E: Hi, sweetheart.
6
11000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：嗨，甜心寶貝。
00:24
SW: Much better. Well, Einstein is very honored to be here at TED 2006,
7
12000
5000
白小姐:好多了。事情是這樣的，愛鸚斯坦覺得非常榮幸能參加在此地舉行的TED2006 的會議。
00:29
amongst all you modern-day Einsteins. In fact, she's very excited.
8
17000
3000
能身處你們這些現代愛因斯坦的行列中，她真的很興奮。
00:32
E: Woo.
9
20000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：唔！( 好棒喔)
00:33
SW: Yeah.
10
21000
1000
白小姐：耶~
00:34
(Laughter)
11
22000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
00:35
Since we've arrived, there's been a constant buzz about
12
23000
2000
我們到達這裡之後，就持續聽到有關
00:37
all the exciting speakers here for the conference.
13
25000
3000
許多知名的講者會出現在這次會議中的傳言。
00:40
This morning we've heard a lot of whispers about
14
28000
2000
今天上午，我們聽到的傳言是
00:42
Tom Reilly's wrap-up on Saturday. Einstein, did you hear whispers?
15
30000
3000
星期六將由Tom Reilly作總結。愛鸚斯坦，你有聽到哪些傳言嗎？
00:45
E: [Squawks]
16
33000
1000
愛鸚斯坦: 嘰哩呱啦...嘰哩呱啦 (傳言一大堆喔)
00:46
SW: Yeah.
17
34000
1000
白小姐:是啊。
00:47
(Laughter)
18
35000
1000
( 聽眾笑聲 )
00:48
Einstein's especially interested in Penelope's talk.
19
36000
3000
白小姐：愛鸚斯坦對於Penelop的演講最有興趣，
00:51
A lot of her research goes on in caves, which can get pretty dusty.
20
39000
3000
她的許多研究是在灰塵很多的洞穴裡進行的。
00:54
E: Achoo!
21
42000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：哈啾！(打噴嚏聲)
00:56
SW: It could make her sneeze. But more importantly, her research
22
44000
3000
白小姐：灰塵會讓她打噴嚏，但很重要的一點是，她研究的結果
00:59
could help Einstein find a cure for her never-ending scratchy throat.
23
47000
3000
可能可以幫助愛鸚斯坦為她一直醫不好的沙啞嗓子找到解藥。
01:02
Einstein: [Coughs]
24
50000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：咳..咳..咳(連續咳嗽聲)
01:04
SW: Yeah.
25
52000
1000
白小姐：耶..
01:05
(Laughter)
26
53000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
01:06
Well, Bob Russell was telling us about his work on nanotubes
27
54000
2000
BOB RUSSELL在演講中告訴我們有關奈米管的研究，
01:08
in his research at the microscopic level.
28
56000
2000
該研究是從微觀的角度進行，
01:10
Well, that's really cool, but what Einstein's really hoping
29
58000
3000
那很酷，但是愛鸚斯坦更期待的是
01:14
is that maybe he'll genetically engineer a five-pound peanut.
30
62000
3000
或許他將來可以用基因工程創造出一顆五磅重的花生米。
01:17
E: Oh, my God! My God! My God!
31
65000
2000
愛鸚斯坦:喔，天啊！天啊！天啊！
01:19
SW: Yeah. She would get really, really excited.
32
67000
2000
白小姐：看來如果事情真能這樣發生，愛鸚斯坦會很興奮喔！
01:21
(Laughter)
33
69000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
01:22
That is one big peanut. Since Einstein is a bird,
34
70000
3000
那會是一顆很大的花生。身為鳥類的愛鸚斯坦，
01:25
she's very interested in things that fly.
35
73000
3000
當然對會飛的事物都非常有興趣，
01:28
She thinks Burt Rutan is very impressive.
36
76000
2000
所以她對BURT RUTAN可是印象非常深刻。
01:30
E: Ooh.
37
78000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：唔！( 驚嘆聲 好厲害喔)
01:31
SW: Yeah. She especially likes his latest achievement, SpaceShipOne.
38
79000
4000
白小姐：對，她非常喜愛BURT RUTAN最近在太空船一號的成果，
01:35
Einstein, would you like to ride in Burt's spaceship?
39
83000
3000
愛鸚斯坦，你想要坐BURT RUTAN的太空船嗎?
01:38
E: [Spaceship noise]
40
86000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：咕咕咕...(太空船飛行時的聲音)
01:39
SW: Even if it doesn't have a laser?
41
87000
1000
白小姐：就算那太空船裡面沒有雷射光，你也要搭嗎？
01:40
E: [Laser noise]
42
88000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：倂併併...(雷射槍射擊聲)
01:42
(Laughter)
43
90000
3000
(聽眾笑聲)
01:45
SW: Yeah, yeah. That was pretty funny, Einstein.
44
93000
3000
白小姐：耶~耶~愛鸚斯坦你這一招頂好玩耶。
01:49
Now, Einstein also thinks, you know, working in caves
45
97000
4000
愛鸚斯坦認為在洞穴裡，
01:53
and travelling through space -- it's all very dangerous jobs.
46
101000
3000
或是到太空旅行都是很危險的，
01:56
It would be very dangerous if you fell down.
47
104000
3000
因為一個不小心就會摔下來。
01:59
E: Wheeeeeee! [Splat]
48
107000
2000
愛鸚斯坦： 休-----碰！(由高處摔下的落下聲)
02:01
SW: Yeah.
49
109000
1000
白小姐：表演的真好！
02:02
(Laughter)
50
110000
2000
(聽眾笑聲)
02:04
Little splat at the end there. Einstein, did that hurt?
51
112000
1000
最後摔到地面了，愛鸚斯坦這樣會痛嗎?
02:05
E: Ow, ow, ow.
52
113000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：噢!噢!噢! (好痛 好痛)
02:06
SW: Yeah. It's all a lot of hard work.
53
114000
2000
白小姐：沒錯，這些都有許多辛苦的工作要做。
02:09
E: [Squawks]
54
117000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：休— (鬆一口氣的聲音 )
02:10
SW: Yeah. It can get a bird like Einstein frustrated.
55
118000
2000
白小姐：這會使愛鸚斯坦這樣的鳥類感覺心灰意冷。
02:12
E: [Squawks]
56
120000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：嗯 !(不知所措的嘆氣聲)
02:13
SW: Yeah, it sure can. But when Einstein needs to relax from her job
57
121000
3000
白小姐：絕對沒錯。但是當愛鸚斯坦需要在她的工作之餘放鬆一點--
02:16
educating the public, she loves to take in the arts.
58
124000
3000
她的工作是教育公衆--在閒暇之餘，她酷愛藝術。
02:19
If the children of the Uganda need another dance partner,
59
127000
3000
如果烏干達的孩子們需要另一位舞伴的話，
02:22
Einstein could sure fit the bill, because she loves to dance.
60
130000
3000
愛鸚斯坦是最適合不過的，因爲她喜歡跳舞。
02:25
Can you get down?
61
133000
2000
你能爲大家跳段舞嗎？
02:27
E: [Bobbing head] (Laughter)
62
135000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(不斷地上下晃動腦袋) (笑聲)
02:28
SW: Let's get down for everybody. Come on now.
63
136000
2000
讓我們為大家跳舞吧。現在開始。
02:30
She's going to make me do it, too. Ooh, ooh.
64
138000
2000
她要我跟它一起跳。噢，噢。
02:32
Einstein: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
65
140000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：噢，噢，噢，噢。
02:34
SW: Do your head now.
66
142000
1000
白小姐：頭也要動起來啊。
02:35
E: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
67
143000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：噢，噢，噢，噢
02:38
(Laughter)
68
146000
3000
(聽眾笑聲)
02:41
SW: Or maybe Sirena Huang would like to learn some arias
69
149000
3000
白小姐：也許西麗娜．黃會想用她的小提琴
02:44
on her violin, and Einstein can sing along with some opera?
70
152000
3000
學著拉一些詠嘆調，愛鸚斯坦你可以跟著唱一些歌劇嗎？
02:47
E: [Operatic squawk]
71
155000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(歌劇的呱呱聲)
02:48
SW: Very good.
72
156000
1000
白小姐：非常好。
02:49
(Laughter)
73
157000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
02:50
Or maybe Stu just needs another backup singer?
74
158000
3000
如果史圖也需要一個合音歌手呢？
02:53
Einstein, can you also sing?
75
161000
2000
愛鸚斯坦，你會唱歌嗎？
02:55
I know, you need to get rid of that seed first. Can you sing?
76
163000
2000
當然了，你得先把那顆瓜子吃掉。你能唱嗎？
02:57
E: La, la.
77
165000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：拉，拉。
02:58
SW: There you go. And, of course, if all else fails,
78
166000
3000
白小姐：好極了。當然了，如果你這些都做不成，
03:01
you can just run off and enjoy a fun fiesta.
79
169000
3000
你大可溜掉，好好享受一個有趣的假期。
03:04
E: [Squawks]
80
172000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(呱呱)
03:06
SW: All right. Well, Einstein was pretty embarrassed to admit this earlier,
81
174000
4000
白小姐：好了，愛鸚斯坦原先不好意思承認，
03:10
but she was telling me backstage that she had a problem.
82
178000
3000
但她在後臺告訴我說，她有一點小麻煩。
03:13
E: What's the matter?
83
181000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：你有甚麼問題？
03:15
SW: No, I don't have a problem. You have the problem, remember?
84
183000
2000
白小姐：不，我才沒有麻煩呢。是你碰到一些麻煩了，記得嗎？
03:17
You were saying that you were really embarrassed,
85
185000
2000
你說，你非常不好意思，
03:19
because you're in love with a pirate?
86
187000
2000
因爲你愛上了一個海盜？
03:21
E: Yar.
87
189000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：是啊。
03:22
SW: There you go. And what do pirates like to drink?
88
190000
3000
白小姐：承認了吧。海盜喜歡喝什麽？
03:25
E: Beer.
89
193000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：啤酒。
03:26
SW: Yeah, that's right. But you don't like to drink beer, Einstein.
90
194000
3000
白小姐：是的，沒錯。但是你不喜歡喝啤酒，對不對，愛鸚斯坦？
03:29
You like to drink water.
91
197000
1000
你喜歡喝的是水。
03:30
E: [Water sound]
92
198000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(一飲而盡的喝水聲)
03:31
SW: Very good. Now, really, she is pretty nervous.
93
199000
3000
白小姐：非常好。現在她真的非常緊張。
03:34
Because one of her favorite folks from back home is here,
94
202000
3000
因爲在她家鄉她最欣賞的一個人現在就在現場，
03:37
and she's pretty nervous to meet him.
95
205000
2000
要與他見面，她非常緊張。
03:39
She thinks Al Gore is a really good-looking man.
96
207000
3000
她認爲艾爾.高爾(美國前副總統)非常英俊。
03:42
What do you say to a good-looking man?
97
210000
2000
你想對帥哥說些什麽？
03:44
E: Hey, baby.
98
212000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：你好，寶貝。
03:45
(Laughter)
99
213000
2000
(聽眾笑聲)
03:47
SW: And so do all the folks back home in Tennessee.
100
215000
2000
白小姐：也對在田納西的鄉親們打個招呼吧？
03:49
E: Yee haw.
101
217000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：嘻哈(興奮激動的聲音)
03:51
(Laughter)
102
219000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
03:52
SW: And since she's such a big fan,
103
220000
2000
白小姐：因爲她是高爾的大粉絲，
03:54
she knows that his birthday is coming up at the end of March.
104
222000
2000
愛因斯坦知道高爾的生日是在三月底。
03:56
And we didn't think he'd be in town then,
105
224000
2000
我們猜他那時不會在這裏。
03:58
so Einstein wanted to do something special for him.
106
226000
3000
因此愛鸚斯坦現在想爲他做點兒特殊的事情。
04:01
So let's see if Einstein will sing "Happy Birthday" to Al Gore.
107
229000
3000
讓我們看看愛鸚斯坦是否願意爲高爾唱“生日快樂"歌。
04:04
Can you sing "Happy Birthday" to him?
108
232000
2000
愛鸚斯坦你可以爲高爾唱“生日快樂”歌嗎？
04:06
E: Happy birthday to you.
109
234000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：祝你生日快樂。
04:08
SW: Again.
110
236000
2000
白小姐：再唱一遍。
04:10
E: Happy birthday to you.
111
238000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：祝你生日快樂
04:11
SW: Again.
112
239000
1000
白小姐:再一次
04:12
E: Happy birthday to you.
113
240000
3000
愛鸚斯坦：祝你生日快樂
04:15
SW: Big finish.
114
243000
1000
白小姐：作個完美的結束。
04:16
E: Happy birthday to you.
115
244000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：祝你生日快樂。
04:18
SW: Good job!
116
246000
2000
白小姐：好極了。
04:20
(Applause)
117
248000
5000
(聽眾鼓掌聲)
04:26
Well, before we wrap it up, she would like to give a shout out
118
254000
3000
在我們結束之前，她希望向
04:29
to all our animal friends back at the Knoxville Zoo.
119
257000
3000
所有我們在諾克斯威爾動物園的動物朋友們打個招呼。
04:32
Einstein, do you want to say "hi" to all the owls?
120
260000
2000
愛鸚斯坦，你想對所有貓頭鷹問好嗎？
04:34
E: Woo, woo, woo.
121
262000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：嗚嗚嗚(貓頭鷹的叫聲)
04:35
SW: What about the other birds?
122
263000
2000
白小姐：對其他鳥打招呼吧。
04:37
E: Tweet, tweet, tweet.
123
265000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：啾啾啾(鳥叫)
04:38
SW: And the penguin?
124
266000
1000
白小姐：向企鵝打招呼吧。
04:39
E: Quack, quack, quack.
125
267000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：嘎嘎嘎嘎(企鵝叫)
04:40
SW: There we go.
126
268000
1000
白小姐：不錯，叫得好。
04:41
(Laughter)
127
269000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
04:42
Let's get that one out of there. How about a chimpanzee?
128
270000
2000
我們在動物園中選一種動物吧，對猩猩打個招呼吧?
04:44
E: Ooh, ooh, ooh. Aah, aah, aah.
129
272000
2000
愛鸚斯坦：(猩猩叫聲)
04:46
SW: Very good.
130
274000
1000
白小姐：非常好。
04:47
(Laughter)
131
275000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
04:48
What about a wolf?
132
276000
1000
對狼打招呼呢？
04:49
E: Ooooowww.
133
277000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(狼叫聲)
04:50
SW: And a pig?
134
278000
1000
白小姐：對豬呢？
04:51
E: Oink, oink, oink.
135
279000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(豬叫聲)
04:52
SW: And the rooster?
136
280000
1000
白小姐：對公雞？
04:53
E: Cock-a-doodle-doo!
137
281000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(公雞叫)
04:54
SW: And how about those cats?
138
282000
2000
白小姐：對貓兒們呢？
04:56
E: Meow.
139
284000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：喵 (貓叫)
04:57
(Laughter)
140
285000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
04:58
SW: At the zoo we have big cats from the jungle.
141
286000
2000
白小姐：在動物園裏，我們還有從森林裏來的大貓呢！
05:00
E: Grrrrr.
142
288000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：(老虎低吟聲)
05:01
(Laughter)
143
289000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
05:02
SW: What about a skunk?
144
290000
2000
白小姐：跟臭鼬打個招呼吧
05:04
E: Stinker.
145
292000
1000
愛鸚斯坦：你好臭喔。
05:06
(Laughter)
146
294000
1000
(聽眾笑聲)
05:07
SW: She's a comedian. I suppose you think you're famous? Are you famous?
147
