Hi everyone. I'm Sirena.
2
514000
2000
Zdravo svima. Ja sam Serina.
09:00
I'm 11 years old and from Connecticut.
3
516000
3000
Imam 11 godina i iz Konektikata sam.
09:06
(Applause)
4
522000

(Aplauz)
09:10
Well, I'm not really sure why I'm here.
5
526000
5000
Zapravo, nisam sigurna zašto sam ovde.
09:15
(Laughter)
6
531000
2000
(Smeh)
09:17
I mean, what does this have to do with
7
533000
2000
Mislim, kakve ovo veze ima
09:19
technology, entertainment and design?
8
535000
4000
sa tehnologijom, zabavom i dizajnom?
09:23
Well, I count my iPod, cellphone and computer as technology
9
539000
4000
Računam svoj ajpod, telefon i kompjuter
kao tehnologiju
kao tehnologiju
09:27
but this has nothing to do with that.
10
543000
4000
ali ovo nema veze sa time.
09:31
So I did a little research on it.
11
547000
3000
Tako da sam uradila malo istraživanje.
09:34
Well, this is what I found.
12
550000
1000
Ovo sam otkrila.
09:35
Of course, I hope I can memorize it.
13
551000
4000
Naravno, nadam se da mogu da zapamtim to.
09:39
The violin is basically made of a wood box
14
555000
2000
Violina je u principu napravljena
od drvene kutije
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 po žicama, one vibriraju
09:43
and produces a sound wave.
17
559000
1000
i stvaraju zvučne talase.
09:44
Sound passes through a piece of wood called a bridge
18
560000
2000
Zvuk prolazi kroz komad drveta
koji se zove kobilica
koji se zove kobilica
09:46
and goes down to the wood box and gets amplified
19
562000
2000
i silazi do drvene kutije i pojačava se
09:48
but ... let me think.
20
564000
4000
ali... da razmislim.
09:52
(Laughter)
21
568000
1000
(Smeh)
09:53
Okay. On the other hand
22
569000
2000
U redu. Sa druge strane
09:55
by placing your finger in a different position on the fingerboard
23
571000
3000
kada stavite prst na drugo mesto na hvatniku
09:58
it changes the string length,
24
574000
1000
to menja dužinu žice
09:59
that changes the frequency of the sound wave.
25
575000
3000
i frekvenciju zvučnih talasa.
10:02
Oh, my gosh!
26
578000
2000
O, moj bože!
10:04
(Laughter)
27
580000
1000
(Smeh)
10:05
Okay. This is sort of a technology
28
581000
4000
U redu. Ovo je neka vrsta tehnologije
10:09
but I can call it a 16th-century technology.
29
585000
5000
ali mogla bih je nazvati
tehnologijom 16. veka.
tehnologijom 16. veka.
10:14
But actually, the most fascinating thing that I found
30
590000
3000
Zapravo, najfascinantnija stvar koju sam otkrila
10:17
was that even the audio system
31
593000
3000
je da je čak i sistem zvuka
10:20
or wave transmission nowadays
32
596000
1000
ili prenosa talasa danas
10:21
are still basically based on the same principle
33
597000
3000
u principu zasnovan na istom principu
10:24
of producing and projecting sound.
34
600000
2000
stvaranja i projektovanja zvuka.
10:26
Isn't that cool?
35
602000
2000
Zar to nije super?
10:28
(Laughter)
36
604000
3000
(Smeh)
10:31
(Applause)
37
607000
7000
(Aplauz)
10:38
Design -- I love its design.
38
614000
3000
Dizajn - obožavam njen dizajn.
10:41
I remember when I was little
39
617000
1000
Sećam se kada sam bila mala
10:42
my mom asked me,
40
618000
1000
i kada me je mama pitala
10:43
would you like to play the violin or the piano?
41
619000
3000
da li želim da sviram violinu ili klavir?
10:46
I looked at that giant monster
42
622000
3000
Pogledala sam to ogromno čudovište
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 da se vežem za tu klupu
10:54
the whole day.
45
630000
2000
celog dana.
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 da sviram dok stojim,
sedim ili hodam.
sedim ili hodam.
11:01
And you know what?
48
637000
1000
I znate šta?
11:02
The best of all is that if I don't want to practice,
49
638000
5000
Najbolja stvar je to što
ako ne želim da vežbam,
ako ne želim da vežbam,
11:07
I can hide it.
50
643000
2000
mogu da je sakrijem.
11:09
(Laughter)
51
645000
4000
(Smeh)
11:13
The violin is very beautiful.
52
649000
2000
Violina je prelepa.
11:15
Some people relate it as the shape of a lady
53
651000
3000
Neki ljudi povezuju njen obilk
sa oblikom dame
sa oblikom dame
11:18
but, whether you like it or not,
54
654000
2000
ali, bez obzira da li vam se sviđa ili ne,
11:20
it's been so for more than 400 years,
55
656000
3000
takva je već više od 400 godina,
11:23
unlike modern stuff that easily looks dated.
56
659000
4000
za razliku od modernih stvari
koje lako zastarevaju.
koje lako zastarevaju.
11:27
But I think it's very personal and unique that,
57
663000
2000
Mislim da je veoma lično i unikatno to što,
11:29
although each violin looks pretty similar,
58
665000
3000
iako svaka violina izgleda prilično isto,
11:32
that no two violins sound the same.
59
668000
3000
nema dve violine koje zvuče isto.
11:35
Even from the same maker
60
671000
1000
Čak i kada su od istog majstora
11:36
or based on the same model.
61
672000
3000
ili zasnovane na istom modelu.
11:39
Entertainment -- I love the entertainment,
62
675000
3000
Zabava - volim zabavu,
11:43
but actually, the instrument itself
63
679000
3000
ali zapravo sam instrument
11:46
isn't very entertaining.
64
682000
2000
nije veoma zabavan.
11:48
I mean, when I first got my violin
65
684000
3000
Kada sam prvi put dobila svoju violinu
11:51
and tried to play around, it was
66
687000
1000
i pokušala da se igram, to je bilo
11:52
actually, really bad because
67
688000
5000
zapravo veoma loše
11:57
it didn't sound like the way I'd heard from other kids --
68
693000
2000
jer nije zvučalo kao ono
što sam čula kod druge dece -
što sam čula kod druge dece -
11:59
so horrible and so scratchy --
69
695000
3000
užasno i škripavo -
12:02
so it wasn't entertaining at all.
70
698000
3000
tako da nimalo nije bilo zabavno.
12:05
But besides, my brother found this very funny.
71
701000
5000
Bez obzira, mom bratu
je ovo bilo veoma smešno.
je ovo bilo veoma smešno.
12:10
Yuk, yuk, yuk.
72
706000
3000
Op, op, op.
12:13
(Laughter)
73
709000
6000
(Smeh)
12:19
A few years later I heard a joke about
74
715000
2000
Nekoliko godina kasnije čula sam vic
12:21
the greatest violinist, Jascha Heifetz.
75
717000
2000
o najvećem violinisti, Jaši Hajfecu.
12:23
After Mr. Heifetz's concert
76
719000
2000
Nakon njegovog koncerta
12:25
a lady came over and complimented,
77
721000
2000
došla je dama i pohvalila ga:
12:27
"Oh, Mr. Heifetz, your violin sounded so great tonight."
78
723000
4000
"Oh, gospodine Hajfec, vaša violina
je večeras zvučala tako divno."
je večeras zvučala tako divno."
12:31
And Mr. Heifetz was a very cool person,
79
727000
2000
I gospodin Hajfec je bio veoma kul,
12:33
so he picked up his violin and said,
80
729000
2000
pa je uzeo svoju violinu i rekao:
12:35
"Funny, I don't hear anything."
81
731000
2000
"Baš smešno, ja ne čujem ništa."
12:37
(Laughter)
82
733000
3000
(Smeh)
12:40
And now, I realize that as the musician,
83
736000
2000
I sada, kao muzičar shvatam to,
12:42
we human beings, we have a great mind,
84
738000
4000
mi kao ljudska bića imamo sjajan um,
12:46
artistic heart and skill
85
742000
2000
umetničko srce i veštinu
12:48
that can change the 16th-century technology
86
744000
3000
koji mogu da izmene tehnologiju 16. veka
12:51
and a legendary design
87
747000
2000
i legendarni dizajn
12:53
to a wonderful entertainment.
88
749000
2000
u prelepu zabavu.
12:55
Now, I know why I'm here.
89
751000
3000
Sada znam zašto sam ovde.
12:58

(Aplauz)
16:43
At first I thought I was just going to be here to perform,
92
979000
4000
Isprva sam mislila
da sam ovde samo da nastupam,
da sam ovde samo da nastupam,
16:47
but unexpectedly, I learned and enjoyed much more.
93
983000
4000
ali neočekivano,
naučila sam i uživala puno više.
naučila sam i uživala puno više.
16:52
But ... although some of them were quite up there for me.
94
988000
6000
Ali... nešto od toga
je za mene bilo zaista strano.
je za mene bilo zaista strano.
16:58
(Laughter)
95
994000
4000
(Smeh)
17:02
Like the multi-dimension stuff.
96
998000
4000
Poput multidimenzionalnih stvari.
17:06
I mean, honestly, I'd be happy enough
97
1002000
2000
Mislim, stvarno, bila bih srećna
17:08
if I can actually get my two dimension correct in school.
98
1004000
3000
kada bih u školi potrefila svoje dve dimenzije.
17:11
(Laughter)
99
1007000
4000
(Smeh)
17:15
But actually, the most impressive thing to me
100
1011000
3000
Ali mi je najimpresivnija stvar bila
17:18
is that ... well, actually,
101
1014000
1000
to da... zapravo,
17:19
I would also like to stand this for all children
102
1015000
4000
želela bih da u ime sve dece
17:23
is to say, thank you, to all adults
103
1019000
2000
kažem, hvala vam, svim odraslima
17:25
for actually caring for us a lot
104
1021000
4000
zato što mnogo brinete o nama
17:29
and to make our future world much better.
105
1025000
3000
i činite našu budućnost puno boljom.
17:32
Thank you.

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.
