Growing up in Taiwan

Tayvanda

as the daughter of a calligrapher,

kalligrafning qizi bo'lib o'smoq,

one of my most treasured memories

hayotimdagi eng yorqin xotira

was my mother showing me the beauty, the shape

Xitoy iyerogliflarining shakli va ko'rinishining

and the form of Chinese characters.

naqadar go'zal ekanligini ko'rsatayotgan oyim edi.

Ever since then, I was fascinated

Shu lahzadan boshlab men bu ajoyib tilga

by this incredible language.

ko'ngil qo'ygan edim.

But to an outsider, it seems to be

Lekin chetdagi inson uchun bu til

as impenetrable as the Great Wall of China.

Buyuk Xitoy devori kabi egallab bo'lmaydigandek ko'rinadi.

Over the past few years, I've been wondering

Oxirgi yillarda meni bitta savol qiziqtirayapti -

if I can break down this wall,

agar men bu devorni buza olsam,

so anyone who wants to understand and appreciate

boshqalar ham, bu tilning go'zalligini tushunishni,

the beauty of this sophisticated language could do so.

ko'rishni xohlovchilar bu ishni osonlik bilan qila olishlari uchun.

I started thinking about how a new, fast method

Men Xitoy tilini o'rganishda yangi va tezkor uslub

of learning Chinese might be useful.

hozirda juda kerakli bo'lishini o'ylab qoldim.

Since the age of five, I started to learn how to draw

5 yoshimdan men har bir iyeroglifning har bir chizig'ini,

every single stroke for each character

ketma-ketlikda,

in the correct sequence.

chizishni o'rgana boshladim.

I learned new characters every day

Men yangi iyerogliflarni keyingi 15 yil

during the course of the next 15 years.

davomida har kuni o'rgandim.

Since we only have five minutes,

Bizda atigi 5 daqiqa bo'lgani uchun,

it's better that we have a fast and simpler way.

yaxshisi oddiy va tez usulni qo'llaymiz.

A Chinese scholar would understand 20,000 characters.

Xitoydaik olim 20 mingta iyeroglifni tushunadi.

You only need 1,000 to understand the basic literacy.

Siz tilni tushuna olishingiz uchun mingta bilishingiz kerak bo'ladi.

The top 200 will allow you to comprehend

Asosiy 200 ta iyeroglif 40% manbalarni

40 percent of basic literature --

tushunishingizda yordam beradi, bu sizga

enough to read road signs, restaurant menus,

yo'l belgilari, restoran menyulari, veb-sahifalarning

to understand the basic idea of the web pages

asosiy mazmunini yoki gazetalarni tushunishingiz uchun

or the newspapers.

yetarlidir.

Today I'm going to start with eight

Bugun men 8 ta iyeroglifdan boshlayman,

to show you how the method works.

bu uslub qanday ishlashini ko'rsataman.

You are ready?

Tayyormisiz?

Open your mouth as wide as possible

Og'zingizni iloji boricha katta oching,

until it's square.

kvadrat formasiga kirguniga qadar.

You get a mouth.

Bu og'iz.

This is a person going for a walk.

Bu sayrga chiqqan odam.

Person.

Inson.

If the shape of the fire is a person

Agar olov shaklida insonni tasavvur qilsak,

with two arms on both sides,

ikki tarafida qo'llari bilan,

as if she was yelling frantically,

bu xuddi "Yordam bering, yonayapman!" deb

"Help! I'm on fire!" --

qichqirayotgan ayolga o'xshab qoladi.

This symbol actually is originally from the shape of the flame,

Bu belgi olov shaklidan kelib chiqqan,

but I like to think that way. Whichever works for you.

lekin menga buni boshqacha tasavvur qilish yoqadi.

This is a tree.

Bu daraxt.

Tree.

Daraxt.

This is a mountain.

Bu tog'.

The sun.

Quyosh.

The moon.

Oy.

The symbol of the door

Eshik belgisi shunday ko'rinishga ega,

looks like a pair of saloon doors in the wild west.

yovvoyi g'arb barlarning eshiklariga o'xshaydi.

I call these eight characters radicals.

Men bu 8 ta iyeroglifni "radikallar" deb atayman.

They are the building blocks

Ular xuddi qurilish bloklariga

for you to create lots more characters.

o'xshaydi, har biridan turli xil iyerogliflar yasash mumkin.

A person.

Odam.

If someone walks behind, that is "to follow."

Agar kimdir orqasidan kelayotgan bo'lsa, bu "ergashmoq", "ketidan yurmoq" degani.

As the old saying goes,

Eski bir maqolda aytilganidek,

two is company, three is a crowd.

"ikkita odam — sherikchilik, uchta — olomon".

If a person stretched their arms wide,

Agar odam qo'llarini har tomonga yoysa,

this person is saying, "It was this big."

u: "bu shunday katta edi" deyayotgan bo'ladi.

The person inside the mouth, the person is trapped.

Agar odam og'iz ichida bo'lsa — u tuzoqda.

He's a prisoner, just like Jonah inside the whale.

U xuddi kit ichidagi Yunus singari mahbus.

One tree is a tree. Two trees together, we have the woods.

Bitta daraxt — oddiy daraxt. Ikkita daraxt — bir guruh daraxt.

Three trees together, we create the forest.

Uchta daraxt, bu endi o'rmon.

Put a plank underneath the tree, we have the foundation.

Daraxtni tagiga taxtani qo'yamiz va fundament kelib chiqadi.

Put a mouth on the top of the tree, that's "idiot." (Laughter)

Agar daraxtning yuqoriga og'izni qo'ysak, "ahmoq" paydo bo'ladi. (Kulgu)

Easy to remember,

Buni eslab qolish oson,

since a talking tree is pretty idiotic.

chunki gapiruvchi daraxt chindan ham ahmoqona ko'rinadi.

Remember fire?

Olov esingizdami?

Two fires together, I get really hot.

Ikkita olov birgalikda — juda issiq.

Three fires together, that's a lot of flames.

Uchta olov — juda katta olov.

Set the fire underneath the two trees, it's burning.

Olovni ikkita eshikni tagiga joylashtiring — bu yong'in.

For us, the sun is the source of prosperity.

Biz uchun quyosh — farovonlik manbai.

Two suns together, prosperous.

Ikkita quyosh — rivojlanayotgan degani.

Three together, that's sparkles.

Uchtasi birgalikda — bu uchqunlar.

Put the sun and the moon shining together,

Agar quyosh va oyni birlashtirsak —

it's brightness.

bu yorug'lik.

It also means tomorrow, after a day and a night.

Yana bu ertaga, kun va tundan keyin degan ma'noni ham beradi.

The sun is coming up above the horizon. Sunrise.

Quyosh ufqdan tepaga ko'tariladi. Quyosh chiqishi.

A door. Put a plank inside the door,

Eshik. Taxtani eshikni ichiga joylashtiring —

it's a door bolt.

bu eshik murvati.

Put a mouth inside the door, asking questions.

Eshik ichiga "og'iz"ni joylashtiring — bu savol bermoq degani.

Knock knock. Is anyone home?

Tuk-tuk. Uyda kimdir bormi?

This person is sneaking out of a door,

Bu odam uydan darrov qochib ketadi,

escaping, evading.

yo'q bo'lib qoladi.

On the left, we have a woman.

Chapda — "ayol" iyeroglifi.

Two women together, they have an argument.

Ikkita ayol — "bahs" kelib chiqadi.

(Laughter)

(Kulgu)

Three women together, be careful, it's adultery.

Uchta ayol — ehtiyot bo'ling, bu xiyonat.

So we have gone through almost 30 characters.

Biz deyarli 30 ta iyeroglif o'rgandik.

By using this method, the first eight radicals

Dastlabki 8 ta radikallarni qo'llash usuli orqali

will allow you to build 32.

32 ta iyeroglif yasash mumkin.

The next group of eight characters

Keyingi 8 ta iyerogliflar guruhi ham

will build an extra 32.

bizga yana 32 tasini yasashga yordam beradi.

So with very little effort,

Shunday oson usul bilan siz

you will be able to learn a couple hundred characters,

bir necha yuz iyeroglif o'rganishingiz mumkin —

which is the same as a Chinese eight-year-old.

8 yoshli xitoylik deyarli shuncha iyeroglif biladi.

So after we know the characters, we start building phrases.

Iyerogliflarni o'rganganimizdan so'ng biz gaplar tuzishni boshlaymiz.

For example, the mountain and the fire together,

Masalan, tog' va olov bizgalikda —

we have fire mountain. It's a volcano.

yonayotgan tog', vulqon ma'nosini beradi.

We know Japan is the land of the rising sun.

Biz bilamizki, Yaponiya — kunchiqar mamlakat.

This is a sun placed with the origin,

Bu yerda manba yonida quyosh turibdi,

because Japan lies to the east of China.

chunki Yaponiya Xitoyga nisbatan sharqda joylashgan.

So a sun, origin together, we build Japan.

Quyosh va manba — bu Yaponiya.

A person behind Japan, what do we get?

Agar Yaponiya yonida odamni qo'ysak, nima kelib chiqadi?

A Japanese person.

Yapon (yaponiyalik).

The character on the left is two mountains

Chapdagi iyeroglif — ikkita tog',

stacked on top of each other.

ustma-ust joylashgan.

In ancient China, that means in exile,

Qadimgi Xitoyda bu surgunni anglatgan,

because Chinese emperors, they put their political enemies

chunki Xitoy imperatorlari o'zining siyosiy

in exile beyond mountains.

dushmanlarini surgun qilib aynan tog'ga yuborgan.

Nowadays, exile has turned into getting out.

Hozirgi paytda "surgun"ning ma'nosi "ketish"ga aylangan.

A mouth which tells you where to get out

Sizga qayerga chiqishni ko'rsatayotgan og'iz,

is an exit.

"chiqish" degani.

This is a slide to remind me that I should stop talking

Bu slayd menga ushbu chiqishimni yakunlashimni va

and get off of the stage. Thank you.

sahnadan ketishimni eslatmoqda. Rahmat.

(Applause)

(Qarsaklar)
