Indians印度人 are the second-largest第二大
users用户 of smartphones智能手机 in the world世界.

3278
用上了能上网的智能手机。
02:05
And if you know anything about India印度,
37
113371
1833
如果你对印度略知一二的话,
就会知道“印度城市人口的一半”
几乎相当于整个美国的人口,
02:07
you'll你会 know that "half" means手段,
like, all of America美国 or something.
38
115228

02:18
And what they're doing
is empowering授权 Indians印度人
43
126228
2072
他们从各个不同方面
02:20
in all kinds of extraordinary非凡 ways方法.
44
128324
2458
正赋予印度新的活力。
02:22
And yet然而, none没有 of these changes变化
that I was seeing眼看 around me
45
130806
3438
然而,我看到的周围这些变化,
对我的世界,书的世界
02:26
were reflected反射的 in my world世界,
my world世界 of books图书.
46
134268
2906
却没有产生任何的影响和改变。
02:30
I live生活 in a country国家 the size尺寸 of Europe欧洲,
47
138006
3095
我生活的国家和整个欧洲差不多大,
02:33
and it only has 50 decent正经 bookshops书店.
48
141125
2469
却仅有50家像样的书店,
02:36
And Indians印度人 just didn't seem似乎
to want to read for fun开玩笑.
49
144053
3237
印度人好像对读书并不感兴趣。
02:39
So if you look at all
the best-seller畅销书 lists名单 in India印度,
50
147314
2511
如果你看一下印度的畅销书排行,
02:41
what you'll你会 always find

51
149849
2221
上榜的总是一些
考试和专业技术指南类书籍。
02:44

52
152094
1815
02:45
Imagine想像 if you found发现 the SATSAT guides导游
as the "New York纽约 Times" number one seller卖家,
53
153933
3995
就好比“纽约时报”排名第一的
畅销书总是SAT考试指南一样,
02:49
month after month.
54
157953
1464
如此日复一日,年复一年。
02:53
And yet然而, the smartphone手机 revolution革命
was creating创建 readers读者 and writers作家
55
161659
4800
然而,这场智能手机革命
却催生了一个不同类别的
02:58
of a different不同 kind.
56
166484
1745
读者和撰稿人。
03:00
Whether是否 it was on FacebookFacebook的 or WhatsAppWhatsApp的,
57
168254
2841
不管在脸书上,还是WhatsApp上,
03:03
Indians印度人 were writing写作 and sharing分享
and reading all kinds of things:
58
171119
4841
印度人都在创作,分享和
阅读各种各样的题材:
03:07
terrible可怕 jokes笑话, spurious pop流行的 history历史,
59
175984
3714
低俗笑话、虚假流行历史、
长篇情感告白、
03:11
long, emotional情绪化 confessions自白,
60
179722
2676
抨击政府的檄文。
03:14
diatribes抨击 against反对 the government政府.
61
182422
2171
03:16
And as I read and shared共享 these things,
I wondered想知道 to myself,
62
184617
3286
我阅读和转发这些东西时,
常常暗自思忖道:
03:19
"Could I get these writers作家
and these readers读者,
63
187927
4262
“我能找到这些撰稿人和读者,
03:24
could I turn them into my readers读者?"
64
192213
2333
把他们变成我的读者吗?”
03:27
And so I left my plush长毛绒 corner office办公室
65
195212
2683
于是,我离开自己宽敞舒适的办公室,
03:29
and my job工作 as the publisher出版者
of India's印度 top最佳 publishing出版 company公司,
66
197919
4372
辞去了印度顶尖出版公司的发行人工作,
03:34
and I set up on my own拥有.
67
202315
1678
开始自己创业。
我搬到了位于德里市房租便宜的
波西米亚区的一个大房间,
03:36
I moved移动 into a single large room房间
in a cheap低廉 bohemian波希米亚 district of Delhi新德里,
68
204017
6703
建立了个小团队,
03:42
with a small team球队.
69
210744
1314
在那里,我创办了一个新型出版社,
03:44
And there, I set up
a new kind of publishing出版 house.
70
212402
2974
03:48
A new kind of publishing出版 house
needs需求 a new kind of reader读者
71
216355
3410
一个需要新型读者
和新颖出版物的新型出版社。
03:51
and a new kind of book.
72
219789
1533
所以我问自己:“新型读者想读什么呢?”
03:54
And so I asked myself,
"What would this new reader读者 want?
73
222218
2920
03:57
Would they prize urgency, relevance关联,
74
225162
3794
他们会注重紧迫性、相关性、
04:00
timeliness及时, directness直接 --
75
228980
2278
及时性、直接性——
这些看似是他们想从
网上服务中获取的品质,
04:03
the very qualities气质 they seem似乎 to want
from their online线上 services服务,
76
231282
3676
04:06
indeed确实, the qualities气质 they seem似乎
to want from life today今天?"
77
234982
3138
是眼下生活中他们想要的品质吗?
我深知,我的读者们总是忙个不停,
04:11
I knew知道 that my readers读者
were always on the go.
78
239149
2634
04:13
I'd have to fit适合 into
their lifestyle生活方式 and schedules时间表.
79
241807
2921
我必须去迎合他们的
生活方式和时间安排。
04:16
Would they actually其实 want to read
a 200-page-页 book?
80
244752
3058
他们会想阅读一本200页的书吗?
04:19
Or would they want something
a little bit more digestible易消化?
81
247834
3113
或者,他们想读一些更简单易懂的读物?
印度人具有令人难以置信的价值意识 ,
04:23
Indians印度人 are incredibly令人难以置信 value-conscious有价值意识,
82
251676
2976
04:26
especially特别 when it comes
to their online线上 reading.
83
254676
2544
尤其是在网上阅读方面。
04:29
I knew知道 I had to give them
books图书 under a dollar美元.
84
257244
3392
我知道,给他们的书必须低于 1 美元。
于是,我的公司正式成立了。
04:33
And so my company公司 was formed形成,
and it was born天生.
85
261735
3432
04:37
It was a platform平台 where we created创建 a list名单
of stories故事 designed设计 for the smartphone手机,
86
265191
6235
这是一个平台,我们在平台上创建了
一个为智能手机设计的故事列表,
同时,也允许业余作家将
自己创作的故事上传到平台,
04:43
but it also allowed允许 amateur业余 writers作家
to upload上载 their own拥有 stories故事,
87
271450
4175
04:47
so they could be showcased展出
along沿 with the very writers作家
88
275649
2571
这样一来,他们的作品就可以和
自己所仰慕的作家的
作品一同展示出来。
04:50
they read and admired尊敬的.
89
278244
1730
04:51
And we could also enter输入 into
other people's人们 digital数字 platforms平台.
90
279998
4508
而且,我们和其它
数字平台也建立了联系。
试想一下这样的场景:

父母不可能知道你的性取向,
05:23
There's no way your parents父母
know about your sexuality性欲.
100
311300
