00:13
Can I say how delighted I am to be away
0
1000
4000
能暂时逃离英国国会与政府大楼的平淡无奇
00:17
from the calm of Westminster and Whitehall? (Laughter)
1
5000
3000
我的喜悦之情真的是难以言表。
00:22
This is Kim, a nine-year-old Vietnam girl,
2
10000
4000
这是金菊，一名九岁的越南女孩。
00:26
her back ruined by napalm,
3
14000
5000
她那被汽油弹烧毁的后背
00:31
and she awakened the conscience of the nation of America
4
19000
4000
唤醒了美国人民的良知，
00:35
to begin to end the Vietnam War.
5
23000
3000
越战也因此而迈向终结。
00:38
This is Birhan, who was the Ethiopian girl
6
26000
5000
这是比尔汗，在80年代发起了
00:43
who launched Live Aid in the 1980s,
7
31000
4000
“Live Aid”的埃塞俄比亚女童。
00:47
15 minutes away from death when she was rescued,
8
35000
3000
在她获救的时候，死亡距离她只有15分钟，
00:50
and that picture of her being rescued is one that went round the world.
9
38000
4000
而她得救的照片也因此被传遍全球。
00:55
This is Tiananmen Square.
10
43000
3000
这是天安门广场。
00:58
A man before a tank became a picture
11
46000
4000
坦克前的男人成了一幅照片，
01:02
that became a symbol for the whole world of resistance.
12
50000
4000
一个全世界反抗的象征。
01:06
This next is the Sudanese girl,
13
54000
4000
接下来的这位是个苏丹女童，
01:10
a few moments from death,
14
58000
3000
死神与她近在咫尺，
01:13
a vulture hovering in the background,
15
61000
3000
秃鹫在不远处徘徊。
01:16
a picture that went round the world
16
64000
3000
一张传遍世界的照片
01:19
and shocked people into action on poverty.
17
67000
3000
震惊了人类，共同加入抗击贫困的实际行动中。
01:23
This is Neda, the Iranian girl
18
71000
3000
这是妮达，几个星期前
01:26
who was shot while at a demonstration with her father in Iran
19
74000
4000
在与她父亲示威时，不幸被射杀的伊朗女孩。
01:30
only a few weeks ago, and she is now the focus, rightly so,
20
78000
5000
而她成为当下YouTube一代的焦点人物
01:35
of the YouTube generation.
21
83000
3000
也是不无理由。
01:38
And what do all these pictures and events have in common?
22
86000
5000
这些照片与事件的共同之处在哪里呢？
01:43
What they have in common is what we see unlocks
23
91000
3000
它们的共同之处就在于我们所看到
01:46
what we cannot see.
24
94000
3000
开启了我们所看不到的。
01:49
What we see unlocks the invisible ties
25
97000
5000
我们所看到的开启了人与人之间无形的纽带，
01:54
and bonds of sympathy that bring us together
26
102000
3000
我们的怜悯之心将我们聚集到一起，
01:57
to become a human community.
27
105000
4000
组成一个人类大家庭。
02:02
What these pictures demonstrate is that
28
110000
3000
这些照片证实了
02:05
we do feel the pain of others,
29
113000
2000
无论距离的远近
02:07
however distantly.
30
115000
2000
我们都可以感受到他人的痛楚。
02:09
What I think these pictures demonstrate
31
117000
3000
这些照片证实了
02:12
is that we do believe in something bigger than ourselves.
32
120000
4000
我们确实坚信比我们自身价值更崇高的事业。
02:16
What these pictures demonstrate is
33
124000
3000
这些照片证实了
02:19
that there is a moral sense across all religions, across all faiths,
34
127000
5000
我们拥有着一个跨越宗教，跨越信仰，
02:24
across all continents -- a moral sense that
35
132000
4000
跨越洲际的道德观——
02:28
not only do we share the pain of others,
36
136000
2000
不仅仅让我们感受他人的痛楚
02:30
and believe in something bigger than ourselves
37
138000
2000
追求崇高的事业，
02:32
but we have a duty to act when we see things
38
140000
2000
更让我们意识到我们有义务行动起来，
02:34
that are wrong that need righted,
39
142000
2000
去纠正过错、
02:36
see injuries that need to be corrected,
40
144000
2000
化解伤痛、
02:38
see problems that need to be rectified.
41
146000
3000
解决问题。
02:42
There is a story about Olof Palme, the Swedish Prime Minister,
42
150000
4000
话说80年代的时候，瑞典前首相奥洛夫·帕尔梅
02:46
going to see Ronald Reagan in America in the 1980s.
43
154000
3000
曾想去美国拜访罗纳德·里根。
02:49
Before he arrived Ronald Reagan said --
44
157000
2000
虽然说他当时是瑞典的社会民主党首相，
02:51
and he was the Swedish Social Democratic Prime Minister --
45
159000
2000
不过在他到访之前，里根还是问道：
02:53
"Isn’t this man a communist?"
46
161000
2000
“这个人是共产主义者吗？”
02:56
The reply was, "No, Mr President, he’s an anti-communist."
47
164000
4000
旁边的人回答道：“不，总统先生，他是一名反共产主义者。”
03:00
And Ronald Reagan said, "I don’t care what kind of communist he is!"
48
168000
3000
结果里根说道：“我不管他是哪种共产主义者！”
03:03
(Laughter)
49
171000
2000
（笑声）
03:05
Ronald Reagan asked Olof Palme,
50
173000
3000
里根曾经问过帕尔梅，
03:08
the Social Democratic Prime Minister of Sweden,
51
176000
3000
当时瑞典的社会民主党首相
03:11
"Well, what do you believe in? Do you want to abolish the rich?"
52
179000
4000
“你的信条是什么？你打算铲除富人吗？”
03:15
He said, "No, I want to abolish the poor."
53
183000
3000
帕尔梅回答道：“不，我想铲除穷人。”
03:18
Our responsibility is to let everyone have the chance
54
186000
3000
我们的职责是让每个人
03:21
to realize their potential to the full.
55
189000
3000
都有实现自身潜能的机会。
03:25
I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic
56
193000
4000
我坚信有一种世界共通的道德伦理观，
03:29
that commands attention from people of every religion
57
197000
3000
值得引起人类的高度重视，
03:32
and every faith, and people of no faith.
58
200000
3000
不管是何种宗教，不管是有无信仰。
03:36
But I think what's new is that we now have the capacity
59
204000
4000
但我觉得与以往不同的是
03:40
to communicate instantaneously across frontiers
60
208000
2000
我们现在拥有了跨越边界
03:42
right across the world.
61
210000
3000
与世界交流的能力。
03:45
We now have the capacity to find common ground
62
213000
2000
我们现在拥有了
03:47
with people who we will never meet,
63
215000
2000
通过互联网和各种现代通信手段
03:49
but who we will meet through the Internet and through
64
217000
5000
来结识无法在现实生活中见面的
03:54
all the modern means of communication;
65
222000
2000
志同道合的人士。
03:56
that we now have the capacity to organize
66
224000
2000
我们现在拥有了
03:58
and take collective action together
67
226000
3000
集体组织、联合行动
04:01
to deal with the problem or an injustice
68
229000
3000
共同解决问题、
04:04
that we want to deal with;
69
232000
2000
处理不公正行为的能力。
04:06
and I believe that this makes this a unique age in human history,
70
234000
3000
正因为如此，我坚信我们正处在一个
04:09
and it is the start of what I would call
71
237000
3000
独特的历史时刻，
04:12
the creation of a truly global society.
72
240000
4000
开创着一个真正全球化的社会。
04:16
Go back 200 years when the slave trade was
73
244000
3000
200年前，贩奴贸易面临着
04:19
under pressure from William Wilberforce and all the protesters.
74
247000
4000
来自威廉·威伯福斯和反对者的压力。
04:24
They protested across Britain.
75
252000
2000
各种反抗运动席卷英国。
04:26
They won public opinion over a long period of time.
76
254000
3000
在很长的一段时间里，这些反对者都拥有着民众的支持，
04:29
But it took 24 years for the campaign to be successful.
77
257000
4000
但整场运动却是花费了24年的时间才取得最终的胜利。
04:33
What could they have done with the pictures that they could have shown
78
261000
3000
设想一下，如果当初他们拥有现代的通讯技术
04:36
if they were able to use the modern means of communication
79
264000
4000
来传播照片、赢取民心，
04:40
to win people’s hearts and minds?
80
268000
2000
他们又将取得怎样的成就呢？
04:42
Or if you take Eglantyne Jebb,
81
270000
2000
再来看看埃格兰泰恩·杰布女士，
04:44
the woman who created Save the Children 90 years ago.
82
272000
3000
90年前她创建了救助儿童会。
04:47
She was so appalled by what was happening in Austria
83
275000
4000
一战后的奥地利
04:51
as a result of the First World War and what was happening to children
84
279000
4000
和战败家庭中儿童的悲惨经历
04:55
who were part of the defeated families of Austria,
85
283000
4000
深深地惊骇了她，
04:59
that in Britain she wanted to take action,
86
287000
2000
让她决定在英国行动起来。
05:01
but she had to go house to house,
87
289000
2000
但她不得不挨家挨户散发传单，
05:03
leaflet to leaflet, to get people to attend a rally
88
291000
3000
促使群众参加
05:06
in the Royal Albert Hall
89
294000
3000
在皇家艾伯特大厅举行的集会，
05:09
that eventually gave birth to Save the Children,
90
297000
3000
救助儿童会也因此而诞生，
05:12
an international organization that is now fully recognized
91
300000
3000
并成为我们国家，乃至整个世界
05:15
as one of the great institutions in our land and in the world.
92
303000
4000
最伟大的国际组织之一。
05:19
But what more could she have done
93
307000
2000
但设想一下，
05:21
if she’d had the modern means of communications available to her
94
309000
3000
如果她当初拥有现代的通讯技术，
05:24
to create a sense that the injustice that people saw
95
312000
3000
让人们意识到他们所目睹的不公行径急需解决的话，
05:27
had to be acted upon immediately?
96
315000
2000
她所能做的恐怕不仅仅是这些吧？
05:29
Now look at what’s happened in the last 10 years.
97
317000
3000
让我们再来看看过去十年所发生的事情。
05:32
In Philippines in 2001, President Estrada --
98
320000
3000
2001年的菲律宾，总统埃斯特拉达——
05:35
a million people texted each other about the corruption of that regime,
99
323000
5000
当时的百万民众互传简讯，告发当下政体的腐败罪行，
05:40
eventually brought it down and it was, of course, called the "coup de text." (Laughter)
100
328000
5000
促使其引咎辞职，引发了所谓的“短信政变”。
05:46
Then you have in Zimbabwe the first election under Robert Mugabe a year ago.
101
334000
5000
还有一年前的津巴布韦，在总统罗伯特·穆加贝统治下的首次大选。
05:51
Because people were able to take mobile phone photographs
102
339000
3000
正是因为人们可以利用手机拍照，
05:54
of what was happening at the polling stations, it was impossible
103
342000
3000
来记录在投票站所发生的一切，
05:57
for that Premier to fix that election in the way that he wanted to do.
104
345000
4000
才使得穆加贝无法按计划地对选举结果进行暗箱操作。
06:01
Or take Burma and the monks that were blogging out,
105
349000
4000
还有缅甸和那些通过博客与外界交流的僧侣们。
06:05
a country that nobody knew anything about that was happening, until these blogs
106
353000
4000
人们之前对这个国家一无所知，
06:09
told the world that there was a repression,
107
357000
2000
直到这些博客揭露了发生在那里的镇压，
06:11
meaning that lives were being lost
108
359000
2000
遇难的生命，
06:13
and people were being persecuted and Aung San Suu Kyi,
109
361000
3000
遭迫害的群众，
06:16
who is one of the great prisoners of conscience of the world,
110
364000
4000
才使得昂山素季，全世界最伟大的政治囚犯之一，
06:20
had to be listened to.
111
368000
2000
终于有了倾诉的权利。
06:22
Then take Iran itself, and what people are doing today:
112
370000
4000
再来看看伊朗，
06:26
following what happened to Neda,
113
374000
3000
还有人们在妮达遇难后所做的一切。
06:29
people who are preventing the security services of Iran finding those people
114
377000
6000
国家安全保卫部门的人士发现
06:35
who are blogging out of Iran, any by everybody who is blogging,
115
383000
3000
那些通过博客与外界交流的伊朗人
06:38
changing their address to Tehran, Iran,
116
386000
3000
把他们的地址通通改成了伊朗德黑兰，
06:41
and making it difficult for the security services.
117
389000
2000
让安全部的官员难以追查。
06:43
Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of:
118
391000
4000
这些都体现了现代科技的本领所在——
06:47
the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications
119
395000
7000
我们的道德力量与通讯技能相结合，
06:54
and our ability to organize internationally.
120
402000
3000
再加上在国际范围内组织活动的能力。
06:57
That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community
121
405000
4000
这一切，在我看来，给了我们第一次以一个共同体的身份
07:01
to fundamentally change the world.
122
409000
4000
从根本上改变我们这个世界的机会。
07:05
Foreign policy can never be the same again. It cannot be run by elites;
123
413000
3000
外交政策将彻底改变，无法由掌权人士一手管控，
07:08
it’s got to be run by listening to the public opinions of peoples who are blogging,
124
416000
5000
而应是遵循那些博客们，
07:13
who are communicating with each other around the world.
125
421000
3000
那些在世界范围内与彼此交流的人所代表的民意。
07:16
200 years ago the problem we had to solve was slavery.
126
424000
3000
200年前，我们需要解决的问题是奴隶制度。
07:20
150 years ago I suppose the main problem in a country like ours
127
428000
4000
150年前，我猜想像我们这样的国家所面临的主要问题
07:24
was how young people, children, had the right to education.
128
432000
3000
是年轻人、孩子们的受教育权利。
07:27
100 years ago in most countries in Europe, the pressure was for the right to vote.
129
435000
5000
100年前在欧洲的大多数国家，投票选举权面临着巨大压力。
07:32
50 years ago the pressure was for the right to social security and welfare.
130
440000
5000
50年前这股压力则是转向了社会保障福利权。
07:37
In the last 50-60 years we have seen fascism, anti-Semitism, racism, apartheid,
131
445000
6000
在过往的五六十年里，我们目睹了法西斯主义、反犹太主义、种族歧视、种族隔离
07:43
discrimination on the basis of sex and gender and sexuality;
132
451000
5000
以及种种对性别和性取向的歧视。
07:48
all these have come under pressure
133
456000
2000
这一切都面临着强大的社会压力，
07:50
because of the campaigns that have been run by people to change the world.
134
458000
4000
正是由于人们所发起的各种运动，以求改变世界。
07:54
I was with Nelson Mandela a year ago, when he was in London.
135
462000
4000
一年前我在伦敦会见了纳尔逊·曼德拉，
07:58
I was at a concert that he was attending to mark his birthday
136
466000
5000
我们当时正出席一个庆祝曼德拉生日
08:03
and for the creation of new resources for his foundation.
137
471000
5000
和他的基金会求得新资源的演唱会。
08:08
I was sitting next to Nelson Mandela -- I was very privileged to do so --
138
476000
4000
我当时就坐在曼德拉的身边——我对此感到非常荣幸。
08:12
when Amy Winehouse came onto the stage. (Laughter)
139
480000
3000
当看到艾米·怀恩豪斯登上舞台的时候，
08:15
And Nelson Mandela was quite surprised at the appearance of the singer
140
483000
4000
曼德拉显得有点吃惊，
08:19
and I was explaining to him at the time who she was.
141
487000
4000
我只好向他解释艾米·怀恩豪斯是何许人物。
08:24
Amy Winehouse said, "Nelson Mandela and I have a lot in common.
142
492000
6000
艾米·怀恩豪斯在舞台上说道：“曼德拉和我有很多共同之处。
08:30
My husband too has spent a long time in prison."
143
498000
5000
我老公也曾在监狱里蹲了很长一段时间。”
08:35
(Laughter)
144
503000
3000
（笑声）
08:38
Nelson Mandela then went down to the stage
145
506000
4000
随后曼德拉走向舞台，
08:42
and he summarized the challenge for us all.
146
510000
3000
概述了我们所面临的挑战。
08:45
He said in his lifetime he had climbed a great mountain, the mountain
147
513000
4000
他说，在他的有生之年里，他攀越了一座无比陡峻的高山，
08:49
of challenging and then defeating racial oppression and defeating apartheid.
148
517000
4000
一座迎战并且击败种族压迫、隔离的大山。
08:53
He said that there was a greater challenge ahead,
149
521000
3000
他认为前方还有着更艰巨的挑战等待着我们，
08:56
the challenge of poverty, of climate change -- global challenges
150
524000
4000
贫困的挑战，气候的挑战，种种全球性的挑战
09:00
that needed global solutions
151
528000
2000
急需着全球性的解决方案，
09:02
and needed the creation of a truly global society.
152
530000
4000
急需着一个真正的全球性的社会。
09:06
We are the first generation which is in a position to do this.
153
534000
4000
而我们这一代是有实力做到这一切的第一代。
09:10
Combine the power of a global ethic
154
538000
3000
将一个全球性的道德理念
09:13
with the power of our ability to communicate
155
541000
5000
与我们的传播能力相结合，
09:18
and organize globally, with the challenges that we now face,
156
546000
4000
再在国际的范围内组织起来，
09:22
most of which are global in their nature.
157
550000
3000
共同来面对这些全球性的挑战。
09:25
Climate change cannot be solved in one country,
158
553000
3000
气候变化无法由一个国家来解决，
09:28
but has got to be solved by the world working together.
159
556000
3000
而是需要全世界同心协力彼此合作。
09:31
A financial crisis, just as we have seen, could not be solved
160
559000
2000
金融危机，就如我们目睹的一样，
09:33
by America alone or Europe alone;
161
561000
2000
无法单单依靠美国或是欧洲来得以解决，
09:35
it needed the world to work together.
162
563000
2000
而是需要世界范围内的合作。
09:37
Take the problems of security and terrorism and, equally,
163
565000
3000
或者是来看看国家安全与恐怖主义的问题，
09:40
the problem of human rights and development:
164
568000
2000
抑或是同等重要的人权与发展的问题，
09:42
they cannot be solved by Africa alone;
165
570000
2000
这些问题都无法由非洲独立解决，
09:44
they cannot be solved by America or Europe alone.
166
572000
4000
也不能单独依靠美国或是欧洲。
09:48
We cannot solve these problems unless we work together.
167
576000
3000
除非我们合作起来，这些问题是没有办法解决的。
09:51
So the great project of our generation, it seems to me,
168
579000
3000
所以在我看来，我们这一代最重要的工程
09:54
is to build for the first time, out of a global ethic
169
582000
3000
就是有史以来第一次通过全球性的道德观、
09:57
and our global ability to communicate
170
585000
2000
全球性的沟通和组织能力，
09:59
and organize together, a truly global society,
171
587000
3000
来建立起一个全球性的社会，
10:02
built on that ethic but with institutions
172
590000
4000
以此道德规范为基础，但同时依赖于
10:06
that can serve that global society and make for a different future.
173
594000
4000
为全球性社会服务的种种机构，来开创一个不一样的未来。
10:10
We have now, and are the first generation with, the power to do this.
174
598000
5000
我们是有能力做到这一切的第一代。
10:15
Take climate change. Is it not absolutely scandalous
175
603000
2000
就拿气候变化来说吧，
10:17
that we have a situation
176
605000
2000
我们知道我们正面临着这样的一个局势，
10:19
where we know that there is a climate change problem,
177
607000
4000
我们知道我们存在着气候变化的问题，
10:23
where we know also that that will mean we have to give more resources
178
611000
3000
我们也知道我们若是真想创建一个全球性的“碳市场”，
10:26
to the poorest countries to deal with that,
179
614000
2000
我们就需要捐赠给贫穷国家更多的资源，
10:28
when we want to create a global carbon market,
180
616000
3000
帮助他们来处理这一问题，
10:31
but there is no global institution
181
619000
2000
但尽管如此，我们仍然没有一个
10:33
that people have been able to agree upon
182
621000
2000
人们可以信赖认可的全球机构来解决这个问题，
10:35
to deal with this problem?
183
623000
2000
这不是相当滑稽可耻的事情吗？
10:37
One of the things that has got to come out of Copenhagen in the next few months
184
625000
3000
几个月后将在哥本哈根举行的气候会议
10:40
is an agreement that there will be
185
628000
2000
所必须达成的协议之一
10:42
a global environmental institution
186
630000
2000
就是建立一个全球性的环境机构，
10:44
that is able to deal
187
632000
2000
并且有能力
10:46
with the problems of persuading the whole of the world
188
634000
3000
来敦促整个世界为了气候变化的进程
10:49
to move along a climate-change agenda.
189
637000
2000
而共同行动起来。
10:52
(Applause)
190
640000
5000
（掌声）
10:58
One of the reasons why an institution is not in itself enough
191
646000
5000
但仅仅建立这样的一个机构是不够的，
11:03
is that we have got to persuade people around the world
192
651000
2000
原因之一就在于我们还需要说服世界各地的人们
11:05
to change their behavior as well,
193
653000
2000
改变他们的日常行为，
11:07
so you need that global ethic of fairness and responsibility
194
655000
3000
这就需要公平、负责的全球道德观
11:10
across the generations.
195
658000
2000
得以代代相传。
11:12
Take the financial crisis.
196
660000
2000
再来看看当下的金融危机。
11:14
If people in poorer countries can be hit by a crisis that starts in New York
197
662000
6000
如果一个从纽约开始、从美国次代市场开始的危机
11:20
or starts in the sub-prime market of the United States of America.
198
668000
4000
可以影响到贫穷国家的人们的话，
11:24
If people can find that that sub-prime product
199
672000
2000
如果次代产品可以经过多次转手
11:26
has been transferred across nations
200
674000
2000
跨越国界，
11:28
many, many times until it ends up in banks in Iceland
201
676000
2000
最终流通到冰岛的银行
11:30
or the rest in Britain,
202
678000
2000
或是英国其他地区，
11:32
and people's ordinary savings are affected by it,
203
680000
3000
并且影响到普通民众的存款储蓄的话，
11:35
then you cannot rely on a system of national supervision.
204
683000
3000
那么一个国家性的监管机构就是不值得信赖的。
11:38
You need in the long run for stability, for economic growth,
205
686000
3000
长期的稳定、经济的增长、
11:41
for jobs, as well as for financial stability,
206
689000
3000
就业的保障以及金融的稳定
11:44
global economic institutions that make sure
207
692000
3000
都需要全球性的经济体制
11:47
that growth to be sustained has to be shared,
208
695000
2000
来确保稳定的发展得以共享，
11:49
and are built on the principle
209
697000
2000
并且是建立在“世界的繁荣是不可划分”
11:51
that the prosperity of this world is indivisible.
210
699000
3000
的原则之上。
11:54
So another challenge for our generation is to create global institutions
211
702000
3000
所以说，面临我们这一代的另一个挑战，就是建立起
11:57
that reflect our ideas of fairness and responsibility,
212
705000
4000
全球性的机构，来反映我们公正、负责的观念，
12:01
not the ideas that were the basis
213
709000
2000
而不是过往几年金融发展最后阶段
12:03
of the last stage of financial development over these recent years.
214
711000
5000
不牢靠的地基。
12:08
Then take development and take the partnership we need between our countries
215
716000
4000
再来看看发展，还有我们和世界其他地区，
12:12
and the rest of the world, the poorest part of the world.
216
720000
5000
尤其是那些贫困地区所需要建立的伙伴关系。
12:17
We do not have the basis of a proper partnership for the future,
217
725000
4000
我们暂时还没有一个可以在未来建立起一个合适的伙伴关系的基础，
12:21
and yet, out of people’s desire for a global ethic
218
729000
3000
但只要人们渴求一个全球性的道德观、
12:24
and a global society that can be done.
219
732000
3000
渴求一个全球性的社会，一切还是可以办到的。
12:27
I have just been talking to the President of Sierra Leone.
220
735000
3000
我刚刚在和塞拉利昂的总统交谈。
12:30
This is a country of six and a half million people,
221
738000
3000
那是一个拥有650万人口的国家，
12:33
but it has only 80 doctors; it has 200 nurses;
222
741000
4000
但却只有80个医生，200个护士，
12:37
it has 120 midwives.
223
745000
3000
120个助产士。
12:40
You cannot begin to build a healthcare system for six million people
224
748000
4000
如此短缺的资源是根本无法建立起一个
12:44
with such limited resources.
225
752000
3000
可以服务600万人民的医疗体系的。
12:47
Or take the girl I met when I was in Tanzania,
226
755000
2000
再来看看我在坦桑尼亚遇到的
12:49
a girl called Miriam.
227
757000
2000
一个叫米丽亚姆的女孩。
12:51
She was 11 years old; her parents had both died from AIDS,
228
759000
4000
她当时11岁，她的母亲和父亲
12:55
her mother and then her father.
229
763000
2000
一前一后都死于艾滋病。
12:57
She was an AIDS orphan being handed
230
765000
3000
她是一名艾滋孤儿，寄人篱下，
13:00
across different extended families to be cared for.
231
768000
3000
从一个亲戚家传到另一个亲戚家。
13:03
She herself was suffering from HIV;
232
771000
2000
她自己本身也是名艾滋病病毒感染者。
13:05
she was suffering from tuberculosis.
233
773000
2000
她同时还患有肺结核。
13:07
I met her in a field, she was ragged, she had no shoes.
234
775000
4000
我是在一个田地里遇到的她。她当是赤着脚，而且衣衫褴褛。
13:11
When you looked in her eyes, any girl at the age of eleven
235
779000
3000
一般的11岁女孩眼中都充满了对未来的向往，
13:14
is looking forward to the future,
236
782000
3000
但是当你注视她的双眼时，
13:17
but there was an unreachable sadness in that girl’s eyes
237
785000
4000
你看到的却是难以触摸到的悲伤。
13:21
and if I could have translated that to the rest of the world for that moment,
238
789000
5000
如果我能把当时的感受传递到世界其他的角落，
13:26
I believe that all the work that it had done for the global HIV/AIDS fund
239
794000
4000
我相信那股悲伤将会打动很多人
13:30
would be rewarded by people being prepared to make donations.
240
798000
3000
来为全球的艾滋基金捐款捐力。
13:33
We must then build a proper relationship between the richest and
241
801000
4000
因此，我们必须在富裕国家和贫困国家之间
13:37
the poorest countries
242
805000
2000
建立起一个恰达的关系，
13:39
based on our desire that they are able to fend for themselves
243
807000
3000
建立在我们的渴望之上，那就是，这些贫困国家
13:42
with the investment that is necessary in their agriculture,
244
810000
3000
可以充分利用他们农业上所需的投资来做到自给自足。
13:45
so that Africa is not a net importer of food, but an exporter of food.
245
813000
4000
这样一来，非洲将不在是一个食物进口者，而是一个食物出口者。
13:49
Take the problems of human rights and
246
817000
2000
再来看看人权问题
13:51
the problems of security in so many countries around the world.
247
819000
3000
还有世界众多国家所面临的安全问题。
13:54
Burma is in chains, Zimbabwe is a human tragedy,
248
822000
5000
缅甸正被锁链捆绑，津巴布韦是个人间悲剧，
13:59
in Sudan thousands of people have died unnecessarily
249
827000
3000
在苏丹，成千上万的人正在本可避免的战争中
14:02
for wars that we could prevent.
250
830000
3000
无辜地死去。
14:05
In the Rwanda Children's Museum,
251
833000
3000
在卢旺达的儿童博物馆里
14:08
there is a photograph of a 10-year-old boy
252
836000
4000
有一张一名十岁男童的照片。
14:12
and the Children's Museum is commemorating the lives that were lost
253
840000
6000
这个儿童博物馆现在正在纪念那些
14:18
in the Rwandan genocide where a million people died.
254
846000
4000
在卢旺达种族屠杀中所死去的上百万人的生命。
14:22
There is a photograph of a boy called David.
255
850000
3000
照片中的小男孩叫做大卫。
14:25
Beside that photograph there is the information about his life.
256
853000
4000
而照片旁边则是大卫的生平简介。
14:29
It said "David, age 10."
257
857000
3000
上面写到：“大卫，十岁。
14:32
David: ambition to be a doctor.
258
860000
3000
梦想：成为一名医生。
14:35
Favorite sport: football. What did he enjoy most?
259
863000
4000
最爱的运动：足球。
14:39
Making people laugh.
260
867000
3000
最喜欢做的事：引人发笑。
14:42
How did he die?
261
870000
3000
死亡原因：
14:45
Tortured to death.
262
873000
2000
折磨致死。
14:47
Last words said to his mother who was also tortured to death:
263
875000
5000
对他同样被折磨致死的母亲所说的最后一句话：
14:52
"Don't worry. The United Nations are coming."
264
880000
4000
别担心，联合国的人就要来了。”
14:56
And we never did.
265
884000
3000
可是我们没有。
14:59
And that young boy believed our promises
266
887000
2000
那个小男孩坚信我们的承诺，
15:01
that we would help people in difficulty in Rwanda,
267
889000
3000
相信我们会帮助那些在卢旺达的受难人民，
15:04
and we never did.
268
892000
2000
但我们却没有。
15:06
So we have got to create in this world also
269
894000
2000
因此我们必须在这个世界建立起
15:08
institutions for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid,
270
896000
2000
用以维和以及人道救援的机构，
15:11
but also for reconstruction and security
271
899000
3000
还有帮助那些危难中的国家
15:14
for some of the conflict-ridden states of the world.
272
902000
3000
重建和安全的机构。
15:17
So my argument today is basically this.
273
905000
3000
所以我今天所要讲的基本上可以总结为如下的几点。
15:20
We have the means by which we could create a truly global society.
274
908000
3000
我们有能力、有办法来创造一个真正的全球化的社会。
15:23
The institutions of this global society can be created by our endeavors.
275
911000
6000
而这个全球化社会的种种机构则需要我们的努力来建立。
15:29
That global ethic can infuse the fairness and responsibility that is necessary
276
917000
4000
全球性的道德观可以为这些机构注入公正、负责的理念，
15:33
for these institutions to work,
277
921000
3000
使其起到应有的作用，
15:36
but we should not lose the chance in this generation,
278
924000
3000
但同时我们也不应错失我们这一代的机会，
15:39
in this decade in particular, with President Obama in America,
279
927000
4000
尤其是当下的十年里，协同美国的奥巴马总统，
15:43
with other people working with us around the world,
280
931000
3000
还有来自全球与我们同心协力的人民，
15:46
to create global institutions for the environment,
281
934000
2000
来创建保卫环境、
15:48
and for finance,
282
936000
2000
金融、
15:50
and for security and for development,
283
938000
2000
安全与发展的全球机构。
15:52
that make sense of our responsibility to other peoples,
284
940000
3000
这些机构理应明白我们对他人的责任感，
15:55
our desire to bind the world together, and
285
943000
3000
我们想把这个世界联系起来的渴望感，
15:58
our need to tackle problems that everybody knows exist.
286
946000
4000
还有我们想要解决已知问题的需求感。
16:02
It is said that in Ancient Rome that when Cicero spoke to his audiences,
287
950000
5000
据说在古罗马，当西塞罗演讲的时候，
16:07
people used to turn to each other and say about Cicero, "Great speech."
288
955000
6000
人们会转向彼此，谈论西塞罗，“讲得真好。”
16:13
But it is said that in Ancient Greece
289
961000
2000
但是在古希腊，
16:15
when Demosthenes spoke to his audiences,
290
963000
3000
当狄摩西尼演讲的时候，
16:18
people turned to each other and didn’t say "Great speech."
291
966000
3000
人们也会转向彼此，但他们不会说：“讲得真好。”
16:21
They said, "Let's march."
292
969000
2000
他们会说，“让我们行动起来吧。”
16:23
We should be marching towards a global society.
293
971000
3000
我们应该为了全球化社会的目标而行动起来。
16:26
Thank you.
294
974000
1000
谢谢大家。
16:27
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gordon Brown - British Prime MinisterBritain's former prime minister Gordon Brown played a key role in shaping the G20 nations' response to the world's financial crisis, and was a powerful advocate for a coordinated global response to problems such as climate change, poverty and social justice.
Why you should listen
During his long term of office, former UK prime minister Gordon Brown became one of the world's most experienced political leaders, with a deep understanding of the global economy based on 10 years' experience as Great Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer. He has been a key architect of the G8's agreements on poverty and climate change, and has provided a passionate voice to encourage the developed world to aid struggling African countries. He is an advocate of global solutions for global problems -- through both the reinvention of international institution and the advancement of a global ethics.
While prime minister, Brown promoted technology as a tool for economic (and environmental) recovery. With his charge to "count the carbon and the pennies," research on electric cars and residential energy efficiency are slated to become a major part of the UK's recovery plan. He pushed for universal broadband and a general increase in spending on science. And he sought to use new communication tools like Twitter and YouTube as a means to communicate government policy.
