00:26
Mockingbirds are badass.
0
1000
2000
Els mims són uns ocells flipants.
00:28
(Laughter)
1
3000
1000
(Riures)
00:29
They are.
2
4000
2000
Ho són.
00:31
Mockingbirds -- that's Mimus polyglottos --
3
6000
2000
Els mims, o Mimus polyglottus,
00:33
are the emcees of the animal kingdom.
4
8000
2000
són els mestres de cerimònies del regne animal.
00:35
They listen and mimic and remix what they like.
5
10000
2000
Ells escolten, imiten i remesclen tot el que els agrada.
00:37
They rock the mic outside my window every morning.
6
12000
2000
Munten la seva simfonia a la meva finestra cada matí.
00:39
I can hear them sing the sounds of the car alarms
7
14000
3000
Els escolto cantar sons de les alarmes dels cotxes
00:42
like they were songs of spring.
8
17000
2000
com si fossin cançons de primavera.
00:44
I mean, if you can talk it, a mockingbird can squawk it.
9
19000
2000
O sigui, que el que tu diguis, un mim ho imita amb un grall.
00:46
So check it, I'm gonna to catch mockingbirds.
10
21000
2000
Així que atents, jo caçaré mims.
00:48
I'm going to trap mockingbirds all across the nation
11
23000
3000
Els atraparé per tot el país
00:51
and put them gently into mason jars like mockingbird Molotov cocktails.
12
26000
3000
i els posaré en pots de conserva com còctels Molotov de mim.
00:54
(Laughter)
13
29000
1000
(Riures)
00:55
Yeah. And as I drive through a neighborhood,
14
30000
2000
Sí. I quan vagi circulant per un barri
00:57
say, where people got-a-lotta, I'll take a mockingbird I caught
15
32000
3000
on la gent té de tot, agafaré un dels mims que hauré atrapat
01:00
in a neighborhood where folks ain't got nada and just let it go, you know.
16
35000
3000
en un altre barri on la gent no té res i el deixaré anar.
01:03
Up goes the bird, out come the words, "Juanito, Juanito,
17
38000
3000
Allà va l'ocellet, allí van les seves paraules: "¡Juanito, Juanito,
01:06
vente a comer mi hijo!"
18
41000
2000
vente a comer, mi hijo!".
01:08
Oh, I'm going to be the Johnny Appleseed of sound.
19
43000
3000
Oh, em convertiré en el Johnny Appleseed del so!
01:11
(Laughter)
20
46000
1000
(Riures)
01:12
Cruising random city streets, rocking a drop-top Cadillac
21
47000
3000
Recorreré carrers a l'atzar, vacil·lant amb un Cadillac descapotable
01:15
with a big backseat, packing like 13 brown paper Walmart bags
22
50000
3000
amb un gran seient del darrere, amb 13 bosses de paper del supermercat
01:18
full of loaded mockingbirds, and I'll get everybody.
23
53000
3000
plenes de mims carregats, i arribaré a tothom.
01:21
(Laughter)
24
56000
1000
(Riures)
01:22
I'll get the nitwit on the network news saying,
25
57000
2000
Enganxaré l'idiota de les notícies dient:
01:24
"We'll be back in a moment with more on the crisis."
26
59000
2000
"Tornarem d'aquí a un moment amb més sobre la crisi".
01:26
I'll get some asshole at a watering hole asking what brand the ice is.
27
61000
2000
Enganxaré un imbècil en un bar de mala mort preguntant de quina marca és el gel.
01:28
I'll get that lady at the laundromat who always seems to know what being nice is.
28
63000
3000
Enganxaré la senyora de la bugaderia que sempre té tan clar el que és ser bo.
01:31
I'll get your postman making dinner plans.
29
66000
3000
Enganxaré el carter fent plans per al sopar.
01:34
I'll get the last time you lied.
30
69000
2000
T'enganxaré l'última mentida que vas dir.
01:36
I'll get, "Baby, just give me the frickin' TV guide."
31
71000
2000
Aconseguiré aquell "Estimat, dóna'm la punyetera guia de la TV".
01:38
I'll get a lonely, little sentence with real error in it,
32
73000
2000
Enganxaré una solitària i breu frase amb un autèntic error:
01:40
"Yeah, I guess I could come inside, but only for a minute."
33
75000
2000
"Sí, suposo que podria entrar, però només un minut".
01:42
(Laughter)
34
77000
1000
(Riures)
01:43
I'll get an ESL class in Chinatown learning "It's Raining, It's Pouring."
35
78000
4000
Enganxaré uns alumnes d'anglès a Chinatown que aprenen "It's raining, it's pouring".
01:47
I'll put a mockingbird on a late-night train just to get an old man snoring.
36
82000
3000
Posaré un mim a un tren nocturn per enganxar un vell roncant.
01:50
I'll get your ex-lover telling someone else, "Good morning."
37
85000
3000
Enganxaré el teu examant dient-li a una altra persona: "Bon dia".
01:53
I'll get everyone's good mornings.
38
88000
2000
Gravaré tots els "bon dia".
01:55
I don't care how you make 'em.
39
90000
2000
M'és igual com els doneu:
01:57
Aloha. Konichiwa. Shalom. Ah-Salam Alaikum.
40
92000
3000
aloha, konnichiwa, shalom, as-salam alaikum.
02:00
Everybody means everybody, means everybody here.
41
95000
2000
Tothom vol dir tothom, vol dir tothom d'aquí.
02:02
And so maybe I'll build a gilded cage.
42
97000
2000
I potser construeixi una gàbia daurada.
02:04
I'll line the bottom with old notebook pages.
43
99000
2000
Cobriré el fons amb les pàgines d'un vell quadern.
02:06
Inside it, I will place a mockingbird for --
44
101000
3000
Dins hi posaré un mim per...
02:09
short explanation, hippie parents.
45
104000
2000
en poques paraules: pares hippies.
02:11
(Laughter)
46
106000
1000
(Riures)
02:12
What does a violin have to do with technology?
47
107000
3000
Què té a veure un violí amb la tecnologia?
02:15
Where in the world is this world heading?
48
110000
2000
Cap a on es dirigeix el món?
02:17
On one end, gold bars --
49
112000
3000
En un extrem, barrots daurats;
02:20
on the other, an entire planet.
50
115000
2000
a l'altre, un planeta sencer.
02:22
We are 12 billion light years from the edge.
51
117000
3000
Estem a 12.000 milions d'anys llum del límit.
02:25
That's a guess.
52
120000
1000
És una conjectura.
02:26
Space is length and breadth continued indefinitely,
53
121000
3000
L'espai és longitud i amplada que continuen indefinidament,
02:29
but you cannot buy a ticket to travel commercially to space in America
54
124000
3000
però als Estats Units no pots comprar un bitllet per viatjar a l'espai,
02:32
because countries are beginning to eat like us, live like us and die like us.
55
127000
3000
perquè els països comencen a menjar, viure i morir com nosaltres.
02:35
You might wanna avert your gaze, because that
56
130000
2000
Podríeu voler apartar la mirada, perquè això
02:37
is a newt about to regenerate its limb,
57
132000
3000
és un tritó a punt de regenerar la seva cua,
02:40
and shaking hands spreads more germs than kissing.
58
135000
3000
i donar la mà propaga més gèrmens que besar-se.
02:43
There's about 10 million phage per job.
59
138000
2000
Hi ha uns 10 milions de fags per feina.
02:45
It's a very strange world inside a nanotube.
60
140000
3000
És un món molt estrany dins d'un nanotub.
02:48
Women can talk; black men ski; white men build strong buildings;
61
143000
4000
Les dones poden parlar; els negres esquien; els blancs construeixen edificis forts;
02:52
we build strong suns.
62
147000
2000
construïm sols forts.
02:54
The surface of the Earth is absolutely riddled with holes,
63
149000
3000
La superfície de la Terra està completament plena de forats,
02:57
and here we are, right in the middle.
64
152000
4000
i aquí estem nosaltres, just al mig.
03:01
(Laughter)
65
156000
1000
(Riures)
03:02
It is the voice of life that calls us to come and learn.
66
157000
3000
La veu de la vida ens crida per venir i aprendre.
03:05
When all the little mockingbirds fly away,
67
160000
2000
Quan tots els petits mims volin lliures,
03:07
they're going to sound like the last four days.
68
162000
3000
sonaran com els últims quatre dies.
03:10
I will get uptown gurus, downtown teachers,
69
165000
3000
Enganxaré gurus de barri residencial, professors del centre,
03:13
broke-ass artists and dealers, and Filipino preachers, leaf blowers,
70
168000
3000
artistes i marxants desfasats, predicadors filipins, bufadors de fulles,
03:16
bartenders, boob-job doctors, hooligans, garbage men,
71
171000
2000
cambrers, cirurgians plàstics, ultres, escombriaires,
03:18
your local Congressmen in the spotlight, guys in the overhead helicopters.
72
173000
2000
els teus diputats al punt de mira, homes en helicòpters sobrevolant.
03:20
Everybody gets heard.
73
175000
2000
Tots són escoltats.
03:22
Everybody gets this one, honest mockingbird as a witness.
74
177000
4000
Tothom té aquest mim sincer com a testimoni.
03:26
And I'm on this.
75
181000
2000
I jo estic amb això.
03:28
I'm on this 'til the whole thing spreads,
76
183000
2000
Estic en això fins que tot es difongui,
03:30
with chat rooms and copycats and moms maybe tucking kids into bed
77
185000
2000
amb sales de xat i imitacions, i potser mares posant a dormir els nens
03:32
singing, "Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
78
187000
3000
cantant: "Dorm, nen, no diguis res,
03:35
Wait for the man with the mockingbird."
79
190000
3000
espera el senyor del mim".
03:38
(Laughter)
80
193000
1000
(Riures)
03:39
Yeah. And then come the news crews, and
81
194000
2000
Sí. I després vénen els equips de notícies,
03:41
the man-in-the-street interviews, and the letters to the editor.
82
196000
2000
i les entrevistes de carrer, les cartes al director.
03:43
Everybody asking, just who is responsible for this citywide,
83
198000
3000
Tothom preguntant: qui és el responsable d'aquesta cacofonia
03:46
nationwide mockingbird cacophony, and somebody finally is going to tip
84
201000
3000
de mims per tota la ciutat, per tot el país; i algú, al final,
03:49
the City Council of Monterey, California off to me,
85
204000
3000
avisarà l'Ajuntament de Monterrey, Califòrnia, i arribarà fins a mi,
03:52
and they'll offer me a key to the city.
86
207000
2000
i m'oferiran la clau de la ciutat.
03:54
A gold-plated, oversized key to the city
87
209000
2000
Una enorme clau de la ciutat banyada d'or;
03:56
and that is all I need, 'cause if I get that, I can unlock the air.
88
211000
4000
això és tot el que necessito, perquè amb ella, puc obrir l'aire.
04:00
I'll listen for what's missing, and I'll put it there.
89
215000
4000
Escoltaré el que falta i ho posaré allà.
04:04
Thank you, TED.
90
219000
1000
Gràcies, TED.
04:05
(Applause)
91
220000

(Aplaudiments)
04:06
Chris Anderson: Wow.
92
221000
1000
[Chris Anderson:] Uau!
04:07
(Applause)
93
222000

Wow.
94

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rives - Performance poet, multimedia artistPerformance artist and storyteller Rives has been called "the first 2.0 poet," using images, video and technology to bring his words to life.
Why you should listen
Part poet, part storyteller, part philosopher, Rives is the co-host of TEDActive as well as a frequent TED speaker. On stage, his poems burst in many directions, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold. Chimborazo.
A regular on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Rives also starred alongside model Bar Refaeli in the 2008 Bravo special Ironic Iconic America, touring the United States on a "roller coaster ride through the eye-popping panorama of American pop culture." Flat pages can't contain his storytelling, even when paper is his medium. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
His latest project—the Museum of Four in the Morning—is an ode to a time that may well be part of a global conspiracy. In a good way.
