2、d where we have these books like such and such “For Dummies.” Do you know these books, these such and such “For Dummies?” My daughters pointed out that Im very similar looking, so this is a bit of a problem. (Laughter) But I was looking online at A for other books like this. You know, theres also so
3、mething called the “Complete Idiots Guide?” Theres a sort of business model around being stupid in some sense. We like to have technology make us feel bad, for some strange reason.简单，多么棒的开场! 首先，我一直都在关注这个趋势 市面上不也有很多像是”傻瓜也会.”的这类书吗? 你知道这类书吗?教你一学就上手的指南 我女儿说我长得很像这书中的傻瓜，听起来不太妙. (笑声) 我也在亚马逊的网站上搜寻这样的书 你知道吗?
4、甚至还有”白痴大全”呢? 似乎有些商业模式本身就蛮愚蠢的 而不知什么原因，我们也喜欢拥有让自己感觉很糟的科技But I really like that, so I wrote a book called “The Laws of Simplicity.” I was in Milan last week, for the Italian launch. Its kind of a book about questions, questions about simplicity. Very few answers. Im also wondering myself, what is simpl
5、icity? Is it good? Is it bad? Is complexity better? Im not sure.我也喜欢，所以我写了一本书叫做”简单的法则” 为了这本新书在意大利上市，上周我到米兰 这本书提了很多问题，都是关于简单 但是答案很少。我也常问自己，到底简单是什么? 简单是好事?是坏事?复杂点会不会更好?我不知道After I wrote “The Laws of Simplicity,” I was very tired of simplicity, as you can imagine. And so in my life, Ive discovered that
6、 vacation is the most important skill for any kind of over-achiever. Because your companies will always take away your life, but they can never take away your vacation - in theory. (Laughter)但当我写完这本”简单的法则”时 不难想象，我对这二个字有多厌惓 同时，我也发现 好好渡个假对于工作狂来说绝对是最重要的技能 因为工作总是占用你的生活 但绝无法夺走你的假期.理论上来说 (笑声)So, I went to
7、 the Cape last summer to hide from simplicity, and I went to the Gap, because I only have black pants. So I went and bought khaki shorts or whatever, and unfortunately, their branding was all about “Keep It Simple.” (Laughter) I opened up a magazine, and Visas branding was, “Business Takes Simplicit
8、y.” I develop photographs, and Kodak said, “Keep It Simple.” So, I felt kind of weird that simplicity was sort of following me around.为了躲避”简单” ，去年夏天我跑去鳕鱼角渡假 得去 GAP 逛逛，因为我只有黑色裤子 想买些卡其布的衣服短裤之类的 没想到，GAP 的品牌代表着”保持简单” (笑声) 我翻开杂志，Visa 的品牌形象是 “商业在于简单” 连去洗相片时，柯达的广告还是”保持简单” 奇怪，怎么简单这二个字到处都是So, I turned on the
9、 TV, and I dont watch TV very much, but you know this person? This is Paris Hilton, apparently. And she has this show, “The Simple Life.” So I watched this. Its not very simple, a little bit confusing. (Laughter) So, I looked for a different show to watch. So, I opened up this TV Guide thing, and on
10、 the E! channel, this “Simple Life” show is very popular. Theyll play it over, and over, and over. (Laughter) So it was traumatizing, actually.打开电视，其实我不常看电视的 这个人 Paris Hilton，显然你们都知道她 她主持”简单生活”这个节目 我看了，嗯，内容不太简单，好像还有点复杂 (笑声) 所以我想看其他节目 打开电视节目指南 啊，是 E!频道!看来”简单生活”很红呢 所以 E!频道不断回放 (笑声) 总之，真是种精神折磨So, I wan
11、ted to escape again, so I went out to my car. And Cape Cod, there are idyllic roads, and all of us can drive in this room. And when you drive, these signs are very important. Its a very simple sign, it says, “road” and “road approaching.” So Im mostly driving along, okay, and then I saw this sign. (
12、Laughter) So, I thought complexity was attacking me suddenly, so I thought, “Ah, simplicity. Very important.”所以我决定再度逃走，开了车 到了鳕鱼角，那有田园诗般的美丽道路，所有人都能在这环境中享受开车乐趣 当然，开车时交通标志很重要的 简单的标志，只写着”道路”及”分叉路” 大部份时间我延着路一直开，都没什么问题，直到看到这个 (笑声) 我想复杂是不是突然间开始袭击我? 我又想：嗯!简单.原来真的很重要But then I thought, “Oh, simplicity. What
13、would that be like on a beach? What if the sky was 41 percent gray? Wouldnt that be the perfect sky?” I mean that simplicity sky. But in reality, the sky looked like this. It was a beautiful, complex sky.我又想：简单，在海摊上又会是什么样呢 41%的灰色天空，会不会更美好呢? 我是说简单一点的天空 但事实上，天空是长这样的，很美，也很复杂You know, with the pinks and
14、 blues. We cant help but love complexity. Were human beings: we love complex things. We love relationships - very complex. So we love this kind of stuff.你看，粉红色和蓝色混合着，怎么可能不爱呢? 我们是人，人都爱复杂的东西 我们喜欢搞关系，搞复杂，我们就是热爱这种复杂事物Im at this place called the Media Lab. Maybe some of you guys have heard of this place.
15、 Its designed by I. M. Pei, one of the premier modernist architects. Modernism means white box, and its a perfect white box. (Laughter) And some of you guys are entrepreneurs, etc., whatever. Last month, I was at Google, and, boy, that cafeteria, man. You guys have things here in Silicon Valley like
16、 stock options. See, in academia, we get titles, lots of titles.这是”媒体实验室” ，我工作的地方 也许有些人听过 贝聿铭设计的，一个顶尖的现代主义建筑师 现代主义指的是这白色箱子，一个完美的白色箱子 (笑声) 你们之中，也许有些人是创业家，企业家之类的 上个月我在 Google，天啊!那咖啡厅真棒! 在硅谷，科技界有”股票选择权” 而在学术界，我们则有头衔，很多很多的头衔Last year at TED, these were all my titles.
