早安，你們好嗎？這次大會實在很精彩，對吧？

所以我現在要離開了。（笑聲）

There have been three themes running through the conference

which are relevant to what I want to talk about.

首先，這些演說與這裏的每個人

One is the extraordinary evidence of human creativity

in all of the presentations that we've had

是展現人類創意的傑出典範。第二、

Just the variety of it and the range of it.

這樣的創意讓人了解到，我們根本不能預知

The second is that it's put us in a place

where we have no idea what's going to happen,

事實上，我發現每個人都對教育有興趣

Actually, what I find is everybody has an interest in education.

即便在一個晚宴上，你告訴大家

坦白說你很少會參加那些晚宴啦，因為如果你在教育界工作

詭異的是就算請你去一次，也不會再請你去第二次。

Actually, you're not often at dinner parties, frankly.

但是如果你應邀出席了，你問同桌的某人，

If you work in education, you're not asked.

你立刻會看到他們臉上出現三條黑線，彷彿是說：

And you're never asked back, curiously. That's strange to me.

天啊！為什麼是我？我這星期好不容易有個晚上可以輕鬆一下。（笑聲）

但如果你問大家受過什麼樣教育，

每個人都滔滔不絕說個沒完。因為這是影響

人們極深的幾個主題之一，對吧？

you can see the blood run from their face.

就像宗教、金錢或其他一些事情一樣。

They're like, "Oh my God," you know, "Why me?"

我個人對教育極感興趣，我猜我們都是這樣。

教育可用來幫助我們掌握難以理解的未來。

But if you ask about their education, they pin you to the wall.

Because it's one of those things that goes deep with people, am I right?

將在西元 2065 年退休。沒人會知道 —

Like religion, and money and other things.

儘管我們在過去四天中探討了各種專業知識 —

So I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do.

partly because it's education that's meant to take us into this future

教育這些孩子為將來預作準備，所以我認為，未來的不可預知性

If you think of it, children starting school this year

despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days,

他們創新的潛力。我是說，昨晚的莎琳娜真是令人驚奇，

what the world will look like in five years' time.

不是嗎？目睹了昨晚莎琳娜能做到的事。

And yet we're meant to be educating them for it.

她真是優秀，但我認為在所有的孩童裡面，

So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary.

昨晚你見到的只是一個已經發現他才能的人

非常專心致力於其天賦的結果。我的觀點是

on the really extraordinary capacities that children have --

I mean, Sirena last night was a marvel, wasn't she?

And she's exceptional, but I think she's not, so to speak,

在我們的教育裏，創意與識字能力同等重要，

我們應該給予兩者平等的地位。

What you have there is a person of extraordinary dedication

（掌聲）謝謝。就這樣，我說完了。

非常謝謝大家。（笑聲）所以，還剩下十五分鐘。

And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents.

這個嘛，我生於 — 不，開玩笑的（笑聲）

我最近聽到了一個很棒的故事 — 我很愛轉述它 —

有個小女孩在上繪畫課。她六歲，

My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy,

老師說這小女孩平常非常難專注在

and we should treat it with the same status.

一件事物上，但是今天她很專心。

老師非常的好奇，於是老師走向小女孩

小女孩說：我正在畫一幅上帝的畫像。

老師又說：可是沒人知道上帝長什麼樣子啊。

小女孩接著說：那他們馬上就會知道了。

其實，說實話，他在各地都是四歲。（笑聲）

我們對他很嚴格，不管去哪他都是四歲。

I heard a great story recently -- I love telling it --

他在聖誕節參加演出耶穌誕生的兒童劇。

of a little girl who was in a drawing lesson.

你們記得那個故事嗎？它很著名。

She was six, and she was at the back, drawing,

那是個很著名的故事。梅爾•吉勃遜演了續集。

and the teacher said this girl hardly ever paid attention,

耶穌誕生第二集，你們也許看過。但我兒子詹姆士扮演耶穌的養父聖若瑟，

我們認為這角色是主角群之一。

She went over to her, and she said, "What are you drawing?"

觀眾席上擠滿了我們找來穿著印有

And the girl said, "I'm drawing a picture of God."

「詹姆士•羅賓森是聖若瑟」字樣T恤的人。（笑聲）

And the teacher said, "But nobody knows what God looks like."

不過他是沒有台詞的，你知道故事中來自

And the girl said, "They will, in a minute."

東方的三博士來朝拜剛出生的耶穌。他們輪流獻上

我們坐在那看戲時,這是真實發生的情況歐，

Actually, he was four everywhere, to be honest.

我發現他們把獻禮的順序弄錯了，

If we're being strict about it, wherever he went, he was four that year.

你不在意嗎？他說：這有什麼錯嗎？

He was in the Nativity play. Do you remember the story?

故事繼續，這三個四歲小男孩走進耶穌的家，

Mel Gibson did the sequel, you may have seen it.

他們把裝禮物的三個盒子放下，

第一個小男孩說：我為你獻上黃金。

But James got the part of Joseph, which we were thrilled about.

第三個小男孩說：這是法蘭克送的(Frank sent this)[應為乳香-Frankincense，但小男孩不會發音]

We considered this to be one of the lead parts.

這些故事的共通處說明了小孩願意冒險。

We had the place crammed full of agents in T-shirts:

有不知道的事，他們就用猜的。

當然，我不是說犯錯等於有創意。
