103
301091

我突然意识到若不离开我的三个孩子会有生命危险。
05:16

1389
所以我们离开了。
05:17
We left because we had to,
not because we wanted to.

毕竟她是一位美南浸信会信徒。
06:50
I sat on the couch next to her
139
398996
1460
我俩坐在长椅上，
06:52
and I said, "Miss Sarah,
you know that I'm gay."
you know that I'm gay."
140
400480
2531
我说：“萨拉女士，您知道吗，我是同性恋。”
06:55
Her response is one
that I will never forget.
that I will never forget.
141
403035
2186
她的回答令我终身难忘。
06:57
"That's fine, honey.
Just don't be a slut."
Just don't be a slut."
142
405715
2199
“亲爱的，这没什么。别做一个荡妇就好。”
06:59
(Laughter)

（笑声）

07:05
I eventually moved to Atlanta,
still trying to find my home.

145
413833
5912
最终我搬到了亚特兰大，仍旧找寻着我真正的家。
07:12
My journey took a strange turn
three years later,
three years later,
146
420261
2379
三年后，当我遇到一群在外踢球的难民儿童时，
07:14
after I met a group of refugee kids
playing soccer outside.
playing soccer outside.
147
422664
3233
我的这趟旅程有了奇特的转折。
07:18
I'd made a wrong turn
into this apartment complex,
into this apartment complex,
148
426318
2540
我误入了一间大楼，
07:20
and I saw these kids
outside playing soccer.
outside playing soccer.
149
428882
2215
看见了一群在外踢球的孩子。
07:23
They were playing barefoot
with a raggedy soccer ball
with a raggedy soccer ball
150
431496
2563
他们光着脚踢着一个破烂不堪的足球
07:26
and rocks set up as goals.
151
434083
1452
并用碎石头计分。
07:27
I watched them for about an hour,
152
435559
1700
我注视着了一小时，
07:29
and after that I was smiling.
153
437283
1578
之后脸上洋溢着笑容。
07:31
The boys reminded me of home.
154
439296
1587
这群男孩让我想起了家。
07:33
They reminded me of the way
I grew up playing soccer
I grew up playing soccer
155
441368
2478
想起了小时候我在约旦街头
07:35
in the streets of Jordan,
with my brothers and cousins.
with my brothers and cousins.
156
443870
2630
和兄弟姐妹们我踢球的模样。
07:39
I eventually joined their game.
157
447792
2001
最后我也加入了他们的游戏。
07:41
They were a little skeptical
about letting me join it,
about letting me join it,
158
449817
2843
他们对我的加入感到怀疑，
07:44
because according to them,
girls don't know how to play.
girls don't know how to play.
159
452684
2662
因为在他们印象中女孩不会踢球。
07:47
But obviously I did.
160
455370
1346
但显然我踢得不错。
07:48
I asked them if they had
ever played on a team.
ever played on a team.
161
456740
2244
我问他们他们是否已经组队了。
07:51
They said they hadn't,
but that they would love to.
but that they would love to.
162
459008
2434
他们说并没有，但还是乐意的。
07:53
I gradually won them over,
and we formed our first team.
and we formed our first team.
163
461931
3021
我逐渐赶超了比分，最后我们首次组成了一支队伍。
07:57
This group of kids would give me
a crash course in refugees, poverty
a crash course in refugees, poverty
164
465851
4884
这群孩子很快让我
08:03
and humanity.
165
471997
1232
对难民、贫穷、人道有了更多了解。
08:06
Three brothers from Afghanistan --
Roohullah, Noorullah and Zabiullah --
Roohullah, Noorullah and Zabiullah --
166
474375
3555
来自阿富汗的三兄弟，Roohullah、 Noorullah和 Zabiullah
08:09
played a major role in that.
167
477954
1624
在这个中间发挥重要作用。
08:12
I showed up late to practice one day
to find the field completely deserted.
to find the field completely deserted.
168
480380
3568
但有一天当我迟些到达球场时发现没有一个人。
08:15
I was really worried.
169
483972
1181
我感到十分担忧。
08:17
My team loved to practice.
170
485177
1611
我的队员们热爱训练，
08:18
It wasn't like them to miss practice.
171
486812
2607
他们不像是会错过练习。
08:21
I got out of my car, and two kids
ran out from behind a dumpster,
ran out from behind a dumpster,
172
489443
3088
我下了车，看到两个从垃圾桶后跑出来的孩子
08:24
waving their hands frantically.
173
492555
1583
疯狂地挥舞着双手。
08:27
"Coach, Rooh got beat up. He got jumped.
174
495095
2047
“教练，Rooh被人欺负啦。
08:29
There was blood everywhere."
175
497166
1578
那里到处都是血。”
08:30
"What do you mean?
What do you mean he got beat up?"
What do you mean he got beat up?"
176
498768
2455
“你说什么？他被打了？”
08:33
"These bad kids came
and beat him up, Coach.
and beat him up, Coach.
177
501247
2073
“那些坏蛋跑过来打了他，教练。
08:35
Everybody left. They were all scared."
178
503344
2226
大家都吓坏所以跑开了。”
08:37
We hopped into my car
and drove over to Rooh's apartment.
and drove over to Rooh's apartment.
179
505594
2718
我们上了车直奔Rooh的家里。
08:40
I knocked on the door, and Noor opened it.
180
508336
2499
我敲了敲门，Noor打开了门。
08:43
"Where's Rooh? I need
to talk to him, see if he's OK."
to talk to him, see if he's OK."
181
511589
2752
“Rooh在吗?我要和他谈谈，他还好吗？”
08:46
"He's in his room, Coach.
He's refusing to come out."
He's refusing to come out."
182
514365
2936
“他就在房间里，教练。他不肯出来。”
08:49
I knocked on the door.
183
517325
1167
我又敲了敲门。
08:50
"Rooh, come on out. I need to talk to you.
184
518516
2426
“Rooh，出来！我们需要谈谈。
08:52
I need to see if you're OK
or if we need to go to the hospital."
or if we need to go to the hospital."
185
520966
3051
你还好吗？要不要去医院？”
08:56
He came out.
186
524041
1151
他出来了。
08:57
He had a big gash on his head,
a split lip,
a split lip,
187
525216
2262
他的脸上有道很深的伤口，嘴唇也裂了，
09:00
and he was physically shaken.
188
528019
1751
并且浑身发抖。
09:02
I was looking at him,
189
530514
1333
我看着他，
09:03
and I asked the boys
to call for their mom,
to call for their mom,
190
531871
2559
让他的两个兄弟打电话给他们的妈妈，
09:06
because I needed to go
to the hospital with him.
to the hospital with him.
191
534454
2412
因为我要陪他去医院。
09:08
They called for their mom.
192
536890
1307
他们打了电话给妈妈，
09:10
She came out.
193
538608
1192
后来妈妈到了。
09:12
I had my back turned to her,
and she started screaming in Farsi.
and she started screaming in Farsi.
194
540239
3579
当她用波斯语尖叫时，我正背对着她。
09:16
The boys fell to the ground laughing.
195
544577
2075
她的孩子们笑得地上打滚。
09:18
I was very confused,
196
546676
1152
我感到费解，
09:19
because there was nothing
funny about this.
funny about this.
197
547852
2074
因为并没有什么值得好笑的。
09:22
They explained to me that she said,
198
550390
2000
孩子们向我解释道她说，
09:24
"You told me your coach
was a Muslim and a woman."
was a Muslim and a woman."
199
552414
2814
“你们不是说你们的教练是穆斯林而且是女性？”
09:27
From behind, I didn't appear
to be either to her.
to be either to her.
200
555252
2369
因为从背影看起来我都不像。
09:29
(Laughter)
201
557645
3633
（笑声）
09:33
"I am Muslim," I said, turning to her.
202
561302
2236
“我是穆斯林，”我转过身对她说，
09:35
"Ašhadu ʾan lā ʾilāha ʾilla (A)llāh,"
203
563562
1931
"Ašhadu ʾan lā ʾilāha ʾilla (A)llāh,"
09:37
reciting the Muslim declaration of faith.
204
565517
2369
这是穆斯林的信仰宣言。
09:40
Confused,
205
568587
1304
她起初有些疑惑，
09:43
and perhaps maybe a little bit reassured,
206
571208
1990
可能慢慢地消除了疑虑，
09:45
she realized that yes,
207
573222
1155
最终相信了，
09:46
I, this American-acting,
shorts-wearing, non-veiled woman,
shorts-wearing, non-veiled woman,
208
574401
3291
我这一个行为举止如美国人，短发且不戴头巾的女性，
09:49
was indeed a Muslim.
209
577716
1190
的确是穆斯林。
09:52
Their family had fled the Taliban.
210
580166
1950
这个家庭从塔利班逃脱。
09:55
Hundreds of people in their village
211
583687
1704
他们镇上数以百计的人
09:57
were murdered.
212
585415
1246
被塔利班残忍杀害了。
09:58
Their father was taken in by the Taliban,
213
586685
2213
他们的父亲被塔利班关押，
10:00
only to return a few months later,
a shell of the man he once was.
a shell of the man he once was.
214
588922
3801
几个月后，见到的只是冰冷的尸体了。
10:06
The family escaped to Pakistan,
215
594738
2411
这个家庭逃离到巴基斯坦，
10:09
and the two older boys,
age eight and 10 at the time,
age eight and 10 at the time,
216
597173
3568
那时年长的两个孩子还不过8到10岁，
10:12
wove rugs for 10 hours a day
to provide for their family.
to provide for their family.
217
600765
3237
为了家里生计每天编织10小时的地毯。
10:16
They were so excited when they found out
that they had been approved
that they had been approved
218
604926
3757
当他们得知已被批准安置到美国时，
10:20
to resettle in the United States,
219
608707
2492
他们欣喜万分，
10:23
making them the lucky 0.1 percent
who get to do that.
who get to do that.
220
611223
3253
因为他们是那幸运的0.1%。
10:26
They had hit the jackpot.
221
614500
1590
他们如同中大奖般幸运。
10:28
Their story is not unique.
222
616930
1570
也许他们的故事并不奇特。
10:31
Every refugee family I have worked with
has had some version of this.
has had some version of this.
223
619085
3908
我接触的每个难民家庭都有类似的遭遇。
10:35
I work with kids
224
623017
1340
我接触过一些孩子，
10:37
who have seen their mothers raped,
their fathers' fingers sliced off.
their fathers' fingers sliced off.
225
625206
3859
他们的母亲曾被凌辱或父亲被砍下了手指。
10:41
One kid saw a bullet
put in his grandmother's head,
put in his grandmother's head,
226
629089
2955
曾有一个孩子亲眼目睹祖母被射杀，
10:44
because she refused to let the rebels
take him to be a child soldier.
take him to be a child soldier.
227
632068
4038
仅因为她阻止孩子被抓去当童子军。
10:49
Their journeys are haunting.
228
637943
1541
也许他们一路的辛酸挥之不去，
10:51
But what I get to see every day
is hope, resilience, determination,
is hope, resilience, determination,
229
639940
5774
但我我每天所见的是希望，是适应，是决心，
10:57
a love of life
230
645738
1185
充满爱的生活
10:58
and appreciation for being able
to rebuild their lives.
to rebuild their lives.
231
646947
2844
和对能够重建家园的感激之情。
11:03
I was at the boys' apartment one night,
232
651607
2125
有天晚上我在孩子们的家里，
11:05
when the mom came home
after cleaning 18 hotel rooms in one day.
after cleaning 18 hotel rooms in one day.
233
653756
4810
他们的母亲一天打扫了18间宾馆房间，疲惫的回来了。
11:10
She sat down, and Noor rubbed her feet,
234
658590
2293
她坐下来，然后Noor给她做脚部按摩，
11:13
saying that he was going to take care
of her once he graduated.
of her once he graduated.
235
661679
3075
并说一旦他毕业了就会开始照顾妈妈。
11:16
She smiled from exhaustion.
236
664778
1494
她疲惫的面容里难掩笑意。
11:18
"God is good. Life is good.
We are lucky to be here."
We are lucky to be here."
237
666296
3408
“感谢上苍，感谢生活，让我们足够幸运呆在这里。”
11:23
In the last two years, we have seen
an escalating anti-refugee sentiment.
an escalating anti-refugee sentiment.
238
671001
4795
在过去的两年，我们发现排斥难民的情绪逐渐升级。
11:28
It's global.
239
676219
1219
并且是全球性的。
11:30
The numbers continue to grow
because we do nothing to prevent it
because we do nothing to prevent it
240
678579
3244
难民数持续上升都是由于
11:33
and nothing to stop it.
241
681847
1701
我们的不作为。
11:35
The issue shouldn't be stopping refugees
from coming into our countries.
from coming into our countries.
242
683572
3552
问题不应该在于阻止难民涌入我们的国家，
11:39
The issue should be
not forcing them to leave their own.
not forcing them to leave their own.
243
687148
2988
而是应避免他们被迫逃离家园。
11:42
(Applause)
244
690160
4435
（掌声）
11:58
Sorry.
245
706510
1325
抱歉。
11:59
(Applause)
246
707859
3928
（掌声）
12:09
How much more suffering,
247
717917
2525
我们要遭受多少苦难，
12:12
how much more suffering must we take?
248
720466
2045
我们要遭受多少苦难？
12:15
How many more people need to be
forced out of their homes
forced out of their homes
249
723255
2771
多少人需要背井离乡
12:18
before we say, "Enough!"?
250
726050
1381
直到有人说“够了！”？
12:19
A hundred million?
251
727455
1209
一亿?
12:21
Not only do we shame,
blame and reject them
blame and reject them
252
729125
2826
我们不仅对未参与过的暴行的他们
12:25
for atrocities that they had
absolutely nothing to do with,
absolutely nothing to do with,
253
733245
2833
感到羞愧、责难、排斥，
12:29
we re-traumatize them,
254
737012
1155
我们还让他们受到二次伤害，
12:30
when we're supposed to be welcoming
them into our countries.
them into our countries.
255
738191
2965
我们本应欢迎他们来到我们的国家啊。
12:35
We strip them of their dignity
and treat them like criminals.
and treat them like criminals.
256
743291
3303
我们剥夺了他们的尊严并
像对待罪犯一样对待他们。
像对待罪犯一样对待他们。
12:38
I had a student in my office
a couple of weeks ago.
a couple of weeks ago.
257
746618
2706
几周前，一个学生来我办公室。
12:41
She's originally from Iraq.
258
749348
1816
她来自伊拉克。
12:43
She broke down crying.
259
751188
1439
进入办公室后她嚎啕大哭。
12:45
"Why do they hate us?"
260
753595
1628
“他们为什么讨厌我们？”
12:47
"Who hates you?"
261
755247
1174
“谁讨厌你啦？”
12:48
"Everyone; everyone hates us
because we are refugees,
because we are refugees,
262
756445
2771
“所有人！所有人都讨厌我们，因为我们是难民，
12:51
because we are Muslim."
263
759240
1356
我们是穆斯林。”
12:54
In the past, I was able
to reassure my students
to reassure my students
264
762019
2336
曾经，我对我的学生们保证说
12:56
that the majority of the world
does not hate refugees.
does not hate refugees.
265
764379
2637
世界上大部分人并不讨厌排斥难民。
12:59
But this time I couldn't.
266
767040
1385
但这次，我无法安慰她。
13:00
I couldn't explain to her why someone
tried to rip off her mother's hijab
tried to rip off her mother's hijab
267
768868
3480
我无法解释当她的妈妈到杂货店购物时，
13:04
when they were grocery shopping,
268
772372
1785
为何有人要撤掉她的头巾；
13:06
or why a player on an opposing
team called her a terrorist
team called her a terrorist
269
774181
3244
当她和小伙伴玩游戏时，为何对方小孩称她为恐怖分子，
13:09
and told her to go back
where she came from.
where she came from.
270
777449
2483
或是让她打哪来回哪去。
13:11
I couldn't reassure her
271
779956
1762
我无法安慰她
13:13
that her father's ultimate life sacrifice
272
781742
2339
即使她的父亲一生
13:16
by serving in the United States
military as an interpreter
military as an interpreter
273
784105
3120
都在美国军队中担任翻译，
13:19
would make her more valued
as an American citizen.
as an American citizen.
274
787249
2710
这本更应使她成为美国公民。
13:23
We take in so few refugees worldwide.
275
791051
2872
我们仅接收了全世界如此少的难民。
13:26
We resettle less than 0.1 percent.
276
794949
2686
我们只安置了少于0.1%的难民。
13:30
That 0.1 percent benefits us
more than them.
more than them.
277

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Luma Mufleh - Refugee activistLuma Mufleh does something revolutionary: she coaches soccer. A Jordanian immigrant and Muslim of Syrian descent, Mufleh is determined to empower refugee children everywhere.
Why you should listen
Luma Mufleh is the CEO and Founding Director of Fugees Family, Inc., a nonprofit organization that uses the power of soccer, education and community to empower refugee children to successfully integrate into the United States. Now, she's part principal, part tutor, the head of the first accredited private school dedicated to refugee education in the country, which encompases a summer camp and a college prep program -- and she’s building a community and support network that could be the national model the United States needs.
The Fugees' story began in 2004, when Luma took a wrong turn while driving through the town of Clarkston, Georgia and noticed a group of boys playing soccer in the street. She learned that these children were refugees from war-town countries including Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Burma, Somalia and Sudan. That summer, Luma made fliers announcing tryouts for the Fugees soccer team. In the years that followed, the soccer team grew into something much larger -- a school, a tutoring program, a summer camp, a college prep program, and, most importantly, a community and support network.
A lifelong social entrepreneur, Luma has created several programs and initiatives that have gainfully employed, educated and empowered refugees and immigrants in her community and beyond, with the Fugees Academy serving as a national model for refugee education. While only 20 percent of refugee students graduate from high school in Georgia's DeKalb County, the Fugees Academy has a 90 percent graduation rate. These types of results helped earn Luma the 2016 Cournelle Award for Social Entrepreneurship from the Manhattan Institute.
A Jordanian immigrant and Muslim of Syrian descent, Luma received her U.S. citizenship in 2011. Her story -- and the story of the Fugees -- illustrates both the American dream and the very real challenges of integration and discrimination that so many face today. Luma received her B.A. in Anthropology from Smith College and recently completed the Executive Program in Social Entrepreneurship at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
