这个问题无关你热爱或者憎恶枪支；每一天都有上千支枪出售给了未经过背景审查的顾客。如果这上千支枪都消失，显然整个美国都会变得更安全。丹·格罗斯是“布雷迪行动”的领导者，旨在终结枪支暴力。他对一件90%的美国人都渴望的事——对所有枪械交易进行顾客背景审查——提出了激情而动人的呼告。“对于世界上的每一个伟大的运动，你总会在一些时候回想起来，然后说，‘那就是改变开始发生的一刻，’”格罗斯如是说，“对于终结美国枪支暴力的运动，那一刻就是现在。”

好吧，我要承认：
00:14
I've always been weirdly
obsessed with advertising.
obsessed with advertising.

我一直以来对广告有着特殊的喜好。
00:20
I remember watching
Saturday morning cartoons,

我记得在看周六上午的卡通片时，
00:23
paying more attention to the commercials
3
11330
2133
花在广告上的精力比节目本身都多，
我想搞明白广告商
00:25
than to the shows,
4
13487
1307
00:26
trying to figure out how they were trying
to get inside my head.
to get inside my head.
5
14818
3090
是怎么把想法灌输给我的
00:29
Ultimately, that led me to my dream job.
6
17932
2079
结果这让我获得了梦寐以求的工作。
00:32
I became a partner
at a big New York ad agency.
at a big New York ad agency.
7
20035
3278
我成了纽约一家著名广告公司的合伙人。
00:35
But then, all of that suddenly changed
on February 23, 1997,
on February 23, 1997,
8
23337
6189
然而，在1997年2月23日，
一切突然改变了，
一切突然改变了，
00:41
when my little brother Matt
was shot in the head
was shot in the head

在帝国大厦观景台的一起枪击案中，
00:44
in a shooting that happened
on the observation deck

32922

我的弟弟马特头部被子弹击中。
突然，
00:47
of the Empire State Building.
11
35771
2116
00:49
Suddenly, my family was thrown
into the middle of a nightmare,
into the middle of a nightmare,
12
37911
5162
我们全家陷入了黑暗的噩梦之中，
00:55
being told that my brother
was going to die,
was going to die,
13
43097
4130
我们被告知我的弟弟会死亡，
00:59
actually being given the opportunity
to say goodbye to him,
to say goodbye to him,
14
47251
3676
甚至还给我们机会，当面向他道别，
01:02
then several emergency brain surgeries
15
50951
2350
但经过一系列紧急脑部手术之后获救
01:05
and now what's amounted, for Matt,
16
53325
2651
对于马特来说，他余下的一生，
01:08
to a lifetime spent courageously
recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
17
56000
6246
都要与极其痛苦的脑部损伤
进行勇敢的斗争。
进行勇敢的斗争。
01:14
He is definitely my hero.
18
62270
2014
他绝对是我的英雄。
01:17
But as much as (Applause) --
yeah, deserves it --
yeah, deserves it --
19
65101
2342
但是……（掌声）
是的，他值得我们的尊敬。
是的，他值得我们的尊敬。
01:19
(Applause)
20
67467
5106
（掌声）
01:24
But as much as this tragedy
was a nightmare for my family,
was a nightmare for my family,
21
72597
5603
尽管这个悲剧
对我的家庭来说已经很惨痛，
对我的家庭来说已经很惨痛，
01:30
I often think about how much worse
it could have been;
it could have been;
22
78224
2551
我仍常常会想
这种情况有没有可能更糟糕；
这种情况有没有可能更糟糕；
01:32
in fact, how much worse
it is for the 90 families every day
it is for the 90 families every day
23
80799
5059
事实上，对于每天90个
没那么幸运的家庭来说，
没那么幸运的家庭来说，
01:37
who aren't as fortunate,
24
85882
1880
我不知情况会有多糟糕，
01:39
who lose loved ones -- brothers,
sisters, sons, daughters, parents.
sisters, sons, daughters, parents.
25
87786
6208
他们丧失了挚爱的亲人：
兄弟姐妹、儿女、父母。
兄弟姐妹、儿女、父母。
01:46
They don't all make national headlines.
26
94018
2501
并不是每个人都能登上新闻头条
01:48
In fact, most of them don't.
27
96543
1642
或者说，大部分不能。
01:50
They go largely unnoticed,
28
98209
2072
他们大多都不被关注，
01:52
in a nation that's kind of come to accept
a disgraceful national epidemic
a disgraceful national epidemic
29
100305
6599
这个国家大概把
这种可耻的全国性灾难
这种可耻的全国性灾难
01:58
as some kind of new normal.
30
106928
3398
当成某种新常态了。
02:02
So I quit my job in advertising
31
110800
2346
于是我辞去了广告商的工作，
02:05
to try and do something about
this disgraceful national epidemic,
this disgraceful national epidemic,
32
113170
5102
试着对这丢人的现象做点什么
02:10
because I came to realize
33
118296
1197
因为我认识到
02:11
that the challenges
to preventing gun violence
to preventing gun violence
34
119517
3113
杜绝枪械暴力所带来的挑战
02:14
are actually the same ones
that made me love advertising,
that made me love advertising,
35
122654
3665
正如同我所热爱的广告一样
02:18
which is to try to figure out
how to engage people.
how to engage people.
36
126343
2483
都是在找出如何感染他人
02:20
Only instead of doing it to sell products,
37
128850
2603
只是广告卖的是商品
02:23
doing it to save lives.
38
131477
1780
我们是在拯救生命
02:25
And that comes down to
finding common ground,
finding common ground,
39
133726
4923
我要找的是共同点
02:30
where what I want overlaps
with what you want.
with what you want.
40
138673
4009
也就是你我愿望的相交之处
02:34
And you might be surprised to learn,
when it comes to gun violence,
when it comes to gun violence,
41
142706
3206
你可能会讶异，
提及到枪械暴力的话题
提及到枪械暴力的话题
02:37
just how much common ground there is.
42
145936
2047
我们有很多相同的想法
02:40
Let's look, for example,
at people who love to hunt,
at people who love to hunt,
43
148007
2985
举个例子，
对于数百万的美国民众
对于数百万的美国民众
02:43
a sport enjoyed by millions across the US.
44
151016
3182
打猎是个大家喜爱的休闲运动
02:46
It's a proud tradition. Families.
45
154222
2640
这是一个家庭的光荣传统
02:48
In some places,
46
156886
1154
在一些地方，
02:50
the first day of hunting season
is actually a school holiday.
is actually a school holiday.
47
158064
3252
打猎季的第一天
学校甚至会放假
学校甚至会放假
02:53
What do hunters want?
48
161821
1440
猎人们想要什么？
02:55
Well, they want to hunt.
They love their guns.
They love their guns.
49
163285
2348
他们要的是能打猎，
他们喜爱他们的枪
他们喜爱他们的枪
02:57
They believe deeply
50
165657
1200
他们深深相信
02:58
in the Second Amendment right
to own those guns.
to own those guns.
51
166881
2492
第二修正案赋予了
他们持枪的权力
他们持枪的权力
03:01
But that doesn't mean
there isn't common ground.
there isn't common ground.
52
169397
2279
但这并不代表我和他们的想法完全相左
03:03
In fact, there's a lot of it,
53
171700
1428
事实上，我们有很多相同之处
03:05
starting with the basic idea
of keeping guns out of dangerous hands.
of keeping guns out of dangerous hands.
54
173152
5404
从避免枪枝落入危险的人手中
的基本概念讲起
的基本概念讲起
03:10
This isn't about taking
certain guns away from all people.
certain guns away from all people.
55
178580
4814
这并不代表把枪从所有人手上夺走
03:15
It's about keeping all guns
away from certain people,
away from certain people,
56
183418
2876
而只是针对特定的一些人
03:18
and it's the people that, it turns out,
we all agree shouldn't have guns:
we all agree shouldn't have guns:
57
186318
3465
我们对谁不该拥有枪支也有共识
03:21
convicted violent criminals,
domestic abusers,
domestic abusers,
58
189807
2480
暴力分子，家暴者，
03:24
the dangerously mentally ill.
59
192311
2870
严重精神病患者
03:27
We can all appreciate
60
195205
1151
我们感谢
03:28
how Brady background checks
have been incredibly effective

61
196380

布雷迪背景调查法有效地防止
03:31
in keeping guns
out of those dangerous hands.

62
199311

枪支落入特定人的手中
03:33
In 20 years, Brady background checks
at federally licensed firearm dealers

63
201603

20年内，有联邦许可证的枪支经销商
依据布雷迪背景调查法

03:38
have blocked 2.4 million gun sales

03:41
to those people that we all agree
shouldn't have guns.
shouldn't have guns.
65
209823
3165
交易数量高达2400万笔
03:45
(Applause)
66
213463
3923
(掌声）
03:49
And whether you love guns or hate guns,
you probably also appreciate

67
217410
4197
不论你喜不喜欢枪
03:53
that there shouldn't be thousands
of gun sales every day
of gun sales every day
68
221631
3176
可能都不希望在枪展或网上
03:56
at guns shows or online
69
224831
1846
看到每天有数千支枪
03:58
without those Brady background checks,
70
226701
1859
卖给那些未经背景审查的人
04:00
just like there shouldn't be two lines
to get on an airplane --
to get on an airplane --
71
228584
3000
就像搭飞机不该有两条线
04:03
one with security
and one with no security.

72
231608

一条给检查过的人，
另一条不过安检

1151
而...
04:07
(Applause)
74
235431

(掌声)
04:10
And the numbers show the overwhelming
agreement among the American public:

75
238957

美国大众压倒性的赞成:

扩展到任何形式的枪支买卖
04:21
more than 80 percent of gun owners,

这些人包含90%共和党人，

04:23
more than 70 percent of NRA members.

2252
过70%美国全国步枪协会会员
04:25
This is not a controversial idea.
80
253929
1914
这个想法并没有争议
04:27
In fact, only six percent
of the American public disagrees.
of the American public disagrees.
81
255867
3576
只有6%的美国人反对
04:31
That's about the percentage
of the American public
of the American public
82
259467
2365
就大概跟认为登陆月球
04:33
that believes the moon landing was a fake.
83
261856
2189
是假的的人数差不多
04:36
(Laughter)
84
264069
1365
(笑声)
04:37
And it's also about the percentage
that believes the government
that believes the government
85
265458
2972
也跟认为政府在电视讯号
04:40
is putting mind-controlling technology
in our TV broadcast signals.
in our TV broadcast signals.
86
268454
3959
加入洗脑技术的人数差不多
04:44
That's the extent to which we agree
about background checks.
about background checks.
87
272437
2827
这就是我们对背景调查的认同程度
04:47
But what about the 300 million guns
88
275288
3548
那么，
04:50
already out there in homes across America?
89
278860
2396
已经流入市面的3亿支枪怎么办呢？
04:53
Well first, it's important to realize
90
281280
1770
首先，我们必须知道
04:55
that those guns are mostly
in the hands and homes
in the hands and homes
91
283074
4338
那些枪多数都在像咱们这样
04:59
of decent, law-abiding people
like you and me,
like you and me,
92
287436
2940
奉公守法的好公民手中
05:02
who want what we all want --
including keeping our families safe.
including keeping our families safe.
93
290400
4271
我们用枪来保卫家人安全
05:06
In fact, that's why more and more people
are choosing to own guns.
are choosing to own guns.
94
294695
3985
这也是越来越多人选择买枪的原因
05:10
Ten years ago, 42 percent
of the American public
of the American public
95
298704
4335
10 年前，42% 的美国人认为
05:15
believed -- incorrectly -- that a gun
makes your home safer.
makes your home safer.
96
303063
4277
错误地认为有枪等于安全
05:19
Today, that number is 63 percent.
97
307364
3643
现在，这个数字增长到 63%
05:23
Why?
98
311784
1152
为什么？
05:24
I kind of hate to say it,
99
312960
1198
我不怎么想这么说
05:26
because it gets to the dark
underbelly of advertising,
underbelly of advertising,
100
314182
2590
这是因为广告的黑暗效能
05:28
which is if you tell
a big enough lie enough times,
a big enough lie enough times,
101
316796
2428
如果你讲一个谎话，次数多了
05:31
eventually that lie becomes the truth.
102
319248
1841
它最终便成为了事实
05:33
And that's exactly what's happened here.
103
321113
1947
而购买枪支这件事也是这样
05:35
The corporate gun lobby
has spent billions of dollars
has spent billions of dollars
104
323084
2542
军火商花了数十亿美元
05:37
blocking the CDC from doing research
into the public health epidemic
into the public health epidemic
105
325650
3325
阻止疾病管制局进行
05:40
of gun violence;
106
328999
1661
枪枝暴力研究；
05:42
blocking pediatricians
from talking to parents
from talking to parents
107
330684
2160
阻止儿科医师跟家长讲
05:44
about the dangers of guns in the home;
108
332868
1811
有枪在家对小孩的危险性；
05:46
blocking smart-gun technology
and other technology
and other technology
109
334703
2369
阻止发展智能枪支技术，
05:49
that would prevent kids
from firing parents' guns
from firing parents' guns
110
337096
2671
它可以有效地防止小孩使用家长的枪
05:51
and would save lives.
111
339791
1563
从而拯救生命
05:53
They're desperate to hide the truth,
112
341812
2269
他们费尽心思隐瞒事实
05:56
because they view the truth
as a threat to their bottom line.
as a threat to their bottom line.
113
344105
4278
因为事实威胁到了他们的收益底线
06:00
And every day,
114
348407
1161
正是如此，
06:01
people are dying as a result.
115
349592
1595
每天都有人被枪杀
06:03
And a lot of those people are children.
116
351211
2491
他们中多数都是小孩
06:06
Every day in the US,
117
354108
2337
在美国，
06:08
nine kids are just shot unintentionally.
118
356469
3189
每天有9名孩童无辜被杀
06:12
900 children and teens
take their own lives every year.
take their own lives every year.
119
360309
5143
每年有900名小孩或青少年举枪自尽
06:17
And here's the thing:
they're almost all with a parent's gun.
they're almost all with a parent's gun.
120
365476
3750
而且，他们多半用的是家长的枪
06:21
Even two-thirds of school shootings
happen with a gun taken from the home,
happen with a gun taken from the home,
121
369874
6361
甚至三分之二的校园射击案
的凶枪都是家里带来的
的凶枪都是家里带来的
06:28
including the terrible tragedy
122
376259
1685
这包含了桑迪·胡克小学枪击案
06:29
at Sandy Hook.
123
377968
1276
那场悲剧
06:31
I meet so many of these parents;
124
379562
1963
我遇过太多受害者家长
06:33
it's the most heartbreaking
part of my job.
part of my job.
125
381549
2380
这是我工作最令人心碎的部分
06:36
These are not bad people.
126
384379
2534
他们也没杀人放火
06:39
They're just living with the unimaginable
consequences of a very bad decision,
consequences of a very bad decision,
127
387476
5215
只是受到一群坏人的教唆
06:44
made based on very bad information
128
392715
2871
通过错误信息所做出的烂决定
06:47
that was put into their minds
by very bad people,
by very bad people,
129
395610
2888
带来了不可想象的结果
06:50
who know good and well
the misery that they're causing,
the misery that they're causing,
130
398522
3205
那群坏人知道他们造成的悲剧
06:53
but just don't care.
131
401751
2357
但并不在乎
06:56
And the result is a nightmare --
132
404577
2462
而结果就是这场恶梦
06:59
not only for families like mine,
133
407063
2570
不只像我这样的家庭
07:01
but for, really, at the end
of the day, all of us.
of the day, all of us.
134
409657
3369
而是最终，大家都会受到伤害
07:05
But I'm not here to talk
about the nightmare of gun violence.
about the nightmare of gun violence.

都有一刻 ，能让你回首说
07:39
"That's when things
really started to change."

「事情从那一刻开始不同。」

那一刻就是现在
07:50
(Applause)

458308
5661
(掌声)
07:55
We are so clearly at a tipping point,
151
463993
2881
我们站在如此清晰的转折点上，
07:58
because the American public
has come together by the millions
has come together by the millions
152
466898
3111
美国人民前所未有的团结
08:02
like never before,
based on that common ground,
based on that common ground,
153
470033
2214
大家站在相同的立场
08:04
to say, "Enough."
154
472271
1395
说“够了”
08:05
Enough of the mass shootings
in malls and movie theaters
in malls and movie theaters
155
473690
3207
受够了商场或电影院
08:08
and churches and schools.
156
476921
1906
或教堂或学校的大规模枪击事件
08:10
Enough of the daily terror
of gun violence in homes and streets
of gun violence in homes and streets
157
478851
4893
受够了每天在街头巷尾或家中
08:15
that's claimed the lives of women
and young black men
and young black men
158
483768
3207
夺走妇女和黑人少年生命的
08:18
in staggering proportions.
159
486999
1422
频繁爆发的枪支暴力
08:20
Enough of easy access to guns
160
488445
1783
受够了那些不应得到枪的人
08:22
by the people that we all agree
shouldn't have them.
shouldn't have them.
161
490252
2476
那么容易就买到枪
08:24
And enough of a small group
of craven politicians
of craven politicians
162
492752
3035
受够了少数没有担当的政客
08:27
putting the interests
of the corporate gun lobby
of the corporate gun lobby
163
495811
2289
背弃他的选民
08:30
ahead of the people
they have been elected to represent.
they have been elected to represent.
164
498124
2999
而向军火利益靠拢
08:33
Enough.
165
501147
1151
够了
08:34
(Applause)
166
502322
6154
（掌声）
08:40
And the really exciting thing is,
it's not just the usual suspects like me
it's not just the usual suspects like me
167
508500
3904
更令人兴奋的是
不只是像我这样的一部分人
不只是像我这样的一部分人
08:44
that are saying it anymore.
168
512428
1532
如此主张
08:45
It's so much bigger than that.
169
513984
1904
支持的人数超乎想象
08:47
And if you want proof,
170
515912
1151
如果你需要证据
08:49
let's start where most conversations
in the US seem to start --
in the US seem to start --
171
517087
3552
那么我们从最具争议的地方讲起
08:52
with Kim Kardashian.
172
520663
1404
我是说 金 卡戴珊
08:54
(Laughter)
173
522091
1190
（笑声）
08:55
And here's the thing:
it's not really a joke.
it's not really a joke.
174
523305
2119
我不是在开玩笑
08:57
I mean, think about when issues change.
175
525448
1873
我是说， 这个问题改变
08:59
It's when they go from being
political and advocacy issues
political and advocacy issues
176
527345
2769
是基于政治和宣传上的改变
09:02
to being part of pop culture,
177
530138
1406
是多亏于成为流行文化的一部分
09:03
voices coming from everywhere,
celebrities using their platforms,
celebrities using their platforms,
178
531568
3569
从各界发出的声音，
名人们用他们的影响力，
名人们用他们的影响力，
09:07
musicians, athletes.
179
535161
1601
比如音乐家，运动员，
09:08
The NBA has come forward.
180
536786
1256
NBA，都响应支持
09:10
Conservative pundits that you never
would have imagined
would have imagined
181
538066
2654
你永远想不到的保守人士
09:12
have come forward.
182
540744
1151
已经出面
09:13
There's real cultural change --
183
541919
1542
这是文化上的巨大改变，
09:15
I even hear there's a TED Talk
about it this year.
about it this year.
184
543485
2366
我甚至听说今年有个TED演讲以此为题
09:17
That's the extent to which
this cultural change is happening.
this cultural change is happening.
185
545875
4545
这是文化改革正在发生的迹象
09:22
And yes, Kim Kardashian has made
an unsolicited passionate appeal
an unsolicited passionate appeal
186
550444
3928
是的 卡戴珊也在向三千五百万粉丝
09:26
to her 35 million Twitter followers
187
554396
3114
迫切呼吁
09:29
for expanded background checks.
188
557534
2348
购买枪支必须有背景调查。
09:31
Let's look at the political elections
that are heating up.
that are heating up.
189
559906
2915
让我们看看时下正热的大选
09:34
This used to be the classic
third-rail issue for Democrats.
third-rail issue for Democrats.
190
562845
2857
这曾经是民主党人的经典三轨困境
09:37
Couldn't run from it fast enough.
191
565726
1714
大家都恨不得逃之夭夭
09:39
Now candidates are running on it.
192
567464
1683
现在候选人们正在面对它
09:41
Some are being forced
to reverse very bad positions
to reverse very bad positions
193
569171
2967
有些人曾一味地强词夺理
09:44
they defended very comfortably,
until very recently.
until very recently.
194
572162
4222
直到最近才被迫改变
09:48
For somebody like me,
195
576408
1630
有一些像我一样的人
09:50
watching people wave around
their negative NRA ratings --
their negative NRA ratings --
196
578062
5062
看著人们宣扬着他们的负面NRA评级
09:55
it's almost surreal to watch.
197
583148
3219
看上去非常超现实
09:58
We're still outfunded, yes,
by the corporate gun lobby,
by the corporate gun lobby,
198
586391
3723
因为有军火业的支持
他们仍然比我们更有资源
他们仍然比我们更有资源
10:02
and ultimately that needs to change.
199
590138
2369
但最终那需要被改变
10:04
But you know what?
200
592531
1161
但你要知道
10:05
We're smarter and we're scrappier,
and we have the truth on our side.
and we have the truth on our side.
201
593716
4359
我们更聪明 我们更有斗志
我们站在真理这一边
我们站在真理这一边
10:10
And we're on offense.
202
598099
1720
而且，我们处在进攻的位置上
10:11
You know, they say that the Internet
democratizes information.
democratizes information.
203
599843
3410
你知道 他们说网络
可以将信息变得更加民主
可以将信息变得更加民主
10:15
Social media and some
of the organizing tools that plug into it
of the organizing tools that plug into it
204
603277
3738
社交媒体和随其而来的组织
10:19
have democratized activism.
205
607039
1873
让行动变得更加民主化
10:20
It's allowed us to show what 90 percent
support really looks like.
support really looks like.
206
608936
3367
让我们可以展现九成的支持度
10:24
Sometimes I think of it --
207
612327
1247
有时 我在想
10:25
you know, we're converging
and attacking instantly by the millions,
and attacking instantly by the millions,
208
613598
3237
我们会聚集起来
并瞬间以百万的数量来攻击
并瞬间以百万的数量来攻击
10:28
kind of like white blood cells.
209
616859
1603
就像白细胞
10:30
It's enabled us to start to really
close -- and this is the bottom line --
close -- and this is the bottom line --
210
618486
4559
它让我们真正开始团结
10:35
close that disgraceful disconnect
211
623069
2206
从根本上重建
10:37
between what the American public wants
212
625299
2412
美国人民的民意
10:39
and what our elected leaders
are doing about it.
are doing about it.
213
627735
2247
和他们选出的政客之间的断层
10:42
Until recently,
214
630006
1524
直到最近
10:43
the narrative in Congress
was that calls from the other side,
was that calls from the other side,
215
631554
3252
国会的立场一直站在
10:46
from that six percent,
216
634830
1160
百分之六的那边
10:48
outnumbered calls from our side 10 to one.
217
636014
3180
是我们的十分之一
10:51
We're flipping that narrative on its head.
218
639218
2039
我们正在扭转局势
10:53
After that recent terrible tragedy
in San Bernardino,
in San Bernardino,
219
641281
2610
在最近发生在圣贝尔纳蒂诺的可怕悲剧之后
10:55
we jammed Congressional switchboards.
220
643915
1805
我们打爆了国会的电话
10:57
We put 15,000 calls
into Congress in 24 hours.
into Congress in 24 hours.
221
645744
5373
我们在24小时里给国会打了15000个电话
11:03
And you know what?
222
651141
1151
然而你知道吗
11:04
We got a vote on a bill
223
652316
1151
我们通过了一项法案
11:05
that nobody thought was going to see
the light of day anytime soon.
the light of day anytime soon.
224
653491
3214
一项没有任何人看好的法案
11:08
We're seeing real movement
to repeal some of the most evil,
to repeal some of the most evil,
225
656729
2841
我们看到过去十年因为金钱关系
11:11
ugly gun lobby legislation
passed over the last dark decade.
passed over the last dark decade.
226
659594
4639
而通过的那些枪支恶法逐一被取消
11:16
The stranglehold of the gun lobby
is clearly being broken.
is clearly being broken.
227
664257
2907
游说不再像过去那样易如反掌
11:19
We've seen President Obama's
historic executive actions.
historic executive actions.
228
667188
3302
我们看见奥巴马总统历史性的行政命令
11:22
They don't go all the way,
229
670514
1390
或许不很彻底
11:23
but they are going to save lives,
230
671928
1587
但已经足够拯救某些生命
11:25
because they expand
Brady background checks
Brady background checks
231
673539
2047
背景调查法案扩展的部分
11:27
to thousands of gun sales
that didn't have them previously.
that didn't have them previously.
232
675610
3572
将强制落实到数以千计的枪支交易当中
11:31
And we're marching across the country --
we're not just waiting
we're not just waiting
233
679206
3008
我们没有在等待国会有所作为
11:34
for Congress to act; that would almost
be the definition of insanity.
be the definition of insanity.
234
682238
3385
因为那样毫无可能
11:37
We're marching across the country,
235
685647
1645
我们在全国游行
11:39
state by state, marriage-equality style.
236
687316
2599
一个州接着另一个州
跟婚姻平权一样
跟婚姻平权一样
11:41
And you know what? We're winning.
237
689939
1574
你知道吗？我们会赢
11:43
Congress is almost always
the last to wake up and realize
the last to wake up and realize
238
691537
3667
国会总是最后一个意识到
11:47
that it's on the wrong side of history.
239
695228
2189
它们正站在历史的对面
11:49
And when they do, it's always
because the American public shakes them.
because the American public shakes them.
240
697441
3621
它们需要美国民众来推动
11:53
And that's exactly
what we're doing right now,
what we're doing right now,
241
701086
2182
那也正是我们在做的事情
11:55
as we're in this tipping point.
242
703292
1538
因为我们处在这样一个临界点
11:56
You know, recently I was flying
cross-country to give a speech
cross-country to give a speech
243
704854
3949
最近我为了巡迴演讲飞遍全国
12:00
to a large group like this,
although far less intimidating,
although far less intimidating,
244
708827
3432
虽然我的听众没有今天这么吓人
12:04
and the woman sitting next to me
happened to be binge-watching
happened to be binge-watching
245
712283
3741
坐在我旁边的女士正在看
12:08
one of my all-time favorite
TV shows, "Mad Men,"
TV shows, "Mad Men,"
246
716048
4928
我最喜欢的节目《广告狂人》
12:13
a period TV show about advertising
247
721000
2214
一个在20世纪六十年代的
12:15
in the 1960s.
248
723238
1818
关于广告的电视剧
12:17
And as I was trying to think
about how to end my remarks,
about how to end my remarks,
249
725080
3597
当我在想如何结束我的演讲
12:20
I'd glance up at her screen
every now and then,
every now and then,
250
728701
2275
我不时抬头看看她的屏幕
12:23
and it seemed that every time I did,
251
731000
2293
而每当我这么做时
12:25
I'd see somebody smoking
in an office or around children
in an office or around children
252
733317
4325
屏幕里不时有人在办公室
或在孩子面前或孕妇吸烟
或在孩子面前或孕妇吸烟
12:29
or while pregnant or drinking and driving
253
737666
2413
要不然就是酒后驾驶
12:32
or driving without seat belts
or sexually harassing a coworker.
or sexually harassing a coworker.
254
740103
3971
开车不系安全带、办公室性骚扰
12:36
And ultimately it dawned on me:
255
744098
2374
最终，我恍然大悟
12:38
what tremendous inspiration
256
746496
1362
这对我们这些急迫想要改革枪支文化的人
12:39
to those of us who have this dream
to end gun violence.
to end gun violence.
257
747882
3959
是多么大的鼓舞
12:43
I mean, think about how much
the world has changed
the world has changed
258
751865
2571
想想看这个世界在这短短几年里
12:46
in a relatively short period of time,
259
754460
2779
改变了多少
12:49
how all those behaviors that were once
considered commonplace or normal --
considered commonplace or normal --
260
757263
3633
那些大家曾经习以为常
12:52
some even glamorous or sexy --
261
760920
2217
甚至觉得优雅或性感的行为
12:55
have become stigmatized
in just a generation or two,
in just a generation or two,
262
763161
4107
在短短一两代人的时间里
变得不可想像
变得不可想像
12:59
once they became conversations
about our common ground.
about our common ground.
263
767292
4024
只要通过对话，寻找共识
13:03
That is the magnitude of the change
we have the potential to create
we have the potential to create
264
771799
4814
就能把改变枪支暴力文化的可能性
13:08
around gun violence.
265
776637
1635
变为现实
13:10
And that's my dream,
266
778296
1564
这就是我的梦想
13:11
that maybe someday,
267
779884
1468
或许在未来的某一天
13:13
some period TV show will depict
the terrible nightmare of gun violence,
the terrible nightmare of gun violence,
268
781376
5495
某些古装剧会描绘恐怖的枪械文化
13:18
and a future generation of children
might only be able to imagine
might only be able to imagine
269
786895
3374
而我们的下一代只能想像
13:22
how terrible it must have been.
270
790293
1849
那曾经是怎样恐怖的梦魇
13:24

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dan Gross - Gun-control activistAs president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Dan Gross seeks to cut US gun deaths in half by 2025.
Why you should listen
"For too long we've been playing Mister Nice Guy," says Dan Gross, who takes an unapologetic stance against gun violence in the United States. As leader of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, he's fought a fierce battle in favor of background checks and against "bad apple" firearms dealers. Through aggressive media campaigns, he leads the charge to transform the nation's conversation on guns and gun safety.
Gross's activism stems from personal tragedy: in 1997, his brother was permanently disabled in a shooting at the Empire State Building, inspiring Gross to found the Center to Prevent Youth Violence (now known as PAX).
