Za strance, naučiti govoriti Kineski je težak zadatak. Ali naučiti čitati prekrasne, često složene znakove Kineskog pisanog jezika mogu biti manje teški. ShaoLan prolazi kroz jednostavnu lekciju u prepoznavanju ideja iza znakova i njihovog značenja -- gradeći iz nekoliko jednostavnih formi do složenijih stvari. Zovite ga laki Kineski.

Odrastajući na Tajvanu
00:14
as the daughter of a calligrapher,
1
2810
1612
kao kćerka kaligrafa,
00:16
one of my most treasured memories
2
4422
2368
jedno od mojih najdražih sjećanja
00:18
was my mother showing me the beauty, the shape
3
6790
3093
je moja majka koja mi pokazuje ljepotu, oblike
00:21
and the form of Chinese characters.
4
9883
2633
i formu kineskih znakova.
00:24
Ever since then, I was fascinated
5
12516
2507
Od tog trena bila sam fascinirana
00:27
by this incredible language.
6
15023
2662
ovim nevjerovatnim jezikom.
00:29
But to an outsider, it seems to be
7
17685
2735
Ali za nekog sa strane, on se čini
00:32
as impenetrable as the Great Wall of China.
8
20420
3509
neprobojnim poput Kineskog zida.
00:35
Over the past few years, I've been wondering
9
23929
2375
Posljednih nekoliko
godina pitala sam se
godina pitala sam se
00:38
if I can break down this wall,
10
26304
2052
mogu li ja srušiti taj zid,
00:40
so anyone who wants to understand and appreciate
11
28356
2594
kako bi svatko tko
želi razumjeti i cijeniti
želi razumjeti i cijeniti
00:42
the beauty of this sophisticated language could do so.
12
30950
3908
ljepotu ovog sofisticiranog jezika,
to i mogao.
to i mogao.
00:46
I started thinking about how a new, fast method
13
34858
4312
Počela sam misliti kako
bi neka nova, brža metoda
bi neka nova, brža metoda
00:51
of learning Chinese might be useful.
14
39170
2848
učenja kineskog jezika
mogla biti korisna.
mogla biti korisna.
00:54
Since the age of five, I started to learn how to draw
15
42018
3986
Od pete godine učim crtati
00:58
every single stroke for each character
16
46004
3005
svaki potez za svaki znak
01:01
in the correct sequence.
17
49009
2544
po točnom redoslijedu.
01:03
I learned new characters every day
18
51553
2057
Učila sam nove znakove svakoga dana
01:05
during the course of the next 15 years.
19
53610
2727
u sljedećih petnaest godina.
01:08
Since we only have five minutes,
20
56337
2120
Budući da imamo samo pet minuta,
01:10
it's better that we have a fast and simpler way.
21
58457
3635
bolje je učiniti to na brži i jednostavniji način.
01:14
A Chinese scholar would understand 20,000 characters.
22
62092
3525
Kineski učenjak razumije 20,000 znakova.
01:17
You only need 1,000 to understand the basic literacy.
23
65617
5112
Za osnovnu pismenost Vi biste trebali razumjeti samo 1,000.
01:22
The top 200 will allow you to comprehend
24
70729
4016
Najčešćih 200 će Vam omogućiti razumijevanje
01:26
40 percent of basic literature --
25
74745
2896
40% osnovne literature --
01:29
enough to read road signs, restaurant menus,
26
77641
2876
dovoljno da možete pročitati znakove na cesti, menije u restoranima,
01:32
to understand the basic idea of the web pages
27
80517
3004
da razumijete osnovnu ideju internet stranica
01:35
or the newspapers.
28
83521
1939
ili novina.
01:37
Today I'm going to start with eight
29
85460
2199
Danas ću početi sa osam,
01:39
to show you how the method works.
30
87659
1892
kako bih Vam pokazala kako ova metoda funkcionira.
01:41
You are ready?
31
89551
1921
Jeste li spremni?
01:43
Open your mouth as wide as possible
32
91472
2683
Otvorite usta što je moguće više
01:46
until it's square.
33
94155
2046
dok nisu u obliku kvadrata.
01:48
You get a mouth.
34
96201
2682
I dobit ćete usta.
01:50
This is a person going for a walk.
35
98883
3088
Ovo je osoba koja ide u šetnju.
01:53
Person.
36
101971
3131
Osoba.
01:57
If the shape of the fire is a person
37
105102
2709
Ako je oblik vatre osoba
01:59
with two arms on both sides,
38
107811
2270
s dvije ruke na obje strane,
02:02
as if she was yelling frantically,
39
110081
2170
kao da izbezumljeno viče:
02:04
"Help! I'm on fire!" --
40
112251
3553
"Pomozite! Gorim!"--
02:07
This symbol actually is originally from the shape of the flame,
41
115804
4167
Ovaj simbol zapravo potječe od oblika plamena,
02:11
but I like to think that way. Whichever works for you.
42
119971
3813
ali ja volim misliti na ovaj način.
Kako god funkcionira za Vas.
Kako god funkcionira za Vas.
02:15
This is a tree.
43
123784
2259
Ovo je drvo.
02:18
Tree.
44
126043
2098
Drvo.
02:20
This is a mountain.
45
128141
4425
Ovo je planina.
02:24
The sun.
46
132566
2601
Ovo je Sunce.
02:29
The moon.
47
137458
4654
Ovo je Mjesec.
02:34
The symbol of the door
48
142112
1975
Simbol za vrata
02:36
looks like a pair of saloon doors in the wild west.
49
144087
5706
izgleda poput salonskih vrata na divljem Zapadu.
02:41
I call these eight characters radicals.
50
149793
3738
Ovih osam znakova nazivam radikalima.
02:45
They are the building blocks
51
153531
1766
Oni su građevinski materijal
02:47
for you to create lots more characters.
52
155297
4130
za izgradnju puno više znakova.
02:51
A person.
53
159427
1738
Ovo je osoba.
02:53
If someone walks behind, that is "to follow."
54
161165
4268
Ako netko hoda iza nje, to znači " slijediti".
02:57
As the old saying goes,
55
165433
2128
Kako kaže stara poslovica,
02:59
two is company, three is a crowd.
56
167561
3726
dvoje je društvo, troje je gužva.
03:03
If a person stretched their arms wide,
57
171287
2915
Kad bi osoba široko raširila ruke,
03:06
this person is saying, "It was this big."
58
174202
4647
osoba bi rekla: "To je bilo ovoliko".
03:10
The person inside the mouth, the person is trapped.
59
178849
3848
Osoba u ustima je zarobljena osoba.
03:14
He's a prisoner, just like Jonah inside the whale.
60
182697
5846
On je zatvorenik, poput Jone u utrobi kita.
03:20
One tree is a tree. Two trees together, we have the woods.
61
188543
3494
Jedno stablo je stablo. Dva stabla su šumarak.
03:24
Three trees together, we create the forest.
62
192037
3556
Sa tri stabla možemo stvoriti šumu.
03:27
Put a plank underneath the tree, we have the foundation.
63
195593
4072
Stavite dasku ispod stabla, i dobit ćete temelj.
03:31
Put a mouth on the top of the tree, that's "idiot." (Laughter)
64
199665
4135
Stavite usta na vrh stabla, i napravili ste "idiota" (smijeh).
03:35
Easy to remember,
65
203800
2081
Lagano je za zapamtiti,
03:37
since a talking tree is pretty idiotic.
66
205881
4942
budući da je drvo koje priča prilično idiotska ideja.
03:42
Remember fire?
67
210823
2042
Sjećate se vatre?
03:44
Two fires together, I get really hot.
68
212865
2661
Dvije vatre zajedno i postat će jako vruće.
03:47
Three fires together, that's a lot of flames.
69
215526
2859
Tri vatre zajedno predstavlja puno plamena.
03:50
Set the fire underneath the two trees, it's burning.
70
218385
4601
Zapalite vatru ispod dva stabla i gorjet će.
03:54
For us, the sun is the source of prosperity.
71
222986
3092
Za nas je sunce izvor blagostanja.
03:58
Two suns together, prosperous.
72
226078
2179
Dva sunca zajedno znače blagostanje.
04:00
Three together, that's sparkles.
73
228257
2358
Tri sunca zajedno znače blistanje.
04:02
Put the sun and the moon shining together,
74
230615
2021
Stavite sunce i mjesec neka sjaje zajedno,
04:04
it's brightness.
75
232636
1308
to znači svjetlost.
04:05
It also means tomorrow, after a day and a night.
76
233944
4225
To ujedno znači i sutra, nakon dana i nakon noći.
04:10
The sun is coming up above the horizon. Sunrise.
77
238169
4483
Sunce se diže iznad horizonta. To predstavlja svitanje.
04:14
A door. Put a plank inside the door,
78
242652
3103
Ovo su vrata. Stavite dasku unutar vrata,
04:17
it's a door bolt.
79
245755
2057
to predstavlja bravu.
04:19
Put a mouth inside the door, asking questions.
80
247812
2964
Stavite usta koja postavljaju pitanja unutar vrata.
04:22
Knock knock. Is anyone home?
81
250776
3331
Kuc kuc. Ima li koga?
04:26
This person is sneaking out of a door,
82
254107
2888
Ova osoba se iskrada van,
04:28
escaping, evading.
83
256995
2832
bježi, izbjegava nešto.
04:31
On the left, we have a woman.
84
259827
2153
Na lijevo imamo jednu ženu.
04:33
Two women together, they have an argument.
85
261980
2162
Dvije žene zajedno znači da se one svađaju.
04:36
(Laughter)
86
264142
2133
(Smijeh)
04:38
Three women together, be careful, it's adultery.
87
266275
6518
Tri žene zajedno, budi oprezan, to znači preljub.
04:44
So we have gone through almost 30 characters.
88
272793
3509
Evo, prošli smo skoro 30 znakova.
04:48
By using this method, the first eight radicals
89
276302
3337
Koristeći ovu metodu, prvih osam radikala
04:51
will allow you to build 32.
90
279639
2001
će vam omogućiti stvaranje još 32 znaka.
04:53
The next group of eight characters
91
281640
1763
Sljedeća grupa od 8 znakova
04:55
will build an extra 32.
92
283403
2192
će vam pomoći napraviti još 32.
04:57
So with very little effort,
93
285595
2302
Znači, s jako malo truda,
04:59
you will be able to learn a couple hundred characters,
94
287897
2266
moći ćete naučiti nekoliko stotina znakova,
05:02
which is the same as a Chinese eight-year-old.
95
290163
2552
koliko ih i zna osmogodišnji Kinez.
05:04
So after we know the characters, we start building phrases.
96
292715
3547
Znači, kad naučimo znakove, počinjemo oblikovati rečenice.
05:08
For example, the mountain and the fire together,
97
296262
2697
Npr., planina i vatra zajedno
05:10
we have fire mountain. It's a volcano.
98
298959
2928
će stvoriti vatrenu planinu. To je vulkan.
05:13
We know Japan is the land of the rising sun.
99
301887
3320
Znamo da je Japan zemlja izlazećeg sunca.
05:17
This is a sun placed with the origin,
100
305207
3418
Ovo je sunce pored svojeg porijekla,
05:20
because Japan lies to the east of China.
101
308625
3127
zato što je Japan istočno od Kine.
05:23
So a sun, origin together, we build Japan.
102
311752
3890
Znači, sa suncem i porijeklom ćemo napisati Japan.
05:27
A person behind Japan, what do we get?
103
315642
2958
Nacrtamo osobu iza Japana, i što ćemo dobiti?
05:30
A Japanese person.
104
318600
3102
Japanca/Japanku.
05:33
The character on the left is two mountains
105
321702
2801
Znak na lijevoj strani se sastoji od dvije planine,
05:36
stacked on top of each other.
106
324503
2107
jedne povrh druge.
05:38
In ancient China, that means in exile,
107
326610
3217
U drevnoj Kini to znači "u progonstvu"
05:41
because Chinese emperors, they put their political enemies
108
329827
2438
zato što su kineski vladari svoje političke protivnike
05:44
in exile beyond mountains.
109
332265
2371
progonili iza planina.
05:46
Nowadays, exile has turned into getting out.
110
334636
5011
U današnje vrijeme, progonstvo se pretvorilo u "izlaz".
05:51
A mouth which tells you where to get out
111
339647
2571
Usta koja Vam govore gdje da izađete
05:54
is an exit.
112
342218
1928
označavaju izlaz.
05:56
This is a slide to remind me that I should stop talking
113
344146
3641
Ovo je stranica koja me treba podsjetiti da trebam prestati pričati
05:59
and get off of the stage. Thank you.
114
347787
1883
i odem sa pozornice. Hvala Vam.
06:01
