Thoughts on humanity, fame and love | Shah Rukh Khan | TED

譯者: Aaron Shoo 審譯者: Marssi Draw

Namaskar.

大家好。

I'm a movie star, I'm 51 years of age,

我是電影明星，今年 51 歲。

and I don't use Botox as yet.

還沒打過肉毒桿菌。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So I'm clean, but I do behave like you saw like a 21-year-old in my movies.

儘管如此，如各位所見，

我戲裡戲外都當自己 21 歲。

沒錯。

Yeah, I do that.

身為明星，我賣夢想和愛情

I sell dreams, and I peddle love to millions of people back home in India

給我廣大的印度同胞。

who assume that I'm the best lover in the world.

他們都覺得我是夢中情人。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

If you don't tell anyone, I'm going to tell you I'm not,

偷偷告訴你，我不是大情聖。

但我寧願大家繼續誤會。

but I never let that assumption go away.

（笑聲）

(Laughter)

I've also been made to understand

我也聽說，

在座很多人沒看過我的作品，

there are lots of you here who haven't seen my work,

and I feel really sad for you.

你們虧大了。

（笑聲）

(Laughter)

(Applause)

（掌聲）

That doesn't take away from the fact that I'm completely self-obsessed,

大家應該已經發現，

我跟其他巨星一樣自戀。

as a movie star should be.

（笑聲）

(Laughter)

That's when my friends, Chris and Juliet called me here

所以儘管我的朋友，

克里斯和茱麗葉找我來，

要聊未來的「你們」，

to speak about the future "you."

Naturally, it follows I'm going to speak about the present me.

但我要先講現在的我。

（笑聲）

(Laughter)

畢竟人類的發展，

Because I truly believe that humanity is a lot like me.

就展現在我身上。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

It is. It is.

真的。

It's an aging movie star,

它像我這個老影星，

grappling with all the newness around itself,

每天有新的體會，

wondering whether it got it right in the first place,

又擔心自己根基不良，

and still trying to find a way

卻還是想要走上正途。

to keep on shining regardless.

I was born in a refugee colony in the capital city of India, New Delhi.

我出生於首都新德里的難民營。

And my father was a freedom fighter.

我爸是人權鬥士。

My mother was, well, just a fighter like mothers are.

我媽就像其他媽媽一樣 每天都在戰鬥。

And much like the original homo sapiens,

就像原始人一樣，

we struggled to survive.

我們的生活很苦。

When I was in my early 20s,

我 20 歲出頭的時候，

I lost both my parents,

爸媽就過世了。

which I must admit seems a bit careless of me now,

我其實早就不難過了，

但是……

but --

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I do remember the night my father died,

我記得我爸過世那晚，

and I remember the driver of a neighbor who was driving us to the hospital.

是一個鄰居載我們到醫院。

He mumbled something about "dead people don't tip so well"

他碎念「死人的小費賺不到」，

and walked away into the dark.

然後就不見了。

And I was only 14 then,

我那年才 14 歲。

and I put my father's dead body in the back seat of the car,

我把我爸的遺體放在後座。

and my mother besides me,

我媽坐副駕，

I started driving back from the hospital to the house.

我開車從醫院要回家。

And in the middle of her quiet crying, my mother looked at me and she said,

我媽默默哭到一半，轉頭問我，

"Son, when did you learn to drive?"

「兒子，你怎麼會開車？」

And I thought about it and realized, and I said to my mom,

我想了一下，回她，

"Just now, Mom."

「剛剛學會的。」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So from that night onwards,

那天晚上之後，

much akin to humanity in its adolescence,

就像進入青春期，

I learned the crude tools of survival.

我被迫要奮力求生，

And the framework of life was very, very simple then, to be honest.

老實說那種生活很簡單。

You know, you just ate what you got

反正有什麼就吃什麼，

and did whatever you were told to do.

人家交代你就照做。

I thought celiac was a vegetable,

我以為「乳糜瀉 (celiac)」 是一種蔬菜，

and vegan, of course, was Mr. Spock's lost comrade in "Star Trek."

「全素食 (vegan)」是 星際迷航記的「瓦肯族 (Vulcan)」。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

You married the first girl that you dated,

以為會和初戀相守一生，

and you were a techie if you could fix the carburetor in your car.

以為會修化油器就是汽車專家。

I really thought that gay was a sophisticated English word for happy.

以為「同性戀 (gay)」 只是「開心」的優雅講法，

And Lesbian, of course, was the capital of Portugal, as you all know.

誤以為「女同志 (lesbian)」 是葡萄牙首都里斯本 (Lisbon)。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Where was I?

扯遠了。

We relied on systems

庇護我們的生活體制，

created through the toil and sacrifice of generations before

是先人用血汗打拼出來的成果。

to protect us,

and we felt that governments actually worked for our betterment.

相信政府會為人民福祉努力。

Science was simple and logical,

科學單純又有邏輯，

Apple was still then just a fruit

蘋果還只是一種水果，

owned by Eve first and then Newton,

先被夏娃咬一口，再砸到牛頓，

not by Steve Jobs, until then.

而不是賈伯斯的品牌。

And "Eureka!" was what you screamed

阿基米德大叫「我知道了！」

when you wanted to run naked on the streets.

只是在街上裸奔的藉口。

You went wherever life took you for work,

你為了工作隨遇而安，

and people were mostly welcoming of you.

大家都對你很和善。

Migration was a term then

「遷徙」只用來形容白鶴，

still reserved for Siberian cranes, not human beings.

而不是難民。

Most importantly, you were who you were

更重要的是，你可以做自己，

and you said what you thought.

想到什麼說什麼。

Then in my late 20s,

將近 30 歲時，

I shifted to the sprawling metropolis of Mumbai,

我搬到了繁華的孟買。

and my framework,

我的人生，

like the newly industrialized aspirational humanity,

就像人類進入工業革命，

began to alter.

開始劇變。

In the urban rush for a new, more embellished survival,

要在變化萬千的城市求生存，

things started to look a little different.

一切都變得不一樣了。

I met people who had descended from all over the world,

我遇見來自世界各地的人，

faces, races, genders, money-lenders.

不同面孔、種族、性別、財富。

Definitions became more and more fluid.

我的價值觀開始改變。

Work began to define you at that time

職業變成一種標準，

in an overwhelmingly equalizing manner,

定義你是什麼樣的人。

and all the systems started to feel less reliable to me,

其他一切都變得不可靠，

almost too thick to hold on

完全無法解釋人的多樣性，

to the diversity of mankind

and the human need to progress and grow.

我們要不斷進步、成長。

Ideas were flowing with more freedom and speed.

許多想法更自由、更迅速傳遞。

And I experienced the miracle of human innovation and cooperation,

我也體會到，

創新、合作的奇蹟。

and my own creativity,

還有我的創意。

when supported by the resourcefulness of this collective endeavor,

我得到的這些支持和資源，

catapulted me into superstardom.

將我推上巨星的位置。

I started to feel that I had arrived,

我覺得我成功了。

and generally, by the time I was 40, I was really, really flying.

40 歲時，我簡直身處雲端。

I was all over the place.

我變得無所不在。

You know? I'd done 50 films by then

我拍了 50 部電影，

and 200 songs,

唱了 200 首歌，

and I'd been knighted by the Malaysians.

被馬來西亞封銜。

I had been given the highest civil honor by the French government,

法國頒給我平民的最高榮譽，

the title of which for the life of me I can't pronounce even until now.

雖然我至今唸不出那個頭銜。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I'm sorry, France, and thank you, France, for doing that.

法國對不起，還是謝謝你的獎。

But much bigger than that, I got to meet Angelina Jolie --

更重要的是， 我還因此遇見安潔莉娜裘莉，

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

for two and a half seconds.

雖然只有兩秒半。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And I'm sure she also remembers that encounter somewhere.

她一定也記得我倆曾相遇。

OK, maybe not.

也可能沒有。

And I sat next to Hannah Montana on a round dinner table

我還和孟漢娜同桌共進晚餐，

with her back towards me most of the time.

雖然她幾乎都背對著我。

Like I said, I was flying, from Miley to Jolie,

我的事業來到頂點，

and humanity was soaring with me.

人類社會也在黃金歲月。

We were both pretty much flying off the handle, actually.

我們都處在巔峰。

And then you all know what happened.

接下來的發展各位都知道。

The internet happened.

網路出現了。

I was in my late 40s,

我快要 50 歲的時候，

and I started tweeting like a canary in a birdcage

默默玩起推特，

and assuming that, you know, people who peered into my world

期待外人有興趣一窺我的世界，

would admire it

for the miracle I believed it to be.

欣賞我所相信的奇蹟。

But something else awaited me and humanity.

但事情不如我所料。

You know, we had expected an expansion of ideas and dreams

我們以為想法和夢想，

with the enhanced connectivity of the world.

會隨著網路擴散出去。

We had not bargained for the village-like enclosure of thought,

但網路的負面影響：

故步自封的愚見、

of judgment, of definition

論斷、貼標籤，

that flowed from the same place

蓋過了它的好處：

that freedom and revolution was taking place in.

自由解放和思想革命。

Everything I said took a new meaning.

我說的話被扭曲，

Everything I did -- good, bad, ugly --

我做過的事，無論好壞美醜，

was there for the world to comment upon and judge.

都被攤在陽光下公評。

As a matter of fact, everything I didn't say or do also

連我沒做的事、沒說的話，

met with the same fate.

也面臨同樣的命運。

Four years ago,

四年前，

my lovely wife Gauri and me decided to have a third child.

我和我太太高麗生了第三胎。

It was claimed on the net

結果網路上竟然說，

that he was the love child

那是我大兒子的私生子。

of our first child

who was 15 years old.

我大兒子才 15 歲。

Apparently, he had sown his wild oats with a girl

狗仔說他開女友的車，

while driving her car in Romania.

在羅馬尼亞搞車震。

And yeah, there was a fake video to go with it.

還流出一段假影片。

And we were so disturbed as a family.

我們全家不堪其擾。

My son, who is 19 now,

我兒子現在 19 歲，

even now when you say "hello" to him,

現在跟他打招呼，

he just turns around and says,

他都會馬上說：

"But bro, I didn't even have a European driving license."

「我根本沒有歐洲駕照。」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Yeah.

In this new world,

在這個嶄新世界，

slowly, reality became virtual and virtual became real,

真假變得難以區分。

and I started to feel

我開始覺得，

that I could not be who I wanted to be or say what I actually thought,

我不能做自己，也不能暢所欲言，

and humanity at this time

此時的人類社會，

completely identified with me.

就跟我一模一樣。

I think both of us were going through our midlife crisis,

這就是中年危機吧。

and humanity, like me, was becoming an overexposed prima donna.

人類社會和我都沒有底線了。

I started to sell everything,

我開始什麼都賣，

from hair oil to diesel generators.

從髮油到柴油發電機。

Humanity was buying everything

人類也是什麼都買，

from crude oil to nuclear reactors.

從原油到核子反應爐。

You know, I even tried to get into a skintight superhero suit

我一度想要穿緊身衣，

to reinvent myself.

重新雕塑身材。

I must admit I failed miserably.

我承認，那是大失敗。

And just an aside I want to say on behalf of all the Batmen, Spider-Men

打個岔，

我想幫蝙蝠俠、蜘蛛人、超人說，

and Supermen of the world,

請給他們一點掌聲，

you have to commend them,

because it really hurts in the crotch, that superhero suit.

因為穿超人裝胯下超痛。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Yeah, I'm being honest. I need to tell you this here.

我忍不住要提一下。

Really.

真的很痛。

我碰巧發明了新舞步，

And accidentally, I happened to even invent a new dance form

which I didn't realize, and it became a rage.

無意間還造成一股風潮。

So if it's all right,

不介意的話，

and you've seen a bit of me, so I'm quite shameless, I'll show you.

你們也知道我厚臉皮，讓我現一下，

這叫做「隆基舞」。

It was called the Lungi dance.

So if it's all right, I'll just show you. I'm talented otherwise.

我要秀兩招。

雖然沒有很厲害。

(Cheers)

（歡呼聲）

So it went something like this.

跳起來是這樣的。

Lungi dance. Lungi dance. Lungi dance. Lungi dance.

隆基、隆基……

Lungi dance. Lungi dance. Lungi dance. Lungi dance.

Lungi dance. Lungi dance. Lungi dance. Lungi.

That's it. It became a rage.

超級流行。

(Cheers)

（歡呼聲）

It really did.

真的很紅。

Like you notice, nobody could make any sense of what was happening except me,

除了我之外， 沒人知道發生什麼事。

and I didn't give a damn, really,

但我根本不在乎。

because the whole world, and whole humanity,

因為整個世界、全人類，

seemed as confused and lost as I was.

跟我一樣茫然失措。

I didn't give up then.

但我沒有放棄。

I even tried to reconstruct my identity on the social media

我試圖在社群媒體上重建自我，

like everyone else does.

就跟大家一樣。

I thought if I put on philosophical tweets out there

我以為寫一些有哲理的推特，

people will think I'm with it,

大家應該會覺得我有內涵，

but some of the responses I got from those tweets

但我收到的一些回文，

were extremely confusing acronyms which I didn't understand. You know?

都是我完全看不懂的縮寫。

比如 ROFL（笑死我了）、 LOL（大笑）。

ROFL, LOL.

"Adidas," somebody wrote back to one of my more thought-provoking tweets

有一篇深度文被回 「Adidas（愛迪達）」，

and I was wondering why would you name a sneaker,

我不懂留「愛迪達」是什麼意思，

I mean, why would you write back the name of a sneaker to me?

幹嘛在底下回運動品牌？

我問我 16 歲的女兒，

And I asked my 16-year-old daughter, and she enlightened me.

她跟我說，

那是「整天只想愛愛」的縮寫。

"Adidas" now means "All day I dream about sex."

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Really.

還真不知道。

I didn't know if you know that.

你們知道這個嗎？

So I wrote back, "WTF" in bold to Mr. Adidas,

所以我就回他 WTF（搞屁）。

thanking secretly that some acronyms and things won't change at all.

好險我還知道幾個縮寫。

WTF.

搞屁啊。

總之如此。

But here we are.

I am 51 years old, like I told you,

如我所說，我已經 51 歲，

and mind-numbing acronyms notwithstanding,

還學了那些荒謬的縮寫，

I just want to tell you

只想跟各位說，

if there has been a momentous time for humanity to exist,

如果人類有那麼一刻真實存在，

it is now,

就是現在了。

because the present you is brave.

因為現在的你是勇敢的，

The present you is hopeful.

現在的你是充滿希望的。

The present you is innovative and resourceful,

現在的你有創意又有機智，

and of course, the present you is annoyingly indefinable.

而且現在的你充滿無限可能。

And in this spell-binding,

此時這個迷人又不完美的存在，

imperfect moment of existence,

feeling a little brave just before I came here,

讓我更有勇氣，

I decided to take a good, hard look at my face.

決定好好凝視我的面容。

And I realized that I'm beginning to look more and more

然後我越看越仔細，

like the wax statue of me at Madame Tussaud's.

像在看我本人的蠟像。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Yeah, and in that moment of realization,

此刻我靈光一閃，

I asked the most central and pertinent question to humanity and me:

問全人類和我自己最關鍵的問題：

Do I need to fix my face?

我需要進廠維修嗎？

Really. I'm an actor, like I told you,

我畢竟是個演員，

a modern expression of human creativity.

是人類創意的現代展現。

The land I come from

我的家鄉印度，

is the source of inexplicable but very simple spirituality.

是神祕卻又單純的靈性之地。

In its immense generosity,

可能基於慷慨無私，

India decided somehow

印度不知怎地決定，

that I, the Muslim son of a broke freedom fighter

讓我一個穆斯林自由鬥士之子，

who accidentally ventured into the business of selling dreams,

進入帶給大眾夢想的產業，

should become its king of romance,

贏得「浪漫之王」、

the "Badhshah of Bollywood,"

「寶萊塢天王」、

the greatest lover the country has ever seen ...

「印度史上最偉大情聖」的稱號。

with this face.

靠這張臉？

Yeah.

（笑聲）

(Laughter)

有人說醜、不帥、很奇怪、

Which has alternately been described as ugly, unconventional,

and strangely, not chocolatey enough.

不夠黝黑？

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

The people of this ancient land

要感謝我的鄉親，

embraced me in their limitless love,

用無私的愛包容我。

and I've learned from these people

我從他們身上學到，

that neither power nor poverty

權勢也好，貧困也罷，

can make your life more magical

生活不會因此改變，

or less tortuous.

或是少點波折。

I've learned from the people of my country

我從印度人身上學到，

that the dignity of a life,

生命、身而為人、

a human being, a culture, a religion, a country

一個文化、一個宗教、 一個國家的品性，

actually resides in its ability

取決於他們有沒有能力，

for grace and compassion.

去包容和同理。

I've learned that whatever moves you,

無論你受到什麼感動，

whatever urges you to create, to build,

受到什麼刺激而創造，

whatever keeps you from failing,

力爭上游不認輸，

whatever helps you survive,

咬著牙也硬撐下去，

is perhaps the oldest and the simplest emotion known to mankind,

可能就是這個 最古老單純的情緒，

and that is love.

那就是「愛」。

A mystic poet from my land famously wrote,

印度有一首古詩寫道：

(Recites poem in Hindi)

（印度語詩句）

(Poem ends)

Which loosely translates into that whatever --

翻成中文大概的意思就是，

不管是……

yeah, if you know Hindi, please clap, yeah.

如果你懂印度語，可以先鼓掌。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

It's very difficult to remember.

真的很難背。

Which loosely translates into actually saying

翻成中文大概的意思就是，

that all the books of knowledge that you might read

你可能學富五車，

and then go ahead and impart your knowledge

把知識應用在

through innovation, through creativity, through technology,

創新、創意、科技。

but mankind will never be the wiser about its future

但人類的發展有限，

unless it is coupled with a sense of love and compassion for their fellow beings.

除非我們對他人保有一顆

慈愛關懷的心。

The two and a half alphabets which form the word "प्रेम,"

印度字的「प्रेम」，

是「愛」的意思。

which means "love,"

if you are able to understand that

如果你剛好了解愛，

and practice it,

並身體力行，

that itself is enough to enlighten mankind.

就足以啟發全人類。

So I truly believe the future "you"

所以我深信未來的「你們」

has to be a you that loves.

必須有能力去愛。

Otherwise it will cease to flourish.

不然我們不會進步，

It will perish in its own self-absorption.

反而會被自私自利摧毀。

So you may use your power

你可以浪費力氣，

to build walls

築起高牆，

and keep people outside,

把一切擋在牆外；

or you may use it to break barriers and welcome them in.

或努力打破藩籬，擁抱世界。

You may use your faith

你可以用信仰，

to make people afraid

令人生畏，

and terrify them into submission,

讓人不得不低頭；

or you can use it to give courage to people

你也能用信仰給人勇氣，

so they rise to the greatest heights of enlightenment.

讓他們獲得啟發、向上提升。

You can use your energy

你可以用能源

to build nuclear bombs and spread the darkness of destruction,

製造核彈，將世界毀於一旦；

or you can use it to spread the joy of light to millions.

或用來點亮無數燈火、帶來喜悅。

You may filthy up the oceans callously and cut down all the forests.

你大可汙染海洋、砍光森林，

You can destroy the ecology,

把生態破壞殆盡；

or turn to them with love

或是用愛灌溉，

and regenerate life from the waters and trees.

在清水和樹苗間重現生機。

You may land on Mars

有朝一日登上火星，

and build armed citadels,

你要建造軍事要塞，

or you may look for life-forms and species to learn from and respect.

還是尋找外星生命、物種，

互相學習、尊重？

And you can use all the moneys we all have earned

我們辛苦賺來的財富，

to wage futile wars

可以發動無用的戰爭，

and give guns in the hands of little children

讓小孩子拿起槍枝，

to kill each other with,

自相殘殺；

or you can use it

還是換個方式，

to make more food

去創造更多食物，

讓他們得以溫飽。

to fill their stomachs with.

My country has taught me

印度讓我學到，

the capacity for a human being to love is akin to godliness.

愛人的能力才是神的旨意。

It shines forth in a world

愛照亮這個

which civilization, I think, already has tampered too much with.

已經沒有文明可言的世界。

In the last few days, the talks here, the wonderful people

這幾天在這裡的演講，

很多講者帶來各種精彩分享：

coming and showing their talent,

個人成就、創新、科技、科學，

talking about individual achievements, the innovation, the technology,

the sciences, the knowledge we are gaining by being here

坐在臺下就學到好多知識。

in the presence of TED Talks and all of you

歸功於 TED 平臺 和你們的支持，

are reasons enough for us to celebrate the future "us."

人類的未來還是很有希望。

But within that celebration

但要記得，

the quest to cultivate our capacity for love and compassion

培養關愛和同理的能力，

has to assert itself, has to assert itself,

讓它們得以展現，

just as equally.

缺一不可。

So I believe the future "you"

我相信未來的各位，

is an infinite you.

充滿無限可能。

It's called a chakra in India, like a circle.

就像印度人說的「脈輪」，

It ends where it begins from to complete itself.

周而復始、不斷循環。

A you that perceives time and space differently

你分別去感受時空，

understands both

了解箇中奧妙。

your unimaginable

你不可限量、

and fantastic importance

覺得自己無比重要，

and your complete unimportance in the larger context of the universe.

但對比浩瀚宇宙，

你又顯得那麼微不足道。

A you that returns back

當你反求諸己，

to the original innocence of humanity,

回到人性的根本：

which loves from the purity of heart,

用單純的心去愛、

which sees from the eyes of truth,

用真誠的眼去看、

which dreams from the clarity of an untampered mind.

用未被汙染、

純淨的心智去夢想。

未來的「你們」要像

The future "you" has to be

like an aging movie star

我這老去的電影明星。

who has been made to believe that there is a possibility

用我的經驗告訴你，

of a world which is completely,

還是有機會讓世界，

毫無保留地愛上自己。

wholly, self-obsessively

in love with itself.

A world -- really, it has to be a you

需要大家一起，

to create a world

讓這個世界，

which is its own best lover.

當自己最好的情人。

That I believe, ladies and gentlemen,

我相信這才是未來的「你們」。

should be the future "you."

Thank you very much.

謝謝。

Shukriya.

感恩。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Thank you.

謝謝。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Thank you.

謝謝。

(Applause)

（掌聲）
