TED英語演講：每天一秒鐘

你的生命中曾經有過很多美妙、歡樂、或傷感的時刻，那麼你是如何記錄這些時刻的呢? 慄山-塞薩爾導演(Cesar Kuriyama)發起了一個專案，每天都為自己錄製一秒鐘，記錄下生活的瞬間。Cesar 認為雖然之前有人嘗試用圖片記錄生活點滴，但是視訊包含了聲音和動作，更加直觀生動。試想一下,如果你現在開始記錄生活中的每一秒，20xx年後，你相當於為自己拍了一部約2 小時的電影。下面是小編為大家收集關於TED英語演講：每天一秒鐘，歡迎借鑑參考。

演說題目：One second every day

演說者：Cesar Kuriyama

So, I'm an artist. I live in New York, and I've been working in advertising for -- ever since I left school,so about seven, eight years now, and it was draining. I worked a lot of late nights. I worked a lot of weekends, and I found myself never having time for all the projects that I wanted to work on on my own.

我是一名藝術家。我住在紐約，從事廣告設計，從畢業開始我就一直做這行，至今已經七、八年了，慢慢的感覺有點厭倦了。我熬了很多夜，在辦公室度過了很多的週末，我發現自己一直沒有時間來做我真正想做的個人專案。

And one day I was at work and I saw a talk by Stefan Sagmeister on TED, and it was called "The power of time off," and he spoke about how every seven years, he takes a year off from work so he could do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired, and I just said, "I have to do that. I have to take a year off. I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family and start my own creative ideas."

有一天我在工作的時候看到了施德明(Stefan Sagmeister)在TED上的演講，主題叫“時間流逝的力量”，他提到他每過七年，就拿出一年時間來休假，拋開工作，做自己的富有創造力的專案，我的思路被他打開了，然後我說：“我也要這麼幹，我要休一年的假。” “我需要時間旅行，陪伴家人，” “開始自己的富有創造力的想法。”

So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day." Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life, chronologically compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until, you know, I can't record them anymore.

我的專案中，第一個專案的名字叫 “每天一秒鐘”。大意就是我每天都堅持給自己錄一秒鐘的視訊，下半輩子一直堅持下去，慢慢的將這些一秒鐘的視訊拼接起來，將我的生活的片段拼接成一段連續的視訊，直到我沒有能力再錄製這些視訊為止。

The purpose of this project is, one: I hate not remembering things that I've done in the past. There's all these things that I've done with my life that I have no recollection of unless someone brings it up, and sometimes I think, "Oh yeah, that's something that I did."

專案的目的是，第一：我不喜歡忘記自己過去做過的事情。有很多我之前做過的事情，我都想不起來了，直到有人提起來的時候，我或許才能想起來，“對哦，我還做過這件事情。”

And something that I realized early on in the project was that if I wasn't doing anything interesting, I would probably forget to record the video. So the day -- the first time that I forgot, it really hurt me, because it's something that I really wanted to --from the moment that I turned 30, I wanted to keep this project going until forever, and having missed that one second, I realized, it just kind of created this thing in my head where I never forgot ever again.

在這個專案開始的早期階段我發現 如果今天過的不是很有趣，我可能會忘記錄制視訊。所以有一天，當我第一次忘記錄制視訊的時候，我非常的難過，我真的不想漏掉自己的生活記錄。從我三十歲那時起，我就希望能夠將這個專案延續到我死掉，而漏錄了那天的一秒鐘，我意識到，某種意義上這讓我的腦子 再也不會忘記這件事情了。

So if I live to see 80 years of age, I'm going to have a five-hour video that encapsulates 50 years of my life. When I turn 40, I'll have a one-hour video that includes just my 30s. This has really invigorated me day-to-day, when I wake up, to try and do something interesting with my day.

所以如果我能活到80歲，我的視訊能夠達到5個小時長度，濃縮了我50年的生活。當我到了40歲的時候，是1個小時，從我30歲開始算。這個專案讓我每天醒來都生龍活虎 想著今天要做哪些有趣的事情才好。

Now, one of the things that I have issues with is that, as the days and weeks and months go by, time just seems to start blurring and blending into each other and, you know, I hated that, and visualization is the way to trigger memory. You know, this project for me is a way for me to bridge that gap and remember everything that I've done. Even just this one second allows me to remember everything else I did that one day.

現在，我要處理的問題之一就是，隨著時間一天一天、一個月一個月的過去，日子似乎變得模糊起來邊界變得不那麼明顯 你們知道，我不喜歡這種感覺，而可以看見的影像是激發回憶的方式。這個專案對我而言就是一座讓我能夠回憶起我過去生活的橋樑 即使只是短短的一秒鐘的視訊，也能讓我回憶起一整天的事情。

It's difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second. On a good day, I'll have maybe three or four seconds that I really want to choose, but I'll just have to narrow it down to one,but even narrowing it down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.

有時候要在一天中選擇一秒鐘並不容易。美好的一天裡，我真的想要 多錄製三秒或四秒，但是我只能把它壓縮到一秒，但是即使壓縮到了只有一秒鐘，也足以讓我記住一整天的回憶。

It's also kind of a protest, a personal protest, against the culture we have now where people just are at concerts with their cell phones out recording the whole concert, and they're disturbing you. They're not even enjoying the show. They're watching the concert through their cell phone. I hate that.

這個專案也是一種個人的抗議行為，抗議這樣的一種現象、一種人，他們參加音樂會時會用手機把整場音樂會 都錄下來，並且打擾了你欣賞音樂。他們可能根本不喜歡這個音樂會。他們在手機上觀看音樂會。我不喜歡這樣。

I admittedly used to be that guy a little bit, back in the day, and I've decided that the best way for me to still capture and keep a visual memory of my life and not be that person, is to just record that one second that will allow me to trigger that memory of, "Yeah, that concert was amazing. I really loved that concert." And it just takes a quick, quick second.

我承認或多或少的我也曾經如此。而我後來意識到，讓自己記錄和保留視訊資料，同時又避免成為 我不喜歡的那種人的最好的方法就是，只錄一秒鐘的時間，讓我能夠觸發對當天生活的回憶。“音樂會棒極了，我真的很喜歡。” 只需要短短的一秒鐘。

I was on a three-month road trip this summer. It was something that I've been dreaming about doing my whole life, just driving around the U.S. and Canada and just figuring out where to go the next day,and it was kind of outstanding. I actually ran out, I spent too much money on my road trip for the savings that I had to take my year off, so I had to, I went to Seattle and I spent some time with friends working on a really neat project.

今年夏天我度了三個月的假。這是我一生夢寐以求的東西，開車環遊美國和加拿大，每天只需想明天去哪裡，這樣的生活太棒了。後來沒錢了，我在路途上花了太多的錢，把為休假一年準備的存款都花光了，所以我不得不跑到西雅圖跟一些朋友一起花了一點時間趕了一個小專案賺錢。

One of the reasons that I took my year off was to spend more time with my family, and this really tragic thing happened where my sister-in-law, her intestine suddenly strangled one day, and we took her to the emergency room, and she was, she was in really bad almost lost her a couple of times, and I was there with my brother every day. It helped me realize something else during this project, is that recording that one second on a really bad day is extremely difficult. It's not -- we tend to take our cameras out when we're doing awesome things.

我休假一年的目的之一是花更多的時間陪伴我的家人，而這期間發生了一件悲劇性的事情，我的小姨子，一天突發腸梗塞，我們把她送到了急救室，而她的情況非常的糟糕。我們有好幾次差點就失去了她，我跟我的哥哥每天都守在旁邊。這讓我意識到在這個專案的另一個重要之處，就是在這些悲傷的日子中記錄自己的生活是非常非常的困難的。它不像是——如果我們要做一些很酷的事情時，我們可能會帶上相機。

Or we're, "Oh, yeah, this party, let me take a picture." But we rarely do that when we're having a bad day, and something horrible is happening. And I found that it's actually been very, very important to record even just that one second of a really bad moment. It really helps you appreciate the good times. It's not always a good day, so when you have a bad one, I think it's important to remember it, just as much as it is important to remember the [good] days.

或者，“哦，這個聚會太棒了，我要拍張照。” 但是我們很少在有不好的事情發生時這麼做，很少在心情糟糕的時候拍照。而這讓我發現了記錄生活中非常糟糕的時刻，哪怕只記錄一秒鐘，是多麼的重要。它會讓你更加珍惜那些好時光。日子不會一帆風順，但你某天過得不順利，我認為將它記錄下來是很重要的，盡你的所能去回憶那些(好)時光。

Now one of the things that I do is I don't use any filters, I don't use anything to -- I try to capture the moment as much as possible as the way that I saw it with my own eyes. I started a rule of first person perspective. Early on, I think I had a couple of videos where you would see me in it, but I realized that wasn't the way to go. The way to really remember what I saw was to record it as I actually saw it.

我錄製的所有視訊都沒有做過特效處理，什麼處理都沒有——我希望自己錄製的視訊能夠最大程度的還原我眼睛看到的樣子。我一開始就用第一人稱視角拍攝。早先我想過用兩個攝像機，其中一個把我錄進去，但是後來覺得這不是我想要的。真正記錄我的生活的方法，是記錄我實際看到的樣子。

Now a couple of things that I have in my head about this project are, wouldn't it be interesting if thousands of people were doing this? I turned 31 last week, which is there. I think it would be interesting to see what everyone did with a project like this. I think everyone would have a different interpretation of it. I think everyone would benefit from just having that one second to remember every day.

現在關於這個專案，我有的一些想法是，如果很多人都一起做這件事情，會不會很有趣?視訊裡是上週我剛滿31歲的樣子。我想如果每個人都像我這麼做，那一定會非常的有趣。我相信每個人都會有自己的解讀。我相信每個人都會從他們每天一秒鐘的視訊記錄中獲益。

Personally, I'm tired of forgetting, and this is a really easy thing to do. I mean, we all have HD-capable cameras in our pockets right now -- most people in this room, I bet -- and it's something that's -- I never want to forget another day that I've ever lived, and this is my way of doing that, and it'd be really interesting also to see, if you could just type in on a website, "June 18, 20xx," and you would just see a stream of people's lives on that particular day from all over the world.

就我而言，我不喜歡忘記過去，而錄製視訊是非常簡單的事情。我們每個人的口袋裡都有一臺能錄製高清視訊的攝像機—— 我打賭絕大多數人都有—— 或者有類似的東西—— 我再也不想忘記我生活過的任何一天，這是我記住過去方式，而如果你能夠在一個網站上輸入“20xx年6月18日”，然後就能 看到全世界 無數的人在那天的生活視訊，那一定非常有意思。

And I don't know, I think this project has a lot of possibilities, and I encourage you all to record just a small snippet of your life every day, so you can never forget that that day, you lived.

我不知道，我覺得這個專案有很多可能性，我號召你們每個人每天都錄製自己的一小段視訊，這樣你就不會忘記你生活過的日子。

Thank you.(Applause)
