诗人阿里（Poet Ali）：嗨。[br]观众：嗨。

0:00:02.804,0:00:06.156
阿：我想问大家一个问题。[br]你会讲多少种语言？

0:00:06.160,0:00:07.821
这不是一个设问。

0:00:08.362,0:00:10.317
我就是想你在脑海里想个数字。

0:00:10.317,0:00:11.960
对于你们中的一些人，答案很简单。

0:00:11.960,0:00:15.695
在你脑海里，你可能会说：“就一种，[br]就是你正在说的这种，哥们。我数好了。”

0:00:15.719,0:00:17.350
其他人或许在想，

0:00:17.350,0:00:20.201
前男友或前女友教你的语言，

0:00:20.201,0:00:21.928
那些你学到外语的脏话，

0:00:21.928,0:00:23.757
算不算——就把它算进去吧。

0:00:23.757,0:00:26.288
当我问自己这个问题时，[br]我数出了四种，

0:00:26.288,0:00:28.265
如果我喝醉了，可能会是五种。

0:00:29.343,0:00:30.451
（笑声）

0:00:30.475,0:00:33.329
【意大利语：加点酒，[br]我就会说意大利语。】

0:00:33.329,0:00:35.091
（掌声）

0:00:35.115,0:00:36.524
谢谢！

0:00:36.548,0:00:39.911
但近一步细数，[br]我意识到了 83 —— 83种语言，

0:00:39.935,0:00:41.922
数到这，我都懒得数下去。

0:00:41.946,0:00:45.546
它促使我重新反思我们对语言的定义。

0:00:45.570,0:00:46.777
第一个定义讲的是，

0:00:46.801,0:00:49.679
“（语言是）人类沟通的方式，[br]可以是口头或是书面形式，

0:00:49.703,0:00:53.327
它是由如何使用词汇构成的，[br]并遵循一种结构化或常规的方式。“

0:00:53.351,0:00:56.424
释义最底下写的是：针对特定领域，

0:00:56.448,0:00:58.506
像医学，科学，科技。

0:00:58.530,0:01:00.392
我们知道他们有自己的术语，

0:01:00.416,0:01:01.585
他们自己的行话。

0:01:01.609,0:01:05.107
但最让我感兴趣都是[br]中间右侧的那个释义：

0:01:05.131,0:01:09.717
“由某一个特定群体或国家[br]使用的沟通交流体系。“

0:01:09.741,0:01:12.744
我并非想要修改这个定义。

0:01:12.768,0:01:16.033
而是想把它应用到[br]我们做的所有事情上，

0:01:16.057,0:01:19.452
因为我相信我们会讲的语言[br]远远比我们意识到的多。

0:01:19.476,0:01:21.572
而接下来我们在一起的时间，

0:01:21.596,0:01:23.754
我要尝试说一种语言，

0:01:23.778,0:01:27.241
一种与在座每一位都共通的语言。

0:01:27.265,0:01:29.033
但这会改变一些事情，

0:01:29.057,0:01:32.435
因为这不再是一个演讲，

0:01:32.459,0:01:34.438
它变成了一个对话，

0:01:34.462,0:01:35.882
而在任何对话中，

0:01:35.906,0:01:38.371
必须要有些互动。

0:01:38.395,0:01:40.652
对于任何成功的互动，

0:01:40.676,0:01:44.673
必须要双方都乐于参与。

0:01:45.268,0:01:48.852
我想我们只要愿意参与，[br]我们就会看见魔法的产生，

0:01:48.876,0:01:50.713
只需要怀有一丝乐意。

0:01:50.737,0:01:55.774
所以我选择了一个[br]相对低风险的共同语，

0:01:55.798,0:01:58.540
如果我们都愿意，[br]那便可以由此确认。

0:01:58.564,0:02:00.863
如果开心，你知道的，[br]你就拍拍手。

0:02:00.887,0:02:01.980
（拍手）

0:02:02.004,0:02:04.523
现在，你就在讲话！

0:02:04.547,0:02:07.114
【西班牙语：如果你们中会讲西班牙语的，

0:02:07.144,0:02:08.938
请起立。

0:02:10.575,0:02:14.244
现在看着坐在你身边的人，

0:02:14.268,0:02:16.205
然后开始大笑。】

0:02:16.229,0:02:19.552
（笑声）

0:02:19.552,0:02:21.703
非常感谢，请坐。

0:02:21.727,0:02:23.825
现在，如果你们感觉有点尴尬，

0:02:23.849,0:02:27.466
我可以保证刚才没有取笑你们。

0:02:27.490,0:02:31.773
我只是请会讲西班牙语的观众起立，

0:02:31.797,0:02:35.813
看着坐在他们右边领座的人，并大笑。

0:02:35.837,0:02:38.514
我知道这样做不好，我很抱歉，

0:02:38.538,0:02:40.141
但就在刚刚那一刻，

0:02:41.211,0:02:43.042
我们中有些人感受到了些东西。

0:02:43.066,0:02:45.349
你看，当我会说某人的语言时，

0:02:45.373,0:02:47.034
我通常会意识到语言的作用，

0:02:47.058,0:02:49.203
它能用以联系彼此，[br]它能用以连结你我。

0:02:49.227,0:02:52.437
但是当我们不会说那种语言时，[br]我们往往会忘了它的作用，

0:02:52.461,0:02:55.165
它会带来隔阂，[br]它会带来排斥。

0:02:55.189,0:02:57.649
在我们继续探索语言之旅中，

0:02:57.673,0:03:01.256
我想要大家要始终记住它。

0:03:01.280,0:03:04.388
【波斯语：我想解释一下[br]“Taarof” 这个词。】

0:03:04.412,0:03:06.317
我刚用波斯语说，“我想要解释下

0:03:06.341,0:03:08.957
“Taarof” 在波斯文化里的意义，

0:03:08.981,0:03:12.762
在英语里完全没有与它匹配的词汇。

0:03:12.786,0:03:15.638
能最好定义它的是类似[br]一种极其的优雅，

0:03:15.662,0:03:16.992
或者极其的谦恭。

0:03:17.016,0:03:18.927
但是这还不算完，

0:03:18.951,0:03:20.287
那我给大家举个例子。

0:03:20.311,0:03:22.357
如果两位绅士在路上遇见，

0:03:22.357,0:03:24.679
通常一个人会说，

0:03:24.679,0:03:26.286
【波斯语】，

0:03:26.300,0:03:28.029
它的意思是，“我亏欠你很多。“

0:03:28.343,0:03:30.202
另一位绅士会回答，

0:03:30.202,0:03:32.025
【波斯语】

0:03:32.045,0:03:34.172
意思是，“我为你敞开衬衫。“

0:03:34.724,0:03:36.591
第一位家伙就会回道，

0:03:36.615,0:03:38.020
【波斯语】

0:03:38.020,0:03:39.749
意思是，“我是你的仆人。”

0:03:39.773,0:03:42.139
接着，第二位家伙又会回他，

0:03:42.163,0:03:44.230
【波斯语】

0:03:44.230,0:03:46.904
字面上的意思是，[br]“我就是你脚下的尘埃。”

0:03:46.904,0:03:47.993
（笑声）

0:03:48.017,0:03:51.239
如果你们还是想象不到，[br]大概就是图里这个样子。

0:03:51.263,0:03:52.351
（笑声）

0:03:52.375,0:03:54.744
而我与大家分享，是因为

0:03:54.768,0:03:59.295
新的语言会带来[br]你从前不了解的新概念，

0:03:59.319,0:04:00.477
另外，

0:04:00.501,0:04:04.455
有时我们认为语言[br]就是了解单词的含义，

0:04:04.479,0:04:08.575
但我相信语言就是[br]让一个单词对你有意义。

0:04:09.194,0:04:12.048
如果我在屏幕上闪过这一段词汇，

0:04:12.072,0:04:15.139
你们中有些人，[br]会很快知道它的涵义，

0:04:15.163,0:04:17.545
而另外的人，却完全没有头绪。

0:04:17.569,0:04:20.055
我大概可以清楚的划分

0:04:20.079,0:04:24.514
年纪大概是 35 岁及以上，[br]和 35 岁及以下。
