TED演讲：Theartofasking请求的艺术(10)

你是如何让这么多人为音乐付钱的？“ 我真正的答案是，我并没有逼迫他们，我所作的是请求他们。通过请求他人帮助 我与他们建立了联系 情感相通之后，人们就愿意帮助你。对于很多艺术家来说，这似乎不合逻辑。他们不愿意请求帮助。不过这并不容易。开口提出请求是一件不容易的事情。很多艺术家都不愿这样做。请求帮助可能会让你变得很脆弱。
And I got a lot of criticism online after my Kickstarter went big for continuing my crazy crowdsourcing practices, specifically for asking musicians who are fans if they wanted to join us on stage for a few songs in exchange for love and tickets and beer, and this was a doctored image that went up of me on a website.　
ickstarter（为创意项目募资的平台）上的项目发展壮大之后 我继续在人群中募资的行为 在网络上招来了很多批评。尤其是邀请喜欢我们音乐的音乐人 上台与我们一同演唱几首歌曲 换取门票、啤酒，加深感情 这是某网站刊登的一张 处理过的我的照片。
And this hurt in a really familiar way. And people saying, "You"re not allowed any more to ask for that kind of help," really reminded me of the people in their cars yelling, "Get a job." Because they weren"t with us on the sidewalk,and they couldn"t see the exchange that was happening between me and my crowd, an exchange that was very fair to us but alien to them.
