Hi, everyone. I'm Sirena. I'm 11 years old and from Connecticut. (Audience cheers)
Zdravo svima. Ja sam Serina. Imam 11 godina i iz Konektikata sam.
(Applause)
(Aplauz)
Well, I'm not really sure why I'm here.
Zapravo, nisam sigurna zašto sam ovde.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
I mean, what does this have to do with technology, entertainment and design? Well, I count my iPod, cellphone and computer as technology, but this has nothing to do with that.
Mislim, kakve ovo veze ima sa tehnologijom, zabavom i dizajnom? Računam svoj ajpod, telefon i kompjuter kao tehnologiju ali ovo nema veze sa time.
So I did a little research on it. Well, this is what I found. Of course, I hope I can memorize it.
Tako da sam uradila malo istraživanje. Ovo sam otkrila. Naravno, nadam se da mogu da zapamtim to.
(Clears throat)
The violin is made of a wood box and four metal strings. By pulling a string, it vibrates and produces a sound wave, which passes through a piece of wood called a bridge, and goes down to the wood box and gets amplified, but ... let me think.
Violina je u principu napravljena od drvene kutije i četiri glavne žice. Svirajući po žicama, one vibriraju i stvaraju zvučne talase. Zvuk prolazi kroz komad drveta koji se zove kobilica i silazi do drvene kutije i pojačava se
(Laughter)
ali... da razmislim. (Smeh)
Placing your finger at different places on the fingerboard changes the string length, and that changes the frequency of the sound wave. (Sighs) Oh, my gosh!
U redu. Sa druge strane kada stavite prst na drugo mesto na hvatniku to menja dužinu žice i frekvenciju zvučnih talasa.
(Laughter)
O, moj bože!
OK, this is sort of technology, but I can call it a 16th-century technology. But actually, the most fascinating thing that I found was that even the audio system or wave transmission nowadays are still based on the same principle of producing and projecting sound. Isn't that cool?
(Smeh) U redu. Ovo je neka vrsta tehnologije ali mogla bih je nazvati tehnologijom 16. veka. Zapravo, najfascinantnija stvar koju sam otkrila je da je čak i sistem zvuka ili prenosa talasa danas u principu zasnovan na istom principu stvaranja i projektovanja zvuka.
(Laughter)
Zar to nije super?
(Applause)
(Smeh)
Design -- I love its design. I remember when I was little, my mom asked me, "Would you like to play the violin or the piano?" I looked at that giant monster and said to myself -- "I am not going to lock myself on that bench the whole day!"
(Aplauz) Dizajn - obožavam njen dizajn. Sećam se kada sam bila mala i kada me je mama pitala da li želim da sviram violinu ili klavir? Pogledala sam to ogromno čudovište i rekla sebi - neću da se vežem za tu klupu
(Laughter)
celog dana.
This is small and lightweight. I can play from standing, sitting or walking. And, you know what? The best of all is that if I don't want to practice, (Whispering) I can hide it.
Ovo je malo i lagano. Mogu da sviram dok stojim, sedim ili hodam. I znate šta? Najbolja stvar je to što ako ne želim da vežbam, mogu da je sakrijem.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
The violin is very beautiful. Some people relate it as the shape of a lady. But whether you like it or not, it's been so for more than 400 years, unlike modern stuff [that] easily looks dated. But I think it's very personal and unique that, although each violin looks pretty similar, no two violins sound the same -- even from the same maker or based on the same model.
Violina je prelepa. Neki ljudi povezuju njen obilk sa oblikom dame ali, bez obzira da li vam se sviđa ili ne, takva je već više od 400 godina, za razliku od modernih stvari koje lako zastarevaju. Mislim da je veoma lično i unikatno to što, iako svaka violina izgleda prilično isto, nema dve violine koje zvuče isto. Čak i kada su od istog majstora
Entertainment -- I love the entertainment.
ili zasnovane na istom modelu.
But actually, the instrument itself isn't very entertaining. I mean, when I first got my violin and tried to play around on it, it was actually really bad, because it didn't sound the way I'd heard from other kids -- it was so horrible and so scratchy. So, it wasn't entertaining at all. But besides, my brother found this very funny: Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!
Zabava - volim zabavu, ali zapravo sam instrument nije veoma zabavan. Kada sam prvi put dobila svoju violinu i pokušala da se igram, to je bilo zapravo veoma loše jer nije zvučalo kao ono što sam čula kod druge dece - užasno i škripavo - tako da nimalo nije bilo zabavno. Bez obzira, mom bratu je ovo bilo veoma smešno. Op, op, op.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
A few years later, I heard a joke about the greatest violinist, Jascha Heifetz. After Mr. Heifetz's concert, a lady came over and complimented him: "Oh, Mr. Heifetz, your violin sounded so great tonight!" And Mr. Heifetz was a very cool person, so he picked up his violin and said, "Funny -- I don't hear anything."
Nekoliko godina kasnije čula sam vic o najvećem violinisti, Jaši Hajfecu. Nakon njegovog koncerta došla je dama i pohvalila ga: "Oh, gospodine Hajfec, vaša violina je večeras zvučala tako divno." I gospodin Hajfec je bio veoma kul, pa je uzeo svoju violinu i rekao: "Baš smešno, ja ne čujem ništa."
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
Now I realize that as the musician, we human beings, with our great mind, artistic heart and skill, can change this 16th-century technology and a legendary design to a wonderful entertainment. Now I know why I'm here.
I sada, kao muzičar shvatam to, mi kao ljudska bića imamo sjajan um, umetničko srce i veštinu koji mogu da izmene tehnologiju 16. veka i legendarni dizajn u prelepu zabavu.
(Music)
Sada znam zašto sam ovde.

At first, I thought I was just going to be here to perform, but unexpectedly, I learned and enjoyed much more. But ... although some of the talks were quite up there for me.
Isprva sam mislila da sam ovde samo da nastupam, ali neočekivano, naučila sam i uživala puno više. Ali... nešto od toga je za mene bilo zaista strano.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
Like the multi-dimension stuff. I mean, honestly, I'd be happy enough if I could actually get my two dimensions correct in school.
Poput multidimenzionalnih stvari. Mislim, stvarno, bila bih srećna kada bih u školi potrefila svoje dve dimenzije.
(Laughter)
(Smeh)
But actually, the most impressive thing to me is that -- well, actually, I would also like to say this for all children is to say thank you to all adults, for actually caring for us a lot, and to make our future world much better. Thank you.
Ali mi je najimpresivnija stvar bila to da... zapravo, želela bih da u ime sve dece kažem, hvala vam, svim odraslima zato što mnogo brinete o nama i činite našu budućnost puno boljom.
(Applause)
Hvala vam.
