程度副詞

There's an old saying, "Just because you can't see something,

俗語有云：「儘管你看不到一件事物，

反身代名詞

My work is -- it's a reflection of myself.

是讓世人明白，微不足道的事物

you know, if we look down on the ground, there's nothing there.

如果我們望望地上，看不到甚麼

Nothing doesn't exist, because there is always something.

我們很自然就用「空無一物」來形容。

My mother told me that, when I was a child,

但「空無一物」並不存在，因為那裡總有一點甚麼。

that I should always respect the little things.

What made me do this work? I shall go into my story.

是甚麼令我開始藝術創作呢？我應該從我的故事說起。

What made me do it? At school, I will admit this:

是其麼令我開始呢？我得承認，是在學校裡，

So I was, more or less, classed as "nothing."

所以我某程度上被歸類為「甚麼也不是」。

So I decided I didn't really want to be a part of that world.

於是我決定我不想成為那個世界的一部份。

So when my mother used to take me to school,

and I used to do a U-turn, when her back was turned,

and run off and hide in the shed at the back of the garden.

其實我總會在她轉身後來個急轉彎，

My mother was like the woman in Tom and Jerry.

我媽就像卡通《猫和老鼠》裡那個女人。

And then she said -- grabbed me like that, because my mother was quite big --

然後她說（她像這樣抓著我，因為她個子挺高大的）

I told her I couldn't face it because the way

the teacher was treating me, ridiculing me,

老師對待我的態度，她們總是在刁難我，

At that age, obviously, I couldn't express it that way,

當然，那個年紀的我不懂得這樣表達出來

And then she just said, "You're going back to school tomorrow."

And walked off. And I didn't expect that,

然後她說：「你明天給我回到學校去。」

說完便走開了。這跟我預期的很不一樣。

我以為會她會這樣對我......(打屁股)

I noticed there was some ants running around.

And I went into this little fantasy world.

於是我走進這個細小的幻想世界裡。

"These ants, are they looking for the queen ant?

「這些螞蟻，牠們在尋找蟻后嗎？

抑或牠們只是需要一個棲息的地方？」

And how I set about that, I got some splinters of wood.

And I sliced the little splinters of wood with a broken shard of glass,

開始時，我先找來一些碎木片。

然後我用一片玻璃碎把木片削薄。

Well it looked like a little shanty shed when I'd finished.

But I thought, perhaps the ant won't know, it'll probably move in.

完成後，它看起來就像一間簡陋的小木屋。

但我心想，或許螞蟻們不會知道，而願意遷入。

That was a bit crude, at the time. And I made all these little apartments

and little merry-go-rounds, seesaws and swings, little ladders.

那時的作品有點粗糙，但我還是造了很多小公寓，

And then I encouraged the ants to come 'round by putting sugar and things like that.

還有小型的旋轉木馬、蹺蹺板、鞦韆和梯子。

And then I sat down and all the ants came along.

然後我放置糖粒之類的東西，鼓勵螞蟻們造訪

And all I could hear was "Is this for us?"

接著我坐下來，看著螞蟻開始聚集。

我彷彿聽到：「這些是為我們造的嗎？」

And they moved in, and decided not to pay me any rent.

我說：「是的，全都是給你們造的。」

於是牠們搬進去，還決定不付我任何租金。

And from there I was watching this little world.

我便想用這個我們看不到的世界

So I realized that there was more to life

than just everything that we see around us that's huge.

所以我意識到，生命不只局限於

So I started to educate myself on this molecular level.

我們週遭一切看到的、巨大的事物。

And as I got older, I continued. I showed my mother.

於是我開始在這種分子的層面上教育自己。

我長大後一直繼續著。當我展示作品給我媽看時，

The gentleman who commissioned me to do this

And he says to me "Willard, can you put my house on a pinhead?"

他對我說：「Willard，你能夠把我的房子放到釘頭上嗎？」

So I say, "How are you going to fit in there?"

於是我說：「你怎樣擠到裡面去呢？」

"I don't believe you can do it. Can you really do it?"

「我不相信你能做到。你真的能夠做到嗎？」
