| Last year we did a dance in zero gravity , and once we set up an obstacle course out of thousands of musical instruments in the desert, and then played them by stunt driving a car through them. |

作为一名青少年, 在房间里无非是跟人煲电话粥, 而且煲很长很长时间。 |
|
staggering:adj.惊人的; v.蹒跚; (stagger的现在分词)

|
poster:n.海报;巨幅装饰画;发布消息的人; thumb:v.翻阅;以拇指拨弄;作搭车手势;笨拙地摆弄;n.拇指;

| And it's not uncommon that we are out at dinner, and in the middle of a great conversation she'll just stop mid-sentence, and when she stops is when I realize that I'm the one who's acting weird because I'm like bobbing and weaving . |
我们经常出去吃饭, 正聊得热火朝天的时候,她突然就安静了, 而当她停下来的时候,我就会 意识到我肯定又干了什么奇怪的事情, 因为发现我整个身体正在不安分地扭动。 |

| And what I'm trying to do is get that ficus back there to stick out of her head like a ponytail . |

|
ficus:n.热带榕属植物;[植]无花果属; ponytail:n.马尾辫;
|
| (Laughter) |
（笑声） |
| The point of telling you all this is that — for me this is what it feels like to have an idea. |
我告诉大家这些的原因是—— 对我来说,这就是找到新点子的感觉。 |
| It's like they're made of these disparate parts, these disparate chunks sort of floating out there. |
它就好像是由零碎的部件组成, 而这些零碎部件很随机地浮现在周围。 |
|
disparate:adj.不同的;不相干的;全异的;n.无法相比的东西; chunks:n.厚块;大块;相当大的量;组块;(chunk的复数)

| And if you're receptive and you're observant , and crucially , if you're in exactly the right place, you can get them to just line up. |

|
| So if you get used to — if it's your job to think of ideas this way, they'll start beckoning to you the way that Jimi's eyes beckoned from that poster, or the ficus beckons from behind Kristin's head. |
所以,如果你习惯于—— 如果你在工作中 运用这样的思考模式的话, 那么这些点子就会召唤你, 就像来自海报上吉米的眼睛的召唤, 或者是克莉丝汀脑后 探出的榕树的召唤。 |
|
get used to:开始习惯于 beckoning:adj.引诱人的;令人心动的;v.招手(beckon的现在分词); beckoned:vt.召唤;吸引;vi.吸引;(招手或点头)示意;n.表召唤的点头;手势; beckons:v.招手示意;吸引;诱惑;很可能发生(或出现);(beckon的第三人称单数)
|
| Writing music feels like that process just over and over again , like you've got a bunch of sounds or a groove or a chord progression and you're just looking for that thing on the other side , that little chunk over there,that puzzle piece that clicks right in. |
写歌就像是不停地重复这个过程, 就像是你得到了一系列声音, 一段节奏或者一个和弦, 而你还需要寻找另一样东西, 寻找另外一小块恰恰般配的拼图。 |

当拼图刚好合上的时候, 那种感觉并非是你“想出”了那块拼图, 而是感觉你“找到”它了, 就好像解锁了一组联系物。 |
| But with the videos in particular , we're usually looking for this specific feeling which is wonder. |
但是对于那些 MV 的制作, 我们常常在寻找一种特别的感觉, 这种感觉叫做“神奇”。 |
|
in particular:尤其,特别; specific:adj.特殊的,特定的;明确的;详细的;[药]具有特效的;n.特性;细节;特效药;
|
| And there's always a component of surprise to wonder, so we're not just looking for good ideas, we're looking for good ideas that surprise us in some way. |
这种“神奇”中往往带有惊喜的成分, 所以我们不仅是在寻找好点子, 我们找的好点子需要 以某种方式让我们感到惊喜。 |
|
component:n.成分;部件;组成部分;adj.构成的;
|
| And this causes something of a problem, because ... |
于是问题就来了, 因为…… |
| the process that we all use to make stuff , it actually has a very strong bias against surprising ideas. |

| The process I'm talking about is the one you all know — we all do it all the time. |
我现在所讲的过程 其实大家都很熟悉—— 我们每时每刻都在用。 |
| You think of an idea. |
你想到了一个点子。 |
| You just sit and think of your brilliant idea and then you come up with a plan for how you're going to make that idea happen. |
然后你就坐在那儿 思考着这个绝佳的点子, 接着你制定了一个计划, 来实现这个想法。 |
| And then with that plan in mind, you go back and double-check your original idea and maybe revise it, and then bouncing back and forth between the idea and the plan, the plan and the idea, eventually you come up with a truly great plan. |
然后在你的脑海里 你不断来回思考你的初始想法, 或许会加以修正, 接着继续来回思考你的想法和计划, 徘徊其中, 直到你终于想出了一个极好的计划。 |

| And then once you have that, and only then,do you go out and you execute . |

|
execute:vt.实行;执行;处死;
|
| this is sort of a flawless system in terms of maximizing your resources , because this — super cheap. |

|
| Thinking usually costs very little, but this is really expensive most of the time, so by the time you get there, you want to make sure you're super prepared and you can squeeze every last drop out of what you've got. |
思考常常花费甚少, 但实施过程往往是十分昂贵的, 所以开始行动前, 你要确定你真的准备妥当了, 并且能把你的想法都 毫无遗留地榨取出来。 |
|
squeeze:v.挤;紧握;勒索;压榨;n.压榨;紧握;拥挤;佣金;

|
reveal:v.显示;透露;揭露;泄露;n.揭露;暴露;门侧,窗侧;
|
| Go back to that video that we just showed you. |
让我们回到刚才展示的 MV。 |

那个戈德堡机械, 它大概有130个互动关节, |
|
interactions:n.[计]交互,相互作用;相互交流;干扰;(interaction复数)
|
| That was 130 things that we had to have go according to our plan. |
也就是说按照计划 我们需要这130个东西正常运作。 |
|
according to:根据,据说;
|
| So let's assume that we want to make a new video now, similarly complex — 130 moving parts. |
那么假设我们现在想录一段新的 MV, 跟之前同样复杂——有130个活动部件。 |
|
assume:v.承担;假定;采取;呈现; similarly:adv.同样地;类似于; complex:adj.复杂的;合成的;n.复合体;综合设施;
|
| If we're really good planners in that system, it seems like maybe we could be good enough to get every part of that system to be 90 percent reliable . |
如果我们制订了相当好的计划, 那么我们也许能够达到 这个系统每个部件90%的可靠性。 |
|
planners:n.规划师;规划人员(planner的复数);计划人员; reliable:adj.可信赖的;可依靠的;真实可信的;可靠的;
|
| 90 percent sounds good, right? |
90%听起来还不错吧？ |
| Well, it's not. |
然而并非如此。 |
| It's terrible actually. |
它其实烂透了。 |
| The numbers say so. |
数据是这么显示的。 |
| The chance of getting all 130 things to not fail at the same time is .9 for 90 percent to the 130th power. |
在同一时间所有130个部件不失败的几率, 是0.9的130次方, |
|
at the same time:同时;另一方面;与此同时;
|
| So calculate that out and you get ... |
所以计算结果出来了: |
| (Ding) |
（叮） |
| .000001, which is one ten-thousandth of one percent, so your chance for success is literally one in a million. |
0.000001, 也就是1%的万分之一, 也就是说,成功几率是百万分之一。 |
|
literally:adv.按字面:字面上:确实地:
|
| (Whistle) |
（哨声） |
| (Laughter) |
（笑声） |
| I mean that's not a gamble I want to take, so let's ratchet up that reliability to 99 percent. |
这样的赌局我是一定不会参加的, 那我们试试看提高 这个可靠性,提到99%。 |
|
gamble:vi.赌博; vt.赌博; n.赌博; ratchet:n.棘轮;棘齿;vt.安装棘轮于;松脱; reliability:n.可靠性;
|
| .99 to the 130th power is ... |
0.99的130次方等于: |
| (Ding) |
（叮） |
| Significantly less daunting — like this might even be usable. |
明显没那么吓人了—— 看上去好像行得通。 |
|
Significantly:adv.意味深长地;值得注目地; daunting:adj.令人生畏的:令人胆怯的:v.使胆怯:使失去信心;(daunt的现在分词)
|
| But really think about that. |
但你仔细想想。 |
| How many parts of your lives are 99 percent reliable? |
你生活中有多少事情是99%可靠的呢？ |
| And could you really get 130 of them all in one place at once? |
你真的能让130个部件 都在同一时间成功吗？ |
| And if you really could, doesn't it seem like you deserve to succeed? |
而如果你确实做到了, 你难道不觉得成功也是应该的吗？ |
|
deserve:vi.应受,应得;
|
| that thing is going to work, right? |
它必须得成功的,对吧？ |
| But no, it actually fails three times more often than it succeeds. |
但并没有,它失败的次数 其实是成功次数的三倍。 |
| So the upshot of all this is that if your project is pretty complex — like, you know,every ambitious project is — if you've got a lot of moving parts, you're basically constrained to just reshuffling ideas that have already demonstrably proven that they're 100 percent reliable. |
所以我想说的是, 如果你的项目比较复杂—— 你懂的,所有伟大的项目都很复杂, 如果有许多活动部件, 你能做的可能只是把 现成的,已经被证明 100%可靠的那些点子 翻来覆去地推敲。 |
|
upshot:n.结果,结局;要点; ambitious:adj.野心勃勃的;有雄心的;热望的;炫耀的; basically:adv.主要地,基本上; constrained:adj.不自然的; v.约束; (constrain的过去分词和过去式) reshuffling:v.改组(reshuffle的ing形式);资金转手; demonstrably:adv.可论证地;明确地;
|
| So now go back to me sitting with my thumb in the air trying to line up something surprising. |
那么让我们回到之前的场景, 我举起大拇指 尝试组成某个神奇的东西。 |
| If the only things I'm allowed to consider in the first place are ideas that have already been done over and over and over again, |
如果我唯一所能考虑的 仅仅是那些被翻来覆去 用烂掉的点子的话, |
|
in the first place:首先;起初;
|
| I am screwed . |
我就完蛋了。 |
|
screwed:v.用螺丝固定;旋紧;拧紧;拧上去;(screw的过去分词和过去式)
|
| However, there are ways around this, because we all know that there are tons of untried ideas still out there, and plenty of them will turn out to be every bit as reliable as we need, it's just that we don't yet know they are reliable when we are at this planning phase . |
幸好还是有办法的, 因为我们都知道,还有那么多点子 仍未被尝试、未被发掘, 而其中不少点子也会如 我们所需要的一样可靠, 只是在做计划的这个阶段, 我们还不知道它们很可靠而已。 |
|
untried:adj.未经实验的;未经审讯的;未经检查的; phase:n.阶段;时期;月相;(月亮的)盈亏;v.分阶段进行;逐步做;
|
| So what we do is we try to identify some place where there might just be a ton of those untried ideas. |
那么我们需要做的就是, 找到这个可能有许多 未被尝试的点子的地方。 |
|
identify:v.识别:鉴定:确认:发现:
|
| We try to find a sandbox and then we gamble a whole bunch of our resources on getting in that sandbox and playing. |
我们去找到这样一个沙盘, 然后我们赌上一大堆资源, 把我们扔进沙盘里各种折腾。 |
|
sandbox:n.沙箱;沙盒;
|
| (Laughter) |
（笑声） |
| Because we have to trust that it's the process in the sandbox that will reveal to us which ideas are not only surprising, but surprisingly reliable. |
因为我们必须坚信 这个折腾沙盘的过程 能够告诉我们 哪些点子不但非常惊人, 而且也出乎意料地可靠。 |
|
surprisingly:adv.令人惊讶地;出乎意料地
|
| So some of the sandboxes that we've started videos with. |
这是我们最早开始 做 MV 时的一些沙盘演练。 |
|
sandboxes:n.沙箱;沙盒;
|
| Let's play with optical illusions . |
来倒腾视觉错觉效果吧。 |
|
optical:adj.光学的;眼睛的,视觉的; illusions:n.幻想;错觉;幻觉;幻影(illusion的复数)
|
| Let's try to dance on moving surfaces. |

来试试用激光切割机烤面包呗。 |
|
toast:n.干杯; v.为…干杯; cutter:n.刀具,切割机;切割者;裁剪者;

| Or let's do something in one of those zero-gravity airplanes . |
或者在零重力飞机里倒腾点什么呗。 |
|
zero-gravity:[物]失重; airplanes:n.(美)[航]飞机(airplane的复数);
|
| But then instead of actually trying to sit there and think out what that something is, we spent a full third of our budget getting in an actual Vomit Comet and bouncing off the walls for a week. |
当然我们不是坐在那儿发呆, 苦思冥想着到底要倒腾些什么, 而是花了整整三分之一的预算, 跑进一架“呕吐彗星” （减重力飞机）里, 疯狂弹跳了一个礼拜。 |
|
think out:解决;仔细考虑;发现; budget:n.预算,预算费;v.安排,预定;把…编入预算;adj.廉价的; Vomit:n.呕吐物;v.呕吐;吐;呕; Comet:n.[天]彗星;
|
| So this may seem to you like testing, but it really isn't, because at this point we don't yet know what our idea is, we don't have a plan to be testing. |
在你们看来,这像是某种测试, 但真的不是。 因为这时候我们甚至不知道点子在哪里, 我们并没有任何要测试的计划。 |
| we're just playing, we're just trying everything we can think of, because we need to get this idea space filled up with a chaos like the one in my high school bedroom. |
我们只是在玩, 在尝试我们能想到的所有, 因为我们要让思维的空间 堆满乱七八糟的东西, 就像我高中时期的卧室一样。 |
|
chaos:n.混沌,混乱;
|
| Because then, if we can do the bob and weave thing, if we can put our thumbs up and get just a few things to line up — |
因为只有这样,如果我们做那种 上下左右挪动的动作, 然后当我们竖起大拇指,让这些东西对齐—— |
|
weave:v.编,织;(用…)编成;编造(故事等);n.织法;编法;编织式样; thumbs:n.拇指;;v.翘起拇指请求搭乘便车;用拇指摸;(thumb的第三人称单数和复数)

| (Ding) |
（叮） |
| chances are no one else has ever made those same things line up before. |
