翻译人员: Yan Chen 校对人员: Gao Popol

The big residual

大量的剩余物质

is always value for money.

确实能创造很多价值和金钱。

All the time we are trying to get value for money.

我们一直在为财富而获取价值

What we don't look for

而没有去试着

is value for many,

为大众创造价值

while we are generating value for money.

当我们在为财富创造价值的时候

Do we care about those four billion people

我们有们有考虑到有那么四十亿人口

whose income levels are less than two dollars a day,

那些日收入水平不超过两美元

the so-called bottom of the pyramid?

被称为“金字塔”底层的人们

What are the challenges in getting value for money

为财富创造价值

as well as value for many?

同时也能为大众创造价值的难处和挑战是什么呢？

We have described here

我们会在这里

in terms of the performance

就性能

and the price.

和价格阐述一下。

If you have money, of course, you can get the value.

如果你拥有金钱，当然你也就拥有价值。

You can get a Mercedes

你可以以非常高的价格

for a very high price,

购买一辆性能优越的

very high performance.

奔驰轿车。

But if you don't have money, what happens?

但要是你没有钱，会怎样呢？

Well, you are to ride a bicycle,

好吧， 那么你骑自行车，

carrying your own weight and also some other weight,

承担你自己的重量以及其他的重量，

so that you can earn the bread for the day.

然后你才能赚到每天所需的“面包”。

Well, poor do not remain poor;

那么，穷人不再贫穷，

they become lower-middle-class.

他们开始成为中下阶层。

And if they do so,

要是他们这样做下去，

then, of course, the conditions improve,

理所当然，一段时间后他们的生活条件会得到提升，

and they start riding on scooters.

他们开始骑摩托车。

But the challenge is, again, they don't get much value,

但是，同样的问题依然存在，他们没有创造太多的价值，

because they can't afford anything more than the scooter.

因为他们不能承担比摩托车再多的了。

The issue is, at that price,

问题是，以那样低的价格，

can you give them some extra value?

你愿意给他们额外的回报吗？

A super value,

只要会开车，

in terms of their ability to ride in a car,

就有能力买到一辆价格低

to get that dignity, to get that safety,

外观好，安全性高的汽车。

looks practically impossible, isn't it.

似乎看起来非常不现实，不是吗？

Now, this is something

这是

that we see on Indian streets

我们在印度的街头

all the time.

可以经常看到的。

But many people see the same thing

看到的是同样的东西，

and think things differently,

但很多人的想法却不一样，

and one of them is here, Ratan Tata.

其中一个就是，Ratan Tata (Tata集团的现任主席）。

The great thing about our leaders

领导者之所以伟大，

is that, should they not only have passion in their belly,

除了他们的怀中有激情以外，

which practically all of them have,

事实上他们都有，

they're also very innovative.

也必须是有创新思维的。

An innovator is one who does not know it cannot be done.

一个创新者的字典中没有“不可能”

They believe that things can be done.

他们相信事情是可以实现的。

But great leaders like Ratan

但是像Ratan那样的伟大的领导者，

have compassion.

也要有同情心。

And what you said, Lakshmi, is absolutely true:

吉祥天女（婆罗门教-印度教的幸福与财富女神）是绝对真实的：

it's not just Ratan Tata,

不仅仅是Ratan Tata，

it's the house of Tatas over time.

这些年来的Tata集团也是这样。

Let me confirm what she said.

让我来证实我们刚刚讲到的。

Yes, I went barefoot

事实上，我一直到12岁

until I was 12.

都没有鞋穿

I struggled to [unclear] day

那些在艰难中奋斗的日子

was a huge issue.

是我人生中的一件大事。

And when I finished my SSC, the eleventh standard,

当我完成了初中学习，

I stood eleventh among 125,000 students.

我在12万5千名学生中排行11.

But I was about to leave the school,

但是因为经济状况不好的妈妈无法承受我的学费

because my poor mother couldn't afford schooling.

我必须要辍学。

And it was [unclear] Tata Trust, which gave me six rupees per month,

这时候，Tata基金会给我每个月6卢布的资助，

almost a dollar per month for six years.

将近1美金一个月，持续了6年。

That's how I'm standing before you.

这就是为什么我现在可以站在你们面前。

So that is the House of Tata.

这就是Tata集团。

(Applause)

（鼓掌）

Innovation, compassion and passion.

创新，怜悯和激情。

They combine all that.

他们结合了这些元素。

And it was that compassion which bothered them,

同时，同情心也困扰着他们，

because when he saw -- in fact, he told me about eight or nine years ago

因为当他看到... 事实上，大概8，,9年前他告诉我

how he was driving his own car --

他是怎么驾驶的

he drives his own car by the way --

有一天他开着车，

and he saw in the rain,

那天下着雨，

a family like the one that I showed to you

他看到在路上有一个家庭，就像我刚刚给你们看的一样，

getting drenched with an infant.

他们都淋湿了，车上还有一个婴儿。

And then he said, "Well, I must give them a car that they can afford,

然后他决定，“我一定要给他们一辆车，一辆他们可以承担的起的车。

one lakh car, $2,000 car."

一辆只要2千美金的车。”

Of course, as soon as you say something like this

当然，当你说出这些话的时候，

people say it is impossible,

人们马上就会说这是不可能的。

and that's what was said by Suzuki.

而且这还是由铃木说的。

He said, oh, probably he is going to build a three-wheeler

他说，“哦，他可能要制造

with stepney.

一台三轮车。”

And you can see the cartoon here.

你可以看到这幅漫画。

Well they didn't build that. They built a proper car. Nano.

可是他们没有这样做。他们制造了一辆正规的汽车。Nano.

And mind you, I'm six feet half an inch,

请留意，我身高1米8，

Ratan is taller than me,

Ratan比我还高，

and we have ample space in the front

我们仍有富余的空间在车的前部，

and ample space in the back in this particular car.

和车的尾部。

And incredible car.

这辆特殊的，令人难以置信的车。

And of course, nothing succeeds like success;

当然，一事成功,事事顺利；

the cynics then turned around,

一个接一个

and one after the other

想要改变社会的人出现了。

they also started saying, "Yes, we also want to make a car in the Nano Segment.

他们开始说，“我们也想制造Nano这样的汽车。

We'll manufacture a car in the Nano Segment."

我们要大批生产Nano这样的汽车。“

How did this great story unfold,

Nano诞生的伟大股市

the making of Nano?

是怎样展开的呢？

Let me tell you a bit about it.

让我告诉你一些事情。

For example, how we started:

举个例子，我们是这样开始的：

Ratan just began with a five-engineer team,

Ratan正要开始组建一个由五位工程师组成的团队，

young people in their mid-twenties.

这些都是二十多岁的年轻人。

And he said,

然后他说，

"Well, I won't define the vehicle for you,

“好吧，我不会给你限定一辆车，

but I will define the cost for you.

但我会限定一个价格。

It is one lakh, 100,000 rupees,

10万卢布 （约1万5千人民币），

and you are to make it within that."

你们必须在这个价格范围内制造这辆汽车。”

And he told them,

他还告诉他们，

"Question the unquestionable.

“不要墨守成规。

Stretch the envelope."

要极尽你们的想象力。”

And at a point in time,

并且在此刻，

he got so engrossed in the whole challenge,

他非常专注于这个挑战，

that he himself became a member of the team.

所以他自己也成为了团队的一名成员。

Can you believe it?

不可思议，是吧？

I still am told about this story

还是这个故事，

of that single wiper design in which he participated.

他参加汽车的雨刷设计的时候。

Until midnight, he'd be thinking.

他一直思考到半夜。

Early morning he'll be coming back with sort of solutions.

然后在清早带着解决的方法回来了。

But who was the team leader?

但是，谁是团队的领队？

The team leader was Girish Wagh,

领队是Girish Wagh,

a 34 year-old boy in [unclear].

一个仅仅34岁的男人。

And the Nano team average age

Nano团队的平均年龄

was just 27 years.

才27岁。

And they did innovation in design and beyond.

他们确实在设计中做到了创新和超越。

Broke many norms of the standard conventions for the first time.

第一次打破了传统标准中的许多准则。

For example, that a two-cylinder gas engine

举一个例子，一个两缸汽油发动机

was used in a car with a single balancer shaft.

只用了一个平衡轴。

Adhesives were replacing the rivets.

胶黏剂取代着鋶钉。

There was a co-creation, a huge co-creation,

这是一次共同创作，一个巨大的

with vendors and suppliers.

来自厂商和供应商的共同创作。

All ideas on board were welcome.

在这个事情上的所有想法都受到欢迎。

100 vendors were co-located adjacent to the plant,

100个厂商驻扎在同一个地方，

and innovative business models for automobile dealerships were developed.

开发了创新型的汽车经销模式。

Imagine that a fellow

想象一下一个卖衣服的家伙，

who sells cloth, for example, will be selling Nano.

举个例子，将要卖汽车。

I mean, it was incredible innovation.

这是难以置信的创新。

Seeking solutions for non-auto sectors.

去寻求非汽车行业的解决方法。

It was an open innovation,

这是一个开放的创新，

ideas from all over were welcome.

欢迎来自各界的想法。

The mechanism of helicopters seats and windows was used, by the way,

顺便提一下，直升机的座位和窗户的机制，

as well as a dashboard

以及仪表板的设计，

that was inspired by two-wheelers.

都是被两轮汽车所启发的。

The fuel lines and lamps

以及两轮车中的

were as in two-wheelers.

燃料管和灯。

And the crux of the matter was, however,

事情的关键在于，

getting more from less.

如何花费更少而获得更多。

All the time, you have been given an envelope.

一直以来，他们都有一个任务，

You can't cross that envelope,

你不能违反任务的原则，

which is 100,000 rupees, 2,000 dollars.

成本必须低于2千美金。

And therefore, each component

所以，每一个原件

had to have a dual functionality.

都必须是有双重功效的。

And the seat riser, for example,

举个例子，座位的提升器

serving as a mounting for the seat

既有着座位的架置作用，

as well as a structural part

也是架构中

of the functional rigidity.

负责加固的组成部分。

Half the number of parts

相比起典型的轿车，

are contained in Nano

Nano汽车只包含了

in comparison to a typical passenger car.

以往一半数量的组件。

The length is smaller by eight percent by the way.

车身长度缩短了百分之八。

But the current entry-level cars

但目前的入门级轿车相比，

in comparison to that is eight percent less,

Nano缩短了8%的车身长度，

but 21 percent more inside space.

却增加百分之二十一的内部空间。

And what happened

这确实是真的，

was that -- more from less --

不减反增，

you can see how much more for how much less.

切切实实的看到哪里增加哪里减少。

When the Model T was launched --

当福特T型车发布的时候，

and this is, by the way, all the figures

所有的数额

that are adjusted to 2007 dollar prices --

都被调整为2007年的价格，

Model T was 19,700 by Ford.

福特T型汽车是1万9千7百美元。

Volkswagon was 11,333.

大众汽车是11333美元。

And British Motor was around 11,000.

英国汽车是大约1万1千美元。

And Nano was, bang, 2,000 dollars.

Nano是，2千美元。

This is why

这就是为什么

you started

他们真正的开创了

actually a new paradigm shift,

一个新的模范，

where the same people

这就让

who could not dream of sitting in a car,

那些从前不能梦想坐在车中的人，

who were carrying their entire family in a scooter,

那些把一家人都载在摩托车上的人，

started dreaming of being in a car.

可以开始梦想他们坐在汽车里。

And those dreams are getting fulfilled.

而这些梦想也得到了实现。

This is a photograph

这是一张照片，

of a house and a driver and a car

照片里有一个屋子，一个司机和一辆汽车，

near my own home.

摄于我家附近。

The driver's name is Naran.

司机的名字叫Naran。

He has bought his own Nano.

他买了属于自己的Nano。

And you can see, there is a physical space

你可以看到，

that has been created for him,

这为他创造了一片空地，

parking that car, along with the owner's car,

让他可以停靠属于他自己的汽车。

but more importantly, they've created

更重要的是，

a space in their mind that

他们在他脑海中创造了一个空间，

"Yes, my chauffeur is going to come in his own car and park it."

让他相信 “没错，我的司机是驾驶自己的汽车来，而且停在这里。”

And that's why I call it a transformational innovation.

这就是为什么我称之为“变革创新”。

It is not just technological,

我们谈及的不仅仅是技术上的创新，

it is social innovation that we talk about.

还是一种社会创新。

And that is where, ladies and gentlemen,

所以，先生女士们，

this famous theme

这个著名的，从更少中获得更多

of getting more from less for more

的主题

becomes important.

会越来越重要。

I remember talking about this for the first time in Australia,

我还记得大约一年半前，

about one and a half years ago,

第一次到澳大利亚演讲这个主题的时候，

when their academy honored me with a fellowship.

我被他们国家学术界授予了奖学金。

And unbelievably, in 40 years,

令人难以置信的是，在40年里，

I was the first Indian to be honored.

我是第一个被授予奖学金的印度人。

And the title of my talk

我的演讲的标题

was therefore "Indian innovation

因此从“甘地的印度变革”

from Gandhi to Gandhian engineering."

变成“印度的创新”。

And I titled this more from less for more and more people

我把演讲名称简短为“甘地工程”

as Gandhian engineering.

就是为了更多人们知道并且得益于“甘地工程”。

And Gandhian engineering, in my judgment,

根据我的判断，

is the one which is going to take the world forward,

甘地工程即将推动世界前进，

is going to make a difference,

即将为人们创造不一样的世界，

not just for a few, but for everyone.

不仅仅是一些人，而是所有人。

Let me move from mobility in a car to individual mobility

为了那些不幸

for those unfortunates

失去双脚的人们，

who have lost their legs.

让我从汽车的流动性，转移到谈谈个人的流动性。

Here is an American citizen and his son

这里是一个美国人和他的儿子，

having an artificial foot.

这位先生用假肢行动。

What is its price? 20,000 dollars.

这双假肢花费多少钱？2万美金。

And of course, these feet are so designed

当然，这双假肢的设计

that they can walk only on

只能适用于行走在

such perfect pavement or roads.

完好无缺的的行人道或路上。

Unfortunately, that's not the case in India.

很遗憾的是，在印度情况就不一样了。

You can see him walk barefoot

你可以看到人们赤着脚

on an awkward land, sometimes in a marshy land,

在不方便的道路上行走，有时是在沼泽地上，

and so on and so forth.

等等等等。

More importantly,

更重要的是，

they not only walk far to work,

他们不仅仅是走这么远的路去工作，

and not only do they cycle to work,

也不仅仅是骑行去工作，

but they cycle for work, as you can see here.

他们还以骑行为一种工作，正如你可以从这里看到。

And they climb up for their work.

还有，他们还需要因为工作缘故而攀爬。

You have to design an artificial foot for such conditions.

你必须为这些情况设计一双假肢。

A challenge, of course.

这当然是一个挑战。

Four billion people, their incomes are less then two dollars a day.

40亿人口，他们的收入不到两美金一天。

And if you talk about a 20,000-dollar shoe,

如果你提及一双2万美金的鞋子，

you're talking about 10,000 days of income.

就相当于1万天的收入。

You just don't have it.

他们是不可能买下的。

And therefore, you ought to look at alternatives.

因此，你应该想想替代方法。

And that is how Jaipur Foot was created in India.

这促成了Jaipur Foot （斋浦尔足）在印度的诞生。

It had a revolutionary prosthetic fitment and delivery system,

它有一个革命性的假肢装修和配送系统，

a quick molding and modular components,

快捷的模型和组件，

enabling custom-made, on-the-spot limb fitments.

实现了现场订制的假肢设置。

You could feel it actually in an hour, by the way,

你可以在一个小时之内就装上它，

whereas the equivalent other feet

而其他同样的假肢

took something like a day, as so on.

则需要一天的时间，甚至更长。

Outer socket made by using heated high-density polyethylene pipes,

采用高密度聚乙烯管制作的外加热插座

rather than using heated sheets.

而不是由加热板制作而成的。

And unique high-ankle design and human-like looks,

独特的高脚踝设计和仿真外观，

[unclear] and functions.

新潮而又具有好的功用性。

And I like to show how it looks

我接下来展示一下这双假肢是怎么样的，

and how it works.

和怎样使用。

(Music)

（配乐）

See, he jumps. You can see what stress it must have.

看看，他可以跳起来。你可以看到它可以承受怎样的压力。

(Text: ... any person with a below the knee limb could do this.

（文字：......任何人使用膝下假肢都可以做到。

... above the limb, yes, it would be difficult ...

假肢以上，是的，会有点困难......

"Did it hurt?"

“觉得痛吗？

"No ... not at all."

不......一点也不痛。”

... he can run a kilometer in four minutes and 30 seconds ...)

他可以四分30秒跑完一千米......）

One kilometer in four minutes and 30 seconds.

四分30秒跑完一千米。

(Applause)

（鼓掌）

So that's what it is all about.

这就是所有关于它的一切。

And therefore Time took notice

因此时代周刊也关注了

of this 28-dollar foot, basically.

这双28美金的“双腿”。

(Applause)

（鼓掌）

An incredible story.

一个非常厉害的故事。

Let's move on to something else.

让我们换到讨论别的事情。

I've been talking about getting more from less for more.

我一直在讲从花费更少中获得更多。

Let's move to health.

让我们来讲一下健康。

We've talked about mobility and the rest of it, let's talk about health.

我们已经讲了汽车和假肢，让我们讲一下保健。

What's happening in the area of health?

在保健的领域里正在发生什么事情呢？

You know, you have new diseases that require new drugs.

你知道的，总有些新型疾病需要新型的药物来治愈。

And if you look at the drug development 10 years ago and now,

要是你看看10年前以及现在的药物发展，

what has happened?

发生了什么？

10 years ago, it used to cost about a quarter billion.

10年前，药物的发展花费了2.5亿。

Today it costs 1.5 billion dollars.

现在的花费是15亿美金。

Time taken for moving a molecule to marketplace,

从一个分子开始到药物最终发放到市场，

after all the human and animal testing,

经过所有的人类和动物测试，

was 10 years, now it is 15 years.

以前所需的时间是10年，而现在是15年。

Are you getting more drugs because you are spending more time and more money?

我们有因为花费了更多的金钱和时间而得到更多的药物吗？

No, I'm sorry.

很抱歉，没有。

We used to have 40, now they have come down to 30.

过去我们拥有40，现在下降到30.

So actually we are getting less from more

所以，事实上我们从花费更多中

for less and less people.

获得的却是越来越少人能拥有的更少。

Why less and less people? Because it is so expensive,

为什么越来越少人拥有呢，因为非常的昂贵。

so very few will be able to basically afford that.

所以很少人能够承担得起。

Let us just take an example.

我们来看看一个例子。

Psoriasis is very dreadful

疥疮是一种非常可怕的

disease of the skin.

皮肤病。

The cost of treatment, 20,000 dollars.

治愈这个疾病所需的费用是2万美金。

1,000-dollar antibody injections under the skin, by the way,

1千美金的抗体皮下注射，顺便提一句，

and 20 of them.

20次。

Time for development -- it took around 10 years

发展治愈方法的时间，是10年，

and 700 million dollars.

以及700万美金。

Let's start in the spirit

让我们从

of more from less and more for more

花费更少为更多的人获得更多

and start putting some targets.

的精神开始设定一些目标。

For example, we don't want 20,000 dollars; we don't have it.

举个例子，我们不想要2万美金，我们没有。

Can we do it [for] 100 dollars?

我们可以用100块美金做到这个事情吗？

Time for development, not 10 years.

发展的时间，不是10年。

We are in a hurry. Five years.

我们赶时间。5年把它做到。

Cost of development -- 300 million dollars.

成本，300万美金。

Sorry. I can't spend more than 10 million dollars.

对不起，我不能支付比10万美金再多的了。

Looks absolutely audacious.

看起来绝对大胆。

Looks absolutely ridiculous.

绝对可笑。

You know something? This has been achieved in India.

你知道吗？然而，在印度却实现了。

These targets have been achieved in India.

这些目标都在印度实现了。

And how they have been achieved ...

他们是怎样做到的呢.....

Sir Francis Bacon once said,

弗兰西斯·培根先生曾经说过，

"When you wish to achieve results

“当你希望达到一些

that have not been achieved before,

从来没有被实现过的结果，

it is an unwise fancy to think

幻想着

that they can be achieved by using methods

用被用过的方法而达到

that have been used before."

是不明智的。”

And therefore, the standard process,

也因为这样，

where you develop a molecule, put it into mice, into men,

那个把分子放进老鼠体内，再放到人体内的标准流程

are not yielding those results --

没有达到这些效果 --

the billions of dollars that have been spent.

但上亿的美金却已经花掉了。

The Indian cleverness

印度人的聪明

was using its traditional knowledge,

是使用传统的知识，

however, scientifically validating it

但以科学验证

and making that journey from men to mice to men,

使这个旅程从人到老鼠再到人，

not molecule to mice to men, you know.

而不是正如我们所知道的那样，从分子到老鼠再到人体。

And that is how this difference has come.

所以这就是差别。

And you can see this blending

而且你可以看到

of traditional medicine, modern medicine, modern science.

这种传统医学，现代医药和现代科学的结合。

I launched a big program

我9年前推行了一个大项目

[unclear] CSIR about nine years ago.

名为CSIR™

He is giving us not just for Psoriasis,

这个项目不仅仅为疥疮病而设立，

for cancer and a whole range of things, changing the whole paradigm.

还有癌症和各种其他的疾病，改变了整个模式。

And you can see this Indian Psoriasis breakthrough

而且你可以看到印度疥疮治愈的突破

obtained by this reverse form of [unclear]

是因为相反地

by doing things differently.

使用了不同的方法而达到的。

You can see before treatment and after treatment.

你可以从图中看到治愈之前和之后的不同。

This is really getting more from less for more and more people,

这就是真正的从花费更少中让越来越多的人获得更多。

because these are all affordable treatments now.

因为它们都是可以承担的治疗。

Let me just remind you

让我提醒你们一下

of what Mahatma Gandhi had said.

甘地曾经说过的话。

He had said, "Earth provides enough

他说过，“地球是可以足够地

to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed."

提供每个人所需的，但不是每个人所贪的。”

So the message he was giving us

所以他传达给我们的这个信息

was you must get more from less and less and less

就是你必须从越来越少中获得更多，

so that you can share it for more and more people,

以致于你可以与越来越多的人们分享。

not only the current generation,

不仅仅是当下的这一代人，

but the future generations.

而且是未来的人们。

And he also said, "I would prize every invention of science

他还说过，“我会为所有

made for the benefit for all."

造福全民的科学发明嘉奖。”

So he was giving you the message that you must have it for more and more people,

所以他是在传达一个越来越多人受益，

not just a few people.

不仅仅是一小撮人。

And therefore, ladies and gentlemen,

也因此，女士们先生们，

this is the theme, getting more

这就是主题，

from less for more.

从更少中让更多人得到更多。

And mind you,

而且你要知道，

it is not getting just a little more for just a little less.

这不是从小幅度的减少中获得小幅度的增加。

It's not about low cost.

而是低成本，

It's about ultra-low cost.

这都是关于超低成本。

You cannot say it's a mere treatment 10,000 dollars,

我们不能认为，这个1万美金的治疗

but because you are poor I'll give it for 9,000.

就可以因为你穷而我给你降价到9千。

Sorry, it doesn't work. You have to give it for 100 dollars, 200 dollars.

对不起，这没有用。这必须是100或者200美金。

Is it possible? It has been made possible, by the way,

这可能吗？我一直都在为各种各样的

for certain other different reasons.

理由创造可能性。

So you are not talking about low cost, you are talking about ultra-low cost.

所以当你谈论低成本的时候，你是在谈论超低成本。

You are not talking about affordability,

你不是单纯地讨论负担能力，

you are talking about extreme affordability.

而是超级的负担能力。

Because of the four billion people whose income is under two dollars a day.

因为这些每天收入不多于2美金的4亿人口。

You're not talking exclusive innovation.

你不是单纯地讨论专属的创新，

You're talking about inclusive innovation.

而是包容性的创新。

And therefore, you're not talking about incremental innovation,

也因此，你不是在讨论渐进性创新，

you're talking about disruptive innovation.

而是破坏性创新。

The ideas have to be such

这个主张就是

that you think in completely different terms.

你必须从一个完全不一样的方法想问题。

And I would also add,

我还要增加一点，

it is not only getting more from less for more

这不仅仅是从花费更少中让更多人得到更多，

by more and more people, the whole world working for it.

还是越来越多人甚至是全世界都在为这个目标努力。

I was very touched when I saw a breakthrough the other day.

那天我看到一个突破，感到非常感动。

You know, incubators for infants, for example.

举个例子，婴儿保温箱。

They're not available in Africa.

在非洲是没有的。

They're not available in Indian villages.

在印度的村落里也没有。

And infants die.

然后，婴儿就会死去。

And incubator costs 2,000 dollars.

婴儿保温箱需要花费2千美金。

And there's a 25-dollar incubator

然而却出现了一个25美金的婴儿保温箱，

giving that performance that had been created.

The lens was here. The piece of paper was there. He moved it up and down.

那个凸透镜在这里，一张纸在这里。 他从上到下的移动。

And there was a bright spot up there.

然后有一个亮点在这里。

And then he said, "This is the focal length."

if you do not diffuse your energies,
