This is a recent comic strip from the Los Angeles Times.

2000
Ovo je nedavno objavljeni strip iz Los Angeles Times-a.
00:29
The punch line?
1
4000
2000
Poanta?
00:31
"On the other hand, I don't have to get up at four
2
6000
2000
"S druge strane, ne moram ustati u četiri
00:33
every single morning to milk my Labrador."
3
8000
2000
baš svakog jutra zbog mužnje svojeg labradora."
00:35
This is a recent cover of New York Magazine.

Ovo je naslovnica nedavno objavljenog New York Magazine-a.
00:38
Best hospitals where doctors say they would go for cancer treatment,
5
13000
3000
Najbolje bolnice u kojima liječnici kažu da rješavaju karcinome,
00:41
births, strokes, heart disease, hip replacements, 4 a.m. emergencies.
6
16000
5000
porođaje, infarkta, mijenjaju kukove ...i hitna stanja u 4 sata ujutro.
00:46
And this is a song medley I put together --
7
21000
2000
A ovo je niz pjesama kojeg sam složio...
00:49
(Music)
8
24000
19000
(glazba)
01:09
Did you ever notice that four in the morning has become
9
44000
2000
Jeste li ikada primijetili kako je 4 sata ujutro postalo
01:11
some sort of meme or shorthand?
10
46000
3000
nekakva vrsta meme ili skraćenice?
01:14
It means something like you are awake at the worst possible hour.
11
49000
4000
To znači da ste budni u najgori mogući sat.
01:18
(Laughter)
12
53000
1000
(smijeh)
01:19
A time for inconveniences, mishaps, yearnings.
13
54000
5000
Vrijeme za neugodnosti, nezgode, čežnje.
01:24
A time for plotting to whack the chief of police,
14
59000
3000
Vrijeme kada planirate ukokati šefa policije,
01:27
like in this classic scene from "The Godfather."
15
62000
2000
kao u klasičnoj sceni iz "Kuma".
01:29
Coppola's script describes these guys as, "exhausted in shirt sleeves.
16
64000
3000
Coppolin scenarij opisuje ove momke kao "iscrpljene, u košuljama...
01:32
It is four in the morning."
17
67000
2000
4 je sata ujutro."
01:34
(Laughter)
18
69000
1000
(smijeh)
01:35
A time for even grimmer stuff than that,
19
70000
2000
Vrijeme čak i za grozomornije stvari,
01:37
like autopsies and embalmings in Isabel Allende's
20
72000
3000
poput obdukcije i balzamiranja u knjizi Isabel Allende
01:40
"The House of the Spirits."
21
75000
2000
"Kuća duhova".
01:42
After the breathtaking green-haired Rosa is murdered,
22
77000
2000
Nakon što je prelijepa zelenokosa Rosa ubijena,
01:44
the doctors preserve her with unguents and morticians' paste.
23
79000
3000
liječnici su je premazali mašću i pogrebnikovom pastom.
01:47
They worked until four o'clock in the morning.
24
82000
3000
Radili su do 4 ujutro.
01:50
A time for even grimmer stuff than that,
25
85000
3000
Vrijeme za tmurnije stvari i od ovih,
01:53
like in last April's New Yorker magazine.
26
88000
3000
poput ove u časopisu New Yorker prošloga travnja,
01:56
This short fiction piece by Martin Amis
27
91000
2000
kratka priča Martina Amisa
01:58
starts out, "On September 11, 2001, he opened his eyes
28
93000
4000
počinje ovako, "Otvorio je oči 11. rujna 2001.
02:02
at 4 a.m. in Portland, Maine,
29
97000
2000
u 4 sata ujutro, u Portlandu, Maine,
02:04
and Mohamed Atta's last day began."
30
99000
4000
i započeo je posljednji dan Muhameda Ate."
02:08
For a time that I find to be the most placid
31
103000
3000
Za vrijeme dana koje je meni najmirnije
02:11
and uneventful hour of the day, four in the morning sure gets
32
106000
4000
i s najmanje događanja, 4 sata ujutro itekako dobiva
02:15
an awful lot of bad press --
33
110000
2000
mnogo lošeg publiciteta...
02:17
(Laughter)
34
112000
1000
(smijeh)
02:18
across a lot of different media from a lot of big names.
35
113000
3000
u raznim medijima i od mnogih velikana.
02:21
And it made me suspicious.
36
116000
3000
Pa sam postao sumnjičav.
02:24
I figured, surely some of the most creative artistic minds in the world, really,
37
119000
4000
Pomislio sam, pa sigurno većina kreativnih umova na svijetu
02:28
aren't all defaulting back to this one easy trope
38
123000
4000
ne pribjegava ovoj učestaloj usporedbi
02:32
like they invented it, right?
39
127000
2000
kao da je prvi puta spominju, zar ne?
02:34
Could it be there is something more going on here?
40
129000
3000
Je li je moguće da tu ima nešto više?
02:37
Something deliberate, something secret,
41
132000
3000
Nešto namjerno, nešto tajno,
02:40
and who got the four in the morning bad rap ball rolling anyway?
42
135000
4000
i tko je uopće prvi oklevetao 4 sata ujutro?
02:44
I say this guy -- Alberto Giacometti, shown here
43
139000
4000
Ja kažem, ovaj tip - Alberto Giacometti, prikazan uz
02:48
with some of his sculptures on the Swiss 100 franc note.
44
143000
3000
neke od svojih radova na novčanici od 100 švicarskih franaka.
02:51
He did it with this famous piece
45
146000
2000
Učinio je to svojim poznatim djelom
02:53
from the New York Museum of Modern Art.
46
148000
2000
iz Muzeja moderne umjetnosti u New Yorku.
02:55
Its title -- "The Palace at Four in the Morning --
47
150000
3000
Naziv? "Dvorac u 4 ujutro"
02:58
(Laughter)
48
153000
1000
(smijeh)
03:00
1932.
49
155000
3000
1932.
03:03
Not just the earliest cryptic reference
50
158000
2000
To ne samo da je najraniji zagonetni zapis
03:05
to four in the morning I can find.
51
160000
1000
o 4 sata ujutro kojeg sam pronašao.
03:06
I believe that this so-called first surrealist sculpture
52
161000
4000
Vjerujem da je ova takozvana prva nadrealistička skulptura
03:10
may provide an incredible key to virtually
53
165000
4000
nevjerojatan ključ za gotovo svaki
03:14
every artistic depiction of four in the morning to follow it.
54
169000
3000
umjetnički opis 4 sata ujutro koji je uslijedio.
03:17
I call this The Giacometti Code, a TED exclusive.
55
172000
4000
Ja to zovem Giacomettijev kod, ekskluzivno za TED.
03:21
No, feel free to follow along on your Blackberries
56
176000
3000
Ne, slobodno ovo provjerite na svom Blackberry-u
03:24
or your iPhones if you've got them.
57
179000
2000
ili iPhone-u, ako ih imate.
03:26
It works a little something like -- this is a recent Google search
58
181000
3000
to ovako nekako izgleda... Ovo je nedavna Google pretraga
03:29
for four in the morning.
59
184000
2000
na temu 4 sata ujutro.
03:31
Results vary, of course. This is pretty typical.
60
186000
2000
Rezultati variraju, naravno. Ovo je dosta tipično.
03:33
The top 10 results yield you
61
188000
2000
Prvih deset rezultata dati će vam
03:35
four hits for Faron Young's song, "It's Four in the Morning,"
62
190000
5000
četiri navoda pjesme Farona Younga, "4 je sata ujutro",
03:40
three hits for Judi Dench's film, "Four in the Morning,"
63
195000
4000
tri o filmu Judi Dench, "4 sata ujutro",
03:44
one hit for Wislawa Szymborska's poem, "Four in the Morning."
64
199000
4000
i jedan navod za pjesmu Wislawe Szymborske "4 sata ujutro".
03:48
But what, you may ask, do a Polish poet, a British Dame,
65
203000
4000
Ali što, možda se pitate, poljska pjesnikinja, britanska dama,
03:52
a country music hall of famer all have in common
66
207000
3000
i poznati country glazbenik mogu imati zajedničko
03:55
besides this totally excellent Google ranking?
67
210000
3000
osim ovoga zbilja izvrstnog rasporeda na Google-u?
03:58
Well, let's start with Faron Young -- who was born incidentally
68
213000
5000
Pa počnimo sa Faronom Youngom - koji je slučajno rođen
04:03
in 1932.
69
218000
2000
1932.
04:05
(Laughter)
70
220000
2000
(smijeh)
04:07
In 1996, he shot himself in the head on December ninth --
71
222000
6000
Upucao se u glavu 9. prosinca 1996. -
04:13
which incidentally is Judi Dench's birthday.
72
228000
3000
što je, slučajnošću, rođendan Judi Dench.
04:16
(Laughter)
73
231000
3000
(smijeh)
04:19
But he didn't die on Dench's birthday.
74
234000
2000
Ali nije umro na njen rođendan.
04:21
He languished until the following afternoon when he finally succumbed
75
236000
3000
Patio se sve do idućeg popodneva kada je podlegao
04:24
to a supposedly self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 64 --
76
239000
5000
ozljedi koju je, navodno, sam sebi nanio u 64. godini života...
04:29
which incidentally is how old Alberto Giacometti was when he died.
77
244000
5000
a toliko je, sasvim slučajno, imao Alberto Giacometti kada je umro.
04:34
Where was Wislawa Szymborska during all this?
78
249000
2000
I gdje je Wislawa Szymborska u to vrijeme?
04:36
She has the world's most absolutely watertight alibi.
79
251000
4000
Ona ima najčvršći alibi na cijelom svijetu.
04:40
On that very day, December 10, 1996 while Mr. Four in the Morning,
80
255000
5000
Tog istog dana, 10. prosinca 1996., dok je gospodin Četiri-sata-ujutro,
04:45
Faron Young, was giving up the ghost in Nashville, Tennessee,
81
260000
3000
Faron Young, napuštao svijet u Nashvilleu, Tennessee,
04:48
Ms. Four in the Morning -- or one of them anyway -- Wislawa Szymborska
82
263000
3000
gospođica Četiri-sata-ujutro - ili barem jedna od njih - Wislawa Szymborska
04:52
was in Stockholm, Sweden, accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature.
83
267000
5000
bila je u Stockholmu u Švedskoj i primala Nobelovu nagradu za književnost.
04:57
100 years to the day after the death of Alfred Nobel himself.
84
272000
5000
U dan točno stotinu godina nakon smrti samog Alfreda Nobela.
05:02
Coincidence? No, it's creepy.
85
277000
2000
Slučajnost? Ne, to je jezivo.
05:04
(Laughter)
86
279000
2000
(smijeh)
05:06
Coincidence to me has a much simpler metric.
87
281000
2000
Slučajnost je za mene mnogo jednostavnija magija.
05:08
That's like me telling you,
88
283000
1000
To je kao kad vam ja kažem,
05:09
"Hey, you know the Nobel Prize was established in 1901,
89
284000
3000
"Hej, znate, Nobelova nagrada je osnovana 1901.,
05:12
which coincidentally is the same year Alberto Giacometti was born?"
90
287000
5000
što je sasvim slučajno godina rođenja Alberta Giacomettija?"
05:17
No, not everything fits so tidily into the paradigm,
91
292000
4000
Ne, ne uklapa se sve tako savršeno u ovu paradigmu,
05:21
but that does not mean there's not something going on
92
296000
3000
ali to ne znači da se nešto ne događa
05:24
at the highest possible levels.
93
299000
2000
na najvišim mogućim razinama.
05:26
In fact there are people in this room
94
301000
2000
Zapravo, u ovoj sobi ima ljudi
05:28
who may not want me to show you this clip we're about to see.
95
303000
4000
koji možda ne žele da vam pokažem ovaj snimak kojeg ćete vidjeti.
05:32
(Laughter)
96
307000
1000
(smijeh)
05:33
Video: Homer Simpson: We have a tennis court, a swimming pool, a screening room --
97
308000
2000
IMAMO TENISKI TEREN, BAZEN, SOBU ZA NADZOR...
05:35
You mean if I want pork chops, even in the middle of the night,
98
310000
3000
MISLITE AKO JA POŽELIM SVINJSKE ODRESKE, ČAK I USRED NOĆI,
05:38
your guy will fry them up?
99
313000
2000
VAŠ ČOVJEK ĆE IH ISPEĆI?
05:40
Herbert Powell: Sure, that's what he's paid for.
100
315000
2000
NARAVNO, ZA TO JE PLAĆEN.
05:42
Now do you need towels, laundry, maids?
101
317000
3000
A TREBATE LI RUČNIKE, DONJE RUBLJE, SOBARICE?
05:45
HS: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait -- let me see if I got this straight.
102
320000
3000
ČEK', ČEK', ČEK', ČEK', ČEK', ČEK' -- DA VIDIM JESAM LI DOBRO RAZUMIO.
05:48
It is Christmas Day, 4 a.m.
103
323000
2000
BOŽIĆ JE, 4 SATA UJUTRO
05:50
There's a rumble in my stomach.
104
325000
2000
KRULJI MI U TRBUHU.
05:52
Marge Simpson: Homer, please.
105
327000
2000
HOMERE, MOLIM TE.
05:54
Rives: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
106
329000
2000
Ček', ček', ček', ček', ček', ček', ček'.
05:56
Let me see if I got this straight, Matt.
107
331000
3000
Da vidim jesam li dobro razumio, Matt.
05:59
(Laughter)
108
334000
2000
(smijeh)
06:01
When Homer Simpson needs to imagine
109
336000
3000
Kada Homer Simpson treba zamisliti
06:04
the most remote possible moment of not just the clock,
110
339000
3000
najužasniji mogući trenutak, i to ne samo u 24 sata,
06:07
but the whole freaking calendar, he comes up with 0400
111
342000
4000
već u cijeloj godini, za njega je to 4 sata ujutro
06:11
on the birthday of the Baby Jesus.
112
346000
2000
na dan rođenja malog Isusa.
06:13
And no, I don't know how it works
113
348000
3000
I ne, ne znam kako se to uklapa
06:16
into the whole puzzling scheme of things, but obviously
114
351000
4000
u ovu zagonetnu shemu, ali očigledno,
06:20
I know a coded message when I see one.
115
355000
4000
znam što je kodirana poruka kad je vidim.
06:24
(Laughter)
116
359000
1000
(smijeh)
06:25
I said, I know a coded message when I see one.
117
360000
4000
Kažem, znam što je kodirana poruka kad je spazim.
06:29
And folks, you can buy a copy of Bill Clinton's "My Life"
118
364000
3000
Ljudi, možete kupiti primjerak knjige Billa Clintona "Moj život"
06:32
from the bookstore here at TED.
119
367000
2000
ovdje u knjižari na TED-u.
06:34
Parse it cover to cover for whatever hidden references you want.
120
369000
3000
Analizirajte je od korica do korica u potrazi za skrivenim navodima.
06:37
Or you can go to the Random House website where there is this excerpt.
121
372000
3000
Ili posjetite web stranicu "Random House" gdje je ovaj izvadak.
06:40
And how far down into it you figure we'll have to scroll
122
375000
2000
I, što mislite, koliko ćemo dugo morati vrtjeti stranicu
06:42
to get to the golden ticket?
123
377000
3000
dok ne dođemo do zlatne karike?
06:45
Would you believe about a dozen paragraphs?
124
380000
3000
Možete li vjerovati, oko dvanaest odlomaka?
06:48
This is page 474 on your paperbacks if you're following along:
125
383000
3000
Ovo je 474. stranica u vašim knjigama, ako pratite:
06:51
"Though it was getting better, I still wasn't satisfied
126
386000
3000
"Iako je bio sve bolji, i dalje nisam bio zadovoljan
06:54
with the inaugural address.
127
389000
2000
inauguracijskim govorom.
06:56
My speechwriters must have been tearing their hair out
128
391000
3000
Moji pisci govora vjerojatno su čupali kosu,
06:59
because as we worked between one and four in the morning
129
394000
3000
jer dok smo radili između 1 i 4 sata ujutro
07:02
on Inauguration Day, I was still changing it."
130
397000
4000
na dan inauguracije, ja sam ga i dalje mijenjao."
07:06
Sure you were, because you've prepared your entire life
131
401000
3000
Naravno da jesi, jer si se cijeloga života pripremao
07:09
for this historic quadrennial event that just sort of sneaks up on you.
132
404000
4000
za tu povijesnu četveroljetku koja ti se, kao, prišuljala.
07:13
And then --
133
408000
1000
I onda...
07:14
(Laughter)
134
409000
2000
(smijeh)
07:16
three paragraphs later we get this little beauty:
135
411000
4000
tri odlomka niže dobijemo ovu ljepotu:

"We went back to Blair House to look at the speech for the last time.
136
416000
3000
"Otišli smo natrag do Kuće Blair da posljednji puta pregledamo govor.
07:24
It had gotten a lot better since 4 a.m."
137
419000
3000
Puno se poboljšao od 4 ujutro."
07:27
Well, how could it have?
138
422000
2000
Kako je to moguće?
07:29
By his own writing, this man was either asleep,
139
424000
2000
Prema njegovom vlastitu pisanju, čovjek je ili spavao,
07:31
at a prayer meeting with Al and Tipper or learning how to launch
140
426000
3000
bio na molitvenom sastanku s Alom i Tipperom ili je učio kako lansirati
07:34
a nuclear missile out of a suitcase.
141
429000
3000
nuklearni projektil iz aktovke.
07:37
What happens to American presidents at 0400 on inauguration day?
142
432000
4000
Što se događa sa američkim predsjednicima u 4 sata ujutro na dan inauguracije?
07:41
What happened to William Jefferson Clinton?
143
436000
2000
Što se dogodilo Wiliamu Jeffersonu Clintonu?
07:43
We might not ever know.
144
438000
2000
Možda nikada nećemo saznati.
07:45
And I noticed, he's not exactly around here today
145
440000
3000
A koliko sam primijetio, on danas i nije ovdje
07:48
to face any tough questions.
146
443000
2000
da odgovori na ova teška pitanja.
07:50
(Laughter)
147
445000
2000
(smijeh)
07:52
It could get awkward, right?
148
447000
2000
Moglo bi postati neugodno, zar ne?
07:54
I mean after all, this whole business happened on his watch.
149
449000
2000
Mislim, ipak, sve ovo dogodilo za njegova uredovanja.
07:56
But if he were here --
150
451000
2000
Ali da je on ovdje...
07:58
(Laughter)
151
453000
1000
(smijeh)
07:59
he might remind us, as he does in the wrap-up to his fine autobiography,
152
454000
4000
mogao bi nas podsjetiti, kao što to i čini u zaključku svoje lijepe autobiografije,
08:03
that on this day Bill Clinton began a journey --
153
458000
3000
da je toga dana, Bill Clinton krenuo na putovanje...
08:06
a journey that saw him go on to become
154
461000
2000
putovanje kojim je postao
08:08
the first Democrat president elected
155
463000
2000
prvi izabrani predsjednik demokrat
08:10
to two consecutive terms in decades.
156
465000
3000
u dva uzastopna mandata nakon puno vremena.
08:13
In generations.
157
468000
2000
Nakon generacija.
08:15
The first since this man, Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
158
470000
3000
Prvi poslije Franklina Delana Roosevelta,
08:18
who began his own unprecedented journey
159
473000
3000
koji je započeo svoj put bez presedana
08:21
way back at his own first election,
160
476000
3000
još davno, kada je prvi puta uzabran,
08:24
way back in a simpler time, way back in 1932 --
161
479000
7000
davno, u jednostavnija vremena, davne 1932.
08:32
(Laughter)
162
487000
1000
(smijeh)
08:33
the year Alberto Giacometti
163
488000
1000
godine kada je Alberto Giacometti
08:34
(Laughter)
164
489000
1000
(smijeh)
08:36
made "The Palace at Four in the Morning."
165
491000
2000
stvorio "Dvorac u 4 ujutro".
08:38
The year, let's remember, that this voice, now departed,
166
493000
4000
Godine, da vas podsjetim, kada je ovaj, sad pokojni glas,
08:42
first came a-cryin' into this big old crazy world of ours.
167
497000
5000
prvi put zaplakao na ovom našem velikom ludom svijetu.
08:47
(Music)

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.
