Hajde da pričamo o manijama.
Počnimo sa manijom za Bitlsima.
00:23
Let's start with Beatlemania.
1
23021
1958
00:25
(Recording of crowd roaring)
2
25003
2176
Histerični tinejdžeri,
00:27
Hysterical teenagers,
3
27203
2103
00:29
crying, screaming, pandemonium.
4
29330
3171
plakanje, vrištanje, urnebes.
00:32
(Recording of crowd roaring)
5
32525
3269
Manija za sportovima.
00:35
Sports mania:
6
35818
1488
00:37
deafening crowds,
7
37330
2976
Zaglušujuća buka mase.
00:40
all for one idea -- get the ball in the net.
8
40330
4271
Sve radi jedne ideje. Smestiti loptu u mrežu.
00:44
(Recording) Goal!
9
44625
1681
00:46
Okay, religious mania:
10
46330
1976
Okej, manija za religijom.
00:48
there's rapture, there's weeping,
11
48330
2976
Imamo ushićenje. Imamo jecanje.
00:51
there's visions.
12
51330
1976
Imamo vizije.
00:53
Manias can be good.
13
53330
1984
Manije mogu biti dobre.
00:55
Manias can be alarming.
14
55338
1976
Manije mogu biti uznemirujuće.
Manije mogu biti i smrtonosne.
00:58
Or manias can be deadly.

01:04
The world has a new mania.
17
64330
1976
Svet je dobio novu maniju.
01:06
A mania for learning English.
18
66330
1976
Maniju za učenjem engleskog jezika.
01:08
Listen as Chinese students practice their English,
19
68962
3518
Poslušajte kako kineski učenici vežbaju svoj izgovor engleskog
01:12
by screaming it:
20
72504
1802
tako što ga uzvikuju.
01:14
Teacher: ... change my life!
21
74330
2096
Učitelj: ...promeniti svoj život!
01:16
Students: I want to change my life!
22
76450
2411
Učenici: Ja ću promeniti svoj život.
01:18
T: I don't want to let my parents down!
23
78885
3063
Učitelj: Ne želim da izneverim svoje roditelje.
01:21
S: I don't want to let my parents down!
24
81972
3334
Učenici: Ne želim da izneverim svoje roditelje.
01:25
T: I don't ever want to let my country down!
25
85330
3344
Učitelj: Ne želim da izneverim svoju zemlju.
01:28
S: I don't ever want to let my country down!
26
88698
3608
Učenici: Ne želim da izneverim svoju zemlju.
01:32
T: Most importantly... S: Most importantly...
27
92330
3539
Učitelj: Najbitnije... Učenici: Najbitnije...
01:35
T: I don't want to let myself down!
28
95893
2684
Učitelj: Ne želim da izneverim sebe.
01:38
S: I don't want to let myself down!
29
98601
2705
Učenici: Ne želim da izneverim sebe.
01:41
How many people are trying to learn English worldwide?
30
101330
3143
Džej Voker: Koliko ljudi na svetu uči engleski jezik?
01:44
Two billion of them.
31
104497
2499
Dve milijarde.
Učenici: Majica. Haljina.
01:47
Students: A t-shirt. A dress.
32
107020
3286
Džej Voker: U Latinoamerici,
01:51
Jay Walker: In Latin America,
33
111157
1619
01:52
in India,
34
112800
1650
u Indiji, u jugoistočnoj Aziji,
01:54
in Southeast Asia,
35
114474
1627
i ponajviše u Kini.
01:56
and most of all, in China.
36
116125
2046
01:58
If you're a Chinese student,
37
118901
1405
Da ste kineski učenik
02:00
you start learning English in the third grade, by law.
38
120330
4650
po zakonu biste počeli učenje engleskog u trećem razredu.
02:05
That's why this year,
39
125774
1746
Zbog toga će ove godine
02:07
China will become the world's largest English-speaking country.
40
127544
4762
Kina postati zemlja sa najviše govornika engleskog jezika na svetu.
02:12
(Laughter)
41
132613
1923
(Smeh)
02:14
Why English?
42
134560
1318
Zbog čega baš engleski jezik? Jednom rečju - prilika.
02:15
In a single word: opportunity.
43
135902
2165
Prilika za bolji život, posao,
02:18
Opportunity for a better life, a job,
44
138091
2802
02:20
to be able to pay for school, or put better food on the table.
45
140917
3389
biti u stanju da platite školovanje, ili da se hranite kvalitetnije.
02:24
Imagine a student taking a giant test for three full days.
46
144330
4539
Zamislite učenicu koja polaže obiman test tri puna dana.
02:28
Her score on this one test literally determines her future.
47
148893
4453
Njen rezultat na tom jednom testu
bukvalno određuje njenu budućnost.
02:33
She studies 12 hours a day
48
153370
2484
Ona uči 12 sati dnevno
02:35
for three years to prepare.
49
155878
2351
pune tri godine kao pripremu za njega.
02:38
Twenty-five percent of her grade is based on English.
50
158642
4555
25% ocene
se bazira ne znanju engleskog jezika.
02:43
It's called the gaokao, and 80 million high school Chinese students
51
163594
4691
Ime testa je "Gaokao" i 80 miliona kineskih srednjoškolaca
je već polagalo ovaj iscrpljujući test.
02:48
have already taken this grueling test.
52
168309
2372
02:50
The intensity to learn English
53
170705
2269
Snagu volje koja ide uz učenje engleskog
02:52
is almost unimaginable, unless you witness it.
54
172998
3927
je gotovo nemoguće zamisliti. Osim ako ste prisustvovali času.
02:56
Teacher: Perfect! Students: Perfect!
55
176949
1787
Učitelj: Perfektan! Učenici: Perfektan!
02:58
T: Perfect! S: Perfect!
56
178760
2546
Učitelj: Perfektan! Učenici: Perfektan!
03:01
T: I want to speak perfect English!
57
181330
2420
Učitelj: Želim da govorim perfektan engleski.
03:03
S: I want to speak perfect English!
58
183774
2297
Učenici: Želim da govorim perfektan engleski.
03:06
T: I want to speak ... S: I want to speak ...
59
186095
2283
Učitelj: Želim da govorim... Učenici: Želim da govorim...
03:08
T: ... perfect English! S: ... perfect English!
60
188402
2746
Učitelj: perfektan engleski. Učenici: perfektan engleski.
Učitelj: Želim da promenim svoj život!
03:11
T (yelling more loudly): I want to change my life!
61
191172
3134
03:14
S (yelling more loudly): I want to change my life!
62
194330
3952
Učenici: Želim da promenim svoj život!
Džej Voker: Dakle, da li je manija za engleskim dobra ili loša?
03:18
JW: So is English mania good or bad?
63
198306
3000
03:21
Is English a tsunami, washing away other languages?
64
201330
4309
Da li engleski jezik predstavlja cunami koji će "sprati"
ostale jezike? Malo verovatno.
03:25
Not likely.
65
205663
1222
03:26
English is the world's second language.
66
206909
2222
Engleski je drugi jezik sveta.
03:29
Your native language is your life.
67
209830
2071
Vaš maternji jezik je vaš život.
03:31
But with English you can become part of a wider conversation --
68
211925
3936
Ali sa znanjem engleskog možete postati deo šire komunikacije.
03:35
a global conversation about global problems,
69
215885
3706
Globalni razgovor o globalnim problemima,
03:39
like climate change or poverty,
70
219615
2691
kao što su klimatske promene ili siromaštvo,
03:42
or hunger or disease.
71
222330
2976
ili glad ili bolesti.
03:45
The world has other universal languages.
72
225330
3475
Svet ima i druge univerzalne jezike.
03:48
Mathematics is the language of science.
73
228829
2477
Matematika je jezik prirodnih nauka.
03:51
Music is the language of emotions.
74
231885
2421
Muzika je jezik emocija.
03:54
And now English is becoming the language of problem-solving.
75
234901
4405
A sada engleski postaje jezik rešavanja problema.
03:59
Not because America is pushing it,
76
239330
2214
Ne zato što ga Amerika "gura",
04:01
but because the world is pulling it.
77
241568
2738
već zato što ga ostatak sveta "vuče".
Manija za engleskim je prelomna tačka,
04:05
So English mania is a turning point.
78
245195
2774
04:08
Like the harnessing of electricity in our cities,
79
248453
2548
kao svojevremeno početak korišćenja elektriciteta u gradovima
ili pad Berlinskog zida.
04:11
or the fall of the Berlin Wall,
80
251025
2281
04:13
English represents hope
81
253330
2362
Engleski jezik predstavlja nadu
04:15
for a better future --
82
255716
1590
u bolje sutra.
04:17
a future where the world has a common language
83
257330
3976
Budućnost u kojoj svet ima zajednički jezik
04:21
to solve its common problems.
84
261330
2648
kojim rešava svakodnevne probleme.
Hvala vam puno.
04:24
Thank you very much.
85
264368
