1.So, what Im going to is just give you the latest episode of Indias, maybe the worlds longest running soap opera, which is cricket. 我要给大家介绍 一部印度肥皂剧的最新的一集 这部剧可能是世界上最长的在播肥皂剧了 它就是板球2.And may it run forever, because it gives people like me a living. 但愿这个剧集能永远持续下去，因为有很多人，比如我，以此为生3.Its got everything that youd want a normal soap opera to want. 板球具备一个肥皂剧所具备的所有因素：4.Its got love, joy, happiness, sadness, tears, laughter, lots of deceit, intrigue. 爱，快乐，幸福 悲伤，眼泪，和欢笑， 也有不胜枚举的诡计和阴谋5.And like all good soaps it jumps 20 years when the audience interest changes. 像所有优秀的剧集一样，20年中，随着观众兴趣的改变 板球也发生着巨变6.And thats exactly what cricket has done. 这也就是板球所经历的7.Its jumped 20 years into 20 over game. 它在20年时间中， 转变成一项20回合的运动（指每方20回合的国际性20比赛，板球运动中限制性回合的一种。译者注）8.And thats what Im going to talk about, how a small change, leads to a very big revolution. 而这就是我今天演讲的主题 一个小的改变 如何引发了一个巨大的革命9.But it wasnt always like that. 其实板球并不是总是像今天这样10.Cricket wasnt always this speed-driven generations game. 它并不是从一开始就是一项 忙碌一族的运动11.There was a time when you played cricket, you played timeless test matches, when you played on till the game got over. 曾经有段时间，一旦你参与板球运动 你就是参与了无限时的比赛 从比赛开始到比赛结束没有时间限制12.And there was this game in March 1939 that started on the third of March and ended on the 14th of March. 1939年3月，就有一场这样的比赛 开始于3月3号 一直到3月14号才结束13.And it only ended because the English cricketers had to go from Durban to Cape Town, which is a two hour train journey, to catch the ship that left on the 17th, 而且促使它结束的原因是 英国的板球运动员必须要坐两天火车 从德班（南非一城市）出发赶到开普敦 去那里搭乘17号起航的轮船14.because the next ship wasnt around for a long time. 而下一班船要隔很久的时间才起航15.So, the match was ended in between. 所以，比赛还没一决胜负就只能先暂停16.And one of the English batsmen said, You know what? 当时一个英国的击球手说，“你猜怎么么着？17.another half an hour and we would have won. 再比那么半个小时我们可就赢了。”18.(Laughter) Another half an hour after 12 days. （笑声） 这半个小时发生在12天之后19.There were two Sundays in between. But of course Sundays are chur
