Let's just look at something like, you know,
我們不妨看一個具體的問題
solving problems with making airlines safer.
比如如何讓飛行變得更加安全
Yeah, I'm a million-mile flyer.
沒錯，我自己就經(jīng)常要坐飛機
I do lots and lots of flying,
我飛過的里程超過一百萬英里
and if I was at the FAA, what would I be doing a lot of direct observation of?
假如我是在法國航空聯(lián)盟，我會特別留意去觀察什么呢？
It would be their airplane tails.
我會看他們的飛機機尾
You know, five fatal wrecks in the last 20 years,
過去20年里發(fā)生了5次帶來嚴重生命損害的墜機事故
the tail either came off or steering stuff inside the tail broke in some way.
要么是機尾斷落，要么是機尾內(nèi)部的一些控制裝置失靈，具體形式各不一樣
It's tails, pure and simple.
飛機機尾本來很簡單
And when the pilots walk around the plane, guess what? They can't see that stuff inside the tail.
但是飛行員卻沒有注意到機尾里面有些什么東西啊
You know, now as I think about that,
看到?jīng)]有，我在講述這個的時候，我會
I'm pulling up all of that specific information.
拿出最細致的數(shù)據(jù)
It's specific. See, my thinking's bottom-up.
非常的精細。大家可以看到，我的思考是自小往上的
I take all the little pieces and I put the pieces together like a puzzle.
我會收集所有的部件，而后像拼圖一樣將其拼起來
Now, here is a horse that was deathly afraid of black cowboy hats.
這匹馬是非常害怕黑色的牛仔帽的
He'd been abused by somebody with a black cowboy hat.
因為它曾經(jīng)被一個戴黑色牛仔帽的騎手虐待過
White cowboy hats, that was absolutely fine.
而對于白色的牛仔帽，它就感覺很自然
Now, the thing is, the world is going to need
事實上，我們這個世界需要
all of the different kinds of minds to work together.

我們必須培養(yǎng)不同的心智
And one of the things that is driving me really crazy,
其中有一件事讓我感到最為不安
as I travel around and I do autism meetings,
我經(jīng)常去參加一些自閉癥的會議
is I'm seeing a lot of smart, geeky, nerdy kids, and they just aren't very social,
我看到很多聰明的自閉癥孩子，他們不善社交
and nobody's working on developing their interest in something like science.
也沒有人去啟發(fā)他們發(fā)展他們的興趣，比如在科學(xué)方面的興趣
And this brings up the whole thing of my science teacher.
這就讓我想到我的科學(xué)老師
My science teacher is shown absolutely beautifully in the movie.
在電影里，我的老師的形象太美麗了
I was a goofball student.
我上中學(xué)的時候是很搗蛋的
When I was in high school I just didn't care at all about studying, until I had Mr. Carlock's science class.
根本就不思學(xué)業(yè)，直到我遇到了Carlock先生的科學(xué)課
He was now Dr. Carlock in the movie.
在電影里，他就是Carlock博士

因為他把我?guī)У揭粋€充滿視覺虛幻的房間
This brings up the whole thing of you've got to show kids interesting stuff.

You know, one of the things that I think maybe TED ought to do
我想，有一件事TED也許可以做到
is tell all the schools about all the great lectures that are on TED,
那就是告訴所有的學(xué)校，在TED這里有那么多精彩的演講
and there's all kinds of great stuff on the Internet to get these kids turned on.
在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上有那么多精彩的東西，這些東西都有可能激起這些孩子的興趣啊
Because I'm seeing a lot of these geeky nerdy kids,
因為我經(jīng)常在美國中西部以及其他地方
and the teachers out in the Midwest, and the other parts of the country,
看到這些很機靈又很古怪的孩子
when you get away from these tech areas, they don't know what to do with these kids.
那些地方遠離高科技區(qū)，那里的老師不知道該怎么教導(dǎo)孩子
And they're not going down the right path.
而且他們現(xiàn)在所走的路正好是錯誤的
The thing is, you can make a mind to be more of a thinking and cognitive mind,
有一個不爭的事實是，你可以讓每一個孩子變得更加愛思考
or your mind can be wired to be more social.
也可以讓孩子變得更加合群
And what some of the research now has shown in autism is there may by extra wiring back here,
現(xiàn)在有些關(guān)于自閉癥的研究顯示，那些非常出眾的人腦中也許有著
in the really brilliant mind, and we lose a few social circuits here.
更多的連線，只是少了一點社交的線路
It's kind of a trade-off between thinking and social.
也許兩者是此消彼長吧
And then you can get into the point where it's so severe you're going to have a person that's going to be non-verbal.
