Joe Smith: How to use a paper towel

Prevoditelj: Ivan Stamenković Recezent: Suzana Baric

Five hundred seventy-one million

259 milijuna

two hundred thirty thousand pounds of paper towels

650 tisuća kilograma papirnatih ručnika

are used by Americans

Amerikanci potroše

every year.

svake godine.

If we could -- correction, wrong figure --

Kad bismo mogli -- ispravak, krivi broj --

13 billion used every year.

5.9 milijardi potrošeno je svake godine.

If we could reduce the usage of paper towels,

Kad bismo mogli smanjiti uporabu papirnatih ručnika

one paper towel per person per day,

na jedan papirnati ručnik po osobi na dan,

571,230,000 pounds of paper not used.

259 650 000 kilograma papira ne bi se potrošilo.

We can do that.

Mi to možemo.

Now there are all kinds of paper towel dispensers.

Postoji mnogo vrsta aparata za papirnate ručnike.

There's the tri-fold. People typically take two or three.

Postoji troslojni. Ljudi obično uzimaju dva ili tri.

There's the one that cuts it, that you have to tear off.

Postoji onaj koji ga odreže, koji morate otrgnuti.

People go one, two, three, four, tear.

Ljudi uzmu jedan, dva, tri, četiri,otrgnu.

This much, right?

Ovoliko, zar ne?

There's the one that cuts itself.

Postoji onaj koji se sam odreže.

People go, one, two, three, four.

Ljudi uzmu jedan, dva, tri, četiri.

Or there's the same thing, but recycled paper,

Ili, ista stvar, ali od recikliranog papira.

you have to get five of those because they're not as absorbent, of course.

Morate ih uzeti pet, jer ne upijaju tako dobro, naravno.

The fact is, you can do it all with one towel.

A zapravo možete sve to napraviti i s jednim ručnikom.

The key, two words:

Ključne su dvije riječi:

This half of the room, your word is "shake."

Ova polovica prostorije, vaša riječ je "otresi".

Let's hear it. Shake. Louder.

Da čujemo. Otresi. Glasnije.

Audience: Shake.

Publika: Otresi.

Joe Smith: Your word is "fold."

Joe Smith: Vaša riječ je "presavij".

Audience: Fold.

Publika: Presavij.

JS: Again.

Audience: Fold. JS: Really loud.

JS: Opet.

Publika: Presavij. JS: Zbilja glasno.

Audience: Shake. Fold.

Publika: Otresi. Presavij.

JS: OK. Wet hands.

JS: U redu. Mokre ruke.

Shake -- one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

Otresi -- jedan, dva, tri, četiri, pet, šest, sedam, osam, devet, deset, jedanaest, dvanaest.

Why 12? Twelve apostles, twelve tribes,

Zašto 12? Dvanaest apostola, dvanaest plemena,

twelve zodiac signs, twelve months. The one I like the best:

dvanaest horoskopskih znakova, dvanaest mjeseci. Ono što mi se najviše sviđa:

It's the biggest number with one syllable.

to je najveći jednosložni broj (na engleskom).

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Tri-fold. Fold ...

Troslojni. Presavij...

Dry.

Suho.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Audience: Shake.

Publika: Otresi.

Fold.

Presavij.

JS: Cuts itself. Fold. The fold is important

JS: Odreže se sam. Presavij. Presavijanje je važno

because it allows interstitial suspension.

jer dozvoljava međuprostornu suspenziju.

You don't have to remember that part, but trust me.

Ne morate to upamtiti, ali vjerujte mi.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Audience: Shake. Fold.

Publika: Otresi. Presavij.

JS: Cuts itself.

JS: Odreže se sam.

You know the funny thing is,

Zanimljivo je

I get my hands drier than people do with three or four,

da su moje ruke suše nego kod ljudi koji koriste tri ili četiri ručnika,

because they can't get in between the cracks.

jer ne mogu doći između pukotina.

If you think this isn't as good...

Ako mislite da ovo nije tako dobro...

Audience: Shake. Fold.

Publika: Otresi. Presavij.

JS: Now, there's now a real fancy invention,

JS: Sad postoji stvarno napredan izum,

it's the one where you wave your hand

to je onaj aparat koji izbaci ručnik

and it kicks it out.

kad mahnete rukom.

It's way too big a towel.

To je zbilja prevelik ručnik.

Let me tell you a secret.

Otkrit ću vam tajnu.

If you're really quick, if you're really quick --

Ako ste stvarno brzi --

and I can prove this --

mogu to dokazati --

this is half a towel from the dispenser in this building.

ovo je pola ručnika iz aparata u ovoj zgradi.

How? As soon as it starts, you just tear it off.

Kako? Čim krene, samo ga otrgnete.

It's smart enough to stop.

Dovoljno je pametan da stane.

And you get half a towel.

I dobijete pola ručnika.

Audience: Shake. Fold.

Publika: Otresi. Presavij.

JS: Now, let's all say it together. Shake. Fold.

JS: Recimo to svi zajedno. Otresi. Presavij.

You will for the rest of your life remember those words

Pamtit ćete ove riječi do kraja života

every time you pick up a paper towel.

svaki put kad uzmete papirnati ručnik.

And remember, one towel per person for one year --

I upamtite, jedan ručnik po osobi za jednu godinu --

571,230,000 pounds of paper. No small thing.

259 650 000 kilograma papira. Nije to mala stvar.

And next year, toilet paper.

A sljedeće godine, toaletni papir.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)
