TED演讲:编织我的梦(6)

（单词翻译）

And then I had this little girl who came to me and took a bicycle lamp and she said,

然后，有个小女孩走向我，拿着一个自行车灯，说：

"This bicycle lamp, if it were a computer, it would change colors."

“这个自行车灯，如果是台电脑的话，它就会变色。”

And I said, "That's a really good idea, what else could it do?"

我说：“这想法好棒啊，那它还能做什么吗？”

And she thinks and she thinks, and she goes,

小女孩想了又想，她说：

"If this bicycle lamp were a computer, we could go on a biking trip with my father

“如果这个自行车灯是台电脑，我们就能和我爸爸一起去骑车旅行，

and we would sleep in a tent and this biking lamp could also be a movie projector¹."

在帐篷里睡觉，这个自行车灯也可以变成一个电影放映机。”

And that's the moment I'm looking for, the moment when the kid realizes that the world is definitely not ready yet,

这就是我想要的时刻，在这一时刻，孩子们意识到世界还远没有妥善到位，

that a really awesome² way of making the world more ready is by building technology and that each one of us can be a part of that change.

想要让世界变得更完善，有一个好方法就是开发科技，我们每个人都可能成为改变中的一部分。

Final story, we also built a computer.

最后，我们还造了一台电脑。

And we got to know the bossy³ CPU and the helpful RAM⁴ and ROM that help it remember things.

我们知道了发号司令的中央处理器和十分有用的随机存储器，以及帮助电脑记忆一切的只读存储器。

And after we've assembled our computer together, we also design an application for it.

之后，我们将电脑组装起来，为它设计了程序。

And my favorite story is this little boy, he's six years old and his favorite thing in the world is to be an astronaut.

我最喜欢的故事是这个小男孩，他六岁，在这世上最喜欢的事就是成为宇航员。

And the boy, he has these huge headphones on and he's completely immersed in his tiny paper computer

小男孩头戴大耳机，完全着迷于他那小小的纸质电脑，

because you see, he's built his own intergalactic planetary navigation application.

因为你看，他自己做了一个能穿越星球星际的导航程序。

And his father, the lone⁵ astronaut in the Martian orbit, is on the other side of the room

他的父亲，一名位于火星轨道的孤单的宇航员，就在房间的另一边，

and the boy's important mission is to bring the father safely back to earth.

男孩的重大使命便是将他爸爸安全带回地球。

And these kids are going to have a profoundly different view of the world and the way we build it with technology.

关于世界，以及我们如何用科技构建世界，这些孩子将建立一个完全不同的认知。
