Hi everyone. I'm Sirena.
2
514000
2000
Pozdrav svima. Ja sam Sirena.
09:00
I'm 11 years old and from Connecticut.
3
516000
3000
Imam 11 godina i dolazim iz Connecticuta.
09:06
(Applause)
4
522000
4000
(Pljesak)
09:10
Well, I'm not really sure why I'm here.
5
526000
5000
Dobro, nisam posve sigurna zašto sam ovdje.
09:15
(Laughter)
6
531000
2000
(Smijeh)
09:17
I mean, what does this have to do with
7
533000
2000
Mislim, kakve veze ovo ima s
09:19
technology, entertainment and design?
8
535000
4000
tehnologijom, zabavom i dizajnom?
09:23
Well, I count my iPod, cellphone and computer as technology
9
539000
4000
Dobro, mislim da su moj iPod, mobitel i računalo tehnologija
09:27
but this has nothing to do with that.
10
543000
4000
ali ovo nema nikakve veze s time.
09:31
So I did a little research on it.
11
547000
3000
Tako sam napravila malo istraživanje.
09:34
Well, this is what I found.
12
550000
1000
Evo što sam pronašla.
09:35
Of course, I hope I can memorize it.
13
551000
4000
Naravno, nadam se da to mogu zapamtiti.
09:39
The violin is basically made of a wood box
14
555000
2000
Violina je u osnovi napravljena od drvene kutije
09:41
and four main strings.
15
557000
1000
i četiri glavne žice.
09:42
By playing the string, the string vibrates
16
558000
1000
Svirajući preko žice, žica vibrira
09:43
and produces a sound wave.
17
559000
1000
i proizvodi zvučni val.
09:44
Sound passes through a piece of wood called a bridge
18
560000
2000
Zvuk prelazi preko komada drveta kojeg nazivamo mostom
09:46
and goes down to the wood box and gets amplified
19
562000
2000
i ide dolje prema drvenoj kutiji gdje se pojačava
09:48
but ... let me think.
20
564000
4000
ali... da razmislim.
09:52
(Laughter)
21
568000
1000
(Smijeh)
09:53
Okay. On the other hand
22
569000
2000
Ok. S druge strane
09:55
by placing your finger in a different position on the fingerboard
23
571000
3000
stavljajući prste u različite položaje na vratu violine
09:58
it changes the string length,
24
574000
1000
mijenjamo dužinu žice
09:59
that changes the frequency of the sound wave.
25
575000
3000
što mijenja frekvenciju zvučnog vala.
10:02
Oh, my gosh!
26
578000
2000
O, moj bože!
10:04
(Laughter)
27
580000
1000
(Smijeh)
10:05
Okay. This is sort of a technology
28
581000
4000
OK. To je vrsta tehnologije
10:09
but I can call it a 16th-century technology.
29
585000
5000
ali je mogu nazvati tehnologijom 16. stoljeća.
10:14
But actually, the most fascinating thing that I found
30
590000
3000
Ali zapravo, najfascinantnija stvar koju sam pronašla
10:17
was that even the audio system
31
593000
3000
je audio sustav
10:20
or wave transmission nowadays
32
596000
1000
ili današnja transmisija valova
10:21
are still basically based on the same principle
33
597000
3000
u srži je bazirana na jednakim principima
10:24
of producing and projecting sound.
34
600000
2000
proizvodnje i projekcije zvuka.
10:26
Isn't that cool?
35
602000
2000
Zar to nije fora?
10:28
(Laughter)
36
604000
3000
(Smijeh)
10:31
(Applause)
37
607000
7000
(Pljesak)
10:38
Design -- I love its design.
38
614000
3000
Dizajn -- ja volim dizajn.
10:41
I remember when I was little
39
617000
1000
Sjećam se dok sam bila mala
10:42
my mom asked me,
40
618000
1000
mama me pitala,
10:43
would you like to play the violin or the piano?
41
619000
3000
želiš li svirati violinu ili klavir?
10:46
I looked at that giant monster
42
622000
3000
Pogledala sam tog velikog monstruma
10:49
and said to myself --
43
625000
1000
i rekla sebi --
10:51
I am not going to lock myself on that bench
44
627000
3000
neću se zaključati na tu klupu
10:54
the whole day.
45
630000
2000
cijeli dan.
10:56
This is small and lightweight.
46
632000
3000
Ovo je malo i lagano.
10:59
I can play from standing, sitting or walking.
47
635000
2000
Mogu svirati dok stojim, sjedim ili hodam.
11:01
And you know what?
48
637000
1000
I znaš što?
11:02
The best of all is that if I don't want to practice,
49
638000
5000
Najbolje od svega je, ako ne želim vježbati
11:07
I can hide it.
50
643000
2000
mogu je sakriti.
11:09
(Laughter)
51
645000
4000
(Smijeh)
11:13
The violin is very beautiful.
52
649000
2000
Violina je stvarno prekrasna.
11:15
Some people relate it as the shape of a lady
53
651000
3000
Neki ljudi je povezuju s oblikom žene
11:18
but, whether you like it or not,
54
654000
2000
ali volite li je ili ne
11:20
it's been so for more than 400 years,
55
656000
3000
takva je već 400 godina,
11:23
unlike modern stuff that easily looks dated.
56
659000
4000
i za razliku od modernih stvari koje brzo zastarjevaju.
11:27
But I think it's very personal and unique that,
57
663000
2000
Ali mislim da je jako osobno i unikatno to,
11:29
although each violin looks pretty similar,
58
665000
3000
što iako svaka violina izgleda slično
11:32
that no two violins sound the same.
59
668000
3000
ne postoje dvije violine koje zvuče isto.
11:35
Even from the same maker
60
671000
1000
Čak i od istog proizvođača
11:36
or based on the same model.
61
672000
3000
ili bazirane na istom modelu.
11:39
Entertainment -- I love the entertainment,
62
675000
3000
Zabava -- ja volim zabavu
11:43
but actually, the instrument itself
63
679000
3000
ali u stvari, instrument sam po sebi
11:46
isn't very entertaining.
64
682000
2000
nije jako zabavan.
11:48
I mean, when I first got my violin
65
684000
3000
Mislim, kada sam dobila violinu
11:51
and tried to play around, it was
66
687000
1000
i pokušala je svirati bila je
11:52
actually, really bad because
67
688000
5000
u stvari, jako loša jer
11:57
it didn't sound like the way I'd heard from other kids --
68
693000
2000
nije zvučala na način na koji sam je čula kod druge djece
11:59
so horrible and so scratchy --
69
695000
3000
toliko strašna i toliko kreštava
12:02
so it wasn't entertaining at all.
70
698000
3000
tako da uopće nije bila zabavna.
12:05
But besides, my brother found this very funny.
71
701000
5000
Također, moj brat je to smatrao jako smiješnim.
12:10
Yuk, yuk, yuk.
72
706000
3000
Jak, jak, jak.
12:13
(Laughter)
73
709000
6000
(Smijeh)
12:19
A few years later I heard a joke about
74
715000
2000
Nekoliko godina kasnije čula sam vic o
12:21
the greatest violinist, Jascha Heifetz.
75
717000
2000
najvećem violinistu, Jaschi Heifetzu.
12:23
After Mr. Heifetz's concert
76
719000
2000
Poslije koncrta gosp. Heifetza
12:25
a lady came over and complimented,
77
721000
2000
gospođa je došla do njega i dala mu kompliment:
12:27
"Oh, Mr. Heifetz, your violin sounded so great tonight."
78
723000
4000
"Oh, gosp. Heifetz, vaša violina je zvučala sjajno večeras."
12:31
And Mr. Heifetz was a very cool person,
79
727000
2000
A gosp. Heifetz je bio jako spokojna osoba
12:33
so he picked up his violin and said,
80
729000
2000
i tako je uzeo svoju violinu i rekao,
12:35
"Funny, I don't hear anything."
81
731000
2000
"Smiješno, ne čujem ništa."
12:37
(Laughter)
82
733000
3000
(Smijeh)
12:40
And now, I realize that as the musician,
83
736000
2000
I sada, shvaćam da kao glazbenik,
12:42
we human beings, we have a great mind,
84
738000
4000
mi ljudska bića, mi imamo sjajan um,
12:46
artistic heart and skill
85
742000
2000
umjetničko srce i vještinu
12:48
that can change the 16th-century technology
86
744000
3000
koja može promijeniti tehnologiju iz 16-og stoljeća
12:51
and a legendary design
87
747000
2000
i legendarni dizajn
12:53
to a wonderful entertainment.
88
749000
2000
u prekrasnu zabavu.
12:55
Now, I know why I'm here.
89
751000
3000
Sada, znam zašto sam ovdje.
12:58
(Music)
90

218000
(Glazba)
16:36
(Applause)
91
972000
7000
(Pljesak)
16:43
At first I thought I was just going to be here to perform,
92
979000
4000
Na prvu sam mislila kako ću doći ovdje i samo svirati
16:47
but unexpectedly, I learned and enjoyed much more.
93
983000
4000
ali nenadano, naučila sam i uživala bitno više.
16:52
But ... although some of them were quite up there for me.
94
988000
6000
Ali... premda su neki bili stvarno uz mene.
16:58
(Laughter)
95
994000
4000
(Smijeh)
17:02
Like the multi-dimension stuff.
96
998000
4000
Poput multi-dimenzionalnog osoblja.
17:06
I mean, honestly, I'd be happy enough
97
1002000
2000
Mislim, iskreno, bila bih dovoljno sretna
17:08
if I can actually get my two dimension correct in school.
98
1004000
3000
kada bih dobila moje ispravne dvije dimenzije u školi.
17:11
(Laughter)
99
1007000
4000
(Smijeh)
17:15
But actually, the most impressive thing to me
100
1011000
3000
U stvari, najimpresivnija stvar za mene
17:18
is that ... well, actually,
101
1014000
1000
je... dobro, u stvari,
17:19
I would also like to stand this for all children
102
1015000
4000
htjela bih ovo izjaviti u ime sve djece
17:23
is to say, thank you, to all adults
103
1019000
2000
i reći, hvala vam, svim odraslima
17:25
for actually caring for us a lot
104
1021000
4000
jer stvarno puno brinete o nama
17:29
and to make our future world much better.
105
1025000
3000
i osiguravate da nam je budućnost bolja.
17:32
Thank you.
106
1028000
2000
Hvala vam.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sirena Huang - ViolinistSirena Huang started taking violin lessons at age 4 and made her professional solo debut at 9 with the Taiwan Symphony Orchestra. She has won top prizes in numerous international competitions, delighting audiences worldwide with her virtuosity and charm.
Why you should listen
Only 11 years old when she performed at TED, Sirena Huang is still technically a child. But as anyone who sees her perform can attest, she has a musician's soul that transcends her years. "Her musical imagination is boundless," said Juilliard dean Stephen Clapp, who described her as "a musical artist with qualities of maturity far beyond her age."
What's most striking in her performance style is the way she combines technical ability with emotional force and nuance. Her fiercely virtuoso performances are profoundly moving, even via podcast. "Amazed," "delighted" and "spellbound" are the words bloggers often use after watching her play. She has won numerous awards for her brilliant performances worldwide, and has played for the likes of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, King Abdullah II of Jordan, and the Dalai Lama.
