Hang on one second. I'll just leave a message.

请等一下 我条短信。

I thought you said all I had to do was turn the crank.

你不是说只要转动条就行吗。

I'll just leave them a message, you know.

我只要给他们条短信就。

They didn't have my wind-up penguin.

大商店没有条企鹅。

He wore it every day, but he never wound it.

他每天都戴，却从未上过条。

Clockwork is that mechanism we have for the old fashioned watches.

条是我们为老式手设计机械装置。

A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound.

手停了依然是只手，还可以重上条。

Oh, no, your car needs winding up again!

哦，不，你汽车需条了。

Oh, just text her " J. K."

给她条信息告诉她你开玩笑就行了。

" And tweet it out for all the TED viewers out there."

“再条推特推给所有 TED 观众。”

Oh, dear, they're always running out of wind-up penguins in that place.

哦，亲爱，那条企鹅总是卖到缺货。

As though they've wound you up and you do something.

像他们给你上了条 然后你应声而动。

Every time the doll was wound up it sang beautifully.

每次只要给娃娃上紧条，娃娃就会欢快唱歌。

You just move your... - Yeah... arm around to keep it going.

你只要动动手臂...-没错。给上条了它才会动。

And I want to say this — folks whose main-springs are busted are better dead.

如果谁身上条断了，他就不如死了。.

Now, in the reaction, he was running down like an overwound clock.

此刻，由于反作用，他像一架条上得太紧时钟一样精疲力竭了。

I don't know what time their plane gets in, but let me, let me shoot them a text.

我不知道他们什么时候下机，不过我条短信问问看吧。

Oh, I am winding an old watch that your mother gave me for Valentine's day.

我在给这块旧上条，是你妈妈送给我情人节礼物。

But how was he to get the materials out of which to make the wheels and the main spring?

但是，如何才能得到制作轮子和主条必要材料呢？

He used to wind them, but of course it's quite wrong for a valet to do it.

以前都是他上条，但是他作了贴身男仆就不该干这个了。
