Five years ago, I stood on the TED stage,
and I spoke about my work.

五年前，我在TED的臺上
分享了我的作品。
分享了我的作品。
但一年後我在蘇格蘭，
遇到了一次可怕的意外。
遇到了一次可怕的意外。
00:17
But one year later,
1

1303
00:18
I had a terrible accident as I left a pub
one dark night with friends,
one dark night with friends,
2
6700

那天夜色昏暗，
我和朋友離開了酒吧。
我和朋友離開了酒吧。
00:22
in Scotland.

00:23
As we followed the path through a forest,
I suddenly felt a massive thud,
I suddenly felt a massive thud,
4
11870
4698
我们順著小路穿過一片樹林，
我突然感覺猛轟的一聲，
我突然感覺猛轟的一聲，
又轟的一聲，
00:28
then a second thud,
5
16592
1380
然後我就跌在了地上。
00:29
and I fell to the ground.
6
17996
1667
我完全不知道是什麽擊中了我，
00:31
I had no idea what had hit me.
7
19687
1984
00:34
I later found out that when
the gate was opened on a garden,
the gate was opened on a garden,
8
22211
4422
後來我才知道有個公園忘了關門，
00:38
a wild stag stampeded along the path
and ran straight into me.
and ran straight into me.
9
26657
4765
一頭牡鹿竄了出來，
結果就撞上了我。
結果就撞上了我。
00:44
Its antler penetrated my trachea
and my esophagus
and my esophagus
10
32054
3393
鹿角穿過我的氣管和食管，
直到我的脊椎。
直到我的脊椎。
00:47
and stopped at my spinal cord
and fractured my neck.
and fractured my neck.
11
35471
2895
我的脖子也因此骨折。
00:51
My best friend found me
lying on the floor,
lying on the floor,
12
39502
2249
我好朋友發現我時，我躺在地上，
從喉嚨的破洞中傳出咯咯聲求救。
00:53
gurgling for help
through a hole in my neck.
through a hole in my neck.
13
41775
2508
00:56
And we locked eyes,
and although I couldn't speak,
and although I couldn't speak,
14
44641
2682
我們四目交投，我說不出話，
但她能明白我在想些什麼。
00:59
she could understand what I was thinking.
15
47347
2016
01:01
And she told me, "Just breathe."
16
49387
2693
她和我說，「深呼吸就好」。
01:04
And so, whilst focusing on my breath,
I had a strong sense of calmness,
I had a strong sense of calmness,
17
52659
4061
我一心想著呼吸，頓時平靜了許多。
01:08
but I was certain that I was going to die.
18
56744
2369
但我很肯定，我這次死定了。
但不知怎地，我竟滿足於此。
01:11
Somehow, I was content with this,
19
59137
1644
01:12
because I've always tried
to do my best in life whenever I can.
to do my best in life whenever I can.
20
60805
3113
或許是因為我這一生
凡事都盡力而為吧。
凡事都盡力而為吧。
01:15
So I just continued to enjoy each breath
as one more moment --
as one more moment --
21
63942
3199
所以接下來的每次呼吸
我都格外珍惜——
我都格外珍惜——
吸進。呼出。
01:19
one breath in and one breath out.
22
67165
2076
01:21
An ambulance came,
I was still fully conscious,
I was still fully conscious,
23
69813
2349
救護車來的時候，
我依然神智清醒。
我依然神智清醒。
01:24
and I analyzed everything on the journey,
because I'm a scientist:
because I'm a scientist:
24
72186
3229
因為我是科學家，
我一路上不停分析著：
我一路上不停分析著：
01:27
the sound of the tires on the road,
the frequency of the street lights
the frequency of the street lights
25
75439
3349
輪胎在路上的聲音，
街燈閃過的次數，
街燈閃過的次數，
最後望見了城市的街燈，
01:30
and eventually, the city street lights.
26
78812
1939
我想：「或許我還能活下來。」
01:32
And I thought, "Maybe I will survive."
27
80775
2255
然後我就暈過去了。
01:35
And then I passed out.
28
83054
1745
01:38
I was stabilized at a local hospital
and then airlifted to Glasgow,
and then airlifted to Glasgow,
29
86046
4222
我在當地醫院穩定下來後，
就被空運去了格拉斯哥。
就被空運去了格拉斯哥。
他們需要重建我的喉嚨，
所以再次讓我昏睡過去。
所以再次讓我昏睡過去。
01:42
where they reconstructed my throat
and put me in a coma.
and put me in a coma.
30
90292
3419
01:46
And while I was in the coma,
I had many alternate realities.
I had many alternate realities.
31
94761
3199
我在昏睡中經歷了許多另類現實。
01:49
It was like a crazy mix
of "Westworld" and "Black Mirror."
of "Westworld" and "Black Mirror."
32
97984
3633
感覺有點像《西部世界》
和《黑鏡》的瘋狂結合，
和《黑鏡》的瘋狂結合，
01:53
But that's a whole other story.
33
101641
2066
但這裡我就不細說了。
01:56
My local TV station reported live
from outside the hospital
from outside the hospital
34
104165
3654
我們本地的電視台在醫院外直播：
01:59
of a Cambridge scientist
who was in a coma,
who was in a coma,
35
107843
3445
劍橋科學家陷入昏迷，生死未卜。
02:03
and they didn't know
if she would live or die or walk or talk.
if she would live or die or walk or talk.
36
111312
3759
他們也不太確定
我還能不能走動或講話。
我還能不能走動或講話。
02:07
And a week later,
I woke up from that coma.
I woke up from that coma.
37
115855
3019
一週後，我從昏迷中醒過來了。
02:12
And that was the first gift.
38
120163
1906
那是我收到的第一件禮物。
02:14
Then I had the gift to think,
the gift to move,
the gift to move,
39
122093
3151
我收到了更多大禮——
重獲了我思考、行動、
呼吸和吃喝的能力。
呼吸和吃喝的能力。
02:17
the gift to breathe
40
125268
2042
02:19
and the gift to eat and to drink.
41
127334
2123
這花了我大概三個半月的時間。
02:21
That took three and a half months.
42
129481
2288
但有件東西我卻拿不回來了，
02:24
But there was one thing
that I never got back, though,
that I never got back, though,
43
132339
2548
那就是我的隱私。
02:26
and that was my privacy.
44
134911
1729
02:28
The tabloid press
made the story about gender.
made the story about gender.
45
136664
2810
一些小報社開始拿我的性別來說事。
02:31
Look -- I'm transgender,
it's not that big a deal.
it's not that big a deal.
46
139498
3119
瞧，我是個跨性別者，
那沒什麼大不了。
那沒什麼大不了。
02:34
Like, my hair color or my shoe size
is way more interesting.
is way more interesting.
47
142641
4073
也許我頭髮的顏色
或我鞋子的大小都比這有趣。
或我鞋子的大小都比這有趣。
我上次在這裡發言時——
02:39
When I last spoke here --
48
147393
1454
02:40
(Applause)
49
148871
1151
（掌聲）
我上次在這裡發言時——
02:42
When I last spoke here --
50
150046
1199
02:43
(Applause)
51
151269
1165
（掌聲）
上次我在 TED 我沒提這事，
因為這很無聊。
因為這很無聊。
02:44
at TED, I didn't talk about it,
because it's boring.
because it's boring.
52
152458
2710
02:47
And one Scottish newspaper
ran with the headline:
ran with the headline:
53
155727
3079
一家蘇格蘭報紙
卻打出了以下標題：
卻打出了以下標題：
「變性科學家遭牡鹿抵傷」。
02:50
"Sex Swap Scientist Gored by Stag."
54
158830
2563
02:53
And five others did similar things.
55
161417
2223
另外五家報紙打的也是類似標題。
02:55
And for a minute, I was angry.
56
163664
1754
看到這些標題時我很生氣，
但很快地我就冷靜下來。
但很快地我就冷靜下來。
02:57
But then I found my calm place.
57
165442
2207
02:59
And what ran through my head was,
"They've crossed the wrong woman,
"They've crossed the wrong woman,
58
167673
3166
我想：「他們惹錯人了，
到時可能連怎麼死都不知道。」
到時可能連怎麼死都不知道。」
03:02
and they're not going to know
what's hit them."
what's hit them."
59
170863
2269
（笑聲）
03:05
(Laughter)
60
173156
1742
我是個善良的忍者。
03:06
I'm a kindness ninja.
61
174922
1207
03:08
I don't really know what a ninja does,
62
176153
1845
我並不真的知道忍者是幹什麼的，
03:10
but to me, they slip through the shadows,
crawl through the sewers,
crawl through the sewers,
63
178022
3184
但對我而言，
他們飛簷走壁，來去無蹤，
他們飛簷走壁，來去無蹤，
而且神出鬼沒，叫人防不勝防。
03:13
skip across the rooftops,
64
181230
1430
03:14
and before you know it,
they're behind you.
they're behind you.
65
182684
2012
他們獨來獨往，從無怨言，
一心只專注於他們的計劃。
一心只專注於他們的計劃。
03:16
They don't turn up
with an army or complain,
with an army or complain,
66
184720
2251
03:18
and they're laser-focused on a plan.
67
186995
1762
所以我躺在醫院的床上時，
03:20
So when I lay in my hospital bed,
68
188781
1803
03:22
I thought of my plan
to help reduce the chances
to help reduce the chances
69
190608
3025
我就計劃著要如何利用既有的體制，
03:25
of them doing this to somebody else,
70
193657
1849
讓媒體不再有機會這樣地去傷害別人。
03:27
by using the system as is, and paying
the price of sacrificing my privacy.
the price of sacrificing my privacy.
71
195530
5062
我決定賠上我自己的隱私。
他們告訴一百萬人的事，
我會跟一千萬人說。
我會跟一千萬人說。
03:32
What they told one million people,
I will tell 10 million people.
I will tell 10 million people.
72
200616
3887
你越是生氣攻擊，對方就越是防禦。
03:36
Because when you're angry,
people defend themselves.
people defend themselves.
73
204887
2474
所以我不攻擊他們，
他們也就無從防衛。
他們也就無從防衛。
03:39
So I didn't attack them,
74
207385
1360
03:40
and they were defenseless.
75
208769
1504
我寫了一些溫良平和的信給這些報社。
03:42
I wrote kind and calm letters
to these newspapers.
to these newspapers.
76
210297
3961
03:46
And The Sun newspaper,
the kind of "Fox News" of the UK,
the kind of "Fox News" of the UK,
77
214282
3254
結果我們英國的《太陽報》，
相當於你們美國的《福斯新聞》吧，
相當於你們美國的《福斯新聞》吧，
對我的「理性處理」表示感謝。
03:49
thanked me for my "reasoned approach."
78
217560
2636
03:52
I asked for no apology,
no retraction, no money,
no retraction, no money,
79
220696
3873
我既不要求對方道歉或收回言論，
也不要求金錢賠償。
也不要求金錢賠償。
03:56
just an acknowledgment
that they broke their own rules,
that they broke their own rules,
80
224593
2579
我只要求他們承認自己壞了規矩，
03:59
and what they did was just wrong.
81
227196
2383
並認清他們自己犯錯的事實。
04:03
And on this journey,
I started to learn who they are,
I started to learn who they are,
82
231022
3624
在這過程中，我開始了解他們，
他們也開始了解我。
他們也開始了解我。
04:06
and they began to learn who I am.
83
234670
2269
然後我們居然還成了朋友。
04:08
And we actually became friends.
84
236963
1810
04:10
I've even had a few glasses of wine
with Philippa from The Sun since then.
with Philippa from The Sun since then.
85
238797
3785
那之後我甚至還和太陽報的
菲莉帕一起喝過幾杯酒。
菲莉帕一起喝過幾杯酒。
三個月過後，他們一致同意了，
04:15
And after three months, they all agreed,
86
243273
2364
並在星期五發表了聲明，
整件事也就告一段落了。
整件事也就告一段落了。
04:17
and the statements
were published on a Friday,
were published on a Friday,
87
245661
2152
04:19
and that was the end of that.
88
247837
1388
至少他們認為是告一段落了。
04:21
Or so they thought.
89
249249
1247
隔天星期六，我上了晚間新聞，
04:22
On the Saturday,
I went on the evening news,
I went on the evening news,
90
250520
3077
04:25
with the headline "Six National
Newspapers Admit They Were Wrong."
Newspapers Admit They Were Wrong."
91
253621
4237
新聞的標題打著：
「六家全國性報社認錯了」。
「六家全國性報社認錯了」。
04:29
And the anchor said to me,
92
257882
1504
主持人問我：
04:31
"But don't you think
it's our job as journalists
it's our job as journalists
93
259410
2371
「但你不覺得我們記者也有責任
把故事說得生動一些嗎？」
把故事說得生動一些嗎？」
04:33
to sensationalize a story?"
94
261805
1790
04:35
And I said, "I was laying
on a forest floor, gored by a stag.
on a forest floor, gored by a stag.
95
263619
4770
我回答：「我被牡鹿抵傷，
躺在森林裡，這難道還不夠生動？」
躺在森林裡，這難道還不夠生動？」
04:40
Is that not sensational enough?"
96
268413
1563
04:42
(Laughter)
97
270000
2722
（笑聲）
我現在也寫標題了，
我最得意的是這個：
我最得意的是這個：
04:44
And I was now writing the headlines.
98
272746
1768
04:46
My favorite one was,
99
274538
1626
04:48
"The stag trampled on my throat,
and the press trampled on my privacy."
and the press trampled on my privacy."
100
276188
4230
「牡鹿踐踏我喉嚨，報社踐踏我隱私」。
04:52
It was the most read piece
of BBC News online that day.
of BBC News online that day.
101
280442
3270
這是當天最多人閱讀的
BBC 在線新聞。
BBC 在線新聞。
這麼做我其實有點樂在其中。
04:55
And I was kind of having fun.
102
283736
1753
04:58
And by the end of my week of media,
103
286379
1778
經過我這「媒體瘋狂炒作的一週」後，
05:00
I started to use my newfound
voice and platform
voice and platform
104
288181
2880
我開始用我新發現的聲音與平台
來散播關於愛與善良的訊息。
來散播關於愛與善良的訊息。
05:03
to spread a message of love and kindness.
105
291085
2158
05:05
And when I had the minute
of anger and hatred
of anger and hatred
106
293608
3064
每當我對報社或記者又有所憤恨時，
05:08
towards those press and journalists,
107
296696
1826
我就要找出自己內心對他們的偏見，
05:10
I had to identify my inner
bigotry towards them.
bigotry towards them.
108
298546
3954
並不帶偏見地與這些人見面及對話。
05:15
And I had to meet and speak
with these people
with these people
109
303188
2460
05:17
without judgment.
110
305672
1150
我需要讓自己更了解他們，
反過來他們也會開始了解我。
反過來他們也會開始了解我。
05:19
I had to let myself understand them,
111
307482
2143
05:21
and in return, they began
to understand me.
to understand me.
112
309649
2714
六個月過後，他們邀我
加入監管報社的委員會。
加入監管報社的委員會。
05:24
Well, six months later, they asked me
to join the committee
to join the committee
113
312919
2904
05:27
that regulates the press.
114
315847
1666
05:30
And a few times a year,
I sip tea and dip biscuits
I sip tea and dip biscuits
115
318679
3531
然後，我一年至少會有好幾次
都會和那些媒體人喝茶聊天。
都會和那些媒體人喝茶聊天。
05:34
with the likes of Daily Mail editor
Paul Dacre, who says to me,
Paul Dacre, who says to me,
116
322234
3419
比如，每日郵報的編輯
保羅·戴克，他問過我：
保羅·戴克，他問過我：
05:37
"So, Kate, how have
your last few months been?"
your last few months been?"
117
325677
2630
「凱特啊，你最近幾個月過得怎樣？」
05:40
And I respect them.
118
328863
1321
我尊重他們。
我現在之所以是委員會裡的
三個公眾代表之一，
三個公眾代表之一，
05:42
And I'm now one of three
members of the public
members of the public
119
330490
2183
05:44
who has a seat at the table --
120
332697
1579
並不是因為我有什麼與眾不同，
05:46
not because I'm different,
121
334300
1587
05:47
but because my voice counts,
just like anybody else.
just like anybody else.
122
335911
3192
而是因為我和每個人一樣，
都有一把值得重視的聲音。
都有一把值得重視的聲音。
05:51
And the irony is,
123
339521
1500
諷刺的是，
現在不時地還會有人
邀請我去參觀印刷廠，
邀請我去參觀印刷廠，
05:53
every now and again, I'm asked
to visit those printing presses
to visit those printing presses
124
341045
2960
這是個正在衰退的行業。
05:56
of this declining industry,
125
344029
1866
05:57

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kate Stone - Shepherd of electronsAt Novalia, Kate Stone and her team use ordinary printing presses to manufacture interactive electronics, which combine touch-sensitive ink technology and printed circuits into unique and cost-effective products.
Why you should listen
Born in Cheshire, England and the child of a continent-hopping engineer, Kate Stone was often left to her own devices among some of the world's most disparate cultures. Whether learning to cook rice from Gurkhas or spending time alongside a garageful of car repairmen in Borneo, Stone quickly learned that nontraditional problem-solving was often the very best kind.
At 20, Stone moved to Australia and eventually to the outback, where she was soon herding 22,000 sheep on a 120,000-acre farm. She then returned to England and began her studies in electronics at Salford University, before being recruited to do her PhD work in physics at Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory, where her focus on moving electrons eventually led to the creation of her groundbreaking company, Novalia.
At Novalia, Stone says: "The work of my team and myself is the realization of my childhood fascinations. We put electronics into paper, and paper is all around us." Stone sees herself as a "creative scientist," blending art and science to create startling fusions of new and old technology. In addition to her work with Novalia, Stone is a member of the Editors Code of Practice committee.
