8000
3000
這是我領導的活動名稱：SING 活動。
00:27
In November of 2003,
4
12000
2000
2003年11月
00:29
I was invited to take part
5
14000
2000
我受邀參加
00:31
in the launch of Nelson Mandela's
6
16000
2000
曼德拉46664基金會的
00:33
46664 Foundation --
7
18000
3000
創會活動。
00:36
that is his HIV/AIDS foundation.
8
21000
2000
這是一個愛滋病防治基金會。
00:38
And 46664 is the number
9
23000
2000
46664是當時
00:40
that Mandela had when he was imprisoned in Robben Island.
10
25000
3000
曼德拉在羅本島被關的編號。
00:44
And that's me with Youssou N'Dour,
11
29000
2000
照片中是我和Youssou N'Dour 在舞臺上
00:46
onstage, having the time of my life.
12
31000
3000
這是我生命中最美好的時光之一
00:51
The next day, all the artists were invited
13
36000
2000
隔天，所有的表演者都受邀
00:53
to join Mandela in Robben Island,
14
38000
3000
在羅本島和曼德拉見面
00:56
where he was going to give a conference
15
41000
2000
曼德拉要在那裏
00:58
to the world's press,
16
43000
3000
跟國際媒體開記者會
01:01
standing in front of his former prison cell.
17
46000
2000
地點就在他之前的牢房前。
01:03
You can see the bars of the window there.
18
48000
3000
你可以看到他窗戶前的鐵窗。
01:06
It was quite a momentous occasion for all of us.
19
51000
3000
這對大家來説都是重要的一刻。
01:09
In that moment in time,
20
54000
2000
就在這歷史的一刻
01:11
Mandela told the world's press
21
56000
3000
曼德拉告訴國際媒體說
01:14
that there was a virtual genocide
22
59000
2000
在他的國家裏
01:16
taking place in his country;
23
61000
2000
有一個集體的滅種屠殺正在發生
01:18
that post-apartheid
24
63000
2000
在這種族隔離浩劫後的
01:20
Rainbow Nation,
25
65000
2000
彩虹國度
01:22
a thousand people were dying on a daily basis
26
67000
3000
每天有一千人死去
01:25
and that the front line victims,
27
70000
2000
其中首當其衝的
01:27
the most vulnerable of all,
28
72000
2000
最脆弱的一群
01:29
were women and children.
29
74000
3000
是婦女和小孩。
01:32
This was a huge impact on my mind,
30
77000
3000
這在我心裏產生了相當大的衝擊
01:35
because I am a woman and I am a mother,
31
80000
3000
因爲，我既是個婦女，也是媽媽。
01:38
and I hadn't realized
32
83000
2000
我那時還沒能了解
01:40
that the HIV/AIDS pandemic
33
85000
2000
愛滋病能如此直接地
01:42
was directly affecting women in such a way.
34
87000
3000
使婦女受害。
01:45
And so I committed -- when I left South Africa,
35
90000
2000
所以我給自己許了個承諾
01:47
when I left Capetown,
36
92000
2000
在離開南非，開普敦的時候
01:49
I told myself, "This is going to be something
37
94000
2000
我告訴自己說
01:51
that I have to talk about.
38
96000
2000
我要告訴大家這個真相
01:53
I have to serve."
39
98000
2000
我要在這上面作一些事
01:55
And so, subsequently
40
100000
2000
所以，接下來
01:57
I participated in every single
41
102000
2000
我盡可能地
01:59
46664 event
42
104000
2000
參加了每個
02:01
that I could take part in
43
106000
2000
46664基金會的活動
02:03
and gave news conferences,
44
108000
2000
我也舉辦記者會
02:05
interviews,
45
110000
2000
給專訪
02:07
talking and using my platform as a musician,
46
112000
3000
用我音樂人的身份
02:10
with my commitment to Mandela --
47
115000
2000
爲的是我對曼德拉的承諾
02:12
out of respect for the tremendous,
48
117000
3000
和對他完成的
02:15
unbelievable work that he had done.
49
120000
2000
偉大的功業的尊敬。
02:17
Everyone in the world respects Nelson Mandela,
50
122000
3000
世上的每人都很尊重曼德拉
02:20
everyone reveres Nelson Mandela.
51
125000
2000
大家都他都很崇敬。
02:22
But do they all know
52
127000
2000
但是大家都知道
02:24
about what has been taking place in South Africa,
53
129000
2000
在南非
02:26
his country,
54
131000
2000
在曼德拉的國家裏
02:29
the country that had one of the highest incidents
55
134000
2000
愛滋病的傳染率
02:31
of transmission of the virus?
56
136000
2000
是全世界最高的嗎？
02:33
I think that if I went out into the street now
57
138000
3000
我想，要是我現在走到路上
02:36
and I told people what was happening there,
58
141000
2000
告訴大家南非的慘狀
02:38
they would be shocked.
59
143000
3000
大家都會嚇一跳吧
02:41
I was very, very fortunate a couple of years later
60
146000
3000
我，很幸運地，幾年以後
02:44
to have met Zackie Achmat,
61
149000
2000
遇到了Zackie Achmat
02:46
the founder of Treatment Action Campaign,
62
151000
2000
“治療（Treatment Action ）” 活動的創辦人
02:48
an incredible campaigner and activist.
63
153000
3000
他是個很棒的遊説家和社會運動領導
02:51
I met him at a 46664 event.
64
156000
2000
我在一個46664的活動上遇到他
02:53
He was wearing a t-shirt like the one I wear now.
65
158000
2000
他那時穿著跟我這件一樣的 T 裇
02:55
This is a tool --
66
160000
2000
這是一個工具
02:57
this tells you I am in solidarity
67
162000
2000
這告訴你
02:59
with people who have HIV,
68
164000
3000
我和愛滋病人、跟愛滋病毒共存的人
03:02
people who are living with HIV.
69
167000
2000
站在同一陣綫。
03:04
And in a way because of the stigma, by wearing this t-shirt
70
169000
3000
因爲愛滋病已被惡名化，藉著這件 T 裇
03:07
I say, "Yes, we can talk about this issue.
71
172000
3000
我要表達 “是的，我們可以公開討論這個議題”
03:10
It doesn't have to be in the closet."
72
175000
3000
這不是見不得人的事。
03:13
I became a member of Treatment Action Campaign
73
178000
3000
我也變成“治療（Treatment Action ）” 活動的一員
03:16
and I'm very proud to be a member
74
181000
2000
我覺得很驕傲
03:18
of that incredible organization.
75
183000
2000
能成爲這個不平凡組織的一員。
03:20
It's a grassroots campaign
76
185000
2000
這是個草根性的組織
03:22
with 80 percent membership being women,
77
187000
3000
80%的會員都是婦女
03:25
most of whom are HIV-positive.
78
190000
3000
大部分的人都是愛滋病帶原者。
03:28
They work in the field.
79
193000
2000
他們在社會基層工作
03:30
They have tremendous outreach
80
195000
3000
他們與
03:33
to the people who are living directly
81
198000
2000
直接受到愛滋病毒影響的人
03:35
with the effects of the virus.
82
200000
2000
能有密切的接觸。
03:37
They have education programs.
83
202000
3000
他們有一系列的教育課程
03:40
They bring out the issues of stigma.
84
205000
3000
他們主動談及這個惡名禁忌
03:43
It's quite extraordinary what they do.
85
208000
3000
他們做了很多不凡的貢獻
03:46
And yes, my SING Campaign
86
211000
2000
我領導的SING活動
03:48
has supported Treatment Action Campaign
87
213000
2000
也支持了Treatment Action 活動
03:50
in the way that I have tried to raise awareness
88
215000
3000
我試者喚起人們的認知
03:53
and to try to also raise funds.
89
218000
2000
也試著替他們募款。
03:55
A lot of the funding that I have managed to raise
90
220000
2000
很多我募到的款
03:57
has gone directly to Treatment Action Campaign
91
222000
2000
直接都捐給了這個組織
03:59
and the incredible work that they do,
92
224000
2000
和資助他們，在南非，
04:01
and are still continuing to do in South Africa.
93
226000
3000
仍持續著的不凡的活動。
04:04
So this is my SING Campaign.
94
229000
2000
這就是我的SING活動。
04:06
SING Campaign is basically just me
95
231000
2000
SING 基本上就是我
04:08
and about three or four wonderful people
96
233000
2000
和另外三四個
04:10
who help to support me.
97
235000
2000
支持我的了不起的人。
04:12
I've traveled all over the world
98
237000
2000
我走遍這個世界
04:14
in the last two and a half years --
99
239000
2000
在過去的兩年半
04:16
I went to about 12 different countries.
100
241000
2000
我去了12個國家
04:18
Here I am in Oslo in Norway,
101
243000
2000
我在挪威的奧斯陸
04:20
getting a nice, fat check;
102
245000
3000
去領一筆大的捐款
04:23
singing in Hong Kong, trying to get people to raise money.
103
248000
3000
我在香港唱歌，試著讓人們多捐一點錢。
04:26
In Johannesburg, I had the opportunity to play
104
251000
3000
在約翰尼斯堡，我有機會
04:29
to a mainly white, middle-class South African audience
105
254000
2000
對一群大部分是白人的中產階級演唱
04:31
who ended up in tears
106
256000
2000
他們最後都熱淚盈眶
04:33
because I use film clips
107
258000
2000
因爲我用了一些影片
04:35
that really touch the heart, the whole nature,
108
260000
2000
真的感動到他們的心
04:37
of this terrible tragedy that is taking place,
109
262000
3000
讓他們看看這個這正在上演的悲劇
04:40
that people are tending to avoid,
110
265000
2000
這個大家都不想去看的事實
04:42
because they are fatigued,
111
267000
2000
因爲大家都累了
04:44
and they really don't quite know what the solutions are.
112
269000
3000
沒有人知道解答在哪裏。
04:47
Aaron Motsoaledi, the current health minister,
113
272000
2000
現任的衛生部長 Aaron Motsoaledi
04:49
attended that concert
114
274000
2000
也在那個演唱會裏
04:51
and I had an opportunity to meet with him,
115
276000
2000
我有機會跟他碰面
04:53
and he gave his absolute commitment
116
278000
2000
他也給了他的承諾
04:55
to try to making a change,
117
280000
2000
他要試著做一些改變
04:57
which is absolutely necessary.
118
282000
2000
這改變是絕對必要的。
04:59
This is in the Scottish Parliament.
119
284000
2000
這是蘇格蘭議會
05:01
I've subsequently become an envoy
120
286000
2000
我後來也變成
05:03
for Scotland and HIV.
121
288000
2000
蘇格蘭的愛滋特使
05:05
And I was showing them my experiences
122
290000
2000
我跟他們分享了我的經驗
05:07
and trying to, again, raise awareness.
123
292000
3000
也再一次地喚起大家的意識
05:10
And once again, in Edinburgh
124
295000
2000
在愛丁堡
05:12
with the wonderful African Children's Choir who I simply adore.
125
297000
3000
跟這個美妙的非洲兒童合唱團
05:15
And it's children like this, many of whom have been orphaned
126
300000
3000
這樣天真無邪的兒童
05:18
because of their family being affected
127
303000
3000
因爲愛滋病毒奪取了他們的父母
05:21
by the AIDS virus.
128
306000
2000
很多都變成了孤兒。
05:23
I'm sitting here in New York with Michel Sidibe --
129
308000
3000
我在紐約跟Michel Sidibe在一起
05:26
he's the director of UNAIDS.
130
311000
2000
他是聯合國愛滋病計劃（UNAIDS）的主席
05:28
And I'm very honored
131
313000
2000
在幾個月以前
05:30
by the fact that Michel invited me,
132
315000
2000
Michel 邀請我
05:32
only a few months ago,
133
317000
2000
成爲聯合國愛滋病計劃的大使
05:34
to become a UNAIDS ambassador.
134
319000
2000
這使我深感榮耀。
05:36
And in this way, I've been strengthening my platform
135
321000
3000
藉由這項新的身份，
05:39
and broadening my outreach.
136
324000
2000
更能使我的觸角更廣泛。
05:41
The message that UNAIDS
137
326000
2000
聯合國愛滋病計劃
05:43
are currently sending out to the world
138
328000
2000
現在要傳遞的訊息是：
05:45
is that we would like to see the virtual elimination
139
330000
3000
我們希望能夠
05:48
of the transmission of the virus
140
333000
2000
在2015年以前
05:50
from mother to child by 2015.
141
335000
3000
消除愛滋病垂直的母子傳染。
05:53
It's a very ambitious goal
142
338000
2000
這是個很有野心的目標
05:55
but we believe it can be achieved with political will.
143
340000
3000
但是我們相信在政治決策上有共識的話
05:58
This can happen.
144
343000
2000
這是可能發生的。
06:00
And here I am with a pregnant woman,
145
345000
2000
這是我跟一個懷孕的媽媽
06:02
who is HIV positive
146
347000
2000
她是愛滋病帶原者
06:04
and we're smiling, both of us are smiling, because we're very confident,
147
349000
3000
但是我們都面帶自信的微笑，
06:07
because we know that that young woman
148
352000
3000
因爲我們知道這個媽媽
06:10
is receiving treatment
149
355000
2000
接受了愛滋病治療
06:12
so her life can be extended
150
357000
2000
所以她的生命可以沿續
06:14
to take care of the baby she's about to give birth to.
151
359000
3000
她可以照顧即將出世的嬰兒
06:17
And her baby will receive PMTCT,
152
362000
3000
她的嬰兒也會接受PMTCT療程
06:20
which will mean that that baby
153
365000
2000
這表示說她的嬰兒
06:22
can be born free of the virus.
154
367000
2000
可以不受愛滋病毒的感染。
06:24
Now that is prevention
155
369000
2000
現在這是
06:26
at the very beginning of life.
156
371000
2000
在生命起點就開始的預防。
06:28
It's one way to start looking at intervention
157
373000
3000
這是另一種角度
06:31
with the AIDS pandemic.
158
376000
2000
來看愛滋病的預防。
06:33
Now, I just would like to finish off
159
378000
2000
最後，我要再告訴你們
06:35
to tell you the little story
160
380000
2000
一個有關 Avelile 小故事
06:37
about Avelile.
161
382000
2000
來結束我的演講。
06:39
This is Avelile --
162
384000
2000
這就是 Avelile
06:41
she goes with me wherever I go.
163

I tell her story to everyone
164
388000
2000
我到處跟人說她的故事
06:45
because she represents
165
390000
2000
因爲她正代表了
06:47
one of millions
166
392000
2000
幾百萬個愛滋孤兒的
06:49
of HIV/AIDS orphans.

168
396000
2000
Avelile 的媽媽
06:53
had HIV virus --
169
398000
2000
是愛滋病帶原者
06:55
she died
170
400000
2000
她死於
06:57
from AIDS-related illness.
171
402000
2000
愛滋病倂發的疾病
06:59
Avelile had the virus,
172
404000
2000
Avelile 也是病毒帶原者
07:01
she was born with the virus.
173
406000
2000
她一出世就帶病毒。
07:03
And here she is at seven years old,
174
408000
3000
在這裡她七歲
07:06
weighing no more than a one year-old baby.
175
411000
2000
卻只有一歲嬰兒的體重
07:08
At this point in her life,
176
413000
2000
她在這時
07:10
she's suffering with full-blown AIDS
177
415000
2000
正受著愛滋病病發的折磨
07:12
and had pneumonia.
178
417000
2000
還有肺炎。
07:14
We met her in a hospital in the Eastern Cape
179
419000
3000
我們在東開普省的醫院發現她
07:17
and spent a whole afternoon with her -- an adorable child.
180
422000
3000
我們跟她相處了一個下午，她實在很可愛
07:20
The doctors and nurses were phenomenal.
181
425000
2000
醫生和護士也都很另人敬佩
07:22
They put her on very special nutritious diet
182
427000
3000
他們給她特別的飲食
07:25
and took great care of her.
183
430000
3000
細心地照顧她
07:28
And we didn't know when we left the hospital --
184
433000
2000
我們拍了她的影片
07:30
because we filmed her story -- we didn't know if she was going to survive.
185
435000
3000
離開醫院的時候，沒有人知道她能不能活下來
07:33
So, it was obviously -- it was a very emotional encounter
186
438000
3000
所以，這實在是十分令人感動的相遇
07:36
and left us feeling very resonant
187
441000
2000
遇到這個小孩，這麽直接的經驗
07:38
with this direct experience, this one child,
188
443000
3000
讓我們每個人的心裏都產生極大的共鳴
07:41
you know, that story.

3000
五個月以後
07:46
we went back to South Africa
191
451000
2000
我們又回到南非
07:48
to meet Avelile again.
192
453000
3000
去看 Avelile
07:51
And I'm getting --
193
456000
2000
我手臂上的毛都竪起來了
07:53
the hairs on my -- I don't know if you can see the hairs on my arms.
194
458000
2000
不知道你能不能看到
07:55
They're standing up because I know what I'm going to show you.
195
460000
3000
我有這樣的反應因爲我知道
07:58
This is the transformation that took place.
196

08:15
That round of applause is actually
199
480000
2000
現場的這些掌聲應該
08:17
for the doctors and nurses of the hospital who took care of Avelile.
200
482000
3000
要獻給醫院裏照顧她的醫生和護士。
08:20
And I take it that you appreciate that kind of transformation.
201
485000
3000
我相信在場的人也都喜歡這種轉變。
08:24
So, I would like to say to you,
202
489000
2000
所以，我想問你們
08:26
each one in the audience,
203
491000
2000
在場的每一位
08:28
if you feel that every mother
204
493000
3000
如果，你覺得世上的
08:31
and every child in the world
205
496000
2000

08:50
could you please stand up.
213

2000
可以請你站起來嗎？
08:58
I think that's fair to say,
214
523000
2000
我想，我們可以說
09:00
it's almost everyone in the hall.
215
525000
3000
現場幾乎每一個人都站起來了。
09:03
Thank you very much.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Annie Lennox - Activist, singer-songwriterThe most successful female British pop musician in history, Annie Lennox has now committed herself to raising awareness of, and supporting actions against, the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa.
Why you should listen
After decades of global fame as part of Eurythmics and as a solo artist, Annie Lennox was moved by Nelson Mandela's call to stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa, where it disproportionately affects women and children. She founded the SING campaign in 2007 to raise both awareness and money. "This is an illness that has a lot of stigma," Lennox says on her video blog. "What we need to do is normalize HIV."
Drawing on her talents, she combines music and film to put a human face on the crisis and emotionally connect people to the cause. South Africa has a tradition of activist songs and singing; inspired by this, in spring 2007 Lennox invited 23 female artists to record the benefit single "Sing." The record incorporates the South African activist song "Jikelele," which means "global treatment." So far, sales of "Sing" have raised 100,000 pounds, while other appearances since then have multiplied that sum. SING's money goes to support efforts such as the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), which works to fight mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Lennox is active in many other causes, both personal and political; in 2008 she was awarded the Services to Humanity Award by the British Red Cross.
