among cartography nerds,
kartografskim štreberima,
of the Catskill Mountains,
planina Catskill,
if I just put it up here --
ako ju prikažemo ovdje gore --
above Roscoe is Rockland, New York,
Roscoea je Rockland, New York,
is the tiny town of Agloe, New York.
maleni gradić Agloe, New York.
to cartographers,
među kartografima,
and your map of New York
i vaša karta New Yorka
on account of the shape of New York --
zbog samog oblika New Yorka --
fake places onto their maps,
lažna mjesta na svoje karte,
shows up on your map,
na tvojoj karti,
that you have robbed me.
si me pokrao.
of the two guys who made this map,
tipova koji su napravili ovu kartu,
Rand McNally predstavlja kartu
at the same exact intersection
na istom križanju
in the middle of nowhere.
usred ničega.

Rand McNally, and they say,
i rekli,
We made Agloe, New York, up.
Mi smo izmislili Agloe, New York.
"No, no, no, no, Agloe is real."
"Ne, ne, ne, Agloe je stvaran."
to that intersection of two dirt roads --
to križanje te dvije ceste --
there to be a place called Agloe --
imena Agloe --
called Agloe, New York.
nazvao ga Agloe, New York.
two houses at its peak.
dvije kuće najviše.
irresistible metaphor to a novelist,
neodoljiva metafora,
that the stuff that we write down on paper
ono što zapišemo na papir
in which we're actually living,
kojem živimo,
is called "Paper Towns".
zove "Gradovi na papiru".
than the medium in which this happened,
medija na kojem se ovo dogodilo,
shapes our maps of the world, right?
naše karte svijeta, jel tako?
is obviously going to affect our maps.
očito utječe na naše karte.
interesting is the way
je način

by our maps of the world.
sa našim mapiranjem istoga.
our personal cartographic enterprise,
naš osobni kartografski poduhvat,
changes the life we lead.

gdje ćeš u životu sljedeće ići,
that isn't on your personal map.

when I was a kid.
kad sam bio dijete.
such a terrible student
lošim ocjenama
was just a series of hurdles

in order to achieve adulthood.
da bih postigao odraslost.
to jump over these hurdles,
ove prepreke,
arbitrary, so I often wouldn't,
proizvoljne, i tako često ni ne bih,

over all of these hurdles
sve te prepreke
I went to this school,
išao sam u tu školu,

mali internat,
because I found myself
jer sam se našao
and engagement,
i angažman,
oh-so-cool disengagement
tako-cool nezainteresiranost
and unspectacular response
neosobit odgovor
and compelling problems.
nesavladive probleme.
because learning was cool.
jer je učenje bilo cool.

and why it sounds so good to human ears.
i zašto zvuči tako dobro ljudskim ušima.

zato što, evo predavača--
here's the instructor,
evo predavača,
are the students,
have a very bad reputation
vrlo lošu reputaciju

nalazeći ovakve zajednice

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
John Green - WriterThe author of "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Paper Towns," John Green is a passionate online video maker.
Why you should listen
John Green is the author of Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and The Fault in Our Stars. He is also the coauthor, with David Levithan, of Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
In 2007, Green and his brother Hank ceased textual communication and began to talk primarily through videoblogs posted to YouTube. The videos spawned a community of people called nerdfighters who fight for intellectualism and to decrease the overall worldwide level of suck. (Decreasing suck takes many forms: Nerdfighters have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight poverty in the developing world; they also planted thousands of trees around the world in May of 2010 to celebrate Hank’s 30th birthday.) Although they have long since resumed textual communication, John and Hank continue to upload two videos a week to their YouTube channel, vlogbrothers. Their videos have been viewed more than 500 million times, and their channel is one of the most popular in the history of online video.
