are not familiar with my work,

私のパフォーマンスを

I create multicultural characters,

ご存じない方に説明しましょう

so characters from lots of different backgrounds.

私が演じるキャラクターは

So before the present is the new future,

一人ひとりに様々な 文化的背景があります

a bit about the past is that I grew up in a family

「未来はここから」の話を始める前に

that was multi-everything -- multi-racial, multi-cultural,

少し過去について話します 私の家はすべてが多様でした

black and white, Caribbean,

多人種 多文化 ―

Irish-American, German-American.

黒人 白人 カリブ人 —

There was Dominican music blasting from stereos.

アイルランド系にドイツ系・・・

There were Christians and Jews.

ドミニカ音楽が ステレオから鳴り響き

That's a long story filled with

キリスト教徒も ユダヤ教徒もいました

intrigue and interfaith guilt and shame.

人間関係は複雑で

But I was totally immersed in this world

宗教を超えた もめ事もありました

that was filled with everybody,

私は ありとあらゆる人間がいる世界に

and then I went on to the United Nations school,

首まで浸かっていたのです

and that just completely —

その後 国連国際学校へ進学し

So I began sort of developing these voices

そこはまさにそういった世界で

and these people,

こうして私は 声色やキャラクターを

all of whom were loosely based on people I really know,

作りはじめました

and so, for example, in performing them,

どれも知人をモデルにしています

I would really try to inhabit them.

演じる時には そのキャラクターに

And for example,

なりきるようにしていて

I don't really talk like that,

普段 私自身が

but that was one of my people,

そんな風に話すことはありませんが

and I'm going to bring a few of my friends --

どれも愛する知人の一人です

I think of them as my friends —

これから私の「友達」が登場します

to this stage, in this spirit of the idea

キャラクターは「友達」です

that the present is the new future,

彼らをステージに招いて

in sort of a meta way,

「未来はここから」というテーマで

because I thought about it, and the future, for me,

自己言及的に演じます

what can be so frightening

考えてみると 私にとって

is that I don't know what's coming.

未来の怖いところは

I don't know if that's true for other people,

予測できない点です

but that notion of thinking about

他の人は わかりませんが

how we can understand the future

私は 未来をどうやって理解し

and predict outcomes,

結果を予測したらいいか 考えるだけで

for me, it's terrifying to not know what might be coming.

怖くなってきます

And so the idea that there are questions

何が起きるか わからないからです

that I've never seen

今回は 初めて見る質問に

that my people are going to answer,

キャラクター達が

and some of these characters have been with me for ages,

こたえていきます

some of them don't even have names,

長く演じているキャラもいれば

I don't know what's going to happen.

名前すらないキャラもいますが

I don't know what's coming,

何が起きるか予測できません

and all I can do is remind myself

どんな質問が出るかわからないから

that I told Chris I'd fly by the seat of my pants,

クリスには 「手探りでやってみる」って

and now that I'm up here it sort of feels like

言いましたが 実際にここに来たら

that dream where you don't have any pants on,

パンツをはき忘れた —

and so I suppose I'm going to be

悪夢を見ているような感覚です

flying by the seat of my ass.

だから手探りじゃなくて

That said, let's just see who comes out.

お尻で探ることに なりそうですね

May we have the first question:

さて どのキャラが現れるでしょうか

"Do you ever get headaches

最初の質問は・・・

from the microchips implanted in your brain?"

「脳に埋め込まれた —

Right.

マイクロチップのせいで 頭痛がしたことは？」

Okay.

なるほど

Well first of all, I'll just say

わかりました

that I hope you can hear me okay.

私の声が

My name is Lorraine Levine,

ちゃんと聞こえてるかしら

and the idea of microchips implanted in my brain,

私はロレイン・レヴィーン

frankly, just putting on my glasses reminds me

チップを頭に埋めるって言うけど

of thank God I'm not wearing the Google Glasses.

はっきり言って メガネをかけただけでも

No offense to them. I'm glad that you all enjoy them,

グーグルグラスじゃなくて よかったと思うの

but at my age,

悪気はないのよ 皆 気に入ってるんだから

just putting on the regular ones I have

でも私の年になると

already gives me too much information.

普通のメガネでも

Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

目に入ってくる情報が多すぎるの

I don't need to know more. I don't want to know.

わかるかしら？

That's it. That's enough.

もう情報は必要ないし 知りたいと思わないわ

I love you all. You're wonderful.

もう充分なのよ

It's fabulous to be here with such big machers

皆さん素晴しい方々ね

again this year. Mwah!

こんなに立派な方々に

Okay, next question. (Applause)

今年も お会い出来たなんて 素敵だわ

Next, please.

じゃあ次の質問を （拍手）

"Is dating boring,

お願いします

now that humans reproduce asexually?"

「人類が

Who do we got?

無性生殖になったせいで デートは退屈に？」

Hi, um, okay, hi everybody.

誰がいいでしょう？

My name is Nereida.

こんにちは 皆さん

I just want to say first of all

私はネレイダです

that dating is never boring under any circumstance.

はじめに言っとくけど

But I am very excited to be here right now,

デートが 退屈になるわけないわ

so I am just trying to remind myself that,

でも 今はドキドキしてるから

you know, like, the purpose of being here and everything,

ここに来た目的を

I mean, trying to answer these questions, it is very exciting.

忘れないようにしなきゃ

But I also, I just need to acknowledge

質問にこたえるって とってもエキサイティングね

that TED is an incredible experience right now

それにTEDって

in the present, like, I just need to say, like,

スゴい経験だと思うの

Isabel Allende. Isabel Allende!

だから今 言わなきゃならない言葉は

Okay, maybe it doesn't mean,

イサベル・アジェンデね

of course it means something to you,

意味がわからないかも

but to me, it's like, another level, okay?

しれないけど

Because I'm Latina and I really appreciate the fact

私には すごく大事なことなの

that there are role models here that I can really,

だって私は ラテンアメリカ系だし

I don't know, I just need to say that.

彼女のような お手本がいて 本当によかったわ

That's incredible to me, and sometimes when I'm nervous and everything like that,

とにかく名前を唱えなきゃ

I just need to, like, say some affirmations

それって素敵なことよ 自分が不安になったりした時 —

that can help me.

前向きなことを言うと

I usually just try to use, like, the three little words

楽になるの

that always make me feel better:

私の場合 言葉を

Sotomayor, Sotomayor, Sotomayor. (Laughter)

３回唱えると 気持ちが落ち着くの

Just, it really helps me to get grounded.

ソトマイヨール ソトマイヨール・・・ （笑）

Now I can use Allende, Allende, Allende,

こうすると落ち着くわ

and, you know, I just need to say it, like,

アジェンデ アジェンデ・・・でも いいわね

it's so incredible to be here, and I knew that we were going to have these questions.

とにかく今回 参加できて

I was so nervous and I was thinking just, like, oh my God, oh my God,

最高にうれしいけど 質問には こたえなきゃ

and reminding me, because I've had, like, some very,

ずっと緊張してて どうしよう どうしようって

especially since the last time we were here at TED,

思ってたけど そういえば

it was, like, unbelievable,

前回 TEDに出られたのも

and then right after that, like,

信じられなかったけど

so many crazy things happened, like,

それ以来 スゴいことが

we ended up going to the White House to perform.

立て続けに起きて 結局 —

That was, like, amazing,

ホワイトハウスにも行ったのよ

and I'm standing there,

本当にすごかった

and I was just like, please don't say, "Oh my God."

向こうでは

Don't say, "Oh my God."

どうしよう どうしようって 言わないように

And I just kept saying it: "Oh my God. Oh my God."

してたんだけど

And, you know, I kept thinking to myself, like,

でも やっぱり言っちゃったの

President Obama has to come up here at the same podium,

オバマ大統領が使う演台の前で

and I'm standing here saying, "Oh my God."

どうしようって言いながら

It's like, the separation of church and state.

突っ立ってるなんて

It's just, I couldn't, like, I couldn't process.

まるで政教分離よ

It was really too much.

頭が回らなくて もう

So I think I've lost my way.

いっぱい いっぱい

But what I wanted to say is that dating, for me,

何が何だかわからなくなったわ

you know, as far as I'm concerned,

ただ言っておきたいのは デートは

however you reproduce, as long as you're enjoying yourself

私だったら

and it's with another consenting asexual -- I don't know.

生殖の仕方がどうだろうと 楽しければいいし

You know where I'm going with that.

別のやり方で 同意にもとづく 無性生殖の・・・わからないけど

Okay, ciao, gracias.

言いたいことはわかるわよね

Okay, next question. (Applause)

じゃあ チャオ グラシアス

What are your top five favorite songs right now?

じゃあ 次の質問を （拍手）

All right, well first of all, I'mma say,

「お気に入りの曲 トップ５は？」

you know what I'm saying, I'm the only dude up here right now.

さて まず

My name is Rashid,

今の所 男は俺だけだな

and I never been at TED before,

俺はラシード

you know what I'm saying.

TEDに出るのは

I think, Sarah Jones, maybe she didn't want me to come out last time.

初めてさ

I don't know why. You know what I'm saying.

前回 サラは 俺を出したくなかったんだろう

Obviously I would be like a perfect fit for TED.

なんでかな

You know what I'm saying.

TEDにぴったりだと思うけど

First of all, that I'm in hip hop, you know what I'm saying.

だろ？

I know some of y'all may be not really

俺はヒップホップにのめり込んでる

as much into the music,

そんなに音楽に

but the first way y'all can always know,

はまってない奴でも

you know what I'm saying, that I'm in hip hop,

俺がヒップホップをやってるのは

is 'cos I hold the microphone

すぐ わかるだろ

in an official emcee posture.

本物のMCの

Y'all can see that right there.

マイクの持ち方だからさ

That's how you hold it.

見えるだろ？

All right, so you get your little tutorial right there.

こう持つんだ

But when Sarah Jones told me we was gonna come up here,

ちょっとしたレッスンだな

I was like, betch, you know what I'm saying,

サラが俺を出すって言った時 ―

TED is real fly, I got a whole lot of dope,

「すげぇ」って言ったんだ

you know what I'm saying, shit going on and everything,

TEDは最高だし

but she was like, yeah,

すごい所だからさ

we're going to have to answer, like, some random questions,

でも

just like, and I was like, what the hell is that?

ランダムな質問に 答えろって言うんだ

You know what I'm saying, just stand up there

「何だそりゃ」って思ったな

and answer some random questions?

ステージに立って

I don't want to,

質問に答えろって？

I mean, it's like an intellectual stop-and-frisk.

いやだね

You know what I'm saying? (Laughter)

頭の中の身体検査だろ

I don't want to be standing up there just

違うか？ （笑）

all getting interrogated and whatnot.

そこに突っ立って

That's what I'm trying to leave behind

尋問されるなんてごめんだ

in New York. You know what I'm saying?

そんなのNYだけに

So anyway, I would have to say my top five songs right now

してほしいね だろ？

is all out of my own personal catalogue,

とにかくトップ５ソングなら

you know what I mean?

自分のリストから選ばないとな

So if you want to know more about that,

だろ？

you know what I'm saying,

もっと知りたいって

we could talk about the anti-piracy and all that,

言うなら

but as far as I'm concerned,

海賊版反対運動のこととか 話さなきゃな

you know, I believe in creative commons,

でも俺自身は

and I think it's really important that, you know,

クリエイティブ・コモンズの

that needs to be sustainable and everything,

信奉者だし 大事なことは

and I mean, as far as I'm concerned,

持続可能ってことだと思う

I mean, this right here,

俺が維持したいのは

this environment, I would like to sustain.

ここさ

You know what I mean?

この環境を維持したいんだ

But I'm just saying, if y'all are interested

だろ？

in the top five songs, you need to holler at me.

ただ もしも

You know what I'm saying?

トップ５ソングが知りたいなら

Aight? In the future or the present. Yeah.

言ってくれ

Enjoy the rest of it.

いいか？ 今のでも 未来のでもいいぞ

Okay, next question.

この後も楽しんでくれ

What do you got?

じゃあ 次の質問

"How many of your organs have been 3D printed?"

なんでしょう

(Laughter)

「3Dプリントされた臓器は いくつある？」

Well I have to say that I don't know about

（笑）

how many of my organs

私の臓器のうち3Dプリントしたものが

have been 3-D printed as such,

いくつあるかは

but I can tell you that it is so challenging to me,

よくわからないけど

kind of thinking about this concept of the future

未来のことを考えるのは

and that, you know, all around the world

私には難題だわ

parents are kind of telling their small children,

ところで 世界中どこの家庭でも

please, you have to eat that, you know,

親は子ども達に きちんと食べなさいって

I have slaved over a hot 3D printer all day

いつも言ってるわね

so that you can have this meal.

「私が3Dプリンターの前で一日中

You know, that kind of thing.

汗だくになって料理してるから

And of course now that we have changed, you know,

ご飯が食べられるのよ」ってね

from the global South, there is this total

私達の国は もう 南の発展途上国ではないし

kind of perspective shift that is happening around the --

世界中で全面的な

You can't just say to them,

パラダイム・シフトが 起きているから

well, there are starving children.

「食べる物がない —

Well, it is the future.

子どももいるのよ」とは 言えないわね

Nobody is starving anymore, thank God.

もう未来なんだから

But as you can tell I have kind of that optimism,

飢えに苦しんでる人は もういないわ

and I do hope that we can continue

私には楽観的なところがあるの

to kind of 3D print,

これからも3Dプリントを

well, let us just say I like to think that

続けられるといいと思うわ

even in the future we will have the publication,

これからもずっと

kind of, you know, all the food that's fit to print.

プリントできる食べ物の公開が

But everybody, please do enjoy that,

続いて欲しいわね

and again, I think that you do throw

じゃあ 皆さん楽しんで

a cracking good party here at TED.

きっとTEDで

Thank you.

素敵なパーティーを開くんでしょ

Next question. (Applause)

ありがとう

What has changed? Okay, it's like,

次の質問を （拍手）

I have to think about that.

「何が変わったか？」ですか・・・

"What has changed now that women run the world?"

考える必要がありそうね

First of all,

「女性が世界を動かす様になって 何が変わったか？」

I really, like, I just want to say,

まず

and my name is Bella,

言っておきたいのは・・・

I just want to, like, identify myself,

私はベラ

that, like, as a feminist,

まず最初に自分は

I, like, I really find that, like,

フェミニストです

because I was born in the '90s,

わかったことがあるの

and, like, there were a lot of women who were

私が生まれたのは90年代だし

as far as feminism was concerned,

いろいろな女性がいて

like, maybe they didn't understand that, like,

フェミニズムについては

a feminist like me, like,

理解してもらえないかも 知れないけど

I don't think it's required that you have to have

私のようなフェミニストは

a certain kind of voice,

意見が１つしか持てないとは

or, like, a certain way of presenting yourself

思わないし

to be feminist, because I think that, like,

フェミニストとして自己表現する —

feminism can be really hot,

方法も１つだとは思わない

and I think actually that it's really vital and important.

だってフェミニズムが セクシーになってもいいし

Like, the quotation I'm wearing is from, like,

それが重要で 必要なことだと思うから

Gloria Steinem,

私のシャツに書いてある グロリア・スタイネムの

and, like, I'm named Bella for, like, Bella Abzug,

言葉と同じね

who's, like, obviously, like, a really important feminist from, like, history,

私の名前はベラ・アブザグから とっているの
