So do you feel that motion?

所以大家感受到这旋律了吗？

Do you feel yourself as part of that motion,

感觉到作为旋律的一部分了吗？

things moving underneath the surface?

在表面下移动的旋律

So the language of musical harmony is an absolutely extraordinary one.

所以音乐协调的语言是非常特别的

It's a way of navigating one's emotional frameworks,

通过它可以畅游一个人的情绪空间

but without the need to put things into words,

而不需要任何言语上的表达

and I think that, as with many other languages,

我认为，就像其他语言一样

it doesn't matter how much you know about a language.

对一门语言了解多少无关紧要

It doesn't matter how many words you can say,

能够演讲多少单词

how many phrases you know.

多少语句都没有关系

What matters is the emotional choices you make with this language.

但最为重要的是在语言中情绪的选择

So I encourage us to embrace this idea as a community,

所以我建议大家作为一个群体来拥抱这种观点

which is the thing which in time may grow us towards

而这种观点也许

as opposed to away from our own humanity.

与我们的观点相背而行

Thank you so much.

非常感谢大家

(Applause)

（鼓掌）

(Music)

(Singing) Take me

Even when I close my eyes,

即便当我闭上双眼

Kelly Stoetzel: OK, Jacob. Wow.

Kelly Stoetzel：好的，Jacob 哇哦

OK, we have some questions. JC: OK.

我们呢有些问题想要问一下 JC：好的

KS: That was spectacular.

KS：这实在是太惊艳了

JC: Thank you, Kelly. Thank you.

JC：谢谢，Kelly 谢谢你

KS: Those visualizations we just saw,

KS：这些我们所见的

those were happening in real time, yeah?

是同步的，是吗？

JC: Yeah, so everything visual

JC：没错，可见的每一处都

takes cues from things which are audial, or something, if that's a word,

从听到的声音或者词汇中获取暗示而形成

and so everything is real time.

所以每一处都是同步的

I cue the loops, I play the instruments

我打开循环，演奏乐器

and then the tree, for example, that you saw grow,

然后出现了树，例如，你看到树的生长

grows in such a way that it takes low long notes

汲取低而长的音符，

and grows thick long branches,

从而生长粗壮幽长的树枝

and it takes high, quiet notes, whatever, and then it grows thin, small branches.

汲取高而短的音符，便生长纤细幼小的树枝

And then my singing voice

我歌唱的声音

sort of blows wind against the tree.

就像风一样吹拂过大树

KS: So you're 22 years old. JC: Yes, indeed.

KS：所以你今年22岁 JS：没错

Moderator: You played all of that by yourself.

主持人：你自己一个人演奏了所有

How did you get started and how did this all evolve?

你是怎样开始以及怎样爱上它的呢？

JC: I have this magical room in my house

JC：我在我的房子里搭建了这个魔幻之屋

in North London, which is, like, over there.

在伦敦的北边，额，就在那边

(Cheers)

（欢呼）

Thank you. Represent North London.

谢谢，代表北伦敦，谢谢大家

And this room -- I mean, this is my family home.

这魔幻之屋 -- 我是说，我家人的家园

I grew up in this room filled with musical instruments,

我生长在充满乐器的这间房间下

but most importantly, I had a family

但最重要的，

who encouraged me to invest in my own imagination,

我的家人对我的鼓励以及对我想象的支持

and so things I created, things I built were good things to be building

所以我所创作的，我所完成的都是很完美的

just because I was making them, and I think that's such an important idea.

因为我制作了它们，我认为它们很重要

But this room was my paradise, essentially,

从心底讲，这间房间就是我的天堂

and when I came to tour my album, which is called "In My Room,"

当我发行我的唱片《In My Room》

I thought I'd try and tour the room on the road,

我想我可以带着我的房间前往更多地方

and that's quite a strange idea,

这确实是个奇特的想法

but it's something that I've been working on for a couple of years,

但这也正是我这几年所做的事情

and it's quite exciting to be inside the circle.

沉迷于此同样也令我激动

KS: So this is really like the setup in your room, here.

KS：所以在这里的布局就像在你的房间里一样，是嘛？

JC: It kind of is. It's similar to the room

JC：可以这么说，和我的房间非常像

in the sense that I can generate things on the spot

这样我可以在合适的时间点

and I can be spontaneous,

创作出我要的东西，并自然的完成

which is what I think both music and all of the best ideas are all about.

既包括了完美的音乐也包括了完美的想法

KS: So you won two Grammys

KS：你曾赢得了两次格莱美奖

for a record that you made in your room by yourself.

并创造了个人完成唱片的记录

And how is that even possible? We couldn't have done that,

这怎么可能，我们都未曾想过

that couldn't have happened five years ago even.

这在五年前不可能发生的

JC: It's a brand new world.

JC：现在是一个全新的世界

The power is now in the hands of the creator,

大家一定会认可

as I'm sure you guys would agree,

制作权就掌握在创作者的手中

as opposed to the big record company executive

相比于大型唱片制作公司

or the big man or something like that.

或是名人一类的

It's somebody with a good idea.

只要你有好的想法

Here I am at TED saying this to you guys who know this already,

我现在站在TED的舞台上对你们大家说

but it's somebody with a good idea who can sow that seed.

只要你有好的想法，就能扎根发芽

That's the person who carries the torch into the world.

就可以把火炬传递到全世界

And yeah, I made this album completely on my own

没错，我自己一个人完成了这个唱片

and I didn't wait for somebody to say,

我也不会等着其他人说

"Hey Jacob, you should make an album on your own."

“嘿 Jacob，你应该自己去制作一个唱片”

I just went ahead and made it and I didn't mind what people thought,

我就是一直前行然后就做到了，我不在乎其他人会想什么

and two Grammys is a massive bonus.

不过格莱美奖对我来说确实是巨大的奖励

(Applause)

（鼓掌）

KS: Thank you so much, Jacob. JC: Thanks, Kelly. Thanks so much.

KS：非常感谢你，Jacob JC：谢谢，Kelly，非常感谢

(Applause)

（鼓掌）
