Jill Shargaa: Please, please, people. Let's put the 'awe' back in 'awesome'

Prevodilac: Davor Altman Lektor: Mile Živković

How many times have you used the word "awesome" today?

Koliko ste puta danas iskoristili reč "strava"?

Once? Twice? Seventeen times?

Jednom, dvaput? 17 puta?

Do you remember what you were describing

Da li se sećate šta ste opisivali

when you used the word?

kad ste koristili ovu reč?

No, I didn't think so, because it's come down to this, people:

Ne, nisam ni mislila da se sećate, jer, ljudi, sve se svodi na ovo:

You're using the word incorrectly,

koristite ovu reč nepravilno

and tonight I hope to show you

i nadam se da ću večeras uspeti da vam pokažem

how to put the "awe" back in "awesome."

kako da vratite stravu u "strava".

Recently, I was dining at an outdoor cafe,

Nedavno sam večerala u jednom restoranu

and the server came up to our table,

i posluga je prišla nasem stolu i pitala

and asked us if we had dined there before,

da li smo i ranije večerali na tom mestu,

and I said, "Yes, yes, we have."

a ja sam rekla: "Da, da, jesmo."

And she said, "Awesome."

A ona je odgovorila: "Strava."

And I thought, "Really?

Pomislila sam: "Stvarno?"

Awesome or just merely good

Strava je ili jednostavno samo dobro

that we decided to visit your restaurant again?"

što smo odlučili da opet posetimo vaš restoran?"

The other day, one of my coworkers asked me

Pre neki dan, jedan od mojih saradnika me je pitao

if I could save that file as a PDF,

da li mogu da sačuvam neki fajl u PDF formatu,

and I said, "Well, of course," and he said, "Awesome."

ja sam rekla: "Pa, naravno", a on je odgovorio: "Strava."

Seriously, can saving anything as a PDF

Sad ozbiljno, da li čuvanje bilo čega u PDF formatu

be awesome?

može biti strava?

Sadly, the frequent overuse of the word "awesome"

Nažalost, često prekomerno korišćenje reči "strava"

has now replaced words like "great" and "thank you."

je sada zamenilo reči poput "odlično" i "hvala".

So Webster's dictionary defines the word "awesome"

Vebsterov rečnik definiše reč "strava"

as fear mingled with admiration or reverence,

kao strah pomešan sa osećanjem divljenja ili poštovanja,

a feeling produced by something majestic.

kao osećaj prouzrokovan nečim veličanstvenim.

Now, with that in mind,

Sada, s tim u vidu,

was your Quiznos sandwich awesome?

da li je vaš tost sendvič bio strava?

How about that parking space? Was that awesome?

Šta je sa parking mestima? Da li su i ona strava?

Or that game the other day? Was that awesome?

Ili ona utakmica od pre neki dan? Je li i ona bila strava?

The answer is no, no and no.

Odgovor je ne, ne i ne.

A sandwich can be delicious,

Sendvič može biti ukusan,

that parking space can be nearby,

to parking mesto može biti blizu,

and that game can be a blowout,

a jedan tim može da pregazi drugi,

but not everything can be awesome.

ali ne može sve biti strava.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So when you use the word "awesome"

Tako da kada koristite reč "strava"

to describe the most mundane of things,

da biste opisali obične svakodnevne stvari,

you're taking away the very power of the word.

oduzimate joj njenu suštinsku moć.

This author says, "Snowy days

Ovaj autor kaže: "Snežni dani su strava,

or finding money in your pants is awesome."

ili nalaženje novca u pantalonama."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Um, no, it is not,

Hm, ne, nije, i moramo da otežamo stvari

and we need to raise the bar for this poor schmuck. (Laughter)

ovom budalastom autoru. (Smeh)

So in other words, if you have everything, you value nothing.

Drugim rečima, ako imate sve, ne cenite ništa.

It's a lot like drinking from a firehose

To je kao kad pijete vodu iz vatrogasnog creva

like this jackass right here.

kao ovaj glupan ovde.

There's no dynamic, there's no highs or lows,

Nema dinamičnosti, nema euforije ili depresije,

if everything is awesome.

ako je sve strava.

Ladies and gentlemen, here are 10 things

Dame i gospodo, pogledajte 10 stvari

that are truly awesome.

koje su zaista strava.

Imagine, if you will, having to schlep

Ako želite, zamislite da morate da teglite

everything on your back.

sve na svojim leđima.

Wouldn't this be easier for me

Zar mi ne bi bilo lakše

if I could roll this home?

kad bih mogla da otkotrljam ovo do kuće?

Yes, so I think I'll invent the wheel.

Da, tako da mislim da ću izmisliti točak.

The wheel, ladies and gentlemen.

Točak, dame i gospodo.

Is the wheel awesome? Say it with me.

Da li je točak strava? Kažite zajedno sa mnom.

Yes, the wheel is awesome!

Da, točak je strava.

The Great Pyramids were the tallest

Velike piramide su bile najviše

man-made structure in the world

građevine na svetu

for 4,000 years.

koje je čovek stvorio za 4 000 godina.

Pharaoh had his slaves move millions of blocks

Faraon je naredio svojim robovima da pomere milione kamenih blokova

just to this site to erect a big freaking headstone.

do ovog mesta da bi podigli veliki kamen temeljac.

Were the Great Pyramids awesome?

Da li su velike piramide strava?

Yes, the pyramids were awesome.

Da, strava su.

The Grand Canyon. Come on.

Veliki kanjon. Ma, hajde.

It's almost 80 million years old.

Star je skoro 80 miliona godina.

Is the Grand Canyon awesome?

Da li je Veliki kanjon strava?

Yes, the Grand Canyon is.

Da, jeste.

Louis Daguerre invented photography in 1829,

Luis Dager je izumeo fotografiju 1829. godine,

and earlier today,

a ranije danas,

when you whipped out your smartphone

kad ste izvukli svoj pametni telefon

and you took a shot of your awesome sandwich,

i uslikali svoj strava sendvič,

and you know who you are —

a vi ste se prepoznali -

(Laughter) —

(Smeh)

wasn't that easier than exposing the image

zar to nije bilo lakše nego da ste izložili tu sliku

to copper plates coated with iodized silver?

na bakarne ploče obložene jonizovanim srebrom?

I mean, come on. Is photography awesome?

Mislim, ma hajde. Zar fotografija nije strava?

Yes, photography is awesome.

Da, fotografija je strava.

D-Day, June 6, 1944,

Dan D, 6. jun 1944. godina,

the Allied invasion of Normandy,

iskrcavanje saveznika u Normandiju,

the largest amphibious invasion in world history.

najveća desantna invazija u istoriji sveta.

Was D-Day awesome? Yes, it was awesome.

Da li je Dan D bio strava? Da, bio je strava.

Did you eat food today? Did you eat?

Da li ste jeli danas? Jeste li?

Then you can thank the honeybee, that's the one,

Onda možete da zahvalite pčeli radilici, to je ta,

because if crops aren't pollinated, we can't grow food,

jer ako usevi nisu oprašeni, ne možemo da uzgajamo hranu,

and then we're all going to die.

a tada ćemo svi umreti.

It's just like that.

Jednostavno je tako.

But it's not like a flower can just get up

Ali nije kao da cvet može samo da ustane

and have sex with another flower,

i da spava sa drugim cvetom,

although that would be awesome.

iako bi to bilo strava.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Bees are awesome. Are you kidding me?

Pčele su strava. Jel me zafrkavate?

Landing on the moon! Come on!

Sletanje na mesec! Ma hajde!

Apollo 11. Are you kidding me?

Apolo 11. Jel me zafrkavate?

Sixty-six years after the Wright Brothers

66 godina pošto su braća Rajt

took off from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,

pošla iz Kiti Hoka iz Severne Karoline,

Neil Armstrong was 240,000 miles away.

Nil Armstrong je bio udaljen 380 000 kilometara.

That's like from here to the moon.

To je kao odavde pa do meseca.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

That's one small step for a man,

To je mali korak za čoveka,

one giant leap for awesome!

a džinovski skok za strava!

You're damn right, it was.

Prokleto je bilo tako.

Woodstock, 1969: Rolling Stone Magazine said

Vudstok festival, 1969. - magazin Rolingston je izjavio

this changed the history of rock and roll.

da je to promenilo istoriju rokenrol muzike.

Tickets were only 24 dollars back then.

Karte su tada bile samo 24 dolara.

You can't even buy a freaking t-shirt for that now.

Za taj novac, danas ne možete da kupite ni običnu majicu.

Jimi Hendrix's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner"

Izvedba američke himne Džimija Hendriksa

was the most iconic.

bila je najlegendarnija.

Was Woodstock awesome? Yes, it was awesome.

Da li je Vudstok bio strava? Da, bio je strava.

Sharks! They're at the top of the food chain.

Ajkule! One su na vrhu lanca ishrane.

Sharks have multiple rows of teeth

Ajkule imaju višestruke redove zuba

that grow in their jaw

koji rastu u njihovoj vilici

and they move forward like a conveyor belt.

i kreću se ka napred kao pokretne trake.

Some sharks can lose 30,000 teeth in their lifetime.

Neke ajkule za života mogu da izgube i do 30.000 zuba.

Does awesome inspire fear?

Da li strava prouzrokuje strah?

Oh, hell yeah, sharks are awesome!

Prokleto da, ajkule su strava!

The Internet was born in 1982

Internet je rođen 1982. godine

and it instantly took over global communication,

i u trenutku je preuzeo globalnu komunikaciju,

and later tonight, when all these PowerPoints

a kasnije večeras, kada se sve ove prezentacije

are uplifted to the Internet

okače na internet

so that a guy in Siberia can get drunk

kako bi tip u Sibiru mogao da se napije

and watch this crap,

i gleda ovu budalaštinu,

the Internet is awesome.

Internet je strava.

And finally, finally some of you can't wait

I najzad, najzad, neki od vas ne mogu da dočekaju

to come up and tell me how awesome my PowerPoint was.

da mi se jave i kažu kako je moja prezentacija bila strava.

I will save you the time.

Uštedeću vam vreme.

It was not awesome, but it was true,

Nije bila strava, ali je bila istinita,

and I hope it was entertaining,

i nadam se da je bila zabavna,

and out of all the audiences I've ever had,

i od sve publike koju sam ikada imala,

y'all are the most recent. Thank you and good night.

vi ste najnovija. Hvala vam i laku noć.

(Applause)
