[ 鼓掌声 ]
>> Jimmy: FIRST OF ALL -- THANKS FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR THE SHOES.
>> 吉米：首先，非常感谢大家能来到这里，也感谢大家送的鞋子。
NOBODY EVER BRINGS ME SHOES, YOU BROUGHT ME SHOES, THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU, VERY KIND.
从来没有人给我送过鞋子，而你却送了我鞋子，你真是太好了，太善良了。
I'LL TELL YOU A STORY AND THIS IS HONESTLY TRUE.
我给你们讲一个故事，这个故事绝对是真实发生的。
THE LAST TIME, A FEW YEARS AGO YOU SENT ME A PAIR OF YEEZYS.
上次，也就是几年前，你给我寄了一双 Yeezys 鞋。
I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD
我这辈子从来都没有……
MORE PEOPLE COME UP AND TALK TO ME THAN WHEN I WAS WALKING AROUND IN THEM TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS LIKE,
现在过来和我搭话的人比以前我自己在人群中走动时还要多。以至于我都有点……（此处原文似乎有些不完整或表达不够清晰）。
THIS IS CRAZY, I'VE GOT TO GET THESE OFF, PEOPLE ARE CHASING ME.
这太疯狂了！我必须立刻脱掉这些东西，不然人们会追上我……
I'M WORRIED PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BEAT ME UP AND TAKE THESE.
我担心人们会揍我一顿，然后把那些东西抢走。
USUALLY PEOPLE WAIT -- I'VE SEEN THEM SLEEPING ON THE STREET WAITING FOR THESE SHOES.
通常人们会耐心等待；我见过他们在街上睡觉，就是为了等待这些鞋子。
IS THAT FOR YOU MORE REWARDING THAN HEARING PEOPLE SAY THEY LIKE YOUR MUSIC?
对你来说，这难道不比听到别人说他们喜欢你的音乐更有成就感吗？
>> BOTH.
>> 两者都是。
>> Jimmy: IT'S BOTH, YEAH.
>> 吉米：两者都是，没错。
SOMETIMES IT'S LIKE THE THING YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING AND YOU START HEARING SOMETHING ELSE, AND IT'S MORE EXCITING TO HEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
有时候，情况会像这样：你原本习惯听到某种声音，但突然开始听到另一种不同的声音，而听到这种新的声音会让人感到更加兴奋。
BUT NOT FOR YOU.
但是，对你来说并不适用（或：但这并不适用于你）。
>> YEAH, WHEN YOU GO OUT AND DO CREATIVE JOURNEYS, IT IS EXCITING FOR PEOPLE TO APPRECIATE THAT.
是啊，当你外出进行富有创意的旅行时，人们能够欣赏并认可你的努力，这确实是一件令人兴奋的事情。
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> 吉米：对啊。
>> ESPECIALLY IF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE.
>> 尤其是当大多数人认为这件事根本不可能实现的时候。
LIKE WHEN I STARTED OFF IN CHICAGO AS AN ARTIST.
就像我当初在芝加哥以艺术家的身份开始自己的职业生涯时一样。
AS A -- I'M A VISUAL ARTIST, I WENT TO ART SCHOOL.
作为一名视觉艺术家，我曾就读于艺术学校。
>> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> 吉米：没错。
>> AND I DECIDED TO START DOING MUSIC AND PEOPLE SAID IT WOULDN'T WORK OUT.
>> 然后我决定开始从事音乐创作，但很多人都认为这根本不可能成功。
THEN I STARTED PRODUCING AND SELLING BEATS AND I STARTED SELLING BEATS TO JAY-Z, ROCKA FELLA AND THAT WENT WELL.
之后，我开始制作并销售音乐节拍（即用于音乐中的节奏片段），并将这些节拍卖给了Jay-Z和Rocka Fella等人，生意做得相当不错。
I SAID I WANTED TO RAP AND PEOPLE SAID THAT WOULDN'T WORK, PRODUCER RAPPER, IT MEANT YOU WOULDN'T RAP AS WELL AS THE REAL RAPPERS.
我说我想从事说唱音乐，但大家都觉得这根本不可能实现。他们说：“作为制作人兼说唱歌手，你根本不可能比那些真正的说唱歌手表现得更好。
THAT STARTED WORKING OUT.
这个方法开始奏效了。
I SAID I WANTED TO DESIGN CLOSES AND THAT STARTED WORKING OUT.
我说我想设计一些特定的产品（或服务），于是这件事就开始有了具体的进展。
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S THE NEXT -- WHAT IS NEXT FOR YOU?
>> 吉米：你接下来的计划是什么？
>> WELL -- >> Jimmy: SPACE FORCE?
>> 嗯…… >> 吉米：太空部队？
[ LAUGHTER ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> I WOULD TOTALLY BE INVOLVED.
[ 笑声 ] [ 欢呼声和掌声 ] >> 我绝对会积极参与的。
>> Jimmy: YOU SHOULD DESIGN THE UNIFORMS FOR THE SPACE FORCE.
>> 吉米：你应该为太空部队设计制服。
[ LAUGHTER ] IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD DO IF PRESIDENT TRUMP ASKED YOU TO DO THAT?
（笑声）如果特朗普总统要求你这么做，你会照做吗？
>> I'M INTO DESIGNING.
>> 我对设计很感兴趣。
>> Jimmy: YEAH, WHY NOT.
>> 吉米：当然可以啊，为什么不呢？
[ LAUGHTER ] YOUR WIFE WAS HERE LAST WEEK -- >> SPACE FORCE!
（笑声）你妻子上周来过这里…… >> 太空部队！
>> Jimmy: OH MY GOODNESS.
>> 吉米：哦，我的天啊……
SOMEBODY PUT A LEASH ON HIM, WILL YOU?
快有人给他拴上皮带吧！
