بیری داهێنەرانە. لە کاتی پێویستیدا
پێویستمان بە بیری داهێنەرانە هەیە.
00:17
Discuss. Great creativity is astonishingly, absurdly, rationally, irrationally powerful.
1
5000
8000
با بیری لێبکەینەوە، داهێنەری گەورە
سەرسوڕهێنەرە و هۆشمەندیەکی بەهێزە.
00:25
Great creativity can spread tolerance, champion freedom,

پەروەردە کردن بە شێوەیەکی
گەشاوە دەخاتە ڕوو.
00:32
(Laughter)
4
20000
1000
(پێکەنین)
00:33
Great creativity can turn a spotlight on deprivation,
5
21000
4000
داهێنەری گەورە دەتوانێت
تیشک بخات سەر نەبوونی،
00:37
or show that deprivation ain't necessarily so.
6
25000
4000
یان دەتوانێت بە لاوەکی ئاماژەیان پێ بکات.
00:41
Great creativity can make politicians electable,
7
29000
3000
داهێنەری گەورە دەتوانێت وابکات
سیاسیەکان تا هەڵبژێردرێن،
00:44
or parties unelectable.

32000
3000
یاخود پارتەکان بدۆڕێن.
00:47
It can make war seem like tragedy or farce.
9
35000
4000
دەتوانن جەنگەکان خەمئاسا بخەنەبەرچاو.
00:51
Creativity is the meme-maker that puts slogans on our t-shirts
10
39000
4000
داهێنەر ئەو کەسەیە کە گوتە
جوانەکان دەخاتە سەر تیشێرتەکان
00:55
and phrases on our lips.
11
43000
2000
و سەر زارمان
00:57
It's the pathfinder that shows us a simple road
12
45000
3000
پیادەیەکی شارەزایە کە ڕێگەی
ئاسانمان پێشان دەدات
01:00
through an impenetrable moral maze.
13
48000
2000
لە ناو کەڵدەران و ڕیگە ئەستەمەکان.
01:02
Science is clever, but great creativity is something less knowable,
14
50000
5000
زانست زیرەکە، بەڵام
داهێنەری گەورە کەمتر زانراوە،
01:07
more magical. And now we need that magic.
15
55000
3000
ئەفسوناویترە و ئێمە پێویستمان بە جادووە.
01:10
This is a time of need.
16
58000
2000
ئێستا کاتیەتی.
01:12
Our climate is changing quickly, too quickly.
17
60000
2000
گۆڕانی کەش و هەوا زۆر زۆر خێرایە.
پێویستمان بە داهێنەری گەورەیە تا
ئەو کارە بکات کە تییادا کارامەیە
01:14
And great creativity is needed to do what it does so well:
18
62000
3000
01:17
to provoke us to think differently with dramatic creative statements.
19
65000
4000
تا هانمان بدات بە ووتارێکی
داهێنەری خەمناک تا جیاواز بیر بکەینەوە.
01:21
To tempt us to act differently
20
69000
2000
تا تینمان پێ ببەخشێت
کاردانەوەیەکی جیاوازمان هەبێت
01:23
with delightful creative scraps.
21
71000
3000
بە بەرکەوتنێکی داهێنەری دڵشاد.
01:26
Here is one such scrap from an initiative I'm involved in
22
74000
3000
ئەمە یەکێکە لە دەستپێشخەریەکانی خۆم
01:29
using creativity to inspire people to be greener.
23
77000
3000
بە کۆمەکی داهێنان سروش
ببەخشینە خەڵک تا ژینگە دۆست بن.
01:32
(Video) Man: You know, rather than drive today, I'm going to walk.
24
80000
4000
ڤیدیۆ: ئەمڕۆ لە جیاتی
لێخوڕینی ئۆتۆمبیل بە پیی دەڕۆم،
01:36
Narrator: And so he walked, and as he walked he saw things.
25
84000
4000
چیرۆک خوێنەر: دەستی بە ڕۆیشتن بە پێی کرد،
لە کاتی ڕۆیشتندا شتگەلێکی بینی.
01:40
Strange and wonderful things he would not otherwise have seen.
26
88000
4000
شتگەلێکی سەیر و جوانی بینی
کە لەوانەیە بە شێوازیتر بینینیان قورس با.
01:44
A deer with an itchy leg. A flying motorcycle.
27
92000
3000
مامزێکی قاچ پێککراو، مۆتۆرسایکلێکی فڕیوو.
01:47
A father and daughter separated from a bicycle by a mysterious wall.
28
95000
5000
باوک و کچێک بەهۆی دیوارێکی
نهێنیەوە لە پایسکیلەکانیان دابڕاون.
01:52
And then he stopped. Walking in front of him was her.
29
100000
5000
دواتر وەستا. کچێک بەبەردەمیا تێپەڕی.
01:57
The woman who as a child had skipped with him through fields
30
105000
2000
کچێک کە لە تەمەنی مناڵی
یاری خلێسکینەی لەگەڵ کردووە.
و دواتر دڵی کچەکەی شکاند.
02:00
and broken his heart.
31
108000
1000
02:01
Sure, she had aged a little.
32
109000
2000
کچەکە نەختێ پیر بووە
کچەکە بە دڵنیایەوە زۆرپیر بووە.
02:03
In fact, she had aged a lot.
33
111000
1000
02:04
But he felt all his old passion for her return.
34
112000
3000
بەڵام هەستی کرد هەستی
جارانی بۆ کچەکە بۆ گەڕاوەتەوە.
02:07
"Ford," he called softly. For that was her name.
35
115000
3000
بانگی کچەکەی کرد: فۆرد،
فۆڕد ناوی کچەکە بوو.
گەستی هیچ شتێک مەڵی، کچەکە گوتی.
02:11
"Don't say another word, Gusty," she said,
36
119000
2000
گەستی ناوی کورەکە بوو.
02:13
for that was his name.
37
121000
1000
02:14
"I know a tent next to a caravan, exactly 300 yards from here.
38
122000
5000
خێمەیەک لە تەنیشت کارەڤانەکە
کە ٣٠٠ یارد لێمان دوورە هەیە.
02:19
Let's go there and make love. In the tent."
39
127000
3000
با بچین لە ناو خێمەکە بەیەکەوە بخەوین.
02:22
Ford undressed. She spread one leg, and then the other.
40
130000
4000
فۆرد تێگەیشت. قاچەکانی لێک کردەوە.
02:26
Gusty entered her boldly and made love to her rhythmically
41
134000
4000
گەستیش خۆی خستە سەر جەستەی
کچەکە و ئیشی خۆییان کرد.
02:30
while she filmed him, because she was a keen amateur pornographer.
42
138000
3000
کچەکە وێنەگر بوو و کاتێک
ڤیدیۆی گەستی تۆمار کرد.
02:33
The earth moved for both of them.
43
141000
2000
زەوی لە لەژ قاچییاندا دەستی بە جووڵە کرد.
02:35
And they lived together happily ever after.
44
143000
3000
بۆ هەمیشە بە دڵشادی ژیان.
02:38
And all because he decided to walk that day.
45
146000
5000
هۆکاری ئەم ڕووداوانە تەنها بەهۆی
بڕیاری ڕۆیشتنی بە پێیان بوو.
(چەپڵە)
02:44
(Applause)
46
152000
10000
02:54
Andy Hobsbawm: We've got the science, we've had the debate.
47
162000
3000
ئێمە
زانست و دەمەتەقێمان هەیە.
02:57
The moral imperative is on the table.
48
165000
2000
گفتوگۆ لە سەر لایەنە ئەخلاقیەکانی دەکرێت.
02:59
Great creativity is needed to take it all,
49
167000
2000
داهێنەری گەورە بۆ لە ئەستۆ گرتنی پێویستە،
03:01
make it simple and sharp.
50
169000
2000
تا ئاسان و تیژی بکات.
03:03
To make it connect. To make it make people want to act.
51
171000
4000
تاوەکو پەیوەندی بۆ دروست بکات.
تا وا لە خەڵک بکات بجووڵێن
03:07
So this is a call, a plea,
52
175000
2000
ئەمە داوایە، تکایە،
03:09
to the incredibly talented TED community.
53
177000
2000
لە خێزانی TED.
03:11
Let's get creative against climate change.
54
179000
2000
با لە دژی گۆڕانی کەش و هەوا داهێنەر بین.
03:13
And let's do it soon. Thank you.
55
181000
2000
با زوو دەست بەکاربین. سوپاس
03:15
