凝視著那張照片，
00:42
close my eyes tightly,

轉變了一個世代：「我有一個夢。」
00:51
by his words, "I have a dream."
14
39360
1480
00:53
But I did get to meet him.
15
41760
1616
但我真的得以見到他。
00:55
Now, obviously, I didn't meet Dr. King,
16
43400
1896
很明顯，我沒有當面見到金恩博士，
00:57
but I met a man named Dr. Vincent Harding.
17
45320
2080
但我見到了一個叫
文森哈定（Vincent Harding）的人，

他從第一天起就和金恩博士合作，

He worked with Dr. King from day one

and even wrote some of his

You see, this was a really
important moment for me as a kid,

20
53600

這是兒時的我一個非常重要的時刻，
01:08
because it was the first time
that I realized

21
56480
2136
因為那是我第一次了解到
01:10
that it wasn't just Dr. King
who led this revolution,

22
58640

領導這場革命的不只是金恩博士，

01:27
It took me a long time to realize
the significance of this moment,

27
75720
3136
我花了很長的時間，
才了解這個時刻的重要性，
才了解這個時刻的重要性，
01:30
until I was much older.
28
78880
1256
長大很多之後才懂。
01:32
And like I said, I grew up in Chicago.
29
80160
1856
剛剛說過，我在芝加哥長大，
01:34
I grew up in a rough, poor neighborhood,
30
82040
2056
那是個艱苦、貧窮的街坊，
01:36
but it didn't really matter to me as kid
31
84120
1976
但我小時候並不在意這些，
01:38
because I literally have
the most incredible family in the world.
the most incredible family in the world.
32
86120
3096
因為我有世界上最棒的家庭。
01:41
Two things that I did
struggle with a lot
struggle with a lot
33
89240
2096
真的讓我很掙扎的事有兩件：
01:43
growing up was one --
34
91360
1216
其一是長大——
01:44
that my dad has been sick my whole life.
35
92600
2296
我一生中，我爸爸都一直在生病。
01:46
He suffers from Parkinson's
and pancreatitis,
and pancreatitis,
36
94920
2496
他有帕金森氏症和胰臟炎，
01:49
and as a kid, it was so hard
for me to watch my hero
for me to watch my hero
37
97440
3296
身為一個孩子，
我真的很難眼睜睜看著
我真的很難眼睜睜看著
01:52
in so much pain.
38
100760
1280
我的英雄如此受苦。
01:54
And my other issue was with me.
39
102640
2336
我的另一個問題與我自己有關。
01:57
I guess you could say
I had an identity crisis.
I had an identity crisis.
40
105000
2200
我想，可以說我有身份認同危機。
01:59
I had to move four times
during high school,
during high school,
41
107640
2096
高中時期，我經歷四次搬家，
02:01
and my freshman year I went
to an extremely racist high school.
to an extremely racist high school.
42
109760
3296
高一時，我去的高中
是極度種族主義的學校。
是極度種族主義的學校。
02:05
Kids were so cruel.
43
113080
1376
孩子們很殘酷。
02:06
They gave us hate letters,
44
114480
1656
他們會寫仇恨的信給我們，
02:08
wrote terrible things on our lockers
45
116160
1816
在我們的櫃子上寫很糟的字句，
02:10
and because I'm biracial,
they would tell me,
they would tell me,
46
118000
2136
因為我是黑白混血，他們會告訴我，
02:12
"You can't be both.
You have to choose, black or white."
You have to choose, black or white."
47
120160
2656
「你不能當兩者。
你得選擇，黑或白。」
你得選擇，黑或白。」
02:14
And in the end
I just resented being either.
I just resented being either.
48
122840
2216
最後，我痛恨站在任何一邊。
02:17
And then all of a sudden,
my senior year rolls around, 2008,
my senior year rolls around, 2008,
49
125080
2856
轉眼間，我高三那年情況
就不同了，2008 年，
就不同了，2008 年，
02:19
and being mixed, being racially
ambiguous is this new cool fad,
ambiguous is this new cool fad,
50
127960
2976
混血、模糊的種族
成了很酷的新潮流，
成了很酷的新潮流，
02:22
like, "Natalie, now it's OK
for you to like you. You're pretty now."
for you to like you. You're pretty now."
51
130960
3216
好像是「娜塔莉，現在你可以
做自己了。你現在是美麗的了。」
做自己了。你現在是美麗的了。」
02:26
I was over it. I was tired of caring
about what other people thought
about what other people thought
52
134200
3216
我釋懷了；我厭倦了
在意其他人的想法，
在意其他人的想法，
02:29
and I just wanted to hurry up,
53
137440
1616
我只想快一點，
02:31
go through my classes,
whatever school I was going to be at next,
whatever school I was going to be at next,
54
139080
3096
快點把課修完，不論
接下來要去哪所學校，
接下來要去哪所學校，
02:34
and graduate.
55
142200
1256
快點畢業。
02:35
It wasn't until I was 17
56
143480
2096
直到我十七歲時，
02:37
and I saw a film
called "Invisible Children"
called "Invisible Children"
57
145600
2096
看了一部電影《被遺忘的天使》，
02:39
that something happened.
58
147720
2240
有什麼事發生了。
02:43
Child soldiers,
59
151080
1656
孩童士兵，
02:44
children as young as my nephews
60
152760
2296
和我姪子一樣年輕的孩子，
02:47
being abducted,
given AK-47s and forced to kill,
given AK-47s and forced to kill,
61
155080
4136
被綁架，被迫拿著
AK-47 步槍去殺人，
AK-47 步槍去殺人，
02:51
not just anyone, but oftentimes
forced to kill their own parents,
forced to kill their own parents,
62
159240
3056
不只是殺任何人，通常
還被迫殺掉他們自己的父母、
還被迫殺掉他們自己的父母、
02:54
their own siblings --
63
162320
1776
他們自己的兄妹。
02:56
a rebel army committing mass murder
for no political or religious reason,
for no political or religious reason,
64
164120
4616
一支叛軍，犯下大屠殺，
不是為了政治或宗教的理由，
不是為了政治或宗教的理由，
03:00
just because.
65
168760
1200
只為殺而殺。
03:02
25 years.
66
170880
1520
二十五年。
03:05
25 years this conflict has been going on.
67
173080
2816
這場衝突持續了二十五年。
03:07
I'm 20 years old,
68
175920
1416
我二十歲。
03:09
so that makes this conflict
five years older than me.
five years older than me.
69
177360
2480
所以這場衝突比我還大五歲。
03:12
One man,
70
180480
1936
一個人，
03:14
one man with one charismatic voice,
71
182440
2616
一個有著迷人聲音的人，
03:17
started this whole thing.
72
185080
1576
起始了這一切。
03:18
His name is Joseph Kony.
73
186680
1200
他就是約瑟夫科尼（ Joseph Kony）。
03:21
When I saw this film, something happened.
74
189680
1976
我看這部電影時，有什麼發生了。
03:23
Something started
kind of stirring inside of me,
kind of stirring inside of me,
75
191680
2256
好像有種感覺在我內在攪動著，
03:25
and I couldn't identify what it was.
76
193960
1736
我無法辨視出它是什麼。
03:27
I didn't know if it was rage,
if it was pity,
if it was pity,
77
195720
2136
我不知道那是不是憤怒或憐憫，
03:29
if I felt guilty
because this was the first time
because this was the first time
78
197880
2256
我是否有罪惡感，因為那是我初次
03:32
I'd heard about a 25-year-long war.
79
200160
1680
聽說這場二十五年的戰爭。
我甚至說不出它是什麼感覺。
03:34
I couldn't even give it a name.
80
202880
1536
03:36
All I knew is that it kicked me off my ass
and I started asking questions.
and I started asking questions.
81
204440
2746
我只知道，它把我打醒，
讓我開始問問題。
讓我開始問問題。
03:39
What do I do? What can one 17-year-old do?
82
207196
3620
我要做什麼？
十七歲的人能做什麼？
十七歲的人能做什麼？
03:42
You've got to give me something.
83
210840
1524
你們得要給我一點什麼。
03:44
And they gave me something.
84
212880
1286
而他們就給了我。
03:46
The founders and filmmakers
at Invisible Children told me

85
214800
2696
《被遺忘的天使》的創辦人
和製片人告訴我，
和製片人告訴我，
03:49
that there was this bill,
86
217520
1256
有一項法案，
03:50
that if we could
just get this bill passed,
just get this bill passed,
87
218800
2016
如果我們能讓它通過，
03:52
it would do two things:
one, it would apprehend Joseph Kony
one, it would apprehend Joseph Kony
88
220840
2776
它就能做兩件事：第一，
它能逮捕約瑟夫科尼
它能逮捕約瑟夫科尼
03:55
and the top commanders in his rebel army,
89
223640
1976
以及他的叛軍當中的高層指揮官，
03:57
and two, it would provide funding
for the recovery of these regions
for the recovery of these regions
90
225640
3176
第二，它能提供資金，
讓這些被戰爭蹂躪了
讓這些被戰爭蹂躪了
04:00
that had been devastated
by 25 years of war.
by 25 years of war.
91
228840
2096
二十五年的區域能夠恢復。
04:02
And I was like, done. Let me at it.
92
230960
1696
我就說，好，讓我來做。
04:04
I swear I will do whatever I can
to make this happen.
to make this happen.
93
232680
2480
我發誓我會盡我所能讓法案通過。
04:07
So myself and 99 other
idealistic 18- to 20-year-olds
idealistic 18- to 20-year-olds
94
235800
4296
所以，我自己以及另外 99 位
18 到 20 歲的理想主義者
18 到 20 歲的理想主義者
04:12
hopped on a plane to intern
in San Diego with Invisible Children.
in San Diego with Invisible Children.
95
240120
3080
跳上飛機，到聖地牙哥
和《被遺忘的天使》一起實習。
和《被遺忘的天使》一起實習。
04:15
I was postponing college.
We weren't getting paid for this
We weren't getting paid for this
96
243880
3216
我把大學學業暫緩。
我們做這件事是不拿錢的。
我們做這件事是不拿錢的。
04:19
and you could call it irresponsible
or crazy -- my parents did.
or crazy -- my parents did.
97
247120
3176
你可以說這樣做很不負責
或瘋狂——我父母就這麼說。
或瘋狂——我父母就這麼說。
04:22
But for us, it would have been
insane not to go.
insane not to go.
98
250320
3160
但對我們來說，不去做才是瘋了。
04:26
We all felt this urgency,
and we would do whatever it took
and we would do whatever it took
99
254120
3255
我們都感受到這急迫性，
且我們願意不計代價
且我們願意不計代價
04:29
to pass this bill.
100
257399
1721
讓法案能通過。
04:31
So we were given our first task.
101
259839
1857
所以，我們得到了第一個任務。
04:33
We were going to plan an event called
the Rescue of Joseph Kony's Child Soldiers
the Rescue of Joseph Kony's Child Soldiers
102
261720
3776
我們要規劃一個活動，
叫「拯救約瑟夫科尼的童兵」，
叫「拯救約瑟夫科尼的童兵」，
04:37
where participants would come
in a hundred cities worldwide
in a hundred cities worldwide
103
265520
3136
活動的參與者
會到全球一百個城市，
會到全球一百個城市，
04:40
and rally in their city center
104
268680
1456
他們會在市中心集結，
04:42
until a celebrity or a political figure
105
270160
2096
直到有名人或是政治人物
04:44
came and used their voice
on behalf of these child soldiers,
on behalf of these child soldiers,
106
272280
2896
站出來並為這些童兵發聲，
04:47
and at that point each city was "rescued."
107
275200
2200
那時，每個城市就被「拯救」了。
04:49
But the catch was, we weren't
leaving the cities until we were rescued.
leaving the cities until we were rescued.
108
277840
3640
但難的地方在於，沒被拯救的話
我們就不能離開城市。
我們就不能離開城市。
04:54
I was given Chicago and nine other cities
109
282000
2176
我分配到芝加哥和另外九個城市，
04:56
and I told my bosses, I was like,
110
284200
1616
我這樣告訴我的老闆：
04:57
"If we're going for big-name people,
why not go for the queen bee? Right?
why not go for the queen bee? Right?
111
285840
3456
「若我們的目標是知名人士，
為何不直接找蜂王？對嗎？
為何不直接找蜂王？對嗎？
為什麼不找歐普拉？
05:01
Why not go for Oprah Winfrey?"
112
289320
1456
他們覺得我有點太理想化，
但我們是試著想做大事。
但我們是試著想做大事。
05:02
They thought I was a little idealistic,
but I mean, we were trying to think big.
but I mean, we were trying to think big.
113
290800
3776
05:06
We were doing an impossible thing,
114
294600
1656
我們在做不可能的事，
05:08
so why not try to reach
more impossible things?
more impossible things?
115
296280
2216
所以，為何不去嘗試更不可能的事？
05:10
And so we had from January
to April to get this done.
to April to get this done.
116
298520
2480
我們要在一月到四月間完成此事。
05:14
This is the number of hours
that I spent on logistics,

117
302480

這是我花在後勤運籌上的時數，
05:17
from getting permits
to rallying participants

118
305520
2376
從取得許可，到整合參與者
05:19
and finding venues.
119
307920
1520
以及找到集合地。
05:23
This is the number of times
that I was rejected

05:33
on Red Bull and Diet Coke
to stay awake during this movement.

123

05:36
(Laughter)
124
324000
1216
（笑聲）
05:37
You can judge me if you want to.
125
325240

That is my hospital bill

這是我的醫院帳單，
我的腎臟受到感染，

05:42
from an overconsumption of caffeine
due to this event.
due to this event.
127
330400

原因是在這個活動中過度消費咖啡因。
05:45
(Laughter)
128
333840
1016
（笑聲）
05:46
These were just some
of the ridiculous things that we did
of the ridiculous things that we did
129
334880
2696
這些只是我們所做的一些荒謬事，
試著想讓這個活動成功。
05:49
to try and pull this event off.
130
337600
1536
05:51
And so April 21 rolls around
and the event begins.
and the event begins.
131
339160
2736
到了 4 月 21 日，活動開始了。
05:53
A hundred cities around the world.
They were beautiful.

341920

全球一百個城市，它們美極了。
05:56
Six days later, all the cities
were rescued but one:

133
344520
3296
六天後，所有的城市都被拯救了，
只差一個：
只差一個：
05:59
Chicago.

347840
1576
芝加哥。
06:01
So we were waiting in the city.
135
349440
2376
我們在城市裡等待，
06:03
People started coming
from all over the world,
from all over the world,
136
351840
2176
開始有世界各地的人到來，
全國各地的人都來增援，
06:06
all over the country to be reinforcements
137
354040
1953
將他們的聲音與我們結合。
06:08
and join their voice with ours.
138
356017
1519
06:09
And finally, on May 1,
139
357560
1256
終於，5 月 1 日，
06:10
we wrapped ourselves around Oprah's studio
140
358840

我們圍在歐普拉的攝影棚外，
06:13

that I'd give them a minute
to state their case.

男人：歐普拉，

他們已經在這裡六天了。

This started 100,000 people worldwide.

全球有十萬人參與。
07:03
Now it's down to 500 standing strong

07:15
Oprah, I have to say

她是我們今年的實習生，
07:21
and she said, "My one goal
is to get Oprah."

166
429000
2736
她說：「我唯一的目標
就是要見到歐普拉。」
就是要見到歐普拉。」
07:23
She had 2,000 people come out on Saturday,
167
431760
2696
她讓兩千人在星期六走出來，
07:26
but it rained.
168
434480
1216
但當時在下雨。
07:27
She stood here in the rain with 50 people.
169
435720
2736
她和五十個人在這裡，站在雨中。
07:30
When they heard she was here,
hundreds started coming.
hundreds started coming.
170
438480
2856
當他們聽說她在這裡，
數百人開始過來，
數百人開始過來，
07:33
People are here from Mexico, Australia.
171
441360
2016
這裡的人有的來自墨西哥、澳洲。

443400
1216
娜塔莉十八歲。
07:36
Don't think you're too young.
173
444640
1576
不要覺得自己太年輕。
07:38
You can change the world any day.
174
446240
1736
任何時候你都可以改變世界。
07:40

08:12
(Applause)
183
480480
4056
（掌聲）
08:16
So you would think
that this is the moment in my life,
that this is the moment in my life,
184
484560
3016
所以，你們可能會覺得這是
我人生中的偉大時刻，
我人生中的偉大時刻，
08:19
the pinnacle that
made me an extraordinary.
made me an extraordinary.
185
487600
2440
讓我不凡的頂峰時刻。
08:22
And it was an awesome moment.
186
490920
1416
那是個很棒的時刻。
08:24
I mean, I was on top of the world.
187
492360
1656
我是指，我在世界的頂端。
08:26
Ten million people
watched the "Oprah Winfrey Show."
watched the "Oprah Winfrey Show."
188
494040
2456
有一千萬人會看歐普拉的節目。
08:28
But looking back, that wasn't it.
189
496520
1736
但現在回頭看，並非如此。
08:30
Don't get me wrong.
190
498280
1216
別誤會我。
08:31
Like I said, it was great moment.
191
499520
1616
如我所言，那是個很棒的時刻。
08:33
It made for a heck of a profile picture
on Facebook for a week.
on Facebook for a week.
192
501160
3096
有足足一個星期，
它是臉書上最棒的大頭貼。
它是臉書上最棒的大頭貼。
08:36
(Laughter)
193
504280
1216
（笑聲）
08:37
But I had been extraordinary all along,
194
505520
2136
但我一直都是不凡的，
08:39
and I wasn't alone.
195
507680
1200
且我並不是一個人。
08:41
You see, even though
my story was featured in this film,
my story was featured in this film,
196
509480
2655
雖然在這部影片中
主打的是我的故事，
主打的是我的故事，
08:44
I was just one of a hundred interns
197
512159
1697
我只是一百位實習生之一，
08:45
who worked their tails off
to make this happen.
to make this happen.
198
513880
2679
他們都用勁全力才讓這件事成真。
08:49
I'm up in the air,
199
517799
1216
我被高舉起來，
08:51
but the guy that I'm sitting
on his shoulders,
on his shoulders,
200
519039
2177
但用肩膀扛著我的那個人，
他是我最好的朋友，
08:53
he's my best friend.
201
521240
1216
名叫約哈納斯歐柏曼
（Johannes Oberman），

08:54
His name is Johannes Oberman

522480
1376
從第一天起就
和我一起在芝加哥打拼，
和我一起在芝加哥打拼，
08:55
and Johannes worked with me
from day one in Chicago,
from day one in Chicago,
203
523880
2456
和我花一樣長的時間，
有一樣多無法睡覺的夜晚。
有一樣多無法睡覺的夜晚。
08:58
just as long hours,
just as many sleepless nights as I did.
just as many sleepless nights as I did.
204
526360
2800
09:02
The girl on the right,
her name's Bethany Bylsma.

右邊的女孩叫做

貝瑟妮拜歐斯瑪（Bethany Bylsma）。
09:04
Bethany planned New York City and Boston,
206
532720
2056
貝瑟妮規劃了紐約市和波士頓，
09:06
and they were seriously
the most beautiful events that we held.
the most beautiful events that we held.
207
534800
3320
它們真的是我們
所舉辦的活動中最美麗的。
所舉辦的活動中最美麗的。
09:10
The girl on the left, her name's Colleen.
208
538640
1976
左邊的女孩叫做柯琳（Colleen）。
09:12
Colleen moved to Mexico,
209
540640
2056
柯琳搬到墨西哥，
09:14
moved, for three months,
210
542720
1536
搬過去，三個月，
09:16
to plan five events there,
211
544280
1616
在那裡規劃五個活動，
09:17
only to be kicked out
the day before the events
the day before the events
212
545920
2296
就在活動的前一天被趕出去，
09:20
because of the swine flu.
213
548240
1480
只因為豬流感。
09:22
And then there was this family.
214
550880
2216
還有這個家庭。
09:25
This family, they didn't
get to come to the rescue.
get to come to the rescue.
215
553120
2416
這個家庭，他們沒能出席拯救活動，
他們無法出席，
09:27
They couldn't make it out,
216
555560
1296
但他們為我們訂了一百盒比薩，
09:28
but they ordered
a hundred boxes of pizza for us,
a hundred boxes of pizza for us,
217
556880
2336
09:31
delivered them to the corner
of Michigan and Randolph
of Michigan and Randolph
218
559240
2816
外送到密西根街和蘭道夫街的路口，
09:34
where we were all silently protesting.
219
562080
2056
那是我們沉默抗議的地點。
09:36
You see, it was people like this
doing whatever they could,
doing whatever they could,
220
564160
2776
有像這樣子的人，做自己所能做的，
09:38
simultaneously, single-mindedly,
221
566960
2176
同時一心一意地在做，
09:41
without a care to who was watching,
222
569160
1976
不在乎有誰在看，
09:43
that made this happen.
223
571160
1696
是他們讓這件事能成真。
09:44
It wasn't about us getting on Oprah,
224
572880
1936
重點不是我們找到了歐普拉，
09:46
because when I got down
from their shoulders,
from their shoulders,
225
574840
2136
因為當我從他們的肩膀上下來，
戰爭還沒結束。
09:49
the war hadn't ended.
226
577000
1456
09:50
It was about that bill.
227
578480
1256
重點是那法案。
09:51
Oprah was just a checkpoint
on the way to that bill.
on the way to that bill.
228
579760
2456
歐普拉只是通往那法案
路上的一個檢查站，
路上的一個檢查站，
那法案才是重點。
09:54
That bill was the point.
229
582240
1256
我們打從第一天就盯上了那法案，
09:55
That bill is what we had
our eyes set on from day one.
our eyes set on from day one.
230
583520
2536
09:58
That was going to help us
end Africa's longest-running war.
end Africa's longest-running war.
231
586080
2776
那才能協助我們終止
非洲最長的戰爭。
非洲最長的戰爭。
是它讓全世界十萬人
10:00
And that is what brought
a hundred thousand people
a hundred thousand people
232
588880
2656
10:03
out to the rescue event
from around the world.
from around the world.
233
591560
2160
出來參與拯救活動。
10:07
And it paid off:
234
595120
1200
結果成功了：
10:09
10 days after we were on Oprah,
235
597560
2656
我們上歐普拉節目的十天後，
10:12
the bill was introduced into Congress.
236
600240
1960
法案被引入了國會。
10:14
A year after that, it got unanimously
237
602840
3451
一年之後，它得到國會全體
10:18
267 cosponsors in Congress.
238
606316
3540
267 名成員一致的共同贊助。
10:21
And then one week after that,
239
609903
1389
再過了一星期之後，
歐巴馬總統簽了我們的法案，
讓它成為法律。
讓它成為法律。
10:24
President Obama signed our bill into law.
240
612600
2056
10:26
(Applause)
241
614680
3640
（掌聲）
10:34
And none of us interns got to be there.
242
622920
2136
我們這些實習生都不在那裡。
10:37
We didn't get to be there in this moment.
243
625080
1976
我們沒能參與到這個時刻。
10:39
Our founders were there.
244
627080
1216
我們的創辦人在那裡，
10:40
They're the guys
cheesing in the background.
cheesing in the background.
245
628320
2056
就是在背景偷笑的人。
10:42
But that moment right there
is what made all of it worth it.
is what made all of it worth it.
246
630400
4336
但就是那個時刻，讓一切都值得了。
10:46
It's what a hundred thousand
anonymous extraordinaries
anonymous extraordinaries
247
634760
3336
十萬名不具名的不凡人士
10:50
worked for so hard to make that happen.
248
638120
2600
如此努力才能實現。
上歐普拉節目的那個時刻，
10:54
You know, the Oprah moments,
249
642360
1496
10:55
they prove that the supposedly
impossible can be done.
impossible can be done.
250
643880
3096
證明了不可能的事也能成真。
10:59
They inspire us.
They boost our confidence.
They boost our confidence.
251
647000
2056
它鼓舞了我們，提升了我們的信心。
11:01
But the moment isn't a movement.
252
649080
2296
但，那個時刻並非一個運動。
11:03
Even a lot of those moments
strung together don't fuel a movement.
strung together don't fuel a movement.
253
651400
3296
即使有很多那樣的時刻加在一起，
也無法驅動一個運動。
也無法驅動一個運動。
11:06
What fuels a movement are
the anonymous extraordinaries behind it.
the anonymous extraordinaries behind it.
254
654720
3360
驅動一個運動的，是背後
那些不具名的不凡人士。
那些不具名的不凡人士。
11:10
You know, for me, what kept me
pushing on through the rescue
pushing on through the rescue
255
658960
2856
對我來說，讓我能堅持
這個拯救活動的推力，
這個拯救活動的推力，
11:13
was the thought of those child soldiers.
256
661840
1936
是想到這些童兵。
它變得很個人化；
有次我得以到非洲去，
有次我得以到非洲去，
11:15
It became personal.
I was able to go to Africa at one point.
I was able to go to Africa at one point.
257
663800
2856
我見到了一些了不起的人。
11:18
I met these incredible people.
258
666680
1456
我有些朋友一生都活在這個衝突當中，
11:20
I have friends that have been
living in this conflict their entire life,
living in this conflict their entire life,
259
668160
3376
那對我是很個人化的。
11:23
and it was personal to me.
260
671560
1416
11:25
But that doesn't have to be
what drives you.
what drives you.
261
673000
2080
但那不見得要是你的動因。
11:27
You know, you may want
to be the next Shepard Fairey

It doesn't matter, but whatever you want,
265
682640
2176
那無所謂，但不論你想要的是什麼，
11:36
chase after it
with everything that you have --
with everything that you have --
266
684840
2576
用你所有的一切去追夢——
11:39
not because of the fame or the fortune,
267
687440
1896
不是為了名或利而做，
而單純因為那是你所相信的，
11:41
but solely because
that's what you believe in,
that's what you believe in,
268
689360
2176
因為那是你心之所在。
11:43
because that's what makes your heart sing.
269
691560
2016
那是能讓你爲之起舞的地方。
11:45
That's what your dance is.
270
693600
1240
11:48
That's what is going
to define our generation,
to define our generation,
271
696360
2416
這才能定義我們這個世代，
11:50
when we start chasing and fighting
after the things that we love
after the things that we love
272
698800
3056
我們要開始為我們
所愛的事物打拼，追逐夢想，
所愛的事物打拼，追逐夢想，
11:53
and that we want to fight for.
273
701880
1456
那是我們願意去做的。
11:55
I cared too much in high school
about what people thought about me.
about what people thought about me.
274
703360
3176
在高中時，我太在乎別人怎麼看待我。
那就是為什麼這場 TED 會議很棒，
11:58
That's what so awesome
about this conference,
about this conference,
275
706560
2136
你們好多人都好年輕。
12:00
is so many of you are so young.
276
708720
1536
找到鼓舞你的那樣東西，
你的所愛，然後去追尋它。
你的所愛，然後去追尋它。
12:02
Find that thing that inspires you
that you love, and just chase after it.
that you love, and just chase after it.
277
710280
3476
12:05
You know, fight for that,
278
713770
1206
為它而戰，
12:06
because that is what
is going to change this world
is going to change this world
279
714990
2346
因為就是這樣才能改變世界，
那才是能定義我們的東西。
12:09
and that is what defines us.
280
717360
1576
12:10
Despite what people think,
281
718960
1336
不論人們怎麼想，
12:12
my Oprah moments,
my being on TED, doesn't define me,
my being on TED, doesn't define me,
282
720320
3656
我的歐普拉時刻、來 TED 演說，
都不是定義我的事物，
都不是定義我的事物，
12:16
because if you were
to follow me home to LA,
to follow me home to LA,
283
724000
2096
因為如果你們跟著
我回到洛杉磯的家，
我回到洛杉磯的家，
12:18
you would see me waiting tables
and nannying to pay the bills
and nannying to pay the bills
284
726120
2896
你們會看見我當服務生
和當褓姆來賺錢付帳單，
和當褓姆來賺錢付帳單，
12:21
as I chase after my dream
of becoming a filmmaker.
of becoming a filmmaker.
285
729040
2400
同時我才能追尋當製片人的夢想。
12:24
In the small, anonymous, monotonous
286
732200
3296
在每天渺小、無名、
單調的每一幕中，
12:27
every-single-day acts,
287
735520
1736
12:29
I have to remind myself
to be extraordinary.
to be extraordinary.
288
737280
2720
我得要提醒我自己，要成就不凡。
12:33
And believe me, when the door
is closed and the cameras are off,
is closed and the cameras are off,
289
741160
3296
相信我，當門關上了，攝影機關機了，
12:36
it's tough.
290
744480
1656
現實是很辛苦的。
12:38
But if there's one thing
that I want to drive home to you,
that I want to drive home to you,
291
746160
2736
但有一件事，我想要告訴你們，
12:40
one thing that I can say,
not just to you but to myself,
not just to you but to myself,
292
748920
2656
我不只是對你們說，
也是對我自己說，
也是對我自己說，
12:43
is that it is the acts
that make us extraordinary,
that make us extraordinary,
293
751600
2496
正是這日常的每一幕，
讓我們成就不凡，
讓我們成就不凡，
12:46
not the Oprah moments. Thank you.
294
754120

而非歐普拉時刻。謝謝。
