Then, I don't look it, but I was the Indian national squash champion

我不需要擔憂, 而我曾是印度國家壁球比賽

I went to what was called the worst Bihar famine in India,

我來到了印度有史以來最大的比哈爾邦飢荒,

people dying of hunger, for the first time.

"I'd like to live and work in a village."

"我要去鄉下工作, 在那裡生活."

The whole world is laid out for you, the best jobs are laid out for you,

你的人生已經定下來了, 最上層的工作你也可以得到,

and you want to go and work in a village?

你現在告訴我你想到鄉下去工作?

I mean, is there something wrong with you?"

我想知道你是哪根經不對了嗎?"

我告訴她: ”我沒問題, 我得到了最好的教育.

You went to the most expensive school and college in India,

你一直都念的是全印度最貴的學校,

and you want to dig wells for five years?"

She didn't speak to me for a very long time,

後來很長一段時間她沒和我說話,

because she thought I'd let my family down.

I was exposed to the most extraordinary knowledge and skills

which are never brought into the mainstream --

這些從來沒有主流媒體上出現過

因為從來沒有被人注意過和尊重過，

And I thought I'd start a Barefoot College --

I went to this village for the first time.

and said, "Are you running from the police?"

"You didn't get a government job?" I said, "No."

makes you look at Paris and New Delhi and Zurich;

會讓你嚮往巴黎, 新德里, 蘇黎世那種地方;

你來這個鄉村的目的到底是什麼?

Is there something wrong with you you're not telling us?"

I said, "No, I want to actually start a college

我說:"沒有, 我其實是想創辦一所學院

What the poor thought was important would be reflected in the college."

貧民的想法可以在這個學院中變為現實."

So the elders gave me some very sound and profound advice.

don't bring anyone with a degree and qualification

where, if you should have a Ph.D. or a Master's,

You have to be a cop-out or a wash-out or a dropout

你必須要是一名逃學者, 考試不及格者, 或是輟學者

You have to show that you have a skill that you can offer to the community

還要向社區證明你有他們需要的技能

A traditional bone setter is a professional.

These are professionals all over the world.

You find them in any inaccessible village around the world.

任何偏僻的鄉村裡都有他們的身影.
