我欲与你们分享一个故事，
00:18
as to how I have become
1
3000
2000
它将告诉你们我是如何成为一名
00:20
an HIV/AIDS campaigner.
2
5000
3000
艾滋病社运人士。
00:23
And this is the name of my campaign: SING Campaign.
3
8000
3000
这就是我发起得运动，SING运动。
00:27
In November of 2003,
4
12000
2000
2003年11月，
00:29
I was invited to take part
5
14000
2000
我获邀参加
00:31
in the launch of Nelson Mandela's
6
16000
2000
纳尔逊·曼德拉发起得
00:33
46664 Foundation --
7
18000
3000
46664基金会的奠基典礼。
00:36
that is his HIV/AIDS foundation.
8
21000
2000
这也是一个艾滋病基金会。
00:38
And 46664 is the number
9
23000
2000
46664则是曼德拉于罗本岛
00:40
that Mandela had when he was imprisoned in Robben Island.
10
25000
3000
监狱的囚号。
00:44
And that's me with Youssou N'Dour,
11
29000
2000
在舞台上，与我站一起的则是尤索·恩多
00:46
onstage, having the time of my life.
12
31000
3000
我们俩正享受着生命中最辉煌的一刻。
00:51
The next day, all the artists were invited
13
36000
2000
第二天，所有到场艺术家皆被
00:53
to join Mandela in Robben Island,
14
38000
3000
邀至罗本岛，以参加曼德拉
00:56
where he was going to give a conference
15
41000
2000
所举办的新闻发布会，
00:58
to the world's press,
16
43000
3000
而曼德拉他则站在
01:01
standing in front of his former prison cell.
17
46000
2000
他以前的囚室窗外。
01:03
You can see the bars of the window there.
18
48000
3000
你们还可清晰地看到囚窗上的栅栏。
01:06
It was quite a momentous occasion for all of us.
19
51000
3000
那会，对于我们来说皆是重大时刻。
01:09
In that moment in time,
20
54000
2000
在那时，
01:11
Mandela told the world's press
21
56000
3000
曼德拉向各国媒体宣告
01:14
that there was a virtual genocide
22
59000
2000
南非正经历一场大屠杀，
01:16
taking place in his country;
23
61000
2000
那有彩虹之国美誉的
01:18
that post-apartheid
24
63000
2000
南非，
01:20
Rainbow Nation,
25
65000
2000
每天皆有
01:22
a thousand people were dying on a daily basis
26
67000
3000
逾千人死亡，
01:25
and that the front line victims,
27
70000
2000
而那些亟待救援的人士中，
01:27
the most vulnerable of all,
28
72000
2000
最需要帮助的都是
01:29
were women and children.
29
74000
3000
妇孺之辈。
01:32
This was a huge impact on my mind,
30
77000
3000
这大大地影响了我，
01:35
because I am a woman and I am a mother,
31
80000
3000
因为我也身为女人，也是一位母亲，
01:38
and I hadn't realized
32
83000
2000
而我却还未觉察到
01:40
that the HIV/AIDS pandemic
33
85000
2000
这场艾滋瘟疫
01:42
was directly affecting women in such a way.
34
87000
3000
已肆虐到此种地步，能直接影响到女人们的生活。
01:45
And so I committed -- when I left South Africa,
35
90000
2000
当我离开开普敦，离开南非之时，
01:47
when I left Capetown,
36
92000
2000
我作出许诺
01:49
I told myself, "This is going to be something
37
94000
2000
说：“我将为之
01:51
that I have to talk about.
38
96000
2000
奔走告语，
01:53
I have to serve."
39
98000
2000
为之服务。”
01:55
And so, subsequently
40
100000
2000
随后，
01:57
I participated in every single
41
102000
2000
我参加了每场
01:59
46664 event
42
104000
2000
我能参加的
02:01
that I could take part in
43
106000
2000
46664聚会、
02:03
and gave news conferences,
44
108000
2000
及各种会议
02:05
interviews,
45
110000
2000
和采访，
02:07
talking and using my platform as a musician,
46
112000
3000
从而发挥一位歌手所能及的功用，
02:10
with my commitment to Mandela --
47
115000
2000
以回应我向曼德拉作出的承诺，
02:12
out of respect for the tremendous,
48
117000
3000
因为我敬仰他
02:15
unbelievable work that he had done.
49
120000
2000
所做出的伟大业绩。
02:17
Everyone in the world respects Nelson Mandela,
50
122000
3000
世上无人不敬仰曼德拉。
02:20
everyone reveres Nelson Mandela.
51
125000
2000
所有人皆尊崇曼德拉。
02:22
But do they all know
52
127000
2000
但他们知道
02:24
about what has been taking place in South Africa,
53
129000
2000
曼德拉的故乡南非
02:26
his country,
54
131000
2000
正饱经病毒侵袭吗？
02:29
the country that had one of the highest incidents
55
134000
2000
南非的病毒传染率
02:31
of transmission of the virus?
56
136000
2000
是世界最高的。
02:33
I think that if I went out into the street now
57
138000
3000
假若我现在走出这个大堂，
02:36
and I told people what was happening there,
58
141000
2000
随意向一位路人告知南非现状，
02:38
they would be shocked.
59
143000
3000
他会大吃一惊。
02:41
I was very, very fortunate a couple of years later
60
146000
3000
几年之后，我非常有幸地
02:44
to have met Zackie Achmat,
61
149000
2000
见到了扎基·阿克莫(Zackie Achmat)，
02:46
the founder of Treatment Action Campaign,
62
151000
2000
他是Treatment Action运动的发起者，
02:48
an incredible campaigner and activist.
63
153000
3000
他是一位了不起的社运人士及人权活跃分子。
02:51
I met him at a 46664 event.
64
156000
2000
我是于一场46664聚会上见到他的。
02:53
He was wearing a t-shirt like the one I wear now.
65
158000
2000
他当时穿的体恤衫与我现在穿的很像。
02:55
This is a tool --
66
160000
2000
这是一件工具。
02:57
this tells you I am in solidarity
67
162000
2000
这件工具告知你们我正
02:59
with people who have HIV,
68
164000
3000
和艾滋病患者
03:02
people who are living with HIV.
69
167000
2000
并肩作战中。
03:04
And in a way because of the stigma, by wearing this t-shirt
70
169000
3000
由于艾滋病的昭著臭名，我们可以通过穿上这件体恤衫
03:07
I say, "Yes, we can talk about this issue.
71
172000
3000
说：“我们当然可以谈论这个话题。
03:10
It doesn't have to be in the closet."
72
175000
3000
它又不是什么见不得人的东西。”
03:13
I became a member of Treatment Action Campaign
73
178000
3000
我由焉成为Treatment Action运动的一位会员，
03:16
and I'm very proud to be a member
74
181000
2000
我为成为这不凡组织的
03:18
of that incredible organization.
75
183000
2000
一份子而感到自豪。
03:20
It's a grassroots campaign
76
185000
2000
这是一场草根运动，
03:22
with 80 percent membership being women,
77
187000
3000
百分八十的会员皆为女性，
03:25
most of whom are HIV-positive.
78
190000
3000
大多数皆是艾滋病阳性。
03:28
They work in the field.
79
193000
2000
但他们仍艰苦劳作。
03:30
They have tremendous outreach
80
195000
3000
他们与那些患病者
03:33
to the people who are living directly
81
198000
2000
有很大面积的
03:35
with the effects of the virus.
82
200000
2000
接触交往。
03:37
They have education programs.
83
202000
3000
他们还有教育项目。
03:40
They bring out the issues of stigma.
84
205000
3000
他们认为艾滋病不该成为人人回避的社会标签。
03:43
It's quite extraordinary what they do.
85
208000
3000
他们所干成的事真是了不起。
03:46
And yes, my SING Campaign
86
211000
2000
同时，我的SING运动
03:48
has supported Treatment Action Campaign
87
213000
2000
也支持Treatment Action运动，
03:50
in the way that I have tried to raise awareness
88
215000
3000
我们则是通过宣传艾滋病常识
03:53
and to try to also raise funds.
89
218000
2000
及募款来支援他们。
03:55
A lot of the funding that I have managed to raise
90
220000
2000
我们所募集的款项大部分皆捐给了
03:57
has gone directly to Treatment Action Campaign
91
222000
2000
Treatment Action运动，
03:59
and the incredible work that they do,
92
224000
2000
以支持他们的惊人成就，
04:01
and are still continuing to do in South Africa.
93
226000
3000
而他们也准备在南非发起这个运动。
04:04
So this is my SING Campaign.
94
229000
2000
这就是我的SING运动。
04:06
SING Campaign is basically just me
95
231000
2000
SING运动只包括我
04:08
and about three or four wonderful people
96
233000
2000
及三到四位能人，
04:10
who help to support me.
97
235000
2000
他们都是来帮助我的。
04:12
I've traveled all over the world
98
237000
2000
我于两年半里
04:14
in the last two and a half years --
99
239000
2000
环游世界了。
04:16
I went to about 12 different countries.
100
241000
2000
我去了十二个国家。
04:18
Here I am in Oslo in Norway,
101
243000
2000
这是在挪威奥斯陆，
04:20
getting a nice, fat check;
102
245000
3000
在那里我得获一份慷慨地捐赠，
04:23
singing in Hong Kong, trying to get people to raise money.
103
248000
3000
这是在香港开演唱会以募集捐款。
04:26
In Johannesburg, I had the opportunity to play
104
251000
3000
这是在约翰内斯堡，我有机会为
04:29
to a mainly white, middle-class South African audience
105
254000
2000
南非中产阶级白人开演唱会，
04:31
who ended up in tears
106
256000
2000
他们最后都泪流满面，
04:33
because I use film clips
107
258000
2000
因为演唱会中我放映了一次短影片。
04:35
that really touch the heart, the whole nature,
108
260000
2000
这个短影片触摸到了他们内心最柔软的地方，
04:37
of this terrible tragedy that is taking place,
109
262000
3000
让他们了解到了南非所发生的惨剧，
04:40
that people are tending to avoid,
110
265000
2000
但大多人皆不愿得知，
04:42
because they are fatigued,
111
267000
2000
因为他们倦怠了，
04:44
and they really don't quite know what the solutions are.
112
269000
3000
而且他们也不知道怎么办。
04:47
Aaron Motsoaledi, the current health minister,
113
272000
2000
亚伦·莫梭累迪也到了这场演唱会，
04:49
attended that concert
114
274000
2000
他是南非现任卫生部部长，
04:51
and I had an opportunity to meet with him,
115
276000
2000
因此我趁机与他一会，
04:53
and he gave his absolute commitment
116
278000
2000
他当场向我作出承诺
04:55
to try to making a change,
117
280000
2000
要改变现状，
04:57
which is absolutely necessary.
118
282000
2000
这正是我们所需的。
04:59
This is in the Scottish Parliament.
119
284000
2000
这是在苏格兰议会里。
05:01
I've subsequently become an envoy
120
286000
2000
在此会议后，我成为了苏格兰及
05:03
for Scotland and HIV.
121
288000
2000
艾滋病社运人士的公使。
05:05
And I was showing them my experiences
122
290000
2000
我在那宣扬了我的经历
05:07
and trying to, again, raise awareness.
123
292000
3000
以提高他们的警惕意识。
05:10
And once again, in Edinburgh
124
295000
2000
这是在爱丁堡，
05:12
with the wonderful African Children's Choir who I simply adore.
125
297000
3000
与我所钟爱的非洲儿童合唱团在一起。
05:15
And it's children like this, many of whom have been orphaned
126
300000
3000
其中成员多为孤儿，
05:18
because of their family being affected
127
303000
3000
因他们父母皆被艾滋病
05:21
by the AIDS virus.
128
306000
2000
感染了。
05:23
I'm sitting here in New York with Michel Sidibe --
129
308000
3000
这是在纽约，我正和米歇尔·西迪贝(Michel Sidibe)坐一起。
05:26
he's the director of UNAIDS.
130
311000
2000
他是联合国艾滋病规划署(UNAIDS)执行主任。
05:28
And I'm very honored
131
313000
2000
我为此处邀请
05:30
by the fact that Michel invited me,
132
315000
2000
而感到光荣，
05:32
only a few months ago,
133
317000
2000
就在几个月前，
05:34
to become a UNAIDS ambassador.
134
319000
2000
我成为了联合国艾滋病规划署大使。
05:36
And in this way, I've been strengthening my platform
135
321000
3000
通过这些方式，我加强了我的影响力，
05:39
and broadening my outreach.
136
324000
2000
及增强了人们的认知度。
05:41
The message that UNAIDS
137
326000
2000
联合国艾滋病规划署欲向世界
05:43
are currently sending out to the world
138
328000
2000
传达的消息则是
05:45
is that we would like to see the virtual elimination
139
330000
3000
他们希望能于2015年前
05:48
of the transmission of the virus
140
333000
2000
看到母婴之间的病毒传播
05:50
from mother to child by 2015.
141
335000
3000
被完全消除。
05:53
It's a very ambitious goal
142
338000
2000
非常有野心的一个目标，
05:55
but we believe it can be achieved with political will.
143
340000
3000
但我们相信通过政府参与，我们就能达成目标。
05:58
This can happen.
144
343000
2000
这可以发生。
06:00
And here I am with a pregnant woman,
145
345000
2000
这是我和一位阳性艾滋病
06:02
who is HIV positive
146
347000
2000
母亲的照片，她怀孕了，
06:04
and we're smiling, both of us are smiling, because we're very confident,
147
349000
3000
但我们皆笑容满面，因为我们确信
06:07
because we know that that young woman
148
352000
3000
她能获得治疗
06:10
is receiving treatment
149
355000
2000
以延长她的生命，
06:12
so her life can be extended
150
357000
2000
同时，她的孩子
06:14
to take care of the baby she's about to give birth to.
151
359000
3000
也会被照料。
06:17
And her baby will receive PMTCT,
152
362000
3000
她的孩子会获得艾滋病母婴传播阻断
06:20
which will mean that that baby
153
365000
2000
治疗，这意味着
06:22
can be born free of the virus.
154
367000
2000
孩子生下来将不带有艾滋病病毒。
06:24
Now that is prevention
155
369000
2000
从生命伊始就获得
06:26
at the very beginning of life.
156
371000
2000
各种保护。
06:28
It's one way to start looking at intervention
157
373000
3000
这是政府干预这场艾滋病瘟疫的
06:31
with the AIDS pandemic.
158
376000
2000
一种方法。
06:33
Now, I just would like to finish off
159
378000
2000
我现在想用另一个故事
06:35
to tell you the little story
160
380000
2000
来结束这场演讲，
06:37
about Avelile.
161

阿维利尔的母亲
06:53

398000
2000
是携有艾滋病病毒。
06:55
she died
170
400000
2000
她因艾滋病
06:57
from AIDS-related illness.
171
402000
2000
并发症而死。
06:59
Avelile had the virus,
172
404000
2000
阿维利尔也有艾滋病病毒。
07:01
she was born with the virus.
173
406000
2000
她一生下来就有。
07:03
And here she is at seven years old,
174
408000
3000
这就是她七岁时的照片，
07:06
weighing no more than a one year-old baby.
175
411000
2000
她还没一个一岁大的婴儿重。
07:08
At this point in her life,
176
413000
2000
这就是她人生的转折点，
07:10
she's suffering with full-blown AIDS
177
415000
2000
她正被艾滋病魔折磨着，
07:12
and had pneumonia.
178
417000
2000
而且还患有肺炎。
07:14
We met her in a hospital in the Eastern Cape
179
419000
3000
我们是在东开普省的一间医院中见着她，
07:17
and spent a whole afternoon with her -- an adorable child.
180
422000
3000
我们与她一起度过了一个下午的时光，她是一位可爱的女孩。
07:20
The doctors and nurses were phenomenal.
181
425000
2000
那里的护士和医生都很了不起。
07:22
They put her on very special nutritious diet
182
427000
3000
他们为阿维利尔设计了一种特殊的营养食谱，
07:25
and took great care of her.
183
430000
3000
同时还悉心照顾她。
07:28
And we didn't know when we left the hospital --
184
433000
2000
当我们离开这间医院时
07:30
because we filmed her story -- we didn't know if she was going to survive.
185
435000
3000
我们却无法预料她前程如何，即使我们为她拍摄了一部影片。
07:33
So, it was obviously -- it was a very emotional encounter
186
438000
3000
很显然，这次会面
07:36
and left us feeling very resonant
187
441000
2000
对我们产生剧烈影响，
07:38
with this direct experience, this one child,
188
443000
3000
就是这种直接接触的震撼景象
07:41
you know, that story.
189
446000
2000
让我们引起共鸣。
07:43
Five months later,
190
448000
3000
五个月后，
07:46
we went back to South Africa
191
451000
2000
我们再次回到南非
07:48
to meet Avelile again.
192
453000
3000
以期见到阿维利尔。
07:51
And I'm getting --
193
456000
2000
当时我手臂上的毛发，
07:53
the hairs on my -- I don't know if you can see the hairs on my arms.
194
458000
2000
不知道你们看不看得见，
07:55
They're standing up because I know what I'm going to show you.
195
460000
3000
但毛发们皆根根竖起，因为它们知道我所要带给你们的震撼。
07:58
This is the transformation that took place.
196
463000
3000
这就是她所发生的变化。
08:03
Isn't it extraordinary?
197
468000
2000
是不是很了不起呢？
08:05
(Applause)
198
470000
10000
(掌声)
08:15
That round of applause is actually
199
480000
2000
这些掌声应是为那些护士和医生
08:17
for the doctors and nurses of the hospital who took care of Avelile.
200
482000
3000
而响起来的。
08:20
And I take it that you appreciate that kind of transformation.
201
485000
3000
我认为你们都为这种转变而感到欣慰。
08:24
So, I would like to say to you,

493000
3000
假若你们希望
08:31

而且你们认同联合国千年目标，尤其是
08:41
specifically five and six,
209
506000
2000
第五和第六项目标，
08:43
should be absolutely committed to
210
508000
3000
而且希望所有国家政府
08:46
by all governments around the world --
211
511000
2000
皆能对此作出承诺，
08:48
especially in sub-Saharan Africa --

513000
2000
那么请你们
08:50
could you please stand up.
213
515000
2000
站起来。
08:58
I think that's fair to say,
214
523000
2000
好吧，我认为在场的所有人
09:00
it's almost everyone in the hall.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Annie Lennox - Activist, singer-songwriterThe most successful female British pop musician in history, Annie Lennox has now committed herself to raising awareness of, and supporting actions against, the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa.
Why you should listen
After decades of global fame as part of Eurythmics and as a solo artist, Annie Lennox was moved by Nelson Mandela's call to stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa, where it disproportionately affects women and children. She founded the SING campaign in 2007 to raise both awareness and money. "This is an illness that has a lot of stigma," Lennox says on her video blog. "What we need to do is normalize HIV."
Drawing on her talents, she combines music and film to put a human face on the crisis and emotionally connect people to the cause. South Africa has a tradition of activist songs and singing; inspired by this, in spring 2007 Lennox invited 23 female artists to record the benefit single "Sing." The record incorporates the South African activist song "Jikelele," which means "global treatment." So far, sales of "Sing" have raised 100,000 pounds, while other appearances since then have multiplied that sum. SING's money goes to support efforts such as the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), which works to fight mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Lennox is active in many other causes, both personal and political; in 2008 she was awarded the Services to Humanity Award by the British Red Cross.
