也因此我的成長的過程挺有趣的

which is kind of an interesting way to grow up.

我需要了解我爸爸做的東西到底是什麼

I had to figure out what it is my dad did

從小到大我們聽父親說了很設計不良的東西

Dad talked a lot about bad design when we were growing up,

他總是說：約翰 人不去動腦筋才有糟糕的設計啊

you know, "Bad design is just people not thinking, John," he would say

當有小孩被旋轉式割草機弄受傷時

whenever a kid would be injured by a rotary lawn mower

or, say, a typewriter ribbon would get tangled

or an eggbeater would get jammed in the kitchen.

You know, "Design -- bad design, there's just no excuse for it.

It's letting stuff happen without thinking about it.

Every object should be about something, John.

It should cast that user in a story starring the user and the object.

Good design," my dad said, "is about supplying intent."

父親幫忙設計IBM 360電腦的控制面板

Dad helped design the control panels for the IBM 360 computer.

很了不起，也很重要 他也在柯達工作一陣子，也很重要

That was a big deal; that was important. He worked for Kodak for a while; that was important.

他幫Steelcase設計椅子、書桌 和其他的辦公設備，很重要

He designed chairs and desks and other office equipment for Steelcase; that was important.

我早就知道設計的重要 因為那是我家的經濟來源

I knew design was important in my house because, for heaven's sake, it put food on our table, right?

他在我們小時候組了一個爵士樂團

He had a Dixieland jazz band when we were growing up,

and he would always cover Louis Armstrong tunes.

And I would ask him every once in a while,

"爸，你要它聽起來跟唱片一樣嗎？"

"Dad, do you want it to sound like the record?"

我們家擺了很多老舊的爵士樂唱片

We had lots of old jazz records lying around the house.

而他總是說："不，約翰，絕對不要

The song is just a given, that's how you have to think about it.

你要讓它有你的風格，你要設計它

You gotta make it your own. You gotta design it.

Show everyone what you intend," is what he said.

讓一舉一動都出於設計 是我們都應當做的事情

"Doing that, acting by design, is what we all should be doing.

我們所有人嗎？我們都是設計師？

Well, let's hold on to that thought for just a minute.

這有點像我現在坐的輪椅，對吧？

It's kind of like this wheelchair I'm in, right?

他不能走路。有誰知道為什麼嗎？

我不是很喜歡說這個故事 但我今天會告訴你們

I don't like to talk about this very much, but I'll tell you guys the story today.

All right, exactly 36 years ago this week, that's right,

on a poorly designed road in Pennsylvania,

自那時起，輪椅成為我生命的一部分

But ever since then, the wheelchair has been a given in my life.

我的生命，任由好和壞設計所主宰

My life, at the mercy of good design and bad design.

它通常投射出悲劇、恐懼和不幸的感覺

It mostly projects tragedy and fear and misfortune,

and it projects that message, that story, so strongly

I roll swiftly through an airport, right?

母親們會把小孩抓離我的面前並說： "不要瞪著他看"

And moms grab their kids out of the way and say, "Don't stare!"

可憐的孩子，臉上流露出驚恐的表情 不知他在想什麼

The poor kid, you know, has this terrified look on his face, God knows what they think.

發生了什麼事？我能做什麼？ 我一定能做些什麼來改變這樣的事

why does this happen? What can I do about it? How can I change this? I mean there must be something.

所以我滑輪椅時試著不看別人 低頭皺眉之類的

So I would roll, I'd make no eye contact -- just kinda frown, right?

Or I'd dress up really, really sharply or something.

that was really creepy; that didn't work at all.

我試過所有方法了 甚至一個禮拜不洗澡

You know anything, I'd try. I wouldn't shower for a week -- nothing worked.

Nothing whatsoever worked until a few years ago,

我六歲的女兒們看到我的輪椅目錄，她們說：

my six-year-old daughters were looking at this wheelchair catalog that I had, and they said,

"爸！你看！你一定要買這種輪子會發光的輪椅！"

"Oh, Dad! Dad! Look, you gotta get these, these flashy wheels -- you gotta get 'em!"

而我說："孩子們，我是位很有份量的記者

And I said, "Oh, girls, Dad is a very important journalist,

And of course, they immediately concluded,

"爸，好可惜喔，你不被允許有發光的輪子

"Oh, what a bummer, Dad. Journalists aren't allowed to have flashy wheels.

那你怎麼還能算有份量的記者呢？"

I mean, how important could you be then?" they said.

為了反駁她們我說： "等等，好啦，我會買這種"

I went, "Wait a minute, all right, right -- I'll get the wheels." Purely out of protest,

我買了這台輪椅，裝上發光輪子

I got the flashy wheels, and I installed them and --

然後，你看看 可以把燈光暗下來嗎

check this out. Could I have my special light cue please?

Now ... look at, look at this! Look at this!

以前我面對的是呆滯的眼神和尷尬

People going, "Awesome wheels, dude! Those are awesome!

I mean, I want some of those wheels!" Little kids say,

And of course there's the occasional person --
