做的呢
12:39
is just, if you give it a twirl,
301
744000
3000
就是彈轉它們
12:42
well they just keep going on.
302
747000
3000
它們就會這麼轉下去
12:48
And imagine a bunch of kids
303
753000
2000
現在想像一群孩子
12:50
standing in a circle
304
755000
2000
站在一起圍成一個圈
12:52
and just waiting for the steel ring to be passed on.
305
757000
2000
等著輪到自己來玩這個鋼圈
12:54
And they'd be absolutely joyous playing with this.
306
759000
4000
他們將會玩得多麼開心
12:59
Well in the end, what we can also do:
307
764000
2000
最後，我們還可以這樣做
13:01
we use a lot of old newspapers
308
766000
3000
我們用很多廢報紙
13:04
to make caps.
309
769000
2000
來做帽子
13:06
This is worthy of Sachin Tendulkar.
310
771000
2000
這頂帽子對沙奇德盧卡（著名板球運動員）來說挺值錢
13:08
It's a great cricket cap. (Laughter) (Applause)
311
773000
3000
這是頂了不起的板球帽
13:11
When first you see Nehru and Gandhi,
312
776000
2000
但是如果你看到尼赫魯和甘地
13:13
this is the Nehru cap -- just half a newspaper.
313
778000
3000
這是一頂尼赫魯帽 - 只要半張報紙
13:16
We make lots of toys with newspapers,
314

2000
我們用報紙可以做很多玩具
13:18
and this is one of them.
315
783000

13:20
And this is -- you can see --

13:25
All of our old newspapers, we cut them into little squares.
318
790000
3000
我們的舊報紙，我們把它們裁成小方塊
13:28
And if you have one of these birds --
319
793000

如果你有這麼樣的一隻小鳥 --
13:30
children in Japan have been making this bird for many, many years.

Well in the end, I'll just end with a story.
323
806000
3000
最後，我來用一個故事來結束我的演講。
13:44
This is called "The Captain's Hat Story."
324
809000
2000
這個故事名字叫做“船長的帽子”
13:46
The captain was a captain of a sea-going ship.
325
811000
2000
船長是一位航海船的船長
13:48
It goes very slowly.
326
813000
2000
船行得很慢
13:50
And there were lots of passengers on the ship,
327
815000
2000
船上有很多的乘客
13:52
and they were getting bored, so the captain invited them on the deck.
328
817000
2000
他們很無聊，所以船長邀請大家來到甲板上
13:54
"Wear all your colorful clothes and sing and dance,
329
819000
2000
穿上你們多彩的衣服，盡情的唱歌跳舞吧
13:56
and I'll provide you with good food and drinks."
330
821000
2000
我會為你們提供上好的食物和美酒
13:58
And the captain would wear a cap everyday
331
823000
2000
船長每天都帶著一頂不同的帽子
14:00
and join in the regalia.
332
825000
2000
加入盛裝的人們
14:02
The first day, it was a huge umbrella cap,
333
827000
2000
第一天，他戴了一頂巨大的傘形帽
14:04
like a captain's cap.
334
829000
2000
就像頂船長帽
14:06
That night, when the passengers would be sleeping,
335
831000
3000
到了夜裡，當乘客們都睡著了
14:09
he would give it one more fold,
336
834000
2000
他把帽子折了一道
14:11
and the second day, he would be wearing a fireman's cap --
337
836000
2000
那麼第二天，他就戴了一頂消防帽
14:13
with a little shoot just like a designer cap,
338
838000
2000
後面留了個尖角，像是頂設計師專門設計的帽子
14:15
because it protects the spinal cord.
339
840000
3000
因為這尖角能保護脊柱
14:18
And the second night, he would take the same cap
340
843000
2000
到了第二天夜裡，他拿出同樣一頂帽子
14:20
and give it another fold.
341
845000
2000
然後又折了一道
14:22
And the third day, it would be a Shikari cap --
342
847000
2000
第三天，這就成了獵裝帽
14:24
just like an adventurer's cap.
343
849000
3000
像是個冒險家帽子
14:27
And the third night, he would give it two more folds --
344
852000
3000
第三天晚上，他又折了兩道
14:30
and this is a very, very famous cap.
345
855000
2000
這就成了一頂非常非常有名的帽子
14:32
If you've seen any of our Bollywood films,
346
857000
2000

14:34

347
859000
2000
這就是警察戴的
14:36
it's called a zapalu cap.
348
861000
2000
這叫做zapalu帽子
14:38
It's been catapulted to international glory.
349
863000
3000
這帽子已經蜚聲世界了
14:41
And we must not forget that he was the captain of the ship.
350
866000
3000
我們別忘了他可是這艘船上的船長哦
14:44
So that's a ship.
351
869000
2000
所以這是一艘船
14:46
And now the end:
352
871000
2000
現在到了結局
14:48
everyone was enjoying the journey very much.
353
873000
2000
每個人非常享受這次旅程
14:50
They were singing and dancing.
354
875000
2000
大家唱啊跳啊
14:52
Suddenly there was a storm and huge waves.
355
877000
3000
突然，刮起了狂風，掀起了巨浪
14:55
And all the ship can do is to dance and pitch along with the waves.
356
880000
3000
船只能隨著巨浪上下顛簸
14:58
A huge wave comes and slaps the front
357
883000
2000
一陣巨浪打來，砸在船頭
15:00
and knocks it down.
358
885000
2000
把船頭打了下來
15:02
And another one comes and slaps the aft and knocks it down.
359
887000
3000
又這個大浪吧船尾打了下來
15:05
And there's a third one over here.
360
890000
2000
第三個大浪湧過來
15:07
This swallows the bridge and knocks it down.
361
892000
2000
吞沒了船長室
15:09
And the ship sinks,
362
894000
2000
船沉了
15:11
and the captain has lost everything,
363
896000
2000
船長什麽都沒了
15:13
but for a life jacket.
364
898000
3000
只剩一件救生衣
15:16
Thank you so much.

15:18
