Well, Einstein is very honored to be here at TED 2006,

amongst all you modern-day Einsteins.

能身處你們這些現代愛因斯坦的行列中，她真的很興奮。

In fact, she's very excited.

E: Woo.

愛鸚斯坦：唔！( 好棒喔)

SW: Yeah.

白小姐：耶~

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

Since we've arrived, there's been a constant buzz

我們到達這裡之後，就持續聽到有關

about all the exciting speakers here for the conference.

許多知名的講者會出現在這次會議中的傳言。

This morning we've heard a lot of whispers about Tom O'Reilly's wrap-up on Saturday.

星期六將由Tom Reilly作總結。愛鸚斯坦，你有聽到哪些傳言嗎？

Einstein, did you hear whispers?

E: [Squawks]

愛鸚斯坦: 嘰哩呱啦...嘰哩呱啦 (傳言一大堆喔)

SW: Yeah.

白小姐:是啊。

(Laughter)

( 聽眾笑聲 )

Einstein's especially interested in Penelope's talk.

白小姐：愛鸚斯坦對於Penelop的演講最有興趣，

她的許多研究是在灰塵很多的洞穴裡進行的。

A lot of her research goes on in case, which can get pretty dusty.

愛鸚斯坦：哈啾！(打噴嚏聲)

E: Achoo!

SW: It could make her sneeze.

白小姐：灰塵會讓她打噴嚏，但很重要的一點是，她研究的結果

But more importantly, her research could help Einstein

可能可以幫助愛鸚斯坦為她一直醫不好的沙啞嗓子找到解藥。

find a cure for her never-ending scratchy throat.

Einstein: [Coughs]

愛鸚斯坦：咳..咳..咳(連續咳嗽聲)

SW: Yeah.

白小姐：耶..

(Laughter)

Well, Bob Russell was telling us about his work on nanotubes

(聽眾笑聲)

BOB RUSSELL在演講中告訴我們有關奈米管的研究，

in his research at the microscopic level.

該研究是從微觀的角度進行，

那很酷，但是愛鸚斯坦更期待的是

Well, that's really cool, but what Einstein's really hoping

is that maybe he'll genetically engineer a five-pound peanut.

或許他將來可以用基因工程創造出一顆五磅重的花生米。

E: Oh, my God! My God! My God!

愛鸚斯坦:喔，天啊！天啊！天啊！

SW: Yeah. She would get really, really excited.

白小姐：看來如果事情真能這樣發生，愛鸚斯坦會很興奮喔！

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

That is one big peanut.

那會是一顆很大的花生。身為鳥類的愛鸚斯坦，

Since Einstein is a bird,

she's very interested in things that fly.

當然對會飛的事物都非常有興趣，

She thinks Burt Rutan is very impressive.

所以她對BURT RUTAN可是印象非常深刻。

愛鸚斯坦：唔！( 驚嘆聲 好厲害喔)

E: Ooh.

SW: Yeah. She especially likes his latest achievement, SpaceShipOne.

白小姐：對，她非常喜愛BURT RUTAN最近在太空船一號的成果，

Einstein, would you like to ride in Burt's spaceship?

愛鸚斯坦，你想要坐BURT RUTAN的太空船嗎?

E: [Spaceship noise]

愛鸚斯坦：咕咕咕...(太空船飛行時的聲音)

SW: Even if it doesn't have a laser?

白小姐：就算那太空船裡面沒有雷射光，你也要搭嗎？

愛鸚斯坦：倂併併...(雷射槍射擊聲)

E: [Laser noise]

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

白小姐：耶~耶~愛鸚斯坦你這一招頂好玩耶。

SW: Yeah, yeah. That was pretty funny, Einstein.

Now, Einstein also thinks, you know,

愛鸚斯坦認為在洞穴裡，

working in caves and travelling through space --

或是到太空旅行都是很危險的，

it's all very dangerous jobs.

It would be very dangerous if you fell down.

因為一個不小心就會摔下來。

E: Wheeeeeee! [Splat]

愛鸚斯坦： 休-----碰！(由高處摔下的落下聲)

SW: Yeah.

白小姐：表演的真好！

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

Little splat at the end there. Einstein, did that hurt?

最後摔到地面了，愛鸚斯坦這樣會痛嗎?

愛鸚斯坦：噢!噢!噢! (好痛 好痛)

E: Ow, ow, ow.

SW: Yeah. It's all a lot of hard work.

白小姐：沒錯，這些都有許多辛苦的工作要做。

E: [Squawks]

愛鸚斯坦：休— (鬆一口氣的聲音 )

SW: Yeah. It can get a bird like Einstein frustrated.

白小姐：這會使愛鸚斯坦這樣的鳥類感覺心灰意冷。

E: [Squawks]

愛鸚斯坦：嗯 !(不知所措的嘆氣聲)

SW: Yeah, it sure can.

白小姐：絕對沒錯。但是當愛鸚斯坦需要在她的工作之餘放鬆一點--

But when Einstein needs to relax from her job educating the public

她的工作是教育公衆--在閒暇之餘，她酷愛藝術。

she loves to take in the arts.

If the children of the Uganda need another dance partner,

如果烏干達的孩子們需要另一位舞伴的話，

Einstein could sure fit the bill, because she loves to dance.

愛鸚斯坦是最適合不過的，因爲她喜歡跳舞。

你能爲大家跳段舞嗎？

Can you get down?

E: [Bobbing head] (Laughter)

愛鸚斯坦：(不斷地上下晃動腦袋) (笑聲)

SW: Let's get down for everybody. Come on now.

讓我們為大家跳舞吧。現在開始。

She's going to make me do it, too. Ooh, ooh.

她要我跟它一起跳。噢，噢。

Einstein: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

愛鸚斯坦：噢，噢，噢，噢。

SW: Do your head now.

白小姐：頭也要動起來啊。

E: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

愛鸚斯坦：噢，噢，噢，噢

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

SW: Or maybe Sirena Huang would like to learn some arias on her violin,

白小姐：也許西麗娜．黃會想用她的小提琴

學著拉一些詠嘆調，愛鸚斯坦你可以跟著唱一些歌劇嗎？

and Einstein can sing along with some opera?

E: [Operatic squawk]

愛鸚斯坦：(歌劇的呱呱聲)

SW: Very good.

白小姐：非常好。

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

Or maybe Stu just needs another backup singer?

如果史圖也需要一個合音歌手呢？

Einstein, can you also sing?

愛鸚斯坦，你會唱歌嗎？

I know, you need to get rid of that seed first. Can you sing?

當然了，你得先把那顆瓜子吃掉。你能唱嗎？

E: La, la.

愛鸚斯坦：拉，拉。

SW: There you go.

白小姐：好極了。當然了，如果你這些都做不成，

And, of course, if all else fails,

she can just run off and enjoy a fun fiesta.

你大可溜掉，好好享受一個有趣的假期。

E: [Squawks]

愛鸚斯坦：(呱呱)

SW: All right.

白小姐：好了，愛鸚斯坦原先不好意思承認，

Well, Einstein was pretty embarrassed to admit this earlier,

但她在後臺告訴我說，她有一點小麻煩。

but she was telling me backstage that she had a problem.

愛鸚斯坦：你有甚麼問題？

E: What's the matter?

SW: No, I don't have a problem. You have the problem, remember?

白小姐：不，我才沒有麻煩呢。是你碰到一些麻煩了，記得嗎？

You were saying that you were really embarrassed,

你說，你非常不好意思，

because you're in love with a pirate?

因爲你愛上了一個海盜？

E: Yar.

愛鸚斯坦：是啊。

SW: There we go. And what do pirates like to drink?

白小姐：承認了吧。海盜喜歡喝什麽？

E: Beer.

愛鸚斯坦：啤酒。

SW: Yeah, that's right.

白小姐：是的，沒錯。但是你不喜歡喝啤酒，對不對，愛鸚斯坦？

But you don't like to drink beer, Einstein.

You like to drink water.

你喜歡喝的是水。

E: [Water sound]

愛鸚斯坦：(一飲而盡的喝水聲)

SW: Very good. Now, really, she is pretty nervous.

白小姐：非常好。現在她真的非常緊張。

Because one of her favorite folks from back home is here,

因爲在她家鄉她最欣賞的一個人現在就在現場，

and she's pretty nervous to meet him.

要與他見面，她非常緊張。

She thinks Al Gore is a really good-looking man.

她認爲艾爾.高爾(美國前副總統)非常英俊。

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

SW: And so do all the folks back home in Tennessee.

白小姐：也對在田納西的鄉親們打個招呼吧？

E: Yee haw.

愛鸚斯坦：嘻哈(興奮激動的聲音)

(Laughter)

(聽眾笑聲)

SW: And since she's such a big fan,

白小姐：因爲她是高爾的大粉絲，

she knows that his birthday is coming up at the end of March.

愛因斯坦知道高爾的生日是在三月底。

And we didn't think he'd be in town then,

我們猜他那時不會在這裏。

so Einstein wanted to do something special for him.

因此愛鸚斯坦現在想爲他做點兒特殊的事情。

So let's see if Einstein will sing "Happy Birthday" to Al Gore.

讓我們看看愛鸚斯坦是否願意爲高爾唱“生日快樂"歌。

Can you sing "Happy Birthday" to him?
