When I first arrived in beautiful Zimbabwe,

0
3000
當我第一次到美麗的辛巴威時
00:15
it was difficult to understand that 35 percent of the population
1
3000
5000
我很難想像這個國家有35%的人口
00:20
is HIV positive.
2
8000
2000
感染愛滋病毒
00:23
It really wasn't until I was invited to the homes of people
3
11000
4000
直到我受邀進入那些病患的家裡
00:27
that I started to understand the human toll of the epidemic.
4
15000
5000
我才開始了解人類為傳染病所付出的代價
00:32
For instance, this is Herbert with his grandmother.
5
20000
4000
舉個例子，這是Herbert跟他的祖母
00:36
When I first met him, he was sitting on his grandmother's lap.
6
24000
4000
當我第一次看到他時，他坐在他祖母的大腿上
00:40
He has been orphaned, as both of his parents died of AIDS,
7
28000
3000
他因為雙親死於愛滋而成為孤兒
00:43
and his grandmother took care of him until he too died of AIDS.
8
31000
4000
然後他的祖母照顧他直到他也死於愛滋
00:47
He liked to sit on her lap
9
35000
2000
他喜歡坐在她的大腿上
00:49
because he said that it was painful for him to lie in his own bed.
10
37000
5000
因為他說躺在床上會覺得痛
00:54
When she got up to make tea, she placed him in my own lap
11
42000
4000
當祖母起身去泡茶時，她把Herbert放在我的大腿上
00:58
and I had never felt a child that was that emaciated.
12
46000
6000
我從來沒有抱過這麼瘦弱的孩子
01:05
Before I left, I actually asked him if I could get him something.
13
53000
4000
在我離開前，我問他是否想要什麼
01:09
I thought he would ask for a toy, or candy,
14
57000
2000
我原本以為他會想要玩具或是糖果之類
01:11
and he asked me for slippers,
15
59000
3000
但他想要的卻是拖鞋
01:14
because he said that his feet were cold.
16
62000
3000
因為他說他的腳會冷
01:17
This is Joyce who's -- in this picture -- 21.
17
65000
3000
這是Joyce 21歲時的照片
01:20
Single mother, HIV positive.
18
68000
3000
她是單親媽媽，也感染了愛滋病毒
01:23
I photographed her before and after
19
71000
2000
我在她生下寶貝女兒 Issa
01:25
the birth of her beautiful baby girl, Issa.
20
73000
3000
的前、後都替她拍照
01:28
And I was last week walking on Lafayette Street in Manhattan
21
76000
3000
當我上禮拜走在曼哈頓的拉法葉街時
01:31
and got a call from a woman who I didn't know,
22
79000
3000
接到一通我不認識的女人打來的電話
01:34
but she called to tell me that Joyce had passed away
23
82000
3000
她跟我說Joyce
01:37
at the age of 23.
24
85000
2000
在23歲時過世
01:39
Joyce's mother is now taking care of her daughter,
25
87000
3000
現在是Joyce的媽媽在照顧她的女兒
01:42
like so many other Zimbabwean children
26
90000
2000
就像很多因傳染病變成孤兒
01:44
who've been orphaned by the epidemic.
27
92000
2000
的辛巴威兒童一樣
01:46
So a few of the stories.
28
94000
2000
這是眾多案例中的幾個故事
01:48
With every picture,
29
96000
2000
但在每張照片中
01:50
there are individuals who have full lives
30
98000
5000
每位都有值得被傳頌的
01:55
and stories that deserve to be told.
31
103000
2000
生命歷程和故事
01:57
All these pictures are from Zimbabwe.
32
105000
3000
所有照片都來自辛巴威
03:42
Chris Anderson: Kirsten, will you just take one minute,
33
210000
2000
Chris Anderson：Kirsten，能不能請你花個一分鐘
03:44
just to tell your own story of how you got to Africa?
34
212000
5000
簡單的告訴我們你怎麼會想去非洲的故事
03:49
Kirsten Ashburn: Mmm, gosh.
35

1000
CA：只要...
03:51

37
219000
4000
KA：事實上，我那時候正為一位時尚攝影師
03:55
for a fashion photographer.
38
223000
2000
做製作的工作
03:57
And I was constantly reading the New York Times,
39
225000
3000
那時我一直都在看紐約時報
04:00
and stunned by the statistics, the numbers.
40
228000
4000
對愛滋病相關的統計和數字感到震驚
04:04
It was just frightening.
41
232000
2000
那些資料非常嚇人
04:06
So I quit my job
42
234000
2000
所以我辭掉工作
04:08
and decided that that's the subject that I wanted to tackle.
43
236000
3000
決定從事我真正想做的主題
04:12
And I first actually went to Botswana, where I spent a month --
44
240000
4000
2000年的十二月我花了一整個月
04:16
this is in December 2000 --
45
244000
2000
待在Botswana
04:18
then went to Zimbabwe for a month and a half,
46
246000
3000
然後再去辛巴威待了一個半月
04:21
and then went back again this March 2002
47
249000
3000
接著在2002年的三月我又回去辛巴威
04:24
for another month and a half in Zimbabwe.
48
252000
3000
待了一個半月

Why you should listen
Kristen Ashburn's poignant photographs bring us into close contact with individuals in the midst of enormous hardship -- giving a human face to struggles that much of the world knows only as statistics and blurbs on the news. She has photographed the people of Iraq a year after the U.S. invasion, Jewish settlers in Gaza, suicide bombers, the penal system in Russia, victims of tuberculosis and the aftermath of the tsunami in Sri Lanka and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. One of her more recent works, BLOODLINE: AIDS and Family, looked at the human impact of AIDS in Africa.
Her unflinching photographs from the Middle East, Europe, and Africa have appeared in many publications including The New Yorker, TIME, Newsweek, and Life. She has won numerous awards, including the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism Award and two World Press Photo prizes.
