TED演讲: 我嘴里的乐队(2)

 　　I'm very, very stoked to be here today, you know 今天能来到这里我很兴奋

　　representing my kinfolk and all those that haven't managed to make a career out of an innate¹ ability for inhuman² noisemaking. 代表所有同仁和所有与生俱来能够发出非人的声音，却还未成功创出一番天地的朋友们

　　Because you know it is a bit of a niche³ market,  因为这算是一个利基市场

　　and there's not much work going on, especially where I'm from. 而且这个圈子仍比较冷清，特别是我的家乡

　　You know, I'm from Brisbane, which is a great city to live in. 我来自布里斯班，是个非常宜居的城市

　　Yeah! All right! Most of Brisbane's here. That's good.  耶！好嘞！大多数的班城人都来了，很好

　　You know, I'm from Brizzy, which is a great city to live in, 大家知道我来自班城，是个非常宜居的城市

　　but you know let's be honest -- it's not exactly the cultural hub of the Southern Hemisphere. 但坦白说，那儿不算是南半球的文化中心

　　So I do a lot of my work outside Brisbane and outside Australia, 所以我在其他城市表演，在其他国家表演

　　and so the pursuit of this crazy passion of mine  我对这一份疯狂热情的追逐

　　has enabled me to see so many amazing places in the world. 使得我去到过世界上很多神奇的地方

　　So I'd like to share with you, if I may, my experiences.  所以，如果可以的话，我想和大家分享我的经历

　　So ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take you on a journey 女士们先生们，我将要带大家踏上一段旅程

　　throughout the continents and throughout sound itself. 穿越大洲，穿越声音

　　We start our journey in the central deserts.  我们的旅途从中央沙漠开始
