My name is Arvind Gupta, and I'm a toymaker.

I've been making toys for the last 30 years.

by the anti-Vietnam movement, the Civil Rights movement.

在印度，我們有納薩爾派的運動

But you know, when there is a political churning of society,

但你知道當社會上有政治的擾動時

Lots of people resigned from well-paid jobs

There was a person, Anil Sadgopal, did a Ph.D. from Caltech

有一個叫做Gopal的人，他在加州理工學院拿到博士

and returned back as a molecular biologist

in India's cutting-edge research institute, the TIFR.

在TIFR，印度最重要的研究中心工作

to relate the kind of [unclear] research,

which he was doing with the lives of the ordinary people.

So he designed and went and started a village science program.

所以他企劃了一個鄉鎮科學計畫，並開始實行

Start from what they know. Build on what they have."

「從人民知道的著手，從他們已擁有開始建設」

I joined Telco, made TATA trucks, pretty close to Pune.

我進入Telco工作，在哪裡生產TATA卡車，就在Pune附近

and I realized that I was not born to make trucks.

然後我發現自己不適合去做卡車

Often one doesn't know what one wants to do,

but it's good enough to know what you don't want to do.

但是知道自己不想做什麼也夠好的了

So I took one year off, and I went to this village science program.

所以我請了一年假，去參加這個鄉鎮科學計畫

where people, just once in a week, they put in all the vats.

村民在這一星期一次的市集會把東西拿出來都裝在桶里

So I said, "I'm going to spend a year over here."

我告訴自己：「你將要在這裡過一年了」

of everything which was sold on the roadside.

When you pump in air in a bicycle, you use a bit of this.

當你要幫腳踏車充氣時會用到它

so you take a bit of this cycle valve tube,

you can put two matchsticks inside this, and you make a flexible joint.

你可以把兩根火柴放進去，就可以做出一個可動關節

It's a joint of tubes. You start by teaching angles --

兩根管子的連結，你可以從教角度開始

an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, a straight angle.

If you have three of them, and you loop them together,

如果你有三個，然後你把它們連起來

If you look at the hexagon, for instance,

it's like an amoeba, which is constantly changing its own profile.

它就像是一隻阿米巴，可以不停的改變外貌

You can just pull this out, this becomes a rectangle.

You give it a push, this becomes a parallelogram.

pull this out -- it becomes a boat shape trapezium.

把這個拔起，就變成像船一樣的梯形

This square might look very square and prim.

這個正方形看起來非常整齊方正

Give it a little push -- this becomes a rhombus.

Because triangles are the only rigid structures.

because the train would come, it would start doing a jig.

因為當火車經過時這種橋會劇烈搖晃

因為你只要到印度任一村莊瞧瞧

they might not have gone to engineering college,

他們也許沒有主修工程的大學文憑

but no one makes a roof placed like this.

Because if they put tiles on top, it's just going to crash.

因為這種屋頂一放上瓦片就會垮掉

And if you were to just poke a hole over here

And if I were to poke all the three legs of this

如果我在這個三角形的三個頂點上
