每天一秒钟，留住回忆 One second every day

TED 每天一秒钟，留住回忆

One second every day

课前思考

1．时光流逝，你是用什么方法留住记忆

的呢？

2．如果每天只录一秒钟的视频，你会记

录哪些瞬间？

【演讲重点】Key Points

Basically I'm recording one second of

every day of my life for the rest of my

life, chronologically compiling these

one-second tiny slices of my life into

one Single continuous video until, you

know, I can't record them anymore

大意就是我每天都坚持给自己录一秒钟

的视频，下半辈子一直坚持下去，慢慢

地将这些一秒钟的视频拼接起来，将我

的生活片段拼接成一段连续的视频，直

things that I've done with my life that

I have no recollection of unless someone

brings it up, and sometimes I think,

"Oh yeah, that's something that I did

项目的目的是，第一：我不喜欢忘记自

seems to start blurring and blending

into each other and, you know, I hated

that, and visualization is the way to

trigger memory

现在，我要处理的问题之一就是，随着

时间一天ー天、一个月一个月的过去，

日子似乎变得模糊起来，边界变得不那

It helped me realize something else

during this project, is that recording

that one second on a really bad day is

extremely difficult. It's not--we tend

to take our cameras out when we're

doing awesome things

这让我意识到在这个项目的另一个重要

之处，就是在这些悲伤的日子中记录自

己的生活是非常非常的困难的。它不像

是一一如果我们要做一些很酷的事情

时，我们可能会带上相机。

And I found that its actually been

very, very important to record even

just that one second of a really bad

moment. It really helps you appreciate

the good times. It's not always a good

day, so when you have a bad one, I

think it's important to remember it,

just as much as it is important to remember

 the good days

而这让我发现了记录生活中非常糟糕的

时刻，哪怕只记录一秒钟，是多么的重

moment as much as possible as the

way that I saw it with my own eyes

started a rule of first person perspective

【核心回顾】Speech Review

1．受 Stefan的TED演讲“时间流逝的力

量”启发， Cesar／決定用一年的时间抛

开工作，做一个自己感兴趣的项目

“One second every day”每天一秒钟。

每天坚持录一秒钟的视频，慢慢地将它

们拼接成一段连续的视频，直到没有力

气再录了为止。

2． Cesar做这个项目的目的，是因为他

不喜欢忘记自己做过的事，他也不喜欢

日子过得越来越模糊，界限越来越不清

晰，他希望借用影像来激发回忆。

3．有时候如何选择这一秒钟真的很难，

但是Cesar选的一秒钟一定是能够触发

他对当天生活回忆的一秒钟。

4．我们都喜欢记录生活的美好，但是对

那些糟糕的日子，我们都放过了。日子

不会过得一帆风顺，记录这些不好的事

情非常重要，它会让你尽力去回忆那些

美好的时光。

5．以第一人称的视角去记录生活，不要

添加任何滤镜，确保镜头里的就是你亲

眼看到的世界

6． Cesar人为这个项目具有很多可能性，

如果人人都能坚持每天一秒钟记录生

活，那将是多么有趣的一件事，因为每

个人对生活的理解都截然不同。开始用

秒钟记录生活吧，这样你就不会忘记

那些你生活过的日子。

【演讲稿】

One second every day

每天一秒

by Cesar Kuriyama

So, I'm an artist. I live in New York, and I've been working in advertising for -- ever since I left school, so about seven, eight years now, and it was draining. I worked a lot of late nights. I worked a lot of weekends, and I found myself never having time for all the projects that I wanted to work on on my own.

所以，我是一个艺术家。我住在纽约，我从学校毕业后就一直在做广告工作，所以现在大约有七、八年了，而且正在枯竭。我工作了很多深夜。我工作了很多周末，我发现自己从来没有时间为所有的项目，我想自己的工作。

And one day I was at work and I saw a talk by Stefan Sagmeister on TED, and it was called "The power of time off," and he spoke about how every seven years, he takes a year off from work so he could do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired, and I just said, "I have to do that. I have to take a year off. I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family and start my own creative ideas."

有一天，我在工作的时候，我看到斯特凡-萨梅斯特在TED上的谈话，被称为“时间的力量”，他讲述了每七年，他从工作中休假一年，这样他就可以做自己的创意项目，我立刻受到启发，我只是说：“我必须这样做。”我得休息一年。我需要花时间去旅行，花时间和家人在一起，开始我自己的创意。”

So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day." Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life, chronologically compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until, you know, I can't record them anymore.

因此，这些项目中的第一个项目最终被我称为“每天一秒”。基本上，我记录了我生命中的每一天的每一秒，按时间顺序把我生命中的第二个小片段编成一个连续的视频，直到，你知道，我再也记不住它们了。

The purpose of this project is, one: I hate not remembering things that I've done in the past. There's all these things that I've done with my life that I have no recollection of unless someone brings it up, and sometimes I think, "Oh yeah, that's something that I did." And something that I realized early on in the project was that if I wasn't doing anything interesting, I would probably forget to record the video. So the day -- the first time that I forgot, it really hurt me, because it's something that I really wanted to -- from the moment that I turned 30, I wanted to keep this project going until forever, and having missed that one second, I realized, it just kind of created this thing in my head where I never forgot ever again.

这个项目的目的是：我讨厌不记得我过去做过的事情。所有这些事情，我已经做了我的生活，我不记得，除非有人把它，有时我想，“哦，是的，这是我做的事情。”我在项目早期就意识到，如果我没有做任何有趣的事情，我可能会忘记录制视频。所以这一天——我第一次忘记了，这真的伤害了我，因为这是我真正想做的事情——从我30岁的那一刻起，我想让这个项目一直持续下去，直到永远。错过了那一秒，我意识到，它只是在我的脑海里创造了这个东西，我永远不会忘记。

So if I live to see 80 years of age, I'm going to have a five-hour video that encapsulates 50 years of my life. When I turn 40, I'll have a one-hour video that includes just my 30s. This has really invigorated me day-to-day, when I wake up, to try and do something interesting with my day.

因此，如果我活到80岁，我将有一个5小时的视频，封装了我50年的生活。当我40岁时，我将有一个一小时的视频，其中包括我30多岁。当我醒来的时候，我每天都在尝试着做一些有趣的事情，这真的让我非常振奋。

Now, one of the things that I have issues with is that, as the days and weeks and months go by, time just seems to start blurring and blending into each other and, you know, I hated that, and visualization is the way to trigger memory. You know, this project for me is a way for me to bridge that gap and remember everything that I've done. Even just this one second allows me to remember everything else I did that one day. It's difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second. On a good day, I'll have maybe three or four seconds that I really want to choose, but I'll just have to narrow it down to one, but even narrowing it down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.

现在，我遇到的问题之一是，随着时间的流逝，时间似乎开始变得模糊，相互交融，你知道，我讨厌这样，而可视化是触发记忆的方式。你知道，这个项目对我来说是一种弥补差距的方法，记住我所做的一切。就连这一秒也让我想起了我做过的每一件事。很难，有时，选择一秒钟。在一个好的日子里，我可能会有三四秒的时间，我真的想选择，但我只需要把它缩小到一个，但即使把它缩小到那个，也让我记住了另外三个。

It's also kind of a protest, a personal protest, against the culture we have now where people just are at concerts with their cell phones out recording the whole concert, and they're disturbing you. They're not even enjoying the show. They're watching the concert through their cell phone. I hate that. I admittedly used to be that guy a little bit, back in the day, and I've decided that the best way for me to still capture and keep a visual memory of my life and not be that person, is to just record that one second that will allow me to trigger that memory of, "Yeah, that concert was amazing. I really loved that concert." And it just takes a quick, quick second.

这也是一种抗议，一种个人的抗议，反对我们现在的文化，人们只是在音乐会上用手机录下整个演唱会，他们在打扰你。他们甚至不喜欢这个节目。他们通过手机观看音乐会。我讨厌那样。我承认曾经是一个有点，回到了一天，我已经决定，最好的方式，我仍然捕捉和保持一个视觉记忆我的生活，而不是那个人，就是记录下那一秒，让我能触发那个记忆，“是啊，那场音乐会真是太棒了。”我真的很喜欢那场音乐会。”它只需要一个快速，快速的第二个。

I was on a three-month road trip this summer. It was something that I've been dreaming about doing my whole life, just driving around the U.S. and Canada and just figuring out where to go the next day, and it was kind of outstanding. I actually ran out, I spent too much money on my road trip for the savings that I had to take my year off, so I had to, I went to Seattle and I spent some time with friends working on a really neat project. One of the reasons that I took my year off was to spend more time with my family, and this really tragic thing happened where my sister-in-law, her intestine suddenly strangled one day, and we took her to the emergency room, and she was, she was in really bad shape. We almost lost her a couple of times, and I was there with my brother every day. It helped me realize something else during this project, is that recording that one second on a really bad day is extremely difficult. It's not -- we tend to take our cameras out when we're doing awesome things. Or we're, "Oh, yeah, this party, let me take a picture." But we rarely do that when we're having a bad day, and something horrible is happening. And I found that it's actually been very, very important to record even just that one second of a really bad moment. It really helps you appreciate the good times. It's not always a good day, so when you have a bad one, I think it's important to remember it, just as much as it is important to remember the [good] days.

今年夏天我去了三个月的公路旅行。这是我一直梦想着做我的整个生活，只是开车在美国和加拿大，只是想知道哪里去第二天，这是一种杰出的。我真的跑了，我花了太多的钱在路上，为了节省下来，我不得不把我的一年休假，所以我不得不，我去了西雅图，我花了一些时间和朋友在一个非常整洁的项目上工作。我休假一年的原因之一是花更多的时间和家人在一起，这真是一件悲惨的事情发生在我的嫂子身上，她的肠子突然在一天内窒息，我们带她去急诊室，她真的很糟糕。我们几乎失去了她几次，我和我的兄弟每天在那里。在这个项目中，它帮助我认识到了其他一些事情，就是在一个非常糟糕的日子里记录一秒钟是非常困难的。这不是-我们往往把我们的相机，当我们做可怕的事情。或者我们，“哦，是的，这个派对，让我拍一张照片。”但我们很少这样做，当我们有一个糟糕的一天，一些可怕的事情正在发生。我发现事实上，这是非常非常重要的记录，即使只是一秒钟的一个非常糟糕的时刻。它真的帮助你欣赏美好的时光。它并不总是一个好的一天，所以当你有一个坏的，我认为它是重要的记住它，正如它是重要的记住[好]天。

Now one of the things that I do is I don't use any filters, I don't use anything to -- I try to capture the moment as much as possible as the way that I saw it with my own eyes. I started a rule of first person perspective. Early on, I think I had a couple of videos where you would see me in it, but I realized that wasn't the way to go. The way to really remember what I saw was to record it as I actually saw it.

现在我做的一件事是我不使用任何过滤器，我不使用任何东西，我试图捕捉这一时刻，尽可能多的方式，我看到它与我自己的眼睛。我开始了第一人称视角的规则。早期，我想我有一些视频，你会看到我在它，但我意识到这不是去的方式。真正记住我看到的东西的方法就是把它记录下来，就像我亲眼看到的那样。

Now a couple of things that I have in my head about this project are, wouldn't it be interesting if thousands of people were doing this? I turned 31 last week, which is there. I think it would be interesting to see what everyone did with a project like this. I think everyone would have a different interpretation of it. I think everyone would benefit from just having that one second to remember every day. Personally, I'm tired of forgetting, and this is a really easy thing to do. I mean, we all have HD-capable cameras in our pockets right now -- most people in this room, I bet -- and it's something that's -- I never want to forget another day that I've ever lived, and this is my way of doing that, and it'd be really interesting also to see, if you could just type in on a website, "June 18, 2018," and you would just see a stream of people's lives on that particular day from all over the world.

现在我脑子里有一些关于这个项目的事情，如果有成千上万的人这样做，会不会很有趣？上星期我31岁了，就在那儿。我想看看每个人都做了这样的项目会很有趣。我想每个人都会有不同的解释。我想每个人都会从一秒钟的记忆中受益。就我个人而言，我已经厌倦了遗忘，这是一件很容易的事情。我的意思是，我们每个人的口袋里都有高清摄像头--大多数人在这个房间里，我敢打赌，这是我永远不想忘记的一天，我曾经生活过，这是我做的方式，如果你能在一个网站上输入“2018年6月18日”，那也很有趣。你只会看到世界各地的人们在那一天的生活。

And I don't know, I think this project has a lot of possibilities, and I encourage you all to record just a small snippet of your life every day, so you can never forget that that day, you lived.

我不知道，我认为这个项目有很多的可能性，我鼓励大家每天只记录一小段你的生活，所以你永远不会忘记那一天，你的生活。

Thank you.

谢谢。
