[Interpreted] As I mentioned in our investor conference earlier this year, metaverse is a concept.
[解釋] 正如我在今年早些時候的投資者會議上提到的,元界是一個概念。
It's not a product.
它不是一個產品。
And before this concept emerged, actually, many of the elements associated with metaverse already existed.
實際上,在這個概念出現之前,與元界相關的許多元素已經存在。
Whether it's virtual reality, a tight social community or a system, social system or a self-reinforcing ecosystem, it's already existed.
無論是虛擬現實、緊密的社交社區還是系統、社交系統還是自我強化的生態系統,它都已經存在。
And there are a lot of company is already developing product on those concepts, for example, Facebook and Tencent, and actually Bilibili is one of them.

[Interpreted] So that's why I think that if someone hears the concept of metaverse and decided to get into this business probably would be a little bit too late.
[解釋] 所以這就是為什麼我認為如果有人聽到元界的概念並決定進入這個行業可能會有點太晚了。
That is because those elements such as social system, self-reinforcing ecosystem, all of which cannot be done in a couple of months or even in years.
那是因為社會制度、自我強化的生態系統等要素,這一切都不是幾個月甚至幾年就能完成的。

[Interpreted] And I believe there are some very, very important elements within the metaverse concept, which is the self-reinforcing content ecosystem.
[解釋] 而且我相信元界概念中有一些非常非常重要的元素,即自我強化的內容生態系統。
When we talk about metaverse, we think this is not something can be done by a singular company.
當我們談論元界時,我們認為這不是一家單一公司可以完成的事情。
You need to have massive content production capability to produce another world.
你需要擁有海量的內容製作能力,才能製作出另一個世界。
So that's why we believe it requires someone deeply connected into this system.
所以這就是為什麼我們認為它需要有人深深地連接到這個系統中。
And through creating content, they will have achieved benefit, hence, bonding tighter, even tighter within the system itself.
通過創建內容,他們將獲得收益,因此,在系統本身內的結合更緊密,甚至更緊密。

【解讀】B站擁有非常龐大的內容創作者或在B站系統內創作內容的基礎,他們正從這個創作過程中受益,這使得B站成為在這個元界概念中進一步探索的理想平台。

其實,這是嗶哩嗶哩一直在踐行和信奉的。
And we have many examples linked to this concept, for example, virtual uploader.
我們有很多與這個概念相關的例子,例如虛擬上傳器。
Our content creator can leverage technology like motion capture, virtual reality, augmented reality, turning themselves into another character in another world and creating content such as singing and dancing, talking jokes, all of that, attracting users and make user fall in love with them.
我們的內容創作者可以利用動作捕捉、虛擬現實、增強現實等技術,將自己變成另一個世界的另一個角色,並創造出唱歌跳舞、講笑話等內容,吸引用戶,讓用戶愛上他們.
And itself, it is a perfect example of implementing the creation system into this metaverse concept.

[Interpreted] When we're talking about metaverse, an independent separate universe that's attracting hundreds of millions of users who are getting attached to this, it requires way more than what we have now, those content creators to continuously create content and keep them attracted.
[解釋] 當我們談論元界,一個獨立的獨立宇宙,吸引著數億用戶,它需要比我們現在擁有的更多的東西,那些內容創建者不斷創造內容並保持他們的吸引力.
And that's the exact reason why we believe the metaverse requires a self-reinforcing, deep content creation ecosystem.
這就是為什麼我們認為元宇宙需要一個自我強化的深度內容創作生態系統的確切原因。

And within that 267 million MAUs, a vast majority are the most creative, most energetic young Chinese.
而在這 2.67 億月活躍用戶中,絕大多數是最具創造力、最有活力的中國年輕一代。
So that's why I do think Bilibili is probably one of the best companies to practice or to get into the metaverse business.

And metaverse represents a new choice, not a replacement of the existing reality.
而元界代表了一種新的選擇,而不是替代現有的現實。
It's always good to have an additional choice such as the invention of television and the invention of mobile phones.
有額外的選擇總是好的,比如電視的發明和手機的發明。
It provides alternative for you to choose, not to replace the old thing.
它提供替代品供您選擇,而不是取代舊的東西。
And I recently visited the Shanghai [planetarium] (corrected by company after the call).

And actually, a lot of the things that in the museum can be achieved in a much greater effect in virtual reality or in the metaverse.
實際上,博物館中的很多東西都可以在虛擬現實或虛擬世界中以更大的效果實現。
Let us imagine all those things that you're seeing in [planetarium] (corrected by company after the call) and in the museum can be spread in the Internet, allowing all the children, all the kids in China to physically see, get a touch of how the sun is looking like, how this saturn is looking like.
讓我們想像一下,你在[天文館](電話後由公司糾正)和博物館裡看到的所有東西都可以在互聯網上傳播,讓所有的孩子,所有中國的孩子都親眼看到,得到一個觸摸太陽的樣子,土星的樣子。
So I believe it will bring great benefit to the society.

[Interpreted] Indeed, for this year's S11, on the final game night, we have record high peak concurrent users.

And our platform's DAU also reached record high in our operating history.
而我們平台的DAU也創下了我們運營歷史的新高。
I discussed this with our internal team, and we are predicting that the Bilibili's S11 final game night is probably -- has probably the highest peak concurrent users in China's live broadcasting history -- Internet live broadcasting history.
我和我們內部的團隊討論過這個問題,我們預測B站的S11決賽之夜可能是——可能是中國直播歷史上同時在線人數最高的——互聯網直播歷史。

[Interpreted] And at the same time, I want to emphasize that the S11 is not a one-way content output.
【解讀】同時我想強調一下,S11並不是單向的內容輸出。
Actually, during the S11, we have massive live broadcasting host is doing S game-related live broadcasting.
其實在S11期間,我們有大量的直播主在做S遊戲相關的直播。
We also have tons of content creator creating derivative content associated with S11.
我們還有大量內容創建者創建與 S11 相關的衍生內容。
For those videos alone, we have total video play over 2.8 billion times.
僅這些視頻,我們的視頻總播放量就超過 28 億次。
And all these data points support the argument that Bilibili's Live Broadcasting is a natural extension of our video community, and it is forming a self-reinforcing ecosystem or a positive feedback loop within our community.
所有這些數據點都支持這樣的論點,即B站的直播是我們視頻社區的自然延伸,它正在形成一個自我強化的生態系統或我們社區內的正反饋循環。

[Interpreted] And years ago, investor would ask me why Bilibili would do live broadcasting.
【解讀】幾年前,投資人會問我為什麼Bilibili會做直播。
My answer was live broadcasting is not a content vertical, rather a capability.
我的回答是直播不是內容垂直,而是一種能力。
And for Bilibili, it's an important component of our content ecosystem.
對於 Bilibili 來說,它是我們內容生態系統的重要組成部分。
With or without S11, our live broadcasting has already deeply embedded into our video community.
不管有沒有 S11,我們的直播已經深深融入了我們的視頻社區。
For example, we see tons of knowledge, lifestyle and entertainment-related live broadcasting provided by our content creators, and we believe this has really integrated in our community.
例如,我們看到內容創作者提供了大量與知識、生活方式和娛樂相關的直播,我們相信這已經真正融入了我們的社區。
And live broadcasting on Bilibili is spreading its wings and making multiple times of influence and impact to our content community.
嗶哩嗶哩直播正在展翅高飛,對我們的內容社區產生了多次影響和影響。

[Interpreted] Again that I think Bilibili's Live Broadcasting is actually breaking a lot of people's stereotypes about live broadcasting.
【解讀】再一次,我覺得嗶哩嗶哩的直播其實是在打破很多人對直播的刻板印象。
Well, in the past, when people start thinking about live broadcasting, it is showroom or e-sports.
嗯,在過去,當人們開始考慮直播時,它是展廳或電競。
However, for Bilibili's Live Broadcasting, our content category covers a wide array of verticals.
但是,對於嗶哩嗶哩的直播,我們的內容類別涵蓋了廣泛的垂直領域。
Basically, what content verticals we have on the video platform, we have it on live broadcasting.
基本上,我們在視頻平台上有哪些內容垂直,我們在直播上有。
And most importantly, we are forcing layers of positive feedback loop in terms of content verticals and as well as our content creators.
最重要的是,我們在內容垂直領域以及我們的內容創建者方面強制實施多層積極反饋循環。
For example, our content creator in games, they can also do games-related live broadcasting.
比如我們在遊戲中的內容創作者,他們也可以做遊戲相關的直播。
And we are also helping our content creator to expand their content creation category.
我們也在幫助我們的內容創作者擴展他們的內容創作類別。
For example, there's content -- there's a food content creator who's also very good at playing games.
例如,有內容——有一個美食內容創作者,他也非常擅長玩遊戲。
He's actually ranking the top live broadcasting host in the Genshin Impact content creator.
他實際上是Genshin Impact內容創建者中排名第一的直播主持人。
And most importantly, I do believe that live broadcasting is a very healthy mechanism to help our content creator to make money.
最重要的是,我確實相信直播是一種非常健康的機制,可以幫助我們的內容創作者賺錢。
For example, to charge people from watching videos, it's probably not the best monetization method.
例如,通過觀看視頻向人們收費,這可能不是最好的貨幣化方法。
But if you involve a content creator so much, you would be very willing to watching his live broadcasting, buying his recommended product or just simply tip him to showcase your appreciation.
但是如果你對一個內容創作者有這麼多的參與,你會非常願意看他的直播,購買他推薦的產品,或者只是簡單地給他打賞以表達你的感激之情。
And that's also the exact reason that we believe that live broadcasting is a very important component within Bilibili's community.
這也是我們認為直播是 Bilibili 社區中非常重要的組成部分的確切原因。
And this chemistry that is playing in the community is creating a very benefit -- is a very large benefit to all the participants.
這種在社區中發揮的化學作用正在創造一個非常好的好處——對所有參與者來說都是一個非常大的好處。

Secondly is that will really to discover and develop Bilibili's unique live broadcasting categories.
其次是真正發現和發展B站獨有的直播品類。
