休埃文斯发起了一个动员“世界公民”的运动，世界公民是指那些不将自己定义成为一个国家，种族或者部落的一员，而是全人类的一员。在这个令人振奋和私人的演讲当中，学习更多关于这些认识是如何激发人们去行动和反抗极端的贫穷，气候变化，性别歧视等等。“他们最终会成为全球的问题，”埃文斯说，“他们也只能通过世界公民从他们的领导当中寻找全球性的解决方案加以解决。”

Her name is Davinia.

她叫达维妮雅

现在住在华盛顿的外面
00:26
She's not a high-powered
political staffer,
political staffer,
4
14262
2802
她不是有权力的政治家
00:29
nor a lobbyist.
5
17088
1173
也不是一个说客
00:30
She'd probably tell you
she's quite unremarkable,
she's quite unremarkable,
6
18676
2929
她可能会告诉你
她挺不起眼的
她挺不起眼的
00:33
but she's having
the most remarkable impact.
the most remarkable impact.
7
21629
2525
但她却造成了非凡的影响
00:36
What's incredible about Davinia
8
24471
1520
她不可思议的地方在于
00:38
is that she's willing to spend
time every single week
time every single week
9
26015
2863
她愿意每周花时间
00:40
focused on people who are not her:
10
28902
2405
去专注于那些和她没有关系的人
00:43
people not her in her neighborhood,
her state, nor even in her country --
her state, nor even in her country --
11
31331
4379
这些人不是她的邻居，不在她的州，甚至不在她的国家
00:47
people she'd likely never meet.
12
35734
2233
这些人她可能从未见过
00:49
Davinia's impact started a few years ago
13
37991
1940
达维妮雅的影响开始于几年前
00:51
when she reached out
to all of her friends on Facebook,
to all of her friends on Facebook,
14
39955
2744
当她在脸书伸手向朋友寻求帮助
00:54
and asked them to donate their pennies
15
42723
2183
让他们捐助一些小钱
00:56
so she could fund girls' education.
16
44930
2443
她就可以资助女孩的教育发展
00:59
She wasn't expecting a huge response,
17
47397
2407
她没想过有这么大的回应
01:01
but 700,000 pennies later,
18
49828
2783
但她后来获得了700000便士
01:04
she's now sent over 120 girls to school.
19
52635
3316
她可以让120个女孩上学校了
01:07
When we spoke last week,
20
55975
1187
我们上个星期刚刚谈过
01:09
she told me she's become
a little infamous at the local bank
a little infamous at the local bank
21
57186
3038
她说她在当地银行不怎么受欢迎
01:12
every time she rocks up
with a shopping cart full of pennies.
with a shopping cart full of pennies.
22
60248
4278
因为每次她都慢慢地推着一推车的便士来到银行
01:17
Now -- Davinia is not alone.
23
65042
2566
现在 达维妮雅并不孤单
01:20
Far from it.
24
68161
1153
远非如此
01:21
She's part of a growing movement.
25
69717
2286
她不过是蓬勃发展运动中的一部分
01:24
And there's a name
for people like Davinia:
for people like Davinia:
26
72027
2033
有一个词可以形容他们
01:26
global citizens.
27
74663
1437
世界公民
01:28
A global citizen is someone
who self-identifies first and foremost
who self-identifies first and foremost
28
76935
4471
世界公民是指那些不将自我定义成
01:33
not as a member of a state,
a tribe or a nation,
a tribe or a nation,
29
81430
3802
一个国家 部落
或者民族的成员
或者民族的成员
01:37
but as a member of the human race,
30
85256
2187
而是整个人类中的一员
01:39
and someone who is prepared
to act on that belief,
to act on that belief,
31
87467
4840
并且他们已经为遵循这条信念
做好了准备
做好了准备
01:44
to tackle our world's greatest challenges.
32

支持和动员这些世界公民
01:52
They exist in every country
35
100634
1898
他们存在于每个国家
01:54
and among every demographic.
36
102556
1903
存在于众多人当中
01:57
I want to make the case to you today
37
105008
1762
我今天会举一个实例
01:58
that the world's future depends
on global citizens.
on global citizens.
38
106794
3078
表明世界公民将决定
世界的未来
世界的未来
02:01
I'm convinced that if we had
more global citizens active in our world,
more global citizens active in our world,
39
109896
4302
我很确信 如果我们世界
有更多的世界公民参与
有更多的世界公民参与
02:06
then every single one
of the major challenges we face --
of the major challenges we face --
40
114222
2735
那我们现在面对的各种挑战
02:08
from poverty, climate change,
gender inequality --
gender inequality --
41
116981
3598
例如贫穷 气候变化 性别歧视
02:12
these issues become solvable.
42
120603
2184
这些都可以得到解决
02:14
They are ultimately global issues,
43
122811
2596
他们最终都会成为世界性问题
02:17
and they can ultimately only be solved
44
125431
1881
并且最终通过世界公民向他们的领导者
02:19
by global citizens demanding
global solutions from their leaders.
global solutions from their leaders.
45
127336
4395
寻求全球性的解决方案的方式解决
02:24
Now, some people's immediate
reaction to this idea
reaction to this idea
46
132731
2501
现在 有些人第一反应觉得这个想法
02:27
is that it's either a bit utopian
or even threatening.
or even threatening.
47
135256
3868
有点理想化
甚至有些危险
甚至有些危险
02:31
So I'd like to share with you
a little of my story today,
a little of my story today,
48
139561
3055
所以今天想告诉你们一个
我的小故事
我的小故事
02:34
how I ended up here,
49
142640
1711
告诉你 我是怎么最后站在这里的
02:36
how it connects with Davinia
50
144375
1788
以及这个故事是如何与达维尼亚
联系的

02:38
and, hopefully, with you.

并且可以的话 让你产生共鸣
02:40
Growing up in Melbourne, Australia,
52
148256
1816
我在澳大利亚的墨尔本长大
02:42
I was one of those seriously
irritating little kids
irritating little kids
53
150096
3339
我曾是最调皮捣蛋的小孩子之一
02:45
that never, ever stopped asking, "Why?"
54
153459
2324
并且不停地喜欢问为什么
02:47
You might have been one yourself.
55
155807
1595
你可能也是这样
02:49
I used to ask my mum
the most annoying questions.
the most annoying questions.
56
157426
3372
我曾经问过我妈妈一个最恼人的问题
02:52
I'd ask her questions like,
"Mum, why I can't I dress up
"Mum, why I can't I dress up
57
160822
2799
我问的是
妈妈 为什么我不能穿衣打扮
妈妈 为什么我不能穿衣打扮
02:55
and play with puppets all day?"
58
163645
1927
然后跟木偶玩上一整天？
02:57
"Why do you want fries with that?"
59
165596
2000
为什么你要薯条跟这个放一起呢
02:59
"What is a shrimp,
60
167936
1190
虾子是什么
03:01
and why do we have to keep
throwing them on the barbie?"
throwing them on the barbie?"
61
169150
2672
而且为什么我们要把这货
扔到芭比娃娃的头上？
扔到芭比娃娃的头上？
03:03
(Laughter)
62
171846
1001
（笑）
03:04
"And mum -- this haircut.
63
172871
1808
妈妈 我的头型
03:06
Why?"
64
174703
1173
为什么要弄成这样
03:07
(Laughter)
65
175900
1428
（笑）
03:10
The worst haircut, I think.
66
178126
1754
我觉得是史上最丑头型
03:13
Still terrible.
67
181364
1151
现在也是
03:14
As a "why" kid, I thought
I could change the world,
I could change the world,
68
182539
2802
作为一个喜欢问为什么的男孩
我觉得我可以改变世界
我觉得我可以改变世界
03:17
and it was impossible
to convince me otherwise.
to convince me otherwise.
69
185365
2600
而且那时我不可能会被说服
03:19
And when I was 12
and in my first year of high school,
and in my first year of high school,
70
187989
2587
我12岁在初中的第一年
03:22
I started raising money
for communities in the developing world.
for communities in the developing world.
71
190600
3237
我开始筹钱去帮助那些发展中国家的社区
03:25
We were a really
enthusiastic group of kids,
enthusiastic group of kids,
72
193861
2195
我们是一帮热情四溢的小毛孩儿
03:28
and we raised more money
than any other school in Australia.
than any other school in Australia.
73
196080
3261
而且我们在澳大利亚筹到了最多的钱
03:31
And so I was awarded the chance
to go to the Philippines to learn more.
to go to the Philippines to learn more.
74
199365
3588
因此我也得到了一个
去菲律宾学习更多的机会
去菲律宾学习更多的机会
03:34
It was 1998.
75
202977
1914
那时是1998年
03:36
We were taken into a slum
in the outskirts of Manila.
in the outskirts of Manila.
76
204915
3687
我们被带到马尼拉郊外
的一个贫民窑里
的一个贫民窑里
03:40
It was there I became friends
with Sonny Boy,
with Sonny Boy,
77
208626
3730
在那里我认识了一个叫桑尼的男孩
03:44
who lived on what was literally
a pile of steaming garbage.
a pile of steaming garbage.
78
212380
3539
他简直是生活在一堆
冒热气的垃圾当中
冒热气的垃圾当中
03:48
"Smoky Mountain" was what they called it.
79
216617
2009
他们管这些垃圾叫”冒烟的山“
03:50
But don't let the romance
of that name fool you,
of that name fool you,
80
218650
2285
不要被这浪漫的名字给诱惑了
03:52
because it was nothing more
than a rancid landfill
than a rancid landfill
81
220959
2361
因为它只不过是散着恶臭味的垃圾堆
03:55
that kids like Sonny Boy spent hours
rummaging through every single day
rummaging through every single day
82
223344
4341
这些像桑尼的孩子却要每天花大量的时间
去搜寻这些垃圾
去搜寻这些垃圾
03:59
to find something, anything of value.
83
227709
2936
看里面有没有什么值钱的东西
04:03
That night with Sonny Boy and his family
changed my life forever,
changed my life forever,
84
231304
3276
那个夜晚 桑尼和他的家庭
永久性地改变了我
永久性地改变了我
04:06
because when it came time to go to sleep,
85
234604
2023
因为当我们到了睡觉的时间
04:08
we simply laid down on this concrete
slab the size of half my bedroom
slab the size of half my bedroom
86
236651
3747
我们睡在混凝土的地板上
而它只有我的卧室一半大
而它只有我的卧室一半大
04:12
with myself, Sonny Boy,
and the rest of his family,
and the rest of his family,
87
240422
2906
却住着我 桑尼 和他的整个家庭
04:15
seven of us in this long line,
88
243352
1611
7个人睡成一条长线
04:16
with the smell of rubbish all around us
89
244987
2394
闻着身边垃圾的臭味
04:19
and cockroaches crawling all around.
90
247405
2134
蟑螂遍地都是
04:21
And I didn't sleep a wink,
91
249952
1279
我一直睡不着
04:23
but I lay awake thinking to myself,
92
251255
1709
我一边清醒着 一边问自己
04:24
"Why should anyone have to live like this
93
252988
2482
为什么会有人住在这样的地方
04:27
when I have so much?
94
255494
1352
当我有那么优厚的条件的时候
04:29
Why should Sonny Boy's ability
to live out his dreams
to live out his dreams
95
257290
2746
为什么桑尼实现他梦想的能力
04:32
be determined by where he's born,
96
260060
2046
却由他的出生所决定？
04:34
or what Warren Buffett called
'the ovarian lottery?'"
'the ovarian lottery?'"
97
262130
2761
或者就像巴菲特说的
“中了一张排卵彩票”？
“中了一张排卵彩票”？
04:37
I just didn't get it,
98
265197
1757
我就是不理解
04:38
and I needed to understand why.
99
266978
1866
而且我需要知道为什么
04:41
Now, I only later came to understand
100
269656
2346
我后来才理解
04:44
that the poverty I'd seen
in the Philippines
in the Philippines
101
272026
2428
我在菲律宾看到的贫穷
04:46
was the result of decisions made
or not made, man-made,
or not made, man-made,
102
274478
4309
是各种决定和未决定，
由人制造的结果
由人制造的结果
04:50
by a succession of colonial powers
and corrupt governments
and corrupt governments
103
278811
3405
像一个接一个的殖民列强
或是腐败的政府
或是腐败的政府
04:54
who had anything but the interests
of Sonny Boy at heart.
of Sonny Boy at heart.
104
282240
3165
拥有一切却对桑尼男孩这样的人的生活毫无兴趣
04:57
Sure, they didn't create Smoky Mountain,
but they may as well have.
but they may as well have.
105
285429
3800
它们没有直接创造出”冒烟山“
却也参与到了其中
却也参与到了其中
05:01
And if we're to try to help
kids like Sonny Boy,
kids like Sonny Boy,
106
289253
2601
如果我们想要帮助像桑尼男孩的孩子们
05:03
it wouldn't work just to try
to send him a few dollars
to send him a few dollars
107
291878
2692
给他们一点小钱
05:06
or to try to clean up
the garbage dump on which he lived,
the garbage dump on which he lived,
108
294594
3088
或者清理他们的垃圾
都没有太大的用处
都没有太大的用处
05:09
because the core
of the problem lay elsewhere.
of the problem lay elsewhere.
109
297706
2484
因为核心的问题还没有解决
05:12
And as I worked on community
development projects over the coming years
development projects over the coming years
110
300214
3659
在那几年我在那里的社区发展项目工作
05:15
trying to help build schools,
111
303897
1842
试着帮助他们建学校
05:17
train teachers, and tackle HIV and AIDS,
112
305763
3041
培训老师 应对艾滋病
05:20
I came to see that community development
113
308828
2437
我开始发现社区的发展
05:23
should be driven
by communities themselves,
by communities themselves,
114
311289
2556
应该是由社区自身来驱动的
05:25
and that although charity is necessary,
it's not sufficient.
it's not sufficient.
115
313869
3753
虽然对他们的施舍是必要的
但这些还不够
但这些还不够
05:29
We need to confront these challenges
116
317646
1861
我们必须要用一个系统的方法
05:31
on a global scale and in a systemic way.
117
319531
2666
来面对这些全球性的困难
05:34
And the best thing I could do
118
322221
1445
我能做的最好的就是
05:35
is try to mobilize a large group
of citizens back home
of citizens back home
119
323690
3507
就是动员这些世界公民们回家
05:39
to insist that our leaders engage
in that systemic change.
in that systemic change.
120
327221
3563
去坚持让我们的领导者加入
到这样系统性的改变当中
到这样系统性的改变当中
05:43
That's why, a few years later,
121
331315
2000
这也是为什么
几年以后
几年以后
05:45
I joined with a group of college friends
122
333339
2269
我跟我一群大学的朋友一起
05:47
in bringing the Make Poverty History
campaign to Australia.
campaign to Australia.
123
335632
3378
在澳洲开展“让贫穷成为历史”的运动
05:51
We had this dream of staging
this small concert
this small concert
124
339447
3378
秉持着这样的梦想
我们开展了一个小型的音乐会
我们开展了一个小型的音乐会
05:54
around the time of the G20
with local Aussie artists,
with local Aussie artists,
125
342849
3873
就在G20峰会期间
囊括了许多澳大利亚艺人
囊括了许多澳大利亚艺人
05:58
and it suddenly exploded one day
126
346746
1652
这个活动突然获得了巨大的成功
06:00
when we got a phone call from Bono,
the Edge and Pearl Jam,
the Edge and Pearl Jam,
127
348422
3602
我们接到来自波诺，
边缘乐队，珍珠果酱乐队的电话
边缘乐队，珍珠果酱乐队的电话
06:04
who all agreed to headline our concert.
128
352048
3269
他们都答应来参加我们的音乐会
06:07
I got a little bit excited
that day, as you can see.
that day, as you can see.
129
355341
2601
那天我有点激动
你可以看得出来
你可以看得出来
06:09
(Laughter)
130
357966
1938
（笑）
06:11
But to our amazement,
131
359928
1279
但令我们惊讶的是
06:13
the Australian government
heard our collective voices,
heard our collective voices,
132
361231
3092
澳大利亚政府听到了我们
集体的声音
集体的声音
06:16
and they agreed to double investment
into global health and development --
into global health and development --
133
364347
3694
他们答应将对全球的
健康和发展的支持提高一倍
健康和发展的支持提高一倍
06:20
an additional 6.2 billion dollars.
134
368065
2715
增加了额外的总共62亿美元
06:23
It felt like --
135
371280
1175
这感觉就像——
06:24
(Applause)
136
372479
4459
（鼓掌）
06:28
It felt like this incredible validation.
137
376962
2593
这感觉就像一个不可思议的验证
06:31
By rallying citizens together,
we helped persuade our government
we helped persuade our government
138
379579
3366
通过将世界公民团结在一起
我们说服了我们的政府
我们说服了我们的政府
06:34
to do the unthinkable,
139
382969
1486
去做一些不敢想象的事情
06:36
and act to fix a problem
miles outside of our borders.
miles outside of our borders.
140
384479
3645
并采取行动去解决那些
我们边界外的 数英里远的地区的问题
我们边界外的 数英里远的地区的问题
06:40
But here's the thing:
141
388965
1302
但是 问题是
06:43
it didn't last.
142
391156
1301
这并没有持续很久
06:44
See, there was a change in government,
143
392999
1896
政府里面也发生了变化
06:46
and six years later, all that new money
144
394919
2688
6年以后，所有之前额外加入的钱
06:49
disappeared.
145
397631
1166
一个子也没有了
06:51
What did we learn?
146
399542
1232
我们从中学到了什么
06:53
We learned that one-off spikes
are not enough.
are not enough.
147
401703
3077
我们学到了仅仅昙花一现是不够的
06:57
We needed a sustainable movement,
148
405225
2460
我们需要的是可以不断持续的运动
06:59
not one that is susceptible
to the fluctuating moods of a politician
to the fluctuating moods of a politician
149
407709
3984
而不会时常受到情
绪时常波动的政治家
绪时常波动的政治家
07:03
or the hint of an economic downturn.
150
411717
2277
和经济衰退的影响
07:06
And it needed to happen everywhere;
151
414018
2102
那就要使运动发生在世界各地
07:08
otherwise, every individual government
would have this built-in excuse mechanism
would have this built-in excuse mechanism
152
416144
3905
否则 每个政府就有理由推托说
07:12
that they couldn't possibly carry
the burden of global action alone.
the burden of global action alone.
153
420073
4109
这些的全球性的负担
它们不能独自承受
它们不能独自承受
07:17
And so this is what we embarked upon.
154
425405
2095
这也是我们开始做的
07:20
And as we embarked upon
this challenge, we asked ourselves,
this challenge, we asked ourselves,
155
428103
2977
开始做之前 我们问了自己
一个问题
一个问题
07:23
how do we gain enough pressure
and build a broad enough army
and build a broad enough army
156
431104
3497
我们要怎样获得足够的压力
以建立一只足够强大的部队
以建立一只足够强大的部队
07:26
to win these fights for the long term?
157
434625
2088
来长期地赢得这场战争
07:29
We could only think of one way.
158
437419
1967
我们只想出了一种办法
07:32
We needed to somehow turn
that short-term excitement
that short-term excitement
159
440034
2711
我们需要以某种方式
让人们对于参与对抗贫穷的运动
让人们对于参与对抗贫穷的运动
07:34
of people involved with
the Make Poverty History campaign
the Make Poverty History campaign
160
442769
2897
从短时间的兴奋
07:37
into long-term passion.
161
445690
1602
变为长时间的激情
07:39
It had to be part of their identity.
162
447822
1997
让这样的激情成为他身份当中的一部分
07:42
So in 2012, we cofounded an organization
that had exactly that as its goal.
that had exactly that as its goal.
163
450319
4922
所以在2012年 我们一起成立了一个组织
来专门为了达成这个目标
来专门为了达成这个目标
07:47
And there was only one name for it:
164
455836
1889
这个组织只有一个名字
07:50
Global Citizen.
165
458359
1199
世界公民
07:52
But this is not about
any one organization.
any one organization.
166
460241
2507
但这又又不像是任何一个组织
07:55
This is about citizens taking action.
167
463295
2323
而是这些公民们积极采取行动
07:58
And research data tells us
168
466041
1761
研究数据表明
07:59
that of the total population
who even care about global issues,
who even care about global issues,
169
467826
4231
关注世界问题的总人口当中
08:04
only 18 percent have done
anything about it.
anything about it.
170
472081
3505
大概只有18%的人付出了行动
08:08
It's not that people don't want to act.
171
476237
2334
不是人们不想做
08:10
It's often that they don't
know how to take action,
know how to take action,
172
478595
2431
而是他们不知道怎么做
08:13
or that they believe that their actions
will have no effect.
will have no effect.
173
481050
3101
或者他们觉得他们的行动
起不到作用
起不到作用
08:16
So we had to somehow recruit
and activate millions of citizens
and activate millions of citizens
174
484175
3525
所以我们需要以某种方式
招募和激励这数百万的
招募和激励这数百万的
08:19
in dozens of countries
175
487724
1661
来自几十个国家的公民
08:21
to put pressure on their leaders
to behave altruistically.
to behave altruistically.
176
489409
3299
让他们向领导人施压
使他们更为无私
使他们更为无私
08:24
And as we did so, we discovered
something really thrilling,
something really thrilling,
177
492732
3021
当我们这样做之后
我们发现了一些兴奋的事情
我们发现了一些兴奋的事情
08:28
that when you make
global citizenship your mission,
global citizenship your mission,
178
496261
2952
当你把世界公民运动当做你的任务
08:31
you suddenly find yourself
with some extraordinary allies.
with some extraordinary allies.
179
499237
3482
你突然就发现你有一群
非凡的盟友
非凡的盟友
08:34
See, extreme poverty isn't the only issue
that's fundamentally global.
that's fundamentally global.
180
502743
3865
极端贫穷不仅仅全球问题的全部
08:38
So, too, is climate change,
181
506632
1864
还有气候变化
08:40
human rights, gender equality,
182
508520
2576
人权 性别平等
08:43
even conflict.
183
511120
1586
甚至战争
08:44
We found ourselves shoulder to shoulder
184
512730
2592
我们发现我们正与那些
08:47
with people who are passionate about
targeting all these interrelated issues.
targeting all these interrelated issues.
185
515346
3645
同样对解决全球问题有激情的
人们协同作战
人们协同作战
08:51
But how did we actually
go about recruiting
go about recruiting
186
519316
2037
但是我们要怎么样去招募
08:53
and engaging those global citizens?
187
521377
1926
并让这些世界公民参与到活动中来呢
08:55
Well, we used the universal language:
188
523327
3271
我们用了世界共同的语言
08:59
music.
189
527034
1229
音乐
09:00
We launched the Global Citizen Festival
190
528287
2263
我们创立了世界公民节日
09:02
in the heart of New York City
in Central Park,
in Central Park,
191
530574
2850
就在纽约的中心 中央公园里
09:05
and we persuaded some of the world's
biggest artists to participate.
biggest artists to participate.
192
533448
3768
我们说服了一些世界最有名的
音乐家来参加
音乐家来参加
09:09
We made sure that
these festivals coincided
these festivals coincided
193
537240
2316
我们确保这些节日
09:11
with the UN General Assembly meeting,
194
539580
2141
跟联合国大会会议一并进行
09:13
so that leaders who need
to hear our voices
to hear our voices
195
541745
2454
让那些需要听到我们的声音
的领导者们
的领导者们
09:16
couldn't possible ignore them.
196
544223
1729
没办法去忽略它们
09:18
But there was a twist:
197
546828
1341
不过有一个小转折的地方
09:20
you couldn't buy a ticket.
198
548884
1655
你不能买门票
09:22
You had to earn it.
199
550563
1190
必须通过实际行动来赢得
09:24
You had to take action
on behalf of a global cause,
on behalf of a global cause,
200
552220
2977
你必须去做那些能够代表全球事业的事情
09:27
and only once you'd done that
could you earn enough points to qualify.
could you earn enough points to qualify.
201
555221
3592
只有这样你才能得到足够的点数
来获取资格
来获取资格
09:31
Activism is the currency.
202
559200
2263
行动才是唯一的通行证
09:34
I had no interest in citizenship
purely as some sort of feel-good thing.
purely as some sort of feel-good thing.
203
562079
4400
我对世界公民这个无非只是些让你自我感觉良好的身份没有兴趣
09:38
For me, citizenship means you have to act,
and that's what we required.
and that's what we required.
204
566503
4277
对我而言 享有世界公民身份意味着你必须要行动
这才是我们所需要的
这才是我们所需要的
09:42
And amazingly, it worked.
205
570804
1961
好的是 它起作用了
09:44
Last year, more than 155,000 citizens
in the New York area alone

206
572789
4707

10:01
See, we don't need to create
global citizens from nothing.

211
589708
4103
看到了吗 我们不需要创造什么
世界公民出来
世界公民出来
10:05
We're already everywhere.
212
593835
1929
我们已经存在于这个世界了
10:07
We just need to be organized
213
595788
2179
我们只需要被组织
10:09
and motivated to start acting.
214
597991
1648
或者被动员起来去采取行动
10:12
And this is where I believe
we can learn a lot from Davinia,

很多硬币
10:38
Now, maybe that doesn't sound
like a lot to you.
like a lot to you.
225
626264
3278
现在，可能这些听上去不是很多
10:42
How will that achieve anything?
226
630252
1496
那它是如何把一切都实现的呢
10:44
Well, it achieved a lot
because she wasn't alone.
because she wasn't alone.
227
632502
3115
取得大量的成效是因为她不是孤单作战

See, you might be thinking to yourself,

how can we possibly persuade world leaders

13:01
no one gives a funk about foreign aid."
272
769957

虽然他没有用“他妈的”这个词”
13:07
He went on.
274
775528
1161
他继续说
13:08
He said we need to look after
our own backyard first.
our own backyard first.
275
776713
2557
我们管好
自己的后院就行
自己的后院就行
13:11
This is, I believe,
276
779872
1163
这是 我认为的
13:13
outdated, even dangerous thinking.
277
781059
2467
不仅过时甚至是危险的想法
13:16
Or as my late grandfather would say,
278
784059
1873
我的祖父听到了一定会说
13:17
complete BS.
279
785956
1345
完全在扯淡
13:19
Parochialism offers this false dichotomy
280
787958
2989
正是狭隘主义提供了这种错误的二分法
13:22
because it pits the poor in one country
against the poor in another.
against the poor in another.
281
790971
3506
它令贫穷的国家去跟
另一个贫穷的国家竞争
另一个贫穷的国家竞争
13:26
It pretends we can isolate ourselves
and our nations from one another.
and our nations from one another.
282
794501
3849
它假设我们可以将自己和
国家孤立起来
国家孤立起来
13:30
The whole world is our backyard,
283
798699
2067
整个世界都是我们的后院
13:32
and we ignore it at our peril.
284
800790
1881
我们忽略它是危险的
13:34
See, look what happened
when we ignored Rwanda,
when we ignored Rwanda,
285
802695
2198
看看 当我们忽略卢旺达时
发生了什么
发生了什么
13:36
when we ignore Syria,
286
804917
1468
当我们忽略叙利亚
13:38
when we ignore climate change.
287
806409
1903
当我们忽略气候变化
13:40
Political leaders ought to give a "funk"
288
808336
2183
这些政治家应该予以注意
13:42
because the impact of climate change
and extreme poverty
and extreme poverty
289
810543
2663
因为极端贫穷和气候变化带来的
13:45
comes right to our shore.
290
813230
1356
已经影响到了我们国家
13:47
Now, global citizens --
they understand this.
they understand this.
291
815110
2610
世界公民非常清楚
13:49
We live in a time that favors
the global citizen,
the global citizen,
292
817744
3250
我们生活在一个欢迎世界公民的年代
13:53
in an age where every
single voice can be heard.
single voice can be heard.
293
821018
2912
在一个任何微小的声音都可以被听到的年代
13:55
See, do you remember
294
823954
1168
你还记得
13:57
when the Millennium Development Goals
were signed back in the year 2000?
were signed back in the year 2000?
295
825146
3466
当千年发展计划早在2000年就签署了吗
14:00
The most we could do in those days
was fire off a letter
was fire off a letter
296
828636
2905
那时候我们能做的就是发信件
14:03
and wait for the next election.
297
831565
1711
然后等待下一次选举
14:05
There was no social media.
298
833737
1674
那时没有社交网络
14:07
Today, billions of citizens
have more tools,
have more tools,
299
835998
3215
今天 亿万的公民们
有了更多的工具
有了更多的工具
14:11
more access to information,

1818
更多的方法去获得信息
14:13
more capacity to influence
than ever before.
than ever before.
301
841079
2451
比以前更加强大的影响力
14:16
Both the problems and the tools
to solve them are right before us.
to solve them are right before us.
302
844151
3742
而全球问题和解决它们的工具
同时摆在我们面前
同时摆在我们面前
14:20
The world has changed,
303
848377
2066
世界已经改变了
14:22
and those of us who look
beyond our borders
beyond our borders
304
850467
2397
那些看到国境之外的人
14:24
are on the right side of history.
305
852888
2040
是顺应历史发展的
14:28
So where are we?
306
856063
1246
我们到什么地步了呢？
14:29
So we run this amazing festival,
307
857898
2367
我们开展了这个非凡的盛会
14:32
we've scored some big policy wins,
308
860289
2315
我们拿到了一些政治上的胜利
14:34
and citizens are signing up
all over the world.

309
862628
2499
世界公民们不断地在世界各地涌现
14:37
But have we achieved our mission?
310
865817
2056
但我们完成我们的任务了吗
14:40
No.
311
868651
1158
没有
14:42
We have such a long way to go.
312
870285
1645
我们还有很长的路要走
14:44
But this is the opportunity that I see.
313
872946
2182
但这是我能看到的机遇
14:48
The concept of global citizenship,
314
876414
2127
世界公民这个概念
14:51
self-evident in its logic but until now
impractical in many ways,
impractical in many ways,
315
879716
5696
在逻辑上很清楚 但是
在很多方式上还是不切实际的
在很多方式上还是不切实际的
14:57
has coincided with this particular moment
in which we are privileged to live.
in which we are privileged to live.
316
885436
4130
也只有在这样的特殊的时刻
我们才能有幸延续
我们才能有幸延续
15:02
We, as global citizens,
317

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Hugh Evans - HumanitarianThrough the Global Citizen platform, humanitarian Hugh Evans has created an online community of millions of people -- all driven to eradicate extreme poverty by the year 2030.
Why you should listen
At 14, Hugh Evans spent the night in a Manila slum. The harsh realities of his hosts’ lives motivated Evans to challenge the status quo of extreme poverty. Following a trip to South Africa in 2002 as World Vision's inaugural Youth Ambassador, Evans worked on the Make Poverty History campaign and helped stage the Make Poverty History Concert, fronted by Pearl Jam and Bono.
In 2012, under the mantle of the Global Poverty Project (launched 2008), Evans co-founded Global Citizen, and with it, the Global Citizen Festival -- a free, ticketed event requiring fans to perform anti-poverty actions in exchange for entry, recruiting millions into the war against global poverty. In 2015 alone, Global Citizens took 2.3 million actions, helping to secure commitments from governments around the world that are set to affect more than 210 million lives.
