juggling:v.玩杂耍;尽力同时应付;有效利用;(juggle的现在分词) golfer:n.高尔夫球手;
And as a golfer, and as a kid one of the things that really sort of seeped into my pores , that I sort of lived my whole life, is process . 作为一个高尔夫球手,作为一个孩子 所有让我痴迷的事物中 那些伴随我一生的事物中,有一样是 过程 。

stuff:n.东西:物品:基本特征:v.填满:装满:标本:
And that was the mythology of skill. 那就是技巧的神话。
So one of the things that I love to do is to explore skill. 所以在我所喜欢做的事情里面,有一项就是摸索技巧。

And since Richard put me on this whole thing with music, 自从Richard让我跟着音乐一起玩杂耍

But I'm going to explore skill, and juggling, and basically visual music, I guess. 但是我将给大探索一下技巧,杂耍, 以及,我想,大概可被称作是可视化音乐的东西
basically:adv.主要地,基本上; visual:adj.视觉的,视力的;栩栩如生的;
OK, you can start the music, thanks. 好了,你可以开始播放那音乐了,谢谢。

And you can turn the mike on now, I'm going to do a couple of pieces. 你现在可以把话筒打开了,我要做几段表演。
I do a big piece in a triangle and these are three sections from it. 用三角形内表演一个长段。 这是其中三部分
triangle:n.三角形;三角形物体;三角铁(打击乐器);三角关系;
Part of the challenge was to try to understand rhythm and space using not just my hands -- because a lot of juggling is hand-oriented -- but using the rhythm of my body and feet, and controlling the balls with my feet. 难题的一部分是要不仅用双手 更要利用身体与双脚的节奏弄清楚节奏和空间—— 因为很多杂耍都是以手为中心 然后用我的双脚控制这些球

And so what I'd like to do is try to figure out how to join with the space through the technique . 所以我所想要做的是试着去弄清楚 怎么通过技巧与空间结合起来。
technique:n.技巧,技术;手法;
So juggling gravity -- up, down. 然后耍弄重力——上,下。
If you figure out what up and down really are, it's a complex physical set of skills to be able to throw a ball down and up and everything, but then you add in sideways . 如果你明白了“上”与“下”真正是什么, 那么你就知道能够将一个球扔下抛上或者怎么着, 是一系列复杂的物理技巧。 然后你还可以加上侧边的动作。

Now, I look at it somewhat as a way -- when you learn juggling what you learn is how to feel with your eyes, and see with your hands because you're not looking at your hands, you're looking at where the balls are or you're looking at the audience. 现在,我有几分把它看作一种方法——当你学习杂耍的时候 你要学习的事怎么用你的眼睛去感受,用你的双手去观察 因为你并不是在看着你的双手, 你所看的是球在哪里,或者是观众。

But you're boxed in if you can only do it up and down that way. 但如果你只能上下上下的话那么你就是将自己闲置起来了。
So you've got to go after the space down there. 所以你必须在空间上有所追求。
OK, then you've got to combine them because then you have the whole spatial palette in front of you. 好了,之后你得把它们组合起来 因为你前面有一整个宽敞的舞台。

And then you get crazy. 然后你就疯起来了。

Now, I'm actually going to ask you to try something so you've got to pay attention. Complexity, if you spend enough time doing something time slows down or your skill increases, so your perceptions change. 现在,我得让你尝试一些东西 好让你必须集中你的注意力——复合, 如果你花足够时间做某件事情的话,那么时间会减慢, 或者你的技巧提升了,所以你的感知会发生变化。
