to 不定詞

I would like to tell you about a project which I started about 16 years ago.

譯者: Yu-Ju Chiang 審譯者: Ai-Ying (Erin) Chiang

動名詞

And these are made of this kind of tube --

and we can see a little bit backwards in time.

(Video) Narrator: Eventually, these beasts are going to live in herds on the beaches.

Theo Jansen is working hard on this evolution.

Theo Jansen: I want to put these forms of life on the beaches.

影片解說: 最後，這些怪獸將群居在海灘上

泰奧‧揚森對這個生物的進化付出極大的努力

我希望這些新生命被放在海灘上後

Narrator: The mechanical beasts will not get their energy from food,

不過還需要幾年的時間研究如何讓他們自行走動

影片解說: 這些機械怪獸不是從食物中得到能量，而是利用風

The wind will move feathers on their back, which will drive their feet.

風會吹動它們背上的羽毛，帶動他們的腳

The beast walks sideways on the wet sand of the beach,

這隻怪獸在溼溼的海灘上橫著走

As soon as it walks into either the rolling surf or the dry sand,

只要走到不平的路面或是乾的沙子上就會停止移動

it stops, and walks in the opposite direction.

這是一個根據遺傳密碼打造出來的族群

它也算是一個物種，而且每個怪獸都是獨一無二的

TJ: This is a herd, and it is built according to genetic codes.

And it is a sort of race, and each and every animal is different,

This is the wave, going from left to right.

當風把空氣打入檸檬汁的瓶子裡

它們可以利用這個能量，萬一風停了

或漲潮了，還有一點能量可以使用

So, the wings pump up air in lemonade bottles,

讓它們能走到沙丘避難，因為它們很容易淹死

And they can use that energy in case the wind falls away,

and there is still a little bit of energy to reach the dunes and save their lives,

為了能流暢的走動，管子的精確比例是很重要的

總共有 11 個數字，我稱為 11 個神聖數字

這些使它們能流暢運作的數字代表了管子之間的距離

事實上，這是一種新發明的輪子

So, the proportion of the tubes in this animal is very important for the walking.

其實，這比輪子還要好用，因為

There are 11 numbers, which I call The 11 Holy Numbers.

These are the distances of the tubes which make it walk that way.

In fact, it's a new invention of the wheel.

但輪子必須輾過需要經過的每一吋地

The axis of a wheel stays on the same level,

and this hip is staying on the same level as well.

我們創造出新的輪子，下一段影片會展示

because when you try to drive your bicycle on the beach,

這個龐然大物只要有人在後面推

and the wheel has to touch every piece of the ground in-between.

So 5,000 years after the invention of the wheel,

這隻只利用瓶子裡儲存的風來驅動

它還有感應器，可以感應路上的阻礙然後轉彎

你看這隻怪獸，它往另一個方向走了

因為他們必須避開海邊的各種危險

but it can also walk on the wind very well.

而海就是最大的危險之一。假設這是海

This is working on the stored wind in the bottles.

It has a feeler, where it can feel obstacles and turn around.

這根管子的重要性就在於，平常它是吸入空氣的

然而要是管子中灌入了水，它會感應到對水的排斥

只要一碰到水，你可以聽到類似空氣流動的聲音

So, they have to survive all the dangers of the beach,

成功了！如果他沒辦法感應到，就會淹死，是吧？

其實這是一個計步器，它會計算步數

怪獸就會知道自己在海灘的相對位置，這是個簡單的大腦

but when it swallows water, it feels the resistance of it.

大腦告訴它，那裡是海，那邊有沙丘，我在這邊

So, imagine that the animal is walking towards the sea.

它幫生活在海邊的怪獸描繪出一個簡單的世界

另一個生存的最大敵人就是暴風雨

這是 Animaris Percipiere 鼻子的一部分

一旦怪獸鼻子動不了，整隻怪獸就會固定不動

So if it doesn't feel, it will be drowned, OK?

In fact, it is a step counter, and it counts the steps.

鼻子固定住了，整隻怪獸就固定在地上了

風向會改變，但是怪獸會跟著風向變換鼻子方向

再過幾年，這些怪獸就能獨自生活

it changes the pattern of zeroes and ones here.

And it always knows where it is on the beach.

It says, well, there's the sea, there are dunes, and I'm here.

So it's a sort of imagination of the simple world of the beach animal.

One of the biggest enemies are the storms.

This is a part of the nose of the Animaris Percipiere.

When the nose of the animal is fixed, the whole animal is fixed.
