And there are four people up on stage, there are about 10 of us in the class and these guys are improvising that they're in a laundromat
舞臺上有4個人 課上總共大約有10個人 這些人在即興表演自助洗衣店里的情景
And the scene ends and Don asked all of us in the room "What do you see up there on that stage right now?"
一幕下來 唐問教室里所有人 "現在的舞臺上 你們看到什么"
And there was nothing up there, so we described what we see up on the stage It's an empty stage

And Don says, "So far today you guys have improvised that you're in an apartment

An apartment, a laundromat and an apartment What are you afraid of?"
"公寓 洗衣店 和公寓的情景" "你們害怕什么"
We all kind of looked at each other like "What do you mean what are we afraid of?" And he said,
我們面面相覷 "什么叫害怕什么" 他說
"You need to make more courageous choices The reason that stage is completely empty and doesn't have a set on it
"你們需要作出更有膽識的選擇" "舞臺上之所以完全是空的 之所以沒有布景"
Is so that you can go out there and be in the Keebler Elf factory or be on the space shuttle
"是為了讓你們上臺 把它當作奇寶餅干工廠" "或當成太空船"
As an astronaut who's never even tried to fly a plane before Make bigger choices, take courageous risks"
"讓你們這些甚至沒開過飛機的人 把自己當成宇航員" "作出更大膽的選擇 更勇敢地承擔風險"

"I got to go out there and get into the scene and I'm going to get this line out" And so I entered the stage
"我要到臺上 把這一句演出來" 于是我步入舞臺
And I try to start moving the scene in the direction of what I wanted to say and Martin stops the scene
試圖引導這一幕 從而讓我能說出那句臺詞 馬丁叫停了這一幕
He says, "Stop, stop" And he says to the whole class

But really he's talking to me. He says "You can't plan a script
實際上是針對我 他說 "你不能提前擬好劇本"
The beauty of improvisation is you're experiencing it in the moment If you try to plan what the next line is suppose to be
"即興表演之美在于當前此刻的瞬間體驗" "如果你計劃好下一句應該是什么"
