翻译人员: Shang Sinian 校对人员: Li Sinn

I am no designer, nope, no way.

我并不是一个设计师，完全不是。

My dad was,

我父亲曾经是，

which is kind of an interesting way to grow up.

这使我的成长非常富有趣味。

I had to figure out what it is my dad did

所以我得弄明白我父亲的工作是什么，

and why it was important.

以及为什么它如此重要。

Dad talked a lot about bad design when we were growing up,

父亲在我们童年时经常批评差的设计，

you know, "Bad design is just people not thinking, John," he would say

比如，他说：“约翰，差的设计是人们没有慎重思考的结果，

whenever a kid would be injured by a rotary lawn mower

无论是导致儿童被旋转的割草机弄伤，

or, say, a typewriter ribbon would get tangled

或者打字机纸带被缠绕住，

or an eggbeater would get jammed in the kitchen.

或者厨房的打蛋器堵塞。

You know, "Design -- bad design, there's just no excuse for it.

你懂的，你不能为差的设计找借口。

It's letting stuff happen without thinking about it.

这是轻率地放任事情发生的后果。

Every object should be about something, John.

所有物品都必须有意义，约翰。

It should imagine a user.

它必须以用户的角度为出发点。

It should cast that user in a story starring the user and the object.

它必须反映出，在以用户和物品为中心的故事中，用户的核心地位。

Good design," my dad said, "is about supplying intent."

好的设计，”我父亲说过，“要能够实现其存在的意义。”

That's what he said.

这是他的原话。

Dad helped design the control panels for the IBM 360 computer.

我父亲参与设计了IBM360大型计算机的控制面板。

That was a big deal; that was important. He worked for Kodak for a while; that was important.

那是个大工程，且意义非凡。他为柯达工作过一段，那也很重要。

He designed chairs and desks and other office equipment for Steelcase; that was important.

他设计了Steelcase公司的桌椅和一系列办公用品；这也很有意义。

I knew design was important in my house because, for heaven's sake, it put food on our table, right?

我认为设计对我的家非常重要，因为，上帝啊，有了它我们才能把食物拿上桌子，不是吗？

And design was in everything my dad did.

而设计就是我父亲工作的全部。

He had a Dixieland jazz band when we were growing up,

我们童年时，父亲有一支迪克西兰爵士乐队，

and he would always cover Louis Armstrong tunes.

他可以随时演奏路易斯.阿姆斯克朗的音乐。

And I would ask him every once in a while,

我时不时会问他，

"Dad, do you want it to sound like the record?"

“爸爸，你希望它听起来和唱片里一样吗？”

We had lots of old jazz records lying around the house.

我们的房子里到处躺满了爵士乐的老唱片。

And he said, "No, never, John, never.

但他说，“不，永远不，约翰，永远不。

The song is just a given, that's how you have to think about it.

每首歌都只是授予我们的材料，这是你看待它的正确方式。

You gotta make it your own. You gotta design it.

你要把它变成你自己的。你要设计它。

Show everyone what you intend," is what he said.

把你赋予它的意义展示给大家看。”这是他说的。

"Doing that, acting by design, is what we all should be doing.

“设计，就是我们实现它的方式。

It's where we all belong."

设计就是我们的最终答案。”

All of us? Designers?

我们都是？都是设计师？

Oh, oh, Dad. Oh, Dad.

噢，噢，爸爸，噢，爸爸。

The song is just a given.

音乐是赋予的。

It's how you cover it that matters.

如何去改变它才是重点。

Well, let's hold on to that thought for just a minute.

好，让我们停在这一会儿。

It's kind of like this wheelchair I'm in, right?

这就像我坐的轮椅，对么？

The original tune? It's a little scary.

原本的故事？有点恐怖。

"Ooh, what happened to that dude?

“噢，你看那个伙计怎么了？

He can't walk. Anybody know the story?

他不能走路。有谁知道这个故事？

Anybody?"

谁知道？”

I don't like to talk about this very much, but I'll tell you guys the story today.

我不是很喜欢谈论这件事，但是今天我想把这个告诉你。

All right, exactly 36 years ago this week, that's right,

好吧，确切的说是36年前的这个星期，好吧，

I was in a poorly designed automobile

我在一个设计很糟糕的车子里

that hit a poorly designed guardrail

撞上了一个同样设计糟糕的护栏

on a poorly designed road in Pennsylvania,

位于一个设计糟糕的路，在宾夕法尼亚，

and plummeted down a 200-foot embankment

从一个200英尺高的路堤上径直跌下去

and killed two people in the car.

两个人当场死在了车里。

But ever since then, the wheelchair has been a given in my life.

从那以后，轮椅就成了我生活中的一部分。

My life, at the mercy of good design and bad design.

我的生活中，有幸遇到好的设计和糟糕的设计。

Think about it. Now, in design terms,

想想这个，用设计的语言来讲，

a wheelchair is a very difficult object.

轮椅是一个非常困难的事物。

It mostly projects tragedy and fear and misfortune,

它通常被赋予害怕与不幸，

and it projects that message, that story, so strongly

这个寄托的信息，这个故事，是如此的强烈

that it almost blots out anything else.

仿佛吸干了一切。

I roll swiftly through an airport, right?

我在机场快速的滚动（轮椅），好？

And moms grab their kids out of the way and say, "Don't stare!"

母亲们从路上抓住他们的孩子并说道“别盯着看！”

The poor kid, you know, has this terrified look on his face, God knows what they think.

那个可怜的孩子，你知道，充满恐惧的看着他的脸，上帝知道他们是怎么想的。

And for decades, I'm going,

几十年了，我一直想，

why does this happen? What can I do about it? How can I change this? I mean there must be something.

为什么会发生这个？我又对此能做些什么？我能改变什么？我想这一定意味着什么。

So I would roll, I'd make no eye contact -- just kinda frown, right?

我滚动着，躲开视线的接触——就像一种皱眉，对么？

Or I'd dress up really, really sharply or something.

或者精心打扮整齐

Or I'd make eye contact with everyone --

或者，我和每一个人目光接触

that was really creepy; that didn't work at all.

这真是诡异；这一点也不管用

(Laughter)

（笑声）

You know anything, I'd try. I wouldn't shower for a week -- nothing worked.

你知道所有这些，我都试过了。我一周没洗澡——一点不管用。

Nothing whatsoever worked until a few years ago,

无论什么都不管用直到几年以后，

my six-year-old daughters were looking at this wheelchair catalog that I had, and they said,

我六岁的女儿们看着这个轮椅的目录，她们说道，

"Oh, Dad! Dad! Look, you gotta get these, these flashy wheels -- you gotta get 'em!"

“噢，爸爸！爸爸！看啊，你一定要买这种闪光轮子的轮椅”

And I said, "Oh, girls, Dad is a very important journalist,

我说道，“噢，孩子们，爸爸是个很重要的记者，

that just wouldn't do at all."

这跟我身份不符。”

And of course, they immediately concluded,

当然，她们立刻推断，

"Oh, what a bummer, Dad. Journalists aren't allowed to have flashy wheels.

“噢，好可惜，爸爸。记者不允许有闪光轮子。

I mean, how important could you be then?" they said.

我的意思是，你是有都重要才能拥有它们？“她们问道。

I went, "Wait a minute, all right, right -- I'll get the wheels." Purely out of protest,

为了反驳她们我说：“等等，好啦，我会买这种”

I got the flashy wheels, and I installed them and --

我买了这台轮椅，装上发光轮子

check this out. Could I have my special light cue please?

我能让灯光暗下来吗？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Look at that!

你看！

Now ... look at, look at this! Look at this!

现在，你看！你看！

So what you are looking at here

你眼前看的

has completely changed my life,

完全改变了我的生活，

I mean totally changed my life.

我的意思是彻底改变我的生活

Instead of blank stares and awkwardness,

我以前面对的是呆滞的眼神和尴尬，

now it is pointing and smiling!

现在它们在指指点点和微笑

People going, "Awesome wheels, dude! Those are awesome!

人们说道，“真了不起的轮子，伙计！真了不起！

I mean, I want some of those wheels!" Little kids say,

我的意思是，我想要这样的轮子！“小孩子说道，

"Can I have a ride?"

”我能骑一下么？“

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And of course there's the occasional person --

当然偶尔会有一些人——

usually a middle-aged male who will say,

一般是中年男性会说到，

"Oh, those wheels are great!

”噢，这些轮子太棒了！

I guess they're for safety, right?"

我猜这样为了更安全，对吧？”

(Laughter)

（笑声）

No! They're not for safety.

不！它们不是为了安全。

No, no, no, no, no.

不，不，不，不 ，不。

What's the difference here,

这就是不同的地方，

the wheelchair with no lights

没有灯光的轮椅

and the wheelchair with lights?

和有亮灯的轮椅？

The difference is intent.

不同的地方在于设计意图。

That's right, that's right; I'm no longer a victim.

这就对了，这就对了；我不再是一个受害者。

I chose to change the situation -- I'm the Commander of the Starship Wheelchair with the phaser wheels in the front. Right?

Intent changes the picture completely.

设计目的完全改变了人的感受。

I choose to enhance

坐轮椅的体验

with a simple design element.

Now go with me here. Look at this guy. You know who this is?

dozens and dozens of young people --

杀死成批的人——

如果他的目的就是这个，

he's a vicious criminal. We punish him.

But, if he instead acted out of a delusional fantasy,

he's in a completely different category.

这就完全不同了，

We may put him away for life, but

我们也许会把他终身隔离起来，

we watch him clinically.

但我们会对他医疗监控。

It's a completely different domain.

You can probably tell there are two sets of twins,

你可以看见这有两个上胞胎，

总而言之，试管受精。

is about as intentional as agriculture.

Let me tell you, some of you may have the experience.

In fact, the whole technology of sperm extraction

From your sperm tests we can

(Laughter)

（笑声）

But I never became a designer. No, no, no, no. Never attempted. Never even close.

但是我从来没有成为设计师。不，不，不，不。从来没有这个尝试。甚至没接近过。

I did love some great designs as I was growing up:

当我长大的时候我的确喜欢一些产品设计：

In school, I studied nothing close to design or engineering;

在学校，我学的和设计或者工程一点不沾边；

I studied useless things like the Classics,

我学习没有用的像古典文学，

but there were some lessons even there --

但是还是有一些课程的

this guy, Plato, it turns out he's a designer.

这家伙，柏拉图，原来是个设计师。

He designed a state in "The Republic,"

他设计了国家的“理想国”

a design never implemented.

Listen to one of the design features

听一下柏拉图设计的

of Plato's Government 4.0:

"The State in which the rulers are most reluctant to govern

is always the best and most quietly governed,

往往治理的比较好且安稳，

and the State in which they are most eager, the worst."

越是渴望统治国家的君主，他们的国家反而更糟”

Well, got that wrong, didn't we?

这有错吗，我们搞错了吗？

But look at that statement; it's all about intent. That's what I love about it.

但是看到这样的表述；充满意图。这正是我喜爱的。

But consider what Plato is doing here. What is he doing?

但是考虑一下如果柏拉图在这里。他会做些什么？

It's a grand idea of design -- a huge idea of design,

这是一个广义的设计——一个大想法的设计，

common to all of the voices of religion and philosophy

that emerged in the Classical period.

宗教和哲学都适用。

in this metal and wood and leather

在一个金属，木材，皮革脚踏板，
