Talking and squawking | Einstein the parrot and Stephanie White

Traducător: Cristina Târşoagă Corector: Brandusa Gheorghe

Stephanie White: I'm going to let her introduce herself to everybody.

Stephanie White: O voi lăsa să se prezinte singură.

Can you tell everybody your name?

Spune-le numele tău?

Einstein: Einstein.

Einstein: Einstein.

SW: This is Einstein. Can you tell everyone "hi"?

SW: Aceasta e Einstein. Poți să îi saluți pe toți?

E: Hello.

E: Salut.

SW: That's nice. Can you be polite?

SW: Ce draguț. Poți fi politicoasă?

E: Hi, sweetheart.

E: Bună, dragă.

SW: Much better.

SW: Mult mai bine. Einstein e foarte onorată să fie aici la TED 2006,

Well, Einstein is very honored to be here at TED 2006,

amongst all you modern-day Einsteins.

între voi, Einsteini ai timpurilor moderne.

In fact, she's very excited.

De fapt, ea e foarte entuziasmată.

E: Woo.

E: Woo.

SW: Yeah.

SW: Da.

(Laughter)

(Rîsete)

Since we've arrived, there's been a constant buzz

De cand am ajuns, a fost o agitatie continua

about all the exciting speakers here for the conference.

toti vorbitorii interesanti prezenti la aceasta conferinta.

This morning we've heard a lot of whispers about Tom O'Reilly's wrap-up on Saturday.

In aceasta dimineata toata lumea soptea despre

concluziile lui Tom Reilly de duminica. Einstein, tu ai auzit soapte?

Einstein, did you hear whispers?

E: [Squawks]

E: [Chitaie]

SW: Yeah.

SW: Da.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Einstein's especially interested in Penelope's talk.

Einstein este interesata in mod special de discursul lui Penelope.

Mare parte a cercetarii ei are loc in pesteri, unde poate fi destul de mult praf.

A lot of her research goes on in case, which can get pretty dusty.

E: Hapciu!

E: Achoo!

SW: It could make her sneeze.

SW: Asta ar putea s-o faca sa stranute. Dar mai important e faptul ca cercetarea ei

But more importantly, her research could help Einstein

ar putea sa o ajute pe Einstein sa gaseasca un leac pentru gatul ei iritat.

find a cure for her never-ending scratchy throat.

Einstein: [Coughs]

Einstein: [Tuseste]

SW: Yeah.

SW: Da.

(Laughter)

Well, Bob Russell was telling us about his work on nanotubes

(Rasete)

Ei bine, Bob Russell ne povestea despre cercetarile sale cu privire la nanotuburi

in his research at the microscopic level.

in cercetarile sale la nivel microscopic.

Asta este destul de important, insa ce si-ar fi dorit Einstein cu adevarat

Well, that's really cool, but what Einstein's really hoping

is that maybe he'll genetically engineer a five-pound peanut.

este ca poate el va crea o aluna modificata genetic de 2 kg.

E: Oh, my God! My God! My God!

E: Oh, Doamne! Doamne! Doamne!

SW: Yeah. She would get really, really excited.

SW: Da. Ar fi foarte, foarte entuziasmata.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

That is one big peanut.

Aia chiar este o aluna mare. Dat fiind ca Einstein e o pasare,

Since Einstein is a bird,

she's very interested in things that fly.

ea este foarte interesata de lucruri care zboara.

She thinks Burt Rutan is very impressive.

E de parere ca Burt Rutan este foarte impresionant.

E: Ooh.

E: Ooh.

SW: Yeah. She especially likes his latest achievement, SpaceShipOne.

SW: Da. Ea e foarte incantata in mod deosebit de ultima lui realizare, SpaceShipOne.

Einstein, would you like to ride in Burt's spaceship?

Einstein, ti-ar placea sa calatoresti pe nava spatiala a lui Burt?

E: [Spaceship noise]

E: [Sunetul navei spatiale]

SW: Even if it doesn't have a laser?

SW: Chiar daca nu are laser?

E: [Sunet de laser]

E: [Laser noise]

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: Da, da. Asta a fost amuzant, Einstein.

SW: Yeah, yeah. That was pretty funny, Einstein.

Now, Einstein also thinks, you know,

Acum, Einstein crede si ca, stiti, sa lucrezi in pesteri

working in caves and travelling through space --

si sa calatoresti prin spatiu -- sunt treburi foarte periculoase.

it's all very dangerous jobs.

It would be very dangerous if you fell down.

Ar fi foarte periculos daca am cadea.

E: Wheeeeeee! [Splat]

E: Wheeeeee! Buf.

SW: Yeah.

SW: Da.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Little splat at the end there. Einstein, did that hurt?

Cu un mic 'buf' la sfarsit. Einstein, a durut?

E: Au, au, au.

E: Ow, ow, ow.

SW: Yeah. It's all a lot of hard work.

SW: Da. E multa munca.

E: [Squawks]

E: [Chitaie]

SW: Yeah. It can get a bird like Einstein frustrated.

SW: Da. Asta ar putea fi frustrant pentru o pasare ca Einstein.

E: [Squawks]

E: [Chitaie]

SW: Yeah, it sure can.

SW: Da, cu siguranta. Dar cand Einstein simte nevoia sa se deconecteze de munca sa

But when Einstein needs to relax from her job educating the public

educand publicul, se refugiaza in arta.

she loves to take in the arts.

If the children of the Uganda need another dance partner,

Daca copiii din Uganda au nevoie de un nou partener de dans,

Einstein could sure fit the bill, because she loves to dance.

Einstein ar fi cu siguranta potrivita, pentru ca iubeste sa danseze.

Poti sa dansezi?

Can you get down?

E: [Bobbing head] (Laughter)

E: [Dand din cap] (Rasete)

SW: Let's get down for everybody. Come on now.

Hai sa dansam pentru toata lumea. Haide.

She's going to make me do it, too. Ooh, ooh.

O sa ma forteze si pe mine s-o fac. Oo, Oo.

Einstein: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Einstein: Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo.

SW: Do your head now.

SW: Da din cap acum.

E: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

E: Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: Or maybe Sirena Huang would like to learn some arias on her violin,

SW: Sau poate Sirenei Huang i-ar placea sa invete niste arii noi

la vioara si Einstein o poate acompania cantand opera?

and Einstein can sing along with some opera?

E: [Operatic squawk]

E: [Sunet de opera]

SW: Very good.

SW: Foarte bine.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Or maybe Stu just needs another backup singer?

Sau poate Stu are nevoie de un alt solist de rezerva?

Einstein, can you also sing?

Einstein, poti sa si canti?

I know, you need to get rid of that seed first. Can you sing?

Stiu, trebuie sa scapi de samanta aia intai. Poti sa canti?

E: La, la.

E: La, la.

SW: There you go.

SW: Asa. Si bineinteles, daca totul esueaza,

And, of course, if all else fails,

she can just run off and enjoy a fun fiesta.

poti evada pentru a te bucura de o petrecere [fiesta].

E: [Squawks]

E: [Chitaie]

SW: All right.

SW: In regula. Ei bine, Einstein era destul de jenata sa recunoasca asta mai devreme,

Well, Einstein was pretty embarrassed to admit this earlier,

dar imi spunea in culise ca are o problema.

but she was telling me backstage that she had a problem.

E: Ce s-a intamplat?

E: What's the matter?

SW: No, I don't have a problem. You have the problem, remember?

SW: Nu, eu nu am o problema. Tu ai o problema, iti amintesti?

You were saying that you were really embarrassed,

Spuneai ca iti e foarte rusine

because you're in love with a pirate?

pentru ca te-ai indragostit de un pirat?

E: Yar.

E: Yar.

SW: There we go. And what do pirates like to drink?

SW: Asa. Si ce le place piratilor sa bea?

E: Beer.

E: Bere.

SW: Yeah, that's right.

SW: Da, ai dreptate. Dar tie nu-ti place sa bei bere, Einstein?

But you don't like to drink beer, Einstein.

You like to drink water.

Tie iti place sa bei apa.

E: [Water sound]

E: [Sunetul apei curgand]

SW: Very good. Now, really, she is pretty nervous.

SW: Foarte bine. Acum, serios, ea e foarte emotionata.

Because one of her favorite folks from back home is here,

Pentru ca unul dintre oamenii preferati de la ea de acasa este aici,

and she's pretty nervous to meet him.

si e destul de emotionata sa-l cunoasca.

She thinks Al Gore is a really good-looking man.

Ea e de parere ca Al Gore este un barbat foarte chipes.

Ce-i spui unui barbat chipes?

What do you say to a good-looking man?

E: Hey, baby.

E: Buna, scumpule.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: And so do all the folks back home in Tennessee.

SW: Si la fel toti oamenii de acasa, din Tennessee.

E: Yee haw.

E: Iii, haa.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: And since she's such a big fan,

SW: Si de vreme ce este un fan atat de infocat,

she knows that his birthday is coming up at the end of March.

stie ca ziua lui de nastere se apropie, la sfarsitul lui martie.

And we didn't think he'd be in town then,

Si nu credem ca va mai fi aici atunci,

so Einstein wanted to do something special for him.

asa ca Einstein a vrut sa-i faca o surpriza.

So let's see if Einstein will sing "Happy Birthday" to Al Gore.

Sa vedem daca Einstein ii va canta "La multi ani!" lui Al Gore.

Can you sing "Happy Birthday" to him?

Poti sa ii canti "La multi ani!"?

E: Happy birthday to you.

E: La multi ani.

SW: Again.

SW: Din nou.

E: Happy birthday to you.

E: La multi ani.

SW: Again.

SW: Din nou.

E: Happy birthday to you.

E: La multi ani.

SW: Big finish.

SW: Final grandios.

E: Happy birthday to you.

E: La multi ani.

SW: Good job!

SW: Bravo.

(Applause)

(Aplauze)

Well, before we wrap it up, she would like to give a shout out

Ei bine, inainte de a incheia, Einstein ar vrea sa isi salute

to all our animal friends back at the Knoxville Zoo.

toate animalele prietene de acasa de la gradina zoologica Knoxville.

Einstein, do you want to say "hi" to all the owls?

Einstein, vrei sa saluti toate bufnitele?

E: Woo, woo, woo.

E: Bu-hu-hu.

SW: What about the other birds?

SW: Dar celelalte pasari?

E: Tweet, tweet, tweet.

E: Cip-cirip, cip-cirip.

SW: And the penguin?

SW: Si pinguinii?

E: Quack, quack, quack.

SW: There we go.

E: Quack, quack, quack.

SW: Asa.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Let's get that one out of there. How about a chimpanzee?

Sa o aruncam pe aia. Dar un cimpanzeu?

E: Ooh, ooh, ooh. Aah, aah, aah.

E: Oo, Oo, Oo, Aa, Aa, Aa.

SW: Very good.

SW: Foarte bine.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

What about a wolf?

Dar un lup?

E: Ooooowww.

SW: And a pig?

E: Aaaauuuu.

E: Oink, oink, oink.

SW: Si un porc?

E: Groh, groh, groh.

SW: And the rooster?

SW: Si un cocos?

E: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

E: Cu-cu-ri-guu!

SW: And how about those cats?

SW: Si pisicile alea?

E: Meow.

E: Miau.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: At the zoo we have big cats from the jungle.

SW: La zoo avem pisici mari din jungla.

E: Grrrrr.

E: Grrrr.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: Dar un sconcs?

SW: What about a skunk?

E: Stinker.

E: Mirositor.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

SW: She's a comedian. I suppose you think you're famous? Are you famous?

SW: E si comediant. Presupun ca te crezi faimoasa? Este faimoasa?

E: Superstar.

E: Superstar.

SW: Yeah. You are a superstar.

SW: Da. Esti un superstar.

(Laughter)

(Rasete)

Well, we would like to encourage all of you

Ei bine, am vrea sa va incurajam pe toti sa va faceti datoria

to do your part to help protect Einstein's animal friends,

de a ajuta la protejarea animalelor prietene ale lui Einstein, si sa luati parte

and to do your part to help protect their homes that they live [in].

la protejarea locurilor in care traiesc.

Now, Einstein does say it best when we ask her.

Acum, Einstein o spune cel mai bine daca e s-o intrebam pe ea.

Why do we want to protect your home?

De ce ar trebui sa vrem sa iti protejam casa?

E: I'm special.

E: Sunt speciala.

SW: You are very special.

SW: Esti foarte speciala. Ce-ai vrea sa le spui

What would you like to say to all these nice people?

tuturor acestor oameni simpatici?

E: I love you.

E: Va iubesc.

SW: Foarte bine. Poti sa le trimiti un pupic?

SW: That's good. Can you blow them a kiss?

E: [Kissing noise]

E: [Sunet de sarut]

SW: And what do you say when it's time to go?

SW: Si ce spui cand este timpul sa plecam?

E: Goodbye.

E: La revedere.

SW: Good job. Thank you all.

SW: Bravo. Va multumim tuturor.

(Applause)
