Shih Chieh Huang在Ted英語演講：深海雕像(中英雙語+)

0:11 I was born in Taiwan. I grew up surrounded by different types of hardware stores, and I like going to night markets. I love the energy of the night markets, the colors, the lights, the toys, and all the unexpected things I find every time I go, things like watermelon with straw antennas or puppies with mohawks. When I was growing up, I liked taking toys apart, any kind of toys I'd find around the house, like my brother's BB gun when he's not home.
0:11 我在臺灣出生 我成長于一個擁有 各式五金行商家的環境 我也很喜歡逛夜市 我很愛夜市的那股活力 以及，它的五光十色和玩具 還有我每次去，所發現的新鮮事物 比如，插著吸管天線的西瓜 或者，擁有紅毛莫霍克發型的小狗 成長歲月里，我喜歡拆解玩具 任何我可以在家里找到的玩具 像是趁我兄弟不在家時，偷拿他的BB槍

0:42 I also liked to make environments for people to explore and play. In these early installations, I would take plastic sheets, plastic bags, and things I would find in the hardware store or around the house. I would take things like highlighter pen, mix it with water, pump it through plastic tubing, creating these glowing circulatory systems for people to walk through and enjoy. I like these materials because of the way they look, the way they feel, and they're very affordable.
0:42 我也喜歡制作場景 讓人們去探索及玩耍 這些早期的布景裝置 我會使用塑料布、塑料袋 以及，我在五金行或家里 可以找到的東西 我會使用一些東西，像熒光筆 與水混合，灌入塑料管 打造出這些會發光的循環系統 供人們穿梭及欣賞 我喜歡這些素材，因為它們的外觀 它們的觸感，以及價格非常實惠

1:11 I also liked to make devices that work with body parts. I would take camera LED lights and a bungee cord and strap it on my waist and I would videotape my belly button, get a different perspective, and see what it does. (Laughter)
1:11 我也喜歡做一些可和身體部位互動的裝置 我會拿相機的 LED 燈 和彈性松緊繩，系在我的腰上 然后，我會錄像我的肚臍 用一個另類的角度 來觀察肚臍的樣貌 （笑聲）

1:25 I also like to modify household appliances. This is an automatic night light. Some of you might have them at home. I would cut out the light sensor, add an extension line, and use modeling clay, stick it onto the television, and then I would videotape my eye, and using the dark part of my eye tricking the sensor into thinking it's night time, so you turn on the lightbulb. The white of the eye and the eyelid will trick the sensor into thinking it's daytime, and it will shut off the light.
1:25 我也喜歡改裝家庭用品 這是一個自動感應的小夜燈 在座應該有人家里也有 我會切掉光感應的部分 加上一條延長線 接著使用模型黏土 將它黏在電視機上 然后我會錄我自己的眼睛 藉由我的黑眼球 混淆感應裝置，讓它以為是晚上 所以，可以讓燈亮起來 眼白和眼皮的部份 則讓感應誤以為現在是白天 所以，感應裝置會關上燈

1:52 I wanted to collect more different types of eyes, so I built this device using bicycle helmets, some lightbulbs and television sets. It would be easier for other people to wear the helmet and record their eyes. This device allows me to symbolically extract other people's eyes, so I have a diversity of eyes to use for my other sculptures. This sculpture has four eyes. Each eye is controlling a different device. This eye is turning itself around in a television. This eye is inflating a plastic tube. This eye is watching a video of another piece being made. And these two eyes are activating glowing water. Many of these pieces are later on shown in museums, biennials, triennial exhibitions around the world.
1:52 我想要搜集更多不同的眼睛 所以，我發明了這個運用單車安全帽 和一些燈泡及電視的裝置 以便于其他人戴上安全帽 以及，錄像他們的眼睛 這個裝置也讓我得以 將其他人的眼睛圖像化 我因此擁有各式各樣的眼睛 可用于我的其他作品 這個作品有四個眼睛 每只眼睛控管著另外一個的裝置 這只眼睛在電視機里轉動著 這只眼睛則對著一個塑料管灌氣中 這只眼睛在看電視，關于另外一個裝置的發明過程 這兩只眼睛可以啟動熒光水的裝置 許多發明，后來都被展示于 博物館，雙年展，以及三年展 于世界各地。

2:43 I love science and biology. In 2007, I was doing a research fellowship at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum looking at bioluminous organisms in the oean. I love these creatures. I love the way they look, the way they feel. They're soft, they're slimy, and I was fascinated by the way they use light in their environment, either to attract mates, for self-defense, or to attract food. This research inspired my work in many different ways, things like movement or different light patterns. So I started gathering a lot of different types of material in my studio and just experimenting and trying this out, trying that out, and seeing what types of creatures I can come up with. I used a lot of computer cooling fans and just kind of put them together and see what happens. This is an 8,000-square-foot installation composed of many different creatures, some hanging from the ceiling and some resting on the floor. From afar, they look alien-like, but when you look closer, they're all made out of black garbage bags or Tupperware containers.
2:43 我熱愛科學和生物學 2007 時，我在史密森自然歷史博物館 鉆研一個獎學金研究 觀察海洋里的發光生物體 我很愛這些生物，我很喜歡牠們的外型和觸感 牠們很柔軟，而且很光滑 我很著迷牠們自身發光的方式 在牠們的成長環境里 不論是為了求偶，自我保衛 或者，吸引獵物 這份研究啟發我很多關于作品的創作方式 比如：作品的移動方式， 或者不同的光線變化 所以，我開始在我的工作室 搜集大量不同類型的素材 進行實驗 試試這個，試試那個 看看我能發明出什么樣的東西 我使用了很多計算機的風扇 然后，試圖將風扇置入裝置 看看會發生什么事 這是一個8千平方英尺的裝置 由許多不同的發明共同組成 有些吊在天花版，有一些則置放在地上 從遠處觀看，它們很像外星人 但當你走進看， 它們全部由黑色垃圾袋 或保鮮盒組成

3:45 I'd like to share with you how ordinary things can become something magical and wondrous. (Applause) Thank you. (Applause)
3:45 我想與您分享，平凡無奇的事物可以 如何轉化成一些很神奇魔幻的事物 （掌聲） 謝謝大家 （掌聲）
