00:26
As someone who has spent his entire career trying to be invisible,
0
1000
4000
一個窮盡一生都盼望隱形於世的人
00:30
standing in front of an audience is a cross between
1
5000
3000
站到了觀眾面前，心情就好像靈魂出竅
00:33
an out-of-body experience and a deer caught in the headlights,
2
8000
3000
的時候恰好又見鬼。
00:36
so please forgive me for violating one of the TED commandments
3
11000
5000
所以請原諒我違反TED其中一條規定，
00:41
by relying on words on paper,
4
16000
2000
就是需要照著講稿演講，
00:43
and I only hope I'm not struck by lightning bolts before I'm done.
5
18000
4000
我只希望在我演講完成前不會被雷劈到。
00:47
I'd like to begin by talking about some of the ideas that motivated me
6
22000
5000
我想從那些能刺激到我想成為一名
00:52
to become a documentary photographer.
7
27000
2000
新聞攝影師的原因講起。
00:55
I was a student in the '60s, a time of social upheaval and questioning,
8
30000
5000
60年代的時候，我是一名學生。那是一個社會劇變和受到責疑的時代，
01:00
and on a personal level, an awakening sense of idealism.
9
35000
4000
而對於個人來說，這正是理想主義萌芽的時候。
01:04
The war in Vietnam was raging;
10
39000
3000
越南戰爭正激烈地進行著，
01:07
the Civil Rights Movement was under way;
11
42000
2000
人權運動正蓄勢待發，
01:09
and pictures had a powerful influence on me.
12
44000
3000
所以照片對我有著很大的影響。
01:12
Our political and military leaders were telling us one thing,
13
47000
3000
我們的政治和軍事的首領告訴我們的是一回事，
01:15
and photographers were telling us another.
14
50000
3000
和照片告訴我們的又是另一回事。
01:18
I believed the photographers, and so did millions of other Americans.
15
53000
5000
我選擇相信照片，千千萬萬的美國人也是如此。
01:23
Their images fueled resistance to the war and to racism.
16
58000
4000
他們的照片刺激了人們反對戰爭和種族主義。
01:27
They not only recorded history; they helped change the course of history.
17
62000
5000
他們不僅紀錄歷史，他們也改變歷史。
01:32
Their pictures became part of our collective consciousness
18
67000
3000
他們的照片是我們對集體意識的部份感知，
01:35
and, as consciousness evolved into a shared sense of conscience,
19
70000
4000
同時，因為集體意識會影響人們的良知，
01:39
change became not only possible, but inevitable.
20
74000
4000
改變不僅是可能的，更是不可避免的。
01:43
I saw that the free flow of information represented by journalism,
21
78000
4000
我看到由媒體報導的消息，
01:47
specifically visual journalism, can bring into focus
22
82000
4000
特別是可視媒體，不管是政府政策的優點，還是不足，
01:51
both the benefits and the cost of political policies.
23
86000
4000
都能夠引起公眾的注意。
01:55
It can give credit to sound decision-making, adding momentum to success.
24
90000
5000
這可以給政府機會去宣傳他們做出的決定，增加成功的可能性。
02:00
In the face of poor political judgment or political inaction,
25
95000
5000
而面對不好的政治性的裁定或者政府行動的遲緩，
02:05
it becomes a kind of intervention, assessing the damage
26
100000
4000
這變成了一種調停的工具，評估損失，
02:09
and asking us to reassess our behavior.
27
104000
3000
並要求我們重新評估我們的行為。
02:12
It puts a human face on issues
28
107000
2000
這讓人們的面孔能出現在
02:14
which from afar can appear abstract
29
109000
3000
向來對廣大公眾的影響十分抽象，虛無，
02:17
or ideological or monumental in their global impact.
30
112000
3000
沒甚麼意義的的事情上。
02:20
What happens at ground level, far from the halls of power,
31
115000
5000
那些本來只有底層人民才發出的，遠離權力中心相距的吶喊，
02:25
happens to ordinary citizens one by one.
32
120000
3000
現在普通的市民也一個接一個地發出這些吶喊。
02:28
And I understood that documentary photography
33
123000
3000
於是我意識到新聞攝影
02:31
has the ability to interpret events from their point of view.
34
126000
4000
有從市民的角度說明事情的能力。
02:35
It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.
35
130000
4000
這讓那些從來沒有發言權的人有機會說出自己心聲。
02:39
And as a reaction, it stimulates public opinion
36
134000
4000
它的反應包括，鼓勵公眾表達自己的意見，
02:43
and gives impetus to public debate,
37
138000
2000
並給公眾討論以動力，
02:45
thereby preventing the interested parties
38
140000
2000
這樣，可以防止當事人隨心所欲地
02:47
from totally controlling the agenda, much as they would like to.
39
142000
4000
完全控制社會輿論。
02:51
Coming of age in those days made real
40
146000
3000
隨著時間推移，人們意識到信息傳播的
02:54
the concept that the free flow of information is absolutely vital
41
149000
3000
自由性對一个自由、有活力的社會
02:57
for a free and dynamic society to function properly.
42
152000
4000
的正常發展絕對是十分重要的。
03:01
The press is certainly a business, and in order to survive
43
156000
4000
出版社的確是一門生意，而且為了生存，
03:05
it must be a successful business,
44
160000
3000
它一定要是一門成功的生意，
03:08
but the right balance must be found
45
163000
2000
但一定要在市場利益和新聞責任之間
03:10
between marketing considerations and journalistic responsibility.
46
165000
4000
找到正確的平衡。
03:14
Society's problems can't be solved until they're identified.
47
169000
5000
除非社會問題的存在性得到承認，否則無法解決。
03:19
On a higher plane, the press is a service industry,
48
174000
4000
從一個更高的層次說，出版社是一個服務行業，
03:23
and the service it provides is awareness.
49
178000
3000
它提供對事件的全面認知。
03:26
Every story does not have to sell something.
50
181000
3000
不一定每個故事都有賣點。
03:29
There's also a time to give.
51
184000
3000
但時間是一定要的。
03:33
That was a tradition I wanted to follow.
52
188000
3000
那是我想要追隨的傳統。
03:36
Seeing the war created such incredibly high stakes for everyone involved
53
191000
4000
看到戰爭讓每個人都承受難以想像的高風險，
03:40
and that visual journalism could actually become a factor in conflict resolution --
54
195000
5000
而新聞媒體又成為衝突解決中的一部分，
03:45
I wanted to be a photographer in order to be a war photographer.
55
200000
4000
我想要成為一名攝影師，而且是一名戰地攝影師。
03:49
But I was driven by an inherent sense
56
204000
3000
但是，我被大眾的觀點所影響，
03:52
that a picture that revealed the true face of war
57
207000
3000
就是揭示戰爭真面目的照片
03:55
would almost by definition be an anti-war photograph.
58
210000
4000
幾乎都會被定義為反戰的照片。
04:00
I'd like to take you on a visual journey through some of the events
59
215000
3000
我想讓你們看一個圖片故事，講的是
04:03
and issues I've been involved in over the past 25 years.
60
218000
4000
這25年來我經歷、遇到過的事件和問題。
04:08
In 1981, I went to Northern Ireland.
61
223000
3000
1981年，我去了北愛爾蘭。
04:11
10 IRA prisoners were in the process of starving themselves to death
62
226000
4000
10個愛爾蘭囚犯絕食以表達
04:15
in protest against conditions in jail.
63
230000
3000
對監獄裡面的生活條件的不滿。
04:18
The reaction on the streets was violent confrontation.
64
233000
3000
這事件到了社會上，使公眾在街上發生暴力衝突。
04:21
I saw that the front lines of contemporary wars
65
236000
4000
我看到當時戰爭的前線不是在
04:25
are not on isolated battlefields, but right where people live.
66
240000
4000
開闊、荒蕪的戰場，而是正正在居民區中間。
04:30
During the early '80s, I spent a lot of time in Central America,
67
245000
4000
在80年代早期，很多時候我都在中美洲。
04:34
which was engulfed by civil wars
68
249000
2000
那裡曾被內戰吞噬，
04:36
that straddled the ideological divide of the Cold War.
69
251000
3000
又因為冷戰時代那意識形態問題而分裂。
04:39
In Guatemala, the central government --
70
254000
3000
在危地馬拉，受歐洲政治巨頭控制的
04:42
controlled by a oligarchy of European decent --
71
257000
3000
中央政府正發動一場焦土運動
04:45
was waging a scorched Earth campaign against an indigenous rebellion,
72
260000
4000
來對抗當地的叛軍，
04:49
and I saw an image that reflected the history of Latin America:
73
264000
3000
而我看到一個可以反應拉丁美洲這歷史的圖像：
04:52
conquest through a combination of the Bible and the sword.
74
267000
4000
一場通過聖經和武器取得的勝利。
04:56
An anti-Sandinista guerrilla was mortally wounded
75
271000
4000
一支反桑地諾的游擊隊受到沈重的打擊。
05:00
as Commander Zero attacked a town in Southern Nicaragua.
76
275000
4000
因為Zero指揮官在南尼加拉瓜的一個小鎮被襲擊。
05:06
A destroyed tank belonging to Somoza's national guard
77
281000
3000
一輛屬於薩莫查的國際護衛隊的被摧毀的坦克
05:09
was left as a monument in a park in Managua,
78
284000
4000
被作為一個紀念碑放在馬拉瓜的一個公園里，
05:13
and was transformed by the energy and spirit of a child.
79
288000
4000
並因為一個小孩的天真和好奇而變成了他的玩伴。
05:17
At the same time, a civil war was taking place in El Salvador,
80
292000
4000
與此同時，薩爾瓦多發生了內戰，
05:21
and again, the civilian population was caught up in the conflict.
81
296000
4000
並再一次，越來越多的城市居民捲入衝突中。
05:26
I've been covering the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 1981.
82
301000
5000
我從1981年開始就負責拍攝巴以衝突。
05:31
This is a moment from the beginning of the second intifada, in 2000,
83
306000
4000
這是2000年，第二次騷亂的開始的一瞬間。
05:35
when it was still stones and Molotovs against an army.
84
310000
3000
那時候它仍然是用石頭和Molotovs來攻擊軍隊。
05:41
In 2001, the uprising escalated into an armed conflict,
85
316000
3000
到了2001年，騷亂逐漸升級為武裝衝突，
05:44
and one of the major incidents was
86
319000
2000
而其中一個很重要的事件是
05:46
the destruction of the Palestinian refugee camp
87
321000
3000
巴勒斯坦在約旦河西岸的傑寧小鎮上的
05:49
in the West Bank town of Jenin.
88
324000
3000
貧民區營地被毀。
05:53
Without the political will to find common ground,
89
328000
4000
由於沒有政治力量尋找雙方共同的立場，
05:57
the continual friction of tactic and counter-tactic
90
332000
3000
外加持續不斷的在政策上的摩擦和敵對的策略
06:00
only creates suspicion and hatred and vengeance,
91
335000
3000
只能產生猜疑、憎恨和復仇，
06:03
and perpetuates the cycle of violence.
92
338000
3000
並維持了這個暴力的循環。
06:08
In the '90s, after the breakup of the Soviet Union,
93
343000
3000
在90年代，蘇聯解體之後，
06:11
Yugoslavia fractured along ethnic fault lines, and civil war broke out
94
346000
5000
南斯拉夫因為種族問題分裂，同時在波斯尼亞、
06:16
between Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.
95
351000
2000
克羅地亞和塞爾維亞之間爆發內戰。
06:18
This is a scene of house-to-house fighting in Mostar,
96
353000
4000
這是在莫斯塔鄰里之間反目成仇，
06:22
neighbor against neighbor.
97
357000
2000
人們互相打鬥的場面。
06:24
A bedroom, the place where people share intimacy,
98
359000
3000
睡房，一個人們分享私密的地方，
06:27
where life itself is conceived, became a battlefield.
99
362000
4000
一個生命醞釀、沈思的地方，成為了一個戰場。
06:31
A mosque in northern Bosnia was destroyed by Serbian artillery
100
366000
7000
在北波斯尼亞的一座清真寺北塞爾維亞的炮火摧毀，
06:38
and was used as a makeshift morgue.
101
373000
2000
並被用作臨時的停屍房。
06:47
Dead Serbian soldiers were collected after a battle
102
382000
3000
死亡的塞爾維亞士兵在一場戰役完後被收集起來，
06:50
and used as barter for the return of prisoners
103
385000
3000
用作波斯尼亞囚犯或者行動中
06:53
or Bosnian soldiers killed in action.
104
388000
2000
被殺的士兵的交換籌碼。
06:57
This was once a park.
105
392000
2000
這曾經是一個公園。
06:59
The Bosnian soldier who guided me
106
394000
2000
一個作為我導遊的波斯尼亞士兵
07:01
told me that all of his friends were there now.
107
396000
3000
告訴我現在他的所有朋友都被埋在那裡了。
07:05
At the same time in South Africa,
108
400000
2000
與此同時在南非，
07:07
after Nelson Mandela had been released from prison,
109
402000
3000
尼爾遜 曼德拉從監獄被釋放之後，
07:10
the black population commenced the final phase
110
405000
3000
黑人開始了從種族歧視中
07:13
of liberation from apartheid.
111
408000
2000
爭取自由的最後一步。
07:16
One of the things I had to learn as a journalist
112
411000
3000
其中一樣作為記者我必須要學習的
07:19
was what to do with my anger.
113
414000
2000
就是怎樣控制我的憤怒。
07:21
I had to use it, channel its energy, turn it into something
114
416000
5000
我必須運用它，用它的能量，將它轉化成一些能
07:26
that would clarify my vision, instead of clouding it.
115
421000
3000
清晰我的視線，而不是模糊它的東西
07:30
In Transkei, I witnessed a rite of passage into manhood, of the Xhosa tribe.
116
425000
5000
在特蘭斯凱，我目睹了科薩人成人禮的儀式。
07:35
Teenage boys lived in isolation, their bodies covered with white clay.
117
430000
4000
未成年男孩們被隔離，身上塗滿白黏土。
07:40
After several weeks, they washed off the white
118
435000
2000
幾個星期之後，他們把白黏土洗掉
07:42
and took on the full responsibilities of men.
119
437000
3000
並肩負起男人的全部責任。
07:45
It was a very old ritual that seemed symbolic
120
440000
3000
這是一個很古老的儀式，這儀式像是象徵著
07:48
of the political struggle that was changing the face of South Africa.
121
443000
5000
正在改變南非面貌的政治鬥爭。
07:55
Children in Soweto playing on a trampoline.
122
450000
4000
在索韋托的孩子在玩蹦床。
08:02
Elsewhere in Africa there was famine.
123
457000
3000
而在非洲的其它地方正鬧飢荒。
08:05
In Somalia, the central government collapsed and clan warfare broke out.
124
460000
4000
在索馬里，中央政府瓦解，部落之間的衝突爆發。
08:10
Farmers were driven off their land,
125
465000
2000
農民從自己的土地上被趕了出去，
08:12
and crops and livestock were destroyed or stolen.
126
467000
4000
穀物和牲畜被破壞或者偷走。
08:16
Starvation was being used as a weapon of mass destruction --
127
471000
4000
飢餓被用作大規模破壞的武器，
08:20
primitive but extremely effective.
128
475000
2000
原始但十分有效。
08:22
Hundreds of thousands of people were exterminated,
129
477000
3000
成千上萬的人痛苦地、
08:25
slowly and painfully.
130
480000
2000
慢慢逐漸被屠殺掉。
08:29
The international community responded with massive humanitarian relief,
131
484000
4000
國際團體憑藉著強大的人道主義信念作出行動，
08:33
and hundreds of thousands of more lives were saved.
132
488000
4000
拯救了千千萬萬條生命。
08:37
American troops were sent to protect the relief shipments,
133
492000
3000
美國軍隊被派去保護送出的物資，
08:40
but they were eventually drawn into the conflict,
134
495000
3000
但是他們最終也陷進衝突之中，
08:43
and after the tragic battle in Mogadishu, they were withdrawn.
135
498000
3000
在摩加迪沙那慘烈的戰役後，他們被調回美國。
08:47
In southern Sudan, another civil war saw similar use of starvation
136
502000
4000
在蘇丹南部，另一場內戰也運用飢餓作為
08:51
as a means of genocide.
137
506000
2000
種族大屠殺的一種策略。
08:54
Again, international NGOs, united under the umbrella of the U.N.,
138
509000
4000
國際民間團體在聯合國的保護之下再一次
08:58
staged a massive relief operation and thousands of lives were saved.
139
513000
5000
發放了數量巨大的物資，並拯救了成千條生命。
09:04
I'm a witness, and I want my testimony to be honest and uncensored.
140
519000
6000
我是一個目擊者，我希望我的陳述是真實和無約束的。
09:11
I also want it to be powerful and eloquent,
141
526000
3000
我也希望它是有力的和觸動心弦的，
09:14
and to do as much justice as possible
142
529000
2000
能夠發揮它最大的作用，為我正在拍攝的
09:16
to the experience of the people I'm photographing.
143
531000
3000
這些人所經歷的事情討回一個公道。
09:19
This man was in an NGO feeding center,
144
534000
3000
這人正在一個民間組織的庇護中心裡面，
09:22
being helped as much as he could be helped.
145
537000
2000
他會得到他能得到的最大幫助。
09:24
He literally had nothing. He was a virtual skeleton,
146
539000
5000
他準確地說甚麼都不是。他只是一架骨頭，
09:29
yet he could still summon the courage and the will to move.
147
544000
4000
但是他仍然擁有勇氣和意願去前進。
09:33
He had not given up, and if he didn't give up,
148
548000
3000
他沒有放棄，如果他沒有放棄，
09:36
how could anyone in the outside world ever dream of losing hope?
149
551000
5000
那麼任何在外面世界生活的人又怎麼可以想著失去希望？
09:42
In 1994, after three months of covering the South African election,
150
557000
5000
1994年南非選舉的3個月後，
09:47
I saw the inauguration of Nelson Mandela,
151
562000
3000
我看到尼爾遜 曼德拉的就職典禮，
09:50
and it was the most uplifting thing I've ever seen.
152
565000
3000
這是我見過的最振奮人心的事情。
09:53
It exemplified the best that humanity has to offer.
153
568000
4000
這證明了人道主義會帶來的最好的勝利。
09:57
The next day I left for Rwanda,
154
572000
3000
第二天，我離開前往盧旺達，
10:00
and it was like taking the express elevator to hell.
155
575000
3000
而這就像是搭上了去地獄的特快電梯。
10:03
This man had just been liberated from a Hutu death camp.
156
578000
4000
這人剛剛從胡圖人死亡營裡面被放出來。
10:07
He allowed me to photograph him for quite a long time,
157
582000
4000
他讓我拍他拍了很長時間，
10:11
and he even turned his face toward the light,
158
586000
3000
最後他甚至把他的臉轉向鏡頭，
10:14
as if he wanted me to see him better.
159
589000
2000
就好像他想我看他看的更清楚。
10:17
I think he knew what the scars on his face would say to the rest of the world.
160
592000
4000
我想他明白他臉上的傷疤會告訴世界上其他人甚麼。
10:22
This time, maybe confused or discouraged
161
597000
3000
那時候，也許是被索馬里的戰爭災難
10:25
by the military disaster in Somalia,
162
600000
3000
弄混亂了或者感到氣餒了，
10:28
the international community remained silent,
163
603000
3000
國際組織不見蹤影，
10:31
and somewhere around 800,000 people were slaughtered
164
606000
3000
與此同時的某個地方，800，000人
10:34
by their own countrymen -- sometimes their own neighbors --
165
609000
3000
被他們自己社區里的人，
10:37
using farm implements as weapons.
166
612000
3000
有時甚至是他們的鄰居，用農耕工具屠殺掉了。
10:41
Perhaps because a lesson had been learned
167
616000
3000
也許是因為他們從波斯尼亞戰爭的
10:44
by the weak response to the war in Bosnia
168
619000
2000
弱小的反應和盧旺達的失敗
10:46
and the failure in Rwanda,
169
621000
2000
的中吸取了教訓，
10:48
when Serbia attacked Kosovo,
170
623000
2000
當塞爾維亞襲擊科索沃的時候
10:50
international action was taken much more decisively.
171
625000
4000
國際力量更果斷地參與到其中。
10:54
NATO forces went in, and the Serbian army withdrew.
172
629000
4000
北大西洋公約組織參加戰鬥，不久，塞爾維亞軍隊撤退。
10:58
Ethnic Albanians had been murdered,
173
633000
3000
阿爾巴尼亞人被屠殺，
11:01
their farms destroyed and a huge number of people forcibly deported.
174
636000
4000
他們的農田被毀，大量的人被迫離開他們的家園。
11:06
They were received in refugee camps
175
641000
3000
他們被阿爾巴尼亞和馬其頓的
11:09
set up by NGOs in Albania and Macedonia.
176
644000
3000
民間組織設立的難民營接收。
11:14
The imprint of a man who had been burned inside his own home.
177
649000
3000
這紀錄了一個男人在他自己的家裡面被燒死的場景。
11:18
The image reminded me of a cave painting,
178
653000
3000
這圖片讓我記起洞穴上的壁畫，
11:21
and echoed how primitive we still are in so many ways.
179
656000
4000
並不停地提醒我們在很多方面仍是多麼的原始落後。
11:27
Between 1995 and '96, I covered the first two wars
180
662000
4000
95和96年間，我在格羅茲尼裡面跟蹤拍攝了
11:31
in Chechnya from inside Grozny.
181
666000
2000
車臣共和國最開始的兩場戰爭。
11:33
This is a Chechen rebel on the front line against the Russian army.
182
668000
4000
這是車臣叛軍在前線與俄羅斯軍隊對峙。
11:39
The Russians bombarded Grozny constantly for weeks,
183
674000
4000
俄羅斯連續轟炸了格羅茲尼幾個星期，
11:43
killing mainly the civilians who were still trapped inside.
184
678000
3000
炸死的主要是被困在裡面的居民。
11:48
I found a boy from the local orphanage
185
683000
2000
我發現一個來自當地孤兒院的男孩
11:50
wandering around the front line.
186
685000
2000
在前線附近徘徊。
11:54
My work has evolved from being concerned mainly with war
187
689000
3000
我的工作主要輿戰爭有關，
11:57
to a focus on critical social issues as well.
188
692000
4000
但也會關注受爭議的社會事件。
12:02
After the fall of Ceausescu, I went to Romania
189
697000
2000
齊奧塞斯庫政權下台之後，我去了羅馬尼亞
12:04
and discovered a kind of gulag of children,
190
699000
4000
並發現了一類兒童的勞改營。
12:08
where thousands of orphans were being kept in medieval conditions.
191
703000
3000
在那裡，上千的孤兒猶如生活在中世紀。
12:12
Ceausescu had imposed a quota
192
707000
2000
齊奧塞斯庫強制要求每個家庭
12:14
on the number of children to be produced by each family,
193
709000
3000
出生的小孩數目都要達到配額。
12:17
thereby making women's bodies an instrument of state economic policy.
194
712000
4000
這樣使得女人們的身體成為國家經濟政策的一個工具。
12:22
Children who couldn't be supported by their families
195
717000
3000
小孩不由他們的家庭撫養，
12:25
were raised in government orphanages.
196
720000
3000
而是交由政府孤兒院。
12:28
Children with birth defects were labeled incurables,
197
723000
3000
有天生缺陷的小孩被標上廢物的標簽，
12:31
and confined for life to inhuman conditions.
198
726000
4000
這保證了他們一輩子都能得到非人的待遇。
12:35
As reports began to surface, again international aid went in.
199
730000
4000
由於這些情況被公諸於世，國際援助也出手幫忙了。
12:41
Going deeper into the legacy of the Eastern European regimes,
200
736000
4000
為了更深入地了解東歐遺留下來的政權，
12:45
I worked for several months on a story about the effects of industrial pollution,
201
740000
4000
我用了幾個月的時間跟蹤一個和工業污染的影響有關的故事。
12:49
where there had been no regard for the environment
202
744000
3000
那裡一點都不重視環境
12:52
or the health of either workers or the general population.
203
747000
4000
或者工人、大眾的健康。
12:56
An aluminum factory in Czechoslovakia
204
751000
3000
捷克的一間制鋁工廠
12:59
was filled with carcinogenic smoke and dust,
205
754000
3000
裡面滿是致癌的煙塵，
13:02
and four out of five workers came down with cancer.
206
757000
4000
5個工人裡面有4個都會得癌症。
13:08
After the fall of Suharto in Indonesia,
207
763000
2000
蘇哈托政權在印尼下台後，
13:10
I began to explore conditions of poverty
208
765000
3000
我開始去了解一個正走向現代化的
13:13
in a country that was on its way towards modernization.
209
768000
3000
國家的貧窮的狀況。
13:16
I spent a good deal of time with a man
210
771000
3000
我和一個男人聊了很久，
13:19
who lived with his family on a railway embankment
211
774000
2000
他在火車事故中失去了一個胳膊和一條腿，
13:21
and had lost an arm and a leg in a train accident.
212
776000
4000
現在和他的家人在鐵路旁居住。
13:25
When the story was published, unsolicited donations poured in.
213
780000
5000
當這個故事被報導之後，自願的捐贈源源不斷地送來。
13:30
A trust fund was established,
214
785000
2000
並建立了一個信用基金，
13:32
and the family now lives in a house in the countryside
215
787000
3000
現在這個家庭住在鄉村的一所房子里，
13:35
and all their basic necessities are taken care of.
216
790000
3000
他們的基本需要都得到保證。
13:38
It was a story that wasn't trying to sell anything.
217
793000
3000
說這個故事並不是要說明甚麼。
13:41
Journalism had provided a channel
218
796000
3000
新聞本來就要提供一個讓人們展現他們的
13:44
for people's natural sense of generosity, and the readers responded.
219
799000
4000
慷慨大方並促使讀者有所反應的渠道，
13:50
I met a band of homeless children who'd come to Jakarta from the countryside,
220
805000
3000
我曾遇到過一批無家可歸的小孩，他們來自雅加達的郊外，
13:53
and ended up living in a train station.
221
808000
3000
最後他們只能住在火車站。
13:56
By the age of 12 or 14, they'd become beggars and drug addicts.
222
811000
5000
他們只是12到14歲，最終都變成乞丐和吸毒者。
14:01
The rural poor had become the urban poor,
223
816000
2000
鄉下的窮人變成了城市里的窮人，
14:03
and in the process, they'd become invisible.
224
818000
4000
在這變化過程中，他們變得透明、不起眼。
14:09
These heroin addicts in detox in Pakistan
225
824000
3000
這些在巴基斯坦的戒毒所
14:12
reminded me of figures in a play by Beckett:
226
827000
3000
讓我想起貝克特的一部話劇裡面的角色：
14:15
isolated, waiting in the dark, but drawn to the light.
227
830000
3000
孤獨，在黑暗中等待，但是畫出來的都是光明。
14:22
Agent Orange was a defoliant used during the Vietnam War
228
837000
4000
橙劑是越南戰爭中使用的一種落葉劑。
14:26
to deny cover to the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese army.
229
841000
4000
為的是去除越共和北越軍隊的掩護。
14:30
The active ingredient was dioxin, an extremely toxic chemical
230
845000
4000
橙劑的有效成份是二噁英，一種毒性十分大的化學物質。
14:34
that was sprayed in vast quantities,
231
849000
2000
橙劑在當時被大量噴射，
14:36
and whose effects passed through the genes to the next generation.
232
851000
4000
而且二噁英的毒性通過遺傳影響到了下一代。
14:42
In 2000, I began documenting global health issues,
233
857000
3000
在2000，我開始了解全球衛生健康事業，
14:45
concentrating first on AIDS in Africa.
234
860000
3000
首先關注的是非洲的愛滋病。
14:48
I tried to tell the story through the work of caregivers.
235
863000
3000
我嘗試通過護理者的工作講故事。
14:51
I thought it was important to emphasize that people were being helped,
236
866000
4000
我想無論是國際人道組織還是當地人自發的組織，
14:55
whether by international NGOs or by local grassroots organizations.
237
870000
5000
強調人們正受到幫助是很重要的。
15:00
So many children have been orphaned by the epidemic
238
875000
2000
很多小孩因為雙親感染傳染病，變成孤兒，
15:02
that grandmothers have taken the place of parents,
239
877000
3000
不得不由他們的祖父母代為照養。
15:05
and a lot of children had been born with HIV.
240
880000
3000
很多小孩一出生就帶有HIV病毒。
15:09
A hospital in Zambia.
241
884000
2000
這是一家在贊比亞的醫院。
15:14
I began documenting the close connection
242
889000
3000
我開始調查肺結核輿HIV/AIDS...
15:17
between HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
243
892000
3000
之間的緊密聯繫。
15:20
This is an MSF hospital in Cambodia.
244
895000
3000
這是一家在柬埔寨的無國界醫生醫院。
15:28
My pictures can play a supporting role to the work of NGOs
245
903000
3000
我的照片通過反映他們正努力解決的有爭議的社會問題，
15:31
by shedding light on the critical social problems they're trying to deal with.
246
906000
4000
扮演了一個人道組織的支持者的角色。
15:35
I went to Congo with MSF,
247
910000
3000
我和無國界醫生一起去剛果，
15:38
and contributed to a book and an exhibition
248
913000
2000
為一本書和一場展覽做了一些工作。
15:40
that focused attention on a forgotten war
249
915000
3000
書和展覽都是關注一場已經被人們忘記而
15:43
in which millions of people have died,
250
918000
2000
實際上讓上百萬人死亡的戰爭。
15:45
and exposure to disease without treatment is used as a weapon.
251
920000
4000
並向人們展示在這場戰爭中無藥可治的病症被用作武器的暴行。
15:50
A malnourished child being measured
252
925000
2000
這是一個營養不良的小孩。他被列作
15:52
as part of the supplemental feeding program.
253
927000
2000
物資補給計劃中的一部分。
15:56
In the fall of 2004 I went to Darfur.
254
931000
3000
在2004年秋天，我去了達爾富爾。
16:00
This time I was on assignment for a magazine,
255
935000
2000
那時候我受雇於一家雜誌社，
16:02
but again worked closely with MSF.
256
937000
2000
但和無國界醫生走得很近。
16:04
The international community still hasn't found a way
257
939000
3000
國際組織仍然沒有找到
16:07
to create the pressure necessary to stop this genocide.
258
942000
4000
能有效阻止大屠殺的方法。
16:13
An MSF hospital in a camp for displaced people.
259
948000
3000
這是一家設在難民營的無國界醫生醫院。
16:18
I've been working on a long project on crime and punishment in America.
260
953000
4000
我曾經跟蹤過一個有關美國犯罪輿懲罰的長期計劃。
16:23
This is a scene from New Orleans.
261
958000
2000
這是一個來自新奧爾良的場景。
16:27
A prisoner on a chain gang in Alabama
262
962000
3000
一個阿拉巴馬的黑手黨囚犯
16:30
was punished by being handcuffed to a post in the midday sun.
263
965000
3000
被罰在雙手反扣站在中午的太陽下。
16:36
This experience raised a lot of questions,
264
971000
2000
這做法引發了很多問題。
16:38
among them questions about race and equality
265
973000
3000
問題大多關於種族輿平等，
16:41
and for whom in our country opportunities and options are available.
266
976000
5000
還有到底誰才在我們國家有機會和選擇權。
16:46
In the yard of a chain gang in Alabama.
267
981000
3000
在阿拉巴馬黑手黨的管轄範圍內
16:52
I didn't see either of the planes hit,
268
987000
2000
我沒有看到過有任何飛機撞擊等事件發生。
16:54
and when I glanced out my window, I saw the first tower burning,
269
989000
3000
當我朝我的窗外看去，我看到一座大樓著火，
16:57
and I thought it might have been an accident.
270
992000
3000
我想那只是一個意外。
17:00
A few minutes later when I looked again
271
995000
2000
過了幾分鐘，我再看出去，
17:02
and saw the second tower burning, I knew we were at war.
272
997000
4000
看到另外一座大樓也著火了，我知道，我們受到攻擊了。
17:07
In the midst of the wreckage at Ground Zero, I had a realization.
273
1002000
3000
站在歸零地的殘骸中間，我想明白了。
17:11
I'd been photographing in the Islamic world since 1981 --
274
1006000
4000
我從1981年開始拍攝伊斯蘭世界，
17:15
not only in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia and Europe.
275
1010000
5000
不只是中東，更有非洲、亞洲和歐洲。
17:20
At the time I was photographing in these different places,
276
1015000
3000
那時候我在不同地方拍攝，
17:23
I thought I was covering separate stories,
277
1018000
2000
我想我一直在講述各個獨立的故事。
17:25
but on 9/11 history crystallized, and I understood
278
1020000
3000
但回望911歷史，我明白
17:28
I'd actually been covering a single story for more than 20 years,
279
1023000
5000
我其實是一直在講一個長達20多年的故事，
17:33
and the attack on New York was its latest manifestation.
280
1028000
3000
而紐約的襲擊是它最新的表現形式。
17:37

17:58
I'd witnessed immense suffering in the Islamic world
287
1053000
3000
我曾目睹伊斯蘭世界因為政治壓迫，內戰，外國入侵，
18:01
from political oppression, civil war, foreign invasions, poverty, famine.
288
1056000

貧窮，飢餓而忍受的巨大痛苦。
18:06
I understood that in its suffering,
289
1061000
2000
我知道伊斯蘭世界在它忍受的過程中曾經吶喊過，
18:08
the Islamic world had been crying out. Why weren't we listening?
290
1063000
5000
但是，為甚麼我們充耳不聞？
18:16
A Taliban fighter shot during a battle
291
1071000
2000
這是因為北約進入昆都士，
18:18
as the Northern Alliance entered the city of Kunduz.
292
1073000
4000
一個塔利班戰士中槍的場景。
18:28
When war with Iraq was imminent,
293
1083000
2000
當伊拉克戰爭鄰近，
18:30
I realized the American troops would be very well covered,
294
1085000
3000
我知道美國軍隊會掩蓋的很好，
18:33
so I decided to cover the invasion from inside Baghdad.
295
1088000
3000
所以我決定從巴格達內部去拍攝這次入侵。
18:42
A marketplace was hit by a mortar shell
296
1097000
2000
這是一個受到迫擊砲襲擊的市場，
18:44
that killed several members of a single family.
297
1099000
3000
這次襲擊殺死了一個家庭裡面的幾個成員。
18:49
A day after American forces entered Baghdad,
298
1104000
3000
美國軍隊進入巴格達一天之後，
18:52
a company of Marines began rounding up bank robbers
299
1107000
2000
海軍的一支連隊開始追捕銀行搶劫犯，
18:54
and were cheered on by the crowds --
300
1109000
2000
民眾歡呼雀躍，
18:57
a hopeful moment that was short lived.
301
1112000
2000
這是一個短暫存在的充滿希望的時刻。
19:01
For the first time in years,
302
1116000
2000
多年來第一次，
19:03
Shi'ites were allowed to make the pilgrimage
303
1118000
2000
什葉派被允許到卡爾巴拉
19:05
to Karbala to observe Ashura,
304
1120000
2000
進行朝聖，並供奉阿修羅（死神）。
19:07
and I was amazed by the sheer number of people
305
1122000
3000
我被他們的人數所震驚，
19:10
and how fervently they practiced their religion.
306
1125000
2000
他們對他們的宗教是如此的虔誠。
19:15
A group of men march through the streets cutting themselves with knives.
307
1130000
3000
幾個男人踏著步，一邊穿過街道，一邊用刀子割自己。
19:18
It was obvious that the Shi'ites were a force to be reckoned with,
308
1133000
4000
很明顯，什葉派被看作一種武裝力量，
19:22
and we would do well to understand them and learn how to deal with them.
309
1137000
5000
而我們應該學會去理解他們並和他們打好交道。
19:29
Last year I spent several months documenting our wounded troops,
310
1144000
4000
去年，我花了幾個月的時間跟蹤拍攝
19:33
from the battlefield in Iraq all the way home.
311
1148000
2000
我們受傷後，從伊拉克戰場回家的軍隊。
19:37
This is a helicopter medic giving CPR
312

2000
在戰爭中頭部中槍的士兵做心肺復蘇。
19:44
Military medicine has become so efficient
314
1159000
2000
軍隊藥物的有效性大大提高，
19:46
that the percentage of troops who survive after being wounded
315
1161000
4000
所以在這場戰爭中受傷並存活下來的士兵
19:50
is much higher in this war than in any other war in our history.
316
1165000
3000
比以往任何一場戰爭都要多。
19:55
The signature weapon of the war is the IED,
317
1170000
3000
最具代表性的武器是簡易爆炸裝置，
19:58
and the signature wound is severe leg damage.
318
1173000
3000
最具代表性的傷口是嚴重的腿部損傷。
20:03
After enduring extreme pain and trauma,
319
1178000
3000
忍受巨大的痛楚和傷害後，
20:06
the wounded face a grueling physical
320
1181000
2000
傷口在醫護室面臨一場將令
20:08
and psychological struggle in rehab.
321
1183000
2000
身心受創的掙扎。
20:13
The spirit they displayed was absolutely remarkable.
322
1188000
3000
他們表現出來的精神絕對是非同一般的。
20:17
I tried to imagine myself in their place,
323
1192000
2000
我嘗試想像我遭遇他們這種狀況的時候，
20:19
and I was totally humbled by their courage and determination
324
1194000
4000
結果我完全被他們面臨如此災難性的
20:23
in the face of such catastrophic loss.
325
1198000
3000
損失時候的勇氣和決心所征服。
20:27
Good people had been put in a very bad situation for questionable results.
326
1202000
5000
不經歷風雨，怎能見彩虹。
20:35
One day in rehab someone, started talking about surfing
327
1210000
3000
一天，在醫護室，某個人開始聊起衝浪，
20:38
and all these guys who'd never surfed before said, "Hey, let's go."
328
1213000
4000
然後所有那些從未沖過浪的人說：“嘿，我們衝浪去吧。”
20:42
And they went surfing.
329
1217000
2000
然後他們衝浪去了。
20:48
Photographers go to the extreme edges of human experience
330
1223000
3000
攝影師拍攝一些極端的人類的生活經歷，
20:51
to show people what's going on.
331
1226000
2000
為的是告訴人們現在正在發生甚麼事。
20:53
Sometimes they put their lives on the line,
332
1228000
3000
有時候他們甚至會把命都搭上了，
20:56
because they believe your opinions and your influence matter.
333
1231000
4000
因為他們相信你們的觀點和你們的影響力。
21:00
They aim their pictures at your best instincts,
334
1235000
4000
他們通過照片激發你們最美好的天性。
21:04
generosity, a sense of right and wrong,
335
1239000
3000
慷慨、分辨是非的能力、
21:07
the ability and the willingness to identify with others,
336
1242000
4000
平等待人的願望和能力，
21:11
the refusal to accept the unacceptable.
337
1246000
3000
對那些不能接受的事情的拒絕。
21:16
My TED wish:
338
1251000
2000
我上TED的願望：
21:18
there's a vital story that needs to be told,
339
1253000
3000
有一個生死攸關的故事需要講述，
21:21
and I wish for TED to help me gain access to it
340
1256000
4000
我希望TED能幫助我讓這個故事公諸於眾，
21:25
and then to help me come up with innovative and exciting ways
341
1260000
4000
並幫助我想一些在數字時代運用新攝影技術
21:29
to use news photography in the digital era.
342
1264000
3000
的革新的，有活力的方法。
21:32
Thank you very much.
343
1267000
2000
非常感謝。

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
James Nachtwey - PhotojournalistPhotojournalist James Nachtwey is considered by many to be the greatest war photographer of recent decades. He has covered conflicts and major social issues in more than 30 countries.
Why you should listen
For the past three decades, James Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues, working in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.
Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time since 1984. However, when certain stories he wanted to cover -- such as Romanian orphanages and famine in Somalia -- garnered no interest from magazines, he self-financed trips there. He is known for getting up close to his subjects, or as he says, "in the same intimate space that the subjects inhabit," and he passes that sense of closeness on to the viewer.
In putting himself in the middle of conflict, his intention is to record the truth, to document the struggles of humanity, and with this, to wake people up and stir them to action.
