... and that's one of the things that I enjoy most
1
37185
3293
关于这大会
00:56
about this convention.
2
40478
3249
我最享受的事之一就是
00:59
It's not so much, as so little as to do with what everything is.
3
43727
7611
都跟"万物为何"这个话题有着多多少少的关系
01:07
(Laughter)
4
51338
3390
（笑声）
01:10
But it is within our self-interest
5
54728
2134
了解一下生命的崎岖
01:12
to understand the topography of our lives
6
56862
2716
和我们自身的关系
01:15
unto ourselves.
7
59578
2018
是为了自身利益
01:17
(Laughter)
8
61596
4454
（笑声）
01:21
The future states
9
66050
1720
未来表明
01:23
that there is no time
10
67770
1783
并不存在时间
01:25
other than the collapsation of that sensation
11
69553
3732
只不过是我们在记忆影像中的生活
01:29
of the mirror of the memories in which we are living.
12
73285
2850
轰然崩塌而已
01:32
(Laughter)
13
76135
3172
（笑声）
01:35
Common knowledge,
14
79307
1478
虽说是常识
01:36
but important nonetheless.
15
80785
2469
但也还是很重要的
01:39
(Laughter)
16
83254
2365
（笑声）
01:41
As we face fear in these times,
17
85619
2529
在这种情况下我们感到恐惧
01:44
and fear is all around us,
18
88148
2366
恐惧无所不在
01:46
we also have anti-fear.
19
90514
2200
也有抗恐惧法子
01:48
It's hard to imagine or measure.
20
92714
2951
很难设想或衡量
01:51
The background radiation is simply too static
21
95665
3119
背景辐射过于静态
01:54
to be able to be seen under the normal spectral analysis.
22
98784
3527
普通光谱分析根本无法检测出来
01:58
But we feel as though there are times
23
102311
3482
但有些时候我们也会觉得
02:01
when a lot of us -- you know what I'm say'n?
24
105793
2477
当许多人 -- 你们懂的
02:04
But -- you know what I'm say'n?
25
108270
1867
但是呢 -- 你们懂的
02:06
Cuz, like, as a hip hop thing, you know what I'm say'n,
26
110137
2334
就 嘻哈音乐那种范儿 你们都懂的
02:08
TED be rock'n -- you know what I'm say'n.
27
112471
2515
TED赞爆了 -- 就这意思
02:10
Like so I wrote a song,
28
114986
2237
我写了首歌
02:13
and I hope you guys dig it.
29
117223
2181
希望大家喜欢
02:15
It's a song about people
30
119404
2118
这是一首有关人们
02:17
and sasquatches --
31
121522
2515
和长毛野人的歌曲 --
02:19
(Laughter)
32
124037
2634
（笑声）
02:22
-- and other French science stuff.
33
126671
2838
-- 还有些法国科技的玩意
02:25
That's French science.
34
129509
1399
没错 法国科技
02:26
Okay, here we go.
35
130908
3987
好 开唱
02:30
♫ I've been trying inside ♫
36
134895
7377
♫我一直内心在争斗♫
02:38
♫ I know that I'm in trouble by myself ♫
37
142288
16825
♫ 我知道我身陷囫囵 ♫
02:55
♫ But every time it gets me ♫
38
159113
4731
♫但每次它困扰我 ♫
02:59
♫ [unclear] ♫
39
163844
7269
♫ [听不清] ♫
03:09
(Music)
40
173183
30006
（音乐）
03:39
♫ And I've been trying to be the one that you believe in ♫
41
203189
5501
♫ 我一直努力成为你信任的那个人 ♫
03:44
♫ And you're the one that I want to be so saucy ♫
42
208690
5216
♫为了你 我才愿意变得这么挑逗♫
03:49
♫ And you're the one I want to [unclear], baby ♫
43
213906
4815
♫正是你，我才想[听不清]，宝贝 ♫
03:54
♫ And you can do anything ♫
44
218721
2465
♫ 你可以做任何的事♫
03:57
♫ as long as you don't get hurt along the way back ♫
45
221186
3603
♫只要事后你不会受到伤害 ♫
04:00
♫ If I survive, I'm gonna tell you what is wrong ♫
46
224789
4596
♫若我能生存下来 会告诉你哪里出了问题 ♫
04:05
♫ Because if you were [unclear] ♫
47
229385
5683
♫因为假若你是 [不确定] ♫
04:10
♫ And I think that you're looking like a [unclear] ♫
48
235068
5753
♫ 我认为你看起来像[不确定] ♫
04:16
♫ I give you what I want to be ♫
49
240821
5285
♫我给予你我所能做到的一切 ♫
04:22
(Music)
50
246106
15269
（音乐）
04:37
And it's like, you could use as many of those things that you want.
51
261375
3886
这些东西 你想用多少用多少
04:41
(Applause)
52
265261
5552
（掌声）
04:46
And the computer models,
53
270813
1302
那些计算机虚拟建模
04:48
no matter how many that you have
54
272115
1617
不管你做了多少
04:49
and how many people that you use,
55
273732
1517
用了多少人
04:51
are never going to be able to arrive at the same conclusions.
56
275249
3232
结论永远不同
04:54
Four years ago I worked with a few people at the Brookings Institute,
57
278481
4287
四年前我在布鲁金斯学院跟一些人合作
04:58
and I arrived at a conclusion.
58
282768
2118
得出了一个结论
05:00
(Laughter)
59
284886
7458
（笑声）
05:08
Tomorrow is another day.
60
292344
2289
明天是新的一天!
05:10
(Laughter)
61
294633
1935
（笑声）
05:12
Not just any day,
62
296568
2017
不是随便哪一天
05:14
but it is a day.
63
298585
2035
但反正就是一天
05:16
It will get here, there's no question.
64
300620
3120
明天一定会到来 这是毫无疑问的
05:19
And the important thing to remember
65
303740
2486
重要的是要记住
05:22
is that this simulation is a good one.
66
306226
3682
这次模拟是成功的
05:25
It's believable, it's tactile.
67
309908
2832
真实可信 触手可及
05:28
You can reach out -- things are solid.
68
312740
2069
你可以伸手触碰 -- 这些东西都是有形态的
05:30
You can move objects from one area to another.
69
314809
2349
你可以把东西从这儿移到那儿
05:33
You can feel your body.
70
317158
2417
你能感觉到自己的肢体
05:35
You can say, "I'd like to go over to this location,"
71
319575
2000
你可以说 “我想走到那个位置”
05:37
and you can move this mass of molecules through the air
72
321575
3089
然后你就能很随意地把这么一大坨分子
05:40
over to another location at will.
73
324664
2831
穿过这段空间移到那儿去
05:43
(Laughter)
74
327495
3106
（笑声）
05:46
That's something you live inside of every day.
75
330601
4368
这就是我们每天的经历
05:50
Now with the allocation and the understanding of
76
334969
3001
现在随着这种分配
05:53
the lack of understanding,
77
337970
1300
和对缺少理解的认知
05:55
we enter into a new era of science
78
339270
2347
我们进入了一个全新的科学范畴
05:57
in which we feel nothing more
79
341617
2960
对此我们感到
06:00
than so much so as to say
80
344577
2049
只能说
06:02
that those within themselves,
81
346626
2250
那些在科技本身中，
06:04
comporary or non-comporary,
82
348876
2718
当代的或非当代的，
06:07
will figuratively figure
83
351594
2067
会被象征性地包括进
06:09
into the folding of our non-understanding
84
353661
3100
我们不理解和半理解
06:12
and our partial understanding
85
356761
1861
的折叠当中
06:14
to the networks of which we all draw our source
86
358622
3287
对于我们汲取源头
06:17
and conclusions from.
87
361909
1716
和得出结论的网络
06:19
(Laughter)
88
363625
1566
（笑声）
06:21
So, as I say before the last piece,
89
365191
4235
所以 就像我在最后一首歌前说的
06:25
feel not as though it is a sphere we live on,
90
369426
3382
不要只觉得地球只是我们生存的地方
06:28
rather an infinite plane which has the illusion
91
372808
4565
它其实是一个广袤无垠的平原
06:33
of leading yourself back to the point of origin.
92
377373
3283
有着带领你溯本追源的幻觉
06:36
(Laughter)
93
380656
1282
（笑声）
06:37
Once we understand that all the spheres in the sky
94
381938
1835
一旦我们了解天空中的那些空间
06:39
are just large infinite planes,
95
383773
1873
都仅是广袤无垠的平原
06:41
it will be plain to see. Ha Ha Ha.
96
385646
4415
就会觉得"原"来如此了 哈哈哈
06:45
This is my final piece.
97
390061
2090
这是我最后一曲
06:48
And just remember
98
392151
1801
记住
06:49
everything you are --
99
393952
1498
你的一切 --
06:51
it's more important to realize
100
395450
2602
最重要的是认识到
06:53
the negative space,
101
398052
2436
负空间
06:56
as music is only the division of space;
102
400488
3249
正如音乐仅是空间的一部分
06:59
it is the space we are listening to divided as such,
103
403737
3117
我们所聆听的空间被分割成这样
07:02
which gives us the information
104
406854
1900
传达给我们信息
07:04
comparison to something other
105
408754
1200
相比于其它的
07:05
that gives us the idea of what the idea that wants to be transmitted
106
409954
3533
告诉我们想传递哪些想法
07:09
wants to be.
107
413487
1733
想产生哪些想法
07:11
So please, without further ado.
108
415220
1368
好了 不罗嗦了
07:12
(Applause)
109
416588

07:19
This is a fun one.
112
423835
2183
这首很有趣
07:21
It goes like this.
113
426018
1234
是这么唱的
07:23
(Music)
114
427252
25910
（音乐）
07:49
Okay, for the last piece I'd like to do,
115
453162
2111
我要唱的最后一曲
07:51
this one goes very similar to this.
116
455273
3002
跟这首很相像
07:54
I hope you guys recognize it.
117
458275
1397
我希望你们等会能听出来
07:55
Here we go.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Reggie Watts - Vocalist, beatboxer, comedianReggie Watts creates unpredictably brilliant performances on the spot using his voice, looping pedals and his giant brain.
Why you should listen
The winner of TED's Full Spectrum auditions, Reggie Watts works on the edge of improv performance -- at a place where you can almost visibly see his brain moving, as he pulls spoken and musical snippets from the sonosphere and blends them into a stream-of-consciousness flow. On screen, Reggie has appeared on The Conan O’Brien Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, HBO’s The Yes Men Save the World, Comedy Central’s Michael and Michael Have Issues and PBS’ Electric Company. Last summer, he opened nightly on Conan O'Brien’s sold-out North American “Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” tour.
