Adam Savage 會搞創作同埋設計實驗。佢仲會利用服裝令到敍述嘅故事更加幽默、繽紛多彩同埋清晰。回憶起佢一世對服裝嘅愛——由童年用雪糕紙桶做太空頭盔，到動漫展著住無面男服裝——佢一直都喺度探索角色扮演嘅世界同埋角色扮演所象徵嘅意義。佢總結話︰「我哋內心深處一直有啲重要嘅嘢，而服裝就係帶出我哋內心嘅嘢畀人。」

我好鍾意一種曾經睇過嘅講法
00:15
that one of the things that's contributed
to homo sapiens' success

係話人類喺物種進化上
成功嘅其中一個因素

00:21
is our lack of body hair --

2056
係多得我哋無體毛
我哋因為無體毛，加上發明咗衫
00:23
that our hairlessness, our nakedness

11597
2424
00:26
combined with our invention of clothing,

00:28
gives us the ability to modulate
our body temperature

我哋可以調節體溫
00:31
and thus be able to survive
in any climate we choose.
in any climate we choose.
7
19693

以至無論喺咩氣候之下都生存到
依家我哋已經進化到冇衫就生存唔到
00:35
And now we've evolved to the point
where we can't survive without clothing.
where we can't survive without clothing.

同時衫已經唔凈係衫
00:39
And it's more than just utility,
9
27346
1530
佢仲有表達嘅用途
00:40
now it's a communication.

所有我哋著上身嘅服飾
都喺度訴說緊我哋嘅嘢

00:42
Everything that we choose
to put on is a narrative,
to put on is a narrative,
11
30245
2808
00:45
a story about where we've been,
12
33077
2021
例如透露緊我哋曾經去過邊度
00:47
what we're doing,
13
35122
1592
我哋做緊乜嘢、我哋想成為乜嘢人咁
00:48
who we want to be.

I was a lonely kid.
15
39048
1748
細個時我好孤單
我一直都好難搵到細路仔同我玩
00:52
I didn't have an easy time
finding friends to play with,
finding friends to play with,
16
40820
2832
於是我整咗好多遊戲同自己玩
00:55
and I ended up making
a lot of my own play.
a lot of my own play.
17
43676
2395
我為自己做咗好多玩具
00:58
I made a lot of my own toys.
18

最初係從雪糕開始
01:00
It began with ice cream.
19
48926
1639
我家鄉有一間 Baskin Robbins
01:02
There was a Baskin-Robbins in my hometown,
20
50589
3124
01:05
and they served ice cream
from behind the counter
from behind the counter
21
53737
2352
喺櫃台後面，佢哋將雪糕
裝喺呢啲超大、五加侖裝嘅紙桶裏面
01:08
in these giant, five-gallon,
cardboard tubs.
cardboard tubs.
22
56113
2607
01:10
And someone told me --
I was eight years old --
I was eight years old --
23
58744
2262
喺我八歲嗰時，有人話畀我知
01:13
someone told me that when
they were done with those tubs,
they were done with those tubs,
24
61030
2700
佢哋用完紙桶之後
會將紙桶洗乾淨，放喺後面
01:15
they washed them out
and kept them in the back,
and kept them in the back,
25
63754
2214
如果你問佢哋，佢哋會畀一個紙桶你
01:17
and if you asked they would give you one.
26
65992
1954
我用咗幾個星期去鼓起勇氣去問
01:19
It took me a couple of weeks
to work up the courage,
to work up the courage,
27
67970
2434
最後我問咗，佢哋又畀咗個我
01:22
but I did, and they did.
28
70428
1151
01:23
They gave me one -- I went home
with this beautiful cardboard tub.
with this beautiful cardboard tub.
29
71603
3313
我就摞住呢個靚紙桶返咗屋企
我喺度諗要點處理呢個新奇嘅嘢
01:26
I was trying to figure out what
I could do with this exotic material --
I could do with this exotic material --
30
74940
3396
有金屬環、蓋同埋底
01:30
metal ring, top and bottom.
31
78360
1385
我將佢倒轉戴喺頭上
01:31
I started turning it over in my head,
and I realized, "Wait a minute --
and I realized, "Wait a minute --
32
79769
3385
之後我諗，「等陣，
01:35
my head actually fits inside this thing."
33
83178
2142
呢樣嘢啱啱好戴得落我個頭。」
01:37
(Laughter)
34
85344
1563
（笑聲）
01:38
Yeah, I cut a hole out,
35
86931
1693
冇錯，我剪咗個窿
放咗啲醋酸纖維落去
01:40
I put some acetate in there
36
88648
1519
01:42
and I made myself a space helmet.
37
90191
1714
成個太空頭盔就咁大功告成！
01:43
(Laughter)
38
91929
1153
（笑聲）
之後我諗我仲需要一部太空船
01:45
I needed a place to wear the space helmet,
39
93106
2960
就喺距離屋企幾條街嘅地方
01:48
so I found a refrigerator box
a couple blocks from home.
a couple blocks from home.
40
96090
2704
我搵到一個裝冰箱嘅紙皮箱
01:50
I pushed it home,
41
98818
1287
我將佢推返屋企
之後喺我爸爸媽媽嘅客房個衣帽間裏面
01:52
and in my parents' guest room closet,
42
100129
2768
我將佢整成一部太空船
01:54
I turned it into a spaceship.
43
102921
2391
我先用紙皮箱整咗塊控制面板
01:57
I started with a control panel
out of cardboard.
out of cardboard.
44
105336
2299
我剪咗一個圓形當做雷達顯示
01:59
I cut a hole for a radar screen
45
107659
1798
同埋喺雷達後面放咗個電筒發光
02:01
and put a flashlight
underneath it to light it.
underneath it to light it.
46
109481
2223
我再利用牆壁做支撐，整咗個駕駛窗口
02:03
I put a view screen up,
which I offset off the back wall --
which I offset off the back wall --
47
111728
3050
02:06
and this is where I thought
I was being really clever --
I was being really clever --
48
114802
2633
其實我真係覺得自己好機智
我擅自將衣帽間後面幅牆油黑佢
02:09
without permission, I painted
the back wall of the closet black
the back wall of the closet black
49
117459
3047
再用喺閣樓度搵到嘅聖誕燈
佈置到成個星空咁
佈置到成個星空咁
02:12
and put a star field,
50
120530
1159
02:13
which I lit up with some Christmas lights
I found in the attic,
I found in the attic,
51
121713
4530
之後我就去繼續幻想我嘅太空使命
02:18
and I went on some space missions.
52
126267
1937
02:21
A couple years later,
53
129214
1151
幾年之後，電影《大白鯊》上映
02:22
the movie "Jaws" came out.
54
130389
1402
02:23
I was way too young to see it,
but I was caught up in "Jaws" fever,
but I was caught up in "Jaws" fever,
55
131815
3246
雖然唔啱細路仔睇，但我對佢入曬迷
就好似當時其他美國人咁樣
02:27
like everyone else in America at the time.
56
135085
2162
02:29
There was a store in my town
that had a "Jaws" costume in their window,
that had a "Jaws" costume in their window,
57
137709
3452
有件「大白鯊」服裝掛咗喺
我鎮上面嘅一間士多
我鎮上面嘅一間士多
我媽媽肯定係聽到我同人哋講
我覺得士多件衫幾咁型
我覺得士多件衫幾咁型
02:33
and my mom must have overheard
me talking to someone
me talking to someone
58
141185
2568
02:35
about how awesome
I thought this costume was,
I thought this costume was,
59
143777
2120
02:37
because a couple days before Halloween,
60
145921
1858
所以喺萬聖節嘅前幾日
送咗我呢件大白鯊衫
送咗我呢件大白鯊衫
02:39
she blew my freaking mind
by giving me this "Jaws" costume.
by giving me this "Jaws" costume.
61
147803
4135
件事係完全出乎曬我嘅意料
依家，我成日聽到
02:44
Now, I recognize it's a bit of a trope
62
152365
2400
某個年齡層嘅人喺度抱怨
02:46
for people of a certain age to complain
63
154789
1873
依家啲細路仔唔知自己嘅生活有幾好
02:48
that kids these days have no idea
how good they have it,
how good they have it,
64
156686
3536
咁就等我舉個簡單嘅例子嚟講下
02:52
but let me just show you a random sampling
65
160246
2045
呢啲細路入門級扮演服裝
係依家你喺網上可以買到嘅
係依家你喺網上可以買到嘅
02:54
of entry-level kids' costumes
you can buy online right now ...
you can buy online right now ...
66
162315
3698
02:58
... and this is the "Jaws" costume
my mom bought for me.
my mom bought for me.
67
166037
3822
呢件就係…
我媽買畀我嘅大白鯊衫
03:01
(Laughter)
68
169883
2732
（笑聲）
03:04
This is a paper-thin shark face
69
172639
3251
鯊魚塊面薄到好似張紙咁
03:07
and a vinyl bib with the poster
of "Jaws" on it.
of "Jaws" on it.
70
175914
3538
圍嘴上面仲要黏住張《大白鯊》廣告
03:11
(Laughter)
71
179476
1048
（笑聲）
但我就係鍾意佢
03:12
And I loved it.
72
180548
1403
03:14
A couple years later,
73
182411
1391
幾年之後
爸爸帶我去睇一部叫做《聖劍》嘅電影
03:15
my dad took me to a film
called "Excalibur."
called "Excalibur."
74
183826
2817
03:18
I actually got him to take me to it twice,
75
186667
2042
事實上我叫佢帶我去睇兩次
而且對我嚟講係好大件事
03:20
which is no small thing,
because it is a hard, R-rated film.
because it is a hard, R-rated film.
76
188733
4267
因為呢部電影係一部限制級嘅 R 片
03:25
But it wasn't the blood
and guts or the boobs
and guts or the boobs
77
193024
2156
不過唔係血腥場面、內臟
或者女性胸部吸引我去睇多一次
或者女性胸部吸引我去睇多一次
03:27
that made me want to go see it again.
78
195204
1897
雖然呢啲都幾有吸引力
03:29
They helped --
79
197125
1158
03:30
(Laughter)
80
198307
1002
（笑聲）
係盔甲吸引我
03:31
It was the armor.
81
199333
1165
03:32
The armor in "Excalibur"
was intoxicatingly beautiful to me.
was intoxicatingly beautiful to me.
82
200522
4114
我覺得《聖劍》嘅盔甲真係好靚好型
騎士著住好閃嘅
好似塊鏡咁反光嘅盔甲
好似塊鏡咁反光嘅盔甲
03:36
These were literally knights
in shining, mirror-polished armor.
in shining, mirror-polished armor.
83
204660
4617
03:41
And moreover, the knights in "Excalibur"
wear their armor everywhere.
wear their armor everywhere.
84
209301
4177
仲有，騎士去到邊度都著住件盔甲
03:45
All the time -- they wear it at dinner,
they wear it to bed.
they wear it to bed.
85
213502
3523
佢哋著住盔甲食飯，又著住盔甲瞓覺
03:49
(Laughter)
86
217049
1051
（笑聲）
03:50
I was like, "Are they reading my mind?
87
218124
1870
我就諗︰「唔通佢哋解讀緊我嘅思想？
03:52
I want to wear armor all the time!"
88
220018
2468
我都想喺任何時候都著住件盔甲！」
03:54
(Laughter)
89
222510
1015
（笑聲）
03:55
So I went back to my favorite material,
90
223549
2199
所以我又返去搵我最鍾意嘅材料︰
03:57
the gateway drug for making,
91
225772
1549
手工嘅材料
有波紋嘅硬紙皮
03:59
corrugated cardboard,
92
227345
1420
我同我自己整咗套盔甲
04:00
and I made myself a suit of armor,
93
228789
2862
加咗護頸，配埋一匹白馬
04:03
replete with the neck shields
and a white horse.
and a white horse.
94
231675
3445
雖然我已經將佢賣咗
04:07
Now that I've oversold it,
95
235144
1266
04:08
here's a picture of the armor that I made.
96
236434
2026
但我哋可以睇下張相
（笑聲）
04:10
(Laughter)
97
238484
1341
（掌聲）
04:11
(Applause)
98
239849
2450
04:16
Now, this is only the first
suit of armor I made
suit of armor I made
99
244736
2591
呢個係我受到《聖劍》啓發
而整嘅唯一一套盔甲
而整嘅唯一一套盔甲
04:19
inspired by "Excalibur."
100
247351
1344
幾年之後
04:20
A couple of years later,
101
248719
1253
我說服咗我爸爸動手整返件啱身嘅盔甲
04:21
I convinced my dad to embark
on making me a proper suit of armor.
on making me a proper suit of armor.
102
249996
4098
大概過咗一個月，佢幫我升級咗材料
04:26
Over about a month,
103
254118
1645
04:27
he graduated me from cardboard
to roofing aluminum called flashing
to roofing aluminum called flashing
104
255787
4294
從硬紙皮
到叫做「遮雨板」嘅
鋁製屋頂材料
鋁製屋頂材料
04:32
and still, one of my all-time favorite
attachment materials,
attachment materials,
105
260105
2816
仲有一種我一直都好鍾意嘅連接材料︰
POP 鉚釘
04:34
POP rivets.
106
262945
1167
成個月，我哋都喺度小心翼翼咁
04:36
We carefully, over that month,
107
264136
1712
04:37
constructed an articulated suit
of aluminum armor
of aluminum armor
108
265872
2574
整一套鋁製鉸接式
有好多混合波紋嘅盔甲
有好多混合波紋嘅盔甲
04:40
with compound curves.
109
268470
1161
04:41
We drilled holes in the helmet
so that I could breathe,
so that I could breathe,
110
269655
2905
我哋喺頭盔度鑽咗幾個窿，方便我透氣
04:44
and I finished just in time
for Halloween and wore it to school.
for Halloween and wore it to school.
111
272584
3047
咁啱喺萬聖節之前整好咗
於是我就著住佢去返學
於是我就著住佢去返學
04:47
Now, this is the one thing in this talk
112
275655
2154
依家，呢樣嘢冇幻燈片可以畀你哋睇到
04:49
that I don't have a slide to show you,
113
277833
1817
因為我無呢套盔甲嘅相
04:51
because no photo exists of this armor.
114
279674
2002
但我有著住佢去返學
04:53
I did wear it to school,
115
281700
1363
當時有個年刊攝影師喺走廊度周圍影相
04:55
there was a yearbook photographer
patrolling the halls,
patrolling the halls,
116
283087
2604
佢從來都冇搵到我
04:57
but he never found me, for reasons
that are about to become clear.
that are about to become clear.
117
285715
3390
後來發覺係有原因嘅
05:01
There were things I didn't anticipate
118
289129
2078
有啲嘢喺我著住套鋁製盔甲
去返學個時完全無諗到嘅
去返學個時完全無諗到嘅
05:03
about wearing a complete suit
of aluminum armor to school.
of aluminum armor to school.
119
291231
4371
05:08
In third period math,
I was standing in the back of class,
I was standing in the back of class,
120
296061
2761
當時係第三期數學班
我企喺課室嘅後面
05:10
and I'm standing in the back of class
121
298846
1801
因為我著住套盔甲根本就坐唔低
05:12
because the armor did not
allow me to sit down.
allow me to sit down.
122
300671
2196
（笑聲）
05:14
(Laughter)
123
302891
1455
05:16
This is the first thing
I didn't anticipate.
I didn't anticipate.
124
304370
2450
呢個係我冇預到嘅第一件事
05:19
And then my teacher looks at me
sort of concerned
sort of concerned
125
307351
2515
之後我嘅老師好擔心咁望住我
隔住大概半個課室問我有冇事
05:21
about halfway through the class
and says, "Are you feeling OK?"
and says, "Are you feeling OK?"
126
309890
2992
我諗：老師你冇嘢掛？我有冇事？
05:24
I'm thinking, "Are you kidding?
Am I feeling OK?
Am I feeling OK?
127
312906
2246
我依家著住套盔甲啊！
05:27
I'm wearing a suit of armor!
I am having the time of my --"
I am having the time of my --"
128
315176
2868
我係度享受緊我……
05:30
And I'm just about to tell her
how great I feel,
how great I feel,
129
318068
2660
就喺我準備要話畀佢知我有幾爽嗰時
我見到成間課室開始向左傾斜
05:32
when the classroom
starts to list to the left
starts to list to the left
130
320752
2393
跟住就消失喺呢條長長嘅隧道
05:35
and disappear down this long tunnel,
131
323169
2717
之後我喺校醫室醒返
05:37
and then I woke up in the nurse's office.
132
325910
3572
05:42
I had passed out from heat exhaustion,
133
330275
2994
我因為套盔甲中暑虛脫而暈咗
05:45
wearing the armor.
134
333293
1426
05:46
And when I woke up,
135
334743
1151
當我醒返嗰時
我冇因為喺成班同學面前暈低而尷尬
05:47
I wasn't embarrassed about having
passed out in front of my class,
passed out in front of my class,
136
335918
3145
反而我諗，邊個摞走咗我套盔甲？
05:51
I was wondering, "Who took my armor?
Where's my armor?"
Where's my armor?"
137
339087
2599
我套盔甲喺邊度？
05:53
OK, fast-forward a whole bunch of years,
138
341710
2190
好，講緊幾年後
我同幾個同事一齊受聘請去
05:55
some colleagues and I get hired
to make a show for Discovery Channel,
to make a show for Discovery Channel,
139
343924
3334
同探索頻道做一檔
叫做《流言終結者》嘅節目
叫做《流言終結者》嘅節目
05:59
called "MythBusters."
140
347282
1151
大概有 14 年嘅時間
06:00
And over 14 years,
141
348457
1166
06:01
I learn on the job how to build
experimental methodologies
experimental methodologies
142
349647
3174
我都喺度學習點樣去訂立實驗方法
06:04
and how to tell stories
about them for television.
about them for television.
143
352845
2579
同埋點樣喺電視上面講故事
06:07
I also learn early on
144
355796
1703
同時我又好早就知道
服裝可以對講故事起到舉足輕重嘅作用
06:09
that costuming can play a key role
in this storytelling.
in this storytelling.
145
357523
2859
我用服裝令我哋講述嘅故事
06:12
I use costumes to add humor, comedy, color
146
360406
4035
更加幽默、清晰，有喜劇效果、有色彩
06:16
and narrative clarity
to the stories we're telling.
to the stories we're telling.
147
364465
3023
06:19
And then we do an episode
called "Dumpster Diving,"
called "Dumpster Diving,"
148
367935
2759
後來當我哋做一集《垃圾搜尋》
我又有更深一層嘅體會
06:22
and I learn a little bit more
149
370718
2267
06:25
about the deeper implications
of what costuming means to me.
of what costuming means to me.
150
373009
3431
我領悟到服裝對我有更深嘅意義
喺《垃圾搜尋》呢一集
06:28
In the episode "Dumpster Diving,"
151
376464
1596
我哋想回答嘅問題係：
06:30
the question we were trying to answer is:
152
378084
1955
跳入一個大型垃圾裝卸卡車係唔係
真係好似電影裏面演嘅咁安全？
真係好似電影裏面演嘅咁安全？
06:32
Is jumping into a dumpster as safe
153
380063
1643
06:33
as the movies would lead you to believe?
154
381730
1976
（笑聲）
06:35
(Laughter)
155
383730
1774
呢一集係打算分成兩部份進行
06:37
The episode was going to have
two distinct parts to it.
two distinct parts to it.
156
385528
2635
一部份係我哋接受特技演員嘅訓練
06:40
One was where we get trained
to jump off buildings by a stuntman
to jump off buildings by a stuntman
157
388187
3055
學識從建築物跳到氣墊上面
06:43
into an air bag.
158
391266
1333
而第二部份就係嚟真嘅
06:44
And the second was the graduation
to the experiment:
to the experiment:
159
392623
2481
大型垃圾裝卸卡車會裝滿緩衝物料
俾我哋跳入去
俾我哋跳入去
06:47
we'd fill a dumpster full of material
and we'd jump into it.
and we'd jump into it.
160
395128
2845
06:49
I wanted to visually separate
these two elements,
these two elements,
161
397997
2287
我想呢兩部份
做到唔同嘅視覺效果
做到唔同嘅視覺效果
之後我諗︰「好，
06:52
and I thought,
162
400308
1157
既然第一部份我哋喺度訓練緊，
06:53
"Well, for the first part we're training,
so we should wear sweatsuits --
so we should wear sweatsuits --
163
401489
3684
咁我哋就應該著住運動衫。
06:57
Oh! Let's put 'Stunt Trainee'
on the back of the sweatsuits.
on the back of the sweatsuits.
164
405197
3748
唔得！不如將
『特技訓練生』印喺衫後面，
『特技訓練生』印喺衫後面，
話畀人知係訓練嘅。」
07:00
That's for the training."
165
408969
1344
但係到咗第二部份
07:02
But for the second part, I wanted
something really visually striking --
something really visually striking --
166
410337
3365
我想要視覺衝擊嘅效果
「我知道啦！
07:05
"I know! I'll dress as Neo
from 'The Matrix.'"
from 'The Matrix.'"
167
413726
2478
我會著成《黑客帝國》
嘅 Neo 咁。」
嘅 Neo 咁。」
07:08
(Laughter)
168
416228
1074
（笑聲）
所以我就去咗海特街
07:09
So I went to Haight Street.
169
417326
1310
買咗啲好靚、及膝、有皮帶扣嘅長靴
07:10
I bought some beautiful
knee-high, buckle boots.
knee-high, buckle boots.
170
418660
2579
跟住我又喺 eBay 度搵到一件褸
07:13
I found a long, flowing coat on eBay.
171
421263
2442
仲有一副墨鏡
07:15
I got sunglasses, which I had to wear
contact lenses in order to wear.
contact lenses in order to wear.
172
423729
3721
為咗戴墨鏡，我仲要特登戴隱形眼鏡
07:19
The day of the experiment shoot comes up,
173
427474
1980
做實驗嘅日子終於嚟嘞
我著住呢套衫落車
07:21
and I step out of my car in this costume,
174
429478
1968
之後我嘅劇組人員都望住我
07:23
and my crew takes a look at me ...
175
431470
1650
07:25
and start suppressing
their church giggles.
their church giggles.
176
433990
2409
個個人都喺度揞住嘴偷笑
07:28
They're like,
"(Laugh sound)."
"(Laugh sound)."
177
436893
3094
就好似咁 （大笑聲）
呢一刻我有一種冰火兩重天嘅感覺
07:32
And I feel two distinct things
at this moment.
at this moment.
178
440011
2431
非常尷尬
07:34
I feel total embarrassment
179
442466
1697
因為喺我同事睇嚟
07:36
over the fact that
it's so nakedly clear to my crew
it's so nakedly clear to my crew
180
444187
2746
我對呢套衫已經癡迷到走火入魔
07:38
that I'm completely
into wearing this costume.
into wearing this costume.
181
446957
2642
（笑聲）
07:41
(Laughter)
182
449623
1150
07:43
But the producer in my mind reminds myself
183
451328
3220
不過我腦裏面把聲喺度提醒我
喺高速鏡頭嘅慢動作裏面
07:46
that in the high-speed shot in slow-mo,
184
454572
2427
我件風褸迎風飄揚嗰時肯定好型
07:49
that flowing coat is going to look
beautiful behind me.
beautiful behind me.
185
457023
3093
（笑聲）
07:52
(Laughter)
186
460140
1150
同《流言終結者》做咗五年節目之後
07:54
Five years into the "MythBusters" run,
187
462012
1871
07:55
we got invited to appear
at San Diego Comic-Con.
at San Diego Comic-Con.
188
463907
2656
我哋收到聖地牙哥國際動漫展嘅邀請
我都知道咗呢個動漫展好多年
07:58
I'd known about Comic-Con for years
and never had time to go.
and never had time to go.
189
466587
3396
但係都冇時間去
08:02
This was the big leagues --
this was costuming mecca.
this was costuming mecca.
190
470007
3604
呢場動漫展好比
服裝界嘅盛事、服裝界嘅麥加
服裝界嘅盛事、服裝界嘅麥加
08:05
People fly in from all over the world
191
473635
2040
啲人從世界各地飛過去
08:07
to show their amazing creations
on the floor in San Diego.
on the floor in San Diego.
192
475699
3122
展示佢哋嘅驚世嘅作品
08:10
And I wanted to participate.
193
478845
1525
我都想去參加
我決定要精心製作一套
會將我從頭包到落腳嘅戰服
會將我從頭包到落腳嘅戰服
08:12
I decided that I would put together
an elaborate costume
an elaborate costume
194
480394
3062
08:15
that covered me completely,
195
483480
1434
08:16
and I would walk the floor
of San Diego Comic-Con anonymously.
of San Diego Comic-Con anonymously.
196
484938
3619
咁就冇人知道我喺
聖地牙哥國際動畫展嗰度
聖地牙哥國際動畫展嗰度
08:20
The costume I chose?
197
488581
1318
我揀咗邊件衫？
地獄男爵
08:21
Hellboy.
198
489923
1150
08:23
That's not my costume,
199
491493
1151
嗰個唔係我件衫
嗰個真係地獄男爵嚟！
08:24
that's actually Hellboy.
200
492668
1151
08:25
(Laughter)
201
493843
1019
（笑聲）
但係我洗咗幾個月嘅時間
08:26
But I spent months
202
494886
1158
08:28
assembling the most screen-accurate
Hellboy costume I could,
Hellboy costume I could,
203
496068
2840
盡可能還原地獄男爵喺螢屏上嘅形象
從佢嘅長靴，到皮帶，到長褲
08:30
from the boots to the belt to the pants
204
498932
1935
08:32
to the right hand of doom.
205
500891
1388
再到「毀滅之右手」
我搵人整咗地獄男爵頭部同胸部
08:34
I found a guy who made
a prosthetic Hellboy head and chest
a prosthetic Hellboy head and chest
206
502303
3391
跟住我將佢哋著上身
08:37
and I put them on.
207
505718
1289
我甚至搵到咗心水嘅隱形眼鏡
08:39
I even had contact lenses made
in my prescription.
in my prescription.
208
507031
3731
我著住呢套衫行入動漫展
08:42
I wore it onto the floor at Comic-Con
209
510786
2330
講真，著住件衫真是好鬼熱
08:45
and I can't even tell you
how balls hot it was in that costume.
how balls hot it was in that costume.
210
513140
4629
熱到你無法想像
（笑聲）
08:49
(Laughter)
211
517793
1040
大汗淋漓！我早就應該醒起
08:50
Sweating! I should've remembered this.
212
518857
2035
我不停咁飚汗，隱形眼鏡又好傷我對眼
08:52
I'm sweating buckets
and the contact lenses hurt my eyes,
and the contact lenses hurt my eyes,
213
520916
2889
但係呢啲都唔緊要
因為我愛上咗角色扮演
因為我愛上咗角色扮演
08:55
and none of it matters
because I'm totally in love.
because I'm totally in love.
214
523829
3549
（笑聲）
08:59
(Laughter)
215
527402
1150
09:01
Not just with the process of putting
on this costume and walking the floor,
on this costume and walking the floor,
216
529066
3563
不單止係因為可以著上套衫
喺動漫展度行
喺動漫展度行
仲因為我可以見到其他角色扮演者
09:04
but also with the community
of other costumers.
of other costumers.
217
532653
3579
但搞清楚，動漫展裏面嘅裝扮
係叫做「角色扮演」
係叫做「角色扮演」
09:08
It's not called costuming at Cons,
218
536256
1896
09:10
it's called "cosplay."
219
538176
1826
09:12
Now ostensibly, cosplay means
people who dress up
people who dress up
220
540026
2524
表面上，角色扮演就係
人著到佢哋最鍾意嘅電影電視角色咁
09:14
as their favorite characters
from film and television
from film and television
221
542574
2563
尤其係著到日本動漫咁
09:17
and especially anime,
222
545161
1184
但係當中含義唔係咁簡單
09:18
but it is so much more than that.
223
546369
2741
佢哋唔係搵到套衫著上身算
09:21
These aren't just people
who find a costume and put it on --
who find a costume and put it on --
224
549134
3061
佢哋將角色同自己融合起嚟
09:24
they mash them up.
225
552219
1397
佢哋令套衫嘅角色
跟住自己嘅諗法去做
跟住自己嘅諗法去做
09:25
They bend them to their will.
226
553640
1460
09:27
They change them to be the characters
they want to be in those productions.
they want to be in those productions.
227
555124
3792
當佢哋著住套衫個時
佢哋將角色變成心中想要嘅角色
09:30
They're super clever and genius.
228
558940
1916
佢哋係犀利嘅天才
佢哋做出好靚嘅嘢令人嘆服
09:32
They let their freak flag fly
and it's beautiful.
and it's beautiful.
229
560880
2663
09:35
(Laughter)
230
563567
1039
（笑聲）
除此之外，佢哋仲會排練
09:36
But more than that,
231
564630
1151
09:37
they rehearse their costumes.
232
565805
1453
09:39
At Comic-Con or any other Con,
233
567282
1476
喺聖地牙哥，或者任何其他嘅動漫展
你唔係淨係同
個啲行黎行去嘅人影相
個啲行黎行去嘅人影相
09:40
you don't just take pictures
of people walking around.
of people walking around.
234
568782
2547
實際上你會行上去講
09:43
You go up and say,
235
571353
1155
「嘿，我好鍾意你件衫，
唔知可不可以影相？」
唔知可不可以影相？」
09:44
"Hey, I like your costume,
can I take your picture?"
can I take your picture?"
236
572532
2452
之後你俾佢哋時間去擺甫士
09:47
And then you give them time
to get into their pose.
to get into their pose.
237
575008
2796
佢哋好努力咁擺姿勢
09:49
They've worked hard on their pose
238
577828
1670
就為咗你部相機可以影到靚嘅畫面
09:51
to make their costume look
great for your camera.
great for your camera.
239
579522
2620
09:54
And it's so beautiful to watch.
240
582166
2490
而呢一幕真係好靚，我會將佢記低
09:57
And I take this to heart.
241
585178
1431
喺後來嘅動漫展裏面
09:58
At subsequent Cons,
242
586633
1506
10:00
I learn Heath Ledger's shambling walk
as the Joker from "The Dark Knight."
as the Joker from "The Dark Knight."
243
588163
4393
我去學 Heath Ledger
喺《黑暗騎士》裏面
喺《黑暗騎士》裏面
扮演小丑一角嘅蹣跚步履
10:04
I learn how to be a scary Ringwraith
from "Lord of the Rings,"
from "Lord of the Rings,"
244
592580
3050
我去學點樣扮成《指環王》嘅恐怖戒靈
跟住我真係嚇親一啲細路仔
10:07
and I actually frighten some children.
245
595654
2061
我仲學識咗「呵呵笑」
10:09
I learned that "hrr hrr hrr" --
246
597739
1900
就好似楚巴卡喺《星球大戰》裏面咁笑
10:11
that head laugh that Chewbacca does.
247
599663
2137
10:14
And then I dressed up as
No-Face from "Spirited Away."
No-Face from "Spirited Away."
248
602625
2974
然後我扮成《千與千尋》嘅無面男
如果你唔知道《千與千尋》
10:17
If you don't know about "Spirited Away"
and its director, Hayao Miyazaki,
and its director, Hayao Miyazaki,
249
605623
3451
同埋佢嘅導演宮崎駿嘅話
我係好樂意講解下
10:21
first of all, you're welcome.
250
609098
1451
（笑聲）
10:22
(Laughter)
251
610573
1150
10:24
This is a masterpiece,
and one of my all-time favorite films.
and one of my all-time favorite films.
252
612136
3440
呢部電影真係一部傑作
一直都係我其中一齣最鍾意嘅電影
10:27
It's about a young girl named Chihiro
who gets lost in the spirit world
who gets lost in the spirit world
253
615600
4343
喺電影裏面
一個叫荻野千尋嘅女仔喺
日本嘅一個廢棄公園嘅
靈異世界嗰度蕩失路
靈異世界嗰度蕩失路
10:31
in an abandoned Japanese theme park.
254
619967
2333
喺幾個朋友嘅幫助之下
10:34
And she finds her way back out again
255
622324
1896
佢又重新搵到出返嚟嘅路
10:36
with the help of a couple
of friends she makes --
of friends she makes --
256
624244
2316
其中兩個朋友
10:38
a captured dragon named Haku
257
626584
1490
一個叫做白龍，一條被捉嘅龍嚟
10:40
and a lonely demon named No-Face.
258
628098
2264
另一個叫做無面男，孤獨魔鬼嚟
10:42
No-Face is lonely
and he wants to make friends,
and he wants to make friends,
259
630386
2870
無面男好孤單，佢好想同人做朋友
佢認為交朋友嘅方法
就係將佢哋誘惑到自己身邊
就係將佢哋誘惑到自己身邊
10:45
and he thinks the way to do it
is by luring them to him
is by luring them to him
260
633280
3165
10:48
and producing gold in his hand.
261
636469
2070
再喺手上變出金幣
但係呢種方法唔係咁好用
10:50
But this doesn't go very well,
262
638563
1751
所以最後佢性情暴變
10:52
and so he ends up going
on kind of a rampage
on kind of a rampage
263
640338
2817
直到荻野千尋拯救咗佢，佢先至平靜返
10:55
until Chihiro saves him,
264
643179
2256
10:57
rescues him.
265
645459
1189
我著上無面男套衫
10:59
So I put together a No-Face costume,
266
647081
2535
11:02
and I wore it on the floor at Comic-Con.
267
650731
2257
行入聖地牙哥國際動漫展嘅會場
我非常認真咁練習無面男嘅動作
11:05
And I very carefully practiced
No-Face's gestures.
No-Face's gestures.
268
653012
4721
我決定著住呢套衫個時唔出聲
11:09
I resolved I would not speak
in this costume at all.
in this costume at all.
269
657757
3614
11:13
When people asked to take my picture,
270
661395
2039
當有人想同我影相個時，我會點頭
11:15
I would nod
271
663458
1625
11:17
and I would shyly stand next to them.
272
665107
2421
同埋會好怕羞咁企喺佢哋隔籬
11:19
They would take the picture
273
667552
1666
當佢哋影相
11:21
and then I would secret out
from behind my robe
from behind my robe
274
669242
2714
我會偷偷地從我件長袍後面
摞出一塊朱古力金幣
摞出一塊朱古力金幣
11:23
a chocolate gold coin.
275
671980
1522
11:25
And at the end of the photo process,
I'd make it appear for them.
I'd make it appear for them.
276
673526
3368
等佢哋影完相之後，我會送佢哋金幣
啊，啊，啊！——就好似咁
11:28
Ah, ah ah! -- like that.
277
676918
2709
之後佢哋就會非常興奮
11:31
And people were freaking out.
278
679651
1383
11:33
"Holy crap! Gold from No-Face!
Oh my god, this is so cool!"
Oh my god, this is so cool!"
279
681058
3033
「天啊！無面男嘅金幣！
難以置信，太犀利啦！」
11:36
And I'm feeling and I'm walking
the floor and it's fantastic.
the floor and it's fantastic.
280
684115
3390
我好享受，之後我繼續喺動漫展度行
11:40
And about 15 minutes in something happens.
281
688006
2777
大概喺 15 分鐘之後，有件事發生咗
11:43
Somebody grabs my hand,
282
691368
2026
有人捉住咗我嘅手
佢哋俾返金幣我
11:46
and they put a coin back into it.
283
694014
2078
我覺得佢哋喺度回禮
11:48
And I think maybe they're giving me
a coin as a return gift,
a coin as a return gift,
284
696116
3196
但係唔係，呢個明明係我送出去嘅金幣
11:51
but no, this is one of the coins
that I'd given away.
that I'd given away.
285
699336
2533
11:54
I don't know why.
286
702229
1451
但我唔知道點解佢哋咁做
11:55
And I keep on going,
I take some more pictures.
I take some more pictures.
287
703704
2248
於是我繼續行，我又影咗更多嘅相
但又有人俾返金幣我
11:57
And then it happens again.
288
705976
1451
11:59
Understand, I can't see anything
inside this costume.
inside this costume.
289
707939
3211
你要知道，著住套衫嗰時
我乜都睇唔到
12:03
I can see through the mouth --
290
711174
1487
我可以通過面具嘅嘴睇到
12:04
I can see people's shoes.
291
712685
1619
啲人嘅鞋、佢哋講嘅嘢、佢哋對腳
12:06
I can hear what they're saying
and I can see their feet.
and I can see their feet.
292
714328
2815
12:09
But the third time someone
gives me back a coin,
gives me back a coin,
293
717167
2270
但係喺第三次有人將個金幣俾返我嗰時
12:11
I want to know what's going on.
294
719461
1658
我想知道到底發生咗啲乜嘢
12:13
So I sort of tilt my head back
to get a better view,
to get a better view,
295
721612
3059
為咗睇得清楚啲，我將頭稍微向後傾斜
我睇到有人從我身邊行開，就好似咁
12:16
and what I see is someone walking
away from me going like this.
away from me going like this.
296
724695
3314
12:22
And then it hits me:
297
730271
1502
呢一幕令我突然醒悟：
12:24
it's bad luck to take gold from No-Face.
298
732600
3633
摞到無面男嘅金幣係不祥之兆
因為喺電影《千與千尋》裏面
12:28
In the film "Spirited Away,"
299
736257
1912
如果有人向無面男摞咗金幣
12:30
bad luck befalls those
who take gold from No-Face.
who take gold from No-Face.
300
738193
3397
厄運就會降臨
12:34
This isn't a performer-audience
relationship; this is cosplay.
relationship; this is cosplay.
301
742351
6258
呢個唔係講緊演員同觀眾嘅關係
而係角色扮演背後嘅意義
12:41
We are, all of us on that floor,
302
749855
2213
我哋，全部喺會場上嘅人
都喺度將自己注入到
都喺度將自己注入到
12:44
injecting ourselves into a narrative
that meant something to us.
that meant something to us.
303
752092
3333
對我哋嚟講有某種意義嘅故事裏面
12:47
And we're making it our own.
304
755763
1845
再將佢變成我哋自己嘅故事
我哋內心深處都有啲重要嘅嘢
12:49
We're connecting with something
important inside of us.
important inside of us.
305
757632
4100
12:54
And the costumes
are how we reveal ourselves
are how we reveal ourselves
306
762333
3759
而服裝就係我哋表達內心嘅嘢畀其他人
12:58
to each other.
307
766116
1183
12:59
Thank you.
308
767984
1156
多謝
（掌聲）
