Im Sirena. 大家好，我叫黄凱珉。 Im 11 years old and from Connecticut. 我今年十一岁，来自康涅狄格州。 (Audience cheers) (Applause) （掌声） Well, Im not really sure why Im here. 嗯，我确实不知道我为什么会在这里。 (Laughter) （笑声） I mean, what does this have to do with technology, entertainment and design? 我的意思是，我和这些到底有什么关系科技，娱乐和设计？ Well, I count my iPod, cellphone and computer as technology, 好吧，我把我的iPod，手机和电脑都称为科技 but this has nothing to do with that. 但这都和这个（小提琴）没有关系。 So I did a little research on it. 那么我做了一些研究。 Well, this is what I found. 这是我的发现。 Of course, I hope I can memorize it. 当然，我希望我能在这里记得说出来。 (Clears throat) The violin is made of a wood box and four metal strings. 小提琴基本上是用木头块做的。它有四根主弦。 By pulling a string, it vibrates and produces a sound wave, 通过拉弦，弦产生震动。结果产生一种声波。 which passes through a piece of wood called a bridge, 声音通过称为琴马的木板进入木盒，然后得到放大。 and goes down to the wood box and gets amplified, but ... let me think. 可是⋯让我想想。 (Laughter) （笑声）想起来了，在另一方面 Placing your finger at different places on the fingerboard 通过把手放在指板的不同位置 changes the string length, and that changes the frequency of the sound wave. 它改变弦的长度这改变声波的频率。 (Sighs) Oh, my gosh! (Laughter) 噢，我的天哪！（笑声） OK, this is sort of technology, 好吧，这就是所谓的科技。 but I can call it a 16th-century technology. 但我把它叫做十六世纪的科技。 But actually, the most fascinating thing that I found 实际上，我发现最美妙的事是 was that even the audio system or wave transmission nowadays 当时称之为的声音系统现在叫做声波的传递 are still based on the same principle of producing and projecting sound. 现在根本上还是基于同样的原则来产生和放大声音。 Isnt that cool? 这是不是很酷？ (Laughter) （笑声） (Applause) （鼓掌） Design -- I love its design. 设计—我喜欢小提琴的设计。 I rem
