3000
10分钟何尝够我来讲述，
00:18
about the bonds of women over three generations,
1
3000
3000
关于三代妇女间的纽带，
00:21
about how the astonishing strength of those bonds
2
6000
3000
关于这条纽带的惊人的力量
00:24
took hold in the life
3
9000
2000
把
00:26
of a four-year-old girl
4
11000
2000
4岁小姑娘和
00:28
huddled with her young sister,
5
13000
2000
她的妹妹
00:30
her mother and her grandmother
6
15000
2000
母亲、祖母绑在一起，
00:32
for five days and nights
7
17000
2000
5天5夜
00:34
in a small boat in the China Sea
8
19000
2000
挤在一条小船飘在中国海
00:36
more than 30 years ago,
9
21000
3000
已经过去了30多年，
00:39
bonds that took hold in the life of that small girl
10
24000
2000
一直留在小女孩的脑海中
00:41
and never let go --
11
26000
3000
不曾磨灭--
00:44
that small girl now living in San Francisco
12
29000
2000
那个小女孩现在居住在旧金山
00:46
and speaking to you today?
13
31000
3000
今天正在为你们讲述
00:49
This is not a finished story.
14
34000
3000
一个不断延续的故事
00:52
It is a jigsaw puzzle still being put together.
15
37000
3000
就像一幅正在被拼接的拼图一样
00:55
Let me tell you about some of the pieces.
16
40000
4000
请允许我讲述其中的片段
00:59
Imagine the first piece:
17
44000
2000
回想起来的第一个画面是
01:01
a man burning his life's work.
18
46000
3000
一个男人拼尽全力地工作。
01:04
He is a poet, a playwright,
19
49000
3000
他是一个诗人兼剧作家
01:07
a man whose whole life
20
52000
2000
一生
01:09
had been balanced on the single hope
21
54000
2000
都致力于
01:11
of his country's unity and freedom.
22
56000
3000
国家的统一和自由。
01:14
Imagine him as the communists enter Saigon,
23
59000
3000
想象着他作为一名共产主义者进入胡志明市
01:17
confronting the fact
24
62000
2000
面对着
01:19
that his life had been a complete waste.
25
64000
2000
完全被抛弃的一生
01:21
Words, for so long his friends, now mocked him.
26
66000
3000
面对朋友们的嘲笑
01:24
He retreated into silence.
27
69000
3000
他沉默以对
01:27
He died broken by history.
28
72000
4000
作为历史，他已经死去
01:31
He is my grandfather.
29
76000
2000
他就是我的祖父
01:33
I never knew him in real life.
30
78000
4000
我从来不了解他的真实生活。
01:37
But our lives are much more than our memories.
31
82000
4000
但是我们的生活比记忆更加丰富。
01:41
My grandmother never let me forget his life.
32
86000
3000
祖父让我永记他的一生。
01:44
My duty was not to allow it to have been in vain,
33
89000
3000
而我的职责就是不让他的经历成为徒劳
01:47
and my lesson was to learn
34
92000
2000
我的责任是从中学习
01:49
that, yes, history tried to crush us,
35
94000
3000
是的，历史试图打垮我们
01:52
but we endured.
36
97000
2000
而我们一直忍受着。
01:54
The next piece of the jigsaw
37
99000
2000
下一块拼图是
01:56
is of a boat in the early dawn
38
101000
2000
黎明的早上一叶扁舟
01:58
slipping silently out to sea.
39
103000
3000
悄悄滑向大海
02:01
My mother, Mai, was 18
40
106000
2000
我母亲，Mai，18岁
02:03
when her father died --
41
108000
2000
丧父
02:05
already in an arranged marriage,
42
110000
2000
经历了一系列婚姻，
02:07
already with two small girls.
43
112000
3000
有了两个小女儿。
02:10
For her, life had distilled itself into one task:
44
115000
3000
对于她，生活唯一目的就是
02:13
the escape of her family
45
118000
2000
逃离家庭
02:15
and a new life in Australia.
46
120000
3000
在澳大利亚开始新生活。
02:18
It was inconceivable to her
47
123000
2000
这对她来说，
02:20
that she would not succeed.
48
125000
2000
简直就是天方夜谭。
02:22
So after a four-year saga that defies fiction,
49
127000
3000
因此，4年的蔑视小说的长篇故事
02:25
a boat slipped out to sea
50
130000
2000
一条小船滑向大海，
02:27
disguised as a fishing vessel.
51
132000
3000
远离渔船。
02:30
All the adults knew the risks.
52
135000
3000
大人们知道其中的危险。
02:33
The greatest fear was of pirates,
53
138000
2000
最大的威胁是海盗，
02:35
rape and death.
54
140000
2000
强奸和死亡。
02:37
Like most adults on the boat,
55
142000
2000
和所有成年人一样，
02:39
my mother carried a small bottle of poison.
56
144000
4000
我母亲带了一小瓶毒药。
02:43
If we were captured, first my sister and I,
57
148000
3000
如果我们被抓获，我妹妹、我、
02:46
then she and my grandmother would drink.
58
151000
4000
母亲和祖母依次服毒自尽。
02:50
My first memories are from the boat --
59
155000
2000
我的第一个记忆来自于小船--
02:52
the steady beat of the engine,
60
157000
2000
发动机均匀的节奏
02:54
the bow dipping into each wave,
61
159000
3000
浅浅的波浪
02:57
the vast and empty horizon.
62
162000
3000
一望无尽的海平面
03:00
I don't remember the pirates who came many times,
63
165000
3000
我不记得海盗来了几次，
03:03
but were bluffed by the bravado
64
168000
2000
却被船上男人们的虚张声势
03:05
of the men on our boat,
65
170000
2000
吓跑了，
03:07
or the engine dying
66
172000
2000
引擎熄火，
03:09
and failing to start for six hours.
67
174000
3000
6个小时无法启动。
03:12
But I do remember the lights on the oil rig
68
177000
2000
但是我记得边石油钻井反射的光；
03:14
off the Malaysian coast
69
179000
2000
来自马来西亚海岸
03:16
and the young man who collapsed and died,
70
181000
3000
年轻小伙虚脱而死，
03:19
the journey's end too much for him,
71
184000
3000
旅途早早结束；
03:22
and the first apple I tasted,
72
187000
2000
我尝到的第一个苹果，
03:24
given to me by the men on the rig.
73
189000
3000
来自同船的一个男人。
03:27
No apple has ever tasted the same.
74
192000
3000
再也没有吃到那么美味的苹果。
03:32
After three months in a refugee camp,
75
197000
2000
在难民集中营的三个月后，
03:34
we landed in Melbourne.
76
199000
2000
我们定居在墨尔本。
03:36
And the next piece of the jigsaw
77
201000
2000
下一片拼图是
03:38
is about four women across three generations
78
203000
3000
关于三代妇女
03:41
shaping a new life together.
79
206000
3000
共同创造的新生活。
03:44
We settled in Footscray,
80
209000
2000
定居于Footscray，
03:46
a working-class suburb
81
211000
2000
一个的工薪阶层市郊,
03:48
whose demographic is layers of immigrants.
82
213000
3000
以移民为主.
03:51
Unlike the settled middle-class suburbs,
83
216000
2000
不像定居其他中级阶层市郊，
03:53
whose existence I was oblivious of,
84
218000
2000
我忘记了我的存在，
03:55
there was no sense of entitlement in Footscray.
85
220000
3000
更别说权利了。
03:58
The smells from shop doors were from the rest of the world.
86
223000
3000
商店透出的味道仿佛来自另一个世界。
04:01
And the snippets of halting English
87
226000
2000
说着同样磕磕绊绊的英语，
04:03
were exchanged between people
88
228000
2000
人们相互交流着。
04:05
who had one thing in common,
89
230000
2000
有一件事情是相同的，
04:07
they were starting again.
90
232000
3000
又重新开始了。
04:10
My mother worked on farms,
91
235000
2000
母亲一开始在农村干活，
04:12
then on a car assembly line,
92
237000
2000
后来去了汽车组装线，
04:14
working six days, double shifts.
93
239000
2000
一周工作6天，双班倒。
04:16
Somehow she found time to study English
94
241000
3000
有时她挤时间学习英语，
04:19
and gain IT qualifications.
95
244000
2000
获得了IT资格证。
04:21
We were poor.
96
246000
2000
我们很穷，
04:23
All the dollars were allocated
97
248000
2000
节约每一分钱。
04:25
and extra tuition in English and mathematics
98
250000
2000
剩余的钱都用来缴英语和数学的学费，
04:27
was budgeted for
99
252000
2000
不管再难，
04:29
regardless of what missed out,
100
254000
3000
即使没有
04:32
which was usually new clothes;
101
257000
2000
新衣服穿，
04:34
they were always secondhand.
102
259000
2000
穿二手的。
04:36
Two pairs of stockings for school,
103
261000
3000
上学时穿两双袜子，
04:39
each to hide the holes in the other.
104
264000
2000
一双遮挡另一双上的洞。
04:41
A school uniform down to the ankles,
105
266000
2000
学校的制服盖过了膝盖，
04:43
because it had to last for six years.
106
268000
4000
因为它得坚持6年。
04:47
And there were rare but searing chants
107
272000
2000
虽然很少，但是搜寻圣歌的
04:49
of "slit-eye"
108
274000
2000
边边角角，
04:51
and the occasional graffiti:
109
276000
2000
偶尔的涂鸦说
04:53
"Asian, go home."
110
278000
2000
“亚洲人，回家去吧！”
04:55
Go home to where?
111
280000
2000
回家回到哪儿？
04:57
Something stiffened inside me.
112
282000
3000
一些事情刺痛了我的内心。
05:00
There was a gathering of resolve
113
285000
2000
一股力量在凝聚，
05:02
and a quiet voice saying, "I will bypass you."
114
287000
4000
安静的声音在说：“我要超越你。”
05:06
My mother, my sister and I
115
291000
2000
我、我妹妹和我母亲
05:08
slept in the same bed.
116
293000
3000
睡在同一张床上。
05:11
My mother was exhausted each night,
117
296000
2000
每晚母亲都拖着疲惫的身体回家，
05:13
but we told one another about our day
118
298000
2000
但是我们互相交流一天的事情，
05:15
and listened to the movements
119
300000
2000
听着旁白房间
05:17
of my grandmother around the house.
120
302000
2000
祖母的动静。
05:19
My mother suffered from nightmares
121
304000
2000
我母亲一直梦魇困扰着，
05:21
all about the boat.
122
306000
3000
都是关于小船的。
05:24
And my job was to stay awake until her nightmares came
123
309000
3000
我的工作就是保持清醒，在她做恶梦的时候
05:27
so I could wake her.
124
312000
3000
叫醒她。
05:30
She opened a computer store
125
315000
2000
她开了一家计算机商店，
05:32
then studied to be a beautician
126
317000
2000
学习美容，
05:34
and opened another business.
127
319000
2000
将来开一家美容店。
05:36
And the women came with their stories
128
321000
2000
关于男人的故事，
05:38
about men who could not make the transition,
129
323000
2000
没有过渡，
05:40
angry and inflexible,
130
325000
2000
生气，呆板，
05:42
and troubled children caught between two worlds.
131
327000
3000
问题小孩，就像两个世界。
05:45
Grants and sponsors were sought.
132
330000
3000
寻求资金和资助人，
05:48
Centers were established.
133
333000
2000
建立了中心。
05:50
I lived in parallel worlds.
134
335000
2000
我生活在一个平行的世界。
05:52
In one, I was the classic Asian student,
135
337000
4000
一方面，我是典型的亚洲学生，
05:56
relentless in the demands that I made on myself.
136
341000
3000
自己特别狠；
05:59
In the other, I was enmeshed in lives that were precarious,
137
344000
3000
另一方面，我纠缠于现实的危险，
06:02
tragically scarred by violence,
138
347000
2000
暴力冲突的可悲，
06:04
drug abuse and isolation.
139
349000
3000
毒品泛滥和种族隔离。
06:07
But so many over the years were helped.
140
352000
2000
但是如此多年的帮助，
06:09
And for that work, when I was a final year law student,
141
354000
3000
当我曾为法律系毕业生的时候，
06:12
I was chosen as the young Australian of the year.
142
357000
3000
我被选择作为当年的澳大利亚年轻代表。
06:15
And I was catapulted
143
360000
2000
我直接
06:17
from one piece of the jigsaw to another,
144
362000
2000
从一个片段跳到了另一个，
06:19
and their edges didn't fit.
145
364000
2000
没有漂亮的连接。
06:21
Tan Le, anonymous Footscray resident,
146
366000
2000
Tan Le一名Footscray普通居民，
06:23
was now Tan Le, refugee and social activist,
147
368000
4000
现在是难民，社会积极分子，
06:27
invited to speak in venues she had never heard of
148
372000
3000
被邀请演讲，
06:30
and into homes whose existence
149
375000
2000
去一个从未听说过的
06:32
she could never have imagined.
150
377000
2000
去一个无法想象是否存在的地方。
06:34
I didn't know the protocols.
151
379000
2000
我不知道协议，
06:36
I didn't know how to use the cutlery.
152
381000
3000
不知道如何用刀具，
06:39
I didn't know how to talk about wine.
153
384000
3000
不会谈论葡萄酒，
06:42
I didn't know how to talk about anything.
154
387000
4000
不会讲话。
06:46
I wanted to retreat to the routines and comfort
155
391000
3000
我想要退回到原来，
06:49
of life in an unsung suburb --
156
394000
3000
无名市郊的舒适生活--
06:52
a grandmother, a mother and two daughters
157
397000
3000
祖母、目前和两个女儿
06:55
ending each day as they had for almost 20 years,
158
400000
3000
过着20多年的平淡生活，
06:58
telling one another the story of their day
159
403000
2000
相互谈论着过去的日子，
07:00
and falling asleep,
160
405000
2000
渐渐入睡，
07:02
the three of us still in the same bed.
161
407000
4000
我们三个还在一个床上。
07:06
I told my mother I couldn't do it.
162
411000
4000
我告诉我母亲，我做不到。
07:10
She reminded me that I was now the same age she had been
163
415000
3000
她提醒我，她带我们乘船出国的时候，
07:13
when we boarded the boat.
164
418000
3000
正好是我现在的年龄。
07:16
No had never been an option.
165
421000
3000
没有任何选择。
07:19
"Just do it," she said,
166
424000
2000
“放手去做”，她说
07:21
"and don't be what you're not."
167
426000
3000
“做真正的自己”
07:24
So I spoke out on youth unemployment and education
168
429000
3000
因此我讲到了失业低龄化和教育问题
07:27
and the neglect of the marginalized and the disenfranchised.
169
432000
3000
忽视边缘群体和剥夺政治权利。
07:30
And the more candidly I spoke,
170
435000
2000
我说的越坦率，
07:32
the more I was asked to speak.
171
437000
3000
越是有人邀请我演讲。
07:35
I met people from all walks of life,
172
440000
3000
遇见周围的人们，
07:38
so many of them doing the thing they loved,
173
443000
2000
做着自己喜欢的事情，
07:40
living on the frontiers of possibility.
174
445000
3000
生活的
07:43
And even though I finished my degree,
175
448000
3000
即使我完成了我的学业，
07:46
I realized I could not settle into a career in law.
176
451000
3000
我意识到我不能局限于法律职业。
07:49
There had to be another piece of the jigsaw.
177
454000
3000
这儿还有另一个拼图的片段。
07:52
And I realized at the same time
178
457000
3000
同一时间，我意识到
07:55
that it is okay to be an outsider,
179
460000
2000
作为局外人也可以，
07:57
a recent arrival,
180
462000
2000
最近的事情，
07:59
new on the scene --
181
464000
2000
屏幕上的新闻
08:01
and not just okay,
182
466000
2000
不仅仅是可以，
08:03
but something to be thankful for,
183
468000
2000
一些事情归功于
08:05
perhaps a gift from the boat.
184
470000
3000
来自小船的经历。
08:08
Because being an insider
185
473000
2000
因为作为一个局内人，
08:10
can so easily mean collapsing the horizons,
186
475000
2000
太容易放弃视野，
08:12
can so easily mean
187
477000
2000
太容易
08:14
accepting the presumptions of your province.
188
479000
3000
接收你的假设。
08:17
I have stepped outside my comfort zone enough now
189
482000
3000
我现在得站在舒适区足够远
08:20
to know that, yes, the world does fall apart,
190
485000
2000
是的，世界开始破碎，
08:22
but not in the way that you fear.
191
487000
3000
不是按照你担心的那样。
08:25
Possibilities that would not have been allowed
192
490000
2000
不允许贸然或者
08:27
were outrageously encouraged.
193
492000
2000
鼓励放大可能性。
08:29
There was an energy there,
194
494000
2000
这里有能量，
08:31
an implacable optimism,
195
496000
2000
无情的乐观，
08:33
a strange mixture of humility and daring.
196
498000
3000
混合着人道和胆量。
08:36
So I followed my hunches.
197
501000
2000
跟随我的预感。
08:38
I gathered around me a small team of people
198
503000
3000
我聚集了一个小组
08:41
for whom the label "It can't be done"
199
506000
2000
“不能完成”的标签
08:43
was an irresistible challenge.
200
508000
3000
是我们唯一的挑战。
08:46
For a year we were penniless.
201
511000
2000
整整一年，我们一名不文。
08:48
At the end of each day, I made a huge pot of soup
202
513000
2000
每一天最后，我都做一大锅汤
08:50
which we all shared.
203
515000
2000
大家共享。
08:52
We worked well into each night.
204
517000
3000
每晚都努力工作。
08:55
Most of our ideas were crazy,
205
520000
2000
我们大多数的想法都很疯狂，
08:57
but a few were brilliant,
206
522000
2000
还有少数很明智，
08:59
and we broke through.
207
524000
3000
我们突破着。
09:02
I made the decision to move to the U.S.
208
527000
2000
我觉得搬到美国，
09:04
after only one trip.
209
529000
2000
在一次旅行后。
09:06
My hunches again.
210
531000
2000
我的直觉又一次成功了。
09:08
Three months later I had relocated,
211
533000
2000
我到达3个月后，
09:10
and the adventure has continued.
212
535000
3000
继续冒险。
09:13
Before I close though,
213
538000
2000
在最后让我说说
09:15
let me tell you about my grandmother.
214
540000
3000
我的祖母。
09:18
She grew up at a time
215
543000
2000
她成长的时代
09:20
when Confucianism was the social norm
216
545000
2000
儒教盛行，
09:22
and the local Mandarin was the person who mattered.
217
547000
3000
本地Mandarin最大。
09:25
Life hadn't changed for centuries.
218
550000
3000
几个世纪的生活都不曾改变。
09:28
Her father died soon after she was born.
219
553000
4000
她出生的时候，父亲去世，
09:32
Her mother raised her alone.
220
557000
3000
由母亲独自养大。
09:35
At 17 she became the second wife
221
560000
3000
她17岁嫁给了一个Mandarin，
09:38
of a Mandarin whose mother beat her.
222
563000
3000
做二房，遭到婆婆的打骂。
09:41
With no support from her husband,
223
566000
2000
没有丈夫的支持，
09:43
she caused a sensation by taking him to court
224
568000
3000
带着丈夫去法院起诉自己，
09:46
and prosecuting her own case,
225
571000
2000
从而轰动一时，
09:48
and a far greater sensation when she won.
226
573000
3000
胜诉的她更是名声远扬。
09:51
(Laughter)
227
576000
2000
（笑声）
09:53
(Applause)
228
578000
4000
（鼓掌）
09:57
"It can't be done" was shown to be wrong.
229
582000
4000
“不可能”变成了可能。
10:03
I was taking a shower in a hotel room in Sydney
230
588000
3000
当她在600英里外的墨尔本
10:06
the moment she died
231
591000
2000
逝世时，
10:08
600 miles away in Melbourne.
232
593000
3000
我正在悉尼的宾馆房间洗澡。
10:11
I looked through the shower screen
233
596000
2000
透过玻璃，
10:13
and saw her standing on the other side.
234
598000
3000
我看到她站在对面。
10:16
I knew she had come to say goodbye.
235
601000
2000
我知道她是来说声再见。
10:18
My mother phoned minutes later.
236
603000
3000
我母亲的电话几分钟后来了。
10:21
A few days later,
237
606000
2000
几天后，
10:23
we went to a Buddhist temple in Footscray
238
608000
2000
我们去Footscray的佛寺，
10:25
and sat around her casket.
239
610000
2000
坐在她的棺材旁。
10:27
We told her stories
240
612000
2000
我们讲述着故事，
10:29
and assured her that we were still with her.
241
614000
3000
向她保证我们一直陪着她。
10:32
At midnight the monk came
242
617000
3000
午夜僧人告诉我们，
10:35
and told us he had to close the casket.
243
620000
3000
他必须盖上棺材。
10:38
My mother asked us to feel her hand.
244
623000
3000
我母亲让我们感受祖母的手。
10:41
She asked the monk,
245
626000
2000
她问僧人
10:43
"Why is it that her hand is so warm
246
628000
2000
“为什么祖母的手是温的，
10:45
and the rest of her is so cold?"
247
630000
3000
其他地方那么凉？”
10:48
"Because you have been holding it since this morning," he said.
248
633000
4000
“因为您从早上一直握到现在”，他说
10:52
"You have not let it go."
249
637000
3000
“你从未放手”。
10:57
If there is a sinew in our family,
250
642000
2000
如果说我们家族有动力，
10:59
it runs through the women.
251
644000
2000
那它一定来着于妇女们。
11:01
Given who we were and how life had shaped us,
252
646000
3000
考虑到我们自身和生活的塑造，
11:04
we can now see
253
649000
2000
我们现在可以预见，
11:06
that the men who might have come into our lives
254
651000
2000
一个男人必须挫败我们才能融入我们。
11:08
would have thwarted us.
255
653000
2000
必须挫败我们才行。
11:10
Defeat would have come too easily.
256
655000
3000
失败来的太容易。
11:13
Now I would like to have my own children,
257
658000
2000
现在我想要自己孩子，
11:15
and I wonder about the boat.
258
660000
3000
自己的小船。
11:18
Who could ever wish it on their own?
259
663000
3000
又有谁不愿意呢？
11:21
Yet I am afraid of privilege,
260
666000
2000
然而我害怕特权、
11:23
of ease,
261
668000
2000
安乐
11:25
of entitlement.
262
670000
2000
和权利。
11:27
Can I give them a bow in their lives,
263
672000
2000
给他们生命的桨，
11:29
dipping bravely into each wave,
264
674000
3000
勇敢地划入每个波浪，
11:32
the unperturbed and steady beat of the engine,
265
677000
3000
自然地、稳稳地发动机，
11:35
the vast horizon
266
680000
2000
宽广的视野，
11:37
that guarantees nothing?
267
682000
2000
不用任何担保，我能做到吗？
11:39
I don't know.
268
684000
2000
我不知道。
11:41
But if I could give it
269
686000
2000
但是我可以放任它，
11:43
and still see them safely through,
270
688000
2000
看着他们安全的通过，
11:45
I would.
271
690000
3000
这也是我希望的。
11:48
(Applause)
272
693000
12000
（掌声）
12:00
Trevor Neilson: And also, Tan's mother is here today
273
705000
3000
同时，Tan的目前今天也来到的现场，
12:03
in the fourth or fifth row.
274
708000
3000
就坐于第四、五排。
12:06

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tan Le - EntrepreneurTan Le is the founder & CEO of Emotiv, a bioinformatics company that's working on identifying biomarkers for mental and other neurological conditions using electroencephalography (EEG).
Why you should listen
Tan Le is the co-founder and president of Emotiv. Before this, she headed a firm that worked on a new form of remote control that uses brainwaves to control digital devices and digital media. It's long been a dream to bypass the mechanical (mouse, keyboard, clicker) and have our digital devices respond directly to what we think. Emotiv's EPOC headset uses 16 sensors to listen to activity across the entire brain. Software "learns" what each user's brain activity looks like when one, for instance, imagines a left turn or a jump.
Le herself has an extraordinary story -- a refugee from Vietnam at age 4, she entered college at 16 and has since become a vital young leader in her home country of Australia.
