12I'm a little nervous.我有点紧张
13Anne Carson is the writer I love the most.安卡森是我最爱的作家
14And we have spoken on stage many times.我们曾多次在舞台上发言。
15And I'm always a little nervous.我总是有点紧张。
16But I'm very happy and honored that we are speaking again today.但我很高兴和荣幸 我们今天再次发言。
17I want to start by talking about yesterday's performance我想先谈谈昨天的表演
18that I think a lot of people saw it.我想很多人都看见了
19Stacks.堆叠.
20Who saw the performance yesterday?谁看了昨天的演出?
21Yes.对
22So a lot of people saw it.所以很多人都看见了.
23Some people didn't see it.有人不见.
24你从Float读到一篇名为Stacks的散文
25And your collaborator and husband Robert Curry and another helper.还有你的合作者和丈夫 罗伯特·库里和另一个助手
26Stacking cardboard boxes on top of each other while you are reading.在阅读时将纸板盒堆在对方的顶部.
27And actually disturbing your reading.而实际上打扰了你的阅读。
28We hope.我们希望
29And I've seen this performance many times.我看过很多次了
30And in the beginning I'm almost annoyed.一开始我几乎很生气
31Why is all this happening with the boxes?为什么这些箱子都发生了?
32Because it's disturbing.因为它令人不安。
33I want to hear the words.欲闻其语.
34But then there's something very moving about it.但后来却有些很动人的事情发生.
35Because there's this tension between attention and distraction.因为注意力和分散注意力之间有矛盾.
36And these are two words that go through all of your writing.这是两句话 贯穿你所有写作。
37Can you talk about the distraction?你能谈谈分心的事吗?
38Well, the distraction is mostly Curry and a helper who was Mr. Smith last night.分散注意力的主要是咖哩和昨晚曾是史密斯先生的帮手
39Mr. Smith and Mr. Curry have a sort of friendly warfare with a bunch of boxes on stage.Smith先生和Curry先生在舞台上 和一堆箱子发生了一场友好的战争
40And originally I can't remember why we made this piece.起初我不记得为什么我们做了这个作品。
41But I think we were invited by somebody to a certain space where we thought we'd like to use the whole space.但我想我们是被某个人邀请到某个地方的, 在那里我们想利用整个空间。
42Not just do a normal reading.不只是做一个正常的阅读。
43And so I wrote a piece about stacks, the concept of stacking things like boxes.所以我写了一篇关于堆栈的作品, 即堆栈像盒子一样的东西的概念。
44And then Curry read it.然则咖哩读之.
45And Curry's function generally in our collaboration, as we like to call it, is to add space to something.咖哩的功能 通常在我们的合作中, 我们喜欢称之为它, 是增加空间的东西。
46Because I think of reality as a sentence.因为我把现实当作一句话
47Words on a page.页面上的文字.
48And he thinks of reality as a sculpture, a language as a sculpture.而他认为现实是雕塑,语言是雕塑.
49And reality as all kinds of things involving space and people and movement.而现实是涉及太空和人与运动的各种事物.
50I can't think in those ways.我不能这样想
51So he puts that stuff into the words.所以他把那些东西放在字里
52So in this case, that stuff turned out to be cardboard boxes.所以在这种情况下,那些东西变成了纸板盒。
53I forget why.我忘了为什么
54I guess we just had some in the back.我想我们刚刚在后面吃过
55And so it becomes a sort of flurry of activity.所以它成为了某种活动。
56I don't think of it as attention and distraction.我不认为这是注意力和分心。
57Although originally I think we started to do things together, he and I,虽然最初我觉得我们开始一起做事 他和我
58because I was uneasy being the center of a stage worth the spotlight and reading blah, blah, blah.因为我很不安 是一个舞台的中心 值得关注 阅读等等,等等。
59It always seems to me a little inadequate as an evening's entertainment for you.对我来说,它总是有点不够 作为晚上的娱乐给你。
60So I thought, well, then a good idea to move me to the side of the stage and have something else happening in the middle.所以我想,嗯,然后一个好主意, 把我搬到舞台的一侧, 并在中间有别的事情发生。
61And then it would be interesting for people at least to watch.然后人们至少会感兴趣地观看。
62And so that's how we began to make things that had these different parts to them.因此,我们开始 制造这些不同部分的东西。
63But Lynn thinks of it as more maybe conceptually as a tension between attention and distraction, which maybe is reasonable, too.但林恩认为这在概念上更像是注意力和分散注意力之间的紧张关系,这或许也是合理的.
64You're talking about not wanting to be in the center of things.你在说不想成为事情的中心
65And that reminds me of something that Merce Cunningham, who I know you, the great choreographer Merce Cunningham,这让我想起了我认识的梅西·坎宁安 伟大的编舞梅西·坎宁安
66who lived and collaborated with the composer John Cage, I know you used a lot of their work in your work and your and Curry's work.和作曲家约翰·凯奇一起生活和合作的 我知道你在你的作品中 和你的和咖哩的作品中 用了很多他们的作品
67And Merce Cunningham said something that he understood what it would be to create a performance,Merce Cunningham说了一些他明白的 创造表演会是什么样子的话
68to create a new choreography by going away from the whole idea of center stage, opening up the stage.通过远离整个中心舞台的想法来创造新的舞蹈,打开舞台.
69So it's more it's just as interesting what happens over there and what happens over there and what happens over there.更有趣的是,那里发生的事情,那里发生的事情,那里发生的事情,那里发生的事情。
70And it seems to me that that's a little bit about what you're saying.在我看来,这有点 关于你说什么。
71I think so.我想是这样。
72I think, well, when we also when we started to work together, Curry and I, he introduced me to John Cage's work and thinking.我想,当我们开始合作的时候, 库里和我, 他把我介绍给约翰·凯奇的作品和思考。
73And John Cage influenced Merce Cunningham in a major way.而约翰·凯奇对默西·坎宁安的影响很大.
74And one of their notions was, as Lynn says, to move to move the focus of your attention to the margins of everything happening,他们的一个概念是,正如林恩所说, 将注意力的焦点转移到一切发生的边缘,
75not have it just be focused on some person in the middle.不是只关注中间的某个人
76So his dancers don't face always you.所以他的舞者不会一直面对你
77They face different ways and they have almost no expression on their faces.他们面临不同的方式,他们几乎没有表情。
78And they don't they don't try to focus your thought on a point.他们不试图把注意力集中在一点上。
79It moves around.它到处移动。
80So I think for a performance of writing, that's disturbing, as you say,所以我想为了写作的表演, 这是令人不安的,就像你说的,
81but also it breaks up the event so that you can think into it at different places.但它也打破了事件 让你可以思考 在不同的地方。
82My tendency, because I'm a kind of well, I've been a professor all my life.我的倾向,因为我是一种井, 我一辈子都是教授。
83My tendency is to want to lecture.我的倾向是想讲课。
84And lecturing is me having a truth.说教就是讲真话
85And I insist that you know this truth and you know it in these words.我坚持说,你知道这个事实,你知道这些话。
86I'm going to give you in no other way.以无他法而授之.
87And that's really tedious.这真的很无聊。
88And also, it isn't really thinking because it doesn't move you.而且,它不是真正的思考 因为它不动你。
89Your mind wants to move.你的思想想移动。
90And the best thing a work of art can do is take your mind with it,艺术作品所能做的最好的事情 就是用它来思考
91moving somewhere that you never expected to move.搬到你从未想过去的地方
92So I think that's why that's what we're fond of in Merce Cunningham and John Cage or one thing.所以,我想这就是为什么我们在Merce Cunningham 和John Cage 或者一件事中 喜欢这个。
93Didn't Gertrude Stein also say something about moving things away from the center?格特鲁德·斯坦恩是不是也说过要搬离中心?
94Yes.对
95Can we remember that quote?我们能记住这句话吗?
96Let's see.让我看看。
97I can't remember it, but something about moving away from.我记不得了,但是要远离它
98Yes, she says that several different ways, I think.是的,她说几种不同的方式,我想。
99It was important for her too.这对她也很重要。
100But I mean, that's a good illustration of how hopeless it is to try to do this.但是,我意思是,这是一个很好的例子, 说明试图这样做是多么的无望。
101Because when you think Gertrude Stein, you don't think the margins of other people around her.因为当你认为格特鲁德·斯坦因,你并不认为她周围其他人的边缘.
102You think of her monumental self in the middle of your attention.你在你的注意力中 想到她非凡的自我
103So it's a strange and hopeless project to lose the self, especially in the middle of making artworks.因此,失去自我是一个奇特而无望的项目,特别是在制作艺术品的中间.
104But we keep trying.但我们一直在努力
105I'd like to read something that you've written on the back of your collection of essays called Wrong Norma.我想读一些你写的东西 在你的论文集的背面 叫做错误诺玛。
106Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things like Joseph Conrad, Guantanamo, Flaubert, Snow, Poverty, Roger's, Thesaurus, My Dad, Saturday Night.错误的诺玛(英語:Wrong Norma)是一部有关不同事物的著作集,如约瑟夫·康拉德,关塔那摩,弗拉伯特,雪,贫穷,罗杰斯,神龙,我爸爸,星期六夜.
107The pieces are not linked.片段没有关联.
108That's why I've called them wrong.所以我才说错了
109That doesn't make sense to you.这对你没道理
110Well, actually it does.其实是的
111But I love your preoccupation with wrong.但我喜欢你对错误的关心
112But can you talk about it?但你能谈谈吗?
113Well, sure.当然
114I think the word wrong, a great word, came to me many years ago when somebody was asking me.我认为这个词是错误的, 一个伟大的词, 几年前,有人问我。
115Because I was born in Canada, but I live now in the United States and Iceland.因为我出生在加拿大 但我现在住在美国和冰岛
116But I came to the United States to teach there and people would ask me, inevitably at cocktail parties,但我是来美国教书的 人们会问我 在鸡尾酒派对上
117so what's the difference between life in Canada and life in the United States?那么加拿大的生活和美国的生活有什么区别?
118And I never knew what to say because they don't want the truth about that.我不知道该说什么 因为他们不想知道真相
119I took to saying, well, Canadians are different than you.我说,加拿大人和你不一样
120You rule the world.你统治着世界
121Canadians are always polite but wrong.加拿大人总是有礼貌,但错误。
122And that seemed to me true at the time.这对我来说是真实的。
123It still does.现在还是这样
124But anyway, I thought, well, that's me.但无论如何,我想,嗯,这就是我。
125What I'm doing as this Canadian person in America is being wrong most of the time.我在美国的加拿大人 经常做错事
126And it comes out in ways like this.以这种方式出现。
127A collection of pieces of writing is often thought to be a coherent whole, an experience that works one piece after another写作的集合经常被认为是一个连贯的整体,一个接一个地工作的经验.
128to accumulate into a central idea.积累成一个中心思想。
129But mine don't.但是,我的没有。
130So there that is, I thought.就是这样,我想。
131And they always want you to say something on a book, something embarrassing about how famous you are.他们总是希望你在一本书上说点什么, 关于你有多出名的尴尬。
132So I thought, well, instead of that, I could just tell people what they're getting into when they read the book.所以我想,反之,我可以告诉人们, 当他们读到这本书时,他们会得到什么。
133That would save a lot of trouble.这样可以省下很多麻烦
134About things being side by side or stacked or wrong, not in the center, in the margins.关于事物并存或堆积或错,不在中心,在边缘.
135You write in the book about a visit to the lake and swimming.你在书里写了去湖边游泳的事
136This is the essay called One Equals One.这是一篇名为"一个平等"的论文。
137And you write about swimming.你写游泳。
138You're a swimmer, right?你是个游泳运动员,对吧?
139Sometimes, yeah.有时候,是的。
140You write a lot about water and swimming.你写了很多关于水和游泳。

144And then you write,然后你写
145And then you write this sentence.然后写此句.
146What sense it makes for these two mornings to exist side by side in the world where we live?我们生活的世界里 这两个早晨毗邻共存有什么意义?
147Should this be framed as a question?应将此作为问题吗?
148Would not be answerable by philosophy or poetry or finance or the shallows or the deeps of our own mind, she fears.她担心哲学、诗歌、金融、浅滩 或我们内心深处都无法回答
149Now, I would have loved to read that sentence five more times about the two mornings existing side by side.现在,我很想再读五遍这句话 关于两个早上并存。
150I want everyone to go home and read that essay and read that sentence.我要大家回家看那篇散文 读那句
151But can you talk a little bit about the two mornings, the two opposites, the harmony and the terror existing side by side?但是,你能不能稍微谈谈两个上午,两个对面,和谐和恐怖并存的问题?

153And then went home and read the newspaper.然后回家看报纸

156And there were stories in the paper about people trying to go on boats, you know, inadequate boats and drowning and other people in very crowded, what do you call them, trains by railway.报纸上也有关于人们试图搭船的故事, 你知道,船不足和溺水, 还有其他人在非常拥挤的地方, 你叫他们什么,火车。
157And so it seemed to me, it always seems to me when contemplating the news, as we call it, how you can read a story about tragedy and trauma and enter into the sorrow of that and then close the paper and go make toast.所以在我看来,在考虑这个新闻时,我总是会觉得, 我们称之为这个新闻, 你如何读到一个有关悲剧和创伤的故事, 进入这个故事的悲哀中, 然后把报纸关上,去敬酒。
158You know, how do we do that?我们该怎么做?
159How do we just let non-existence be right beside existence and it's okay.我们如何让不存在 与存在并存,这是好的。
160And I don't know how we do, but we do.我不知道我们怎么做,但我们怎么做。

164Has this been?这事发生过吗?

166Now I was thinking about Danez Smith who did an interview here a couple days ago.现在我想起Danez Smith 几天前在这里接受采访

189I was just reading, I mean, this is really off the cuff, but Lynn elicits that method of thinking.我只是在读,我的意思是,这是真的脱下手铐, 但琳恩引领了这种思考方法。
190Just thinking today, reading something about Descartes.今天在想,读到笛卡尔的事
191而笛卡尔说出这个著名的句子,cogito ergo sum.
192I think, therefore I am, which everybody knows and learns in school.我想,因此我是,每个人都知道 在学校学习。

210I think I wrote the lecture in order to investigate that question, and it really got nowhere.我认为我写演讲是为了调查这个问题,结果却无所作为。

216End up being a lecture about chipmunks, which they don't have in Spain.最终成为关于花栗鼠的讲座,这些在西班牙是没有的.
