So I tried to do a small good thing for my wife.

So what I did, I&#39;d gone back to my early marriage days.

關於我做的事，這得回溯到我剛結婚的時候，

you tried to impress your wife. I did the same.

你試著感動你太太。我也這麼做。

I saw. &quot;What is that?&quot; I asked.

我看到了。我問她：「那是什麼？」

My wife replied, &quot;None of your business.&quot;

Then, being her husband, I ran behind her

身為她的先生，我跑到她後面，

I don&#39;t even use that cloth to clean my two-wheeler.

我甚至不會拿那塊布擦我的摩托車。

Then I understood this -- adapting that unhygienic method

接著我了解了 -- 她用那麼不衛生的方法

Then I immediately asked her, why are you [using] that unhygienic method?

接著我馬上問她：「為什麼你用這麼不衛生的方法？」

She replied, I also know about [sanitary pads],

她說：「我也知道衛生棉這種東西，

but myself and my sisters, if they start using that,

但是如果我還有我的姊妹們開始使用衛生棉，

我們就必須減少家中買牛奶的開支。」

Then I was shocked. What is the connection between

我聽了很震驚。這之間有什麼關連

I tried to impress my new wife by offering her a packet of sanitary pads.

我想給她一盒衛生棉，讓她印象深刻。

I went to a local shop, I tried to buy her a sanitary pad packet.

我去當地一家店舖，試著買一盒衛生棉給她。

and spreads a newspaper, rolls it into the newspaper,

翻開一張報紙，將衛生棉捲進報紙內，

gives it to me like a banned item, something like that.

I don&#39;t know why. I did not ask for a condom.

我不知道為什麼。我又不是買保險套。

Then I took that pad. I want to see that. What is inside it?

於是我拿著衛生棉。我想要看看裡面是什麼。

生平第一次，在我29歲的時候，

that day I am touching the sanitary pad, first ever.

I must know: How many of the guys here have touched a sanitary pad?

我一定要知道，現場有多少男人曾經摸過衛生棉？

They are not going to touch that, because it&#39;s not your matter.

他們不會摸啦，因為這不關你們的事。

Then I thought to myself, white substance, made of cotton --

接著我心想，白色材質，由棉花作成，

oh my God, that guy is just using a penny value of raw material --

我的天啊，這其中的原料只價值幾分錢啊

inside they are selling for pounds, dollars.

在店裡面它們以好幾英鎊、好幾美金售出。

Why not make a local sanitary pad for my new wife?

為什麼不為我的新老婆做個當地的衛生棉呢？

That&#39;s how all this started, but after making a sanitary pad,

這就是故事的開始。但是做了一塊衛生棉後，

It&#39;s not like I can just check it in the lab.

I need a woman volunteer. Where can I get one in India?

我需要一個女性自願者。在印度我哪裡找的到？

Even in Bangalore you won&#39;t get [one], in India.

即使在印度的班加羅爾你也找不到。

So only problem: the only available victim is my wife.

所以唯一的問題是：我太太是唯一可得的受試者。

Then I made a sanitary pad and handed it to Shanti -- my wife&#39;s name is Shanti.

接著我做了一塊衛生棉，拿給 Shanti -- 我太太的名字叫做 Shanti。

「閉上眼睛。不管我給你的是什麼，

也不是鑽石戒指，更不是巧克力，

I will give you a surprise with a lot of tinsel paper rolled up with it.

我要給你個用很多金箔紙包起來的驚喜。

Because it&#39;s an arranged marriage, not a love marriage.

因為我們是被指定結婚的，不是因為相愛而結婚的。

So one day she said, openly, I&#39;m not going to support this research.

於是有一天她坦白地說，她不支持這個研究了

Then other victims, they got into my sisters.

剩下的受害者就是我的姊妹們。

But even sisters, wives, they&#39;re not ready to support in the research.

即使是姊妹和妻子，她們都尚未準備好來支持這項研究。

That&#39;s why I am always jealous with the saints in India.

這也是為什麼我總是非常忌妒印度的聖人。

They are having a lot of women volunteers around them.

他們身邊總是有很多女性自願者。

You know, without them even calling, they&#39;ll get a lot of women volunteers.

你知道嗎，他們連出聲都不用，就會招來很多女性自願者。

Then I used, tried to use the medical college girls.

她們也拒絕了。最後，我決定，

Armstrong. Then Tenzing [and] Hillary, in Everest,

-- 阿姆斯壯 -- 還有第一個登上聖母峰 -- 丹增和希拉瑞 -- 的封號。

I wore a sanitary pad. I filled animal blood in a football bottle,

我用衛生棉。我將動物的血裝在足球瓶中，

I tied it up here, there is a tube going into my panties,

我把它綁高在這裡，有一條管子連到我的內褲，

while I&#39;m walking, while I&#39;m cycling, I made a press,

當我走路，騎腳踏車，我壓一下，

That makes me bow down to any woman in front of me

這讓我跟在我面前的任何女性鞠躬，

to give full respect. That five days I&#39;ll never forget --

以展現我對她們的尊敬。我永遠忘不了這五天 --

the messy days, the lousy days, that wetness.

這些混亂，糟糕的日子，還有潮濕。

我的天啊，真是令人不敢相信。

But here the problem is, one company is making napkin 

但問題是，有個公司用棉花製造餐巾。

But I am also trying to make sanitary pad with the good cotton. It&#39;s not working.

我也試著用好的棉花製作衛生棉。但是行不通。

That makes me to want to refuse to continue this research and research and research.

這讓我有了放棄持續研究的念頭。

Not only financial crises, but because of the sanitary pad research,

因為衛生棉研究，我有的不只是財務危機，

I come through all sorts of problems, including

Why is this? I used medical college girls.

為什麼？因為我和醫學院女生合作。

Finally, I came to know it is a special cellulose

derived from a pinewood, but even after that,

從松木中萃取出的特殊纖維質，但即使這樣，

you need a multimillion-dollar plant like this

你還是需要像這樣價值價千萬的工廠

to process that material. Again, a stop-up.

Then I spend another four years to create my own

於是我花了四年創造我自己的機器，

machine tools, a simple machine tool like this.

In this machine, any rural woman can apply the same

在這個機器，任何鄉村的女人可以用相同的原料，

raw materials that they are processing in the multinational plant,

像是他們在幾千萬廠房內處理的原料，

anyone can make a world-class napkin at your dining hall.

任何人都可以在你家餐廳製作世界級的餐巾。

在那之後，我做的事情是這樣的，

usually if anyone got a patent or an invention,

immediately you want to make, convert into this.

I never did this. I dropped it just like this,

我從沒這麼做。我把它像這樣丟下，
