Hey guys. [00:12]
It's funny, someone just mentioned MacGyver, because that was, like, I loved it, and when I was seven, I taped a fork to a drill and I was like, "Hey, Mom, I'm going to Olive Garden." [00:14]
Olive:n.橄榄;橄榄树;橄榄色;adj.橄榄的;橄榄色的;
And -- (Drilling noise) (Laughter) [00:25]
And it worked really well there. [00:29]
And you know, it had a profound effect on me. [00:32]
profound:adj.深厚的;意义深远的;渊博的;
It sounds silly, but I thought, okay, the way the world works can be changed, and it can be changed by me in these small ways. [00:36]
And my relationship to especially human-made objects which someone else said they work like this, well, I can say they work a different way, a little bit. [00:43]
especially:adv.尤其;特别;格外;十分;
And so, about 20 years later, [00:52]
I didn't realize the full effect of this, but I went to Costa Rica and I stayed with these Guaymí natives there, and they could pull leaves off of trees and make shingles out of them, and they could make beds out of trees, and they could -- I watched this woman for three days. [00:54]

And I'm like, "Wow, that's really amazing. [03:09]
He doesn't know, but he can show you." [03:10]
