無論你討厭還是熱愛槍枝，事實是，如果槍枝不是日以繼夜地賣給這些未通過背景審查的人，美國一定會更安全。丹·格羅斯，致力於預防槍枝暴力的布萊德利運動主席，表述一個九成美國人都支持的訴求：對購槍人士進行背景調查。「世界歷史的每個偉大改變中，總有一個關鍵時刻讓人們在回想的時候說：‘事情從那刻開始不同'。」格羅斯說。「結束美國槍枝暴力的時刻，就是現在。」

好的 首先我要坦承
00:14
I've always been weirdly
obsessed with advertising.
obsessed with advertising.
1

我對廣告一直有著異乎尋常的著迷
00:20
I remember watching
Saturday morning cartoons,
Saturday morning cartoons,

我記得小時候在星期六早上看卡通時
00:23
paying more attention to the commercials
3
11330
2133
我花在廣告上的注意力
00:25
than to the shows,
4
13487
1307
比真正的節目還要多
00:26
trying to figure out how they were trying
to get inside my head.
to get inside my head.
5
14818
3090
我試著弄明白廣告是怎麼把信息植入我腦中的
00:29
Ultimately, that led me to my dream job.
6
17932
2079
而這一興趣最終將我帶向了我的
00:32
I became a partner
at a big New York ad agency.
at a big New York ad agency.
7
20035
3278
我成了紐約一間大型廣告公司的合夥人
00:35
But then, all of that suddenly changed
on February 23, 1997,
on February 23, 1997,
8
23337
6189
但在1997年2月23號
一夕之間風雲變色
一夕之間風雲變色
00:41
when my little brother Matt
was shot in the head
was shot in the head
9
29550
3348
那天我的弟弟馬特
00:44
in a shooting that happened
on the observation deck
on the observation deck
10
32922
2825
在帝國大廈觀景台的槍擊案中
00:47
of the Empire State Building.
11
35771
2116
被射中頭部
00:49
Suddenly, my family was thrown
into the middle of a nightmare,
into the middle of a nightmare,
12
37911
5162
霎時 我們全家掉入了無底的噩夢
00:55
being told that my brother
was going to die,
was going to die,
13
43097
4130
我們被告知我的弟弟將要死去
00:59
actually being given the opportunity
to say goodbye to him,
to say goodbye to him,
14
47251
3676
並讓我們向他告別
01:02
then several emergency brain surgeries
15
50951
2350
接著在經歷了幾場緊急的腦部手術後
馬特之後的一生
01:05
and now what's amounted, for Matt,
16
53325
2651
01:08
to a lifetime spent courageously
recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
recovering from a traumatic brain injury.
17
56000
6246
都得和嚴重腦部創傷纏鬥
01:14
He is definitely my hero.
18
62270
2014
他絕對是我的英雄
01:17
But as much as (Applause) --
yeah, deserves it --
yeah, deserves it --
19
65101
2342
但當 (掌聲)
是的 他值得我們尊敬
是的 他值得我們尊敬
01:19
(Applause)
20
67467
5106
(掌聲)
01:24
But as much as this tragedy
was a nightmare for my family,
was a nightmare for my family,
21
72597
5603
但即便我們家遇到這種悲劇
01:30
I often think about how much worse
it could have been;
it could have been;
22
78224
2551
我卻時常想著這情況原本也許會更糟
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
事實上 每天都有90個家庭
01:37
who aren't as fortunate,
24
85882
1880
會遭逢這樣的不幸
01:39
who lose loved ones -- brothers,
sisters, sons, daughters, parents.
sisters, sons, daughters, parents.
25
87786
6208
他們失去摯愛的親人
兄弟姊妹 妻兒老小
兄弟姊妹 妻兒老小
01:46
They don't all make national headlines.
26
94018
2501
這樣的悲劇不會登上全國新聞
01:48
In fact, most of them don't.
27
96543
1642
或者說 大多數情況下得不到關注
01:50
They go largely unnoticed,
28
98209
2072
他們的不幸常常被忽視
01:52
in a nation that's kind of come to accept
a disgraceful national epidemic
a disgraceful national epidemic
29
100305
6599
這個國家已經將這件可恥的慘劇
01:58
as some kind of new normal.
30
106928
3398
視為不足為奇的常態
02:02
So I quit my job in advertising
31
110800
2346
所以我辭了廣告的工作
02:05
to try and do something about
this disgraceful national epidemic,
this disgraceful national epidemic,
32
113170
5102
試著對這不名譽
的全國性瘟疫做點什麼
的全國性瘟疫做點什麼
02:10
because I came to realize
33
118296
1197
因為我發覺
02:11
that the challenges
to preventing gun violence
to preventing gun violence
34
119517
3113
杜絕槍械暴力所帶來的挑戰
02:14
are actually the same ones
that made me love advertising,
that made me love advertising,
35
122654
3665
正如同我所鍾愛的廣告
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
差別是廣告賣的是商品
02:23
doing it to save lives.
38
131477
1780
我們賣的是救命
02:25
And that comes down to
finding common ground,
finding common ground,
39
133726
4923
我要找的是共通點
02:30
where what I want overlaps
with what you want.
with what you want.
40
138673
4009
也就是我想要的
和你想要的有所重疊
和你想要的有所重疊
02:34
And you might be surprised to learn,
when it comes to gun violence,
when it comes to gun violence,
41
142706
3206
你可能會訝異，
講到槍械暴力
講到槍械暴力
02:37
just how much common ground there is.
42
145936
2047
我們有著眾多共同的想法
02:40
Let's look, for example,
at people who love to hunt,
at people who love to hunt,
43
148007
2985
舉個例子，
對於數百萬的國民

打獵是個大家喜愛的休閒運動
02:46
It's a proud tradition. Families.
45
154222
2640
打獵是光榮的家族傳統
02:48
In some places,
46
156886
1154
有些地方
02:50
the first day of hunting season
is actually a school holiday.

47
158064
3252
打獵季的第一天
學生可以放假
學生可以放假
02:53
What do hunters want?
48
161821
1440
獵人們要的是什麼?
02:55
Well, they want to hunt.
They love their guns.
They love their guns.
49
163285
2348
他們要的是能打獵，
他們喜愛他們的槍
他們喜愛他們的槍
02:57
They believe deeply
50
165657
1200
他們深深相信
02:58
in the Second Amendment right
to own those guns.
to own those guns.
51
166881
2492
第二修正案給他們擁槍的權力
03:01
But that doesn't mean
there isn't common ground.
there isn't common ground.
52
169397
2279
但這並不代表我
和他們的想法毫無重疊
和他們的想法毫無重疊
03:03
In fact, there's a lot of it,
53
171700
1428
事實上，多如牛毛
03:05
starting with the basic idea
of keeping guns out of dangerous hands.
of keeping guns out of dangerous hands.
54
173152
5404
從避免槍枝落入有心人士手中的
基本概念開始講起
基本概念開始講起
03:10
This isn't about taking
certain guns away from all people.
certain guns away from all people.
55
178580
4814
這並不代表把槍從所有人手上奪走
03:15
It's about keeping all guns
away from certain people,
away from certain people,
56
183418
2876
而只是針對特定人士
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
我們對誰不該擁槍也有共識

We can all appreciate
60
195205
1151
我們感謝

how Brady background checks

20年內，布雷迪背景調查法

我們都不能接受的槍枝交易
03:45
(Applause)
66
213463

(掌聲)
03:49
And whether you love guns or hate guns,
you probably also appreciate

67
217410
4197
不論你喜不喜歡槍，
03:53
that there shouldn't be thousands
of gun sales every day
of gun sales every day
68
221631
3176
都可能不會希望
03:56
at guns shows or online
69
224831
1846
每天有數千支槍從槍展或網購
03:58
without those Brady background checks,
70
226701
1859
賣給那些未經背景審查的人
04:00
just like there shouldn't be two lines
to get on an airplane --
to get on an airplane --
71
228584
3000
就像搭飛機不該有兩條線
04:03
one with security

而...
04:07
(Applause)

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

而統計數字也表現了
美國大眾壓倒性的贊成:

過70%美國全國步槍協會會員
04:25
This is not a controversial idea.
80
253929
1914
這個想法並非爭論議題
04:27
In fact, only six percent
of the American public disagrees.
of the American public disagrees.
81
255867
3576
只有6%的美國人反對
04:31
That's about the percentage
of the American public
of the American public
82
259467
2365
就大概跟認為登陸月球
04:33
that believes the moon landing was a fake.
83
261856
2189
是假的的人數差不多
04:36
(Laughter)
84
264069
1365
(笑聲)
04:37
And it's also about the percentage
that believes the government
that believes the government
85
265458
2972
也跟認為政府在電視訊號
04:40
is putting mind-controlling technology
in our TV broadcast signals.
in our TV broadcast signals.
86
268454
3959
加入洗腦技術的人數差不多
04:44
That's the extent to which we agree
about background checks.
about background checks.
87
272437
2827
這就是我們對背景調查的認同程度
04:47
But what about the 300 million guns
88
275288
3548
那麼那3億支
04:50
already out there in homes across America?
89
278860
2396
已經流入市面的槍呢?
04:53
Well first, it's important to realize
90
281280
1770
首先我們必須知道
04:55
that those guns are mostly
in the hands and homes
in the hands and homes
91
283074
4338
那些槍多數都在
奉公守法的好公民
奉公守法的好公民
04:59
of decent, law-abiding people
like you and me,
like you and me,
92
287436
2940
就像我們的手中
05:02
who want what we all want --
including keeping our families safe.
including keeping our families safe.
93
290400
4271
我們用槍來保衛家人安全
05:06
In fact, that's why more and more people
are choosing to own guns.
are choosing to own guns.
94
294695
3985
這也是越來越多人
選擇買槍的原因
選擇買槍的原因
05:10
Ten years ago, 42 percent
of the American public
of the American public
95
298704
4335
10 年前，42% 的美國人認為--
05:15
believed -- incorrectly -- that a gun
makes your home safer.
makes your home safer.
96
303063
4277
--錯誤的認為--有槍等於安全
05:19
Today, that number is 63 percent.
97
307364
3643
今天，這個數字成長到 63%
05:23
Why?
98
311784
1152
為什麼?
05:24
I kind of hate to say it,
99
312960
1198
我不怎麼想這麼說
05:26
because it gets to the dark
underbelly of advertising,
underbelly of advertising,
100
314182
2590
這是因為廣告的黑暗效能
05:28
which is if you tell
a big enough lie enough times,
a big enough lie enough times,
101
316796
2428
如果你講一個謊話夠多次
05:31
eventually that lie becomes the truth.
102
319248
1841
它最終也會積非成是
05:33
And that's exactly what's happened here.
103
321113
1947
而這件事正在發生
05:35
The corporate gun lobby
has spent billions of dollars
has spent billions of dollars
104
323084
2542
軍火商花了數十億美元
05:37
blocking the CDC from doing research
into the public health epidemic
into the public health epidemic
105
325650
3325
阻止疾病管制署進行
05:40
of gun violence;
106
328999
1661
槍枝暴力研究；
05:42
blocking pediatricians
from talking to parents
from talking to parents
107
330684
2160
阻止小兒科醫師跟家長講
05:44
about the dangers of guns in the home;
108
332868
1811
有槍在家對小孩的危險性；
05:46
blocking smart-gun technology
and other technology
and other technology
109
334703
2369
阻止能夠防止小孩用家長的槍、
05:49
that would prevent kids
from firing parents' guns
from firing parents' guns
110
337096
2671
並可以拯救生命
05:51
and would save lives.
111
339791
1563
的智慧槍枝科技
05:53
They're desperate to hide the truth,
112
341812
2269
他們費盡心思隱瞞事實
05:56
because they view the truth
as a threat to their bottom line.
as a threat to their bottom line.
113
344105
4278
因為事實威脅到了他們的底線
06:00
And every day,
114
348407
1161
也是因此，
06:01
people are dying as a result.
115
349592
1595
每一天都有人被槍殺
06:03
And a lot of those people are children.
116
351211
2491
他們多數都是小孩
06:06
Every day in the US,
117
354108
2337
在美國，
06:08
nine kids are just shot unintentionally.
118
356469
3189
每天有9名孩童莫名其妙被殺
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名小孩或青少年舉槍自盡
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，他們多半用的是家長的槍
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
甚至二分之三的校園射擊案
的凶槍都是家裡帶來的
的凶槍都是家裡帶來的
06:28
including the terrible tragedy
122
376259
1685
這包含了桑迪·胡克小學槍擊案
06:29
at Sandy Hook.
123
377968
1276
那場悲劇
06:31
I meet so many of these parents;
124
379562
1963
我遇過太多受害者家長
06:33
it's the most heartbreaking
part of my job.
part of my job.
125
381549
2380
--這是我工作最令人心碎的部分--
06:36
These are not bad people.
126
384379
2534
他們也沒殺人放火
06:39
They're just living with the unimaginable
consequences of a very bad decision,
consequences of a very bad decision,
127
387476
5215
只是受到由一群惡人
06:44
made based on very bad information
128
392715
2871
通過錯誤知識所做出的爛決定
06:47
that was put into their minds
by very bad people,
by very bad people,
129
395610
2888
帶來的意外衝擊
06:50
who know good and well
the misery that they're causing,
the misery that they're causing,
130
398522
3205
那群惡人知道他們造成的悲劇
06:53
but just don't care.
131
401751
2357
但卻毫不在乎
06:56
And the result is a nightmare --
132
404577
2462
而結果就是這場夢魘
06:59
not only for families like mine,
133
407063
2570
不只像我這樣的家庭
07:01
but for, really, at the end
of the day, all of us.
of the day, all of us.
134
409657
3369
而是最終，大家都會受難
07:05
But I'm not here to talk
about the nightmare of gun violence.
about the nightmare of gun violence.

2787
都有一刻能讓你回首並說
07:39
"That's when things
really started to change."

447562
2884
「事情從那刻開始不同。」
07:43
And I'm here to say

我要說
07:44
that for the movement

452313
2921
對於停止美國槍枝暴力

2582
那一刻就是現在
07:50
(Applause)
150
458308
5661
(掌聲)
07:55
We are so clearly at a tipping point,
151
463993
2881
我們很明顯的站在轉捩點
07:58
because the American public
has come together by the millions
has come together by the millions
152
466898
3111
美國大眾前所未有的團結
08:02
like never before,
based on that common ground,
based on that common ground,
153
470033
2214
大家站在相同的立場
08:04
to say, "Enough."
154
472271
1395
並說「夠了！」
08:05
Enough of the mass shootings
in malls and movie theaters
in malls and movie theaters
155
473690
3207
受夠了商場或電影院
08:08
and churches and schools.
156
476921
1906
或教堂或學校的大規模槍擊案
08:10
Enough of the daily terror
of gun violence in homes and streets
of gun violence in homes and streets
157
478851
4893
受夠了每天在街角巷弄
08:15
that's claimed the lives of women
and young black men
and young black men
158
483768
3207
奪走婦女和黑人少年
08:18
in staggering proportions.
159
486999
1422
的槍枝暴力
08:20
Enough of easy access to guns
160
488445
1783
受夠了那些不該有槍的人
08:22
by the people that we all agree
shouldn't have them.
shouldn't have them.
161
490252
2476
那麼容易的就買到槍
08:24
And enough of a small group
of craven politicians
of craven politicians
162
492752
3035
受夠了少數沒擔當的政客
08:27
putting the interests
of the corporate gun lobby
of the corporate gun lobby
163
495811
2289
背棄他的選民
08:30
ahead of the people
they have been elected to represent.
they have been elected to represent.
164
498124
2999
並向軍火利益靠攏
08:33
Enough.
165
501147
1151
夠了
08:34
(Applause)
166
502322
6154
(掌聲)
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
令人振奮的是，不再只有像我這種人
08:44
that are saying it anymore.
168
512428
1532
如此主張
08:45
It's so much bigger than that.
169
513984
1904
實際人數超乎想像
08:47
And if you want proof,
170
515912
1151
如果你要證明
08:49
let's start where most conversations
in the US seem to start --
in the US seem to start --
171
517087
3552
就從美國最能挑起議題的人開始
08:52
with Kim Kardashian.
172
520663
1404
我是指 金·卡戴珊
08:54
(Laughter)
173
522091
1190
(笑聲)
08:55
And here's the thing:
it's not really a joke.
it's not really a joke.
174
523305
2119
然而 事實上這不是一個玩笑
08:57
I mean, think about when issues change.
175
525448
1873
我指 想一下黨問題改變後
08:59
It's when they go from being
political and advocacy issues
political and advocacy issues
176
527345
2769
這是黨他們把政治與宣傳問題
09:02
to being part of pop culture,
177
530138
1406
流行化
09:03
voices coming from everywhere,
celebrities using their platforms,
celebrities using their platforms,
178
531568
3569
名人用他們的平台 音樂家 運動員
09:07
musicians, athletes.
179
535161
1601
聲音從四面八方來
09:08
The NBA has come forward.
180
536786
1256
NBA聯盟已經出面
09:10
Conservative pundits that you never
would have imagined

181
538066
2654
你永遠想不到的保守派人士
09:12
have come forward.
182
540744
1151
已經出面
09:13
There's real cultural change --
183
541919
1542
真正的文化變革已經出現
09:15
I even hear there's a TED Talk
about it this year.
about it this year.
184
543485
2366
我甚至聽到今年有個TED演講於此有關
09:17
That's the extent to which
this cultural change is happening.
this cultural change is happening.
185
545875
4545
這是文化變革正在發生的跡象
09:22
And yes, Kim Kardashian has made
an unsolicited passionate appeal
an unsolicited passionate appeal
186
550444
3928
是的 金·卡戴珊向她三千五百萬粉絲
09:26
to her 35 million Twitter followers
187
554396
3114
迫切呼籲
09:29
for expanded background checks.
188
557534
2348
購買槍枝必須有背景調查的重要性
09:31
Let's look at the political elections
that are heating up.
that are heating up.
189
559906
2915
讓我們看看時下正熱的大選
09:34
This used to be the classic
third-rail issue for Democrats.
third-rail issue for Democrats.
190
562845
2857
這曾經是民主黨人的經典三軌困境
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
現在候選人們正在面對它
09:41
Some are being forced
to reverse very bad positions
to reverse very bad positions
193
569171
2967
有些人被強迫著改變
09:44
they defended very comfortably,
until very recently.
until very recently.
194
572162
4222
那些直到最近他們都一味支持的角度
09:48
For somebody like me,
195
576408
1630
有一些像我一樣的人
09:50
watching people wave around
their negative NRA ratings --
their negative NRA ratings --
196
578062
5062
看著人們揮舞著他們的負面NRA評級
09:55
it's almost surreal to watch.
197
583148
3219
看上去非常超現實
09:58
We're still outfunded, yes,
by the corporate gun lobby,
by the corporate gun lobby,
198
586391
3723
因為有軍火業的獻金
他們仍然比我們更有資源
他們仍然比我們更有資源
10:02
and ultimately that needs to change.
199
590138
2369
但最終那需要被改變
10:04
But you know what?
200
592531
1161
但你知道
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
我們更聰明 我們更有鬥志
我們站在真理這一邊
我們站在真理這一邊
10:10
And we're on offense.
202
598099
1720
還有我們處在進攻的位置上
10:11
You know, they say that the Internet
democratizes information.
democratizes information.
203
599843
3410
你知道 他們說網絡
可以將信息變得更加民主
可以將信息變得更加民主
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
社交媒體和隨其而來的組織應用程式
10:19
have democratized activism.
205
607039
1873
讓活動變得更加民主
10:20
It's allowed us to show what 90 percent
support really looks like.
support really looks like.
206
608936
3367
我們可以展現九成的支持度
10:24
Sometimes I think of it --
207
612327
1247
有時 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
你知道，我们會聚集起來
並瞬間以百萬的數量來攻擊
並瞬間以百萬的數量來攻擊
10:28
kind of like white blood cells.
209
616859
1603
有點像白血球
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
它讓我們真正開始連結 從根本上
10:35
close that disgraceful disconnect
211
623069
2206
連結那個可恥的斷層
10:37
between what the American public wants
212
625299
2412
美國人民的民意
10:39
and what our elected leaders
are doing about it.
are doing about it.
213
627735
2247
和他們選出的政客的作為的斷層
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
國會的立場一直站在
10:46
from that six percent,
216
634830
1160
百分之六的那邊
10:48
outnumbered calls from our side 10 to one.
217
636014
3180
是我們的十分之一
10:51
We're flipping that narrative on its head.
218
639218
2039
我們正在扭轉局勢
10:53
After that recent terrible tragedy
in San Bernardino,
in San Bernardino,
219
641281
2610
在最近發生在聖貝爾納蒂諾的可怕悲劇之後
10:55
we jammed Congressional switchboards.
220
643915
1805
我們打爆了國會的電話
10:57
We put 15,000 calls
into Congress in 24 hours.
into Congress in 24 hours.
221
645744
5373
我們在24小時裡給國會打了15000個電話
11:03
And you know what?
222
651141
1151
然而你知道嗎
11:04
We got a vote on a bill
223
652316
1151
我們通過了一項法案
11:05
that nobody thought was going to see
the light of day anytime soon.
the light of day anytime soon.
224
653491
3214
一項沒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
我們看到過去十年因為金錢關說
11:11
ugly gun lobby legislation
passed over the last dark decade.
passed over the last dark decade.
226
659594
4639
而通過的那些槍枝惡法逐一被取消
11:16
The stranglehold of the gun lobby
is clearly being broken.
is clearly being broken.
227
664257
2907
遊說不再像過去這樣易如反掌
11:19
We've seen President Obama's
historic executive actions.
historic executive actions.
228
667188
3302
我們看見奧巴馬總統歷史性的行政命令
11:22
They don't go all the way,
229
670514
1390
或許不很徹底
11:23
but they are going to save lives,
230
671928
1587
但已經足夠拯救某些生命
11:25
because they expand
Brady background checks
Brady background checks
231
673539

布萊德利背景調查
11:27

that didn't have them previously.

232
675610

將強制落實到數以千計的槍枝交易當中
11:31
And we're marching across the country --
we're not just waiting
we're not just waiting
233
679206
3008
我們沒有在等待國會有所作為
11:34
for Congress to act; that would almost
be the definition of insanity.
be the definition of insanity.
234
682238
3385
我們在全國遊行 儘管那很瘋狂
11:37
We're marching across the country,
235
685647
1645
我們要走遍全國
11:39
state by state, marriage-equality style.
236
687316
2599
一個州接著另一個州
跟婚姻平權一樣
跟婚姻平權一樣
11:41
And you know what? We're winning.
237
689939
1574
你知道嗎？我們正在贏
11:43
Congress is almost always
the last to wake up and realize
the last to wake up and realize
238
691537
3667
國會總是那最後一個意識到
11:47
that it's on the wrong side of history.
239
695228
2189
它們正站在歷史的對面
11:49
And when they do, it's always
because the American public shakes them.
because the American public shakes them.
240
697441
3621
它們需要美國社會的起來推動
11:53
And that's exactly
what we're doing right now,
what we're doing right now,
241
701086
2182
那就是我們在做的事情
11:55
as we're in this tipping point.
242
703292
1538
當我們處在這樣一個臨界點的時候
11:56
You know, recently I was flying
cross-country to give a speech
cross-country to give a speech
243
704854
3949
最近我為了巡迴演講飛遍全國
12:00
to a large group like this,
although far less intimidating,
although far less intimidating,
244
708827
3432
雖然我的聽眾沒有今天這麼嚇人
12:04
and the woman sitting next to me
happened to be binge-watching
happened to be binge-watching
245
712283
3741
飛機上 我身邊的女士
12:08
one of my all-time favorite
TV shows, "Mad Men,"
TV shows, "Mad Men,"
246
716048
4928
瘋狂看著我也很喜歡的節目《廣告狂人》
12:13
a period TV show about advertising
247
721000
2214
一個有關六〇年代廣告業的
12:15
in the 1960s.
248
723238
1818
電視節目
12:17
And as I was trying to think
about how to end my remarks,
about how to end my remarks,
249
725080
3597
當我在想要怎樣結束我的演說時
12:20
I'd glance up at her screen
every now and then,
every now and then,
250
728701
2275
我不時抬頭看看她的螢幕
12:23
and it seemed that every time I did,
251
731000
2293
而每當我這麼做時
12:25
I'd see somebody smoking
in an office or around children
in an office or around children
252
733317
4325
螢幕裡不時有人在辦公室
或在孩子面前吸煙
或在孩子面前吸煙
12:29
or while pregnant or drinking and driving
253
737666
2413
就是有孕婦酒後駕駛
12:32
or driving without seat belts
or sexually harassing a coworker.
or sexually harassing a coworker.
254
740103
3971
開車不繫安全帶、辦公室性騷擾
12:36
And ultimately it dawned on me:
255
744098
2374
最終我恍然大悟
12:38
what tremendous inspiration
256
746496
1362
這對我們這些急迫想要改革槍枝文化的人
12:39
to those of us who have this dream
to end gun violence.
to end gun violence.
257
747882
3959
是多大的鼓勵
12:43
I mean, think about how much
the world has changed
the world has changed
258
751865
2571
想想看這個世界在這短短幾年裡
12:46
in a relatively short period of time,
259
754460
2779
改變了多少
12:49
how all those behaviors that were once
considered commonplace or normal --
considered commonplace or normal --
260
757263
3633
那些大家曾經習以為常
12:52
some even glamorous or sexy --
261
760920
2217
甚至覺得優雅或性感的行為
12:55
have become stigmatized
in just a generation or two,
in just a generation or two,
262
763161
4107
在短短一兩代人的時間裡
變得不可想像
變得不可想像
12:59
once they became conversations
about our common ground.
about our common ground.
263
767292
4024
只要通過對話，尋找共識
13:03
That is the magnitude of the change
we have the potential to create
we have the potential to create
264
771799
4814
就能把改變槍枝暴力文化的可能性
13:08
around gun violence.
265
776637
1635
變得無限大
13:10
And that's my dream,
266
778296
1564
這就是我的夢想
13:11
that maybe someday,
267
779884
1468
或許在未來的某一天
13:13
some period TV show will depict
the terrible nightmare of gun violence,
the terrible nightmare of gun violence,
268
781376
5495
某些古裝劇會描繪恐怖的槍械文化
13:18
and a future generation of children
might only be able to imagine
might only be able to imagine
269
786895
3374
而我們的下一代只能想像
13:22
how terrible it must have been.
270
790293
1849
那曾經是怎樣恐怖的夢魘
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).
