what it is and where you can get one.
41
108000

這到底是什麽，在哪裏買得到。
02:06
Does Amazon carry it?

亞馬遜網站上買得到嗎？
02:08
Does it have the Apple logo on it?

02:10
Is there a waiting list?
44
115000
3000
要排隊等貨嗎？
02:13
Not likely.
45
118000
2000
不太可能。
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
120000
3000
我大概是五個月前得到這個禮物的。
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
123000
2000
包起來的話長得像這樣
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
125000
2000
並不是很漂亮。
02:23
And this,
49
128000
2000
再來是這樣
02:26
and then this.
50
131000
3000
再這樣
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
134000
2000
這個稀有珍寶
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
136000
2000
是個腦瘤
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
138000
3000
成血管細胞瘤
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
141000
3000
一個讓你不斷得到收穫的禮物。
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
144000
2000
我現在是沒事了
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
146000
2000
但我不會希望你得到這個禮物。
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
148000
2000
我也不確定你會不會想要。
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
150000
3000
但是我不會希望一切重新來過。
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
153000
3000
這件事徹底地改變了我的人生
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
156000
2000
帶來了我剛跟你們講的那些改變
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
158000
2000
這些都是我從未預料到的。
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
160000
2000
所以下次
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
162000
3000
萬一你必須面對出乎意料的事
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
165000
3000
是你不要或是不確定的
03:03
consider
65
168000
2000
你可以把它
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
170000
3000
想成是一個禮物。
03:08
(Applause)
