Ze Frank's web playroom

譯者: Marie Wu 審譯者: Sunshine Wang

Every presentation needs this slide in it.

每個演說都需要這張投影片。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

It's beautiful, isn't it?

很漂亮，不是嗎？

Do you see?

你看到了嗎？

All the points, all the lines --

那些點和那些線，

it's incredible.

真的很驚人，

It is the network;

這就是網路。

and in my case, the network has been important in media,

在我看來，網路是很重要的媒介，

because I get to connect to people.

因為我得和人們交流。

Isn't it amazing?

很驚人，對吧？

Through that, I connect to people.

我是透過網路和人們交流的，

And the way that I've been doing it

交流的方式

has been multifaceted.

是具有多個面向的。

For example, I get people to dress up their vacuum cleaners.

舉例來說，我會要大家把自己的吸塵器好好裝扮一番，

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

I put together projects like Earth Sandwich,

我還發起了幾個計畫，像是「地球三明治」這個計畫，

where I ask people

我要參與的人

to try and simultaneously place

想辦法同時

two pieces of bread

在地球上完全對應的二個地點，

perfectly opposite each other on the Earth.

放置二片麵包。

And people started laying bread in tribute,

於是大家懷著崇敬的心開始放置他們的麵包，

and eventually a team was able to do it

最後，終於有一組人成功達成了！

between New Zealand and Spain.

他們分別是在紐西蘭和西班牙。

It's pretty incredible -- the video's online.

這真的很神奇！這段影片有放在網路上。

Connecting to people in projects

另外我也發起了其他可以串連起人們的計畫，

like YoungmeNowme for example.

像是「年輕的我，現在的我」，

In YoungmeNowme, the audience was asked

參與計畫的人要把自己

to find a childhood photograph of themselves

年輕時的照片和自己成年後的照片

and restage it as an adult.

並排比對。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

This is the same person --

這是同一個人--

top photo, James, bottom photo, [Jennifer].

上面的是詹姆士，下面的是茱莉亞，

Poignant.

很刺激吧？

This was a Mother's Day gift.

這是母親節的禮物。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

Particularly creepy.

看起來特別詭異。

(Applause)

(掌聲)

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

My favorite of these photos, which I couldn't find,

我最喜歡的照片現在還沒找到，

is there's a picture of a 30 year-old woman or so

我希望看到一張30歲左右的女子照片，

with a little baby on her lap,

有一個小嬰孩躺在她的腿上，

and the next photo is a 220-lb man

另一張則是一個重達100公斤的男人，

with a tiny, little old lady peaking over his shoulder.

有一個小小的老婦人趴在他的肩上。

But this project changed the way

但下面這個計畫，

that I thought about connecting to people.

徹底改變了我對於和人們交流的觀念，

This is project called Ray.

這個計畫叫做「瑞(Ray)」。

And what happened was I was sent this piece of audio

事情是這樣的，我收到一段錄音內容，

and had no idea who generated the audio.

而且完全不知道是誰錄的，

Somebody said, "You have to listen to this."

給我的人只說：「你得聽聽看。」

And this is what came to me.

所以這就是我聽到的：

Recording: Hi, my name is Ray,

錄音內容：嗨，我的名字是瑞，

and on yesterday my daughter called me

昨天我的女兒打電話給我，

because she was stressed out

她的壓力很大，

because of things that were going on on her job

因為工作上的某件事情

that she felt was quite unfair.

讓她覺得很不公平。

Being quite disturbed, she called for comfort,

她心裡很不平靜，希望我能給她安慰，

and I didn't really know what to tell her,

但我不知道該說些什麼才好，

because we have to deal with so much mess in our society.

因為我們在社會上總是得處理一些烏煙瘴氣的事。

So I was led to write this song just for her,

所以我想要為她寫一首歌，

just to give her some encouragement

一首能給她勇氣、

while dealing with stress and pressures on her job.

讓她能處理工作上的壓力的歌。

And I figured I'd put it on the Internet

我想，如果我把這首歌放在網路上，

for all employees under stress

那麼其他在職場上遭遇壓力的員工們，

to help you better deal with what you're going through on your job.

也能妥善地處理自己的壓力。

Here's how the song goes.

這首歌是這樣唱的：

♫ I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫ 我要打某人的屁股 ♫

♫ Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫ 噢，我要去打某人的屁股 ♫

♫ Oh, if you don't leave me alone, ♫

♫ 噢，如果你不走開的話 ♫

♫ you gonna have to send me home ♫

♫ 你就得送我回家 ♫

♫ 'Cause I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫ 因為我要去打某人的屁股 ♫

Now you might not be able to sing that out loud,

你們現在可能不方便大聲唱出來，

but you can hum it to yourself, and you know what the words are.

但你們可以在心裡哼唱，反正你們已經知道歌詞了。

And let it give you some strength to get the next few moments on your job.

希望這首歌能在你的職場上為你帶來力量，

All right. Stay strong. Peace.

好，要堅強、和平哦！

Ze Frank: So -- yeah.

傑．法蘭克：好，

No, no, no, shush. We've got to go quickly.

不，不，不，噓！我們得進行得快一點。

So I was so moved by this --

我被這首歌深深地感動了，

this is incredible. This was connecting, right.

真的很不可思議！這才是和人們交流的方式，對吧？

This was, at a distance,

人和人間隔著一大段距離，

realizing that someone was feeling something,

但卻能感受到彼此的感覺，

wanting to affect them in a particular way,

而你希望以某種特別的方式來感動另一個人，

using media to do it, putting it online

你可以選擇不同的媒介，把它放在網路上，

and realizing that there was a greater impact.

你就會發現所產生的影響有多麼巨大。

This was incredible; this is what I wanted to do.

這真的很驚人！這就是我想要做的！

So the first thing I thought of is we have to thank him.

我想到的第一件事是我得感謝這個人，

And I asked my audience, I said, "Listen to this piece of audio.

所以我問我的聽眾：「聽聽看這段錄音，

We have to remix it. He's got a great voice.

我們得幫它重新配樂，他的聲音太棒了！

It's actually in the key of B flat.

這首歌還定在降B調哩！

And have to do something with it."

我一定要為他做些什麼。」

Hundreds of remixes came back -- lots of different attempts.

數以百計重新配樂後的版本寄回來給我，其中有各式各樣的配樂，

One stood out in particular.

其中有一個版本非常特別，

It was done by a guy named Goose.

是一個叫做古斯的傢伙做的。

Remix: ♫ I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

重新配樂：♫ 我要打某人的屁股 ♫

♫ Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫ 噢，我要去打某人的屁股 ♫

♫ Oh, if you don't leave me alone, ♫

♫ 噢，如果你不走開的話 ♫

♫ You gonna have to send me home ♫

♫ 你就得送我回家 ♫

♫ Cuz I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫ 因為我要去打某人的屁股 ♫

♫ I'm about to whip some ♫ --

♫ 我要打某人的... ♫

ZF: Great, so it was incredible.

法蘭克：太棒了！真的很棒！

That song -- (Applause) Thank you.

這首歌...(掌聲)謝謝！

So that song, somebody told me that it was at a baseball game

有人告訴我，堪薩斯的某場棒球比賽裡

in Kansas City.

曾播放這首歌，

In the end,

於是，

it was one of the top downloads

這首歌登上了

on a whole bunch of music streaming services.

某個音樂下載網站的第一名，

And so I said, "Let's put this together in an album."

所以我說：「我們把這首歌收錄在唱片裡吧！」

And the audience came together, and they designed an album cover.

所有的聽眾都集合起來，一起設計了唱片的封面，

And I said, "If you put it all on this, I'm going to deliver it to him,

我說：「如果你們要收錄這首歌，我就得把唱片送給這個人，

if you can figure out who this person is,"

但你們得先找出這個人是誰才行。」

because all I had was his name -- Ray --

因為我只知道他的名字是瑞，

and this little piece of audio

我也只聽過這段錄音，

and the fact that his daughter was upset.

只知道他的女兒很不開心而已。

In two weeks, they found him.

不到二個星期，他們就找到這個人了，

I received and email and it said,

我收到一封電子郵件，上面說：

"Hi, I'm Ray.

「嗨，我是瑞，

I heard you were looking for me."

聽說你在找我。」

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

And I was like, "Yeah, Ray.

我回答：「對呀，瑞，

It's been an interesting two weeks."

這二個星期很有趣呢！」

And so I flew to St. Louis

因此，我飛去了聖路易，

and met Ray,

去拜訪瑞，

and he's a preacher --

他是個牧師。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

among other things.

他還有做一些其他的事。

So but anyways, here's the thing --

不管怎樣，這張圖

is it reminds me of this,

讓我想到這件事，

which is a sign that you see in Amsterdam on every street corner.

這張圖是你在阿姆斯特丹每個街角都看得到的圖，

And it's sort of a metaphor for me for the virtual world.

對我來說卻像是虛擬世界的某種比喻。

I look at this photo, and he seems really interested

我仔細看了這張圖，裡面的人

in what's going on with that button,

似乎對那個按鈕很感興趣，

but it doesn't seem like he is really that interested in crossing the street.

反而對過馬路這件事沒那麼在意。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

And it makes me think of this.

這讓我聯想到，

On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones,

在每一個街角上，都有人注視著自己的手機，

and it's easy to dismiss this

你可以輕易地把這類行為

as some sort of bad trend

歸類為人類文化中

in human culture.

的壞習慣，

But the truth is

但是，

life is being lived there.

那些人卻自得其樂。

When they smile --

當他們對著手機微笑，

right, you've seen people stop --

你一定有看過有人停下來，

all of a sudden, life is being lived there,

突然間，詭異、擁擠的網路世界

somewhere up in that weird, dense network.

變成了他的真實生活，

And this is it, right, to feel and be felt.

他在那裡才能感受到別人，別人也才能感受到他的存在，

It's the fundamental force

那是我們所追求

that we're all after.

最原始的動力。

We can build all sorts of environments

我們可以創造各式環境

to make it a little bit easier,

讓網路更容易使用，

but ultimately, what we're trying to do

但是，我們所做的其實是

is really connect with one other person.

要讓人們彼此交流，

And that's not always going to happen in physical spaces.

但並不一定要在實體空間裡交流，

It's also going to now happen in virtual spaces,

在虛擬空間裡也可以交流，

and we have to get better at figuring that out.

我們必須體認到這一點。

I think, of the people that build all this technology in the network,

我認為，這麼多人在網路上創造了這麼多新的科技，

a lot of them aren't very good

但這些人並不一定

at connecting with people.

很擅長與別人交流，

This is kind of like something I used to do

這簡直就像是我小學三年級時

in third grade.

會做的事。(你喜歡我嗎？是／否)

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

So here's a series of projects

所以我們在過去幾年

over the last few years

發起了一連串的計畫，

where I've been inspired by trying to figure out

這一切都起因於我想要瞭解

how to really facilitate close connection.

要怎麼讓人們更親密地交流。

Sometimes they're very, very simple things.

有時候，這不過是再簡單不過的事而已。

A Childhood Walk, which is a project

「童年漫步」，在這個計畫裡，

where I ask people to remember a walk

我請參與者回想他們童年時，

that they used to take as a child over and over again

被大人帶著走了一遍又一遍的路，

that was sort of meaningless --

雖然可能不具任何意義，

like on the route to the bus stop, to a neighbor's house,

像是去公車站那段路，或是去鄰居家那段路，

and take it inside of Google Streetview.

但我要他們將這個記憶融入Google的街景中。

And I promise you,

我告訴各位，

if you take that walk inside Google Streetview,

如果你將記憶融入Google街景中，

you come to a moment

你將會體會到在某個時刻，

where something comes back

有某種記憶回來了，

and hits you in the face.

就直接衝進你的大腦裡。

And I collected those moments --

而我，則將這個特別的時刻撿拾起來，

the photos inside Google Streetview

特別是大家針對Google街景

and the memories, specifically.

所引發的記憶。

"Our conversation started with me saying, 'I'm bored,'

「我們的談話是因為我說了一句『我很無聊』而開始的，

and her replying, 'When I'm bored I eat pretzels.'

她的回答是『我無聊的時候會吃椒鹽脆餅』，

I remember this distinctly because it came up a lot."

我的記憶歷歷在目，因為我經常想起這一段對話。」

"Right after he told me and my brother

「就在他告訴我和弟弟

he was going to be separating from my mom,

他要和媽媽離婚之後沒多久，

I remember walking to a convenience store

我記得我走到便利商店，

and getting a cherry cola."

買了一罐櫻桃可樂。」

"They used some of the morbidly artist footage,

「他們的畫法有點像病態藝術家所畫的足印，

a close-up of Chad's shoes in the middle of the highway.

查德的鞋印被特寫畫在在高速公速中間，

I guess the shoes came off when he was hit.

我猜是在他被撞後掉在那裡的。

He slept over at my house once, and he left his pillow.

他有一次睡在我家，枕頭還留在我家，

It had 'Chad' written in magic marker on it.

上面還有用奇異筆寫著「查德」的痕跡，

He died long after he left the pillow at my house,

雖然他在離開我家很久以後才去世，

but we never got around to returning it."

但我們再也沒有機會可以把枕頭還給他了。」

Sometimes they're a little bit more abstract.

有時人們的表達方式比較抽象，

This is Pain Pack.

這是「痛苦背包」，

Right after September 11th, last year,

是我們在去年9月11日之後所發起的計畫，

I was thinking about pain and the way that we disperse it,

我那時在思考有關痛苦以及人們如何去排解痛苦，

the way that we excise it from our bodies.

甚至如何將痛苦抒發出來。

So what I did is I opened up a hotline --

所以我就開啟了一條電話專線，

a hotline where people could leave voicemails of their pain,

人們可以打這支專線，將他們的痛苦留在語音信箱裡，

not necessarily related to that event.

但並不一定要和911事件相關。

And people called in and left messages like this.

人們打進來的留言是：

Recording: Okay, here's something.

電話錄音：好，我想說一件事，

I'm not alone,

我並不孤單，

and I am loved.

也有人愛我，

I'm really fortunate.

我真的很幸運。

But sometimes I feel really lonely.

但有時我真的覺得自己孤單一人，

And when I feel that way

每當我有這種感覺時，

even the smallest act of kindness

即使別人對我做出極微小的友善行為，

can make me cry.

也會讓我哭泣。

Like even people in convenience stores

就像有人在便利商店裡不經意地與我對望，

saying, "Have a nice day,"

然後對我說聲：

when they're accidentally looking me in the eye.

「祝你有愉快的一天。」

ZF: So what I did was I took those voicemails,

法蘭：我所做的，是把這些留言蒐集起來，

and with their permission, converted them to MP3s

徵詢留言者的意見，把留言轉錄成MP3，

and distributed them to sound editors

發送給音效師們，

who created short sounds

讓他們可以利用這些留言

using just those voicemails.

創造出一些音效。

And those were then distributed to DJs

最後，這些音效會被分送給DJ們，

who have made hundreds of songs

他們會利用這些聲音素材

using that source material.

編寫出無數的歌曲。

(Music)

(音樂)

We don't have time to play much of it.

我們沒有太多時間可以播放太多內容，

You can look at it online.

你們可以自行上網去收聽這些內容。

"From 52 to 48 with love"

「用愛祝福52比48」

was a project around the time of the last election cycle,

是我們在上次總統大選後所發起的計畫，

where McCain and Obama both,

當時麥坎和歐巴馬二人

in their speeches after the election, talked about reconciliation,

都在大選後的演說中提到要族群和解，

and I was like, "What the hell

我心裡想：「那到底是

does that look like?"

什麼玩意兒？」

So I thought, "Well let's just give it a try.

但我又想：「我們就來試試看吧！

Let's have people hold up signs about reconciliation."

叫大家舉起族群和解的標誌來看看吧！」

And so some really nice things came together.

接下來我們就看到一些還真的不錯的東西出現了：

"I voted blue. I voted red.

「我投藍，我投紅，

Together, for our future."

一起為我們的未來努力。」

These are very, very cute little things right.

這些真的很可愛。

Some came from the winning party.

贏的那一方有人留下這個畫面：

"Dear 48, I promise to listen to you, to fight for you, to respect you always."

「親愛的48，我答應會傾聽你的心聲，為你奮鬥，也永遠尊重你的決定。」

Some came from the party who had just lost.

輸掉的陣營則有人留下這個畫面：

"From a 48 to a 52, may your party's leadership be as classy as you,

「48致52：希望你們的領袖都能像你們一樣有格調，

but I doubt it."

但我很懷疑。」

But the truth was that as this start becoming popular,

在這股風潮逐漸流行了起來之後，

a couple rightwing blogs and some message boards

我也發現，有些右翼的

apparently found it to be a little patronizing,

部落格或訊息版開始認為

which I could also see.

我們太囂張了，

And so I started getting amazing amounts of hate mail,

我就因此受到牽連，接到非常多的憤怒信函，

death threats even.

有些還威脅要我死。

And one guy in particular kept on writing me these pretty awful messages,

有一個傢伙還特別一直寫一些很糟糕的信給我，

and he was dressed as Batman.

他把自己打扮得像個蝙蝠俠，

And he said, "I'm dressed as Batman to hide my identity."

他說：「我打扮成蝙蝠俠是為了不以真面目示人。」

Just in case I thought the real Batman

或許他怕我會以為是真的

was coming after me;

蝙蝠俠在追我，

which actually made me feel a little better --

這真的讓我好過多了，

like, "Phew, it's not him."

我心想：「好險，不是他！」

So what I did --

我所做的...

unfortunately, I was harboring all this kind of

不幸的是，我總是把這類

awful experience and this pain inside of me,

不好的痛苦經驗隱藏起來，

and it started to eat away at my psyche.

耗費了我許多精神。

And I was protecting the project from it, I realized. I was protecting it --

我發現我是在保護這個計畫，我想保護這個計畫，

I didn't want this special, little group of photographs

我不希望這些特別的照片

to get sullied in some way.

被別人玷污，

So what I did, I took all those emails,

所以我把這些電子郵件

and I put them together into something called Angrigami,

全都蒐集起來，放進一個叫做「憤怒摺紙社(Angrigami)」的網站，

which was an origami template

用這些憤怒的信函

made out of this sort of vile stuff.

做成摺紙的型態。

And I asked people to send me beautiful things

我請大家用「憤怒摺紙社」裡的材料，

made out of the Angrigami.

幫我摺出些美麗的成品。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

But this was the emotional moment.

這些真的很感人。

One of my viewer's uncles died on a particular day

我的一位讀者的舅舅在某個特別的日子裡去世了，

and he chose to commemorate it with a piece of hate.

他選擇以一份憤怒的摺紙來紀念他，

It's amazing.

這真的很特別！

The last thing I'm going to tell you about is a series of projects

最後，我想要告訴各位有關「你所熟知的歌曲」

called Songs You Already Know,

的一連串計畫，

where the idea was,

這個計畫的構想是

I was trying to figure out to address

希望集眾人之力，

particular kinds of emotions with group projects.

表達出某種特殊的情感。

So one of them was fairly straightforward.

其中的一個計畫非常直接，

A guy said that his daughter got scared at night

有個傢伙說他的女兒在晚上睡覺時被嚇到了，

and could I write a song for her, his daughter.

問我是否能幫她的女兒寫一首歌，

And I said, "Oh yeah,

我說，沒問題，

I'll try to write a mantra that she can sing to herself

我想我會寫一首類似祈禱文的歌，讓她可以唱給自己聽，

to help herself go to sleep."

幫助她進入夢鄉。

And this was "Scared."

這首歌叫做「害怕」：

(Video) ♫ This is a song that I sing when I'm scared of something ♫

(影片)♫ 每當我害怕我就唱這首歌 ♫

♫ I don't know why but it helps me get over it ♫

♫ 不知為何，這首歌能幫我克服恐懼 ♫

♫ The words of the song just move me along ♫

♫ 歌詞能帶給我前進的力量 ♫

♫ And somehow I get over it ♫

♫ 我就能克服恐懼 ♫

♫ At least I don't suck at life ♫

♫ 至少我不再覺得生活很糟 ♫

♫ I keep on trying despite ♫

♫ 我反而會儘力嚐試 ♫

♫ At least I don't suck at life ♫

♫ 至少我不再覺得生活很糟 ♫

♫ I keep on trying despite ♫

♫ 我反而會儘力嚐試 ♫

♫ This is a song that I sing when I'm scared of something ♫

♫ 每當我害怕我就唱這首歌 ♫

Okay, so I wrote that song, right. Thank you.

對，我寫了這首歌，謝謝！

So the nice thing was is he walked by his daughter's room at some point,

好消息是，有次當他走過他女兒的房間時，

and she actually was singing that song to herself.

她真的在對自己唱那首歌，

So I was like, "Awesome. This is great."

我心想：「哇！太棒了！」

And then I got this email. And there's a little bit of a back story to this.

然後我就收到這封電子郵件，他說明了之前的一些狀況，

And I don't have much time.

但我現在沒有足夠的時間可以唸出來。

But the idea was that at one point

這次的經驗

I did a project called Facebook Me Equals You,

促使我做了下一個計畫，叫做「讓我在Facebook變成你」，

where I wanted to experience what it was like

我希望體驗一下

to live as another person.

別人的生活是怎麼過的。

So I asked for people's usernames and passwords to be sent to me.

所以我徵求志願將用戶名稱和密碼交給我的人，

And I got a lot, like 30 in a half an hour.

在一個半小時內我就收到了30個志願者的來信，

And I shut that part down.

我只好先將這部分網站關閉。

And I chose two people to be,

後來我選擇了其中二個人，我想變成他們，

and I asked them to send me descriptions

所以我請他們告訴我

of how to act as them on Facebook.

要怎麼樣在Facebook上扮演他們的角色，

One person sent me a very detailed description;

有一個人寫了一長串詳細的內容給我，

the other person didn't.

另一個人則沒有。

And the person who didn't, it turned out,

我發現沒有提供我資料的那個人，

had just moved to a new city and taken on a new job.

其實剛剛搬到另外一個城市去接受另一份新的工作，

So, you know, people were writing me and saying, "How's your new job?"

然後我就接到有人寫信給我說：「你的新工作還好吧？」

I was like, "I don't know.

我只好回答：「我不知道耶...

Didn't know I had one."

我有換工作嗎？」

But anyway, this same person, Laura,

最後，這個換工作的人，也就是蘿拉，

ended up emailing me a little bit after that project.

在這個計畫結束之後寄了一些郵件給我，

And I felt badly for not having done a good job.

我覺得很不好意思，因為我沒有把她的角色扮演好。

And she said, "I'm really anxious, I just moved to a new town, I have this new job,

但她說：「我覺得很焦慮，我剛搬到這個新城市，又換了新工作，

and I've just had this incredible amount of anxiety."

我的焦慮感真的很強烈。」

So she had seen the "Scared" song and wondered if I could do something.

她聽過「害怕」這首歌，所以她問我是否能幫忙，

So I asked her, "What does it feel like when you feel this way?"

所以我問她：「當你焦慮的時候，你有什麼感覺？」

And she wrote a sort of descriptive set

她就把她焦慮的時候

of what it felt like to have had this anxiety.

所感覺到的想法寫了出來，

And so what I decided to do.

於是我就決定幫忙她。

I said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

我說：「我會考慮看看。」

And so quietly in the background, I started sending people this.

我悄悄地製作了一份錄音，並寄給許多人：

(Audio) ♫ Hey ♫

(錄音內容)♫ 嘿 ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ 你可以的 ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ 你會沒事 ♫

So I asked people

我詢問這些人

whether they had basic audio capabilities,

看他們有沒有一些基本的錄音設備，

just so they could sing along to the song with headphones on,

好讓他們在聽著耳機一邊唱的時候，

so I could just get their voices back.

把聲音錄下來寄回給我。

And this is the kind of thing that I got back.

我收到寄回來的錄音是：

Recording: ♫ Hey ♫

錄音內容：♫ 嘿 ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ 你可以的 ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ 你會沒事 ♫

ZF: So that's one of the better ones, really.

法蘭克：這真的是其中比較好的，

But what's awesome is, as I started getting more and more and more of them,

最棒的是，當我收到愈來愈多、愈來愈多的回覆後，

all of a sudden I had 30, 40 voices from around the world.

我發現我收到來自世界各地30到40種不同的聲音，

And when you put them together, something magical happens,

把他們放在一起之後，就會產生奇妙的事情，

something absolutely incredible happens,

真的很不可思議，

and all of a sudden I get a chorus from around the world.

就像是集合了全世界各地人聲的合唱團一樣。

And what was really great is, I'm putting all this work together in the background,

最棒的在後面，當我把大家的聲音混合在一起時，

and Laura sent me a follow-up email because a good month had passed by.

一個月過去了，蘿拉又寄了一封信來詢問進度，

And she said, "I know you've forgotten about me.

她說：「我想你大概已經忘記我了吧，

I just want to say thanks for even considering it."
