Diana Reiss: You may think you're looking

Diana Reiss： 从窗户这看过去

through a window at a dolphin spinning playfully,

你可能以为是一只海豚为了找乐子，旋身打转

but what you're actually looking through

但其实你正透过一面双面镜

is a two-way mirror at a dolphin

看到一只海豚

looking at itself spinning playfully.

对着镜子转着玩

This is a dolphin that is self-aware.

这只海豚意识到自己

This dolphin has self-awareness.

是有自我意识的

It's a young dolphin named Bayley.

这只小海豚名叫贝利 (Bayley)

I've been very interested in understanding the nature

过去 30 年来，我对海豚的智能特质

of the intelligence of dolphins for the past 30 years.

一直很有兴趣

How do we explore intelligence in this animal

我们要如何探讨这种与我们

that's so different from us?

截然不同的生物所拥有的智力?

And what I've used is a very simple research tool,

我用过的研究工具非常简单

a mirror, and we've gained great information,

光是一面镜子，便透漏出许多

reflections of these animal minds.

反映动物思维的讯息

Dolphins aren't the only animals, the only non-human animals,

人类以外，海豚并不是唯一

to show mirror self-recognition.

能认得镜中自己的动物

We used to think this was a uniquely human ability,

我们曾经认为这是人类独有的能力，

but we learned that the great apes, our closest relatives,

但人类近亲猩猩

also show this ability.

也表现出了这种能力

Then we showed it in dolphins,

海豚和大象

and then later in elephants.

都展现了这种能力

We did this work in my lab with the dolphins and elephants,

我们在实验室以大象和海豚进行研究

最近发现喜鹊也具备这样的能力

and it's been recently shown in the magpie.

Now, it's interesting, because we've embraced

有趣的是，我们向来拥护

this Darwinian view of a continuity in physical evolution,

达尔文认为形体进化有延续性的观点

this physical continuity.

相对于这种形体延续性

But we've been much more reticent, much slower

我们比较有所保留的是

at recognizing this continuity in cognition,

其他动物在认知、情感

in emotion, in consciousness in other animals.

其他动物在认知、情感

Other animals are conscious.

和知觉也有演化延续性

They're emotional. They're aware.

牠们有感情，有意识

There have been multitudes of studies with many species

多年来，已有许多物种研究

over the years that have given us exquisite evidence

提供精确的证据

for thinking and consciousness in other animals,

证明其他外型与我们非常不同的动物

other animals that are quite different than we are in form.

也有意识，还能思考

We are not alone.

这方面

We are not alone in these abilities.

我们并非得天独厚

And I hope, and one of my biggest dreams,

我最大的梦想

is that, with our growing awareness

就是随着我们对其他动物意识

about the consciousness of others

的了解加深

and our relationship with the rest of the animal world,

加上我们与其他物种关系更加密切

that we'll give them the respect and protection

我们会给牠们

that they deserve.

应有的尊重和保护

So that's a wish I'm throwing out here for everybody,

这就是我要和大家分享的愿望

and I hope I can really engage you in this idea.

希望藉此获得各位认同

Now, I want to return to dolphins,

回到海豚的主题

because these are the animals that I feel like

我和这些动物

I've been working up closely and personal with

已经密切合作了

for over 30 years.

大概30 多年

And these are real personalities.

牠们的确通人性

They are not persons, but they're personalities

虽不是人类，但从任何角度来看

in every sense of the word.

牠们都很有个性

And you can't get more alien than the dolphin.

没有比海豚更独特的生物了

They are very different from us in body form.

就形体来说，跟人类就很不一样

They're radically different. They come from a radically different environment.

截然不同的牠们，来自一个很特殊的环境

事实上， 9500 万年前我们就在演化上

In fact, we're separated by 95 million years

of divergent evolution.

分道扬镳

Look at this body.

看看这副形体

And in every sense of making a pun here,

有句各方面都很贴切的双关语

these are true non-terrestrials.

海豚真的不是陆(地球)上的生物

I wondered how we might interface with these animals.

我曾思索人类和牠们沟通的可能方式

In the 1980s, I developed an underwater keyboard.

在八十年代，我研发出水底键盘

This was a custom-made touch-screen keyboard.

是特制的触控键盘

What I wanted to do was give the dolphins choice and control.

我要的就是让海豚选择和控制

These are big brains, highly social animals,

海豚是有高智能的群居动物

and I thought, well, if we give them choice and control,

所以我想，如果让他们选择和控制

if they can hit a symbol on this keyboard --

如果他们能敲击键盘上的符号

and by the way, it was interfaced by fiber optic cables

补充说明一下，键盘是以HP的光纤电缆

from Hewlett-Packard with an Apple II computer.

连接Apple II 计算机

This seems prehistoric now,

现在看来很落伍

but this was where we were with technology.

卻是當時我們可用的科技

So the dolphins could hit a key, a symbol,

海豚可敲的每个按键都代表一个符号

they heard a computer-generated whistle,

然后听到计算机产生的某种哨音

and they got an object or activity.

接着得到物件或活动

Now here's a little video.

请看这段短片

This is Delphi and Pan, and you're going to see Delphi

Delphi 和Pan，我们要观察的是Delphi

hitting a key, he hears a computer-generated whistle -- (Whistle) --

碰按键，听到计算机哨音……拿到球

and gets a ball, so they can actually ask for things they want.

所以他们真的可要求想要的东西

What was remarkable is, they explored this keyboard

值得注意的是，他们会自己摸索尝试

on their own. There was no intervention on our part.

我们并未加以干涉

They explored the keyboard. They played around with it.

牠们摸索玩弄键盘

找出运作机制

They figured out how it worked.

And they started to quickly imitate the sounds

随即便能模仿计算机哨音

牠们聆听键盘对应的哨音

they were hearing on the keyboard.

They imitated on their own.

然后模仿

Beyond that, though, they started learning

不只如此，他们还悟出

associations between the symbols, the sounds

符号、声音

and the objects.

和物件间的关系

What we saw was self-organized learning,

牠们所展现的是自主学习

and now I'm imagining, what can we do

所以我开始假想

with new technologies?

我们是否可用新科技作些应用?

How can we create interfaces, new windows into

我们要怎样利用现代科技

the minds of animals, with the technologies that exist today?

建立窥探动物思绪的介面

So I was thinking about this, and then, one day,

在构思过程中的某一天

I got a call from Peter.

我接到Peter的电话

Peter Gabriel: I make noises for a living.

Peter Gabriel:我的职业是制造噪音

On a good day, it's music,

运气好的时候就会产生音乐

and I want to talk a little bit about

我想谈谈

the most amazing music-making experience I ever had.

我最棒的音乐制作经验

I'm a farm boy. I grew up surrounded by animals,

在农场长大的我，自小便与动物为伍

and I would look in these eyes and wonder

我会注视牠们的眼睛并好奇

what was going on there?

他们在想甚么?

So as an adult, when I started to read about

长大后，当我读到一些重大发现

the amazing breakthroughs with Penny Patterson and Koko,

像Penny Patterson和Koko(金刚猩猩)

with Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Kanzi, Panbanisha,

Sue Savage-Rumbaugh 及黑猩猩Kanzi和Panbanisha

Irene Pepperberg, Alex the parrot,

Irene Pepperberg及Alex(鹦鹉)

I got all excited.

这些研究让我备觉兴奋

What was amazing to me also

也很令人惊奇的是

was they seemed a lot more adept

相较于我们对动物语言的认识

at getting a handle on our language

牠们对人类使用的语言

than we were on getting a handle on theirs.

似乎更能进入状况

I work with a lot of musicians from around the world,

我和世界各地的音乐家合作时

and often we don't have any common language at all,

往往语言不通

but we sit down behind our instruments,

但当我们演奏时

and suddenly there's a way for us to connect and emote.

彼此间忽然就能沟通抒情

So I started cold-calling, and eventually got through

之后我到处拜访致电

to Sue Savage-Rumbaugh,

最后终于联络上Sue Savage-Rumbaugh

and she invited me down.

她便邀我过去

I went down, and the bonobos

我去拜访时

had had access to percussion instruments,

那些黑猩猩已学会打击乐玩具

musical toys, but never before to a keyboard.

但尚未接触过键盘

At first they did what infants do,

起初黑猩猩就像婴儿般

just bashed it with their fists,

用拳头猛敲键盘

and then I asked, through Sue,

然后我请Sue

if Panbanisha could try with one finger only.

要求Panbanisha用一根手指弹

Sue Savage-Rumbaugh: Can you play a grooming song?

Sue:弹一首抚慰心灵的歌好吗?

I want to hear a grooming song.

我想听轻柔的歌曲

Play a real quiet grooming song.

弹一首宁静抚慰的歌给我听

PG: So groom was the subject of the piece.

Peter：抚慰是这音乐的主题

(Music)

（弹奏音乐）

So I'm just behind, jamming,

当时我在后面忙

yeah, this is what we started with.

这是我们当时播放的音乐

Sue's encouraging her to continue a little more.

Sue 鼓励她多弹一会

(Music)

（Panbanisha弹琴）

She discovers a note she likes,

牠发现了喜欢的音

finds the octave.

还找到八度音

She'd never sat at a keyboard before.

牠从未弹过琴

Nice triplets.

三连音弹得不错

SSR: You did good. That was very good.

Sue: 很棒!弹得真好!

PG: She hit good.

牠弹得很棒!

(Applause)

（掌声）

So that night, we began to dream,

當晚我们就因此想像

and we thought, perhaps the most amazing tool

也许人類創造的工具中

that man's created is the Internet,

最令人驚奇的就是是互联网

and what would happen if we could somehow

如果我们能发现某种

find new interfaces,

新视听界面

visual-audio interfaces that would allow

好让这些

these remarkable sentient beings

与我们共享地球

that we share the planet with access?

有非凡感官特质的生物使用

And Sue Savage-Rumbaugh got excited about that,

Sue 对此构想觉得很兴奋

called her friend Steve Woodruff,

就打电话给她的朋友Steve Woodruff

and we began hustling all sorts of people

于是我们热切寻找

whose work related or was inspiring,

在相关领域或工作引人入胜的人

which led us to Diana,

而Diana和Neil

and led us to Neil.

正是我们要找的人

Neil Gershenfeld: Thanks, Peter. PG: Thank you.

Neil Gershenfeld: 谢啦! Peter Peter: 谢谢!

（掌声）

(Applause)

NG: So Peter approached me.

Neil： Peter找我的时候

I lost it when I saw that clip.

那段视频简直匪夷所思

He approached me with a vision of doing these things

他来找我谈这些事的愿景

not for people, for animals.

不是为了人类，而是动物

And then I was struck in the history of the Internet.

不过互联网的历史让我灵机一动

This is what the Internet looked like when it was born

这是互联网剛問世的样子

and you can call that the Internet

或可称为中年白人的互联网

of middle-aged white men,

或许这样比较好记

mostly middle-aged white men.

像照片中多是中年白种男性

Vint Cerf: (Laughs)

Vint Cerf： （笑）

(Laughter)

(笑聲持續)

NG: Speaking as one.

Neil: 我就是其中一个

Then, when I first came to TED,

那时我首次出席TED

which was where I met Peter, I showed this.

遇到Peter并给他看这个

This is a $1 web server,

我手中拿的是1 元的 网络 服务器

and at the time that was radical.

当时这算很先进了!

And the possibility of making a web server for a dollar

用一元美金制造服务器的可能性

grew into what became known as the Internet of Things,

最后演变成所谓的网络

which is literally an industry now with tremendous implications

现在这产业的实质影响深远

for health care, energy efficiency.

所及包含卫生保健、能源效率

And we were happy with ourselves.

我们也乐在其中

And then when Peter showed me that,

所以当Peter给我看他的构想时

I realized we had missed something,

我知道我们遗漏了一些东西

就是地球上的其他生物

which is the rest of the planet.

So we started up this interspecies Internet project.

于是我们着手跨物种的互联网计划

Now we started talking with TED

于是我们跟TED谈论

about how you bring dolphins and great apes and elephants

如何把海豚、大猩猩和大象带来现场

to TED, and we realized that wouldn't work.

不过我们后来觉得行不通

So we're going to bring you to them.

所以我们要把你们带到牠们面前

So if we could switch to the audio from this computer,

若我们将这计算机切换到音效模式

we've been video conferencing with cognitive animals,

事实上我们和有认知能力的动物视讯过

and we're going to have each of them

我们会和提过的每一种动物接触

just briefly introduce them.

简短介绍一下牠们

And so if we could also have this up, great.

接着…还有画面，太好了!

So the first site we're going to meet

我们首先要联机的地点是

is Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, with orangutans.

威科市(Waco)喀麦隆保护区动物园(Cameron Park Zoo)的红毛猩猩

In the daytime they live outside. It's nighttime there now.

牠们白天在户外，不过当地现在是晚上

So can you please go ahead?

妳先说

Terri Cox: Hi, I'm Terri Cox

Terri Cox:嗨，我是威科市喀麦隆保护区动物园的

with the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas,

泰瑞‧寇克斯

and with me I have KeraJaan and Mei,

在我身边的是凯拉乔(KeraJaan)和梅(Mei)

two of our Bornean orangutans.

牠们是婆罗洲猩猩(Bornean orangutans)

During the day, they have a beautiful, large outdoor habitat,

白天他们有个优美的 大型户外栖息地

and at night, they come into this habitat,

晚上则回到这里

into their night quarters,

的夜间休息处

where they can have a climate-controlled

这里气候适宜

and secure environment to sleep in.

环境安全，可以睡覺

We participate in the Apps for Apes program

我们加入Orangutan Outreach（红毛猩猩推广组织）的

Orangutan Outreach, and we use iPads

猿类应用程序计划，通过iPad帮助

to help stimulate and enrich the animals,

激发并丰富动物的生活

and also help raise awareness

同时唤醒社会对

for these critically endangered animals.

濒危动物的认知

And they share 97 percent of our DNA

牠们的DNA 和我们有 97%相同

and are incredibly intelligent,

而且很聪明

so it's so exciting to think of all the opportunities

所以，想到可借机通过网络和科技手段

that we have via technology and the Internet

让他们生活更丰富，视野更开阔

to really enrich their lives and open up their world.

我就觉得很兴奋

We're really excited about the possibility

我们对跨物种网络的潜力

of an interspecies Internet,

非常期待

and K.J. has been enjoying the conference very much.

凯拉乔（K.J.）对视讯始终非常投入

NG: That's great. When we were rehearsing last night,

Neil：这是好事！我们昨晚彩排时

他兴趣盎然地看着大象

he had fun watching the elephants.

Next user group are the dolphins at the National Aquarium.

下一组用户是国家水族馆的海豚

Please go ahead.

请说吧

Allison Ginsburg: Good evening.

Allison Ginsburg： 晚上好。

Well, my name is Allison Ginsburg,

我是艾利森-金斯伯格（Allison Ginsburg）

我们在巴尔的摩的国家水族馆

and we're live in Baltimore at the National Aquarium.

我身后是我们八只大西洋宽吻海豚中的三只

Joining me are three of our eight Atlantic bottlenose dolphins:

20-year-old Chesapeake, who was our first dolphin born here,

彻萨皮克（Chesapeake）20 岁，是这里出生的第一只海豚

her four-year-old daughter Bayley,

她4岁的女儿贝利（Chesapeake）

and her half sister, 11-year-old Maya.

还有她同母异父的姐姐，11 岁的玛雅（Maya）

Now, here at the National Aquarium

这里是国家水族馆

we are committed to excellence in animal care,

我们竭力提升

to research, and to conservation.

动物照看、研究和保护

The dolphins are pretty intrigued as to what's going on here tonight.

海豚对今晚的事很好奇

They're not really used to having cameras here

他们不太习惯

at 8 o'clock at night.

晚间八点上镜头

In addition, we are very committed to doing

此外，我们还致力于

different types of research.

不同类型的研究

As Diana mentioned, our animals are involved

如Diana所说，我们的动物都参与了

in many different research studies.

许多不同的研究

NG: Those are for you.

Neil：就这些

Okay, that's great, thank you.

好的，不错！谢谢！

And the third user group, in Thailand,

下面是来自泰国的第三组用户

is Think Elephants. Go ahead, Josh.

国际关怀大象组织的Josh，换你了！

Josh Plotnik: Hi, my name is Josh Plotnik,

Josh Plotnik： 嗨，我的名字是Josh Plotnik

and I'm with Think Elephants International,

我在国际关怀大象组织（TEI）工作

and we're here in the Golden Triangle of Thailand

我们目前在泰国金三角的

with the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation elephants.

金三角亚洲象基金会

And we have 26 elephants here,

这里有 26 头大象

and our research is focused on the evolution of intelligence with elephants,

我们的研究重点是大象智力的演进

but our foundation Think Elephants is focused

不过国际关怀大象组织认更注重

on bringing elephants into classrooms around the world

让大象融入全球各地的教学现场

virtually like this and showing people

就像现场这样展示

how incredible these animals are.

这些动物有多不可思议

So we're able to bring the camera right up to the elephant,

我们可以近距离拍摄大象

put food into the elephant's mouth,

喂他食物

show people what's going on inside their mouths,

让人了解大象咀嚼的过程

and show everyone around the world

让全球的人知道

how incredible these animals really are.

大象有多棒

NG: Okay, that's great. Thanks Josh.

Neil： 这真的很不错！谢谢Josh

And once again, we've been building great relationships

同样，从彩排开始我们就在建立

among them just since we've been rehearsing.

他们之间的密切关系

So at that point, if we can go back to the other computer,

假设那时我们可看到其他计算机

we were starting to think about how you integrate

当时我们就想，要如何

the rest of the biomass of the planet into the Internet,

以网络整合地球上的其他生物

and we went to the best possible person

于是我们找了我能想到的最佳人选

I can think of, which is Vint Cerf,

文特-瑟夫（Vint Cerf）

who is one of the founders who gave us the Internet. Vint?

网络的创始者之一。文特?

VC: Thank you, Neil.

VC： 谢谢你，Neil

(Applause)

（掌声）

A long time ago in a galaxy — oops, wrong script.

久远前的星系…… 哎呀，拿错稿子了!

Forty years ago, Bob Kahn and I

40年前，我和鲍勃-卡恩（Bob Kahn）

did the design of the Internet.

共同设计网络

Thirty years ago, we turned it on.

10年后，我们使之开启

Just last year, we turned on the production Internet.

就在去年，我们启动了正式版网络

You've been using the experimental version

过去的30年来

for the last 30 years.

大众使用的其实是试验版

The production version, it uses IP version 6.

正式版用的是因特网通讯协议第6版（IPv6）

It has 3.4 times 10 to the 38th possible terminations.

支持约3.4 ×10^38个可能的地址

That's a number only that Congress can appreciate.

这种数字只有美国国会喜欢

But it leads to what is coming next.

但攸关未来发展

When Bob and I did this design,

鲍勃和我当初的设计

we thought we were building a system to connect computers together.

是要建立连接计算机的系统

What we very quickly discovered

但我们随即发现

is that this was a system for connecting people together.

事实上这是一个连接人群的系统

And what you've seen tonight

而各位今晚所见

tells you that we should not restrict this network

告诉大家我们不应将网络

to one species,

局限于单一物种

that these other intelligent, sentient species

其他有感官智能的物种

should be part of the system too.

也应涵盖在内

This is the system as it looks today, by the way.

目前的网络系统就是这样子的，还有

This is what the Internet looks like to a computer

这也是计算机演绎出的互联网架构

that's trying to figure out where the traffic

这架构试图找出

is supposed to go.

网络连结的方式

This is generated by a program

这图是由一个

that's looking at the connectivity of the Internet,

观察网络连接的程序算出

and how all the various networks are connected together.

这程序也观察不同网络间的连接方式

There are about 400,000 networks, interconnected,

大约有40万，分别由40万不同机构独立运作

run independently by 400,000 different operating agencies,

的网络互相连结

and the only reason this works

这模式能运作的唯一解释

is that they all use the same standard TCP/IP protocols.

就是他们使用相同标准的TCP/IP 通讯协议

Well, you know where this is headed.

各位知道这发展的趋势

The Internet of Things tell us

物联网（The Internet of Things）的启示就是

that a lot of computer-enabled appliances and devices

很多计算机兼容的装置设备

are going to become part of this system too:

将成为此系统的一部分

appliances that you use around the house,

像家电

that you use in your office,

办公设备

that you carry around with yourself or in the car.

随身电器或汽车装置

That's the Internet of Things that's coming.

这就是即将来临的物联网

Now, what's important about what these people are doing

而这些人目前所做的事之所以重要

is that they're beginning to learn

是因为他们正学着

how to communicate with species

如何与

that are not us

人类以外、与我们共享

but share a common sensory environment.

感官环境的物种沟通

We're beginning to explore what it means

我们开始探讨

to communicate with something

与其他物种沟通

that isn't just another person.

的意义

Well, you can see what's coming next.

各位可以预料事情的发展

All kinds of possible sentient beings

所有感官物种

may be interconnected through this system,

皆可通过此系统相互连接

我恨不得立刻看到这些实验开始进行

and I can't wait to see these experiments unfold.

What happens after that?

那么结果如何呢？

Well, let's see.

我们拭目以待

There are machines that need to talk to machines

机器间需要传输沟通

and that we need to talk to, and so as time goes on,

我们也需要和机器沟通，因此

we're going to have to learn

我们需要与时俱进

how to communicate with computers

学习如何与计算机沟通

and how to get computers to communicate with us

学习如何让计算机以我们习惯的方式

in the way that we're accustomed to,

与我们对话

not with keyboards, not with mice,

不是靠键盘或鼠标

but with speech and gestures

而是通过说话和手势

and all the natural human language that we're accustomed to.

以及所有人类惯用的沟通方式

So we'll need something like C3PO

因此我们需要 C3PO（星际大战中的金色机器人）这类的

to become a translator between ourselves

帮我们与日常所用的

and some of the other machines we live with.

其他机器沟通

Now, there is a project that's underway

目前有个进行中的计划

called the interplanetary Internet.

叫作星际互联网

It's in operation between Earth and Mars.

它在地球和火星间运作

It's operating on the International Space Station.

在国际太空站进行

It's part of the spacecraft that's in orbit around the Sun

是一艘宇宙飞船的组件

that's rendezvoused with two planets.

飞船绕行太阳轨道时曾与两行星会合

So the interplanetary system is on its way,

星际互联网尚在发展中

but there's a last project,

不过有个最近完成的计划

which the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,

是国防高等研究计划署（DARPA）

which funded the original ARPANET,

也就是资助过初版阿帕网（APPANET）的单位

funded the Internet, funded the interplanetary architecture,

他们也资助互联网、 星际演绎程序

is now funding a project to design a spacecraft

不过目前投资的是一艘航天器的设计

to get to the nearest star in 100 years' time.

以达成100 年内抵达最近恒星的目标

What that means is that what we're learning

其意义就是我们目前研究的范围

with these interactions with other species

也就是跨物种沟通

will teach us, ultimately,

最终会使我们明白

how we might interact with an alien from another world.

我们与外星人的可能互动方式

I can hardly wait.

我已经迫不急待了！

(Applause)

（掌声）

June Cohen: So first of all, thank you,

June Cohen： 首先，谢谢你们

and I would like to acknowledge that four people

我得承认你们四人

who could talk to us for full four days

本来可以谈上整整四天的

actually managed to stay to four minutes each,

但你们充分运用每人分配到的四分钟

and we thank you for that.

我们对此心怀感激

I have so many questions,

我有很多问题想问

but maybe a few practical things that the audience might want to know.

但观众也许想知道几个实际的问题

你们在此发表这个构想 Peter： 今天第一次

You're launching this idea here at TED — PG: Today.

JC: Today. This is the first time you're talking about it.

June：所以，今天是你们首次发表

Tell me a little bit about where you're going to take the idea.

能否透漏这构想的未来发展?

下一步呢？

What's next?

PG: I think we want to engage as many people

Peter：我们希望尽可能有更多人加入

here as possible in helping us

并协助我们

think of smart interfaces that will make all this possible.

设计智能界面来实现这一切

NG: And just mechanically,

Neil：在制度方面

there's a 501(c)(3) and web infrastructure

目前已有一非营利组织和 网络基础建设

and all of that, but it's not quite ready to turn on,

尽管如此，一切尚未就绪

so we'll roll that out, and contact us

但我们会完成，如需相关信息

if you want the information on it.

请和我们联系

The idea is this will be -- much like the Internet functions

这构想会很像互联网的功能

as a network of networks,

变成网络的网络

which is Vint's core contribution,

这正是文特投入最多的地方

this will be a wrapper around all of these initiatives,

将会是一个集大成的综合计划

that are wonderful individually, to link them globally.

连结全球杰出的个别计划

JC: Right, and do you have a web address

June：好的，你有网址吗?

that we might look for yet?

说不定我们可以去浏览

NG: Shortly. JC: Shortly. We will come back to you on that.

Neil：等会儿就给妳 JC:：那待会再找你们

And very quickly, just to clarify.

可否请你们再简单说明一下

Some people might have looked at the video that you showed

有些人可能已看过现场播过的视频

and thought, well, that's just a webcam.

而且认为这不过就是网络视频

What's special about it?

到底哪里特别呢?

If you could talk for just a moment

可否请你们再说明一下

about how you want to go past that?

要如何更上一层楼?

NG: So this is scalable video infrastructure,

Neil： 这套公共视讯系统是可扩展的

not for a few to a few but many to many,

能提供多对多的服务，而非只是几个对几个而已

so that it scales to symmetrical video sharing

所以可经由全球据点扩充

and content sharing across these sites around the planet.

来进行对等视频或内容共享
