程度副詞

So yeah, I'm not gonna lie, um, I just did something kinda dope.

所以啦，我必須說，嗯，我剛剛做了一件超酷的事。

情態助動詞 B1

Dare I say, I may have just ticked off one thing on my life bucket list and, uh, I wanna talk about it.

我敢說，我可能剛剛完成了人生清單上的一件事，嗯，我想跟大家聊聊。

第二類條件句型

I mean, it's no secret if you actually clicked on this video after reading the title, but

意思就是，如果你點進這支影片是看到標題後，這也不是什麼祕密，但

Finally, I can unironically use that meme of "Thanks for coming to my TED Talk." So reverse the clock back to around, I believe it was this summer, I was heading a pop-up store over in Harajuku.

終於，我可以很自然地用那個梗「謝謝來聽我的 TED Talk」。所以把時間倒回，我想應該是今年夏天，我正在原宿經營一個快閃店。

I made a whole vlog about it, which you can click up there to check out,

我有拍一支 vlog 介紹，你可以點上面去看，

but while I was there, I had a bunch of fans coming to the store, you know, wanting to check out the staff, hang out with me,

但我在那邊的時候，有很多粉絲來店裡，你知道的，想看看店員，跟我一起玩，

and everybody who showed up there was super dope, super nice.

還有每一個來那邊的人都超讚、超親切。

And out of the many lovely fans and viewers who came to say hi to me, uh, one of them was like, "Hey Joey, I, uh, just so happen to be a student over at the University of Tsukuba," which if you guys don't know is a big university up in the Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan.

在眾多可愛的粉絲和觀眾來跟我打招呼的人當中，嗯，其中一位就說：「嘿 Joey，我，嗯，剛好是筑波大學的學生」，如果大家不知道的話，那是一所位於日本茨城縣的大學。

Word around the grapevine is that you have always wanted to do a TED Talk.

聽說你一直都想辦一場 TED Talk。

Well, funny you should say that because this year the University of Tsukuba is actually hosting a TEDx Talk, which for those of you who don't know is an independently organised TED event.

哈哈，你還真說對了，因為今年筑波大學真的要舉辦一場 TEDx Talk，如果你不知道的話，這是一個獨立舉辦的 TED 活動。

Before anything else, you'll probably explain what TED even is in case you have no idea what it is.

在講其他事情之前，你可能要先解釋一下 TED 是什麼，萬一有人完全不知道的話。

TED is a non-profit organisation, uh, which stands for Technology Entertainment Design,

TED 是一個非營利組織，嗯，它的全名是 Technology Entertainment Design，

and they're pretty famous for organising events that invite speakers, uh, from all over the world to do these short 10 to 20 minute speeches about whatever the speaker wants to talk about in hopes that it will innovate or encourage or, I guess, influence, uh, the listeners to whatever the message is that they want to portray in their speech.

他們以舉辦邀請來自世界各地的講者，進行 10 到 20 分鐘的短講，分享他們想談論的任何主題，希望能啟發、鼓勵或影響聽眾，傳達他們想在演講中表達的訊息，這點非常有名。

They've been around for quite a while, especially if you've been on YouTube during the early stages.

他們已經存在很久了，尤其如果你是早期就接觸 YouTube 的話。

Uh, I believe they really popped off around like 5, 10 years ago with just some incredible speeches,

嗯，我記得大概是五、十年前左右，他們因為一些很棒的演講而爆紅，

Uh, I watched a bunch of TED Talks while I was in university,

嗯，我在大學的時候看了很多 TED Talk，

and it really helped me a lot with just navigating through this very, uh, rickety part of my life.

這對我度過人生中非常、嗯，不穩定的這段時期幫助很大。

And I'm sure the same thing can be said for a lot of you guys watching this video as well who maybe grew up watching TED Talks on YouTube.

我敢肯定，很多正在看這支影片的你們，也是從小看著 YouTube 上的 TED Talk 長大的，對吧？

So naturally, having grown up and watched a shitload of TED Talks growing up, I always looked at that and went, "Hey, that looks kinda dope.

所以，很自然地，在看了超多 TED Talk 後，我總是會想：「嘿，這看起來超酷的。

I, I, I really wanna, like, try it out." And that's saying a lot considering that when I was in school, uh, I absolutely sucked and despised the concept of public speaking in every shape and form, so, you know, this was me really trying to, like, push myself to get over that boundary.

我、我、我真的很想，嗯，試試看。」這句話說來可不容易，因為我以前在學校時，對公開演講這件事是又爛又討厭，所以，這真的代表我當時很努力地想突破這個障礙。

I think that's something that is very important.

You know, you can't just leave your weaknesses as weaknesses.

你知道的，你不能就這樣讓自己的缺點一直當缺點。

Sometimes it's important to overcome those weaknesses and turn them into potential strengths.

有時候，克服這些弱點並將它們轉化為潛在的優勢是很重要的。

So anyway, going back to the pop-up, he was like, "Hey, would you want to potentially be one of the speakers for this TEDx U Tsukuba event that is happening at the end of this year?" And without hesitation, I said, "Absolutely, yes please." I've always wanted to do one.

總之，回到那個快閃活動，他問我：「嘿，你想不想成為今年年底在 University of Tsukuba 舉辦的 TEDx Talk 活動的講者之一？」我毫不猶豫地回答：「當然，拜託了。」我一直都很想做一次。

這一直是我人生清單上的目標。

It just looks like something that was legitimate and also interesting and challenging for me, again, as someone who's always had this dreaded fear of public speaking.

這看起來就是一件很正規、同時又很有趣、對我來說也很有挑戰的事情，尤其對我這個一直以來都對公開演講有著恐懼感的人來說。

I signed all the contractual obligations and whatnot, and then I got to work.

我簽了所有合約義務等等，然後就開始動工了。

What am I gonna make my speech on?" I watched a crapload of TED Talks, again, after it was confirmed, just to get an idea of what kind of thing I should be talking about because, you know, I think the first thing that everybody in their mind thought when, "Oh, Joey doing a TED Talk is, oh, okay.

我到底要做什麼主題演講？」我看了超多 TED Talk，再次確認後，只是想知道我該講些什麼，因為，你知道的，我認為大家心裡第一個想到的是：「喔，Joey 要做 TED Talk，喔，好。

So you're going to do a 15 minute talk on anime." I can already see a bunch of comments on this video already talking about that.

所以你要講 15 分鐘的動漫。」我已經可以看到這部影片下面一堆留言都在講這個了。

But see, as much as I feel like I'm somewhat qualified to do a TED Talk on anime, uh, I felt that it was also slightly unnecessary.

但你看，雖然我覺得自己有資格做個關於動漫的 TED Talk，嗯，但我也覺得這有點多餘。

I think at this point now, everybody and their mother knows what anime is and how dope it is.

我覺得現在這個階段，大家，連你阿姨都知道動漫是什麼，有多屌了。

And for the people who don't know it or don't think it's dope, they were never the target demographic anyway, so what's the point of even trying to get them on board?

至於那些不知道或不覺得它屌的人，他們本來就不是目標客群，所以何必費心想讓他們加入呢？

But secondly, I've made literal thousands, thousands of videos, countless hours and countless litres of ink spilled talking about all sorts of anime and the overall otaku culture in my YouTube videos.

但第二點是，我拍了數千部、數千部影片，無數小時和無數的墨水（比喻）都在我的 YouTube 影片裡談論各種動漫和整體宅文化。

So I thought, "What's the point of doing essentially what I've been doing for the past decade or so, again, this time on stage?" I thought that would be kind of a waste of time and a waste of an opportunity to potentially touch upon a subject that I had previously not really touched upon.

所以我心想：「做我過去十年來一直在做的事情，這次又在臺上做，這樣有什麼意義？」我認為那樣會有點浪費時間，也浪費了一個可以觸及我之前沒有真正觸及過的主題的機會。

So instead, I decided to pivot completely, not talk about anime whatsoever,

所以，我決定完全轉向，完全不談動漫，

but talk about something that I feel just as passionate about and I feel just as qualified about,

而是談論我同樣充滿熱情、同樣有資格談論的主題，

and that was this whole idea of cultural identity.

那就是關於文化認同的整個想法。

For those of you who are tuning into me and this channel or just me in general, um, I am half Japanese, half Australian.

對於正在收看我、收看這個頻道，或是總之認識我的人來說，嗯，我有一半日本血統，一半澳洲血統。

I was born in Australia, grew up in Australia,

but spent a lot of my childhood also in Japan and am now currently have been living permanently in Japan for the past decade.

但童年時期也在日本度過了很多時間，而且過去十年來我一直永久居住在日本。

So quick math, I've basically spent half my life in Australia, half my life in Japan.

所以簡單算一下，我基本上花了一半的人生在澳洲，一半的人生在日本。

So I feel like I'm standing in a little bit more of a unique position from your average person where I can talk about my struggles that I went through as a youth around my cultural identity.

所以我覺得我站的位置比一般人稍微獨特一些，我可以談論我年輕時在文化認同上經歷的掙扎。

所以我把這個想法提案給了 TEDx 團隊。

They loved it, and they were like, "All right.

他們很喜歡，然後他們說：「好的。

Let's get to work." Now, here's one misconception or, I guess, insider info I can tell you about TED Talks.

「那我們開始吧。」現在，這裡有一個我能告訴你關於 TED Talk 的誤解，或者說，我猜是內部消息。

Uh, even though the majority of the speech is written by obviously the speaker, aka moi, the entire TEDx team usually also aids in the construction of the speech because obviously, you know, TED is an organisation that might have some regulations,

嗯，雖然演講的大部分內容都是演講者本人寫的，也就是我，但整個 TEDx 團隊通常也會協助演講的架構，因為顯然，你知道，TED 是一個可能有某些規定的組織，

and I don't wanna say anything that would potentially upset or trigger the TED, you know, organisation because they gave me the opportunity to do such a thing.

我不想說任何可能會讓 TED 這個組織不高興或感到被冒犯的話，因為他們給了我這樣一個機會。

So I had countless, countless Zoom calls with the team who, by the way, were freaking amazing, so professional.

所以我跟團隊進行了無數次的 Zoom 通話，順帶一提，他們真的很棒，非常專業。

It's really aggravating that these kids are, like, literally in their early 20s and have so much more of a smarter brain than I do.

真的很讓人沮喪，這些年輕人，大概才二十出頭，腦袋比我聰明太多了。

I'm like, "Why are you guys not doing the speeches?

我心想：「你們為什麼不去做演講？

Why does it have to be this dumbass?" But they really helped me out to flesh out the ideas, really helped me out to see things in a different perspective because obviously we're talking about something quite sensitive like cultural identity, especially in Japan.

為什麼非得是我這個笨蛋？」但他們真的幫我把想法具體化，也幫我從不同的角度看事情，因為我們在談論的是像文化認同這樣比較敏感的議題，尤其是在日本。

So I obviously didn't wanna do a speech that was too one-sided or too biased, which does tend to happen if you are the sole person writing up the speech.

所以我當然不想做一個過於片面或有偏見的演講，這確實是如果只有一個人寫演講稿時容易發生的情況。

So it was pretty imperative to have other people and other perspectives to help make sure that my entire speech was as neutral and as grounded as it possibly could be.

所以，有其他人和其他的觀點來幫忙確保我的整個演講盡可能中立和腳踏實地，這點非常重要。

我敢說，我們做得超棒，女王。

So after many revisions, after many meetings online, we finally came up with a speech that we were happy with.

所以經過很多次的修改、很多次的線上會議，我們終於完成了一個讓我們滿意的演講。

I felt like it gave the core message of what I wanted to say,

我覺得它傳達了我最想說的核心訊息，

and so after many, many months of it first being brought up to me and after many, many iterations, the day was finally there.

所以，在它被提出來很多很多個月，經過很多很多次的修改後，那天終於來臨了。

I know for the majority of people, it's like, "Okay, whatever, Joey.

我知道對大多數人來說，會覺得「好吧，隨便啦，Joey。

That's cool." Um, but I am I'm nervous as hell, bro.

很酷。」嗯，但我真的、真的超緊張的，兄弟。

Like, I think this may be the most legitimate thing, like, the most professional thing I've done in my 12 and a half year career or just my life.

我認為這可能是我12年半的職業生涯，或是我人生中最正式、最專業的一件事了。

It's just like a 10, 15 minute speech that I do to a bunch of university students,

這只是一個10到15分鐘的演講，我要對一群大學生講，

and I think it's the whole idea of a rehearsal that makes me no more nervous for the actual thing.

我覺得就是因為要彩排這件事，反而讓我對正式演出沒那麼緊張了。

I mean, hell, we didn't even rehearse for our fucking Trash Taste Tour, so I'm not gonna keep them waiting any longer.

說真的，我們連 Trash Taste Tour 都沒彩排過，所以我不能再讓他們等了。

We're gonna head towards Tsukuba University, which actually is the first time I've ever been to Tsukuba University, so I-I'm pretty excited to check it out.

我們要前往筑波大學，這是我第一次去筑波大學，所以我超期待去看看的。

So the speech was happening on the Sunday.

I needed to go up on the Saturday to do a bit of a rehearsal to make sure that I knew exactly what was happening, where all the cameras are, because obviously it was going to be filmed and put up on the TEDx channel, which by the time you are seeing this video, my TED Talk is up on the TED channel.

我需要在星期六上去做一點彩排，確保我清楚知道所有流程、攝影機在哪裡，因為很明顯會被拍攝並放到 TEDx 頻道上，等你看到這支影片時，我的 TED Talk 已經在 TED 頻道上了。

I will leave it down in the description below if you haven't yet checked it out.

如果你還沒看過的話，我會把連結放在下方說明欄。

呃，我敢說，這是我最棒的作品之一。

It was really surreal to see the TED logo right there on the stage next to where I was going to stand because, again, you have to look at it from my perspective.

看到舞臺上有 TED 的標誌，就在我站的位置旁邊，這感覺真的很超現實，因為，再說一次，你必須從我的角度來看。

Again, I grew up watching so many TED Talks, and

再說一次，我從小就看了這麼多 TED Talk，

so many of the best speeches and inspirational stuff that I listened to were from these TED Talks.

我聽過的許多最棒的演講和勵志內容都來自這些 TED Talk。

I formed so many opinions and so many life philosophies through some of these speakers, so I needed to make sure that, at least for me, I needed my bar to be set pretty damn high to make an impact that I would be satisfied with.

我透過這些講者形塑了許多觀念和人生哲學，所以，我需要確保，至少對我來說，我必須設定一個非常高的標準，才能做出讓我滿意的影響。

I made sure to, you know, get all of the nerves out of me, and

我確保，你知道的，把所有的緊張情緒都排解掉，然後，

then, yeah, it was it was essentially go time after that.

然後，是的，在那之後基本上就是上場時間了。

Say that I was nervous backstage, uh, would be an understatement.

說我在後臺很緊張，嗯，這絕對是輕描淡寫了。

Mind you, I've done US tours and Europe tours with the boys on Trash Taste,

不過，我跟 Trash Taste 的朋友們一起去過美國和歐洲巡迴，

but this was something completely different.

Unlike the Trash Taste Tour, unlike all of the videos I post online about my opinions on anime, this felt so much more personal.

跟 Trash Taste Tour 不一樣，跟我在網路上發布的所有關於我對動漫看法的影片不一樣，這次感覺更加個人。

Like, what I was about to talk about was going to be some real personal shit.

就像，我接下來要講的內容會是非常真實的個人經歷。

Like, I made sure it was personal as well because in the slideshow that I had running in the back during my speech, I had pictures that the world has never seen before of my childhood.

像是，我確保它也很個人，因為在我演講時，背景播放的投影片裡，我放了我童年時期、全世界從沒見過的照片。

So yeah, that's something else to look forward to if you go and watch that speech.

所以，如果你去看我的演講，這也是另一件值得期待的事。

Honestly, that 10, 15 minutes on stage of me doing the speech was kind of just a blur.

說實話，我在臺上講那 10 到 15 分鐘的演講，有點像是一片模糊。

Uh, I just was trying to make sure so hard not to fumble on any words.

我只是非常努力地想確保自己不會說錯任何一個字。

Now, mind you, I didn't remember the entire TED speech.

不過，我並沒有記住整個 TED Talk。

You might see a lot of people saying, like, "Oh, yeah.

你可能會看到很多人說，「哦，對啊。
