俄克拉何马城——美国一个中等规模的城镇，曾经拥有巨大的问题：它曾是全美肥胖症最普遍的城镇之一。市长米克·科内特意识到了这个问题，他发现要使得这座城市成为一个适宜人们工作与居住的好去处，它必须先得变得更健康。在这场精彩绝伦的演讲中，他带领我们见证了俄克拉何马城中发生了怎样一连串的变化来使得市民们成功瘦身了一共将近一百万磅（四十五万千克）。

How many of you have been to Oklahoma City?

在座的各位有多少人去过俄克拉荷马城?
00:14
Raise your hand. Yeah?
1
2485
1290
请举手。
00:15
How many of you have not been to Oklahoma City
2
3775
2149
又有多少人没去过，
00:17
and have no idea who I am? (Laughter)
3
5924
4009
而且从来没听说过我？（笑声）
00:21
Most of you. Let me give you
a little bit of background.

看来大多数都没有。
我来提供点背景知识吧。

00:24
Oklahoma City started in the most
5
12731
2442
俄克拉何荷城是在一种我们所能想像到的
00:27
unique way imaginable.
6
15173
1768
最独特的方式中建立起来的。
00:28
Back on a spring day in 1889,
7
16941
2822
那是在1889年的一个春天，
00:31
the federal government held what they called
8
19763
1587
联邦政府掀起了一场他们称为
00:33
a land run.
9
21350
1759
“大地奔跑”的廉价土地抢占热潮。
00:35
They literally lined up the settlers
10
23109
1694
他们将想要在这里定居的男女老少们
00:36
along an imaginary line,
11
24803
1623
排成一列，
00:38
and they fired off a gun,
12
26426
1425
然后鸣枪作为信号，
00:39
and the settlers roared across the countryside
13
27851
1785
于是人群吼叫着冲过乡村
00:41
and put down a stake,
14
29636
2116
在土地上插置木桩以抢占土地，
00:43
and wherever they put down that stake,
15
31752
1536
这样一来，他们便可将新家安在
00:45
that was their new home.
16
33288
1708
他们所插置木桩的土地上。
00:46
And at the end of the very first day,
17
34996
2370
在“大地奔跑”的第一天结束后，
00:49
the population of Oklahoma City
18
37366
1750
俄克拉荷马城的人口
00:51
had gone from zero to 10,000,
19
39116
3906
从零飙升至一万，
00:55
and our planning department
20
43022
1341
我们的规划部门甚至直到今天
00:56
is still paying for that.
21
44363
3920
都还在为这些土地支付费用。
01:00
The citizens got together on that first day
22
48283
2497
市民们在那一天聚集在一起，
01:02
and elected a mayor.
23
50780
2252
并且选出了自己的市长。
01:05
And then they shot him.
24
53032
1807
然后，他们枪毙了他。
01:06
(Laughter)
25
54839
4649
（笑声）
01:11
That's not really all that funny
26
59947
2483
这其实真的没有那么好笑。
01:14
-- (Laughter) --
27
62430
1504
--（笑声）--
01:15
but it allows me to see what type of audience
28
63934
1920
但是这可以让我看到我正在
01:17
I'm dealing with, so I appreciate the feedback.
29
65854
4362
和什么样的观众打交道，
所以我很感谢你们这样的反馈。
所以我很感谢你们这样的反馈。
01:22
The 20th century was fairly kind to Oklahoma City.
30
70216
2777
二十世纪对待俄克拉荷马城的方式
真是相当宽厚。
真是相当宽厚。
01:24
Our economy was based on commodities,
31
72993
2461
我们的经济以商品为基石，
01:27
so the price of cotton or the price of wheat,
32
75454
2799
故而棉布抑或小麦的价格也是这基石的一部分，
01:30
and ultimately the price of oil and natural gas.
33
78253
3313
并且，最终以石油与天然气的价格为基础。
01:33
And along the way, we became a city
34
81566
2112
随着时间的推移，我们发展成为了一个
01:35
of innovation.
35
83678
2046
具有革新意义的城市。
01:37
The shopping cart was invented in Oklahoma City.
36
85724
3873
购物车是在俄克拉何马城发明的。
01:41
(Applause)
37
89597
5140
（掌声）
01:46
The parking meter, invented in Oklahoma City.
38
94737
5300
停车计时器，也诞生于俄克拉何马城。
01:52
You're welcome.
39
100037
3746
不用客气！
01:55
Having an economy, though,
40
103783
1696
然而，依赖于大宗商品的经济体
01:57
that relates to commodities
can give you some ups and some downs,
can give you some ups and some downs,
41
105479
3147
会时常起伏不定，
02:00
and that was certainly the case
in Oklahoma City's history.
in Oklahoma City's history.
42
108626
2597
这确实也是俄克拉何马城在历史上所经历过的。
02:03
In the 1970s, when it appeared
43
111223
2357
二十世纪七十年代，当能源的价格
02:05
that the price of energy would never retreat,
44
113580
1823
不再下跌的时候，
02:07
our economy was soaring,
45
115403
1734
我们的经济飞速发展，
02:09
and then in the early 1980s, it cratered quickly.
46
117137
3582
而后来在二十世纪八十年代早期，它迅速地崩溃。
02:12
The price of energy dropped.
47
120719
2471
能源价格狂跌。
02:15
Our banks began to fail.
48
123190
1752
我们本地的银行开始破产。
02:16
Before the end of the decade,
49
124942
1558
那十年中，
02:18
100 banks had failed in the state of Oklahoma.
50
126500
3887
俄克拉何马州的一百家银行宣告破产。
02:22
There was no bailout on the horizon.
51
130387
2551
而当时又没有可以即刻实施的救市政策。
02:24
Our banking industry, our oil and gas industry,
52
132938
2305
我们的银行业，石油与天然气工业，
02:27
our commercial real estate industry,
53
135243
2036
还有商业地产业，
02:29
were all at the bottom of the economic scale.
54
137279
3203
在当时都完全不具有一定的经济规模。
02:32
Young people were leaving Oklahoma City in droves
55
140482
2645
年轻人成群结队地离开俄克拉何马城
02:35
for Washington and Dallas and Houston
and New York and Tokyo,
and New York and Tokyo,
56
143127
2915
前往华盛顿、达拉斯、休斯顿、纽约和东京，
02:38
anywhere where they could
find a job that measured up
find a job that measured up
57
146042
2107
前往任何一个他们可以得到一份符合自己
02:40
to their educational attainment,
58
148149
1671
教育程度的工作的地方，
02:41
because in Oklahoma City,
the good jobs just weren't there.
the good jobs just weren't there.
59
149820
3231
因为俄克拉何马城已无他们的容身之地。
02:45
But along at the end of the '80s
60
153051
1716
然而，在八十年代末期
02:46
came an enterprising businessman
61
154767
2828
一位有事业心的商人来到了这里，并且成为市长。
02:49
who became mayor named Ron Norick.
62
157595
2009
他的名字叫罗恩·诺里克。
02:51
Ron Norick eventually figured out
63
159604
1747
罗恩·诺里克最终发现
02:53
that the secret to economic development
64
161351
1937
经济发展的诀窍并不是
02:55
wasn't incentivizing companies up front,
65
163288
2161
去激励那些处于先锋地位的公司，
02:57
it was about creating a place
where businesses wanted to locate,
where businesses wanted to locate,
66
165449
3054
而是要开创出一个企业们愿意植根、投资的地方，
03:00
and so he pushed an initiative called MAPS
67
168503
3012
于是他推动了一项名为“MAPS”的倡议。
03:03
that basically was a penny-on-the-dollar sales tax
68
171515
2405
这项倡议主要是以低额销售税为中心
03:05
to build a bunch of stuff.
69
173920
2312
来建立大量的各类设施。
03:08
It built a new sports arena,
70
176232
1975
依照这个发展计划，我们建成了一个崭新的体育竞技场，
03:10
a new canal downtown,
71
178207
2179
一条新的位于市中心的运河，
03:12
it fixed up our performing arts center,
72
180386
2361
并且修缮了我们的表演艺术中心，
03:14
a new baseball stadium downtown,
73
182747
2667
还建起了一个中心棒球场，
03:17
a lot of things to improve the quality of life.
74
185414
1844
以及其他许多提高市民生活品质的事物。
03:19
And the economy indeed seemed to start
75
187258
2413
这样一来，经济似乎开始发展，
03:21
showing some signs of life.
76
189671
2032
并且确实展现出了一些复苏的迹象。
03:23
The next mayor came along.
77
191703
2358
接着，下一任市长就任。
03:26
He started MAPS for Kids,
78
194061
1777
他发起了为孩子们设立的“MAPS”倡议，
03:27
rebuilt the entire inner city school system,
79
195838
2727
重建了整个旧城区的学制，
03:30
all 75 buildings either built anew or refurbished.
80
198565
4754
总共重建、翻新了七十五栋建筑。
03:35
And then, in 2004,
81
203319
3221
然后，在2004年，
03:38
in this rare collective lack of judgment
82
206540
4704
在这难得一见的近乎于非暴力反抗的
03:43
bordering on civil disobedience,
83
211244
2628
对判断力的集体缺失中，
03:45
the citizens elected me mayor.
84
213872
3968
市民们选我为市长。
03:49
Now the city I inherited
85
217840
2204
现在我所继任的这座城市
03:52
was just on the verge
86
220044
1844
正蠢蠢欲动，
03:53
of coming out of its slumbering economy,
87
221888
3401
从它沉眠的经济中苏醒过来，
03:57
and for the very first time,
88
225289
1691
而且头一次，
03:58
we started showing up on the lists.
89
226980
3139
我们开始在排名表中崭露头角。
04:02
Now you know the lists I'm talking about.
90
230119
2017
你们知道我所说的排名表。
04:04
The media and the Internet
91
232136
1783
媒体与网络
04:05
love to rank cities.
92
233919
2546
向来喜好为城市排名。
04:08
And in Oklahoma City,
93
236465
2075
在此之前，在俄克拉何马城，
04:10
we'd never really been on lists before.
94
238540
2681
我们从来没有登上过这些排名表。
04:13
So I thought it was kind of cool
95
241221
1706
所以我认为
04:14
when they came out with these
positive lists and we were on there.
positive lists and we were on there.
96
242927
2696
当这些具有肯定意味的排名中出现了我们的城市时，真是挺酷的。
04:17
We weren't anywhere close to the top,
97
245623
1698
我们的排名并不靠前，
04:19
but we were on the list, we were somebody.
98
247321
3497
但是我们在列表上面，我们有分量。
04:22
Best city to get a job,
99
250818
1830
最佳工作地，
04:24
best city to start a business,
100
252648
2015
最佳创业地，
04:26
best downtown --
101
254663
1793
最出色的商业区——
04:28
Oklahoma City.
102
256456
2474
俄克拉何马城。
04:30
And then came the list
103
258930
3305
然后，又有了
04:34
of the most obese cities in the country.
104
262235
5546
全国最“肥胖”城市的排名。
04:39
And there we were.
105
267781
3103
我们也在其中。
04:42
Now I like to point out that we were on that list
106
270884
2144
现在我很乐意指出一点：有很多
04:45
with a lot of really cool places.
107
273028
2498
很酷的城市和我们一起登上了这个排名。
04:47
(Laughter)
108
275526
1223
（笑声）
04:48
Dallas and Houston and New Orleans
109
276749
3256
达拉斯、休斯顿、新奥尔良、
04:52
and Atlanta and Miami.
110
280005
1710
亚特兰大和迈阿密。
04:53
You know, these are cities that, typically,
111
281715
1497
你们知道，这些城市是那种典型的
04:55
you're not embarrassed to be associated with.
112
283212
2648
没人会羞于与它们有什么联系的城市。
04:57
But nonetheless, I didn't like being on the list.
113
285860
4268
但尽管如此，我并不喜欢被登在这样一个排名上。
05:02
And about that time, I got on the scales.
114
290128
4345
也差不多是在那时，我称了称体重。
05:06
And I weighed 220 pounds.
115
294473
2126
我重约220磅。
05:08
And then I went to this website
116
296599
1503
然后我去了那个
05:10
sponsored by the federal government,
117
298102
1850
由联邦政府赞助的网站，
05:11
and I typed in my height, I typed in my weight,
118
299952
3673
我输入了自己的身高、体重，
05:15
and I pushed Enter,
119
303625
1329
然后我按下“输入”键，
05:16
and it came back and said "obese."
120
304954
4050
结果显示：“肥胖。”
05:21
I thought, "What a stupid website."
121
309004
2253
我想，“这网站太蠢了。”
05:23
(Laughter)
122
311257
2875
--（笑声）--
05:26
"I'm not obese. I would know if I was obese."
123
314132
6245
“我不胖。我要是胖的话我早知道了。”
05:32
And then I started getting honest with myself
124
320377
2491
然后我开始试着对我与肥胖一直都在斗争的事实
05:34
about what had become
my lifelong struggle with obesity,
my lifelong struggle with obesity,
125
322868
4926
诚实一些。
05:39
and I noticed this pattern,
126
327794
1880
而且，我还注意到了一个模式，
05:41
that I was gaining about two or three pounds a year,
127
329674
2691
那就是我几乎每年都要增重两到三磅，
05:44
and then about every 10 years,
I'd drop 20 or 30 pounds.
I'd drop 20 or 30 pounds.
128
332365
3306
然后大概每十年，我都能瘦二十到三十磅。
05:47
And then I'd do it again.
129
335671
1562
然后再循环。
05:49
And I had this huge closet full of clothes,
130
337233
2333
我还有一个装满衣服的大衣柜，
05:51
and I could only wear a third of it at any one time,
131
339566
3367
但是我每次只能穿其中三分之一的衣服，
05:54
and only I knew which part of the closet I could wear.
132
342933
4112
而且只有我知道衣柜中的哪一部分是我可以穿的。
05:59
But it all seemed fairly normal, going through it.
133
347045
5550
但是经历这些，在当时对于我似乎都相当平常。
06:04
Well, I finally decided I needed to lose weight,
134
352595
3082
好吧，我最后终于决定我得减肥，
06:07
and I knew I could because
I'd done it so many times before,
I'd done it so many times before,
135
355677
2417
而且我知道我能做到，因为我以前已经尝试过许多次了，
06:10
so I simply stopped eating as much.
136
358094
2238
于是我就开始不再吃那么多。
06:12
I had always exercised.
137
360332
1255
我那时一直都坚持锻炼。
06:13
That really wasn't the part of the equation
138
361587
1875
我其实真的不必
06:15
that I needed to work on.
139
363462
1913
坚持那样做。
06:17
But I had been eating 3,000 calories a day,
140
365375
2829
但是我曾经一天摄入三千卡热量，
06:20
and I cut it to 2,000 calories a day,
141
368204
2282
然后我将它削减到了一天两千卡，
06:22
and the weight came off. I lost about a pound a week
142
370486
2891
最后我的体重恢复了正常。我每周大约瘦一磅，
06:25
for about 40 weeks.
143
373377
3906
持续了大概四十周。
06:29
Along the way, though,
144
377283
1545
然而，通过这种方式，
06:30
I started examining my city,
145
378828
4020
然后 我开始评估这座城市，
06:34
its culture, its infrastructure,
146
382848
3496
它的文化，它的基础设施，
06:38
trying to figure out why our specific city
147
386344
2892
我努力去寻找我们这座特定的城市
06:41
seemed to have a problem with obesity.
148
389236
4399
之所以有肥胖问题的原因。
06:45
And I came to the conclusion
149
393635
2176
然后我得出了结论，
06:47
that we had built an incredible quality of life
150
395811
3858
那就是如果你碰巧是一辆车的话，
06:51
if you happen to be a car.
151
399669
3420
你的生活水平会达到难以置信地高。
06:55
(Laughter)
152
403089
3235
（笑声）
06:58
But if you happen to be a person,
153
406324
3540
但是如果你碰巧是个人类，
07:01
you are combatting the car seemingly at every turn.
154
409864
4569
那么你似乎正处处与车斗争。
07:06
Our city is very spread out.
155
414433
2273
我们的城市四通八达。
07:08
We have a great intersection of highways,
156
416706
3555
我们拥有庞杂的交错的公路，
07:12
I mean, literally no traffic congestion
in Oklahoma City to speak of.
in Oklahoma City to speak of.
157
420261
3614
我是说，俄克拉何马城确实没有什么值得注意的交通拥塞。
07:15
And so people live far, far away.
158
423875
2211
因此人们住得非常远。
07:18
Our city limits are enormous, 620 square miles,
159
426086
3585
我们的城市范围很广大，620平方英里，
07:21
but 15 miles is less than 15 minutes.
160
429671
3545
但是十五英里的路程花费要比十五分钟少。
07:25
You literally can get a speeding ticket
161
433216
1935
在俄克拉何马城的交通高峰期间，
07:27
during rush hour in Oklahoma City.
162
435151
3597
你都能接到超速行驶的传票。
07:30
And as a result, people tend to spread out.
163
438748
2497
结果，人们就倾向于散开来。
07:33
Land's cheap.
164
441245
3693
地产很便宜。
07:36
We had also not required developers
165
444938
2566
我们也已经很长时间没有再要求开发商们
07:39
to build sidewalks on new developments
for a long, long time.
for a long, long time.
166
447504
2495
在新建住宅区修建人行道了。
07:41
We had fixed that, but it had been relatively recently,
167
449999
2413
我们曾经修缮过人行道，但是这个问题是最近才出现的，
07:44
and there were literally 100,000
168
452412
2394
并且有超过十万个
07:46
or more homes into our inventory
169
454806
2676
出现在我们清单上的家庭
07:49
in neighborhoods that had
virtually no level of walkability.
virtually no level of walkability.
170
457482
6078
都居住在事实上没有任何可步行性的社区中。
07:57
And as I tried to examine
171
465864
2254
在我尽最大努力斟酌
08:00
how we might deal with obesity,
172
468118
1973
我们将怎样对待肥胖症的问题，
08:02
and was taking all of these elements into my mind,
173
470091
1884
并且在脑中考虑着这所有的要素的时候，
08:03
I decided that the first thing we need to do
174
471975
3414
我认为我们的首要任务
08:07
was have a conversation.
175
475389
2120
就是进行一场对话。
08:09
You see, in Oklahoma City,
176
477509
1959
你们知道，在俄克拉何马城，
08:11
we weren't talking about obesity.
177
479468
2781
我们不讨论关于肥胖症的问题。
08:14
And so, on New Year's Eve of 2007,
178
482249
5011
因此，在2007年的除夕夜，
08:19
I went to the zoo,
179
487260
2039
我去了动物园，
08:21
and I stood in front of the elephants,
180
489299
2421
站在大象们的身前，
08:23
and I said, "This city is going on a diet,
181
491720
3863
并且说：“这座城市将要实行节食，
08:27
and we're going to lose a million pounds."
182
495583
3619
而且我们还要减掉一百万磅。”
08:31
Well, that's when all hell broke loose.
183
499202
1773
咳，那就是一切开始变得一团糟的时候。
08:32
(Laughter)
184
500975
2778
（笑声）
08:35
The national media
185
503753
1883
国内媒体
08:37
gravitated toward this story immediately,
186
505636
4517
立刻被这个故事吸引住了，
08:42
and they really could have
gone with it one of two ways.
gone with it one of two ways.
187
510153
2859
他们其实本来可以用一到两天来报道它。
08:45
They could have said,
188
513012
1531
他们本来可以说：“
08:46
"This city is so fat
189
514543
2142
这座城市太‘胖’了
08:48
that the mayor had to put them on a diet."
190
516685
3316
以至于市长不得不让市民们来节食。“
08:52
But fortunately, the consensus was,
191
520001
2503
不过幸运的是，舆论却是这样的：”
08:54
"Look, this is a problem in a lot of places.
192
522504
2347
看，这个问题在很多城市中都很普遍。
08:56
This is a city that's wanting
to do something about it."
to do something about it."
193
524851
3859
然而这个城市想要做些什么来改变这个现状。”
09:00
And so they started helping us
194
528710
1970
因此他们开始帮助我们
09:02
drive traffic to the website.
195
530680
2150
为网站增加流量。
09:04
Now, the web address was
196
532830
1518
现在，这个网址是
09:06
thiscityisgoingonadiet.com.
197
534348
4981
thiscityisgoingonadiet（意为‘这座城市要节食了’）.com。
09:11
And I appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"
198
539329
3419
一个工作日的早晨
09:14
one weekday morning to talk about the initiative,
199
542748
3420
我去了谈话节目“艾伦秀”并且谈了谈这个方案，
09:18
and on that day, 150,000 visits
200
546168
3520
在那一天，十五万个访问者
09:21
were placed to our website.
201
549688
1820
来到了我们的网站。
09:23
People were signing up,
202
551508
1574
人们开始注册，
09:25
and so the pounds started to add up,
203
553082
2846
因此我们网站的分量开始增长，
09:27
and the conversation that I thought
204
555928
1607
那场我认为很重要的谈话
09:29
was so important to have was starting to take place.
205
557535
3764
开始进行。
09:33
It was taking place inside the homes,
206
561299
2549
它在人们的家庭中进行，
09:35
mothers and fathers talking about it with their kids.
207
563848
2577
父母与孩子们讨论肥胖症的问题。
09:38
It was taking place in churches.
208
566425
2661
它同样也在教堂中进行。
09:41
Churches were starting their own running groups
209
569086
1996
教堂开始为想要解决肥胖问题的人
09:43
and their own support groups
210
571082
1288
组建他们自己的跑步小组
09:44
for people who were dealing with obesity.
211
572370
2732
和支持团队。
09:47
Suddenly, it was a topic worth discussing at schools
212
575102
3412
突然，它成为了一个值得在
09:50
and in the workplace.
213
578514
1632
学校和工作单位讨论的问题。
09:52
And the large companies, they typically have
214
580146
2161
那些大公司
09:54
wonderful wellness programs,
215
582307
1596
都拥有完善的健康项目，
09:55
but the medium-sized companies
216
583903
1323
但是那些中等规模的公司
09:57
that typically fall between the cracks
on issues like this,
on issues like this,
217
585226
3085
忽略了像这样的问题，
10:00
they started to get engaged and used our program
218
588311
2701
于是他们签署协定并且开始加入我们的计划，
10:03
as a model for their own employees
219
591012
1856
以此作为员工们的模范。
10:04
to try and have contests to see
220
592868
1946
他们尝试，并且发起竞赛，以此来见证
10:06
who might be able to deal with their obesity situation
221
594814
3815
谁有可能以一种于他人而言也积极有效的方式
10:10
in a way that could be proactively
beneficial to others.
beneficial to others.
222
598629
4967
解决他们自己的肥胖问题。
10:15
And then came the next stage of the equation.
223
603596
4621
然后，我们步入了下一阶段。
10:20
It was time to push what I called MAPS 3.
224
608217
4012
到了推行我所说的“MAPS”3倡议的时候。
10:24
Now MAPS 3, like the other two programs,
225
612229
2200
现在，“MAPS”3，就像其他两个方案一样，
10:26
had had an economic development motive behind it,
226
614429
2664
有在其背后助推的经济动机，
10:29
but along with the traditional
economic development tasks
economic development tasks
227
617093
2820
但是连同那些传统的经济发展工作一起，
10:31
like building a new convention center,
228
619913
1762
比如说建立一座新的会议中心，
10:33
we added some health-related infrastructure
229
621675
2764
我们在这个过程中加入了一些健康相关的
10:36
to the process.
230
624439
1892
基础设施。
10:38
We added a new central park, 70 acres in size,
231
626331
2745
我们在俄克拉何马城的市中心
10:41
to be right downtown in Oklahoma City.
232
629076
2390
新建了一个七十英亩的中心公园。
10:43
We're building a downtown streetcar
233
631466
1779
我们致力建设市中心的有轨电车，
10:45
to try and help the walkability formula
234
633245
2248
以便帮助解决住在市中心的人们
10:47
for people who choose to live in the inner city
235
635493
2052
的步行问题
10:49
and help us create the density there.
236
637545
3377
并且提升中心城区的人口密度。
10:52
We're building senior health and wellness centers
237
640922
3355
我们也在整个社区建设高标准的
10:56
throughout the community.
238
644277
1698
保健与健康中心。
10:57
We put some investments on the river
239
645975
1688
我们同样也对原来“MAPS”协议在当初
10:59
that had originally been invested upon
240
647663
2536
投资开发过的河流
11:02
in the original MAPS,
241
650199
1680
进行了一些投资，
11:03
and now we are currently in the final stages
242
651879
1944
目前我们已经步入了
11:05
of developing the finest venue in the world
243
653823
2651
发展世界上最佳的皮划艇、赛艇运动场所的
11:08
for the sports of canoe, kayak and rowing.
244
656474
2816
最后阶段。
11:11
We hosted the Olympic trials last spring.
245
659290
1892
我们去年春天举办了奥运会的选拔赛。
11:13
We have Olympic-caliber events
coming to Oklahoma City,
coming to Oklahoma City,
246
661182
2404
俄克拉何马城迎来了奥林匹克水准的赛事，
11:15
and athletes from all over the world moving in,
247
663586
2556
来自世界各地的运动员们随着市中心改造项目的进行
11:18
along with inner city programs
248
666142
1602
一起来到这里，从而促进孩子们
11:19
to get kids more engaged in these
types of recreational activities
types of recreational activities
249
667744
3950
更加积极地投身这些有点打破传统的
11:23
that are a little bit nontraditional.
250
671694
2800
休闲活动中去。
11:26
We also, with another initiative that was passed,
251
674494
3726
我们也同另外一个已通过的提案一起
11:30
are building hundreds of miles of new sidewalks
252
678220
3843
在都会区修建
11:34
throughout the metro area.
253
682063
2399
数百英里的新人行道。
11:36
We're even going back into some
254
684462
1845
我们甚至回到了一些
11:38
inner city situations
255
686307
1495
已经建设了居民区
11:39
where we had built neighborhoods
256
687802
1714
与学校，
11:41
and we had built schools
257
689516
1681
但是我们还没有把二者连接起来的
11:43
but we had not connected the two.
258
691197
1926
中心城区去。
11:45
We had built libraries and
we had built neighborhoods,
we had built neighborhoods,
259
693123
2718
我们在此之前已经建立了图书馆与社区，
11:47
but we had never really connected the two
260
695841
1605
但是我们从来没有真正地以任何可步行的方式
11:49
with any sort of walkability.
261
697446
2424
将这二者连接起来。
11:51
Through yet another funding source,
262
699870
2099
我们还通过其他的筹资渠道
11:53
we're redesigning all of our inner city streets
263
701969
3335
来重新设计市中心的所有街道
11:57
to be more pedestrian-friendly.
264
705304
1510
来使得它们更加适合步行。
11:58
Our streets were really wide,
265
706814
1877
我们的街道曾经确实很宽，
12:00
and you'd push the button
to allow you to walk across,
to allow you to walk across,
266
708691
2427
可是你必须立刻动身来确保自己能够步行穿过街道，
12:03
and you had to run in order to get there in time.
267
711118
3548
然后不得不飞奔才能及时到达街道的另一边。
12:06
But now we've narrowed the streets,
268
714666
1908
不过现在我们将街道缩窄了，
12:08
highly landscaped them, making them
more pedestrian-friendly,
more pedestrian-friendly,
269
716574
2908
对它们进行了高度的美化，使它们更加适于步行，
12:11
really a redesign, rethinking the way
270
719482
2467
并且进行了真正意义上的重设计，重新考虑了我们
12:13
we build our infrastructure,
271
721949
1548
建设基础设施的方式，
12:15
designing a city around people and not cars.
272
723497
5247
建立起了一个以人而非车辆为中心的城市。
12:20
We're completing our bicycle trail master plan.
273
728744
2121
我们同时也在完成“自行车远足者”的计划。
12:22
We'll have over 100 miles
274
730865
1818
通过达成这一计划，
12:24
when we're through building it out.
275
732683
2792
我们将达到超过一百英里的成绩。
12:27
And so you see this culture starting to shift
276
735475
3261
因此，你们可以看到俄克拉何马城的文化
12:30
in Oklahoma City.
277
738736
1504
开始转变。
12:32
And lo and behold, the demographic changes
278
740240
2677
而且你们可以看到，随之而来的人口结构的变化
12:34
that are coming with it are very inspiring.
279
742917
2980
真是非常鼓舞人心。
12:37
Highly educated twentysomethings
280
745897
1583
受过高等教育的二十来岁的年轻人们
12:39
are moving to Oklahoma City from all over the region
281
747480
2060
从各个地区，甚至从更远的地方，比如加利福尼亚，
12:41
and, indeed, even from further away, in California.
282
749540
4100
搬往俄克拉何马城。
12:48
When we reached a million pounds,
283
756715
2336
2012年1月，
12:51
in January of 2012,
284
759051
2301
当我们达到了一百万磅的目标时，
12:53
I flew to New York with some our participants
285
761352
2443
我和一些减掉了将近一百磅，
12:55
who had lost over 100 pounds,
286
763795
1530
生活已经因此而改变的参与者们
12:57
whose lives had been changed,
287
765325
2285
一起飞往纽约，
12:59
and we appeared on the Rachael Ray show,
288
767610
2171
并且去了“瑞秋美食秀”，
13:01
and then that afternoon,
I did a round of media in New York
I did a round of media in New York
289
769781
3407
那天下午，我在纽约的很多媒体
13:05
pushing the same messages
290
773188
2441
发表了，人们已习惯于听到的，肥胖症以及它所带来的危害
13:07
that you're accustomed to hearing
about obesity and the dangers of it.
about obesity and the dangers of it.
291
775629
4096
的相同的观点。
13:11
And I went into the lobby of Men's Fitness magazine,
292
779725
4981
然后我又走进了男性健康杂志的会客室，
13:16
the same magazine that had put us on that list
293
784706
4376
也就是那家在五年前
13:21
five years before.
294
789082
2363
将我们列入那个肥胖排名表的杂志。
13:23
And as I'm sitting in the lobby
waiting to talk to the reporter,
waiting to talk to the reporter,
295
791445
2947
当我坐在会客室里，等待与记者谈话的时候，
13:26
I notice there's a magazine copy
296
794402
2384
我注意到一张桌子上正放着
13:28
of the current issue right there on the table,
297
796786
2619
一份现刊的拷贝，
13:31
and I pick it up, and I look at the headline
298
799405
1656
于是我将它拿起来，并且看了看
13:33
across the top, and it says,
299
801061
1765
顶部的头条，上面写着：“
13:34
"America's Fattest Cities: Do You Live in One?"
300
802826
4681
美国最”肥胖“城市：你正身处其中吗？“
13:39
Well, I knew I did,
301
807507
2145
好吧，我知道我确实身处其中，
13:41
so I picked up the magazine
302
809652
2152
所以我翻开杂志
13:43
and I began to look,
303
811804
3011
开始阅读，
13:46
and we weren't on it.
304
814815
2746
然而，上面没有俄克拉何马城的名字。
13:49
(Applause)
305
817561
4418
（掌声）
13:55
Then I looked on the list of fittest cities,
306
823984
2925
然后我看了看最健康城市的排名，
13:58
and we were on that list.
307
826909
2163
我们就在其中。
14:01
We were on the list as the 22nd
fittest city in the United States.
fittest city in the United States.
308
829072
3378

诚然，我们仍有很长的一段路要走。
14:09
Health is still not something
311
837749
1139
我们仍不应该以
14:10
that we should be proud of in Oklahoma City,
312
838888
1537
俄克拉何马城的健康水准而感到骄傲，
14:12

但是我们似乎已经完成了使健康具有更高优先权的
14:16
of making health a greater priority.
314
844208
3081
文化转变。

1449
人们感到无比欣喜。
14:27
We have the lowest unemployment
in the United States,

我们拥有全美最低的失业率，

如果你也像我一样，在学习生涯中的

14:38
"The Grapes of Wrath."
324
866544

《愤怒的葡萄》的书，

14:44
in large numbers for a better future.

2443
加利福尼亚去寻求更好的未来。
14:46
When we look at the demographic shifts

14:48
of people coming from the west,
328
876655
1160
引起的人口变化时，
14:49
it appears that what we're seeing now

Why you should listen
The world is noticing Oklahoma City’s renaissance and its mayor, Mick Cornett. His list of awards includes nods for urban design, health, sports and the arts. Newsweek called him one of the five most innovative mayors in the country. London-based World Mayors listed him as the No. 2 mayor in the world, and Governing magazine named him the Public Official of the Year.
Best known for helping Oklahoma City attract an NBA franchise and putting Oklahoma City “on a diet,” Cornett also led the charge to pass MAPS 3, an innovative $800 million investment in parks, urban transit, wellness centers and infrastructure that will dramatically reshape Oklahoma City and enhance the quality of life of its residents.
