As someone who has spent his entire career trying to be invisible standing in front of an audience is a cross between an out-of-body experience and a deer caught in the headlights, so please forgive me for violating one of the TED commandments by relying on words on paper, and I only hope I'm not struck by lightning bolts before I'm done.
如果一个人毕生都在幕后工作， 突然站在台上面对观众 他就会有类似魂魄出窍和手足无措的怯场， 所以请您原谅我违反TED戒律 照着稿子念， 我希望念完之前，不要被雷劈到（玩笑：违反了TED戒律）。
