You know, what I do is write for children,
0
0
3000
كما تعلمون ان ما اقوم به هو الكتابه للاطفال,
00:18
and I'm probably America's
1
3000
2000
وانا على الارجح في امريكا
00:20
most widely read children's author, in fact.
2
5000
2000
المؤلف الاكثر قراءة من الاطفال,في الحقيقة
00:22
And I always tell people
3
7000
2000
وكما اخبر الناس دائما
00:24
that I don't want to show up looking like a scientist.
4
9000
3000
انني لا احب الظهور في صورة عالم
00:27
You can have me as a farmer, or in leathers,
5
12000
3000
يمكنك مشاهدتي كمزارع , او في ملابس جلدية,
00:30
and no one has ever chose farmer.
6
15000
3000
ولم يقم اي احد باختيار المزارع على الاطلاق
00:34
I'm here today to talk to you
7
19000
2000
انا هنا اليوم للحديث اليكم
00:36
about circles and epiphanies.
8
21000
2000
عن الدوائر وادراك الحقائق.
00:38
And you know, an epiphany
9
23000
2000
وكما تعلمون ,ادراك الحقيقة
00:40
is usually something you find that you dropped someplace.
10
25000
2000
هو غالبا ان تجد شيئا كنت قد اسقطته في مكان ما.
00:42
You've just got to go around the block
11
27000
2000
يتوجب عليك ان تدور حول الحائط
00:44
to see it as an epiphany.
12
29000
2000
لتراه كحقيقة مدركة
00:46
That's a painting of a circle.
13
31000
2000
ذلك رسم لدائرة
00:48
A friend of mine did that -- Richard Bollingbroke.
14
33000
3000
صديق لي فعل ذلك-- ريتشارد بولينجبروك.
00:51
It's the kind of complicated circle
15
36000
2000
كانت ذلك النوع من الدوائر المعقدة
00:53
that I'm going to tell you about.
16
38000
2000
وهو ما سوف اخبركم عنه.
00:55
My circle began back in the '60s
17
40000
3000
دائرتي تبدا في الستينات
00:58
in high school in Stow, Ohio
18
43000
2000
في المدرسة الثانوية في ستو , اوهيو
01:00
where I was the class queer.
19
45000
3000
حيث كنت انا الطالب الغريب الاطوار في الفصل.
01:03
I was the guy beaten up bloody
20
48000
2000
كنت ذلك الشاب الذي ضُرب بدموية
01:05
every week in the boys' room,
21
50000
2000
كل اسبوع في غرفة الاولاد
01:07
until one teacher saved my life.
22
52000
3000
حتى انقذت حياتي معلمة.
01:10
She saved my life by letting me go to the bathroom
23
55000
3000
اتقذت حياتي بأن سمحت لي بالذهاب الى دورة المياه
01:13
in the teachers' lounge.
24
58000
2000
في استراحة المعلمين.
01:15
She did it in secret.
25
60000
2000
فعلت ذلك سرا,
01:17
She did it for three years.
26
62000
2000
فعلت ذلك طوال ثلاثة سنين,
01:19
And I had to get out of town.
27
64000
3000
وكان علي مغادرة المدينة.
01:22
I had a thumb, I had 85 dollars,
28
67000
2000
كان لديّ فرصة, و لديّ 85$
01:24
and I ended up in San Francisco, California --
29
69000
4000
وانتهى بي الحال في سان فرانسيسكو,كاليفورنيا --
01:28
met a lover --
30
73000
3000
قابلت شريكا --
01:31
and back in the '80s, found it necessary
31
76000
2000
وفي الثمانينات, شعرت انه من الضروري
01:33
to begin work on AIDS organizations.
32
78000
5000
بدأ العمل في منظمات الايدز.
01:38
About three or four years ago,
33
83000
2000
قبل ثلاثة او اربعة اعوام,
01:40
I got a phone call in the middle of the night
34
85000
2000
تلقيت اتصالا في منتصف الليل
01:42
from that teacher, Mrs. Posten,
35
87000
3000
من المعلمة , السيدة بوستين
01:45
who said, "I need to see you.
36
90000
2000
التي قالت, " اريد مقابلتك.
01:47
I'm disappointed
37
92000
2000
اشعر بخيبة امل
01:49
that we never got to know each other as adults.
38
94000
3000
انه لم يكن لدينا الفرصة لنتعارف كبالغين.
01:52
Could you please come to Ohio,
39
97000
3000
رجاء هل بامكانك الحضور الى اوهايو,
01:55
and please bring that man
40
100000
2000
وارجوك احضر معك ذلك الرجل
01:57
that I know you have found by now.
41
102000
3000
الذي اعلم انك وجدته
02:00
And I should mention
42
105000
2000
واريد ان اذكر
02:02
that I have pancreatic cancer,
43
107000
3000
انني مصابة بسرطان البنكرياس,
02:05
and I'd like you to please
44
110000
2000
وارجوك ان تكون
02:07
be quick about this."
45
112000
3000
سريعا بهذا الخصوص."
02:10
Well, the next day we were in Cleveland.
46
115000
2000
حسنا,في اليوم التالي كنا في كليفلاند.
02:12
We took a look at her, we laughed, we cried,
47
117000
3000
القينا نظرة عليها, ضحكنا , وبكينا,
02:15
and we knew that she needed to be in a hospice.
48
120000
4000
وعلمنا انها في حاجة للانتقال الى نزل.
02:19
We found her one, we got her there,
49
124000
2000
وجدنا لها مكانا ونقلناها الى هناك,
02:21
and we took care of her
50
126000
2000
واعتنينا بها
02:23
and watched over her family,
51
128000
2000
وايضا تابعنا عائلتها,
02:25
because it was necessary.
52
130000
2000
لان ذلك كان ضروريا,
02:27
It's something we knew how to do.
53
132000
2000
وكان شيئا عرفنا كيف نقوم به.
02:29
And just as the woman who wanted to know me as an adult
54
134000
4000
وكأمرأة ارادت ان نتعارف كبالغين
02:33
got to know me,
55
138000
2000
تعرفت علي,
02:35
she turned into a box of ashes
56
140000
2000
تحولت الى صندوق من الرماد
02:37
and was placed in my hands.
57
142000
3000
تم وضعه بين يدي.
02:40
And what had happened
58
145000
2000
والذي حصل
02:42
was the circle had closed,
59
147000
2000
ان الدائرة تم اغلاقها,
02:44
it had become a circle --
60
149000
3000
اصبحت دائرة--
02:47
and that epiphany I talked about
61
152000
2000
وذلك الادراك الشيء الذي تحدثت عنه
02:49
presented itself.
62
154000
2000
هاهو يقدم نفسه
02:51
The epiphany is
63
156000
2000
ادراك الحقيقة هو
02:53
that death is a part of life.
64
158000
2000
ان الموت جزء من الحياة.
02:55
She saved my life;
65
160000
3000
هي أنقذت حياتي,
02:58
I and my partner saved hers.
66
163000
4000
وصديقي أنقذ حياتها.
03:02
And you know, that part of life needs everything
67
167000
2000
وكما تعلمون,ذلك الجزء من الحياة يحتاج كل الاشياء
03:04
that the rest of life does.
68
169000
2000
التي تحتاجها بقية الحياة
03:06
It needs truth and beauty,
69
171000
2000
يحتاج الصدق والجمال,
03:08
and I'm so happy it's been mentioned so much here today.
70
173000
3000
وانا سعيد ان ذلك ذكر هنا كثيرا هذا اليوم,
03:11
It also needs --
71
176000
3000
وايضا يحتاج--
03:14
it needs dignity,
72
179000
2000
يحتاج الكرامة,
03:16
love and pleasure,
73
181000
2000
الحب والسعادة.
03:18
and it's our job to hand those things out.
74
183000
3000
وهذه وظيفتنا ان نوصل هذه الامور للاخرين.
03:21
Thank you.
75
186000
2000
شكرا لكم

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jok Church - CartoonistJok Church created the science-education comic strip "You Can with Beakman and Jax" and the zany TV series "Beakman's World."
Why you should listen
In his work, Jok Church loved helping kids learn basic concepts of science and experimentation -- with a healthy dash of fun. He created his comic strip You Can with Beakman & Jax in 1991 for his local newspaper in Marin County, California -- inspired by a stint answering kids' letters for Lucasfilm. The comic strip does not answer readers' questions directly. Rather, it gives directions to do a thing, a procedure, an experiment to learn the answer. It's about learning by doing. Active. Not passive.
Six Beakman & Jax books are best-sellers. Church created the long-running TV series Beakman's World, a hit in English and Spanish, and helped create the Beakman's World on Tour exhibit for science centers and museums. A longtime techie, he also served as the webmaster for artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Church died April 29, 2016, and will be much missed.
