All this while, I was interviewing him, questioning him,
這一陣我一直在采訪他，詢問他，
and then I realized that I was getting very superficial information, or just answers to my questions.
后來我發現我只得到了很表面的信息，或只是簡單地回答我問的問題。
But I really needed to dig deeper to get a new perspective.
但我真的需要再深入一點，看能不能理出新的頭緒。
So I thought, well, let's observe him in his daily tasks, while he's eating, while he's watching TV.
我想從觀察他的日常生活開始，觀察他吃飯和看電視。
And then, when I was actually observing him walking to his dining table, it struck me,
當我看到他走去餐桌吃飯的時候，我震驚地發現，
this man who finds it so difficult to walk on flat land, how does he climb a staircase?
他就連在平地上行走都是很困難的，更何況去爬樓梯。
Because in India we do not have a fancy rail that takes you up a staircase like in the developed countries.
在印度沒有像其他發達國家一樣，電梯可以幫你上樓。
One actually has to climb the stairs.
大家都要爬樓梯。
So he told me, "Well, let me show you how I do it." Let's take a look at what I saw.
他跟我說：“我給你看我怎么上樓。”請看我所看到的情況。
So he took really long to reach this position,
他花了很長的時間走到了這個位置，
and then all this while, I'm thinking, "Oh my God, is he really going to do it?
這段時間我一直在想：“天啊，他真的要這么做么？
Is he really, really going to do it without his walker?" And then ...
他真的要不用拐杖走樓梯么？”然后...
And the turns, he took them so easily.
然后他很輕松的轉彎。
So -- shocked? Well, I was too. So this person who could not walk on flat land was suddenly a pro at climbing stairs.
所以，震驚了么？我也震驚了。一個不能在平地上走路的人，爬樓梯卻非常順利。
On researching this, I realized that it's because it's a continuous motion.
通過研究，我了解到這是因為爬樓梯是一系列的動作。
There's this other man who also suffers from the same symptoms and uses a walker,
另一個同樣使用拐杖的帕金森綜合征患者，
but the moment he's put on a cycle, all his symptoms vanish, because it is a continuous motion.
只要騎上自行車所有的癥狀都消失了，也是因為這是連續性的動作。
So the key for me was to translate this feeling of walking on a staircase back to flat land.
所以問題的關鍵就是我如何把爬樓梯的感覺移植到平地上去。
And a lot of ideas were tested and tried on him, but the one that finally worked was this one. Let's take a look.
我在他的身上嘗試了很多想法，我們看一下最終成功的想法。
