So, imagine you're standing on a street anywhere in America and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
Kujutle, et sa seisad ükskõik millisel Ameerika tänaval ja sulle läheneb jaapanlane, kes küsib:
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
"Vabandust, mis on selle kvartali nimi?"
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street. This is 26th, that's 27th."
Ja sina vastad: "Vabandust, mida? Selle tänava nimi on Oak Street ja see on Elm Street. See on 26. ja see 27. avenüü."
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
Tema vastab: "Selge, aga mis on selle kvartali nimi?"
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names. Streets have names; blocks are just the unnamed spaces in between streets."
Sina vastad: "Noh, kvartalitel ei ole nimesid. Tänavatel on nimed; kvartalid on kõigest nimetud paigad tänavate vahel."
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
Ta läheb eemale, veidi segaduses ja pettunud.
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan, you turn to a person next to you and say,
Nüüd kujuta, et sa seisad ükskõik millisel Jaapani tänaval. Sa pöördud kõrvalseisja poole ja küsid:
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
"Vabandust, mis on selle tänava nimi?"
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
Tema vastab: "See siin on 17. ja see on 16. kvartal."
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
Sina vastad: "Selge, aga mis on selle tänava nimi?"
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names. Blocks have names. Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. All of these blocks have names, and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
Ja tema vastab: "Tänavatel ei ole nimesid. Kvartalitel on nimed. Vaata seda Google Maps kaarti. Siin on kvartal 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Kõigil kvartalitel on nimed. Tänavad on vaid nimetud paigad kvartalite vahel.
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
Ja sa vastad siis: "Okei, aga kuidas sa siis oma aadressi tead?"
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight. There's Block 17, house number one."
Ta vastab: "Lihtne, see on piirkond number kaheksa. Selles on kvartal 17, maja nuber Üks."
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood, I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
Sa mainid: "Okei. Aga ümbruskonnas jalutades märkasin ma, et majade numbrid ei ole järjestikused."
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built. The first house ever built on a block is house number one. The second house ever built is house number two. Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
Ta vastab: "Muidugi on. Nad on järjestatud ehitamise järjekorras. Esimene maja, mis sellesse kvartalisse ehitatakse, on maja number üks. Teisena ehitatud maja on maja number kaks. Kolmas on maja number kolm. Lihtne. See on ju ilmselge."
So, I love that sometimes we need to go to the opposite side of the world to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had, and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
Mulle meeldib, et vahetevahel peame me minema teisele poole maakera, et saada aru oletustest, mille olemasolu me isegi ei teadnud, ja mõista, et vastandid võivad samuti tõesed olla.
So, for example, there are doctors in China who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy. So, any month you are healthy you pay them, and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick. (Applause)
Näiteks, Hiinas on arstid, kes usuvad, et nende töö on sind tervena hoida. Seega maksad sa neile iga kuu eest, mil sa oled olnud terve, ja kui sa jääd haigeks, ei pea sa neile maksma, kuna nad ei saanud oma tööga hakkama. Nad saavad rikkaks siis, kui sa oled terve, mitte haige. (Aplaus)
In most music, we think of the "one" as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four. But in West African music, the "one" is thought of as the end of the phrase, like the period at the end of a sentence. So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music: two, three, four, one.
Muusikas mõtleme me enamasti, et "üks" on takti avalöök, muusikalise fraasi algus. Üks, kaks, kolm, neli. Kuid Lääne-Aafrika muusikas on "üks" hoopis fraasi lõpp nagu paus lause lõpus. Seega, seda kuuleb mitte ainult fraasides, vaid kogu nende muusikas. Kaks, kolm, neli, üks.
And this map is also accurate. (Laughter)
Ja see kaart on ka täpne. (Naer)
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India, the opposite is also true. So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else, that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear, that the opposite may also be true. Domo arigato gozaimashita.
On üks ütlus, et iga India kohta tõese väite puhul on ka selle vastand tõene. Niisiis, ärme kunagi unusta, nii TEDi konverentsil kui kõikjal mujal, et mistahes geniaalse idee puhul, mis sul on või mida sa kuuled, selle vastand võib samuti tõene olla. Domo arigato gozaimashita. (Tänan!)
