Or that when I get nervous, my hands start shaking and I'm really self-conscious about it.
或者我一紧张就会手抖，我还非常清楚这一点。
Or that my fly has been open this entire time and all of you noticed but I didn't, but it's closed so we're all good on that one.
或者我的裤子拉链一直都没拉上，所有人都注意到了，就我没有。但它是拉好的，所以没事了。
But one thing I'm actually really nervous about is my hands shaking.
我最担心的就是手抖这个问题了。
I remember when I was a kid, giving presentations in school, I would have my notes on a piece of paper,
我还记得我小时候在学校做演讲时，我会在一张纸上准备讲稿，
and I would put a notebook behind the paper so that people wouldn't be able to see the paper quivering.
并将纸贴到一个笔记本上，这样人们就看不出纸在颤抖了。
And I give a lot of talks. I know that about half of you in the audience are probably like,
我做过很多演讲。我知道你们中有一半听众都可能这么想，
"Building useless machines is really fun, but how is this in any way or form a business?" And giving talks is a part of it.
“制作无用机器确实挺好玩，但这怎么可能是商机呢？”演讲就是其中的一部分。

And the arrangers always put out a glass of water for you onstage so you have something to drink if you get thirsty,
组织者一定会在讲台上给你放杯水，这样你渴的时候就有水喝了，
and I always so badly want to drink that water, but I don't dare to pick the glass up because then people might be able to see that my hands are shaking.
我每次都超级想喝那杯水，但我没有勇气拿起杯子，因为人们可能就看出我的手在抖。
So what about a machine that hands you a glass of water? Sold to the nervous girl in the googly-eye shirt.
那么要不要来一台递给你一杯水的机器呢？就卖给穿大眼睛T恤的那位紧张女孩。
Actually, I need to take this off because I have a thing.
实际上我得把这T恤脱了，因为我有个玩意儿要展示。
Oh. I still don't know what to call this, but I think some sort of "head orbit device,"
噢。我还是不知道给它起什么名字，就叫“头部环绕仪”之类的吧，
because it rotates this platform around you and you can put anything on it.
因为这个平台会绕着你的头旋转，你想放什么东西上去都可以。
You can have a camera; you can get photos of your entire head. Like it's really … it's a very versatile machine.
比如放一台摄像机；你就可以拍到你整个头部的照片。这是一台非常多功能的机器。

演讲介绍

在这个愉快的，发自内心的演讲中，西蒙妮·吉尔茨分享了她的手艺：制造无用的机器人。她的发明-设计用来切蔬菜、剪头发、涂口红等等-很少(如果有的话)成功，这就是重点。吉尔茨说：“制造无用事物的真正美妙之处在于承认你并不总是知道最好的答案是什么。”“它关闭了你头脑中的声音，告诉你确切地知道这个世界是如何运作的。也许牙刷头盔不是答案，但至少你在问这个问题。”
