I want to start開始 out
with quoting引用 Helen海倫 Keller凱勒,
0
1625
3375
我想用海倫凱勒的話
來開始這場演說,
00:18
that great woman女人 that we all admire欣賞.
1
6583
3060
她是位人人都景仰的女性。
00:21
And she had a statement聲明
that is very profound深刻,
2
9667
3583
她說過一句非常深奧的話,
00:26
and this statement聲明 is
3
14333
2060
那句話就是,
00:28
that science科學 has been able能夠 to find
cures治愈 for many許多 evils罪惡,
4
16417
6059
科學已經能夠
為許多罪惡找到解藥,
00:34
but never the greatest最大 evil邪惡
of all in human人的 beings眾生,
5
22500
4976
但始終無法治療人類的萬惡之首,
00:39
and that evil邪惡 is apathy暮氣.
6
27500
2708
也就是冷淡。
00:43
So, we know that apathy暮氣
really costs成本 us a lot,
7
31792
4476
我們知道,冷淡讓我們
付出很大的代價,
00:48
especially特別 in our democracy民主.
8
36292
2434
特別是在我們的民主方面。
00:50
And when we think of why
people do not get involved參與,
9
38750
3434
當我們去思考為什麼
大家不願意去涉入,
00:54
why they do not become成為 activists活動家,
10
42208
2268
為什麼大家不成為行動主義者,
00:56
it's often經常 that people are so worn磨損的 down
with their own擁有 familial家族 responsibilities責任,
11
44500
5684
答案通常是,大家已經因為
自己的家庭責任而精疲力盡了,
01:02
and women婦女 especially特別.
12
50208
2268
特別是女性。
01:04
You know, women婦女,
they have so many許多 inhibitions禁忌.
13
52500
3559
你們知道的,
女性受到好多的禁制。
01:08
Many許多 of them have suffered遭遇
so much trauma外傷 in their lives生活,
14
56083
3393
許多女性在一生中受到巨大的創傷,
01:11
so many許多 aggressions侵略 in their lives生活.
15
59500
2226
一生中遭受好多侵犯行為。
01:13
And so it's very hard for them to realize實現
that they have leadership領導 capacities能力.
16
61750
5059
所以,她們很難知道
她們同樣擁有領導能力。
01:18
That they can get out there,
and they could change更改 the world世界.
17
66833
2959
她們其實可以站出來,
可以改變世界。
01:22
Another另一個 thing that many許多 women婦女 --
18
70583
2018
許多女性還有一個狀況——
01:24
we think that we have to do everything.
19
72625
2268
我們認為什麼都得由我們來做。
01:26
That we are the only ones那些
responsible主管 for our families家庭,
20
74917
3559
認為我們得要獨自
扛起我們家庭的責任,
01:30
and it is so hard for us to delegate代表
21
78500
3393
我們很難授權別人來做這些事,
01:33
and just get others其他 to help us
do the duties職責 that we are responsible主管 for.
22
81917
4351
很難讓別人來協助我們
做我們負責的工作。
01:38
We feel embarrassed尷尬 or we feel guilty有罪.
23
86292
2517
我們會覺得丟臉或是有罪惡感。
01:40
But we know that we have
to make this happen發生,
24
88833
2518
但我們知道,我們
必須要做到這一點,
01:43
because if not, we will never have time
to be able能夠 to volunteer志願者
25
91375
4434
如果不這樣的話,我們就
永遠不會有時間能夠自願
01:47
to help on these many許多 causes原因
that are now facing面對 us.
26
95833
4000
去協助達成我們現在
面對的許多目標。
01:53
One of the areas that women婦女
can give up a little bit of time
27
101333
2851
女人可以在一個領域中
放棄一點點時間,
01:56
and that is in shopping購物, OK?
28
104208
1976
那個領域就是購物。
01:58
(Laughter笑聲)
29
106208
2518
(笑聲)
02:00
And especially特別 when we go out there
30
108750
1684
特別是當我們出門去
02:02
shopping購物 for things
that we don't even need.
31
110458
2101
購買一堆我們根本不需要的東西。
02:04
(Laughter笑聲)
32
112583
1018
(笑聲)
02:05
You know, you never saw
a hearse柩車 with a U-Haulu-haul behind背後 it.
33
113625
3726
你們從未見過 U-Haul 跟在靈車的後面 。
(意思是:人死後「萬般帶不去」)
02:09
(Laughter笑聲)
34
117375
3018
(笑聲)
02:12
We have to live生活 simply只是,
so that others其他 can simply只是 live生活.
35
120417
3601
我們得要簡單地過日子
其他人才有日子能過。
02:16
And when we think
of the kind of inheritance遺產
36
124042
2309
當我們去思考有什麼遺產
02:18
that we want to leave離開 to our children孩子
or our grandchildren孫子,
37
126375
3351
是我們想要留給孩子、孫子的,
02:21
think of leaving離開 them a legacy遺產 of justice正義.
38
129750
3059
想想看我們可以留給他們
「正義」這項遺產。
02:24
This is a legacy遺產
that they can not only imitate模擬,
39
132833
2643
這項遺產不只是讓他們可以仿效,
02:27
but they can be proud驕傲 of
for the rest休息 of their lives生活.
40
135500
3143
他們也可以在餘生為此感到自豪。
02:30
If we leave離開 them a lot of material材料 goods產品,
all they're going to do is fight鬥爭,
41
138667
3976
如果我們留給他們很多實體的物品,
他們只會做一件事:打鬥,
02:34
and they're going to hate討厭 each other.
42
142667
1809
且他們將會痛恨彼此。
02:36
Just remember記得 that,
when we think about what we're doing.
43
144500
3059
當我們思考我們該做什麼時,
別忘了這點。
02:39
The other thing that we have to do
to liberate解放 our women婦女, eventually終於,
44
147583
4601
若最終要解放女性,
還有一件事是我們得做的,
02:44
so that we can do the kind
of volunteer志願者 work that we need to do
45
152208
3310
這樣我們才能去做我們
必須要做的自願性工作,
02:47
to change更改 this world世界,
46
155542
1517
來改變這個世界,
02:49
is we have to have a different不同 kind
of an education教育 for our young年輕 women婦女.
47
157083
4476
這件事就是要提供
年輕女性一種不同的教育。
02:53
Unfortunately不幸, in our societies社會
around the world世界,
48
161583
3476
不幸的是,在全世界的社會中,
02:57
women婦女 are taught to be victims受害者.
49
165083
2292
女人都被教導成為受害者。
03:00
Women婦女 are not taught that they
are going to have to defend保衛 themselves他們自己,
50
168083
3935
女人並沒有被教導
要學會保衛自己,
03:04
that they're going to have
to support支持 themselves他們自己
51
172042
2309
沒有被教導要學會支持自己,
03:06
and they have to protect保護 themselves他們自己.
52
174375
1893
及要學會保護自己。
03:08
Because, you know, when we
actually其實 look at the animal動物 kingdom王國,
53
176292
2953
因為,你們知道的,
當我們真的去看動物王國,
03:11
and we see who are the most ferocious兇猛,
the male or the female?
54
179269
4374
我們看到最兇殘的
都是雄性或雌性?
03:15
We know it's the female, right?
55
183667
1934
我們都知道是雌性,對吧?
03:17
So something went wrong錯誤 with us at the top最佳
of that animal動物 kingdom王國 as women婦女.
56
185625
4601
所以,在動物王國最上層的
人類女性應該是出了什麼問題。
03:22
(Laughter笑聲)
57
190250
1643
(笑聲)
03:23
So I want to give you an example
of how I found發現 my voice語音.
58
191917
3351
我想要舉個例子,跟各位說明
我如何找到我的聲音。
03:27
And I was very fortunate幸運 in that,
when I was 25 years年份 old,
59
195292
3559
我是很幸運的,當時我二十五歲,
03:30
I met會見 a gentleman紳士 named命名 Fred弗雷德 Ross羅斯 Sr.,
60
198875
2393
我遇到了一位男士,
叫做大佛萊德羅斯,
03:33
who organized有組織的 a chapter章節 of a group called
the Community社區 Service服務 Organization組織
61
201292
4851
他組織了「社區服務組織」
這個團體的一個分會,
03:38
in my hometown家鄉 of Stockton斯圖克頓, California加州.
62
206167
2851
位在我的家鄉,加州的史塔克頓。
03:41
This was a grassroots基層 organization組織,
and I was recruited應徵 to be a volunteer志願者.
63
209042
4250
它是一個草根組織,
我被招募成為該組織的志工。
03:46
So, one day, while we were
sitting坐在 in the office辦公室,
64
214208
3226
有一天,當我們坐在辦公室裡,
03:49
a farm農場 worker工人 comes in.
65
217458
2018
有一位農工走進來。
03:51
And he's paralyzed,
he can hardly幾乎不 walk步行, he has a crutch拐杖.
66
219500
4018
他癱瘓了,他幾乎無法走路,
他帶著一根拐杖。
03:55
And he needs需求 help.
67
223542
1309
他需要協助。
03:56
He needs需求 someone有人 to help him
go down to the welfare福利 office辦公室
68
224875
2726
他需要有人協助他去福利辦公室,
去做一項申請。
03:59
and make an application應用.
69
227625
1309
04:00
So, I volunteered自告奮勇 to do that.
70
228958
2185
所以,我自願做這件事。
04:03
But when I got to the welfare福利 office辦公室,
71
231167
2517
但,當我到了福利辦公室,
04:05
they would not let me make
an application應用 for this gentleman紳士.
72
233708
4435
他們不讓我代替這位男士申請。
04:10
So I didn't know what to do,
I was at a loss失利.
73
238167
2851
我不知道該如何是好,我很茫然。
04:13
So I went back to the office辦公室,
and I told Mr先生. Ross羅斯,
74
241042
2809
所以,我回到辦公室,
告訴羅斯先生此事:
04:15
"They won't慣於 let me make an application應用."
75
243875
2518
「他們不讓我申請。」
04:18
And he said to me, very sternly嚴厲,
76
246417
2517
他非常堅決地對我說:
04:20
"You go right back down
to that welfare福利 office辦公室,
77
248958
3518
「你再回去福利辦公室,
04:24
and you demand需求 to see a supervisor.
78
252500
2375
要求見主管。
04:27
And you demand需求 that they
let him make an application應用."
79
255875
3041
然後要求他們必須讓他申請。」
04:31
And I thought, "Wow, I can do that?"
80
259875
2101
我心想:「哇,能這樣啊?」
04:34
(Laughter笑聲)
81
262000
1059
(笑聲)
04:35
So I thought about it,
82
263083
1268
所以,我想了一下,
04:36
and I kind of overcame克服了
my anxieties焦慮 and my fears恐懼.
83
264375
2976
算是克服了我的焦慮和恐懼。
04:39
I went down to the welfare福利 office辦公室
and I demanded要求 to see the supervisor.
84
267375
3809
我前往福利辦公室,要求見主管。
04:43
Sure enough足夠, he came來了 out,
85
271208
2226
當然,他出來了,
04:45
and they had to let Mr先生. Ruiz魯伊斯
make an application應用 for welfare福利.
86
273458
3351
而他們得要讓魯茲先生
完成福利的申請。
04:48
And he got his disability失能
for himself他自己 and his family家庭.
87
276833
3476
他為自己和他的家人
取得了殘障福利。
04:52
But that taught me a lesson.
88
280333
1685
但那教了我一課。
04:54
That taught me that I had a voice語音.
89
282042
2559
那教了我:我也有聲音。
04:56
Well, Mr先生. Ross羅斯 also taught many許多 of us
many許多 other things, including包含 Cesar塞薩爾 Chavez查韋斯
90
284625
4309
羅斯先生也教了我們很多人
很多其他的事,包括凱薩查維茲,
05:00
and many許多 other volunteers志願者.
91
288958
1851
以及許多其他志工。
05:02
And he taught us not only
that we can make demands需要 of people,
92
290833
3518
他教我們,我們不僅
可以對別人提出要求,
05:06
especially特別 our public上市 officials官員.
93
294375
2559
特別是對我們的政府官員。
05:08
And this is something
we should always keep in mind心神:
94
296958
2435
我們應該永遠牢記這件事:
05:11
every一切 public上市 official官方 --
guess猜測 what -- they work for us.
95
299417
4142
每一位政府官員——
你猜如何——他們為我們工作。
05:15
Because we pay工資 their salaries工資
with out taxes.
96
303583
3143
因為我們繳稅來支付他們的薪水。
05:18
And they are actually其實 our servants公務員.
97
306750
3226
他們其實是我們的公僕。
05:22
Some of them turn out to be leaders領導者,
but not all of them.
98
310000
2726
他們當中有些人後來成了領袖,
但並非所有人。
05:24
(Laughter笑聲)
99
312750
1059
(笑聲)
05:25
Once一旦 in a while we get
a leader領導 out of there.
100
313833
2935
偶爾,他們之中會出一位領袖。
05:28
The other thing that Mr先生. Ross羅斯 taught us
is that voting表決 is extremely非常 important重要.
101
316792
4934
羅斯先生還教了我們另一件事,
投票是非常重要的。
05:33
And not just voting表決,
102
321750
1559
不只是投票,
05:35
but going out there
and getting得到 other people to vote投票.
103
323333
3351
還要採取行動,讓其他人去投票。
05:38
Going door to door.
104
326708
1250
挨家挨戶拜訪。
05:40
Phone電話 banking銀行業, talking to voters選民,
105
328792
2101
電話銀行,和選舉人談話,
05:42
because many許多 voters選民 have a lot of doubts疑惑
and they don't know how to vote投票.
106
330917
3517
因為許多選舉人有許多疑惑,
且他們不知道要如何投票。
05:46
And unfortunately不幸,
107
334458
1268
不幸的是,
05:47
we know that in many許多 countries國家
people are not allowed允許 to vote投票
108
335750
3059
我們知道,在許多國家,
人民不被允許投票,
05:50
because we have voter選民 suppression抑制
in other countries國家,
109
338833
2768
因為在其他國家會打壓選舉人,
05:53
like we do here
in the United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國.
110
341625
2268
就像我們美國這裡所做的一樣。
05:55
But the thing is, if we can
get out there as individuals個人
111
343917
2642
但,重點是,如果我們能夠
以個人的身分採取行動,
05:58
and talk to people,
so we can remove去掉 their apathy暮氣
112
346583
3518
和大家交談,來消除他們的冷淡,
06:02
and make sure that they can vote投票.
113
350125
2268
確保他們去投票。
06:04
So, I want to give you an example
of a woman女人 in our foundation基礎,
114
352417
4142
讓我舉個例子,
我們的基金會有一名女子,
06:08
the Dolores德洛麗絲 Huerta韋爾塔 Foundation基礎,
115
356583
1601
Dolores Huerta 基金會,
06:10
and just to show顯示 you
that sometimes有時 people have power功率,
116
358208
3643
這個例子可以讓各位看到,
有時人們本來就擁有力量,
06:13
but they don't know it.
117
361875
1268
只是他們不知道。
06:15
But once一旦 they find it,
they do miraculous神奇 things.
118
363167
2934
但一旦他們找到了這股力量,
他們就能做到驚人的事。
06:18
So, Leticia萊蒂西亞 Prado普拉多
is an immigrant移民 from Mexico墨西哥,
119
366125
4184
所以,拉蒂夏普拉多
是來自墨西哥的移民,
06:22
only has a sixth-grade第六級 education教育
120
370333
2143
只有六年級的教育程度,
06:24
and speaks說話 very limited有限 English英語.
121
372500
2684
能說的英文也很有限。
06:27
But she was very concerned關心
122
375208
1893
但她非常擔心,
06:29
because the children孩子 at the middle中間 school學校
in their town called Weedpatch韋德斯派特 --
123
377125
5351
因為在他們的小鎮
威德帕奇的中學學生——
06:34
this is in California加州, Central中央 Valley --
124
382500
2059
這是加州的中央谷地——
06:36
they couldn't不能 go out
and play in the schoolyard校園,
125
384583
3268
他們不能出去到校園運動場玩耍,
06:39
because the air空氣 quality質量 is so bad
126
387875
2601
因為空氣品質太差了,
06:42
in the southern南部的 part部分
of Kern克恩 County, California加州
127
390500
2559
在美國加州克恩郡的南方地區。
06:45
in our United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國.
128
393083
2018
06:47
So she and her husband丈夫 went out there,
and they passed通過 a bond issue問題
129
395125
4768
她和她先生站出來,
他們通過了一項債券發行,
06:51
to build建立 a brand new,
state-of-the-art最先進的 gymnasium健身房
130
399917
3392
來建立全新的先進體育館,
06:55
for the kids孩子 at their middle中間 school學校.
131
403333
2084
供他們的中學的學生使用。
06:58
That was a big success成功.
132
406750
1726
那是個大成功。
07:00
Then she heard聽說 a rumor謠言
133
408500
1601
然後,她聽到謠言,
07:02
that the principal主要 was going to end結束
the breakfast早餐 program程序
134
410125
3393
聽說校長打算要終止
農工孩童的早餐方案,
07:05
for the farm農場 worker工人 children孩子,
135
413542
1476
07:07
because the principal主要 thought
it was just too much paperwork證件.
136
415042
3726
因為校長認為文書作業太繁重了。
07:10
So, Leticia萊蒂西亞 got herself她自己 elected當選
to the school學校 board.
137
418792
3351
所以拉蒂夏競選並被選為
學校董事會成員。
07:14
And they kept不停 the breakfast早餐 program程序,
and she got rid擺脫 of the principal主要.
138
422167
3684
他們保住了早餐方案,
還擺脫掉了那位校長。
07:17
(Laughter笑聲)
139
425875
2268
(笑聲)
07:20
(Applause掌聲)
140
428167
4642
(掌聲)
07:24
So there were other rumors傳聞
141
432833
1476
還有其他的謠言,
07:26
about some corruption腐敗
in the local本地 water district.
142
434333
3435
提到當地的水管區有貪腐的現象。
07:29
So, Leticia萊蒂西亞 got herself她自己 elected當選
to the water district.
143
437792
2726
所以,拉蒂夏又到
水管區參選並當選。
07:32
Then she looked看著 into all of the finances財政
of the water district
144
440542
2934
她調查了水管區的所有財務,
07:35
and found發現 there was 250,000 dollars美元
missing失踪 from their bank銀行 account帳戶.
145
443500
5476
發現他們的銀行帳戶中
有二十五萬美金不見了。
07:41
So, Leticia萊蒂西亞 called in the grand盛大 jury陪審團,
and several一些 arrests逮捕 have been made製作.
146
449000
4601
所以,拉蒂夏打電話給大陪審團,
逮捕了好幾個人。
07:45
And this is just an example
of a woman女人 who never went to high school學校,
147
453625
5268
在這個例子中的這位女子,
從來沒有上過高中,
也沒上過大學,
07:50
never went to college學院,
148
458917
1267
07:52
but she found發現 her power功率.
149
460208
1435
但她找到了她的力量。
07:53
And in addition加成, she has recruited應徵
other people in the community社區
150
461667
3476
此外,她也招募了社區中的其他人,
07:57
to also run for public上市 office辦公室,
151
465167
1976
請他們也去競選,
07:59
and guess猜測 what -- they've他們已經 all
gotten得到 themselves他們自己 elected當選.
152
467167
2642
猜猜如何——他們全都當選了。
08:01
So, I take that Leticia萊蒂西亞 really embodies體現
153
469833
5226
所以,我認為拉蒂夏真的實現了
08:07
something that Coretta科雷塔 Scott斯科特 King國王 said.
154
475083
2643
科麗塔史考特金恩說的話。
08:09
And I want to share分享 this with you.
Coretta科雷塔 Scott斯科特 King國王 said,
155
477750
2976
我想和各位分享,
科麗塔史考特金恩說:
08:12
"We will never have peace和平 in the world世界
until直到 women婦女 take power功率."
156
480750
3667
「在女人掌權之前,
世界永遠不會和平。」
08:17
(Applause掌聲)
157
485708
6060
(掌聲)
08:23
Now, I have amended修訂 that statement聲明 to say
158
491792
2517
我把她的話做了點修改:
08:26
that we will never have peace和平 in the world世界
until直到 feminists女權主義者 take power功率.
159
494333
4976
在女權主義者掌權之前,
世界永遠不會和平。
08:31
(Laughter笑聲)
160
499333
1060
(笑聲)
08:32
Because we know
there is a difference區別, right?
161
500417
2476
我們知道這兩者有差別,對吧?
08:34
Not only that, but if we want
to define確定 what is a feminist女權主義者 --
162
502917
3892
不只如此,如果我們要
定義女權主義者——
08:38
a person who stands站立 up
for reproductive生殖 rights權利,
163
506833
2810
一個人願意站出來,支持生育權、
08:41
for immigrants'移民 rights權利,
for the environment環境,
164
509667
2934
支持移民者的權利、支持環境,
08:44
for LGBTLGBT rights權利 and also
for labor勞動 unions工會 and working加工 people.
165
512625
4976
支持 LGBT 的權利,
還有勞工工會以及勞動階級。
08:49
(Applause掌聲)
166
517625
5183
(掌聲)
08:54
Which哪一個 also means手段
that men男人 can also be feminists女權主義者.
167
522832
4019
意思就是,男性也可以
是女權主義者。
(掌聲)
08:58
(Applause掌聲)
168
526875
5643
09:04
So when we think of feminization女性化,
169
532542
2309
當我們思考「女性化」時,
09:06
we should also think
of how can we feminize女性化 the policies政策,
170
534875
3476
我們應該也要想想我們如何
能夠將政策給女性化,
09:10
and not only of our major重大的 countries國家,
171
538375
2351
不只是大國,
09:12
the wealthy富裕 countries國家
like the United聯合的 States狀態,
172
540750
2101
富有的國家如美國,
09:14
but all over the world世界,
173
542875
1309
而是全世界,
09:16
our domestic國內 and foreign國外 policy政策.
174
544208
2226
我們的國內和外交政策。
09:18
And one of the things that we can do
to stop wars戰爭 and to have peace和平
175
546458
3810
若要阻止戰爭、追求和平,
我們能做的事之一
09:22
is to make sure that the wealthiest富有
countries國家 in the world世界
176
550292
2934
就是要確保世界上最富有的國家
09:25
also help the developing發展 countries國家.
177
553250
1934
也能協助開發中國家。
09:27
Now, we did this in the past過去.
178
555208
1643
我們在過去會這麼做。
09:28
After World世界 War戰爭 IIII,
179
556875
1518
在第二次大戰之後,
09:30
when Japan日本 and Germany德國
were devastated滿目瘡痍 after the war戰爭,
180
558417
3184
戰後日本和德國飽受蹂躪,
09:33
United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國 gave
many許多 tax dollars美元 to those two countries國家,
181
561625
5393
美國把稅收的很大一部分
給了這兩個國家,
09:39
so that they can rebuild重建 their economies經濟
and rebuild重建 their corporations公司.
182
567042
4476
讓它們能夠重建經濟,重建企業。
09:43
And we can do that again.
183
571542
1666
我們可以再做一次這種事。
09:46
And if we can think about how
we can help these other countries國家.
184
574083
3018
如果我們能夠想想,
我們能如何協助其他國家。
09:49
And I want to give an example
185
577125
1434
我想要舉個例子,
09:50
of issues問題 that we are facing面對
in the United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國,
186
578583
2893
關於我們在美國所面臨的議題。
09:53
for instance.
187
581500
1268
舉例來說。
09:54
We know that right now
188
582792
1309
我們知道現在有許多
來自中美的難民,
09:56
we have a lot of refugees難民
from Central中央 America美國
189
584125
2643
09:58
that are at the border邊境
of the United聯合的 States狀態.
190
586792
2351
待在美國的邊境。
10:01
Why do people leave離開 their homes家園,
191
589167
2517
人們為什麼要離開自己美麗的家?
10:03
their beautiful美麗 homes家園
that we go to as tourists遊客?
192
591708
2435
我們還會去那些地方觀光呢。
10:06
Because they don't have
opportunities機會 there.
193
594167
2184
因為他們在那裡沒有機會。
10:08
And then we think, "HmHM, bananas香蕉."
194
596375
3184
接著,我們想:「嗯,香蕉。」
10:11
How many許多 jillions吉利頓 of bananas香蕉 do we consume消耗
in the United聯合的 States狀態 every一切 single day?
195
599583
4268
在美國,我們每天會消費多少香蕉?
10:15
And throughout始終 the world世界.
196
603875
1768
全世界呢?
10:17
Now, do the people in Central中央 America美國
197
605667
2101
中美的人
10:19
get the profits利潤 from the bananas香蕉
that we consume消耗?
198
607792
3226
是否有從我們消費的香蕉獲利?
10:23
No, they don't.
199
611042
1392
並沒有。
10:24
The profits利潤 go to corporations公司
from the United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國.
200
612458
4768
利潤到了美國企業的手上。
10:29
And we think that this is wrong錯誤.
201
617250
1809
我們認為那是不對的。
10:31
Now, if the people in Central中央 America美國
were to be able能夠 to get some of that money
202
619083
5101
如果中美的人能夠取得
一些我們買香蕉的錢,
10:36
that we pay工資 for bananas香蕉,
203
624208
1643
10:37
then they wouldn't不會 have
to leave離開 their homes家園.
204
625875
2101
他們就不用離開家園了。
10:40
They wouldn't不會 have to come
as asylum避難所 seekers求職者
205
628000
2601
他們就不用像尋求政治避難者一樣
10:42
to the borders國界 of the United聯合的
States狀態 of America美國.
206
630625
2244
來到美國的邊境了。
10:44
And then maybe, many許多 children孩子 would not
have to be separated分離 from their parents父母.
207
632893
5541
也許,那時候,許多孩子
也不用和父母分離。
10:50
Now, we know that there are
countries國家 in the world世界
208
638458
2726
我們知道,世界上有些國家
10:53
that actually其實 have free自由 education教育
and have free自由 health健康 care關心
209
641208
3851
真的提供免費的教育和健康照護,
10:57
for all of the people in their country國家.
210
645083
2310
全國的國民都可享用。
10:59
And that country國家 is Cuba古巴.
211
647417
1934
那個國家就是古巴。
11:01
Cuba古巴 has health健康 care關心
for every一切 one of their citizens公民,
212
649375
2684
古巴的所有公民都享有健康照護,
11:04
and they have a free自由 college學院 education教育
for every一切 one of their citizens公民.
213
652083
4060
所有的公民也都能免費讀大學。
11:08
They're 11 million百萬 citizens公民.
214
656167
1851
他們有一千一百萬名公民。
11:10
Now, we think, if a poor較差的 country國家 like Cuba古巴
215
658042
3142
我們可以想想,
如果像古巴這麼貧窮的國家
11:13
can have these kind of resources資源,
and we know that they're a poor較差的 country國家,
216
661208
4143
都能有這樣的資源,
且我們知道他們是個貧窮的國家,
11:17
then why can't some
of the other wealthier富裕 countries國家,
217
665375
2559
那麼,為什麼其他更富有的國家,
11:19
like the United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國,
218
667958
1643
像是美國,
11:21
do the same相同?
219
669625
1268
為什麼不能?
11:22
I think that we can make that happen發生.
220
670917
1809
我認為我們可以實現它。
11:24
(Applause掌聲)
221
672750
3393
(掌聲)
11:28
But we know it's not going to happen發生
222
676167
1767
但我們知道,它不會成真,
11:29
until直到 we, the people
of the United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國,
223
677958
3810
除非我們,美國人民,
11:33
and people throughout始終 the world世界,
224
681792
1559
以及全世界的人民,
11:35
start開始 making製造 sure that they get public上市
officials官員 elected當選 to their governments政府
225
683375
4851
開始確保他們選出的政府官員
11:40
that really care關心 about the constituents成分,
they care關心 about people,
226
688250
3893
真正在乎憲法,在乎人民,
11:44
they will commit承諾 to make sure
that the resources資源 that they have
227
692167
3226
他們會承諾要確保他們擁有的資源
11:47
are going to be used for their citizens公民,
and not to be used for war戰爭.
228
695417
4101
會被用在公民身上,
而不是用在打仗上。
11:51
So, how do we make this happen發生?
229
699542
2392
我們要如何讓它成真?
11:53
We have to get rid擺脫 of the apathy暮氣,
230
701958
1685
我們得要擺脫冷淡,
11:55
we have to get more people involved參與.
231
703667
1934
我們得要讓更多人參與。
11:57
We know that if we can't have
a democracy民主 in the United聯合的 States狀態,
232
705625
3893
我們知道,在美國若要擁有民主,
12:01
we can't have democracies民主
throughout始終 the world世界,
233
709542
2226
在全世界若要擁有民主,
12:03
unless除非 people participate參加.
234
711792
1559
就需要人民參與。
12:05
So it is imperative勢在必行 that all of us
get out there and we say,
235
713375
4518
所以,極重要的就是,
我們所有人都要站出來,說:
12:09
"Get rid擺脫 of the apathy暮氣,
get off of the sidewalk人行道,
236
717917
3184
「擺脫冷淡,別再站在人行道上,
12:13

12:20
We recently最近 had midterm期中考試 elections選舉
in the United聯合的 States狀態 of America美國.
240
728042
3476
最近,美國期中選舉剛舉行。
12:23
And what did we see?
241
731542
1601
我們看見了什麼?
12:25
We saw that so many許多 more women婦女,
242
733167
2559
我們看到有更多更多的女性、
12:27
young年輕 people, people of color顏色, LGBTLGBT folks鄉親,
243
735750
3101
年輕人、有色人種、LGBT 族群,
12:30
were all elected當選 to public上市 office辦公室.
244
738875
1934
都選上了公職。
12:32
And we know this happened發生 -- why?
245
740833
1935
我們知道這發生了——為什麼?
12:34
Because so many許多 women婦女 were on the march遊行.
246
742792
2892
因為有好多女性去遊行。
12:37
We had the Women's女士的 March遊行
in the United聯合的 States狀態.
247
745708
2601
在美國,我們有女性遊行。
12:40
They had the Women's女士的 Marches遊行
all over the world世界.
248
748333
2351
在全世界都有女性遊行。
12:42
And so we now see
that we have this potential潛在.
249
750708
3601
現在我們可以看到,
我們有這種潛力。
12:46
We have this potential潛在
to get rid擺脫 of the apathy暮氣.
250
754333
2310
我們有潛力可以擺脫冷淡。
12:48
And if we get everyone大家 involved參與,
get everyone大家 committed提交,
251
756667
3684
如果我們能讓人人參與,
讓人人投入,
12:52
then, I think, we can make
Coretta科雷塔 Scott's斯科特的 vision視力 come true真正.
252
760375
3726
那麼,我想,我們就能
實現科麗塔史考特的遠景。
12:56
So, I want to just remind提醒 everybody每個人,
253
764125
2643
我只是想提醒大家,
12:58
throughout始終 the world世界,
one of the things is,
254
766792
2809
在全世界,很重要的事之一就是
13:01
we have power功率,
255

1768
我們有力量,
13:03
poor較差的 people have power功率,
256
771417
1642
窮人有力量,
13:05
every一切 citizen公民 has power功率.
257
773083
1726
每位公民都有力量。
13:06
But in order訂購 to achieve實現
the peace和平 that we all yearn嚮往 for,
258
774833
5101
但若要達成我們大家渴望的和平,
13:11
then we've我們已經 all got to get involved參與.
259
779958
1768
我們所有人都得要參與。
13:13
So, what do we say?
260
781750
2018
所以我們要說什麼?
我們能做到嗎?我們說:
「是的,我們能!」
13:15
Can we do it?
261
783792
1267
13:17
We say, "Yes, we can!"
262
785083
1310
13:18
And in Spanish西班牙語, we say, "Sí, seSE puedepuede."
263
