The most romantic thing to ever happen to me online

與我無關，而且不是在網路上。

On December 10, 1896, the man on the medal,

在1896年的12月10號，這面獎章上的男人，

阿弗雷德•諾貝爾，與世長辭。

One hundred years later, exactly, actually,

這位迷人女士，維斯拉瓦·辛波絲卡，

but back in '96, I thought I had never heard of her,

不過在96年的時候，我以為我從來沒聽過她，

And it goes on, but as soon as I read this poem,

之後的我就不念了，不過當我讀到這首詩時，

著迷的程度嚴重到我覺得我以前一定

Had I shared an elevator ride with this poem?

我是否與這首詩共乘過同一部電梯？

我不知道，而這一直困擾著我，

(Video) Groucho Marx: Charlie, you
should have come to the first party.

Groucho Marx：
Charlie，你應該要來第一個派對的，

We didn't get home till around four in the morning.

我們玩到了凌晨四點鐘才回家。

Rives: My roommates would have the TV on,

(背景音樂：歡樂單身派對主題曲)

(Video) George Costanza: Oh boy, 
I was up til four in the morning

(影片) George Costanza：喔天啊，我昨天熬到凌晨四點鐘

(Video) Elton John: ♪ It's four o'clock
in the morning, damn it. ♪

(影片) 艾爾頓·強： ♪現在是凌晨四點鐘，該死 ♪

Rives: So you can see what was going on, right?

你們能夠明白發生了什麼事，對吧？

Some people get a number stuck in their head,

這就像有些人會不自覺去注意某些數字，

you may recognize a certain name or a tune,

或是你也有可能會
一直認出某個名字或一段旋律，

some people get nothing, but four in the morning

也有人不會有這種情況，但凌晨四點鐘

and I never talked about it with anybody,

不過我錯了，所以我乾脆說出來。

and since I was still an authority on nothing,

既然我當時並不是任何事情的權威，

I thought, what if I made a multimedia presentation

我在想，若我做了一份多媒體簡報，

So my talk had some of my
four in the morning examples,

於是我那次演講含概了
許多我找到的凌晨四點鐘例子

I found a couple in the work of Matt Groening,

除此之外還有幾個馬特·格朗寧的作品。

話說回來，馬特·格朗寧在那演講過後

and I gather that he is not an early riser.

我猜他應該不是個早起的人吧。

但總之，如果馬特當時有到場，

he would have seen this mock conspiracy theory

that was un-freaking-canny for me to assemble.

just for that room, just for that moment.

That's how we did it in the pre-TED.com days.

這完全是我們在TED.com時代前的
老時光會做的事，

When I got home, though,
the emails started coming in

不過當我回家之後，
電子郵件開始湧入我的信箱，

它們來自當時在演講現場的人。

beginning with, and this is still my favorite,

我現在還是很喜歡的第一封信寫著：

「這裡有另一個可以加入你收藏的例子：

'It's the friends you can call
up at 4 a.m. that matter.'"

『唯有那些在凌晨四點鐘
還願意接你電話的朋友才重要。』」

而這封電子郵件則是來自另一位

and I'm thinking, this man is the Typhoid Mary

接著我就想，這位「值得傳播的想法」界中的

of ideas worth spreading, and I have infected him.

which was confirmed less than a week later

而不到一個禮拜後我又更確信這一點。

when a Hallmark employee scanned and sent

Hallmark公司的員工掃描了一張真正的賀卡

As a bonus, she hooked me up
with a second one they make.

她還寄了另一張她們公司做的賀卡來，

上面寫道：「一想到如果我需要的話
