你在那裡坐了數個小時,
把那些小圓圈塗滿——
with your No. 2 pencil --
written cursive alphabet,
on the wall, that industrial clock.
that oppressive fluorescent light,
but you don't have to,
但你也不用再忍受,
「好了,各位,到此為止。」
"OK, boys and girls, you're done."
什麼都不剩,只留下雲霧狀尾跡。
left of you but a vapor trail.
that little molded plastic chair,
那張模壓塑膠小椅子,
and the BO smell and the cubbies,
汗臭味,和置物櫃,
I'm a designer and creative director,
那是我的工作。
為各式各樣的人做空間的揭示,
in all kinds of different ways,
complicated, but it's not.
我會告訴各位三種方法,
I'm going to give you three ways
move through your world
of space, or at least reveal them.
New Yorker, blah, blah, blah, therapy.
紐約客,有的沒的,治療。
知道你為什麼要做這些事,對吧?
why you're doing these things, right?
《漢密爾頓》的工作時,
of designing "Hamilton,"
this 246-year-old story?
這個已經 246 歲的故事?
that you want to say,
你們想說的是什麼?
when they experience the show?"
你們希望他們有什麼感覺?
我們就要進行步驟二:設計階段。
we move into step two: the design phase.
some little tricks about that,
because we get to make these cool toys.
he reaches into mine,
他進入我的腦袋裡,
我說:「這個世界看起來
look like the world
給呈現出來的地方嗎?」
where we could house your show?"
and when the answer is yes --
且當答案是「是」——
is the most terrifying part,
最讓人害怕的部分,
we get to build this thing,
from a few people to a few hundred people
變成幾百個人,
super-sizer machine
我們不會知道是否做對了,
"Is it OK? Is it OK?"
說:「可以嗎?可以嗎?」
that you want to turn into a show
然後想要把它變成一齣劇,
by the way. It's called your life.
這齣劇叫做「你的人生」。恭喜。
「全世界就是舞台。」
"All the world's a stage."
他很莊嚴地搞砸的部分,
was that part where he said,
and the lighting designers
你的世界中的舞台設計師。
being the set designer in your world.
if you do these three steps
如果你能做這三個步驟,
as I said, I'm going to tell you,
會告訴你們的小技倆,
依你想要的方式改變世界,
好,大家去寫一齣劇。
"How are you feeling today?"
「你今天感覺如何?」
because when we design the world for you,
is going to become light and color.
《致埃文漢森》。(歡呼)
"Dear Evan Hansen."
of almost all light and color.
墨黑的黑暗色。(笑聲)
the way that sadness is an emotion.
but not before it wrecks people.
但在這之前會先給人挫折。
could the set possibly be to transform you
爲你帶來煥然一新的體驗?
坐了兩小時二十分鐘。」
Miss Darling's class.
達林老師的教室時,
at the right moment,
a beautiful blue sky.
and it transports them,
給予他們希望。
因為顏色就是情緒,
you're painting with feelings.
你就是用感受來作畫。
you file away in your mental Rolodex.
你的心理名片盒中的那種情緒。
它在你衣櫥裡的哪個地方?
and where in your home does it exist?
to tell you how you feel in certain times.
在某些時候你要有什麼感覺。
because you put the hero in white,
因為你讓英雄穿白色,
you put the villain in all black.
that happens in the world
在世界中穿梭。
the world in a safe way.
Light switches are all at the same height.
燈光開關都設在同樣的高度。
thank God -- at the same height,
設在同樣的高度,
misses the toilet bowl.
to tweak those architectural standards
來得到我們想要的,會如何?
I made for Pee-Wee Herman.
皮威赫爾曼製作的樓梯。
so that we perceive Pee-Wee as a child.
and everything come to life,
than those stairs.
up and down those stairs,
of what we ask people in opera to do.
can glide up and down effortlessly
in Pee-Wee's Playhouse,
皮威的劇場中是不可能的,
or they wouldn't be able to do their job.
唱好他們的歌。(笑聲)
in an opera set.
那就不是皮威了。
up and down those stairs.
上下樓梯。(笑聲)
elegantly up and down the stairs.
想想你的場景、你的家、
what you exist in every single day.
the trash can is just too small
that you buy every night, right?
買回家的外帶食物,對吧?
好像我在比薩店捏麵團一樣,
like I'm kneading dough at a pizza place,
because I don't understand.
precariously placed coats,
of a chasm of darkness.
關於你自己的一些事,
revealed something about yourself
that he wanted to be God.
告訴我他想要當上帝。
we were sending images back and forth,
of the aurora borealis
from a mountaintop looking down
the surface of water --
was a huge light box
上面有他唱片公司的名字。
它會閃光,就像雷電。
in front of it,
like a lightning bolt.
卻像入門工具包的史詩。
starter-kit epic.
中間有一道裂痕,
with a tear down the middle,
deep parts of the cosmos.
on top of an obelisk,
standing on top of boxes.
as an artist through space,
by 40-foot-tall ancient artifact,
and we were all witness to it.
which I didn't design but I witnessed,
設計的,我只是見證,
on a floating plexiglass deck
塑膠玻璃甲板上,
to Yeezus up above.
in your living room.
who he was about himself,
and I saw a puddle.
「我要左轉,不——壓過它。」
No -- I'm going through it."
接著——噗噗噗——
all the water underneath my car,
「啊哈」的時刻。
needs to be designed.
"The drainage needs to be designed
都需要好好設計。」
in the world needs to be designed."
an interesting or necessarily helpful path
reaching into people's minds
接觸人們的心靈,
that we can all interact with.
to do this with fancy collaborators,
合作者一起做這件事,
那三個簡單的步驟——
those three easy steps --
why do I do the things that I do;
and follow through with it,
with a little color theory --
一點顏色理論——
disrespect for architectural standards,
that you want to live in,
and buy a new trash can.
