I think it'll be a relief to some people and a disappointment to others
0
0
3000
我想有些人可以放松了，但有人就要失望了
00:15
that I'm not going to talk about vaginas today.
1
3000
3000
就是今天我不打算说与阴道相关的事情
00:18
I began "The Vagina Monologues" because I was worried about vaginas.
2
6000
5000
我开始写《阴道独白》是因为对与之相关的那些事情感到忧虑
00:23
I'm very worried today about this notion, this world,
3
11000
4000
如今让我感到忧虑的是在这个世界上
00:27
this prevailing kind of force of security.
4
15000
4000
有一种强大的，类似于强制力的“安全”概念
00:31
I see this word, hear this word, feel this word everywhere.
5
19000
4000
我到处都能看到、听到、感觉到这个词语
00:35
Real security, security checks, security watch, security clearance.
6
23000
3000
真正的安全、安全检查、安全监视、安全核查
00:38
Why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure?
7
26000
6000
为什么所有这些对安全的关注让我感到更加的不安全？
00:44
What does anyone mean when they talk about real security?
8
32000
4000
当人们在谈论“真正的安全”时，他们到底想说的是什么？
00:48
And why have we, as Americans particularly,
9
36000
2000
另外，为什么我们作为美国人在这方面尤为突出
00:50
become a nation that strives for security above all else?
10
38000
4000
成为了一个将安全感凌驾一切之上的国家？
00:54
In fact, I think that security is elusive. It's impossible.
11
42000
4000
事实上，我认为安全是抓不住的，是不可能的
00:58
We all die. We all get old. We all get sick. People leave us.
12
46000
4000
我们都会死。我们都会变老。我们都会生病。身边的人会离开我们
01:02
People change us. Nothing is secure.
13
50000
2000
也会令我们改变。没有什么东西是安全的
01:04
And that's actually the good news.
14
52000
3000
而这其实是个好消息
01:07
This is, of course, unless your whole life is about being secure.
15
55000
4000
事实确实如此，当然除非你一生都要致力于寻求安全
01:11
I think that when that is the focus of your life,
16
59000
3000
我想如果那（安全）是你生活的重心
01:14
these are the things that happen.
17
62000
2000
下面这些事情就会发生
01:16
You can't travel very far or venture too far outside a certain circle.
18
64000
5000
你无法去很远的地方，或是做些太出格的事情
01:21
You can't allow too many conflicting ideas into your mind at one time,
19
69000
4000
你无法允许自己脑子里同时有太多冲突的想法
01:25
as they might confuse you or challenge you.
20
73000
3000
因为这些想法可能会让你迷惑或者受到挑战
01:28
You can't open yourself to new experiences, new people,
21
76000
3000
你无法敞开心扉去接纳新的人和事
01:31
new ways of doing things -- they might take you off course.
22
79000
3000
新的做事方式。因为这些可能会让你偏离轨道
01:34
You can't not know who you are, so you cling to hard-matter identity.
23
82000
5000
你无法认清自己到底是谁，所以你把自己与一些实质的身份连在一起
01:39
You become a Christian, Muslim, Jew.
24
87000
2000
你成为了一个基督教徒、伊斯兰教信徒或者是犹太教徒
01:41
You're an Indian, Egyptian, Italian, American.
25
89000
3000
你是印度人、埃及人、意大利人或者美国人
01:44
You're a heterosexual or a homosexual, or you never have sex.
26
92000
3000
你是异性恋，同性恋，或者你从未有过性行为
01:47
Or at least, that's what you say when you identify yourself.
27
95000
3000
或至少，当你向他人介绍自己的时候如此宣称
01:50
You become part of an "us."
28
98000
2000
你成为了某个“我们”之中的一员
01:52
In order to be secure, you defend against "them."
29
100000
3000
为了安全，你对抗“他们”
01:55
You cling to your land because it is your secure place.
30
103000
3000
你一直待在你的地方，因为那是你的安全区
01:58
You must fight anyone who encroaches upon it.
31
106000
2000
你必须和入侵你地盘的人斗争
02:00
You become your nation. You become your religion.
32
108000
2000
你的国家，你的宗教定义了你
02:02
You become whatever it is that will freeze you, numb you
33
110000
3000
那些让你停止不前、让你麻木
02:05
and protect you from doubt or change.
34
113000
3000
让你远离怀疑与改变的东西定义了你
02:08
But all this does, actually, is shut down your mind.
35
116000
4000
但事实上这些东西所做的便是关上你的思想之门
02:12
In reality, it does not really make you safer.
36
120000
3000
现实中，这些并没有真的使你变得更安全
02:15
I was in Sri Lanka, for example, three days after the tsunami,
37
123000
4000
举例来说，在海啸后的三天，我去了斯里兰卡
02:19
and I was standing on the beaches
38
127000
2000
站在了那儿的海滩上
02:21
and it was absolutely clear that, in a matter of five minutes,
39
129000
3000
一切都清晰可见，只消短短五分钟
02:24
a 30-foot wave could rise up
40
132000
2000
便可以涨起近十米高的巨浪
02:26
and desecrate a people, a population and lives.
41
134000
3000
吞噬一个民族，令生灵涂炭
02:29
All this striving for security, in fact,
42
137000
3000
所有这些为安全而做出的努力，事实上
02:32
has made you much more insecure
43
140000
2000
已经让你更加的不安全
02:34
because now you have to watch out all the time.
44
142000
3000
因为现在你必须时刻提防
02:37
There are people not like you -- people who you now call enemies.
45
145000
3000
那些与你不同的人，那些现在被你称作敌人的人
02:40
You have places you cannot go, thoughts you cannot think,
46
148000
3000
有些地方你无法去，有些想法你不能有
02:43
worlds that you can no longer inhabit.
47
151000
2000
有些地方你无法再居住
02:45
And so you spend your days fighting things off, defending your territory
48
153000
4000
于是你整日忙于排斥异类，捍卫领土
02:49
and becoming more entrenched in your fundamental thinking.
49
157000
3000
日益深陷在自己的固有想法中
02:52
Your days become devoted to protecting yourself.
50
160000
3000
你时时刻刻小心保护自己
02:55
This becomes your mission. That is all you do.
51
163000
3000
这成为了你的任务。这就是你所做的一切
02:58
Ideas get shorter. They become sound bytes.
52
166000
3000
（你的）想法变得简短，化成简单的字节
03:01
There are evildoers and saints, criminals and victims.
53
169000
3000
就是这世上只分好人和坏人，罪犯和受害者
03:04
There are those who, if they're not with us, are against us.
54
172000
3000
这世上不是支持我们的人，就是反对我们的人
03:07
It gets easier to hurt people because you do not feel what's inside them.
55
175000
3000
伤害别人开始变得简单，因为你不去了解他们内心的感受
03:10
It gets easier to lock them up, force them to be naked, humiliate them,
56
178000
4000
把他们关起来、逼他们一丝不挂、羞辱他们
03:14
occupy them, invade them and kill them,
57
182000
2000
侵占他们、甚至杀死他们也更加容易了
03:16
because they are only obstacles now to your security.
58
184000
4000
因为他们现在只是你通往安全之路上的障碍
03:20
In six years, I've had the extraordinary privilege through V-Day,
59
188000
4000
六年里，我因V日活动而拥有了一些特殊的机会。V日活动旨在
03:24
a global movement against [violence against] women,
60
192000
1000
全球范围内反对对女性使用暴力
03:25
to travel probably to 60 countries,
61
193000
2000
我因此去过了大概60个国家
03:27
and spend a great deal of time in different portions.
62
195000
5000
花了大量的时间在这些不同的地区
03:32
I've met women and men all over this planet,
63
200000
3000
走遍这个星球，我见过各种各样的男人和女人
03:35
who through various circumstances --
64
203000
2000
这些人有着不同的境况
03:37
war, poverty, racism, multiple forms of violence --
65
205000
4000
经历着战争、贫困、种族主义和各种形式的暴力
03:41
have never known security,
66
209000
2000
他们从不知道何为安全
03:43
or have had their illusion of security forever devastated.
67
211000
4000
或者是他们对安全的幻想已经被永远摧毁了
03:47
I've spent time with women in Afghanistan under the Taliban,
68
215000
3000
我和生活在塔利班控制下的阿富汗妇女呆过一段时间
03:50
who were essentially brutalized and censored.
69
218000
3000
这些妇女遭受着肉体上的折磨和精神上的控制
03:53
I've been in Bosnian refugee camps.
70
221000
2000
我去过波斯尼亚的难民营
03:55
I was with women in Pakistan
71
223000
2000
我在巴基斯坦遇到妇女
03:57
who have had their faces melted off with acid.
72
225000
3000
因为被泼强酸而毁容
04:00
I've been with girls all across America who were date-raped,
73
228000
3000
我在美国各地都遇到过女孩在约会时遭到强奸
04:03
or raped by their best friends when they were drugged one night.
74
231000
3000
或者某天晚上在被下药后被自己最好的朋友强奸
04:06
One of the amazing things that I've discovered in my travels
75
234000
4000
我在旅行当中发现的最令人惊奇的事情之一
04:10
is that there is this emerging species.
76
238000
2000
就是有这么一类人正在崛起
04:12
I loved when he was talking about this other world that's right next to this world.
77
240000
4000
我喜欢听他们谈论现实之外的另一个世界
04:16
I've discovered these people, who, in V-Day world,
78
244000
3000
我在V日的圈子里发现这样的人
04:19
we call Vagina Warriors.
79
247000
2000
我们称之为V勇士
04:21
These particular people, rather than getting AK-47s,
80
249000
4000
这些特殊的人们，他们没有AK-47步枪
04:25
or weapons of mass destruction, or machetes,
81
253000
3000
没有大砍刀或者大规模杀伤性武器
04:28
in the spirit of the warrior, have gone into the center, the heart of pain, of loss.
82
256000
5000
他们带着勇士精神，直入苦痛和失落的核心
04:33
They have grieved it, they have died into it,
83
261000
3000
他们为此经受磨难，甚至牺牲
04:36
and allowed and encouraged poison to turn into medicine.
84
264000
4000
毒酒变为良药在他们这里成为可能，并一直致力于此
04:40
They have used the fuel of their pain to begin to redirect that energy
85
268000
4000
他们将痛苦转化为重新起航的力量
04:44
towards another mission and another trajectory.
86
272000
3000
迎向新的使命或者驶向新的航道
04:47
These warriors now devote themselves and their lives
87
275000
3000
这些勇士们正献身于一项事业
04:50
to making sure what happened to them doesn't happen to anyone else.
88
278000
4000
他们要确保曾经发生在他们身上的不幸不再发生在其他人身上
04:54
There are thousands if not millions of them on the planet.
89
282000
3000
在这个星球上，这样的勇士即使没有上百万也有几千人
04:57
I venture there are many in this room.
90
285000
2000
我做个大胆的猜测，在这间屋子里就有很多
04:59
They have a fierceness and a freedom
91
287000
2000
他们有自由的意志和勇往直前的坚定
05:01
that I believe is the bedrock of a new paradigm.
92
289000
3000
这些在我看来是一种新范例的基石
05:04
They have broken out of the existing frame of victim and perpetrator.
93
292000
5000
他们打破了现有犯罪者和受害人的存在模式
05:09
Their own personal security is not their end goal,
94
297000
3000
他们自身的个体安全不再是他们的终极目标
05:12
and because of that, because, rather than worrying about security,
95
300000
4000
正因如此，正是因为没有为安全忧虑
05:16
because the transformation of suffering is their end goal,
96
304000
3000
正是因为将苦难转化作为他们的终极目标
05:19
I actually believe they are creating real safety
97
307000
3000
我确信他们在营造真正的安全
05:22
and a whole new idea of security.
98
310000
3000
并为安全注入新的涵义
05:25
I want to talk about a few of these people that I've met.
99
313000
3000
我想说说我遇到的一些这样的人
05:28
Tomorrow, I am going to Cairo,
100
316000
2000
明天我要去往开罗
05:30
and I'm so moved that I will be with women in Cairo
101
318000
4000
我很激动将能见到那些开罗妇女
05:34
who are V-Day women, who are opening the first safe house
102
322000
3000
是她们，组织参与V日活动，建立了第一家收容所
05:37
for battered women in the Middle East.
103
325000
2000
收容那些中东地区受虐的妇女们
05:39
That will happen because women in Cairo made a decision to stand up
104
327000
4000
之所以这样是因为开罗的妇女们做了决定，要站起来
05:43
and put themselves on the line,
105
331000
2000
团结一致
05:45
and talk about the degree of violence that is happening in Egypt,
106
333000
3000
告诉人们在埃及暴力的严重程度
05:48
and were willing to be attacked and criticized.
107
336000
4000
同时她们愿意面对攻击和批评
05:52
And through their work over the last years,
108
340000
3000
通过她们过去几年的努力
05:55
this is not only happening that this house is opening,
109
343000
2000
不仅仅是建立了收容所
05:57
but it's being supported by many factions of the society
110
345000
3000
收容所同时也得到了许多社会团体的支持
06:00
who never would have supported it.
111
348000
2000
这些团体以前从未做过类似举动
06:02
Women in Uganda this year,
112
350000
2000
今年，乌干达的妇女
06:04
who put on "The Vagina Monologues" during V-Day,
113
352000
3000
在V日活动时上演《阴道独白》
06:07
actually evoked the wrath of the government.
114
355000
3000
事实上这一举动惹恼了当地政府
06:10
And, I love this story so much.
115
358000
2000
我非常喜欢接下来的故事
06:12
There was a cabinet meeting and a meeting of the presidents
116
360000
3000
政府召开了一次内阁会议和一次首脑会议
06:15
to talk about whether "Vaginas" could come to Uganda.
117
363000
3000
讨论是否能在乌干达上演《阴道独白》
06:18
And in this meeting -- it went on for weeks in the press,
118
366000
3000
媒体也对此进行了长达几周的报道
06:21
two weeks where there was huge discussion.
119
369000
2000
经过两周的激烈讨论
06:23
The government finally made a decision
120
371000
2000
政府最后做出决定
06:25
that "The Vagina Monologues" could not be performed in Uganda.
121
373000
3000
不允许《阴道独白》在乌干达上演
06:28
But the amazing news was that because they had stood up, these women,
122
376000
4000
但是令人惊喜的是，因为这些人为维护妇女权利作出了努力
06:32
and because they had been willing to risk their security,
123
380000
3000
并且甘愿用自已的安全去冒险
06:35
it began a discussion that not only happened in Uganda,
124
383000
3000
这不仅激起乌干达全国上下的讨论
06:38
but all of Africa.
125
386000
2000
更是引起全非洲的广泛讨论
06:40
As a result, this production, which had already sold out,
126
388000
3000
最后，已经卖光的演出票
06:43
every single person in that 800-seat audience, except for 10 people,
127
391000
5000
除了10个人，800位购票的观众
06:48
made a decision to keep the money.
128
396000
3000
都决定不把钱收回
06:51
They raised 10,000 dollars on a production that never occurred.
129
399000
5000
他们因一场没有发生的演出而筹集了一万美元
06:56
There's a young woman named Carrie Rethlefsen in Minnesota.
130
404000
3000
在明尼苏达州有个叫凯瑞•路佛森的女孩
06:59
She's a high school student.
131
407000
2000
她是一个高中生
07:01
She had seen "The Vagina Monologues" and she was really moved. And as a result,
132
409000
4000
在看过《阴道独白》后非常感动，结果
07:05
she wore an "I heart my vagina" button to her high school in Minnesota.
133
413000
5000
她戴着一个印着“我爱我的阴道”的徽章去了她在明尼苏达州的高中
07:10
(Laughter)
134
418000
1000
（笑声）
07:11
She was basically threatened to be expelled from school.
135
419000
5000
学校警告说要把她开除
07:16
They told her she couldn't love her vagina in high school,
136
424000
3000
告诉她不可以在高中时爱她的阴道
07:19
that it was not a legal thing, that it was not a moral thing,
137
427000
3000
这是违法的，是违反道德的
07:22
that it was not a good thing.
138
430000
2000
是不好的
07:24
So she really struggled with this, what to do,
139
432000
2000
这让她很挣扎，到底要如何去做
07:26
because she was a senior and she was doing well in her school
140
434000
3000
由于她是个高年级生，在学校里表现不错
07:29
and she was threatened expulsion. So what she did is she got all her friends together --
141
437000
4000
面对要开除的警告，她的做法是，召集她所有的朋友
07:33
I believe it was 100, 150 students
142
441000
3000
我想有100到150个学生
07:36
all wore "I love my vagina" T-shirts,
143
444000
3000
这些人全都穿上写有“我爱我的阴道”T恤
07:39
and the boys wore "I love her vagina" T-shirts to school.
144
447000
3000
而男生们就穿着“我爱她的阴道”的T恤到学校
07:42
(Laughter)
145
450000
2000
（笑声）
07:44
Now this seems like a fairly, you know, frivolous,
146
452000
3000
现在听起来这一切有些不真实，你们知道的，有些轻率冲动
07:47
but what happened as a result of that, is that that school now
147
455000
5000
但这件事的结果是，现在这所学校
07:52
is forming a sex education class. It's beginning to talk about sex,
148
460000
4000
正要开设关于性教育的课程，开始公开地谈论性
07:56
it's beginning to look at why it would be wrong
149
464000
3000
开始正视这个问题，告诉学生为什么
07:59
for a young high school girl to talk about her vagina publicly
150
467000
3000
对于高中女生来说，公开谈论她的阴道
08:02
or to say that she loved her vagina publicly.
151
470000
3000
或者说爱她的阴道是错的
08:05
I know I've talked about Agnes here before,
152
473000
3000
我知道我以前在这里已经说过关于艾格尼丝的事情了
08:08
but I want to give you an update on Agnes.
153
476000
2000
但现在我要告诉你们一些她的最新消息
08:10
I met Agnes three years ago in the Rift Valley.
154
478000
2000
我三年前在东非大裂谷地区遇见了艾格尼丝
08:12
When she was a young girl, she had been mutilated against her will.
155
480000
6000
当她还是一个小女孩的时候，在违反她意愿的情况下被施行了割礼
08:18
That mutilation of her clitoris
156
486000
2000
阴蒂的割除
08:20
had actually obviously impacted her life
157
488000
2000
显然影响了她的一生
08:22
and changed it in a way that was devastating.
158
490000
3000
在某种程度上来说，毁灭性地改变了她的生活
08:25
She made a decision not to go and get a razor or a glass shard,
159
493000
4000
她做了个决定，与其拿起剃刀或者玻璃碎片来结束自己的生命
08:29
but to devote her life to stopping that happening to other girls.
160
497000
4000
她决定一生致力于阻止同类事情发生在其他女孩身上
08:33
For eight years, she walked through the Rift Valley.
161
501000
3000
八年来，她步行穿越东非裂谷
08:36
She had this amazing box that she carried and it had a
162
504000
2000
她带着一个让人惊异的盒子，盒子里面
08:38
torso of a woman's body in it, a half a torso,
163
506000
3000
一块是女性完整的器官，另一块是被割过的
08:41
and she would teach people, everywhere she went,
164
509000
2000
她走到哪里，就告诉那里的人们
08:43
what a healthy vagina looked like and what a mutilated vagina looked like.
165
511000
3000
一个正常的阴道是什么样的，而被割过的是什么样的
08:46
In the years that she walked, she educated parents, mothers, fathers.
166
514000
4000
在步行的途中，她把信息传递给那些母亲们和父亲们
08:50
She saved 1,500 girls from being cut.
167
518000
3000
让1500个女孩免受刀割
08:53
When V-Day met her, we asked her how we could support her
168
521000
2000
当V日组织接触到她，问她我们能提供什么帮助的时候
08:55
and she said, "Well, if you got me a Jeep,
169
523000
2000
她说：“好吧，如果你们能帮我弄来一台吉普车，
08:57
I could get around a lot faster." So, we bought her a Jeep.
170
525000
3000
我能更快地去到不同地方。”于是我们给她买了辆吉普
09:00
In the year she had the Jeep, she saved 4,500 girls from being cut.
171
528000
5000
在她有了吉普的那一年，她让4500个女孩免于刀割
09:05
So, we said, what else could we do?
172
533000
1000
于是我们问她，还有什么我们能做的吗
09:06
She said, "If you help me get money, I could open a house."
173
534000
3000
她说：“如果你们能帮我筹到钱，我就能开一家收容所
09:09
Three years ago, Agnes opened a safe house in Africa to stop mutilation.
174
537000
7000
三年前，艾格尼丝在非洲开了一家旨在阻止女性割礼的收容所
09:16
When she began her mission eight years ago, she was reviled,
175
544000
4000
八年前当她刚开始她的拯救行动时，遭到了辱骂
09:20
she was detested, she was completely slandered in her community.
176
548000
4000
被人们仇视，在她的社区中被骂的体无完肤
09:24
I am proud to tell you that six months ago,
177
552000
3000
我非常骄傲的告诉你们，就在六个月前
09:27
she was elected the deputy mayor of Narok.
178
555000
3000
她当选为那罗克市的副市长
09:30
(Applause)
179
558000
7000
（掌声）
09:37
I think what I'm trying to say here
180
565000
2000
我想我在这里要说的就是
09:39
is that if your end goal is security,
181
567000
4000
如果你的终极目标是安全
09:43
and if that's all you're focusing on, what ends up happening
182
571000
3000
而你只关注安全本身，那结果就是
09:46
is that you create not only more insecurity in other people,
183
574000
3000
你不只让其他的人感到更加的不安全
09:49
but you make yourself far more insecure.
184
577000
3000
也让你自己愈发没有安全感
09:52
Real security is contemplating death, not pretending it doesn't exist.
185
580000
5000
真正的安全状态不是对死亡视而不见，而是对它进行思考
09:57
Not running from loss, but entering grief, surrendering to sorrow.
186
585000
5000
不是对失去的东西视而不见，而是直面伤悲
10:02
Real security is not knowing something, when you don't know it.
187
590000
4000
真正的安全不是对自己不了解的事物妄下评判
10:06
Real security is hungering for connection rather than power.
188
594000
4000
真正的安全是渴望密切的联系而非追逐权力
10:10
It cannot be bought or arranged or made with bombs.
189
598000
3000
真正的安全无法购买，也无法安排，更无法用炸弹确保
10:13
It is deeper, it is a process, it is acute awareness
190
601000
4000
它是更深层的，一种过程，一种强烈的意识
10:17
that we are all utterly inter-bended,
191
605000
2000
这种意识就是我们全都是紧密相连的
10:19
and one action by one being in one tiny town
192
607000
3000
一个小镇上的某个人的小举动
10:22
has consequences everywhere.
193
610000
3000
会对世界各地造成影响
10:25
Real security is not only being able
194
613000
2000
真正的安全不只是能够
10:27
to tolerate mystery, complexity, ambiguity, but hungering for them
195
615000
4000
包容离奇复杂和模棱两可的事物，还要渴望它们
10:31
and only trusting a situation when they are present.
196
619000
3000
相信一个充满绝对和清晰的状态是不存在的
10:34
Something happened when I began traveling in V-Day, eight years ago. I got lost.
197
622000
6000
八年前在我刚开始V日旅行的时候，发生了一件事。我迷失了
10:40
I remember being on a plane going from Kenya to South Africa,
198
628000
5000
我记得我当时正在从肯尼亚去往南非的飞机上
10:45
and I had no idea where I was.
199
633000
1000
但我却完全不知道自己身在哪里
10:46
I didn't know where I was going, where I'd come from,
200
634000
3000
我不记得自己要去哪，从哪来
10:49
and I panicked. I had a total anxiety attack.
201
637000
3000
我当时吓着了，陷入了一种焦虑发作的状态
10:52
And then I suddenly realized that it absolutely didn't matter
202
640000
3000
然后我突然意识到从哪来，到哪去
10:55
where I was going, or where I had come from
203
643000
2000
这些其实完全不重要
10:57
because we are all essentially permanently displaced people.
204
645000
5000
因为我们所有人在本质上都是永远移动的
11:02
All of us are refugees.
205
650000
2000
我们全都是流浪之人
11:04
We come from somewhere and we are hopefully traveling all the time,
206
652000
3000
我们来自某个地方，然后带着希望一直旅行
11:07
moving towards a new place.
207
655000
2000
向着一个新地方前行
11:09
Freedom means I may not be identified as any one group,
208
657000
4000
自由意味着我可以不属于任一个团体
11:13
but that I can visit and find myself in every group.
209
661000
4000
但是我又可以在每个团体中来去和找到自己的位置
11:17
It does not mean that I don't have values or beliefs,
210
665000
3000
自由不意味着我没有价值观或者信仰
11:20
but it does mean I am not hardened around them.
211
668000
2000
但意味着我不执拗于它们
11:22
I do not use them as weapons.
212
670000
3000
我不把价值观和信仰用做武器
11:25
In the shared future, it will be just that, shared.
213
673000
5000
在共享的未来中，这些都将只是共享
11:30
The end goal will [be] becoming vulnerable,
214
678000
2000
最终的目标是大家互相都没有防备
11:32
realizing the place of our connection to one another,
215
680000
3000
意识到我们自己的地方与他人的紧密相连
11:35
rather than becoming secure, in control and alone.
216
683000
5000
而不是仅仅让自己感到安全，掌控一切却孤独无依
11:40
Thank you very much.
217
688000
2000
非常感谢你们
11:42
(Applause)
218
690000
3000
（掌声）
11:45
Chris Anderson: And how are you doing? Are you exhausted?
219
693000
5000
你怎么样？有没有觉得累坏了？
11:50
On a typical day, do you wake up with hope or gloom?
220
698000
4000
通常早上，你起来的时候是满怀希望的还是充满阴郁的？
11:54
Eve Ensler: You know, I think Carl Jung once said
221
702000
2000
你们知道，心理学家荣格曾经说过
11:56
that in order to survive the twentieth century,
222
704000
3000
为了在20世纪生存
11:59
we have to live with two existing thoughts, opposite thoughts, at the same time.
223
707000
4000
我们不得不同时活在两个相反的想法中
12:03
And I think part of what I'm learning in this process
224
711000
4000
我想我在这个过程中学到的是
12:07
is that one must allow oneself to feel grief.
225
715000
4000
一个人必须允许自己感到悲伤
12:11
And I think as long as I keep grieving, and weeping,
226
719000
3000
只要我能够悲伤哭泣
12:14
and then moving on, I'm fine.
227
722000
2000
然后继续前进，那样我就过得很好
12:16
When I start to pretend that what I'm seeing isn't impacting me,
228
724000
4000
如果我开始假装看到的东西对我并没有造成影响
12:20
and isn't changing my heart, then I get in trouble.
229
728000
4000
假装对那些东西没有感觉，那时我就有麻烦了
12:24
Because when you spend a lot of time going from place to place,
230
732000
4000
因为当你花大量的时间从一个地方去到另一个地方
12:28
country to country, and city to city,
231
736000
2000
从国家到国家，从城市到城市
12:30
the degree to which women, for example, are violated,
232
738000
3000
认识到妇女遭到侵犯的严重程度
12:33
and the epidemic of it, and the kind of ordinariness of it,
233
741000
4000
涉及地区之广，存在之普遍
12:37
is so devastating to one's soul that you have to take the time,
234
745000
5000
会让一个人的灵魂受到严重的冲击，需要一段时间才能平复
12:42
or I have to take the time now, to process that.
235
750000
3000
至少对于我来说，必须经过一段时间才能平复
12:45
CA: There are a lot of causes out there in the world that have been talked about,
236
753000
4000
在这个世界上，有许多事业被人们所提及
12:49
you know, poverty, sickness and so on. You spent eight years on this one.
237
757000
5000
诸如解决贫穷、疾病问题等等，而你花了八年时间在这个上面
12:54
Why this one?
238
762000
2000
为什么是这个呢？
12:56
EE: I think that if you think about women,
239
764000
2000
我认为，提起妇女我们就会想到
12:58
women are the primary resource of the planet. They give birth,
240
766000
5000
妇女孕育着这个星球上的生命，是她们把孩子生出来
13:03
we come from them, they are mothers, they are visionaries,
241
771000
3000
我们的生命由她们赐予，她们是母亲，她们是前瞻者
13:06
they are the future. If you think that the U.N. now says
242
774000
3000
她们是未来。如果你思考一下联合国现今所说的
13:09
that one out of three women on the planet
243
777000
2000
世界上三分之一的妇女
13:11
will be raped or beaten in their lifetime,
244
779000
3000
将会遭遇强奸或者殴打
13:14
we're talking about the desecration of the primary resource of the planet,
245
782000
4000
我们讨论的是这个星球上的生命之源的正在遭受亵渎
13:18
we're talking about the place where we come from, we're talking about parenting.
246
786000
3000
我们讨论的是生命的源起，讨论的是生命的哺育
13:21
Imagine that you've been raped and you're bringing up a boy child.
247
789000
2000
想象一下，如果你曾遭受强奸，并为此抚养了一个男孩
13:23
How does it impact your ability to work, or envision a future,
248
791000
4000
这将怎样影响你的工作能力，或者对未来的展望
13:27
or thrive, as opposed to just survive? What I believe is
249
795000
4000
是不断成长还是艰难维生？我相信
13:31
if we could figure out how to make women safe and honor women,
250
799000
4000
如果我们能够想办法让妇女们更加安全，让她们得到尊重
13:35
it would be parallel or equal to honoring life itself.
251
803000
5000
这就是尊重生命本身。
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eve Ensler - Playwright, activistEve Ensler created the ground-breaking "Vagina Monologues," whose success propelled her to found V-Day -- a movement to end violence against women and girls everywhere.
Why you should listen
Inspired by intimate conversations with friends, Eve Ensler wrote The Vagina Monologues. The play recounts tender, funny, gripping and horrifying stories she gathered from hundreds of women about their bodies, their sexual experiences, and yes, their vaginas. Since its first staging in 1996, it has been translated into more than 45 languages, performed in more than 120 countries and re-created as an HBO film.
The Vagina Monologues' success allowed Ensler to create V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls, which has so far raised $85 million to prevent violence and protect abused women. In February 2011, Ensler received the Isabelle Stephenson Tony Award for her philanthropic work. Ensler has also drawn praise for The Good Body, a play that cuts to women's obsession with their appearance, and her film What I Want My Words to Do to You, which portrays a writing group she leads at a correctional facility for women. Today, she continues to find new projects and push the envelope. Her latest play, I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World, hit the New York Times bestseller list and just wrapped a workshop production in Johannesburg -- nest stop is Paris and then Berkeley in June 2012.
