generally what happens is the speaker says something along the lines of you need to chase your dreams.

一般情況下，演講者會說 "你需要追逐夢想 "之類的話。

But I'm not going to say that because I don't believe it.

但我不會這麼說，因為我不相信。

Inception had something to say about this.

對此，《盜夢空間》有話要說。

Uh, and I apologize to those of you who haven't seen it, because I'm about to spoil the ending of it for you.

呃，我向那些沒看過這部電影的人道歉，因為我要破壞你們的結局了。

But at the end of the film, there's a spinning top that's spinning and if it falls or doesn't fall

但在影片的結尾，有一個旋轉的陀螺，如果它掉下來或沒有掉下來

is the key idea. Is it a dream? Is it a reality?

是關鍵所在。它是夢想嗎？是現實嗎？

And the way the end of that film worked, Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Cobb, he was off with his kids, he was in his own subjective reality,

那部電影的結尾，萊昂納多-迪卡普里奧飾演的科布帶著孩子們離開了，他沉浸在自己的主觀現實中、

and didn't really care anymore, and that makes a statement that perhaps all levels of reality are equally valid.

這就說明，也許現實的各個層面都同樣有效。

The camera moves over to the spinning top and just before the spinning top appears to be wobbling, there's a cut to black,

鏡頭移向陀螺，就在陀螺出現晃動之前，畫面切換為黑色、

and I skip out of the back of the theater before people catch me.

我在人們發現我之前跳出了影院的後門。

And there's a very, very strong reaction from the audience, uh, usually a bit of a groan, but, um,

觀眾的反應非常非常強烈 通常會有一些呻吟聲 但是

but the point is, objectively, it matters to the audience in absolute terms, even though what they're watching is a fiction, is its own virtual reality.

但問題是，客觀地說，這對觀眾來說是絕對重要的，儘管他們觀看的是虛構的、虛擬的現實。

But the question of whether that's a dream or whether it's real, is the one I've been asked the most about any of the the films I've made.

但在我拍攝的所有電影中，被問得最多的問題就是 "這究竟是夢境還是現實"。

It matters to people enormously, and that's the point about reality. Reality matters.

這對人們來說非常重要，這就是現實的意義所在。現實很重要。

It's time for something of a reframing and it's something that your generation could do that my generation can't.

We are firmly embedded in the belief that we have changed the world in all kinds of incredible ways.

我們堅信，我們已經以各種不可思議的方式改變了世界。

And we have all kinds of ways of selling this to you and you know, we use fancy words, like disruption, um, which is essentially a form of sort of economic nihilism whereby,

我們有各種各樣的方式向你兜售這一點，你知道，我們使用花哨的詞，比如破壞，嗯，這本質上是一種形式的經濟虛無主義、

you you judge the value of a company by how much it can stop other companies making money, rather than what they actually make themselves.

你判斷一家公司的價值，是看它能阻止其他公司賺多少錢，而不是看它自己實際賺了多少錢。

That's there for those of you going into finance by the way, just trying to lay a little groundwork there.

順便說一下，這是為那些要進入金融行業的人準備的，只是想在這裡打下一點基礎。

And we use words, slippery words, uh, like algorithm, okay?

我們用了一些詞，滑溜溜的詞，呃，比如算法，好嗎？

Now if you hear someone use the word algorithm and they're not a mathematics professor or a computer scientist, they're probably trying to obscure what it is they actually do, what their company does.

現在，如果你聽到有人使用算法這個詞，而他們又不是數學教授或計算機科學家，那麼他們很可能是在試圖掩蓋他們的實際工作，他們的公司是做什麼的。

At the very least, they're trying to evade any responsibility for what it is that their company does or what it actually does.

最起碼，他們在試圖逃避對自己公司所做的事情或實際工作的責任。

Oscar Wilde once said, the old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.

奧斯卡-王爾德曾說過：老人相信一切，中年人懷疑一切，年輕人知道一切。

You do know everything.

你確實什麼都知道。

Uh, I'm clearly in my suspicious phase.

很明顯，我現在正處於多疑期。

And I'd love to impart some of that to you because I think there's an enormous amount of work to be done, and in the great tradition of these speeches, I don't have to tell you how to do it.

我很樂意向你們傳授一些經驗，因為我認為有大量的工作要做，而按照這些演講的偉大傳統，我不必告訴你們如何去做。

I just have to tell you that it's your problem now.

And in the great tradition of these speeches, generally what happens is the speaker says something along the lines of you need to chase your dreams.

But I'm not going to say that because I don't believe it. I don't want you to chase your dreams.

但我不會這麼說，因為我不相信。我不希望你去追逐夢想。

I want you to chase your reality, and I want you to understand that you chase your reality not at the expense of your dreams,

我希望你們追逐自己的現實，我希望你們明白，追逐現實不能以犧牲夢想為代價、

but as the foundation of your dreams.
