TED英语演讲：我为什么要制造无用的东西
在这个愉快的，发自内心的演讲中，西蒙妮·吉尔茨分享了她的手艺：制造无用的机器人。她的发明-设计用来切蔬菜、剪头发、涂口红等等-很少(如果有的话)成功，这就是重点。吉尔茨说：“制造无用事物的真正美妙之处在于承认你并不总是知道最好的答案是什么。”“它关闭了你头脑中的声音，告诉你确切地知道这个世界是如何运作的。也许牙刷头盔不是答案，但至少你在问这个问题。下面是小编为大家收集关于TED英语演讲：我为什么要制造无用的东西，欢迎借鉴参考。

Hello. My name is Simone. You know how people tell you if you get nervous when onstage, picture people in the audien cenaked? Like it's this thing that's suppod to make you feel better. But I was thinking -- picturing all of you naked in 2018 feels kind of weird and wrong.
大家好。我是Simone。人们总是告诉你当你在舞台上感到紧张的时候，假想观众都没穿衣服
就好了。说的就像这真能让你感觉好点一样。但是我一直在想——在2018年想象你们都没穿衣服实在有点不太对啊。
Like, we're working really hard on moving past stuff like that, so we need anew method of dealing with if you get nervous onstage. And I realized that whatI'd really like is that I can look at you as much as you're looking at me --just to even things out a little bit. So if I had way more eyeballs, then we'dall be really comfortable, right? So in preparation for this talk, I made mylf a shirt.(Rattling)
关于长大的名言
我们都有在努力克服这样的问题，所以我们需要一种新方法，来应付舞台恐惧症。我意识到，我真正想要的是我能跟你们看着我一样看着你们，只是为了公平一点。所以如果我有更多眼睛的话，那我们就都会很舒服，对吧?所以为了准备这次演讲我给自己做了件T恤(窸窸窣窣的声音)
It's googly eyes. It took me 14 hours and 227 googly eyes to make this shirt. And being able to look at you as much asyou're looking at me is actually only half of the reason I made this. The other half is being able to do this.(Googly eyes rattle)
这就是大眼睛T恤。花了我14个小时，以及227个大眼睛贴片。能够像你们看着我一样看着你们这件事，其实只是我制作这件T恤的部分原因。另一半原因是我可以这么玩儿。(大眼睛T恤的响声)
门槛石颜色So I do a lot of things like this. I e aproblem and I invent some sort of solution to it. For example, brushing your teeth. Like, it's this thing we all have to do, it's kind of boring, and nobody really likes it. If there were any ven-year-olds in the audience, they'd belike, "Yes!" So what about if you had a machine that could do it foryou?
我做过很多这样的事。我发现了一个问题，就会发明某个解决方法来应对它。比如刷牙这件事：这就是一件大家都得做，但是又有点无聊的事，而且没人真正喜欢刷牙。如果在座有7岁小朋友的话，他们肯定会大喊“就是这样!”那么要不要来一台自动帮你刷牙的机器呢?
I call it ... I call it "TheToothbrush Helmet."(Robot arm buzzing)
我给它取了名，叫做“牙刷头盔”。(机器人的手臂声)
So my toot brush helmet is recommended by zero out of 10 dentists, and it definitely did
500字的检讨书not revolutionize the world of dentistry, but it did completely change my life. Becau I finished making this toothbrush helmet three years ago and after I finished making it, I went into my living room and I put up a camera, and I filmed a ven-cond clip of it working.

10位牙医中，有0位推荐了我的牙刷头盔，它也肯定不算颠覆牙医界的伟大发明，但它确实改变了我的生活。因为3年前我做出了这个头盔，完成制作之后，我在客厅架起了摄像机，录了一个7秒长的头盔操作视频。
And by now, this is a pretty standard modern-day fairy tale of girl posting on the internet, the internet takes the girl by storm, thousands of men voyage into the comment ctions to ask for her hand in marriage --She ignores all of them, starts a YouTube channel and keeps on building robots.
现在，这成了一个标准的现代版童话：一个女孩在网上发帖，跟上了互联网浪潮，数以千计的男人们涌进评论区，邀请她进入婚姻殿堂——而她无视了他们所有人，创立了一个YouTube频道，继续搭建机器人。
貌似强大
Since then, I've carved out this little niche for mylf on the internet as an inventor of uless machines, becau aswe all know, the easiest way to be at the top of your field is to choo a very small field.
从那时起我在互联网上为自己发掘出了这么一个商机：无用机器发明者。因为大家都知道，成为你所在行业顶尖人物的最简单方法，就是选择一个非常小的行业。
So I run a YouTube channel about my machines, and I've done things like cutting hair with drones --(Drone buzzes)(Drone crashes)(Drone buzzes)
所以我在运营一个关于我的机器的YouTube频道，我有试过用无人机剪头发——(无人机噪声)(无人机坠毁)(无人机噪声)
东方资产To a machine that helps me wake up in the morning --(Alarm)
(Video) Simone: Ow!
业业
我还做过一台闹钟机器——(闹铃声)
(视频)Simone：噢!
To this machine that helps me chop vegetables.(Knives chop)
还有这台帮我切菜的机器。(切菜声)
I'm not an engineer. I did not study engineering in school. But I was a super ambitious student growing up. In middle school and high school, I had straight A's, and I graduated at the topof my year. On the flip side of that, I struggled with very vere performance anxiety.
我不是个工程师，我没学过工程学，但我从小就是个特别有远大志向的学生。无论初中高中我一路拿的都是A，而且我毕业那年还是名列前茅的。但另一面是，我当时有非常严重的表现焦虑。
Here's an email I nt to my brother around that time. "You won't understand how difficult it is for me to tell you, to confess this. I'm so freaking embarrasd. I don't want people to think that I'm stupid. Now I'm starting to cry too. Damn." And no, I did not accidentally bur
n ourparents' hou down. The thing I'm writing about in the email and the thing I'mso upt about is that I got a B on a math test.
这是一封当时我写给我兄弟的邮件。“你不会明白，光是告诉你这件事，对我来说有多难。实在是太难堪了。我不希望人们觉得我是个傻子。我现在居然还开始哭了。真讨厌。”别误会，我可没有不小心把爸妈的房子烧了。信里面那件让我如此焦虑不安的事其实是，有一次数学测验我只拿了B。
So something obviously happened between here and here.One of tho things was puberty.
谎言西西里所以这两种情况之间一定发生了什么事情。其中一件是青春期的到来。
Beautiful time indeed. But more over, I got interested in building robots, and I wanted to teach mylf about hardware. But building things with hardware, especially if you're teaching yourlf, is something that's really difficult to do. It has a high likelihood of failure and more over, it has a high likelihood of making you feel stupid. And that was my biggest fear at the time.
