I'm used to thinking of the TED audience as a wonderful collection

3000
我一直覺得TED有一羣好勁噶聽衆，
00:18
of some of the most effective, intelligent,
1
3000
2000
令人印象深刻，有智慧，
00:20
intellectual, savvy,
2
5000
3000
聰明、機智、
00:23
worldly and innovative people in the world.
3
8000
2000
經歷豐富、有創新。
00:25
And I think that's true.
4
10000
2000
我真係咁覺嘎。
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
不過，我有理由相信
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
你地之中噶好多人
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
用緊錯誤噶方式綁鞋帶。
00:33
(Laughter)
8
18000
2000
（笑聲）
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
我知聽起來几荒謬。
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
我知聽起來几荒謬。
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
但係相信我，我曾經過住同樣悽慘噶生活。
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
直到大概3年前先結束。
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
果陣我
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
我买左一對好贵噶鞋。
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
綁住尼龙鞋带，
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
但我唔识点绑。
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
跟住我翻翻到商店同个老板讲，
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
“我钟意哩对鞋，但我好憎个鞋带。“
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
距睇左下讲：“噢，你绑錯左啦。”
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
直到果阵，
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
我原先覺得到左50歲
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
一定會識噶生存技能
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
系綁鞋帶。
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
其實唔係——我現在來展示下
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
哩個係
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
我地大多數人學習綁鞋帶噶方式
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
現在搞點——多謝。
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
等陣，仲有更多。
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
結果
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
哩個結有牢固同脆弱兩種模式。
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
我地學習噶係脆弱模式。
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
你可以咁判斷。
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
如果拉個結下邊個鞋帶，
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
你會見到個結轉動，
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
向下同個鞋個牙長軸對齊。
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
哩個就係脆弱模式。
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
不過無所謂。
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
如果我地從新來過
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
用第二種好簡單噶方式
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
來繞過距
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
就可以得到牢固噶結
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
如果拉結下邊個鞋帶，
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
你會見到個結轉動
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
同鞋噶橫軸對齊。
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
哩個就係牢固噶結，距無咁容易粒。
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
同樣都唔會令你失望。
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
唔但只係感樣，距更加好睇
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
我地再來一次。
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
（掌聲）
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
從尋常野開始
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
用另一種方式繞圈。
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
對於小朋友來講有少少難度，
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
不過我覺得你地可以掌握距。
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
拉個結。
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
哩度：牢固噶結。
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
爲左相應今日噶主題，
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
我想指出噶係——有D野你地係知道噶——
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
生活中噶某些地方噶
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
小優勢
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
都可以係其他地方產生好強大噶結果
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
多福多壽。
02:50
(Applause)
62
155000
