about the meaning of technology,

which goes perfectly with this gathering.

I started thinking about -- when I was in college,

You had to go to the library,

see if you could get them to find the books for you,

看看你能不能麻煩別人幫你找到你要的書籍，

you know, footnotes and all that.

Now you can just go on Google. Just look it up.

I wish I had that when I was in college.

This next song is a song

接下來這首歌

that started out as a dream -- a childhood dream.

來自一個夢境 --- 一個兒時的夢。

It was one of the titles

它的歌名

that I was sort of thinking about calling my record,

是我設想裏的專輯名之一

except there's a couple of problems.

除了有幾個問題

One thing is, it's unpronounceable.

一個是它很難發音。

And it's a made-up word.

It's called "Tembererana."

它叫“彈撥若然娜”。

And the song is based on

這首歌的基礎

what I think was my first

我覺得是我的第一次

childhood attempts

to think about invisible forces.

去思索看不見的力量。

So "tembererana" was these dreams,

所以“彈撥若然娜”就是這些夢境

in which I would be running away

在夢中，我想從

from bad feelings -- is the only way I can put it.

壞情緒中逃走 -- 我只能這樣去表達它。

So this is called "Tembererana."

所以這就是我的“彈撥若然娜”。

It's based on an Argentinian rhythm

它以一個阿根廷韻調為基礎

called "carnivalito."

一個小型嘉年華的韻調。
