Now, I bought this decades ago and I'm not kidding. If you look at this, you'll see it's never been opened.
我几十年前买的这个,我不是开玩笑的。但我从来没有打开过它。
But I've had this forever. Now, I was looking at this, it was in my office, as it always is, on the shelf, and I was thinking, why have I not opened this?
已经很久了。现在它还在我的办公室,一直在架子上。我在想,我为什么不打开它呢?
And why have I kept it? Because I'm not a pack rat. I don't keep everything, but for some reason I haven't opened this box.
那我为什么留着它?我又不是收破烂的,我不是什么都留着的。但出于某些原因,我没有打开这个盒子。
And I felt like there was a key to this, somehow, in talking about something at TED that I haven't discussed before, and bored people elsewhere.
我总是觉得它有一把钥匙。再来TED之前,我没有对别人说过这些,他们肯定觉得很无聊。
So I thought, maybe there's something with this. And there was this giant question mark.
然后我开始想,到底是什么那么神奇。有个巨大的问号。
I love the design, for what it's worth, of this thing. And I started thinking, why haven't I opened it?
我喜欢这设计,因为它也值得我喜欢。对于这个,我开始想,为什么我从来没有打开过它?
And I realized that I haven't opened it because it represents something important -- to me.
然后我意识到我从未打开它是因为它代表了某些重要的东西。
It represents my grandfather. Am I allowed to cry at TED? Because -- no, I'm not going to cry.
对我而言,它代表了外公。我可不可以在这里哭?不,我不会哭。
The thing is that it represents infinite possibility. It represents hope. It represents potential.
关键在于它给了我无限的遐想空间。它代表了希望,代表了潜力。
And what I love about this box, and what I realize I sort of do in whatever it is that I do, is I find myself drawn to infinite possibility, that sense of potential.
我最喜欢这个盒子之处,就是我意识到我可以做任何我想做的事情,发现我自己沉浸在那种无限的可能和潜力中。
And I realize that mystery is the catalyst for imagination. Now, it's not the most ground-breaking idea,
然后我意识到那份神秘就是想象力的催化剂。现在,这已不是最具开拓性的想法。

but when I started to think that maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge. I started getting interested in this.

但我开始意识到或许有的时候,神秘感比知识重要,我渐渐开始对这个感兴趣了。
And so I started thinking about "Lost" and the stuff that we do, and I realized, oh my God, mystery boxes are everywhere in what I do!
然后我开始构想《迷失》,以及我们后来做的一些东西。然后我意识到,我的天啊,我工作中充满了这种神秘盒子。
In the creation of "Lost," Damon Lindelof and I, who created the show with me, we were basically tasked with creating this series that we had very little time to do.
比如在《迷失》的创作过程中。Damon Lindelof和我一起创作了这部剧,我们当时时间很紧,
We had 11 and a half weeks to write it, cast it, crew it, shoot it, cut it, post it, turn in a two-hour pilot.
只有11周半,要写,要招演员,组织剧组,拍摄,剪辑,然后把它变成2小时的试播片。
So it was not a lot of time. And that sense of possibility -- what could this thing be? There was no time to develop it.
所以时间很少。然后出来一个问题,这能拍成什么样?我们没有时间来发展故事情节。
I'm sure you're all familiar with people who tell you what you can't do and what you should change. There was no time for that, which is kind of amazing.
我肯定你们一定记得那些,告诉你们你不可能做什么,或者你需要改变什么的人,但我们没有时间去想那些,真不可思议。
And so we did this show, and for those of you who haven't seen it, or don't know it, I can show you one little clip from the pilot, just to show you some stuff that we did.
然后我们做了这部剧,对于你们之中一些没看过,或者不知道这部剧的人,我可以放一小段。只是稍微让你们看一段。
