Ten years ago exactly,
0
0
2000
整整十年以前，
00:17
I was in Afghanistan.
1
2000
2000
我在阿富汗。
00:19
I was covering the war in Afghanistan,
2
4000
4000
我当时在报道阿富汗战争，
00:23
and I witnessed, as a reporter for Al Jazeera,
3
8000
3000
作为卡塔尔半岛电视台的一名记者，我亲眼见证了
00:26
the amount of suffering and destruction
4
11000
3000
这样一场战争
00:29
that emerged out of a war like that.
5
14000
3000
酿成了多少苦难与破坏。
00:32
Then, two years later,
6
17000
2000
接着，两年之后，
00:34
I covered another war -- the war in Iraq.
7
19000
2000
我又报道了另一场战争－伊拉克战争。
00:36
I was placed at the center of that war
8
21000
3000
我被调到了战争的中心地带
00:39
because I was covering the war
9
24000
2000
因为我当时正从伊拉克北部
00:41
from the northern part of Iraq.
10
26000
3000
对战争进行报道。
00:44
And the war ended
11
29000
2000
战争结束了
00:46
with a regime change,
12
31000
2000
推翻了一个政权，
00:48
like the one in Afghanistan.
13
33000
2000
与阿富汗战争如出一辙。
00:50
And that regime
14
35000
2000
而那个
00:52
that we got rid of
15
37000
2000
被我们推翻的政权
00:54
was actually a dictatorship,
16
39000
3000
实际上是一个独裁政权，
00:57
an authoritarian regime,
17
42000
2000
一个专制统治，
00:59
that for decades
18
44000
3000
几十年里
01:02
created a great sense of paralysis
19
47000
4000
让整个国家内部以及民众
01:06
within the nation, within the people themselves.
20
51000
3000
感到无能为力。
01:09
However,
21
54000
2000
然而，
01:11
the change that came through foreign intervention
22
56000
2000
外国干预所带来的变革
01:13
created even worse circumstances for the people
23
58000
3000
却对那些人民造成了更坏的影响
01:16
and deepened the sense
24
61000
2000
并使那里的人民
01:18
of paralysis and inferiority
25
63000
2000
倍感
01:20
in that part of the world.
26
65000
2000
无助与自卑。
01:22
For decades,
27
67000
2000
在几十年里，
01:24
we have lived under authoritarian regimes --
28
69000
3000
我们生活在专制统治之下－
01:27
in the Arab world, in the Middle East.
29
72000
3000
在阿拉伯世界，在中东地区。
01:30
These regimes
30
75000
2000
这些政权
01:32
created something within us during this period.
31
77000
3000
这段时期内在我们内心创造了一样东西。
01:35
I'm 43 years old right now.
32
80000
2000
我现在43岁了。
01:37
For the last 40 years,
33
82000
2000
在过去的40年里，
01:39
I have seen almost the same faces
34
84000
2000
我所见过统治我们的君王与总统
01:41
for kings and presidents ruling us --
35
86000
4000
几乎都拥有一样的面孔－
01:45
old, aged, authoritarian,
36
90000
4000
苍老，独裁，
01:49
corrupt situations --
37
94000
2000
腐败－
01:51
regimes that we have seen around us.
38
96000
3000
这些就是我们经历过的政权。
01:54
And for a moment I was wondering,
39
99000
3000
有一刻，我曾好奇，
01:57
are we going to live in order to see
40
102000
2000
我们是否能够在有生之年
01:59
real change happening on the ground,
41
104000
3000
见识到这片土地上发生一次真正的变革
02:02
a change that does not come through foreign intervention,
42
107000
3000
这种变革不来自外国干预，
02:05
through the misery of occupation,
43
110000
3000
不会导致被占领的苦难
02:08
through nations invading our land
44
113000
3000
没有外国入侵我们的土地
02:11
and deepening the sense of inferiority sometimes?
45
116000
4000
我们的自卑感也不会加深
02:15
The Iraqis: yes, they got rid of Saddam Hussein,
46
120000
3000
伊拉克人说：是的，他们推翻了萨达姆. 侯赛因
02:18
but when they saw
47
123000
2000
但当他们看到
02:20
their land occupied by foreign forces
48
125000
3000
他们的土地被外国势力占领
02:23
they felt very sad,
49
128000
2000
他们感到非常悲伤
02:25
they felt that their dignity had suffered.
50
130000
3000
他们感到自己的尊严遭到了践踏
02:28
And this is why they revolted.
51
133000
2000
正因如此他们才开始起义反抗
02:30
This is why they did not accept.
52
135000
3000
正因如此他们才不愿接受
02:33
And actually other regimes, they told their citizens,
53
138000
3000
实际上，其它政权，告诉他们的人民
02:36
"Would you like to see the situation of Iraq?
54
141000
3000
“你们希望见到伊拉克的现状吗？
02:39
Would you like to see civil war, sectarian killing?
55
144000
3000
你们希望看到内战和宗派屠杀吗？
02:42
Would you like to see destruction?
56
147000
2000
你们希望看到破坏吗？
02:44
Would you like to see foreign troops on your land?"
57
149000
3000
你们希望看到外国军队进驻你们的土地吗？”
02:47
And the people thought for themselves,
58
152000
2000
而这些人民寻思
02:49
"Maybe we should live with
59
154000
2000
“也许我们应该继续
02:51
this kind of authoritarian situation that we find ourselves in,
60
156000
3000
生活在现有的政权之下
02:54
instead of having the second scenario."
61
159000
3000
而不是选择这个可能。”
02:58
That was one of the worst nightmares that we have seen.
62
163000
3000
这是我们最可怕的噩梦之一
03:01
For 10 years,
63
166000
2000
整整十年里
03:03
unfortunately we have found ourselves
64
168000
2000
很不幸地，我们一直
03:05
reporting images of destruction,
65
170000
3000
报道破坏的画面
03:08
images of killing,
66
173000
2000
宗派冲突
03:10
of sectarian conflicts,
67
175000
2000
屠杀的画面
03:12
images of violence,
68
177000
2000
一片广袤土地上
03:14
emerging from a magnificent piece of land,
69
179000
3000
不断出现暴力的画面
03:17
a region that one day was the source
70
182000
2000
这里几千年来一直是
03:19
of civilizations and art and culture
71
184000
3000
众多文明，艺术与文化的
03:22
for thousands of years.
72
187000
3000
发祥地
03:25
Now I am here to tell you
73
190000
3000
我在这里想告诉大家
03:28
that the future
74
193000
2000
我们梦想中的
03:30
that we were dreaming for
75
195000
2000
未来
03:32
has eventually arrived.
76
197000
3000
已经到来了
03:36
A new generation,
77
201000
2000
新的一代人
03:38
well-educated,
78
203000
2000
得到了良好的教育
03:40
connected,
79
205000
2000
团结在一起
03:42
inspired by universal values
80
207000
4000
被普遍的价值观所激励
03:46
and a global understanding,
81
211000
3000
并拥有全球化的视角
03:49
has created a new reality for us.
82
214000
4000
这一代人已经为我们开辟了新的现实
03:53
We have found a new way
83
218000
3000
我们找到了一种新的途径
03:56
to express our feelings
84
221000
3000
来表达我们的感情
03:59
and to express our dreams:
85
224000
3000
和梦想
04:02
these young people
86
227000
2000
这些年轻人
04:04
who have restored self-confidence
87
229000
2000
重塑了我们国家
04:06
in our nations in that part of the world,
88
231000
3000
在阿拉伯世界中的自信
04:09
who have given us
89
234000
2000
他们给了我们
04:11
new meaning for freedom
90
236000
3000
新意义下的自由
04:14
and empowered us to go down to the streets.
91
239000
3000
让我们得到了走到大街上表达意愿的权力
04:17
Nothing happened. No violence. Nothing.
92
242000
2000
什么也没发生 没有暴力 风平浪静
04:19
Just step out of your house,
93
244000
2000
只要走出你的家门
04:21
raise your voice
94
246000
2000
抬高你的嗓音
04:23
and say, "We would like to see the end of the regime."
95
248000
4000
呐喊：“我们希望这个政权下台。”
04:27
This is what happened in Tunisia.
96
252000
2000
这就在突尼斯发生了
04:29
Over a few days,
97
254000
2000
几天以前
04:31
the Tunisian regime that invested billions of dollars
98
256000
3000
突尼斯政权，它曾投入了几十亿美元
04:34
in the security agencies,
99
259000
2000
在安全机构，
04:36
billions of dollars
100
261000
2000
几十亿美元
04:38
in maintaining, trying to maintain,
101
263000
2000
花在了维护，试图维护
04:40
its prisons,
102
265000
2000
国家的监狱
04:42
collapsed, disappeared,
103
267000
2000
这个政权垮台了，
04:44
because of the voices of the public.
104
269000
3000
湮灭在了人民的呼喊声中
04:47
People who were inspired to go down to the streets
105
272000
2000
人们被激励着走上大街小巷
04:49
and to raise their voices,
106
274000
2000
大声呐喊
04:51
they tried to kill.
107
276000
2000
他们不达目的不罢休
04:53
The intelligence agencies wanted to arrest people.
108
278000
3000
情报局想要逮捕这些人
04:56
They found something called Facebook.
109
281000
3000
他们找到了叫“Facebook”的东西
04:59
They found something called Twitter.
110
284000
2000
找到了叫“推特”的东西
05:01
They were surprised by all of these kinds of issues.
111
286000
2000
他们为之而感到惊讶
05:03
And they said,
112
288000
2000
他们说：
05:05
"These kids are misled."
113
290000
3000
“这些孩子被误导了。”
05:08
Therefore, they asked their parents
114
293000
2000
于是，他们让孩子的父母
05:10
to go down to the streets
115
295000
2000
到大街上去
05:12
and collect them, bring them back home.
116
297000
2000
把他们领回家去
05:14
This is what they were telling. This is their propaganda.
117
299000
2000
这就是他们说宣扬的，这是他们的阴谋
05:16
"Bring these kids home
118
301000
2000
“把这些孩子领回家去
05:18
because they are misled."
119
303000
2000
因为他们被误导了。”
05:20
But yes,
120
305000
2000
然而，是的
05:22
these youth
121
307000
2000
这些普遍价值观
05:24
who have been inspired
122
309000
2000
所激励的
05:26
by universal values,
123
311000
2000
年轻人
05:28
who are idealistic enough
124
313000
2000
这些对辉煌的未来
05:30
to imagine a magnificent future
125
315000
2000
抱着满腔理想的年轻人
05:32
and, at the same time, realistic enough
126
317000
3000
而这些年轻人也脚踏实地
05:35
to balance this kind of imagination
127
320000
3000
在这种理想
05:38
and the process leading to it --
128
323000
3000
与理想的实践过程之间取得了平衡
05:41
not using violence,
129
326000
2000
不使用暴力
05:43
not trying to create chaos --
130
328000
2000
不制造混乱
05:45
these young people,
131
330000
2000
这些年轻人
05:47
they did not go home.
132
332000
2000
没有回家
05:49
Parents actually went to the streets
133
334000
2000
他们的父母去到大街上
05:51
and they supported them.
134
336000
2000
支持他们
05:53
And this is how the revolution was born in Tunisia.
135
338000
3000
这就是突尼斯变革的由来
05:56
We in Al Jazeera
136
341000
2000
我们卡塔尔半岛电视台
05:58
were banned from Tunisia for years,
137
343000
3000
在突尼斯已被禁多年
06:01
and the government did not allow
138
346000
2000
当地政府不允许
06:03
any Al Jazeera reporter to be there.
139
348000
2000
任何卡塔尔半岛电视台记者靠近
06:05
But we found that these people in the street,
140
350000
3000
但我们发现这些在大街上抗议的人们
06:08
all of them are our reporters,
141
353000
2000
都变成了我们的记者
06:10
feeding our newsroom
142
355000
2000
为我们的演播室不停注入
06:12
with pictures, with videos
143
357000
2000
图片，视频
06:14
and with news.
144
359000
2000
以及新闻
06:16
And suddenly that newsroom in Doha
145
361000
3000
突然间，位于多哈的演播室
06:19
became a center
146
364000
2000
成为了一个中心
06:21
that received all this kind of input from ordinary people --
147
366000
3000
专门收集各种来自于普通民众的信息－－
06:24
people who are connected and people who have ambition
148
369000
3000
他们团结在一起，拥有抱负
06:27
and who have liberated themselves
149
372000
2000
从自卑感中
06:29
from the feeling of inferiority.
150
374000
2000
将自己解放出来
06:31
And then we took that decision:
151
376000
3000
于是我们决定：
06:34
We are unrolling the news.
152
379000
2000
我们要把这些新闻都报导出来
06:36
We are going to be the voice for these voiceless people.
153
381000
3000
我们要成为这些民众的喉舌
06:39
We are going to spread the message.
154
384000
2000
我们要将消息传播出去
06:41
Yes, some of these young people
155
386000
2000
是的，这些年轻人中的一些人
06:43
are connected to the Internet,
156
388000
2000
通过互联网相互联系了起来
06:45
but the connectivity in the Arab world
157
390000
2000
然而，阿拉伯世界的联系
06:47
is very little, is very small,
158
392000
2000
还非常有限，非常微小
06:49
because of many problems that we are suffering from.
159
394000
3000
造成这种现象的原因是我们面临了很多问题
06:52
But Al Jazeera took the voice from these people
160
397000
3000
而卡塔尔半岛电视台收集了民众的声音
06:55
and we amplified [it].
161
400000
2000
加以放大
06:57
We put it in every sitting room in the Arab world --
162
402000
3000
我们让这声音传遍阿拉伯世界每个家庭的起居室
07:00
and internationally, globally,
163
405000
2000
并通过我们的英文频道
07:02
through our English channel.
164
407000
2000
传向世界，传遍全球
07:04
And then people started to feel
165
409000
3000
到时候，人民会开始感觉到
07:07
that there's something new happening.
166
412000
3000
一股新的势力正在发生
07:10
And then Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali
167
415000
3000
后来扎因·阿比丁·本·阿里（突尼斯前总统）
07:13
decided to leave.
168
418000
2000
决定离开了
07:15
And then Egypt started,
169
420000
2000
接着，埃及的抗议发生了
07:17
and Hosni Mubarak decided to leave.
170
422000
2000
于是，穆巴拉克决定离开了
07:19
And now Libya as you see it.
171
424000
2000
而现在轮到利比亚了
07:21
And then you have Yemen.
172
426000
2000
接下来是也门
07:23
And you have many other countries trying to see
173
428000
2000
你会看到其它许多国家争相想要看到
07:25
and to rediscover that feeling
174
430000
3000
并重新体验那种感觉
07:28
of, "How do we imagine a future
175
433000
2000
“我们如何想象一个
07:30
which is magnificent and peaceful and tolerant?"
176
435000
3000
辉煌，和平，宽容的未来呢？”
07:33
I want to tell you something,
177
438000
3000
我想告诉大家
07:36
that the Internet and connectivity
178
441000
4000
互联网和人们直接的联系
07:40
has created [a] new mindset.
179
445000
3000
已经创造出了一种新思维
07:43
But this mindset
180
448000
2000
但是这种思维
07:45
has continued to be faithful
181
450000
2000
仍然对这片
07:47
to the soil and to the land
182
452000
2000
生养它的土地
07:49
that it emerged from.
183
454000
3000
充满赤诚
07:52
And while this was the major difference
184
457000
3000
这与之前许多
07:55
between many initiatives before
185
460000
3000
寻求变革的行动
07:58
to create change,
186
463000
2000
有着很大的不同之处
08:00
before we thought, and governments told us --
187
465000
2000
之前我们认为，政府也告诉我们－－
08:02
and even sometimes it was true --
188
467000
3000
有时候这也是真的－－
08:05
that change was imposed on us,
189
470000
3000
那就是，当变革被强加于我们
08:08
and people rejected that,
190
473000
2000
人们会产生抵触
08:10
because they thought that it is alien to their culture.
191
475000
3000
这是因为他们认为这不属于他们的文化
08:13
Always, we believed
192
478000
3000
我们一直相信
08:16
that change will spring from within,
193
481000
3000
变革是从内部孕育而生的
08:19
that change should be a reconciliation
194
484000
4000
这变革应当与文化
08:23
with culture, cultural diversity,
195
488000
3000
文化多样性
08:26
with our faith in our tradition
196
491000
2000
与我们对传统以及历史的信仰
08:28
and in our history,
197
493000
2000
相互融合
08:30
but at the same time,
198
495000
2000
与此同时
08:32
open to universal values, connected with the world,
199
497000
3000
这变革包容了普遍的价值观，与世界相联结
08:35
tolerant to the outside.
200
500000
2000
包容外部世界
08:37
And this is the moment
201
502000
2000
现在就是
08:39
that is happening right now in the Arab world.
202
504000
2000
阿拉伯世界发生变革的时刻
08:41
This is the right moment, and this is the actual moment
203
506000
3000
这是正确的时刻，是绝佳的时刻
08:44
that we see all of these meanings meet together
204
509000
2000
我们看到了这些重要意义相互交汇
08:46
and then create the beginning
205
511000
2000
并创造了
08:48
of this magnificent era
206
513000
2000
这片土地上
08:50
that will emerge from the region.
207
515000
3000
辉煌新时代的开端
08:54
How did the elite deal with that --
208
519000
2000
那些顶尖人物将如何应对－－
08:56
the so-called political elite?
209
521000
3000
那些所谓的政治精英会怎么做？
08:59
In front of Facebook,
210
524000
3000
面对Facebook
09:02
they brought the camels in Tahrir Square.
211
527000
3000
他们把骆驼拉到开罗的解放广场上
09:05
In front of Al Jazeera,
212
530000
2000
面对卡塔尔半岛电视台
09:07
they started creating tribalism.
213
532000
4000
他们开始结党营私
09:11
And then when they failed,
214
536000
2000
当他们失败了
09:13
they started speaking about conspiracies
215
538000
3000
他们就宣称
09:16
that emerged from Tel Aviv and Washington
216
541000
3000
有人在特拉维夫制造阴谋
09:19
in order to divide the Arab world.
217
544000
3000
以此分裂阿拉伯世界
09:22
They started telling the West,
218
547000
2000
他们开始警告西方
09:24
"Be aware of Al-Qaeda.
219
549000
2000
“小心基地组织
09:26
Al-Qaeda is taking over our territories.
220
551000
2000
基地组织主宰了我们的土地
09:28
These are Islamists
221
553000
2000
这些人信仰伊斯兰教
09:30
trying to create new Imaras.
222
555000
2000
想要建立新的Imaras
09:32
Be aware of these people
223
557000
2000
小心这些人
09:34
who [are] coming to you
224
559000
3000
他们正准备对付你们
09:37
in order to ruin your great civilization."
225
562000
3000
摧毁你们伟大的文明”
09:40
Fortunately,
226
565000
3000
真不巧
09:43
people right now cannot be deceived.
227
568000
2000
人们现在可没那么好骗了
09:45
Because this corrupt elite
228
570000
3000
因为，这个地区
09:48
in that region
229
573000
2000
腐败的当权者
09:50
has lost even the power of deception.
230
575000
4000
已经丧失了欺骗的能力
09:54
They could not, and they cannot, imagine
231
579000
2000
他们不论是过去还是现在都想象不到
09:56
how they could really deal with this reality.
232
581000
3000
他们将如何面对这样的现实
09:59
They have lost.
233
584000
2000
他们丧失了－－
10:01
They have been detached
234
586000
2000
他们被广大人民
10:03
from their people, from the masses,
235
588000
3000
所背弃
10:06
and now we are seeing them collapsing
236
591000
3000
现在，我们目睹他们一个接着一个
10:09
one after the other.
237
594000
2000
相继垮台
10:12
Al Jazeera is not
238
597000
3000
卡塔尔半岛电视台不是
10:15
a tool of revolution.
239
600000
2000
变革的工具
10:17
We do not create revolutions.
240
602000
2000
我们并不能创造变革
10:19
However,
241
604000
2000
然而
10:21
when something of that magnitude happens,
242
606000
3000
当这样重大的重大事件发生时
10:24
we are at the center of the coverage.
243
609000
3000
我们就成为了时事报导的中心
10:27
We were banned from Egypt,
244
612000
2000
我们在埃及被禁
10:29
and our correspondents,
245
614000
2000
我们的驻地记者
10:31
some of them were arrested.
246
616000
3000
有的被逮捕
10:34
But most of our camera people
247
619000
3000
但我们大多数的摄影师
10:37
and our journalists,
248
622000
2000
我们的记者们
10:39
they went underground in Egypt -- voluntarily --
249
624000
3000
他们自发进入埃及－－完全自愿
10:42
to report what happened in Tahrir Square.
250
627000
3000
秘密对解放广场上的情况进行报导
10:45
For 18 days,
251
630000
2000
18天里
10:47
our cameras were broadcasting, live,
252
632000
3000
我们的摄影机实时播出
10:50
the voices of the people in Tahrir Square.
253
635000
3000
解放广场上民众的呼声
10:53
I remember one night
254
638000
2000
我记得，一天晚上
10:55
when someone phoned me on my cellphone --
255
640000
2000
某人打通了我的手机－－
10:57
ordinary person who I don't know -- from Tahrir Square.
256
642000
2000
一个我不认识的平民－－从解放广场打来的
10:59
He told me, "We appeal to you
257
644000
2000
他告诉我：“我们恳请你
11:01
not to switch off the cameras.
258
646000
2000
不要关掉摄像机
11:03
If you switch off the cameras tonight,
259
648000
2000
如果你们关掉了摄像机
11:05
there will be a genocide.
260
650000
2000
今晚将会发生一场大屠杀
11:07
You are protecting us
261
652000
2000
你们实时报导解放广场的状况
11:09
by showing what is happening at Tahrir Square."
262
654000
3000
就是在保护我们。”
11:12
I felt the responsibility
263
657000
2000
我感到我有责任
11:14
to phone our correspondents there
264
659000
2000
给当地的记者们
11:16
and to phone our newsroom
265
661000
2000
以及我们的新闻演播室打电话
11:18
and to tell them, "Make your best
266
663000
2000
告诉他们：“你们要竭尽全力
11:20
not to switch off the cameras at night,
267
665000
2000
不要在晚上关掉摄影机
11:22
because the guys there really feel confident
268
667000
3000
因为在场的民众会更有自信
11:25
when someone is reporting their story --
269
670000
2000
因为有人对他们的故事进行报导－－
11:27
and they feel protected as well."
270
672000
3000
他们还能感觉受到了保护。”
11:30
So we have a chance
271
675000
3000
因此，我们有机会
11:33
to create a new future
272
678000
2000
在阿拉伯世界
11:35
in that part of the world.
273
680000
2000
创造一个新的未来
11:37
We have a chance
274
682000
3000
我们有机会
11:40
to go and to think of the future
275
685000
3000
进入新的未来
11:43
as something which is open to the world.
276
688000
3000
并知道它会向整个世界敞开大门
11:46
Let us not repeat the mistake of Iran,
277
691000
3000
我们不要重蹈伊朗的覆辙
11:49
of [the] Mosaddeq revolution.
278
694000
2000
进行错误的改革
11:51
Let us free ourselves -- especially in the West --
279
696000
3000
我们应该放弃固有的观点－－尤其是西方国家－－
11:54
from thinking about that part of the world
280
699000
2000
一想起阿拉伯世界
11:56
based on oil interest,
281
701000
3000
就牵扯到石油
11:59
or based on interests
282
704000
3000
或者其它基于
12:02
of the illusion of stability and security.
283
707000
3000
稳定与安全受到破坏的利益考虑
12:05
The stability and security
284
710000
3000
专制统治的稳定
12:08
of authoritarian regimes
285
713000
3000
与安全
12:11
cannot create
286
716000
2000
只会
12:13
but terrorism and violence and destruction.
287
718000
2000
导致恐怖主义，暴力与破坏
12:15
Let us accept the choice of the people.
288
720000
3000
我们应当接受人们的选择
12:18
Let us not pick and choose
289
723000
2000
不要拣选
12:20
who we would like to rule their future.
290
725000
3000
我们所偏爱的人选去主宰他们的未来
12:23
The future should be ruled
291
728000
2000
未来应当
12:25
by people themselves,
292
730000
2000
由人民自己决定
12:27
even sometimes if they are voices
293
732000
2000
即使有时候他们的呼声
12:29
that might now scare us.
294
734000
2000
会让我们感到恐惧
12:31
But the values of democracy
295
736000
3000
但民主的价值观
12:34
and the freedom of choice
296
739000
2000
以及选择的自由
12:36
that is sweeping the Middle East at this moment in time
297
741000
3000
此刻正在席卷中东地区
12:39
is the best opportunity for the world,
298
744000
2000
这是阿拉伯世界最好的时机
12:41
for the West and the East,
299
746000
2000
让东西半球
12:43
to see stability and to see security
300
748000
3000
看到稳定与安全
12:46
and to see friendship and to see tolerance
301
751000
3000
看到友谊与包容
12:49
emerging from the Arab world,
302
754000
2000
正在阿拉伯世界中逐步兴起
12:51
rather than the images of violence and terrorism.
303
756000
3000
取代了暴力与恐怖主义的画面
12:54
Let us support these people.
304
759000
2000
我们应当支持这些人民
12:56
Let us stand for them.
305
761000
2000
我们应当成为他们的代表
12:58
And let us give up
306
763000
2000
我们应当放弃
13:00
our narrow selfishness
307
765000
3000
我们狭隘的心胸
13:03
in order to embrace change,
308
768000
2000
以拥抱变革
13:05
and in order to celebrate with the people of that region
309
770000
3000
为那片土地上的人民欢呼
13:08
a great future
310
773000
2000
为伟大的未来
13:10
and hope and tolerance.
311
775000
3000
希望和宽容而庆祝
13:13
The future has arrived,
312
778000
2000
未来就在眼前
13:15
and the future is now.
313
780000
2000
未来就是现在
13:17
I thank you very much.
314
782000
2000
非常感谢大家
13:19
(Applause)
315
784000
13000
（热烈鼓掌）
13:32
Thank you very much.
316
797000
2000
非常感谢你们
13:34
(Applause)
317
799000
5000
（热烈鼓掌）
13:39
Chris Anderson: I just have a couple of questions for you.
318
804000
2000
克里斯. 安德森：我有几个问题想问您
13:41
Thank you for coming here.
319
806000
2000
感谢您的到场
13:43
How would you characterize the historical significance
320
808000
2000
您怎么描述这一事件的
13:45
of what's happened?
321
810000
2000
重要历史意义？
13:47
Is this a story-of-the-year, a story-of-the-decade
322
812000
3000
它能够产生一整年的影响，能够产生十年的影响
13:50
or something more?
323
815000
2000
还是具有更深远的影响？
13:52
Wadah Khanfar: Actually, this may be the biggest story that we have ever covered.
324
817000
3000
瓦达. 坎法尔：事实上，这可能是我们有史以来报导过最重大的事件
13:55
We have covered many wars.
325
820000
2000
我们报导了许多战争
13:57
We have covered a lot of tragedies, a lot of problems,
326
822000
2000
报到了许多悲剧，许多问题
13:59
a lot of conflict zones, a lot of hot spots in the region,
327
824000
3000
许多冲突地区，许多该地区的热点问题
14:02
because we were centered at the middle of it.
328
827000
2000
因为我们在这些事件的中心位置
14:04
But this is a story -- it is a great story; it is beautiful.
329
829000
4000
而这个事件－－非常伟大；异常美丽
14:08
It is not something that you only cover
330
833000
3000
我们报导它并不只是
14:11
because you have to cover a great incident.
331
836000
3000
因为你必须报导一件大事
14:14
You are witnessing change in history.
332
839000
3000
你是在亲眼见证历史的变迁
14:17
You are witnessing the birth of a new era.
333
842000
3000
你是在见证一个新时代的诞生
14:20
And this is what the story's all about.
334
845000
2000
而这就是这个事件的本质
14:22
CA: There are a lot of people in the West
335
847000
2000
克里斯. 安德森：西方国家有许多人
14:24
who are still skeptical,
336
849000
2000
怀疑或认为
14:26
or think this may just be an intermediate stage
337
851000
3000
这只是
14:29
before much more alarming chaos.
338
854000
3000
更大规模暴乱的前奏
14:32
You really believe
339
857000
2000
您真的相信
14:34
that if there are democratic elections in Egypt now,
340
859000
3000
如果埃及现在进行民主选举
14:37
that a government could emerge
341
862000
2000
产生新的政府
14:39
that espouses some of the values you've spoken about so inspiringly?
342
864000
3000
那么这一政府会接受您刚才慷慨激昂地提出的那些价值观吗？
14:42

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Wadah Khanfar - JournalistAs the Director General of Al Jazeera from 2003-2011, Wadah Khanfar worked to bring rare liberties like information, transparency and dissenting voices to repressive states and political hot zones.
Why you should listen
From war correspondent to Baghdad bureau chief to Director General from 2003 until he stepped down in 2011, Wadah Khanfar worked through the closure and bombing of Al Jazeera's bureaus, the torture and murder of its journalists and state propaganda smears. Al Jazeera's approach to journalism emphasizes "re-thinking authority, giving a voice to the voiceless," Khanfar said in an interview with TIME.
No news network has attracted as much controversy as Al Jazeera. Khanfar, in turn, became the lightning rod for dispute on the organization's place in politics, both in its home region and abroad. (In the West, editorials have accused him of sympathizing with terrorists; in his own region, of fanning instability.)
