我想我們都看過。
00:23
If you're being honest,
3
11682
1165
老實說，你可曾
00:24
at least one time,
have you wondered if they mean it?

至少有一次好奇過，
他們是否是說真的？

00:28
If we offered them a job,
would they really take it?

如果我們提供他們工作，
他們真的會接受嗎？

這個故事，是發生在
我的城市中的狀況，
我的城市中的狀況，
00:38
when we decided to find out,
8
26068
1552
背景是，我們決定去查明，
00:40
when we decided to think differently
about panhandling,
about panhandling,
9
28712
3387
我們決定以不同的方式看待乞討，
00:44
and lift people up
through the dignity of work.
through the dignity of work.
10
32123
2897
並透過工作的尊嚴讓人們振作起來。
00:48
We call it, "There's a Better Way."
11
36134
1777
我們稱之為「有更好的方式」。
00:50
We call it There's a Better Way
12
38384
1493
我們之所以取這個名字，
00:51
because I believe there's a better way
to get the money you need
to get the money you need
13
39901
3038
是因為我相信，比起在街角乞討，
00:54
than panhandling on the corner.
14
42963
1667
還有更好的方式
可以得到你需要的錢。
可以得到你需要的錢。
00:57
I believe there's a better way
to help your brothers and sisters in need
to help your brothers and sisters in need
15
45260

我相信，比起從車窗遞出幾塊錢，
01:01
than handing a few dollars
out the car window.
out the car window.
16
49182
2333
還有更好的方式
可以協助有需要的同胞們。
可以協助有需要的同胞們。
01:04
We know there's dignity in work.
17
52474
1898
我們知道在工作中有尊嚴。
01:07
We also know that people are much more
likely to invest in themselves
likely to invest in themselves
18
55110
3396
我們也知道，人們比較
有可能會投資他們自己，
有可能會投資他們自己，
01:10
if they believe that their community
is willing to invest in them first.
is willing to invest in them first.
19
58530
3640
如果他們相信他們的社區
願意先投資他們。
願意先投資他們。
01:15
And because we're all wired
to be kind and compassionate,
to be kind and compassionate,
20
63484
3303
因為我們生來都很仁慈有同情心，
01:18
it always feels good to hand
a couple of dollars to someone
a couple of dollars to someone
21
66811
3505
給有需要的人幾塊錢，
01:22
that is in need.
22
70340
1201
總是感覺很好。
01:24
But if you talk to panhandlers,
many of them will tell you
many of them will tell you
23
72807
3427
但若你去和乞討者談，
他們當中許多人會告訴你
他們當中許多人會告訴你
01:28
that your few dollars don't necessarily
go towards feeding the body,
go towards feeding the body,
24
76258
5190
你的那幾塊錢不見得
會被用來買吃的，
會被用來買吃的，
01:33
they go towards feeding an addiction.
25
81472
2006
而會被用來滿足其他的癮。
01:36
There's a better way.
26
84484
1289
是有更好的方式的。
01:38
My name is Richard Berry,

01:54
and on my way back to city hall,
32
102173
2224
在我回市政大廳的路上，
01:56
I saw this gentleman standing on a corner.
33
104421
2191
我看到這個男子站在路口。
01:59
As you can see, he's holding a sign,
34
107076
1956
你們可以看見，他手上有個標語，
02:01
and his sign says he wants a job.
35
109056
1915
寫著他想要一份工作。
02:03
But if you look closer at the picture,
36
111673
1842
但如果你再近一點看這張圖，
02:05
you'll see he's standing
underneath a blue sign,
underneath a blue sign,
37
113539
2239
會發現他站在一個藍色標誌下，
02:07
and that sign says, if you need help,
if you need food or shelter
if you need food or shelter
38
115802
4112
那個標誌說，如果你需要協助、
如果你需要食物或庇護所，
如果你需要食物或庇護所，
02:11
or you'd like to donate,

02:17
So why is this guy standing
underneath my sign with his sign?
underneath my sign with his sign?
41
125473
4881
為什麼這個人要拿著他的標誌，
站在我的標誌下？
站在我的標誌下？
02:23
Well, we wondered
if anybody would call that 311 sign,
if anybody would call that 311 sign,
42
131069
2565
我們想知道是否有人會
看到標誌而打 311，
看到標誌而打 311，
02:25
and as it turns out, they did --
43
133658
1556
結果是，的確會──
02:27
11,000 times people called.
44
135238
1731
一共有 11,000 人次播打。
02:28
I put those up in about 30 intersections.
45
136993
2064
我在約 30 個路口放了那標誌。
02:31
And we did connect them
with food and shelter and services.

46
139081
3374
我們也的確提供食物、
庇護所、及服務給他們。
庇護所、及服務給他們。
02:34
But yet he's still standing under my sign
47
142479
2062
但他仍然站在我的標誌下，
02:36
with a sign that says he wants a job.
48
144565
1882
拿著一個說他想要工作的標誌。
02:40
It's simple: he wants a job.
49
148088
1607
答案很簡單：他想要工作。
02:43
So I decided to do
something rare in government.

50
151315

所以我決定做一件
在政府中很罕見的事，

02:46
I decided to make the solution simpler
rather than more complicated.

51
154319

我決定把解決方案
變簡單而不是變複雜。
變簡單而不是變複雜。
02:50
I went back to my office,
I gathered my staff around

52
158626
2525
我回到我的辦公室，
我把我的幕僚找來，
我把我的幕僚找來，
02:53
and I said, "We're going
to take this man at his word,
to take this man at his word,
53
161175
2611
我說：「我們要相信這個人說的話，
02:55
and others like him.
54
163810
1185
以及其他像他的人。
02:57
The man says he wants a job,
we're going to give him a job,
we're going to give him a job,
55
165019
2777
這個人說他想要一份工作，
我們就給他一份工作，
我們就給他一份工作，
02:59
and we're going to make our city
an even better place in the meantime."

56
167820

過程中我們還要讓我們的城市
變成一個更好的地方。」
變成一個更好的地方。」
03:04
You see, Albuquerque is a beautiful place.
57
172099
2209
阿布奎基是個很美的地方。
03:06
We're a mile high,
58
174332
1271
高度大約是一英哩，
03:07
the Sandia Mountains on the east,
59
175627
2106
東邊是桑迪亞山，
03:09
the Rio Grande runs through
the center of the city;
the center of the city;
60
177757
2540
格蘭河穿過城市中央；
03:12
we're the home of the Albuquerque
International Balloon Fiesta.

61
180321
3064
我們的城市是阿布奎基
國際熱氣球節的家。
國際熱氣球節的家。
03:15
On a day like today,
62
183409
1164
在像今天的日子裡，
03:16
you could literally ski this morning
and golf this afternoon.
and golf this afternoon.
63
184597
2944
你真的可以在早上滑雪、
下午打高爾夫球。
下午打高爾夫球。
03:20
But there's always something to do --
64
188031
1891
但總是有事要做──
03:21
always weeds to pull, litter to pick up.
65
189946
2102
總是有雜草要拔、有垃圾要撿。
03:24
If you're going to have an initiative
like this in your city,
like this in your city,
66
192805
2936
如果你要在你的城市中
提出這樣的方案，
提出這樣的方案，
03:27
you have to ask yourself two questions.
67
195765
1895
你得問自己兩個問題。
03:29
First one is: Is there anything
left to do in your city?
left to do in your city?
68
197684
2670
第一：你的城市中
有無其他需要做的事？
有無其他需要做的事？
03:32
And if the answer is no,
69
200378
1182
如果答案是否定的，
03:33
would you please give me
your mayor's phone number,
your mayor's phone number,
70
201584
2408
請給我你的市長的電話，
03:36
because I need some advice.
71
204016
1323
因為我需要點建議。
03:37
(Laughter)
72
205363
1007
（笑聲）
03:38
But the second question
you have to ask is this:
you have to ask is this:
73
206394
2267
你得要問的第二個問題是：
03:40
Are your solutions to panhandling working?
74
208685
2364
你對於乞討的解決方案有用嗎？
03:44
If you're like Albuquerque,
75
212686
1286
如果你和阿布奎基一樣，
03:45
and you're taking the punitive
approach like we used to,
approach like we used to,
76
213996
2646
且跟我們以前一樣用懲罰的方法，
03:48
handing out tickets to panhandlers
or those who give them money,
or those who give them money,
77
216666
3134
開罰單給乞討者或給他們錢的人，
03:51
I'm going to suggest
that your solutions aren't working,
that your solutions aren't working,
78
219824
2674
我得說，你的解決方案是沒用的，
03:54
and I know you're not getting
to the root of your problem in your city.
to the root of your problem in your city.
79
222522
3598
我知道你並沒有找到
你的城市問題的根源。
你的城市問題的根源。
03:58
So if you have something to do
80
226785
1621
所以，如果你有事要做，
04:01
and you need people
that need something to do,
that need something to do,
81
229185
2601
且你需要人們需要有事做，
04:03
there's a better way.
82
231810
1210
有更好的方式。
04:05
And the good news is,
it's not that complicated.
it's not that complicated.
83
233044
2303
好消息是，它並不複雜。
04:07
This a 2006 Dodge van.
84
235860
2456
這是台 2006 年的道奇箱型車。
04:10
It was in my motor pool
not doing anything.
not doing anything.
85
238674
2652
它本來停在我的
車輛調配場，沒用途。
車輛調配場，沒用途。
04:13
We put some new tires on it,
wrapped it with a logo.
wrapped it with a logo.
86
241350
2942
我們給它換了新胎，
並用標語來包裝它。
並用標語來包裝它。
04:16
This van now goes out to street corners
where our panhandlers are --
where our panhandlers are --
87
244316
3795
現在這台車會前往
乞討者所在的街角──
乞討者所在的街角──
04:20
we go to them.
88
248135
1189
我們去接觸他們。
04:21
We stop the van, we get out,
89
249856
1446
我們停下車，我們下車，
04:23
we ask them if they
would like a day's work
would like a day's work
90
251326
2032
我們問他們
是否想做一天的工作，
是否想做一天的工作，
04:25
rather than panhandling for the day.
91
253382
1959
而不是一天都在乞討。
04:28
And if you wondered
if they really mean it --
if they really mean it --
92
256341
2359
如果你想知道，
他們是否真的想要工作──
他們是否真的想要工作──
04:31
it takes us about an hour
to fill this van up in the morning,
to fill this van up in the morning,
93
259935
2957
早上我們花了一小時
就把箱型車塞滿了，
就把箱型車塞滿了，
04:34
because almost everybody we ask
takes a job for the day.
takes a job for the day.
94
262916
3419
因為幾乎我們問的每個人
都接受了一天的工作。
都接受了一天的工作。
04:39
But you need more than just a van.
95
267373
1662
但你需要的不只是台箱型車。
04:41
You need a super-fantastic
human being to drive that van.
human being to drive that van.
96
269587
2924
你需要個超強人類來開那台箱型車。
04:45
And my super-fantastic human being,
his name is Will.
his name is Will.
97
273276
2670
我的超強人類叫做威爾。
04:47
This is him in the yellow vest.
98
275970
1771
穿黃色背心的就是他。
04:49
Will works at our local nonprofit partner.
99
277765
2534
威爾為一個地方性的
非營利合作伙伴工作。
非營利合作伙伴工作。
04:52
He works with the homeless every day.
100
280323
1823
他每天都在接觸無家可歸的人。
04:54
The panhandlers trust him,
101
282170
1729
乞討者相信他。
04:56
he believes in them,
102
284696
1376
他相信他們。
04:58
he hustles.
103
286703
1215
他做的是兜售。
05:00
I like to say, "Where
there's a Will, there's a way."
there's a Will, there's a way."
104
288285
2633
我想說：「有志者事竟成。」
（註：「志」和「威爾」的英文相同）
（註：「志」和「威爾」的英文相同）
05:03
So if you're going to do
the Better Way campaign in your city,
the Better Way campaign in your city,
105
291326
2994
如果你想在你的城市
實施「更好的方式」，
實施「更好的方式」，
05:06
you need to find yourself a Will,
106
294344
1652
你得幫自己找個威爾，
05:09
because he's really one of the keys
to making this successful
to making this successful
107
297340
3657
因為他確實是讓這方案
05:13
in the city of Albuquerque.
108
301021
1600
能在阿布奎基市成功的關鍵之一。
05:14
You also need a great nonprofit partner.
109
302645
2187
你也需要一個很好的
非營利合作伙伴。
非營利合作伙伴。
05:16
Ours is St. Martin's Hospitality Center.
110
304856
2523
我們的是聖馬丁接待中心。
05:19
They've been in our community
for over 30 years.
for over 30 years.
111
307403
2509
他們在我們的社區中
有三十年以上了。
有三十年以上了。
05:21
They provide counseling, food, shelter,
112
309936
2513
他們提供諮詢、食物、庇護所，
05:24
and if they don't provide it,
113
312473
1403
如果他們無法提供，
05:25
they know somebody in our city that does.
114
313900
2016
他們也知道在城市裡有誰能提供。
05:28
But they do something much more
for me as the mayor.
for me as the mayor.
115
316550
2443
但他們為我這個市長
所做的事遠超過這些。
所做的事遠超過這些。
05:31
They provide agility.
116
319017
1635
他們提供靈活性。
05:32
You see, it takes me two weeks,
117
320676
2213
我花了兩個星期，
05:34
maybe two months sometimes,
118
322913
1770
有時甚至要兩個月，
05:36
to onboard an employee
with the city of Albuquerque.
with the city of Albuquerque.
119
324707
2535
才能讓阿布奎基市的
一個員工上軌道。
一個員工上軌道。
05:40
So you could imagine --
120
328024
1755
所以你們可以想像──
05:41
my old Dodge van,
121
329803
1169
我的老道奇箱型車，
05:42
my super-fantastic human being, Will,
122
330996
2310
我的超強人類威爾，
05:45
a great local nonprofit partner --
123
333330
1895
一個很棒的地方非營利合作伙伴──
05:47
they drive to the corner,
there's a panhandler,
there's a panhandler,
124
335249
2234
他們開車到街角，
有個乞討者在那兒，
有個乞討者在那兒，
05:49
they say, "Would you like
to work for the day?"

125
337507
2254
他們說：「你想要

（笑聲）
05:57
It wouldn't work.
129

It's really important that we have
that agility in our program.

And they do the paperwork,

our old Dodge van takes them

目前，
06:22
with the pilot program
and a couple days a week,

我不知道你們是否有
秤過風滾草多重，

06:38
but they don't weigh much,
145
386456

它們一點也不重，
06:39
so you can imagine the volume
of material that we've picked up.

你們可以想像

而我的垃圾管理部門最棒。
06:50
We send our trucks out
at the end of the day,
at the end of the day,
149
398389

一天結束時，我們派出卡車，
06:52
they help the panhandlers
put into the truck

150
400561

他們協助乞討者把他們一天中

撿拾的東西通通裝上卡車，

405084
1503
載到掩埋場去。
06:58
I'm lucky that I have city employees
153

我很幸運，有市府員工
07:00
that are willing to work side by side
with our panhandlers.
with our panhandlers.
154
408399
2941
願意與我們的乞討者並肩工作。
07:03
They're lifting up our city
while lifting up their lives.

155
411364
2986
他們在振興我們的城市時，
也振興了自己的生活。

07:06
And like anything else --
listen, it takes resources.
listen, it takes resources.
156
414374
3066
凡事都一樣──需要資源。
07:09
But the good news is it doesn't take much.
157
417464
2728
但好消息是，不用很多。
07:13
We started with an old van,
158
421181
1839
我們開始時只有一台老箱型車、
07:15
a super-fantastic human being,
159
423044
1738
一個超強人類、
07:16
a great local nonprofit
160
424806
1294
一個很棒的地方非營利機構、
07:18
and $50,000.
161
426124
1596
以及 $50,000。
07:20
But we also had to have community trust.
162
428648
2166
但我們也得要有社區的信任。
07:22
And fortunately, we had built
that up in years prior to Better Way.
that up in years prior to Better Way.
163
430838
3547
幸運的是，在「更好的方式」
推出之前數年我們就已建立好了。

07:26
We have a program called
"Albuquerque Heading Home,"

164
434958
2510
我們有個專案叫做
「阿布奎基回家去」。
「阿布奎基回家去」。
07:29
a Housing First model where we house
the chronically homeless,

這是「庇家居先」組織的模型，
讓長期無家可歸者有住所，

07:32
and when I told my community
we wanted to do that differently,

166
440560
3085
我告訴我的社區，
我們想用不同的方式來做，

I said there's a smart way
to do the right thing.

167
443669

我說，有個聰明的方法來做對的事。
07:38
We have now housed 650 chronically
homeless, medically vulnerable --

我們現在提供住所給 650 個

07:42
frankly, most likely to die
on the streets in our city.

169
450909
2806
坦白說，他們本來很可能會
死在我們城市的街上。
死在我們城市的街上。
07:46
We commissioned our university,
they studied it.
they studied it.
170
454357
2369
我們委託我們的大學，
他們來做研究。
他們來做研究。
07:48
We could tell the taxpayers,
we can save you 31.6 percent

171
456750
3654
我們可以告訴納稅者，
我們能幫你省下 31.6%

We've now saved over five million dollars
while housing 650 people.

173
464430
3998
我們提供住所給 650 人，
但省下了超過五百萬元。
但省下了超過五百萬元。
08:00
So we had that community trust,
174
468452
1967
所以我們有社區的信任，
08:02
but we had to have a little bit more
of an honest conversation also
of an honest conversation also
175
470443
3215
但我們也得對社區來進行
08:05
as a community,
176
473682
1487
誠實的對話，
08:07
because we had to get people to understand
177
475193
2026
因為我們得要讓人們了解，
08:09
that when they hand
those five dollars out the window,
those five dollars out the window,
178
477243
2543
當他們從車窗遞出 $5，
08:11
they might actually be minimizing
their opportunity
their opportunity
179
479810
2396
可能反而會把能夠協助那個求助者的
08:14
to help the person in need,
and here's why:
and here's why:
180
482230
2056
機會降至最低，原因如下：
08:16
that five dollars might go
to buying some fast food today --
to buying some fast food today --
181
484310
3813
那 $5 可能今天會被用來買速食──
08:20
a lot of times it goes to buying
drugs and alcohol.
drugs and alcohol.
182
488147
2502
但很多時候它會被用來買毒品和酒。
08:23
That same five dollars,
183
491172
1151
同樣的 $5，
08:24
if you gave it to one of our shelters,
184
492347
2258
如果你把它給予我們的庇護所，
08:26
could feed seven people today.
185
494629
1761
一天就能讓七個人溫飽。
08:28
And if you gave it to one of our local
food banks or food pantries,
food banks or food pantries,
186
496414
4282
如果給予我們當地的
食物銀行或是救濟食品發放中心，
食物銀行或是救濟食品發放中心，
08:32
we could actually feed
20 people with that money.
20 people with that money.
187
500720
2510
我們可以用那筆錢讓二十個人溫飽。
08:37
People ask,"Well, Albuquerque
is 600,000 people -- million, metro --
is 600,000 people -- million, metro --
188
505891
4848
人們會問：「阿布奎基有六十萬人口
──百萬人都會區──
──百萬人都會區──
08:42
this wouldn't work in our city,
we're too big, we're too small."
we're too big, we're too small."
189
510763
3091
這在我們的城市不可行，
我們太大，我們太小。」
我們太大，我們太小。」
08:45
I disagree; if you have
one panhandler on one city block,
one panhandler on one city block,
190
513878
2695
我不同意；只要有
一個城市街區有一名乞討者，
一個城市街區有一名乞討者，
你就可以做得到。
08:48
you can do this.
191
516597
1156
如果你住在有
850 萬人口的城市，
850 萬人口的城市，
08:49
If you live in a city
of eight-and-half million people,
of eight-and-half million people,
192
517777
2618
你可以做得到。
08:52
you can do this.
193
520419
1155
重要的不是你做什麼。
08:53
It doesn't matter what you do.
194
521598
1477
並不是做什麼工作，
重點是工作的尊嚴。
重點是工作的尊嚴。
08:55
It's not the work that you do,
it's the dignity of the work.
it's the dignity of the work.
195
523099
2862
做什麼都可以。
08:57
You could do anything.
196
525985
1158
08:59
So I think any city could do this.
197
527167
2100
所以我認為每個城市都能做到。
09:01
And people say to me,
198
529291
1199
人們會對我說：
09:02
"Mayor, that's just a little too simple.
199
530514
2064
「市長，這有點太簡單了。
09:05
It can't work that way."
200
533377
2084
不可能那樣運作的。」
09:07
But I tell you what, friends:
201
535485
1549
但，朋友們，讓我告訴你們：
09:09
when you go to a street corner
202
537058
1443
當你到一個街角，
09:10
and you engage with a panhandler
with dignity and respect,
with dignity and respect,
203
538525
2928
你以尊嚴尊重對待乞討者，
09:13
maybe for the first time in years,
maybe in their life,
maybe in their life,
204
541477
2700
也許這是他們一年來或一生中
頭一次有尊嚴，
頭一次有尊嚴，
09:16
and you tell them that you believe in them
205
544201
2055
你告訴他們，說你相信他們，
09:18
and that this is their city
as much as it's your city,
as much as it's your city,
206
546280
2672
這是你的城市，
同樣也是他們的城市，
同樣也是他們的城市，
09:20
and that you actually need their help
to make our place better,
to make our place better,
207
548976
4767
你其實需要他們的協助，
來讓我們的地方更好，
來讓我們的地方更好，
09:25
and you understand that this
isn't the answer to all their problems,
isn't the answer to all their problems,
208
553767
3318
你知道這並不能解決
他們所有的問題，
他們所有的問題，
09:29
but at least it's a start,
209
557109
1918
但至少是個開始，
09:31
an amazing thing happens.
210
559051
1642
神奇的事就會發生。
09:33
When they get out on the jobsite
and they start working together,
and they start working together,
211
561253
3346
當他們到了工作地點，
他們開始一起工作，
他們開始一起工作，
09:36
you start seeing amazing things happen.
212
564623
1897
你會開始看到神奇的事發生。
09:38
They see teamwork; they see
the fact that they can make a difference.
the fact that they can make a difference.
213
566544
3303
他們會看到團隊合作；
他們會看到他們也能造成不同。
他們會看到他們也能造成不同。
那一天結束後，
當他們坐那台舊道奇回到聖馬丁，
09:41
And at the end of the day,
214

1241
09:43
when they get back to St. Martin's
in that old Dodge van,

This is me just two weeks ago,
227
602692
2637
這是我，時間是兩週前，
10:18
at St. Martin's,
228
606938
1168
地點在聖馬丁，
10:20
doing our point-in-time survey
229
608130
1452
做我們的庇護人口調查，
10:21
that we do every two years.
230
609606
1377
我們每兩年會做一次。
10:23
I'm interviewing a gentleman
who's homeless, like we do,
who's homeless, like we do,
231
611549

我在訪問一名無家可歸的男子，
10:26
getting his information,
figuring out where he's from,

how he got there,

617754
1728
如何走到這一步、
10:31
what we can do to help him.
234
619506
1603
我們能如何協助他。
10:33
And you notice he's holding the same sign
that the guy was holding in 2015,
that the guy was holding in 2015,
235
621133
3971
你會注意到，他拿的標語和
2015 年的那個人拿的一樣，
2015 年的那個人拿的一樣，
10:37
same sign I walked out with here today.
236
625128
2103
也就是我今天進場時拿的那標語。
10:40
So you have to ask yourself:
Is it really making a difference?
Is it really making a difference?
237
628167
2972
你得要自問：這真有造成不同嗎？
10:43
Absolutely it's making a difference.
238
631163
2009
絕對有造成不同。

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard J. Berry - Mayor of AlbuquerqueRichard J. Berry is the mayor of Albuquerque -- the 32nd largest city in America and the largest city in New Mexico.
Why you should listen
Richard J. Berry was elected mayor of Albuquerque in 2009. Prior to serving as mayor, Berry was elected twice as a State Representative to the New Mexico State Legislature, and he owned a successful Albuquerque construction company for decades that conducted business throughout the Southwest United States.
On his watch, Albuquerque was ranked second Best Run City in the nation with a population of over 500,000. Berry has reduced the size of city government and held budget growth to below inflation each year -- all while maintaining a high level of service to taxpayers and city residents. Also under the his leadership, Albuquerque was recently named as the 6th most technologically advanced city in America.
Berry was recently recognized as one of the Most Inspirational People in America by the Washington Post, largely due to the success of a program called "There's a Better Way," which takes a new approach to addressing panhandling by providing the homeless with opportunities to work for the City and connect them to resources and help.
Berry has been married to his wife, Maria, for 26 years and they have one son, Jacob, who serves in the Army Corps of Cadets while studying at Texas A&M University.
