TED演讲之幕后揭秘 艾布拉姆斯之神秘的盒子(4)
Now, 10 years ago, if we wanted to do that, we’d have to kill a stuntman.
好，10年前我们如果要拍这个，估计得弄死这哥们。
It would be harder. Take two would be a bitch.
那肯定很难拍，如果我喊重拍一次那简直是人渣。
So the amazing thing was, we were able to do this thing. And part of that was the amazing availability of technology, knowing we could do anything.
而现在，我们可以做到了！除了技术上的先进，知道我们可以做这个，
I mean, we could never have done that. We might have been able to write it; we wouldn’t have been able to depict it like we did.
我的意思是，我们以前不能。我们以前或许能写出剧本，但拍不出来。
So part of the amazing thing for me is in the creative process, technology is mind-blowingly inspiring to me.
所以对我而言，创新的过程很神奇。技术的进步鼓舞着我，
I realize that that blank page is a magic box, you know? It needs to be filled with something fantastic.
我意识到神秘盒子就像一页的空白，需要一些奇特的东西来填充它。
I used to have the “Ordinary People” script that I’d flip through. The romance was amazing to me; it would inspire me.
我曾经想用”Ordinary People“的剧本，那爱情故事太美好，很鼓舞我，
I wanted to try and fill pages with the same kind of spirit and thought and emotion that that script did.
我想尝试用那些精神，想法以及情绪来写出那些剧本。
So, you know, I love Apple computers. I’m obsessed. So the Apple computer — the PowerBook — this computer, it challenges me.
所以，你知道，我喜欢苹果电脑。我对它着迷。所以苹果电脑–像这台PowerBook笔记本–这台计算机 这对我来说是个挑战。
It basically says, what are you going to write worthy of me? I feel this — I’m compelled.
你知道。我有什么好写的？我有这种感觉－－我是被迫的。
And I often am like, you know, dude, today I’m out. I got nothing. You know? So there’s that.
并且我经常是，你知道，哥们，我土憋了，我什么也没有。你知道吗？
In terms of the content of it, you look at stories, you think, what are stories but mystery boxes?
所以，按照它的内容来说，你看读这些故事的时候，神秘的盒子之外故事是什么？
There’s a fundamental question — in TV, the first act is called the teaser. It’s literally the teaser.
这是一个基本的问题－－在电视里，第一个动作被叫做难题。这个真的是难题。
It’s the big question. So you’re drawn into it. Then there’s another question. And it goes on. Look at “Star Wars.”
这是个大问题。所以你去研究它。之后则是必然，还有另一个问题，就是它会不断有续集出现。看看，比如“星际迷航”，你会发现新机器人，
The droids meet the mysterious woman. Who’s that? We don’t know. Mystery box! Then you meet Luke Skywalker.
他们遇到了神秘的妇人。那是谁？我们不知道，神秘的盒子！知道吗？然后你会看到天行者·路克，
He gets the droid, you see the holographic image. You learn it’s a message. She wants to find Obi Wan Kenobi.
他得那了机器人，你看全息图像。你发现，哦，这是个讯息，你知道。她想要让你发现欧比旺，
He’s her only hope. But who’s Obi Wan Kenobi? Mystery box! So then you go and he meets Ben Kenobi. Ben Kenobi is Obi Wan Kenobi. Holy shit! So it keeps us —
他是她唯一的希望。但谁是见鬼的欧比旺？神秘的盒子！所以你继续看然后他见到了班。班就是欧比旺。太牛X了！你知道－－就是吸引着我们，
