2000
嘲鸟都是坏蛋
00:28
(Laughter)
1
3000
1000
（笑）
00:29
They are.
2
4000
2000
确实如此
00:31
Mockingbirds -- that's Mimus polyglottos --
3
6000
2000
嘲鸟--是会说不同语言的鸣禽--
00:33
are the emcees of the animal kingdom.
4
8000
2000
是动物王国的主持人
00:35
They listen and mimic and remix what they like.
5
10000
2000
他们边听边模仿，再组合成他们喜欢的东西
00:37
They rock the mic outside my window every morning.
6
12000
2000
它们每早都在我的窗口大展歌喉
00:39
I can hear them sing the sounds of the car alarms
7
14000
3000
它们把汽车鸣笛声
00:42
like they were songs of spring.
8
17000
2000
唱的宛如春之颂
00:44
I mean, if you can talk it, a mockingbird can squawk it.
9
19000
2000
我的意思是，只要你能说出来的，嘲鸫就能唱出来
00:46
So check it, I'm gonna to catch mockingbirds.
10
21000
2000
为了检验他们这个能力，我要去抓嘲鸫
00:48
I'm going to trap mockingbirds all across the nation
11
23000
3000
我将在全国都设下陷阱
00:51
and put them gently into mason jars like mockingbird Molotov cocktails.
12
26000
3000
再轻轻把它们放到罐子里，就像一个“嘲鸟级”燃烧弹
00:54
(Laughter)
13
29000
1000
（笑）
00:55
Yeah. And as I drive through a neighborhood,
14
30000
2000
在我开车穿过一个
00:57
say, where people got-a-lotta, I'll take a mockingbird I caught
15
32000
3000
富裕的社区时，我要抓只嘲鸫
01:00
in a neighborhood where folks ain't got nada and just let it go, you know.
16
35000
3000
在一个贫穷的社区就给它条生路
01:03
Up goes the bird, out come the words, "Juanito, Juanito,
17
38000
3000
鸟儿飞走时还说道：“华尼托，华尼托，
01:06
vente a comer mi hijo!"
18
41000
2000
我的孩子在吃风！“（西班牙语）
01:08
Oh, I'm going to be the Johnny Appleseed of sound.
19
43000
3000
哦！我将会拥有Johnny Appleseed的声音
01:11
(Laughter)
20
46000
1000
（笑）
01:12
Cruising random city streets, rocking a drop-top Cadillac
21
47000
3000
开着敞篷凯迪拉克游荡在街上
01:15
with a big backseat, packing like 13 brown paper Walmart bags
22
50000
3000
车上有个大后座，后座上有13个棕色的沃尔玛纸袋
01:18
full of loaded mockingbirds, and I'll get everybody.
23
53000
3000
里面都是嘲鸫，这样我就能搜集到每个人的声音
01:21
(Laughter)
24
56000
1000
（笑）
01:22
I'll get the nitwit on the network news saying,
25
57000
2000
我会记录下在新闻上说：
01:24
"We'll be back in a moment with more on the crisis."
26
59000
2000
”广告过后为您带来更多灾难详情。”的傻子
01:26
I'll get some asshole at a watering hole asking what brand the ice is.
27
61000
2000
我会记下在卖酒商店里问冰块的品牌的混球。
01:28

28
63000
3000

66000
3000
我会记下计划晚餐食谱的邮递员
01:34
I'll get the last time you lied.
30
69000
2000
还有你上一次说谎的时候
01:36
I'll get, "Baby, just give me the frickin' TV guide."
31
71000
2000
我会记下：”亲爱的，给我那该死的节目预告。“
01:38
I'll get a lonely, little sentence with real error in it,
32
73000
2000
还会记下一个孤独、简短的错句
01:40
"Yeah, I guess I could come inside, but only for a minute."
33
75000
2000
”我想我会进来，不过就一分钟。“
01:42
(Laughter)
34
77000
1000
（笑）
01:43
I'll get an ESL class in Chinatown learning "It's Raining, It's Pouring."
35
78000
4000
我会记下中国城的一堂非母语英语课程，能听到”下雨了，倾盆大雨。“
01:47
I'll put a mockingbird on a late-night train just to get an old man snoring.
36
82000
3000
为了记录到夜班车上老头的鼾声，我会放只嘲鸠
01:50
I'll get your ex-lover telling someone else, "Good morning."
37
85000
3000
我还能得到你昔日恋人给别人的甜言蜜语
01:53
I'll get everyone's good mornings.
38
88000
2000
我会记录下每个人的早晨问候
01:55
I don't care how you make 'em.
39
90000
2000
不管是什么语言的
01:57
Aloha. Konichiwa. Shalom. Ah-Salam Alaikum.
40
92000
3000
你好（夏威夷语）、你好（日语）、你好（希伯来语）
02:00
Everybody means everybody, means everybody here.
41
95000
2000
每个人意味着所有的人，包括在座的各位
02:02
And so maybe I'll build a gilded cage.
42
97000
2000
我会建成一个丰富多彩的笼子
02:04
I'll line the bottom with old notebook pages.
43
99000
2000
下面铺满了一页页旧笔记
02:06
Inside it, I will place a mockingbird for --
44
101000
3000
在笼子里放只嘲鹊
02:09
short explanation, hippie parents.
45
104000
2000
简而言之，是为嬉皮父母准备的
02:11
(Laughter)
46
106000
1000
（笑）
02:12
What does a violin have to do with technology?
47
107000
3000
小提琴和科技有什么关系？
02:15
Where in the world is this world heading?
48
110000
2000
这个世界会前往何方？
02:17
On one end, gold bars --
49
112000
3000
一端是，金色的栅栏
02:20
on the other, an entire planet.
50
115000
2000
另一端是整个星球
02:22
We are 12 billion light years from the edge.
51
117000
3000
我们离宇宙的边际有120亿光年
02:25
That's a guess.
52
120000
1000
这只是推测
02:26
Space is length and breadth continued indefinitely,
53
121000
3000
宇宙横向纵向不断扩大
02:29
but you cannot buy a ticket to travel commercially to space in America
54
124000
3000
但在美国你却买不到漫游宇宙的飞机票
02:32
because countries are beginning to eat like us, live like us and die like us.
55
127000
3000
因为其他国家开始像我们人类一样吃饭、生活、死去
02:35
You might wanna avert your gaze, because that
56
130000
2000
你也许想转移注意力了，因为
02:37
is a newt about to regenerate its limb,
57
132000
3000
一个水螈将要伸展它的四肢
02:40
and shaking hands spreads more germs than kissing.
58
135000
3000
摇晃着手臂传播更多的细菌而不是吸血
02:43
There's about 10 million phage per job.
59
138000
2000
每一次抖动大约有100万德噬菌体散播出去
02:45
It's a very strange world inside a nanotube.
60
140000
3000
从纳米的视角来看，这是一个奇怪的世界
02:48
Women can talk; black men ski; white men build strong buildings;
61
143000
4000
女人们交谈着，黑人们在滑雪，白人在建造坚实的建筑
02:52
we build strong suns.
62
147000
2000
我们建造了许多繁荣
02:54
The surface of the Earth is absolutely riddled with holes,
63
149000
3000
地球的表面充满了各种洞
02:57
and here we are, right in the middle.
64
152000
4000
我们就在这里，正好在最中央
03:01
(Laughter)
65
156000
1000
（笑声）
03:02
It is the voice of life that calls us to come and learn.
66
157000
3000
生活呼唤我们来学习
03:05
When all the little mockingbirds fly away,
67
160000
2000
当所有的小嘲鸟飞走了
03:07
they're going to sound like the last four days.
68
162000
3000
它们的言语里全是过去的这四天（TED大会的4天）
03:10
I will get uptown gurus, downtown teachers,
69
165000
3000
我将会记录下居民区的专家，闹市区的教师
03:13
broke-ass artists and dealers, and Filipino preachers, leaf blowers,
70
168000
3000
愚蠢的艺术家和商人，还有菲律宾的牧师，金属薄片制作工人
03:16
bartenders, boob-job doctors, hooligans, garbage men,
71
171000
2000
酒间侍者，乳房切割手术的医生，街头恶棍还有拾荒者
03:18
your local Congressmen in the spotlight, guys in the overhead helicopters.
72
173000
2000
聚光灯下众议员，头顶上直升飞机中的小伙子
03:20
Everybody gets heard.
73
175000
2000
每个人都听到
03:22
Everybody gets this one, honest mockingbird as a witness.
74
177000
4000
每个人都会听到这些声音，诚实的嘲鸟是见证者
03:26
And I'm on this.
75
181000
2000
我已经准备就绪了
03:28
I'm on this 'til the whole thing spreads,
76
183000
2000
我将会支持这一切直到所有的思想都散播出去
03:30
with chat rooms and copycats and moms maybe tucking kids into bed
77
185000
2000
聊天室里的谈论，模仿者的出现，还有妈妈们把她们床上的孩子盖好被子
03:32
singing, "Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
78
187000
3000
哼唱着：“嘘~，小宝贝，一句话也不要说，
03:35
Wait for the man with the mockingbird."
79
190000
3000
等那个拥有嘲鸟的男人。”
03:38
(Laughter)
80
193000
1000
（笑声）
03:39
Yeah. And then come the news crews, and
81
194000
2000
嗯，然后新闻界的一群人会出来
03:41
the man-in-the-street interviews, and the letters to the editor.
82
196000
2000
普通人也会出来采访，写好文章给编辑
03:43
Everybody asking, just who is responsible for this citywide,
83
198000
3000
每个人都在问：“谁对这个全市的
03:46
nationwide mockingbird cacophony, and somebody finally is going to tip
84
201000
3000
甚至是全国性的嘲鸟的吵闹声负责？“最后，某个人前去
03:49
the City Council of Monterey, California off to me,
85
204000
3000
建议加州的蒙特利市政会来找我
03:52
and they'll offer me a key to the city.
86
207000
2000
然后，他们会给我一把这个城市的钥匙
03:54
A gold-plated, oversized key to the city
87
209000
2000
一个镀金的，大号的钥匙
03:56
and that is all I need, 'cause if I get that, I can unlock the air.
88
211000
4000
这正是我所需要的，因为，一旦我得到它，我就可以打开天空的枷锁
04:00
I'll listen for what's missing, and I'll put it there.
89
215000
4000
我会倾听缺少了什么，然后我将把缺憾填补上
04:04
Thank you, TED.
90
219000
1000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rives - Performance poet, multimedia artistPerformance artist and storyteller Rives has been called "the first 2.0 poet," using images, video and technology to bring his words to life.
Why you should listen
Part poet, part storyteller, part philosopher, Rives is the co-host of TEDActive as well as a frequent TED speaker. On stage, his poems burst in many directions, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold. Chimborazo.
A regular on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Rives also starred alongside model Bar Refaeli in the 2008 Bravo special Ironic Iconic America, touring the United States on a "roller coaster ride through the eye-popping panorama of American pop culture." Flat pages can't contain his storytelling, even when paper is his medium. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
His latest project—the Museum of Four in the Morning—is an ode to a time that may well be part of a global conspiracy. In a good way.
