演讲简介：
对于那些不可思议的伟大艺术作品，当代社会常将之归功于创作者本身，人们从而对艺术天才抱有超乎寻常的期望，伊丽莎白.吉尔伯特对这一点进行了探索和思考，提出了对于创造天才的独到观点：与其认为某个个人是“天才”，不如说他/她在创作中获得了“天才”的帮助。这一演讲生动有趣、充满个人色彩、令人感动而充满启发。

- It's like asking somebody to swallow the sun. It just completely warps and distorts egos,
- 无异于要求他(她)吞下太阳，这彻底地扭曲了一个人的自我认知，
- and it creates all these unmanageable expectations about performance.

- And I think the pressure of that has been killing off our artists for the last 500 years.
- 我认为就是这种压力，在过去的500年间扼杀了无数艺术家。
- And, if this is true, and I think it is true, the question becomes, what now?
- 如果真是这样，至少我认为是这样的，那么我们的问题就是：现在该怎么办？
- Can we do this differently? Maybe go back to some more ancient understanding about the relationship between humans and the creative mystery.
