Some of you have heard the story before,
0
0
2000
你们中有些人已经听说过这个故事，
00:17
but, in fact, there's somebody in the audience
1
2000
2000
不过在座的有些听众也确实
00:19
who's never heard this story -- in front of an audience -- before,
2
4000
2000
未曾听过。以前从未现场面对着观众讲这个故事，
00:21
so I'm a little more nervous than I normally am telling this story.
3
6000
4000
所以比起平常我多少有点紧张。
00:26
I used to be a photographer for many years.
4
11000
2000
我曾是个摄影师很多年
00:28
In 1978, I was working for Time magazine,
5
13000
3000
1978年那会儿，我正为《时代》周刊工作
00:31
and I was given a three-day assignment
6
16000
2000
当时我被分配到一个为时三天的任务--
00:33
to photograph Amerasian children,
7
18000
2000
拍摄美亚混血儿
00:35
children who had been fathered by American GIs
8
20000
2000
这些孩子的父亲是美国兵
00:37
all over Southeast Asia, and then abandoned --
9
22000
3000
战争结束后就被抛弃，东南亚到处都是，
00:40
40,000 children all over Asia.
10
25000
2000
整个亚洲大约有40000个这样的孩子。
00:42
I had never heard the word Amerasian before.
11
27000
2000
当时我从未听说过美亚儿这样的说法，
00:44
I spent a few days photographing children in different countries,
12
29000
4000
于是我花了几天的时间在不同的国家拍了些这样孩子的照片。
00:48
and like a lot of photographers and a lot of journalists,
13
33000
3000
和许多摄影师记者一样，
00:51
I always hope that when my pictures were published,
14
36000
2000
我总是期盼当自己的摄影作品被发表时，
00:53
they might actually have an effect on a situation,
15
38000
2000
可以确实对社会现状多少带来影响，
00:55
instead of just documenting it.
16
40000
2000
而不仅仅只是记录而已。
00:57
So, I was so disturbed by what I saw,
17
42000
5000
在那几天的拍摄过程中，我被所见所闻深深触动，
01:02
and I was so unhappy with the article that ran afterwards,
18
47000
4000
而一些相关的报道令我很不满意。
01:06
that I decided I would take six months off.
19
51000
2000
于是我决定休假六个月，
01:08
I was 28 years old.
20
53000
2000
当时我28岁，
01:10
I decided I would find six children in different countries,
21
55000
3000
我决定要找到不同国家的6个小孩作为摄影题材，
01:13
and actually go spend some time with the kids,
22
58000
2000
并且真正花时间和这些孩子相处，
01:15
and try to tell their story a little bit better
23
60000
2000
希望能比先前为《时代》写的报道
01:17
than I thought I had done for Time magazine.
24
62000
3000
更好的讲述这些孩子的故事。
01:20
In the course of doing the story,
25
65000
3000
做这个摄影题材的时候，
01:23
I was looking for children who hadn't been photographed before,
26
68000
5000
我一直在寻找一些从未被拍摄过的孩子。
01:28
and the Pearl Buck Foundation told me
27
73000
3000
这时候赛珍珠基金会告诉我
01:31
that they worked with a lot of Americans who were
28
76000
2000
参与他们组织的不少美国人
01:33
donating money to help some of these kids.
29
78000
3000
都在捐款帮助这些孩子。
01:36
And a man told me, who ran the Pearl Buck Foundation in Korea,
30
81000
4000
有一位赛珍珠基金会韩国分会的负责人告诉我，
01:40
that there was a young girl, who was 11 years old, being raised by her grandmother.
31
85000
3000
有这么一个11岁的小女孩，由她的祖母抚养，
01:43
And the grandmother had never let any Westerners ever see her.
32
88000
3000
可是她祖母从不让任何西方人见她
01:46
Every time any Westerners came to the village, she hid the girl.
33
91000
3000
每每有西方人来到村子，她就把外孙女藏起来。
01:49
And of course, I was immediately intrigued.
34
94000
2000
这立刻勾起我强烈的好奇，
01:51
I saw photographs of her, and I thought I wanted to go.
35
96000
3000
我看过小女孩的照片后，马上决定去拍摄她。
01:54
And the guy just told me, "There's no way. This grandmother won't even -- you know,
36
99000
3000
负责人觉得，根本不可能，那位祖母甚至都不会让你--你知道，
01:57
there's no way she's ever going to let you meet this girl that's she's raising."
37
102000
2000
她甚至都不会让你见到这个她一手养大的外孙女。
01:59
I took a translator with me, and went to this village,
38
104000
3000
无论如何，我还是带上一个翻译，向着村庄出发了。
02:02
found the grandmother, sat down with her.
39
107000
2000
随后找到了那位祖母，坐下与她商谈。
02:04
And to my astonishment, she agreed to let me
40
109000
2000
出乎意料的是，她竟然同意了，
02:06
photograph her granddaughter.
41
111000
2000
愿意让我拍摄她的外孙女。
02:08
And I was paying for this myself, so I asked the translator
42
113000
3000
因为这次拍摄我全程自掏腰包，所以我让翻译替我询问
02:11
if it would be OK if I stayed for the week.
43
116000
2000
是否可以让我整个礼拜都呆在这里。
02:13
I had a sleeping bag.
44
118000
2000
因为我自己带了个睡袋，
02:15
The family had a small shed on the side of the house,
45
120000
3000
小女孩家正巧有个避雨棚，
02:18
so I said, "Could I sleep in my sleeping bag in the evenings?"
46
123000
3000
于是我征询她们晚上我可不可以就用睡袋睡在那里。
02:21
And I just told the little girl, whose name was Hyun-Sook Lee,
47
126000
5000
得到同意后，我告诉小女孩(她的名字叫李贤淑)
02:26
that if I ever did anything to embarrass her --
48
131000
2000
如果我拍照的时候让她别扭不自在了--
02:28
she didn't speak a word of English, although she looked very American --
49
133000
2000
(尽管她长相很欧美，可事实上她一句英文都不会）
02:30
she could just put up her hand and say, "Stop,"
50
135000
2000
--她只需要举起手说，"停!"
02:32
and I would stop taking pictures.
51
137000
2000
我就会马上停止任何拍摄。
02:34
And then, my translator left.
52
139000
1000
随后我便让翻译离开了。
02:35
So there I was, I couldn't speak a word of Korean,
53
140000
2000
就这样我留在了那儿，半句韩文都不会。
02:37
and this is the first night I met Hyun-Sook.
54
142000
2000
这张照片是第一天见到贤淑那天晚上拍的，
02:39
Her mother was still alive.
55
144000
2000
她母亲虽然在世，
02:41
Her mother was not raising her, her grandmother was raising her.
56
146000
2000
可却把她留给祖母抚养。
02:43
And what struck me immediately was
57
148000
3000
瞬间深深触动我的
02:46
how in love the two of these people were.
58
151000
4000
便是祖孙俩那样依恋着彼此。
02:50
The grandmother was incredibly fond, deeply in love with this little girl.
59
155000
3000
祖母对孙女深厚的爱溢于言表。
02:53
They slept on the floor at night.
60
158000
2000
这是她们晚上依偎着睡在地板上。
02:55
The way they heat their homes in Korea is to put bricks under the floors,
61
160000
3000
她们韩国人给屋子取暖的方式，就是塞烧热的砖块到地板下面，
02:58
so the heat actually radiates from underneath the floor.
62
163000
2000
这样散发的热度可以渐渐传到地板上来。
03:00
Hyun-Sook was 11 years old.
63
165000
2000
贤淑当时11岁
03:02
I had photographed, as I said, a lot of these kids.
64
167000
2000
正如我所说，我已经拍摄过许多这样的孩子，
03:04
Hyun-Sook was in fact the fifth child that I found to photograph.
65
169000
4000
贤淑实际上是第五个。
03:08
And almost universally, amongst all the kids,
66
173000
2000
几乎很普遍的，这些孩子
03:10
they were really psychologically damaged by
67
175000
3000
在心灵上受到的创伤也是不可估量的
03:13
having been made fun of, ridiculed, picked on and been rejected.
68
178000
4000
被嘲笑，被捉弄，被排挤...
03:17
And Korea was probably the place I found
69
182000
2000
而且韩国似乎是我所见过
03:19
to be the worst for these kids.
70
184000
2000
这种现象最严重的地方。
03:21
And what struck me immediately in meeting Hyun-Sook
71
186000
3000
可是让我惊叹是，在见到贤淑后，
03:24
was how confident she appeared to be,
72
189000
2000
她所表现出的那种自信坚强，
03:26
how happy she seemed to be in her own skin.
73
191000
2000
对于自己明显不同于别人的长相，贤淑显得那样的自在。
03:28
And remember this picture,
74
193000
1000
请仔细看这张照片，
03:29
because I'm going to show you another picture later,
75
194000
2000
因为待会儿我会给你们比较另外一张的。
03:31
but you can see how much she looks like her grandmother,
76
196000
2000
你们看她长得多像她外婆啊，
03:33
although she looks so Western.
77
198000
2000
虽然她显然有西方血统。
03:35
I decided to follow her to school.
78
200000
1000
我决定跟她到学校去继续拍摄，
03:36
This is the first morning I stayed with her.
79
201000
2000
这是我和她一起呆着的第一个清晨。
03:38
This is on the way to school.
80
203000
2000
这张是去学校的路上。
03:40
This is the morning assembly outside her school.
81
205000
4000
这张是她参加学校晨会。
03:47
And I noticed that she was clowning around.
82
212000
3000
我很快注意到她是个小捣蛋，大家的开心果。
03:50
When the teachers would ask questions,
83
215000
2000
可是当老师提问时，
03:52
she'd be the first person to raise her hand.
84
217000
2000
她又是第一个举手发言的，
03:54
Again, not at all shy or withdrawn,
85
219000
2000
毫无害羞畏怯之色，
03:56
or anything like the other children that I'd photographed.
86
221000
3000
和我曾拍过的其他这样的孩子完全不同。
03:59
Again, the first one to go to the blackboard to answer questions.
87
224000
2000
瞧，她又是第一个上黑板答题的。
04:01
Getting in trouble for whispering into her best friend's ears
88
226000
2000
和好友咬耳朵时被老师拎起来
04:03
in the middle of class.
89
228000
2000
当着全班罚站。
04:05
And one of the other things that I said to her through the translator --
90
230000
2000
另一件事我嘱咐翻译让她记住的
04:07
again, this thing about saying stop -- was to not pay attention to me.
91
232000
6000
除了可以随时喊停，就是最好完全忽略我的存在。
04:13
And so, she really just completely ignored me most of the time.
92
238000
2000
所以大多数时间她真的可以完全忽视我。
04:15
I noticed that at recess, she was the girl
93
240000
3000
我注意到，课间休息的时候，她是那个
04:18
who picked the other girls to be on her team.
94
243000
3000
有权决定谁该和她同队的人。
04:21
It was very obvious, from the very beginning, that she was a leader.
95
246000
2000
很显然，从很小的时候，她就是个领袖。
04:23
This is on the way home.
96
248000
1000
这张是在回家的路上。
04:24
And that's North Korea up along the hill.
97
249000
2000
山那边是北朝鲜。
04:26
This is up along the DMZ.
98
251000
2000
这边上去是非军事区。
04:28
They would actually cover the windows every night, so that light couldn't be seen,
99
253000
3000
住在这儿的人每天晚上会把窗户遮起来，不让外面看到家里的灯光
04:31
because the South Korean government has said for years
100
256000
3000
因为南韩政府常年一直宣传
04:34
that the North Koreans may invade at any time.
101
259000
2000
说北朝鲜随时都可能入侵。
04:36
So there's always this -- the closer you were to North Korea, the more terrifying it was.
102
261000
4000
所以一直是这样，住的越接近北朝鲜就越让人害怕。
04:40
Very often at school, I'd be taking pictures,
103
265000
2000
在学校的时候，我常常明明拍的好好的，
04:42
and she would whisper into her girlfriends' ears,
104
267000
3000
贤淑会和朋友先耳语一阵，
04:45
and then look at me and say, "Stop."
105
270000
2000
然后就看着我说，"停！"
04:47
And I would stand at attention, and all the girls would crack up,
106
272000
2000
我会立刻停住露出疑问，然后一群女孩子全笑成一团，
04:49
and it was sort of a little joke.
107
274000
2000
原来是她耍我呢
04:51
(Laughter)
108
276000
1000
(笑声)
04:53
The end of the week came and my translator came back,
109
278000
1000
一星期结束的时候翻译又来了，
04:54
because I'd asked her to come back,
110
279000
2000
我让翻译再过来是因为
04:56
so I could formally thank the grandmother and Hyun-Sook.
111
281000
4000
我想正式向祖母和贤淑道谢。
05:00
And in the course of the grandmother talking to the translator,
112
285000
2000
在那位祖母和翻译交谈的当儿，
05:02
the grandmother started crying.
113
287000
2000
祖母忽然抽噎起来。
05:04
And I said to my translator, "What's going on, why is she crying?"
114
289000
3000
我连忙问翻译，到底怎么了，发生了什么事？
05:07
And she spoke to the grandmother for a moment,
115
292000
2000
她又去和祖母说了几句话，
05:09
and then she started getting tears in her eyes.
116
294000
2000
不过一会儿她也难过地噙着泪，
05:11
And I said, "OK, what did I do? What's going on?
117
296000
2000
我很着急，问是不是我做了什么，到底发生了什么事?
05:13
Why is everyone crying?"
118
298000
2000
为什么大家都哭了呢？
05:15
And the translator said, "The grandmother says
119
300000
2000
这时候翻译告诉我，那位祖母说
05:17
that she thinks she's dying,
120
302000
2000
她觉得自己快死了
05:19
and she wants to know if you would take Hyun-Sook to America with you."
121
304000
4000
她想问你愿不愿意带贤淑一起回美国去。
05:23
And I said, "I'm 28 years old, and I live in hotels,
122
308000
5000
我也觉得很突然，我说我28岁，没有房子住的是旅馆
05:28
and I'm not married."
123
313000
2000
而且我还没有结婚。
05:30
I mean I had fallen in love with this girl,
124
315000
3000
我是很爱这个小女孩，
05:33
but I -- you know, it was, like, emotionally I was about 12 years old.
125
318000
3000
但是，你知道，情感上我自己是个12岁的孩子。
05:36
If you know of photographers, the joke is
126
321000
2000
如果你够了解摄影师，关于他们有个玩笑
05:38
it's the finest form of delayed adolescence ever invented.
127
323000
3000
摄影是世界上能把青春期拉长的最好的存在形式
05:41
"Sorry, I have to go on an assignment, I'll be back" --
128
326000
2000
比如他们总会说：“我得走了，我还另外有个拍摄任务，但我一定会回来！”
05:43
and then you never come back.
129
328000
2000
然后他们根本不会回去。
05:45
So, I asked the translator why she thought she was dying.
130
330000
6000
言归正传，我问翻译为什么那位祖母觉得她快不行了？
05:51
Can I get her to a hospital? Could I pay to get her a doctor?
131
336000
2000
我说我愿意自己出钱送她去医院，帮她请个大夫什么的。
05:53
And she refused any help at all.
132
338000
2000
但是老人拒绝任何医疗帮助。
05:55
And so, when I got outside,
133
340000
2000
当我走出门口，
05:57
I actually gave the translator some money and said,
134
342000
2000
我给了翻译一些钱，说：
05:59
"Please go back and see if you can do something."
135
344000
2000
“麻烦你回去再看看能不能做点什么。”
06:01
And I gave the grandmother my business card.
136
346000
2000
我还给了老人我的名片，
06:03
And I said, "If you're serious, I will try to find a family for her."
137
348000
3000
告诉她：“如果你是认真的，我可以帮贤淑找个愿意领养她的家庭。”
06:06
And I immediately wrote a letter to my best friends
138
351000
2000
随后，我立即给我最好的朋友写了一封信，
06:08
in Atlanta, Georgia, who had an 11-year-old son.
139
353000
3000
他住在亚特兰大，佐治亚州，有个11岁的儿子。
06:11
And my best friend had mistakenly one day
140
356000
3000
我这个最好的朋友曾有一天也不知是不是随便胡扯，
06:14
said something about wishing he had another child.
141
359000
4000
说他还想再要一个小孩什么的。
06:18
So here my friends Gene and Gail had not heard from me in about a year,
142
363000
4000
就这样，我的朋友格伦和盖尔都一年左右没有我消息了
06:22
and suddenly I was calling, saying "I'm in Korea,
143
367000
2000
突然接到我的电话，我说，我现在在韩国
06:24
and I've met this extraordinary girl."
144
369000
2000
认识了一个很棒的小女孩儿，
06:26
And I said, "The grandmother thinks she's sick,
145
371000
3000
她的祖母快不行了，
06:29
but I think maybe we would have to bring the grandmother over also."
146
374000
3000
（不知你们愿不愿意领养她）不过很有可能我们也得把那位祖母也接到美国，
06:33
And I said, "I'll pay for the ... " I mean, I had this whole sort of picture.
147
378000
3000
但我会承担全部费用--”，我说的很急，脑子里已似乎计划好所有的一切。
06:36
So anyway, I left.
148
381000
2000
不管怎么样，我暂时离开了韩国。
06:38
And my friends actually said they were very interested in adopting her.
149
383000
5000
我的朋友告诉我他们的确很有兴趣领养这个小女孩。
06:43
And I said, "Look, I think I'll scare the grandmother to death,
150
388000
2000
我对他们说：“太好了，如果我写信告诉那位祖母你们愿意领养
06:45
if I actually write to her and tell her
151
390000
2000
她会高兴坏的
06:47
that you're willing to adopt her, I want to go back and talk to her."
152
392000
2000
我一定得再去趟韩国当面告诉她。”
06:49
But I was off on assignment.
153
394000
2000
可是我身上另有一个拍摄任务在，
06:51
I figured I'd come back in a couple of weeks and talk to the grandmother.
154
396000
3000
我预计再过几个礼拜才能回韩国告诉祖母这个消息
06:54
And on Christmas Day,
155
399000
2000
就这样，圣诞节那天，
06:56
I was in Bangkok with a group of photographers
156
401000
2000
我正和一群摄影师在曼谷，
06:58
and got a telegram -- back in those days, you got telegrams --
157
403000
3000
突然收到一封电报--在那个时代还是靠发电报的--
07:01
from Time magazine saying someone in Korea had died,
158
406000
2000
发到时代杂志，让通知我说有个什么人在韩国去世了，
07:03
and left their child in a will to me.
159
408000
3000
并在遗嘱里把孩子留给了我，
07:06
Did I know anything about this?
160
411000
2000
问我知不知道这件事？
07:08
Because I hadn't told them what I was doing,
161
413000
2000
我没有把在韩国发生的一切告诉时代杂志，
07:10
because I was so upset with the story they'd run.
162
415000
2000
因为我对他们先前的报道相当不满。
07:12
So, I went back to Korea, and I went back to Hyun-Sook's village,
163
417000
3000
于是我赶去韩国，又回到当初贤淑住的村庄里。
07:15
and she was gone.
164
420000
2000
可是早已
07:17
And the house that I had spent time in was empty.
165
422000
2000
人去楼空。
07:19
It was incredibly cold.
166
424000
2000
天气寒冷至极，
07:21
No one in the village would tell me where Hyun-Sook was,
167
426000
2000
村里人没人愿意告诉我贤淑的下落，
07:23
because the grandmother had always hidden her from Westerners.
168
428000
3000
因为他们只知道去世的祖母总是把小女孩藏起来不让西方人接近，
07:26
And they had no idea about this request that she'd made of me.
169
431000
3000
他们根本不知道其实是去世的祖母让我来带小女孩走的。
07:29
So I finally found Myung Sung,
170
434000
3000
最后我找到成明姬，
07:32
her best friend that she used to play with after school every day.
171
437000
2000
她是贤淑最好的朋友，她俩在学校时天天一起玩。
07:34
And Myung Sung, under some pressure from me and the translator,
172
439000
4000
成明姬在我和翻译的施压下，
07:38
gave us an address on the outside of Seoul.
173
443000
3000
终于给了我们一个地址在首尔郊外。
07:41
And I went to that address and knocked on the door,
174
446000
3000
我们赶去那个地址，敲响了门，
07:44
and a man answered the door.
175
449000
2000
一个男人开的门，
07:46
It was not a very nice area of Seoul,
176
451000
3000
这里其实是首尔一个不太好的地段，
07:49
as there were mud streets outside of it.
177
454000
2000
因为旁边都是泥泞的马路。
07:51
And I knocked on the door, and Hyun-Sook answered the door,
178
456000
3000
我敲门的时候，贤淑来开的门，
07:54
and her eyes were bloodshot, and she seemed to be in shock.
179
459000
3000
她双眼充血，看到我后露出震惊的神色
07:57
She didn't recognize me -- there was no recognition whatsoever.
180
462000
3000
她似乎没认出我来，至少我觉得她没有
08:00
And this man came to the door and kind of barked something in Korean.
181
465000
2000
随后一个男人走出来，对着贤淑嚷了几句韩文。
08:02
And I said to the translator, "What did he say?"
182
467000
3000
我就翻译：“他说了啥？”
08:05
And she said, "He wants to know who you are."
183
470000
2000
翻译说：“他想知道你是谁。”
08:07
And I said, "Well, tell him that I am a photographer."
184
472000
2000
我马上说：“告诉他我是个摄影师。”
08:09
I started explaining who I was, and he interrupted.
185
474000
3000
接着我开始解释一通我到底是谁，那个男人打断了我。
08:12
And she said, "He says he knows who you are, what do you want?"
186
477000
3000
翻译说：“他说他知道你是谁了，问你要干吗？”
08:15
I said, "Well, tell him that I was asked
187
480000
3000
于是我说：“告诉他，
08:18
by this little girl's grandmother to find a family for her."
188
483000
4000
是这个女孩儿的祖母托我帮她找个愿意领养她的家庭的。”
08:22
And he said, "I'm her uncle, she's fine, you can leave now."
189
487000
5000
男人马上说：“我是她的舅舅，她很好，你们可以走了。”
08:27
So I was -- you know, the door was being slammed in my face,
190
492000
4000
紧接着--你知道，门砰的关上了。
08:31
it's incredibly cold, and I'm trying to think,
191
496000
2000
外面寒风刺骨，我嘱咐自己冷静，思考。
08:33
"What would the hero do in a movie,
192
498000
2000
“换了电影里的英雄男主角，这会儿会怎么做呢？”
08:35
if I was writing this as a movie script?"
193
500000
2000
“如果我是电影编剧，编到这里会怎么继续呢？”
08:37
So I said, "Listen, it's really cold, I've come a very long way,
194
502000
2000
于是我敲开门再次解释：“拜托，外面太冷了，而且我从很远的地方赶来，
08:39
do you mind if I just come in for a minute? I'm freezing."
195
504000
2000
能不能让我进去哪怕待一小会儿呢？我快冻僵了。”
08:41
So the guy kind of reluctantly let us in and we sat down on the floor.
196
506000
3000
终于那个男人很不情愿的让我们进屋，于是我们坐了下来。
08:44
And as we started talking, I saw him yell something,
197
509000
3000
当我们开始商谈，我见他朝屋里嚷了几句，
08:47
and Hyun-Sook came and brought us some food.
198
512000
4000
接着就看见贤淑进来端给我们一些食物。
08:51
And I had this whole mental picture of, sort of like Cinderella.
199
516000
3000
我立刻仿佛看见灰姑娘被使唤一般，
08:54
I sort of had this picture of this incredibly wonderful,
200
519000
3000
我拍下了这一幕，那么优秀，
08:57
bright, happy little child, who now appeared to be very withdrawn,
201
522000
5000
聪颖又快乐的小女孩，现在畏缩成这样，
09:02
being enslaved by this family.
202
527000
2000
被这个家庭当仆人一样使唤。
09:04
And I was really appalled, and I couldn't figure out what to do.
203
529000
3000
我异常的愤怒，可是我不知道该怎么办。
09:07
And the more I tried talking to him, the less friendly he was getting.
204
532000
3000
我越是想和那个男人理论，越是惹恼那个男人。
09:10
So I finally decided, I said "Look," --
205
535000
2000
最终，我告诉他：“听着“，
09:12
this is all through the translator, because, this is all,
206
537000
2000
--当然这些都是通过翻译说的，因为你知道，
09:14
you know, I don't speak a word of Korean --
207
539000
2000
我半句韩文都不会--
09:16
and I said, "Look, I'm really glad that Hyun-Sook has a family to live with.
208
541000
3000
我告诉他：“听着，我很开心贤淑可以有地方住，
09:19
I was very worried about her.
209
544000
2000
我一直很担心她，
09:21
I made a promise to her grandmother, your mother, that I would find a family,
210
546000
4000
我答应了她的祖母，也就是你的母亲，说我一定会帮贤淑找个好人家领养她，
09:25
and now I'm so happy that you're going to take care of her."
211
550000
2000
现在我很高兴看见你可以照顾她，
09:27
I said, "But you know, I bought an airline ticket,
212
552000
2000
不过，你知道我订的机票，
09:29
and I'm stuck here for a week."
213
554000
1000
让我不得不整个礼拜都得呆在这里，
09:30
And I said, "I'm staying in a hotel downtown.
214
555000
2000
我住在市区的一个旅馆里，
09:32
Would you like to come and have lunch tomorrow?
215
557000
2000
你愿不愿意明天去我那里一起吃午饭呢？
09:34
And you can practice your English." Because he told me --
216
559000
2000
而且你还可以顺便练习英语。”--因为他告诉我他想学英语--
09:36
I was trying to ask him questions about himself.
217
561000
2000
我想争取多了解一些他的状况。
09:38
And so I went to the hotel, and I found two older Amerasians.
218
563000
7000
接着我回到旅馆，找到两个年纪稍微大一些的美亚儿。
09:45
A girl whose mother had been a prostitute,
219
570000
4000
一个女孩的妈妈是个妓女，
09:49
and she was a prostitute,
220
574000
2000
她也了从事同样的事情，
09:51
and a boy who'd been in and out of jail.
221
576000
2000
还有一个男孩，不断犯事进出牢房。
09:53
And I said to them, "Look, there's a little girl
222
578000
2000
于是我对他们说：”知道吗，有这么一个小女孩，
09:55
who has a tiny chance of getting out of here and going to America."
223
580000
4000
她有那么一点微小的希望可以走出这里去到美国，
09:59
I said, "I don't know if it's the right decision or not,
224
584000
3000
我也不知道这对她来说是不是一个好的选择，
10:02
but I would like you to come to lunch tomorrow
225
587000
2000
不过我希望你们明天可以来一起吃午餐，
10:04
and tell the uncle what it's like to walk down the street,
226
589000
2000
告诉小女孩的舅舅走在这样的街道上是什么感觉，
10:06
what people say to you, what you do for a living.
227
591000
3000
人们怎么议论你们的，你们又是靠什么维生的。
10:09
And just -- I want him to understand what happens if she stays here.
228
594000
3000
我只是想让她舅舅明白，如果继续让那个女孩儿呆下去结果会是什么。
10:12
And I could be wrong, I don't know, but I wish you would come tomorrow."
229
597000
3000
当然也可能我是错的，我也不知道，不过我真心希望你们明天可以一起来。”
10:15
So, these two came to lunch, and
230
600000
3000
于是那两个孩子第二天来了，
10:18
we got thrown out of the restaurant.
231
603000
2000
我们最终被踢出餐厅，
10:20
They were yelling at him, they were -- it got to be really ugly.
232
605000
3000
因为他们冲着他大喊大叫，场面很难看。
10:23
And we went outside, and he was just furious.
233
608000
2000
餐厅外面，小女孩的舅舅快气炸了，
10:25
And I knew I had totally blown this whole thing.
234
610000
2000
我知道我完全搞砸了一切。
10:27
Here I was again, trying to figure out what to do.
235
612000
2000
我又一次绞尽脑汁的想该怎么办
10:29
And he started yelling at me, and I said to the translator,
236
614000
2000
这时候小女孩的舅舅开始朝着我叫嚷起来，我便和翻译说，
10:31
"OK, tell him to calm down, what is he saying?"
237
616000
2000
“好了，让他冷静，他在说什么？”
10:33
And she said, "Well, he's saying,
238
618000
2000
翻译说：“你知道，他说，
10:35
'Who the hell are you to walk into my house,
239
620000
2000
你算什么东西可以这样走进我家，
10:37
some rich American with your cameras around your neck,
240
622000
3000
脖子上挂个照相机有钱的美国人了不起啊，
10:40
accusing me of enslaving my niece?
241
625000
3000
居然指责我奴役我的外甥女？
10:43
This is my niece, I love her, she's my sister's daughter.
242
628000
3000
她是我的外甥女，我爱她，她可是我姐姐的女儿阿。
10:46
Who the hell are you
243
631000
3000
你算什么
10:49
to accuse me of something like this?'"
244
634000
2000
可以那样指责我？”
10:51
And I said, you know, "Look," I said, "You're absolutely right.
245
636000
3000
于是我回答他，“没错，你说的全都对，
10:54
I don't pretend to understand what's going on here."
246
639000
2000
我不会装的我好像明白到底这里发生了什么事。”
10:56
I said, "All I know is, I've been photographing a lot of these children."
247
641000
2000
“我唯一知道的就是我已经拍摄了很多这样的孩子，
10:58
I said, "I'm in love with your niece,
248
643000
4000
我爱你的外甥女，
11:02
I think she's an incredibly special child."
249
647000
3000
我觉得她是个非常特别的孩子，
11:05
And I said, "Look, I will fly my friends over here
250
650000
2000
我可以让愿意领养她的我的朋友
11:07
from the United States if you want to meet them, to see if you approve of them.
251
652000
3000
从美国飞过来见你如果你愿意
11:10
I just think that -- what little I know about the situation,
252
655000
4000
我只是觉得，也是我唯一相信的一点，
11:14
she has very little chance here of having the kind of life
253
659000
3000
那就是她呆在这里没有可能得到的生活，
11:17
that you probably would like her to have."
254
662000
2000
也许你愿意放走她让她得到。”
11:19
So, everyone told me afterwards that inviting the prospective parents over
255
664000
3000
当然事后，所有人都和我说，请愿意领养的父母飞过来，
11:22
was, again, the stupidest thing I could have possibly done,
256
667000
2000
是我能做的最愚蠢的事情。
11:24
because who's ever good enough for your relative?
257
669000
4000
因为谁会比亲戚更亲呢？
11:28
But he invited me to come to a ceremony
258
673000
2000
不过他还是邀请去参加了当天
11:30
they were having that day for her grandmother.
259
675000
3000
为女孩的祖母举办的葬礼。
11:33
And they actually take items of clothing and photographs,
260
678000
2000
他们真的会把一些生前的衣物照片
11:35
and they burn them as part of the ritual.
261
680000
3000
扔到火里烧掉作为某种习俗。
11:38
And you can see how different she looks just in three months.
262
683000
2000
从照片上你们可以看见，贤淑仅仅这三个月改变了多少。
11:40
This was now, I think, February, early February.
263
685000
3000
这张是...让我想想，二月，二月初，
11:43
And the pictures before were taken in September.
264
688000
4000
之前的照片是九月照的。
11:47
Well, there was an American Marine priest that I had met
265
692000
2000
不管怎样，我想到我曾认识一个海军陆战队的牧师，
11:49
in the course of doing the story,
266
694000
2000
我就是通过这次拍摄任务认识的。
11:51
who had 75 children living in his house.
267
696000
2000
他让75个孩子住在他家里，
11:53
He had three women helping him take care of these kids.
268
698000
2000
并请了三位妇女帮他照料这些孩子。
11:55
And so I suggested to the uncle that we go down
269
700000
2000
于是我便建议小女孩的舅舅一起过去，
11:57
and meet Father Keene, to find out
270
702000
2000
见见这位神父基恩，
11:59
how the adoption process worked.
271
704000
2000
看看领养程序是怎样的
12:01
Because I wanted him to feel like
272
706000
2000
因为我希望他明白，
12:03
this was all being done very much above board.
273
708000
2000
领养的事基本已经在进行中了。
12:05
So, this is on the way down to the orphanage.
274
710000
2000
于是我们去了那个孤儿院，
12:08
This is Father Keene. He's just a wonderful guy.
275
713000
4000
这张照片就是神父基恩，他是个很棒的人。
12:13
He had kids from all over Korea living there,
276
718000
2000
住在他孤儿院的孩子来自韩国各地，
12:15
and he would find families for these kids.
277
720000
2000
他还会帮这些孩子找愿意领养他们的人家。
12:18
This is a social worker interviewing Hyun-Sook.
278
723000
3000
这是那里的义工正在采访贤淑。
12:21
Now, I had always thought she was completely
279
726000
2000
我总觉得，贤淑一定完全没有接触过这些情形，
12:23
untouched by all of this, because the grandmother, to me,
280
728000
2000
因为她的祖母在我看来，
12:25
appeared to be sort of the village wise woman, and the person everybody --
281
730000
4000
是村子里很有智慧的女人，村里人
12:29
throughout the day, I noticed people kept coming to visit her grandmother.
282
734000
3000
在仪式那天都不断地来祭奠她。
12:32
And I always had this mental picture that
283
737000
2000
我脑子里总有这样的画面，
12:34
even though they may have been one of the poorer families in the village,
284
739000
4000
那就是尽管祖母和贤淑是村子里很贫穷的人家，
12:38
they were one of the most respected families in the village.
285
743000
2000
她们却是很受村里人尊重的人。
12:40
And I always felt that the grandmother had kind of demanded, and insisted,
286
745000
3000
我也总感觉，祖母在世时
12:43
that the villagers treat Hyun-Sook with the same respect they treated her.
287
748000
6000
一定坚持希望贤淑也受到村里人同样的尊重。
12:49
Hyun-Sook stayed at Father Keene's,
288
754000
2000
就这样，贤淑待在了神父基恩的孤儿院。
12:51
and her uncle agreed to let her stay there until the adoption went through.
289
756000
3000
她的叔叔也同意让她待在那里直到被领养。
12:54
He actually agreed to the adoption.
290
759000
3000
他终于同意让贤淑被领养了。
12:57
And I went off on assignment and came back a week later,
291
762000
1000
因为另一个拍摄任务我离开了一段时间，一个礼拜才再回韩国。
12:59
and Father Keene said, "I've got to talk to you about Hyun-Sook."
292
764000
2000
那天神父突然和我说：“我得和你谈谈关于贤淑的事。”
13:01
I kind of said, "Oh God, now what?"
293
766000
2000
我说道：“天哪，又怎么了？”
13:03
And he takes me into this room, and he closes the door,
294
768000
1000
他把我带到一个屋子里，关上门，
13:04
and he says, "I have 75 children here in the orphanage, and it's total bedlam."
295
769000
4000
然后他开口了，“孤儿院共有75个孩子，所以我这儿乱的和疯人院没两样，
13:08
And there's clothes, and there's kids, and, you know,
296
773000
3000
到处是衣服，孩子，你知道，
13:11
there's three adults and 75 kids -- you can imagine.
297
776000
2000
就三个大人应付75个孩子，你可以想象这情形，
13:13
And he said, "The second day she was here she made up a list
298
778000
3000
可是贤淑到这儿后的第二天，她就自己列了个单子，
13:16
of all of the names of the older kids and the younger kids.
299
781000
3000
上面是所有年纪稍长的孩子和还很小的孩子们的名字，
13:19
And she assigned one of the older kids to each of the younger kids.
300
784000
3000
她把小一点的孩子们分别分配给每个大一些的孩子们嘱咐他们照料，
13:22
And then she set up a work detail list
301
787000
2000
接着她还把该干的活也列了个详尽的表出来，
13:24
of who cleaned the orphanage on what day."
302
789000
3000
谁哪天该打扫孤儿院都分配好，
13:27
And he said, "She's telling me that I'm messy, and I have to clean up my room."
303
792000
3000
她还对我说，我太乱了，应该好好打扫屋子才好。
13:30
And he said, "I don't know who raised her,
304
795000
2000
我不知道是谁抚养她长大，
13:32
but," he said, "she's running the orphanage,
305
797000
2000
但是她简直已经可以算在管理孤儿院了，
13:34
and she's been here three days."
306
799000
2000
可是她才来了三天而已。”
13:36
(Laughter)
307
801000
1000
(笑声)
13:38
This was movie day -- that she organized -- where all the kids went to the movies.
308
803000
3000
这张照片是贤淑组织的看电影日，所有的孩子一起去看电影。
13:41
A lot of the kids who had been adopted
309
806000
3000
很多已经被领养走的孩子们
13:44
actually wrote back to the other kids, telling them
310
809000
2000
会写信给其他孩子们，告诉他们
13:46
about what their life was like with their new families.
311
811000
3000
和新家庭的生活是怎样的。
13:49
So, it was a really big deal when the letters showed up.
312
814000
2000
所以每每信寄来的时候，就是孤儿院的头等大事
13:51
This is a woman who is now working at the orphanage,
313
816000
2000
这位女性现在正为孤儿院服务，
13:53
whose son had been adopted.
314
818000
2000
她的儿子已经被领养了。
13:59
Gene and Gail started studying Korean
315
824000
2000
格伦和盖尔开始学习韩语了，
14:01
the moment they had gotten my first letter.
316
826000
2000
他们从收到我得第一封信开始
14:03
They really wanted to be able to welcome Hyun-Sook into their family.
317
828000
4000
就真心的希望能迎接贤淑成为他们家的一员。
14:08
And one of the things Father Keene told me when I came back
318
833000
1000
当我后来又回韩国时神父基恩还告诉我另外一件事，
14:09
from one of these trips -- Hyun-Sook had chosen the name Natasha,
319
834000
4000
贤淑给自己选择的英文名是娜塔莎，
14:13
which I understood was from her watching
320
838000
2000
我一听就知道这个名字来源于一部关于美国空军基地的一部动画片
14:15
a "Rocky and Bullwinkle" cartoon on the American Air Force station.
321
840000
5000
名字叫做《洛基和布文哥》。
14:20
This may be one of those myth-buster things that we'll have to clear up here, in a minute.
322
845000
4000
这很有可能是某个杜撰的流言之一，事后再釐清不迟。
14:24
So, my friend Gene flew over with his son, Tim.
323
849000
2000
就这样，我的朋友格伦和他的儿子提姆飞来了韩国，
14:26
Gail couldn't come.
324
851000
2000
盖尔有事不能来。
14:28
And they spent a lot of time huddled over a dictionary.
325
853000
2000
语言不通的缘故他们大多数时间都围着字典，
14:30
And this was Gene showing the uncle where Atlanta was on the map, where he lived.
326
855000
4000
格伦在地图上给娜塔莎的舅舅指亚特兰大在哪里。
14:36
This is the uncle signing the adoption papers.
327
861000
2000
这是她的舅舅正在签署关于领养的文件。
14:38
Now, we went out to dinner that night to celebrate.
328
863000
2000
当天晚上我们一起吃晚饭庆祝，
14:40
The uncle went back to his family,
329
865000
2000
娜塔莎的舅舅回家去了，
14:42
and Natasha and Tim and Gene and I went out to dinner.
330
867000
4000
这样就剩我，娜塔莎，格伦和提姆去吃晚饭。
14:46
And Gene was showing Natasha how to use a knife and fork,
331
871000
4000
这张是格伦在教娜塔莎如何使用刀叉。
14:50
and then Natasha was returning the utensil lessons.
332
875000
4000
这是娜塔莎回教他怎么使用筷子。
14:54
We went back to our hotel room,
333
879000
2000
吃完后我们回到旅馆，
14:56
and Gene was showing Natasha also where Atlanta was.
334
881000
2000
这是格伦告诉娜塔莎亚特兰大在哪里。
14:58
This is the third night we were in Korea.
335
883000
2000
这已经是我们呆在韩国的第三个晚上了。
15:00
The first night we'd gotten a room for the kids right next to us.
336
885000
4000
第一晚我们让孩子们住在隔壁一间。
15:04
Now, I'd been staying in this room for about three months --
337
889000
2000
我已经在这间旅馆呆了三个月了，
15:06
it was a little 15-story Korean hotel.
338
891000
4000
这是一个十五层楼的韩国小旅馆。
15:11
So, the second night, we didn't keep the kids' room,
339
896000
2000
第二晚我们让两个孩子住在我们房里，
15:13
because we went down and slept on the floor with all the kids at the orphanage.
340
898000
3000
我和格伦去了孤儿院和那里的孩子们一起睡在地板上。
15:16
And the third night, we came back, we'd just gone out to dinner,
341
901000
1000
第三个晚上我们从孤儿院回来，吃完晚饭，
15:17
where you saw the pictures, and we got to the front desk
342
902000
2000
你们可以看这些照片，我们在旅馆前台
15:19
and the guy at the front desk said,
343
904000
2000
前台的人告诉我们，
15:21
"There's no other free rooms on your floor tonight,
344
906000
2000
“今晚已经你们那一层已经没有多余的房间了，
15:23
so if you want to put the kids five floors below you, there's a room there."
345
908000
4000
如果你们愿意让你们孩子住在你们下面五层，那儿倒有个房间。”
15:27
And Gene and I looked at each other and said,
346
912000
2000
格伦和我相互看了一眼，说：
15:29
"No, we don't want two 11-year-olds five floors away."
347
914000
2000
“不，我们不想让两个11岁的孩子住离我们五层远。”
15:31
So, his son said, "Dad, I have a sleeping bag, I'll sleep on the floor."
348
916000
3000
这时提姆说：“爸爸，我有个睡袋，我可以睡在地板上。”
15:34
And I said, "Yeah, I have one too."
349
919000
2000
我也说：“没错我也有一个。”
15:36
So, Tim and I slept on the floor,
350
921000
2000
于是我和提姆睡在了地板上。
15:38
Natasha got one bed, Gene got the other -- kids pass out,
351
923000
2000
娜塔莎和格伦各人一张床。两个孩子很快昏睡过去，
15:40
it's been very exciting for three days.
352
925000
2000
过去的三天实在是太丰富令人兴奋了。
15:42
We're lying in bed, and Gene and I are talking about how cool we are.
353
927000
3000
格伦和我就那样躺着，感叹我俩多酷啊，
15:46
We said, "That was so great, we saved this little girl's life."
354
931000
3000
我俩说，“这真是太棒了，我们从苦难中拯救了这个小女孩啊。”
15:49
We were just like, you know, ah, just full of ourselves.
355
934000
4000
我们俩，你知道，得意极了。
15:53
And we fall asleep -- and I've been in this room, you know,
356
938000
2000
最终我们也睡着了。我曾住过这个屋子，你们知道，
15:55
for a couple of months now.
357
940000
2000
大概住过几个月。
15:57
And they always overheat the hotels in Korea terribly,
358
942000
4000
我知道这个旅馆总是把空调温度调得过高，
16:01
so during the day I always left the window open.
359
946000
2000
所以白天我总是把窗户敞开，
16:03
And then, at night, about midnight, they turn the heat off in the hotel.
360
948000
2000
到了午夜，他们又会把空调关掉，
16:05
So at about 1 a.m., the whole room would be like 20 below zero, and I'd get up.
361
950000
4000
所以凌晨1点的时候，整个屋子又跟零下20度似的，我又不得不起床关窗。
16:09
I'd been doing this every night I'd been there.
362
954000
2000
我在那儿住的几个月里每天都得这样干。
16:11
So, sure enough, it's one o'clock, room's freezing,
363
956000
3000
所以当天晚上也一样，凌晨一点，屋子冷得跟冰窖似的，
16:14
I go to close the window, and I hear people shouting outside,
364
959000
4000
我起身关窗，却听见人们在外面喊叫，
16:18
and I thought, "Oh, the bars must have just gotten out."
365
963000
2000
我心想，“哦，可能那些泡酒吧的人出来了。”
16:20
And I don't speak Korean, but I'm hearing these voices,
366
965000
2000
我不会说韩语，但是我听到一些声音，
16:22
and I'm not hearing anger, I'm hearing terror.
367
967000
4000
我听见恐惧而不是生气的喊叫。
16:26
So, I open the window, and I look out,
368
971000
2000
于是我打开窗，向外看，
16:28
and there's flames coming up the side of our hotel,
369
973000
2000
发现火焰直从旅馆下面窜上来，
16:30
and the hotel's on fire.
370
975000
2000
旅馆着火了！
16:32
So, I run over to Gene, and I wake him up,
371
977000
2000
我冲到格伦身边，把他叫醒，
16:34
and I say, "Gene, don't freak out, I think the hotel's on fire."
372
979000
3000
我说，“格伦，千万别慌，我觉得旅馆好像着火了。”
16:37
And now there's smoke and flames coming by our windows -- we're on the eleventh floor.
373
982000
4000
当时浓烟和火苗已经窜到我们窗边，我们住的可是11楼啊！
16:41
So, the two of us were just like, "Oh my God, oh my God."
374
986000
2000
所以当时我们只呆在那儿喊着:"天哪，我的天哪..."
16:43
So, we're trying to get Natasha up, and we can't talk to her.
375
988000
4000
不管怎样我们冲过去要叫醒娜塔莎，尽管我们都不会韩语。
16:47
And you know what kids are like when they've been asleep for like an hour,
376
992000
2000
你们知道孩子是怎么样的当他们才睡着个1小时左右，
16:49
it's like they took five Valiums -- you know, they're all over the place.
377
994000
3000
就好像吃了五片安眠药，迷迷糊糊找不着北。
16:52
And we can't talk to her.
378
997000
2000
而且我们跟本不会韩语没法和她交流。
16:54
I remember his son had the L.L. Bean bootlaces,
379
999000
2000
我记得提姆当时穿的是里昂.比恩牌的户外靴，
16:56
and we're trying to do up his laces.
380
1001000
2000
我们还试着给他系上鞋带。
16:58
So, we try to get to the door, and we run to the door,
381
1003000
2000
接着我们冲向门口，
17:00
and we open the door and it's like walking into a blast furnace.
382
1005000
3000
当我们打开门就好像走进爆炸了的熔炉里，
17:03
There's people screaming, there's the sound of glass breaking,
383
1008000
2000
到处都是喊叫，到处都是玻璃破碎的声音，
17:05
there's these weird thumps.
384
1010000
2000
居然还有很响的敲击声。
17:07
And the whole room filled with smoke in about two seconds.
385
1012000
3000
整个屋子两秒钟之内完全充斥着浓烟。
17:10
And Gene turns around and says, "We're not going to make it."
386
1015000
2000
这时，格伦转向我，说了一句：“我们完了。”
17:12
And he closes the door, and the whole room is now filled with smoke.
387
1017000
4000
他关上门，整个屋子已经全是浓烟。
17:16
We're all choking, and there's smoke pouring through the vents,
388
1021000
2000
我们通通觉得呼吸困难，浓烟继续从通风口，门底下不断地灌进来，
17:18
under the doors. There's people screaming.
389
1023000
2000
人们不断地尖叫。
17:20
I just remember this unbelievable, just utter chaos.
390
1025000
4000
我只记得那无法想象的巨大混乱。
17:24
I remember sitting near the bed, and I was just so --
391
1029000
2000
我当时坐在床边，心里面
17:26
I had two overwhelming feelings.
392
1031000
2000
只有两个感受，
17:28
One was absolute terror -- it's like, "Oh, please God, I just want to wake up.
393
1033000
2000
一个就是可怕的恐慌--就好像说，“上帝啊，快让我醒来吧，
17:30
This has got to be a nightmare, this can't be happening.
394
1035000
2000
这一切都不是真的，只是一个噩梦而已。
17:32
Please, I just want to wake up, it's got to be a nightmare."
395
1037000
2000
天哪，我只想醒过来发现这一切只是一个噩梦。”
17:34
And the other is unbelievable guilt.
396
1039000
2000
还有一个就是无比的愧疚感。
17:36
Here I've been, playing God with my friends' lives, my friends' son, with Natasha's life,
397
1041000
5000
我在这里当救世主，结果把我朋友、他的儿子还有娜塔莎的性命都搭上了。
17:41
and this what you get when you try playing God, is you hurt people.
398
1046000
3000
这就是我当救世主的结果，就是反而伤害到了别人。
17:44
I remember just being so frightened and terrified.
399
1049000
2000
记得我当时非常恐惧慌张。
17:46
And Gene, who's lying on the floor, says,
400
1051000
2000
这时，躺在地板上的格伦说话了，
17:48
"Man, we've got to soak towels." I said, "What?"
401
1053000
2000
“老兄，我们得浸湿毛巾。”“你说什么。”我回答。
17:50
He says, "We've got to soak towels. We're going to die from the smoke."
402
1055000
2000
他又说了一遍：“我们必须拿湿毛巾捂住口鼻，不然我们会被烟呛死的。”
17:52
So, we ran to the bathroom, and got towels,
403
1057000
2000
于是我们冲进浴室拿毛巾，
17:54
and put them over our faces, and the kids faces.
404
1059000
2000
接着我们用湿毛巾捂住大家的脸。
17:56
Then he said, "Do you have gaffer's tape?"
405
1061000
2000
格伦又说，“你有没有固定照明灯的粘着胶带？”
17:58
I said, "What?" He said, "Do you have gaffer's tape?"
406
1063000
2000
我以为听错了，问：“什么？”“你有没有粘着胶带？”
18:00
I said, "Yeah, somewhere in my Halliburton."
407
1065000
2000
我说：“有啊，去能源公司哈里伯顿准有。”
18:02
He says, "We've got to stop the smoke."
408
1067000
2000
他说，“我们必须想办法阻止烟进来。
18:04
He said, "That's all we can do, we've got to stop the smoke."
409
1069000
2000
这是我们唯一可以做的，那就是阻止烟进来！”
18:06
I mean, Gene -- thank God for Gene.
410
1071000
2000
谢天谢地，幸亏有格伦在。
18:08
So, we put the room service menus over the vents in the wall,
411
1073000
4000
于是我们把旅馆的菜单塞进通风口里，
18:12
we put blankets at the bottom of the door,
412
1077000
2000
再弄些毯子塞住门缝，
18:14
we put the kids on the windowsill to try to get some air.
413
1079000
3000
接着我们让两个孩子靠着窗户缝可以呼吸些空气。
18:17
And there was a building, a new building, going up,
414
1082000
2000
旅馆前面有栋新起的大楼，
18:19
that was being built right outside, across the street from our hotel.
415
1084000
3000
就在我们旅馆街道的正对面，
18:22
And there, in the building were photographers
416
1087000
1000
楼里有很多摄影师，
18:23
waiting for people to jump.
417
1088000
2000
正等着拍摄有人跳楼的情景。
18:25
Eleven people ended up dying in the fire.
418
1090000
3000
11个人死于火里，
18:28
Five people jumped and died, other people were killed by the smoke.
419
1093000
6000
5个人因跳楼而死，其他还有人死于浓烟。
18:34
And there's this loud thumping on the door after about 45 minutes
420
1099000
3000
大概过了45分钟左右，突然有咚咚的巨大敲门声，
18:37
in all this, and people were shouting in Korean.
421
1102000
2000
还夹杂着用韩文喊叫着什么。
18:39
And I remember, Natasha didn't want us opening the door --
422
1104000
7000
我记得当时娜塔莎不让我们开门，
18:46
sorry, I was trying not to open the door,
423
1111000
2000
哦，错了，是我不让开门，
18:48
because we'd spent so much time barricading the room.
424
1113000
2000
因为我们花了很久才将屋子与外面的浓烟隔绝，
18:50
I didn't know who it was, I didn't know what they wanted,
425
1115000
2000
我不知道敲门的是谁，也不知道他们想干嘛。
18:52
and Natasha could tell they were firemen trying to get us out.
426
1117000
4000
这时候娜塔莎告诉我，他们是消防员来救我们了！
18:56
I remember a sort of a tussle at the door, trying to get the door open.
427
1121000
3000
我记得有一阵撞门，
18:59
In any case, 12 hours later, I mean, they put us in the lobby.
428
1124000
6000
不管怎么样，12个小时后，我们已被安置在大厅了。
19:05
Gene ended up using his coat, and his fist in the coat, to break open a liquor cabinet.
429
1130000
4000
格伦最后用他的外套包住拳头，打碎了酒柜的玻璃。
19:09
People were lying on the floor.
430
1134000
2000
人们劫后都躺在地板上。
19:11
It was one of just the most horrifying nights.
431
1136000
3000
那绝对是迄今为止最恐怖的夜晚之一。
19:14
And then 12 hours later, we rented a car, as we had planned to,
432
1139000
3000
12个小时后，我们租了辆车，打算
19:17
and drove back to Natasha's village.
433
1142000
2000
开去娜塔莎的村子。
19:19
And we kept saying, "Do you realize we were dying in a hotel fire,
434
1144000
2000
我们不住地说：“有没有意识到我们差一点死在一场旅馆的火灾里，
19:21
like eight hours ago?"
435
1146000
2000
八小时以前？”
19:23
It's so weird how life just goes on.
436
1148000
2000
可是奇怪的是生活照样继续着。
19:25
Natasha wanted to introduce her brother and father to all the villagers,
437
1150000
3000
娜塔莎想把她的新哥哥和新爸爸介绍给村里的所有人。
19:28
and the day we showed up turned out to be a 60-year-old man's birthday.
438
1153000
4000
我们到村子的那天恰好是一位老人的60岁大寿--
19:32
This guy's 60 years old.
439
1157000
2000
这位老人60岁了。
19:34
So it turned into a dual celebration, because Natasha was the first person
440
1159000
2000
结果就变成了双重庆祝，因为娜塔莎是村子里第一个
19:36
from this village ever to go to the United States.
441
1161000
2000
可以走出村子去到美国的。
19:38
So, these are the greenhouse tents.
442
1163000
2000
这张是村里人的温室棚。
19:40
This is the elders teaching Gene their dances.
443
1165000
3000
这张是长者们在教格伦跳她们的舞。
19:43
We drank a lot of rice wine. We were both so drunk,
444
1168000
3000
我们喝了很多米酒，我俩都醉了。
19:46
I couldn't believe it.
445
1171000
3000
简直不敢相信。
19:50
This is the last picture before Gene and Tim headed back.
446
1175000
4000
这张是格伦和提姆回美国前的最后一张照片。
19:54
The adoption people told us it was going to take a year for the adoption to go through.
447
1179000
5000
领养组织的人告诉我们说要一年时间才能履行完所有手续，
19:59
Like, what could you do for a year?
448
1184000
2000
那么这一年用来做什么？
20:01
So I found out the name of every official on both the Korean and American side,
449
1186000
3000
于是我找到所有涉及这些领养手续的官员的名字，韩国的和美国的，
20:04
and I photographed them, and told them
450
1189000
2000
我给他们拍了照并告诉他们
20:06
how famous they were going to be when this book was done.
451
1191000
3000
如果我这本书发表了他们会有多出名
20:09
And four months later, the adoption papers came through.
452
1194000
4000
果不其然，四个月后，领养文件下来了。
20:13
This is saying goodbye to everybody at the orphanage.
453
1198000
3000
这张是我们和孤儿院的所有人说再见。
20:16
This is Father Keene with Natasha at the bus stop.
454
1201000
3000
这张是神父基恩和娜塔莎在车站。
20:19
Her great aunt at the airport.
455
1204000
2000
娜塔莎的阿姨在机场的照片。
20:21
I had a wonderful deal with Cathay Pacific airlines for many years,
456
1206000
4000
我多年来一直和国泰航空有很好的交换条件，
20:25
where they gave me free passes on all their airlines in return for photography.
457
1210000
4000
那就是他们让我免费乘坐航班，而我负责帮他们拍照。
20:29
It was like the ultimate perk.
458
1214000
2000
这就好像终极津贴一样优惠。
20:31
And the pilot, I actually knew -- because they used to let me sit
459
1216000
3000
我还认识飞行员，因为他们常常让我坐跳伞席
20:34
in the jump seat, to tell you how long ago this was.
460
1219000
2000
好告诉我飞到哪里了。
20:36
This is a Tri-Star, and so they let Natasha actually sit in the jump seat.
461
1221000
4000
这是一架三星级的，所以他们也让娜塔莎坐跳伞席，
20:40
And the pilot, Jeff Cowley, actually went back
462
1225000
3000
而且后来，飞行员杰夫考利，在见了娜塔莎之后
20:43
and adopted one of the other kids at the orphanage after meeting Natasha.
463
1228000
4000
还去韩国那个孤儿院也领养了一个孩子。
20:47
This is 28 hours later in Atlanta. It's a very long flight.
464
1232000
3000
这是28小时后到达亚特兰大，很漫长的飞行。
20:50
Just to make things even crazier,
465
1235000
2000
更加添乱的是，
20:52
Gail, Natasha's new mom, was three days away
466
1237000
2000
盖尔，也就是娜塔莎的新妈妈，
20:54
from giving birth to her own daughter.
467
1239000
3000
三天后就是他们自己女儿的预产期。
20:57
So you know, if you were writing this, you'd say,
468
1242000
3000
所以你知道，如果你写这个剧本，你会说，
21:00
"No, we've got to write the script differently."
469
1245000
2000
“嗯，我们该把它写的再与众不同一点才行。”
21:02
This is the first night showing Natasha her new cousins and uncles and aunts.
470
1247000
4000
这张是第一个晚上，带娜塔莎见她的新表兄，叔叔和阿姨。
21:06
Gene and Gail know everyone in Atlanta --
471
1251000
2000
格伦和盖尔几乎可以说认识亚特兰大所有的人，
21:08
they're the most social couple imaginable.
472
1253000
2000
他们是你可以想象的最爱社交的夫妇。
21:10
So, at this point, Natasha doesn't speak a word of English,
473
1255000
2000
这个时候娜塔莎还一句英文都不会讲，
21:12
other than what little Father Keene taught her.
474
1257000
4000
除了神父基恩教她的那一点点。
21:16
This is Kylie, her sister, who's now a doctor, on the right.
475
1261000
6000
这是凯莉站在右边，娜塔莎的妹妹，她现在是个医生了，
21:22
This is a deal I had with Natasha, which is that when we got to Atlanta
476
1267000
4000
这张是我履行和娜塔莎的约定，那就是回到亚特兰大
21:26
she could take -- she could cut off my beard.
477
1271000
2000
她就帮我剪掉我的胡子，
21:28
She never liked it very much.
478
1273000
2000
她从来都不喜欢我的胡子。
21:31
She learned English in three months.
479
1276000
2000
娜塔莎三个月就基本会说英语了，
21:33
She entered seventh grade at her own age level.
480
1278000
4000
她进了这个年纪该上的七年级。
21:37
Pledge of Allegiance for the first time.
481
1282000
2000
第一次宣誓效忠美国。
21:40
This is her cooking teacher.
482
1285000
2000
这是她的厨艺老师。
21:42
Natasha told me that a lot of the kids thought she was stuck up,
483
1287000
2000
娜塔莎告诉我很多孩子都觉得她假清高不睬人，
21:44
because they would talk to her and she wouldn't answer,
484
1289000
2000
因为他们和她说话的时候她都不回答。
21:46
and they didn't realize she didn't actually speak English very well, in the beginning.
485
1291000
3000
其实孩子们没有意识到娜塔莎只是开始还不太会说英语呢。
21:49
But what I noticed, again as an observer,
486
1294000
2000
但是作为旁观者，我又注意到
21:51
was she was choosing who was going to be on her team,
487
1296000
4000
娜塔莎还是那个选择谁有资格和她一队的人。
21:56
and seemed to be very popular very, very quickly.
488
1301000
4000
而且她很快就变得非常受欢迎。
22:00
Now, remember the picture,
489
1305000
2000
现在，还记得这张照片吗，
22:02
how much she looked like her grandmother, at the beginning?
490
1307000
2000
最开始我说娜塔莎长得多像她的祖母，
22:04
People were always telling Natasha how much she looks like her mother, Gail.
491
1309000
6000
结果来了这儿，人们却常常说她长得多像她的妈妈，盖尔。
22:10
This is a tense moment in the first football game, I think.
492
1315000
6000
这张大概是一场足球赛的某个紧张时刻。
22:16
And Kylie -- I mean, it was almost like Kylie was her own child.
493
1321000
5000
这张是凯莉，娜塔莎就好像凯莉是她自己的小孩。
22:25
She's being baptized.
494
1330000
2000
娜塔莎受洗。
22:27
Now, a lot of parents, when they adopt,
495
1332000
2000
其实有很多父母，当他们领养小孩的时候
22:29
actually want to erase their children's history.
496
1334000
2000
总是想掩盖掉小孩的过去，
22:31
And Gail and Gene did the complete opposite.
497
1336000
2000
但是盖尔和格伦完全相反
22:33
They were studying Korean; they bought Korean clothes.
498
1338000
3000
他们学习韩语，买韩国传统的衣服。
22:36
Gene even did a little tile work in the kitchen,
499
1341000
3000
格伦甚至还在厨房铺了一片瓷砖，
22:39
which was that, "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl
500
1344000
2000
上面记录了很久很久以前有这么一个美丽的女孩，
22:41
that came from hills of Korea to live happily ever after in Atlanta."
501
1346000
4000
她来自韩国的小山村从此在亚特兰大过着幸福的生活。
22:45
She hates this picture -- it was her first job.
502
1350000
2000
娜塔莎恨这张照片，--这是她的第一份工作。
22:47
She bought a bright red Karmann Ghia
503
1352000
3000
她买了一辆亮红色的的卡本吉那
22:50
with the money she made working at Burger King.
504
1355000
3000
用她在汉堡王打工赚的钱。
22:53
The captain of the cheerleaders.
505
1358000
2000
这张是她做啦啦队长。
22:55
Beauty pageant.
506
1360000
2000
这张是选美比赛。
22:57
Used to do their Christmas card every year.
507
1362000
3000
他们全家每年习惯做圣诞卡片，
23:00
Gene's been restoring this car for a million years.
508
1365000
4000
格伦几百年前就开始存这些卡片。
23:06
Kodak hired Natasha to be a translator for them at the Olympics in Korea.
509
1371000
4000
柯达聘用了娜塔莎作为韩国奥林匹克时的翻译。
23:10
Her future husband, Jeff, was working for Canon cameras,
510
1375000
4000
她未来的老公，杰夫，在佳能工作，
23:14
and met Natasha at the Olympic Village.
511
1379000
4000
他们俩相遇在奥林匹克村。
23:18
This is her first trip back to Korea, so there's her uncle.
512
1383000
3000
这张是她来之后第一次回韩国，瞧，这是她舅舅，
23:22
This is her half-sister.
513
1387000
2000
这是她同母异父的姐姐。
23:25
She went back to the village. That's her best friend's mother.
514
1390000
3000
娜塔莎回去了村子，那是她最好朋友的妈妈。
23:32
And I always thought that was a very Annie Hall kind of outfit.
515
1397000
4000
我总觉得那身衣服像电影安妮霍尔里的戏服，
23:36
It's just, you know, it was just so interesting, just to watch --
516
1401000
3000
它只是，你知道，只是看上去有趣极了。
23:39
this is her mother in the background there.
517
1404000
3000
这是娜塔莎的妈妈站在后面。
23:46
This is Natasha's wedding day.
518
1411000
3000
这是娜塔莎婚礼的日子。
23:53
Gene is looking a little older.
519
1418000
3000
格伦看上去老了一些。
24:06
This is Sydney, who's going to be three years old in a couple of days.
520
1431000
4000
这是她的孩子悉尼，再过几天就快三岁了。
24:11
And there's Evan.
521
1436000
2000
这是伊万。
24:13
Natasha, would you just come up, for a second,
522
1438000
2000
娜塔莎，你能不能上来一会儿，
24:15
just maybe to say hello to everybody?
523
1440000
2000
只要和大家打个招呼。
24:17
(Applause)
524
1442000
10000
（掌声）
24:28
Natasha's actually never heard me tell the story.
525
1453000
2000
娜塔莎事实上没有听我讲过这个故事，
24:30
I mean, she -- you know, we've looked at the pictures together.
526
1455000
3000
我的意思是，她--你知道，虽然我们一起看过这些照片。
24:33
Natasha: I've seen pictures millions of times,
527
1458000
2000
Natasha：这些照片我看过几百遍了，
24:35
but today was the first time I'm actually seeing him give the whole presentation.
528
1460000
4000
但今天是我第一次看他讲完整个故事，
24:39
I started crying.
529
1464000
2000
结果我哭了。
24:41
Rick Smolan: I'm sure there's about 40 things she's going to tell me,
530
1466000
2000
RS：我敢保证大约会有40件事情她一会儿会告诉我，
24:43
"That wasn't what happened, that wasn't what you said."
531
1468000
2000
那张不是发生了那件事，不是你讲的那样。
24:45
Natasha: Later, I'll do that later.
532
1470000
2000
Natasha：待会儿，待会儿会告诉你的。
24:47
(Laughter)
533
1472000
1000
（笑声）
24:48
RS: Anyway, thank you, Mike and Richard,
534
1473000
2000
RS：不管怎样，谢谢麦克和理查德
24:50
so much for letting us tell the story.
535
1475000
2000
让我们讲述这个故事。
24:52
Thank you all of you.
536
1477000
2000
谢谢你们大家。
24:54
(Applause)
537

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rick Smolan - PhotographerRick Smolan is the co-founder of the America 24/7 and Day in the Life photography series -- and a natural storyteller in many media. His latest books are America at Home and Blue Planet Run.
Why you should listen
Photographer Rick Smolan is the co-creator of the America at Home project, which captured the "emotions of home" across the United States during a week in September 2008. More than 20,000 photographers -- pros and amateurs -- sent images to a team of editors assembled by Smolan and partner Jennifer Erwitt, who turned the photos into an eye-popping book. It's become a best-seller, of course, helped along by the fact that buyers can choose their own image for the cover.
Smolan has long been a force for exploring culture through photography. The Day in the Life photography series that he cofounded -- best-selling photo books that captured life in America, Australia, the Soviet Union ... -- were an '80s cultural phenomenon. (Rare was the coffee table without at least one of them.) In the 1990s his production company, Against All Odds, investigated the storytelling powers of interactive CD-ROMs with From Alice to Ocean, a narrative of a cross-Australia trek, and Passage to Vietnam, exploring that country as it opened up in the early 1990s. 24 Hours in Cyberspace took a snapshot of the booming industry in 1996, and One Digital Day in 1997 further explored our fascination with tech.
Along with collaborator Jennifer Erwitt, Smolan published the beautiful Blue Planet Run in 2007, about the drive to bring fresh drinking water to everyone on Earth. It's packed with glorious (and sometimes shocking) images and data about our planet's water. In an unprecedented move, Amazon.com offers Blue Planet Run as a free PDF download. Download the free PDF of Blue Planet Run >>
Smolan's latest work is The Obama Time Capsule, a collection of photographs and insights capturing the historical election of President Barack Obama, from the beginning of his campaign to his first 100 days in office.
