TED演讲:嘻哈音乐如何帮助我们理解科学(1)
How y'all doing? Good. I came here to give you a science lesson
大家好吗？非常好。今天我想给大家上一堂科学课，
about animal mating systems and why defining monogamy has been a challenge for scientists.
关于动物交配体系，以及为什么对科学家来说定义一夫一妻制很难。
But you won't need a textbook or to download an online lecture.
这堂课你们不需要什么课本，也不需要下载讲座视频。
All you'll simply need to do is revisit the song "OPP" by Naughty by Nature.
你们只需要重温一首歌，歌名是《OPP》，创作者是“天生顽家”。
It was released in 1991. Now, "OPP" is a call-and-response song.
这首歌发行于1991年。《OPP》是一首对唱形式的歌。
So throughout the talk, I'm going to put lyrics up on the screen,
所以在我今天的讲话中，会将歌词放在屏幕上，
and I'm going to recite some and I'm going to prompt you when it's your turn to do the response, OK?
我会读一些，然后带动大家，到你们的时候给我一些回应，好吗？
Now, I know some people in this audience know this song,
好的，我知道在座的有些朋友听过这首歌，
so I need you to lead the way with the tempo and the rhythm, if that's alright, OK?
所以我需要听过这首歌的朋友带动节拍，可以的话，就这样做，好吗？
Right, y'all ready? You down with OPP? Yeah, you know me! You down with OPP?
好的，准备好了吗？你对OPP无法自拔吗？是啊，你懂的！你对OPP无法自拔吗？
Yeah, you know me! You down with OPP? Yeah, you know me! That was perfect. Thank you.
是啊，你懂的！你对OPP无法自拔吗？是啊，你懂的！完美。感谢大家。
"OPP, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it. To have y'all jumping shout and singing it
“我该怎么解释OPP呢？请让我逐字逐词说明。直到大家全都一起唱跳。
O is for other, P is for people. scratch your temple. The last P, well, that's not that simple."
O代表‘其它’，P代表‘人们’，大家思考一下。最后一个P嘛，可没那么单纯。”
Now, in the song, the MC hints that it's a five-letter word,
在这首歌里，饶舌歌手暗示这是一个五个字母的单词，
but to keep it rated PG, he simply refers to it as "property."
但由于涉及成人内容，作者简单地把它称为资产。
