所以如果你在想
一个疯子是如何

how a Nutt纳特 managed管理
to end结束 up in a war战争 zone.
3
9163
2916
进入到一个战争区域的
我不会怪你的
00:24
I actually其实 was offered提供, right out
of medical school学校, and accepted公认
4
12103
4341
我在医学院毕业后
作为一名志愿者加入了
00:28
a volunteer志愿者 contract合同 to work
with UNICEF联合国儿童基金会 in war-torn兵连祸结 Somalia索马里,
5
16468
3837
联合国儿童基金会进入了
饱受战争蹂躏的索马里
00:32
that was worth价值 one dollar美元.
6
20329
2479
这个工作的工资是一美元
00:34
And, you see, I had to be paid支付 this dollar美元
7
22832
2411
我必须要这一美元的工资
00:37
in the event事件 that the UN联合国 needed需要
to issue问题 an evacuation疏散 order订购,
8
25267
3135
这样当联合国有必要颁布疏散令时
00:40
so that I would be covered覆盖.
9
28426
2070
我将被包含在内
00:42
I was, after all, heading标题 into one
of the world's世界 most dangerous危险 places地方.
10
30520
4372
随后我义无反顾地进入了
世界上最危险的地区
00:47
And by now, some of you
may可能 be asking yourselves你自己,
11
35340
3135
此时此刻有些人
可能会在暗自猜测
00:50
and I just want to reassure再保证 you,
12
38499
1532
我向各位保证
00:52
that I did get half the money up front面前.

40055
2299

00:54
(Laughter笑声)
14
42378
1788
(笑声)
00:56
But you see, this is how,
with 50 cents in my pocket口袋,
15
44717
2852
揣着兜里的仅有的50美分
00:59
I ended结束 up in Baidoa, Somalia索马里.
16
47593
2292
我来到了索马里的拜多阿
01:02
Journalists记者 called it the "city of death死亡."
17
50615
2270
媒体记者们口中的“死亡之城”
01:05
And they called it the city of death死亡
18
53299
1824
之所以叫做死亡之城
01:07
because 300,000 people
had lost丢失 their lives生活 there --
19
55147
3158
因为三十万人已经失去了他们的生命
01:10
300,000 people,
20
58765
3598
整整三十万人
01:14
mostly大多 as a result结果
of war-related战争有关 famine饥荒 and disease疾病.
21
62387
4156
大多数死于战争引发的饥荒和疾病
01:19
I was part部分 of a team球队 that was tasked任务
with trying to figure数字 out
22
67487
3947
我所属的团队致力于解决
01:23
how best最好 to respond响应
to this humanitarian人道主义 catastrophe灾难.
23
71458
2969
如何应对这种人道主义灾难
01:26
It was right on the heels脚跟
of the Rwandan卢旺达 genocide种族灭绝,
24
74839
2715
这场灾难紧随卢旺达大屠杀之后
01:29
and aid援助 money to the region地区 was drying烘干 up.
25
77578
2667
地区的救助资金已经捉襟见肘
01:32
Many许多 aid援助 organizations组织, unfortunately不幸,
26
80269
2042
很不幸,很多救援机构
01:34
had been forced被迫 to close their doors.
27
82335
2576
被迫关上了救助的大门
01:36
And so the question that I was asked
to specifically特别 help answer回答,
28
84935
3710
我被派来帮助回答的主要问题
01:40
which哪一个 is one that aid援助 workers工人 ask
themselves他们自己 in war战争 zones the world世界 over,
29
88669
5676
也是全世界在战区的
志愿者们问他们自己的:
01:47
is: What the hell地狱 do we do now?
30
95202
2048
我们现在怎么做?
01:50
You know, the security安全 environment环境
in Somalia索马里 at that moment时刻 in time --
31
98131
3404
那时候索马里的治安环境
01:53
and nothing has really changed too much --
32
101559
2031
到目前为止也没有任何改观
01:55
can best最好 be described描述 as "Mad Max马克斯"
by way of "A Clockwork发条装置 Orange橙子."
33
103614
4438
那简直可以用《疯狂的麦克斯》
与《发条橙》的结合体来形容
02:01
And I remember记得 very distinctly历历
a couple一对 of days after my arrival到达,
34
109477
5131
我清楚地记得在我来了几天之后
02:06
I went up to a feeding馈送 clinic诊所.
35
114632
2605
我去了一家喂养诊疗所
02:09
There were dozens许多 of women妇女
who were standing常设 in line线,
36
117967
2538
几十个妇女在排队等待
02:12
and they were clutching抓着
their infants婴儿 very close.
37
120529
2740
每一个人都
紧紧地抱着自己的婴儿。
02:16
About 20 minutes分钟 into
this conversation会话 I was having
38
124309
2745
在和其中一位
年轻的女性聊天的
02:19
with this one young年轻 woman女人,
39
127078
2024
20分钟时间里
02:21
I leaned凑近 forward前锋
40
129126
1376
我靠上前
02:23
and tried试着 to put my finger手指
in the palm棕榈 of her baby's宝宝 hand.
41
131260
3536
试图把我的手指
放在孩子小小的手掌中。
02:28
And when I did this,
42
136225
1311
放上去的那一刻
02:29
I discovered发现 that her baby宝宝
was already已经 in rigor严格.
43
137560
3998
我发现婴儿已经僵硬了
02:34
She was stiff僵硬,
44
142249
1754
她已经死了
02:36
and her little, lifeless死气沉沉 hand
was curled卷曲 into itself本身.
45
144709
3405
她毫无生气的小手自然地蜷缩在一起
02:40
She had died死亡 hours小时 before
46
148986
3067
因为营养不良和缺水她已经
02:44
of malnutrition营养不良 and dehydration脱水.
47
152759
2187
死去几个小时了。
02:48
I later后来 learned学到了
that as her baby宝宝 was dying垂死,
48
156242
2898
我后来了解到
就在这个婴儿奄奄一息的时候
02:51
this young年轻 woman女人 had
been held保持 for two days
49
159164
4322
这位年轻的女人已经
被一群拿着卡拉希尼科夫步枪的年轻人
02:55
by some teenage青少年 boys男孩 who were armed武装
with Kalashnikov卡拉什尼科夫 rifles步枪,
50
163510
4736
勒索了两天
03:00
and they were trying
to shake her down for more money,
51
168270
2530
他们试图从她那儿搜刮一些
03:02
money she very clearly明确地 did not have.
52
170824
2682
她很明显没有的钱财
03:05
And this is a scene现场 that I have confronted面对
53
173807
3341
这种景象在世界各地陷入战争的地区
03:09
in war战争 zones the world世界 over;
54
177172
2587
随处可见
03:12
places地方 where kids孩子, some as young年轻
as eight -- they are this big --
55
180435
5313
有些孩子只有八岁
这么高
03:18
and those kids孩子, they have
never been to school学校.
56
186345
2323
他们从没上过学
03:21
But they have fought战斗 and they have killed杀害
with automatic自动 rifles步枪.
57
189049
6072
但是他们出入战火
全副武装
03:28
Is this just the way the world世界 is?
58
196589
2913
这是世界应该有的样子么?
03:32
Some will you tell you
that war战争 is unavoidably不可避免地 human人的.
59
200451
4349
有人说战争是人类不可避免的
03:37
After all, it is as old
as existence存在 itself本身.
60
205234
3113
自古以来就是这样
03:41
We say never again, and yet然而 it happens发生
again and again and again.
61
209419
6634
我们说停止战争
然而战争却一而再再而三的发生
03:49
But I will tell you
that I have seen看到 the absolute绝对 worst最差
62
217232
5731
虽然我可以说见过了
03:55
of what we as human人的 beings众生
are capable of doing to one another另一个,
63
223671
3773
人类之间最惨绝人寰的
相互杀害
04:00
and yet然而 I still believe
a different不同 outcome结果 is possible可能.
64
228222
4405
我仍然相信
有解决这个问题的方法
04:05
Do you want to know why?
65
233659
1234
你们想知道为什么?
04:07
Because over 20 years年份 of doing this work,
66
235536
2318
因为超过20年的工作
04:09
going in and out of war战争 zones
around the world世界,
67
237878
2711
让我穿梭于世界上各大战区,
04:12
I have come to understand理解
68
240613
2143
我逐渐明白
04:14
that there are aspects方面 of this problem问题
69
242780
1920
这个问题的某些部分
04:16
that we, all of us, as people
occupying占用 this shared共享 space空间,
70
244724
4078
我们大家
作为一起生活的人民
04:21
that we can change更改 --
71
249421
2183
是可以做出改变的
04:23
not through通过 force or coercion强迫 or invasion侵入,
72
251628
3934
不是通过威胁或入侵的方式改变
04:27
but by simply只是 looking at all
of the options选项 available可得到 to us
73
255586
3729
而是通过寻找所有合适的方法
04:31
and choosing选择 the ones那些 that favor偏爱
peace和平 at the expense费用 of war战争,
74
259940
5118
用崇尚和平,放弃战争的方式
04:37
instead代替 of war战争 at the expense费用 of peace和平.
75
265722
4202
取代以牺牲和平为代价的战争
04:43
How so?
76
271158
1262
我们怎么做呢?
04:44
Well, I want you to consider考虑 this:
77
272444
1739
各位请看:
04:46
there are at least最小 800 million百万
small arms武器 and light weapons武器
78
274207
5457
如今至少有8亿的轻武器
04:51
in circulation循环 in the world世界 today今天.
79
279688
2456
在世界各地流通
04:54
The vast广大 majority多数 of civilians老百姓,
like that young年轻 baby宝宝,
80
282788
3489
绝大多数死于战区的平民
04:58
who are dying垂死 in war战争 zones
around the world世界,
81
286301
2389
比如刚才说的那个婴儿
05:00
are dying垂死 at the hands
of various各个 armed武装 groups
82
288714
2975
是死于这些武装力量之手
05:03
who rely依靠 on a near-infinite接近无限 supply供应
of cheap低廉, easy简单 and efficient高效 weapons武器
83
291713
6326
他们依靠唾手可得的
便宜、简单、有效的武器
05:10
to rape强奸, threaten威胁, intimidate威吓
and brutalize施暴 those civilians老百姓
84
298063
4660
动辄去强奸,威胁,恐吓
和残酷对待
05:14
at every一切 turn.
85
302747
1404
那些平民。
05:16
How cheap低廉?
86
304937
1151
有多便宜?
05:18
Well, in some parts部分 of the world世界,
87
306112
1616
世界上的某些地区
05:19
you can buy购买 an AK-AK-47
for as little as 10 dollars美元.
88
307752
4398
10美元就可以买下一把
AK-47。
05:24
In many许多 places地方 in which哪一个 I have worked工作,
89
312174
2856
在我工作过的很多地方,
05:27
it is easier更轻松 to get access访问
to an automatic自动 rifle步枪
90
315621
4497
得到一把自动步枪
05:32
than it is to get access访问
to clean清洁 drinking water.
91
320142
4121
比得到干净的直饮水要容易得多。
05:37
And so now the important重要 part部分:
92
325040
1596
接下来重要的是:
05:39
Can anything be doneDONE about this?
93
327699
3119
我们可以改变这个现状么?
05:43
To answer回答 that question,
94
331922
1880
为了回答这个问题
05:45
let's take a look
at this map地图 of the world世界.
95
333826
2010
我们看一下世界地图。
05:48
And now, let's add in all of the countries国家
that are currently目前 at war战争,
96
336246
4384
我们先看一下所有
正在战火中的国家
05:53
and the number of people
who have either died死亡
97
341266
2334
和在灾难中死亡
05:55
or have been displaced流离失所
as a result结果 of that violence暴力.
98
343624
2468
或者无家可归的人的数字。
05:58
It is a staggering踉跄 number --
99
346116
1396
这是一个让人震惊的数字
05:59
more than 40 million百万 people.
100
347536
2697
超过四千万人。
06:02
But you will also notice注意
something else其他 about this map地图.
101
350764
2667
在这张地图上
还可以注意到一个事实
06:05
You will notice注意
that most of those countries国家
102
353455
2120
你会发现
绝大多数这些国家
06:07
are in the Global全球 South.
103
355599
1354
都在全球的南方。
06:09
Now, let's look at the countries国家
104
357453
2290
接下来请看
06:11
that are the world's世界 top最佳 20 exporters出口商
of small arms武器 in the world世界.
105
359767
4855
世界上前20轻武器输出国。
06:17
And what do we notice注意?
106
365559
1242
我们发现了什么?
06:19
Well, you see them in green绿色.
107
367331
1463
他们被涂了绿色。
06:20
You will notice注意 that those are mostly大多
countries国家 in the Global全球 North,
108
368818
3890
我们发现绝大多数的国家
都在全球的北方
06:24
primarily主要 Western西 countries国家.
109
372732
1698
主要是西方国家。
06:26
What does this tell us?
110
374454
1216
这说明了什么?
06:27
This tells告诉 us that most of the people
who are dying垂死 in war战争
111
375694
3491
这说明那些饱受战争折磨的人
06:31
are living活的 in poor较差的 countries国家,
112
379209
1903
都是贫困国家的人,
06:33
and yet然而 most of the people
who are profiting获利 from war战争
113
381136
2814
而那些在战争中获利的人
06:36
are living活的 in rich丰富 countries国家 --
people like you and me.
114
384609
4362
都是发达国家的人
就像你我这样的人。
06:41
And then what if we go
beyond small arms武器 for a second第二.
115
389804
2802
如果我们先把
轻武器的话题放在一边
06:44
What if we look at all weapons武器
in circulation循环 in the world世界?
116
392630
3224
我们看一下世界上
所有武器的流通情况。
06:47
Who does the biggest最大 business商业?
117
395878
1784
谁是最大的贸易国?
06:49
Well, roughly大致 80 percent百分 of those weapons武器
118
397686
2475
大约80%的武器市场
06:52
come from none没有 other
than the five permanent常驻 members会员

3542
不是由别人控制
06:55

403751
1891
正是联合国安理会的五个国家
06:57
plus Germany德国.
121
405666
1428
加上德国所控制。
06:59
It's shocking触目惊心, isn't it?
122
407769
1278
令人震惊,是吧?
07:01
Now, some of you might威力 be saying
at this moment时刻 in time,
123
409515
2676
也许有些人这时候会说
07:04
"Oh yeah, but OK,
hang on a second第二 there ... Nutt纳特."
124
412215
3251
“是的,不过等一下...纳特”

2954
(笑声)
07:17
But you might威力 be saying to yourselves你自己,
129
425420
1842
也许你们会这样说
07:19
You know, all of these weapons武器
in war战争 zones -- they're not a cause原因,
130
427286
3348
这些战区的武器泛滥
并不是战争的起因
07:22
but an effect影响 of the violence暴力
that plagues瘟疫 them
131
430658
2422
而是在战争与暴力
夜以继日的折磨下
07:25
each and every一切 single day.
132
433104
1484
产生的结果。
07:26
You know, places地方 like Iraq伊拉克
and Afghanistan阿富汗,
133
434612
2183
像伊拉克和阿富汗这样的地区
07:28
where they need these weapons武器
to be able能够 to maintain保持 law and order订购,
134
436819
3414
他们需要武器去维持法律和秩序
07:32
promote促进 peace和平 and security安全,
to combat战斗 terror恐怖 groups --
135
440257
3621
去维护和平和治安
去打击恐怖组织

surely一定 this is a good thing.
136
443902
2495
这当然是好的。
07:38
Let's take a look at that assumption假设
for just one moment时刻,
137
446773
2688
我们来仔细思考一下这个说法
07:41
because you see there has been
a boom繁荣 in the small-arms小武器 trade贸易
138
449485
3786
因为自从反恐战争开始之后
你可以看到轻武器的交易
07:45
since以来 the start开始 of the War战争 on Terror恐怖.
139
453295
1784
呈井喷上升的趋势。
07:47
In fact事实, it is a business商业
that has grown长大的 threefold三倍
140
455103
3198
实际上在过去的15年里总交易量
07:50
over the past过去 15 years年份.
141
458325
1943
已经翻了三倍。
07:52
And now let's compare比较 that
to the number of people
142
460688
3557
现在我们比对一下同样时间内
07:56
who have directly died死亡
in armed武装 conflict冲突 around the world世界
143
464269
3826
世界各地直接死于武装袭击的
08:00
in that same相同 period.
144
468119
1175
人口数量。
08:01
What do you notice注意?
145
469627
1445
各位发现了什么?
08:03
Well, you notice注意 that, in fact事实,
that also goes up
146
471096
2357
我们可以看到人口数也
08:05
roughly大致 three-三- to fourfold四倍.
147
473477
1611
翻了三到四番。
08:07
They basically基本上 go up
and end结束 at the same相同 point.
148
475112
3665
两个曲线走势基本相同。
08:11
Now, we can have a circular argument论据 here
149
479310
2770
据此我们可以对死亡上升
08:14
about whether是否 this increase增加
in fatalities死亡 is a response响应
150
482104
4072
是轻武器造成的结果还是另有原因
08:18
to the increase增加 of small arms武器,
or the other way around.
151
486200
3909
进行一个循环论证。
08:22
But here's这里的 what we should
really take away from this.
152
490133
2496
但是有一件事我们要仔细考虑
08:24
What we should take away from this
153
492653
1660
武器贩卖与地区安全的关系
08:26
is that this is a relationship关系
worth价值 scrutinizing审议,
154
494337
4418
我们值得仔细考虑。
08:31
especially特别 when you consider考虑
that small arms武器 that were shipped to Iraq伊拉克
155
499447
4866
因为当我们发现
这些本来运输到伊拉克为了
08:36
for use by the Iraqi伊拉克人 Army军队,
156
504337
1794
给伊拉克政府军装备的轻武器
08:38
or to Syria叙利亚 for so-called所谓
moderate中等 opposition反对 fighters战士,
157
506155
3247
和运输到叙利亚
是为了镇压反对派的轻武器
08:41
that those arms武器, many许多 of them,
are now in the hands of ISIS伊斯兰国;
158
509426
4193
最后都落入了ISIS手中。
08:46
or when you consider考虑 that arms武器
that were shipped to Libya利比亚
159
514096
2740
因为我们发现
这些本来运输到利比亚的轻武器
08:48
are now actively积极地 drifting漂流
across横过 the Sahel萨赫勒,
160
516860
2713
最后通过撒哈拉沙漠
08:51
and ending结尾 up with groups
like Boko博科 Haram闺房 and al Qaeda凯达
161
519597
4743
辗转到了
博科圣地和基地组织
08:56
and other militant激进 groups.
162
524364
2705
等其他武装组织的手里。
08:59
And therein在其中 lies the problem问题.
163
527950
1834
这就是问题所在。
09:02
Because, you see,
164
530466
1152
可以看到
09:03
small arms武器 anywhere随地
are a menace威胁 everywhere到处,
165
531642
5519
轻武器的泛滥
导致了遍地的灾难
09:09
because their first stop
is rarely很少 their last.
166
537831
4343
武器泛滥
覆水难收。
09:14
Spending开支 on war战争 per person per year
167
542904
2416
现在每年每人在战争上的开支
09:17
now amounts to about 249 dollars美元 --
168
545344
4045
大概是249美元
09:21
249 dollars美元 per person,
169
549413
2401
每人249美元。
09:23
which哪一个 is roughly大致 12 times
what we spend on foreign国外 aid援助,
170
551838
4939
这是每年用在地球南方的儿童教育
09:28
money that is used to educate教育
and vaccinate接种疫苗 children孩子
171
556801
3437
疫苗免疫和对抗营养不良
09:32
and combat战斗 malnutrition营养不良
in the Global全球 South.
172
560262
2863
的海外援助的十二倍。
09:35
But we can shift转移 that balance平衡.
173
563814
3297
但是我们可以改变这个平衡。
09:39
How do we do this?
174
567604
1151
怎么去做呢?
09:40
Well, it is essentially实质上 a problem问题
of both supply供应 and demand需求,
175
568779
2842
这本质上是一个供求关系问题
09:43
so we can tackle滑车 it from both sides双方.
176
571645
1943
所以我们可以从两方面解决。
09:45
On the supply供应 side,
177
573993
1670
在供应方面,
09:47
we can push our governments政府
178
575687
3174
我们可以敦促我们政府
09:50
to adopt采用 international国际 arms武器
transparency透明度 mechanisms机制
179
578885
3063
去采取国际武器透明机制。
09:53
like the Arms武器 Trade贸易 Treaty条约,
180
581972
1801
比如接受武器贸易公约。
09:55
which哪一个 makes品牌 it so that rich丰富 countries国家
have to be more accountable问责
181
583797
3767
这样可以让发达国家对于
09:59
for where their arms武器 are going
182
587588
1675
武器的去向和用途
10:01
and what their arms武器 might威力 be used for.
183
589287
2399
承担更多的责任。
10:03
Here in the United联合的 States状态,
184
591710
1265
比如美国
10:04
the largest最大 arms-exporting武器出口 country国家
in the world世界 by far,
185
592999
4617
这个世界最大的武器出口国,
10:09
President主席 Obama奥巴马 has rightly正当地 signed
the Arms武器 Trade贸易 Treaty条约,
186
597640
3925
奥巴马总统已经签署了
武器贸易公约,
10:13
but none没有 of it takes effect影响,
it isn't binding捆绑,
187
601589
2561
但是它只有得到
10:16
until直到 it is approved批准
and ratified批准 by the Senate参议院.
188
604174
3509
美国的参议院批准
才有法律约束力。
10:20
This is where we need
to make our voices声音 heard听说.
189
608865
2954
这正需要我们的奋力疾呼。
10:23
You know, the curbing遏制 of small arms武器 --
190
611843
3714
组织轻武器泛滥
10:27
it's not going to solve解决
the problem问题 of war战争.
191
615581
2802
不会解决战争问题。
10:30
Increased增加 control控制 mechanisms机制
won't惯于 solve解决 that problem问题.
192
618407
3282
对于武器的管制
也不会解决战争问题。
10:33
But it's an important重要 step
in the right direction方向.
193
621713
3247
但是这是朝
正确方向上的重要一步。
10:36
And it's up to all of us
who live生活 in those rich丰富 countries国家
194
624984
2873
而且这正是身处发达国家的我们
10:39
to make change更改 here.
195
627881
1810
需要做出的改变。
10:41
What about on the demand需求 side?
196
629994
3209
那么需求方面呢?
10:45
You know, there are generations
around the world世界
197
633227
2753
世界上有大量的人
10:48
who are being存在 lost丢失 to war战争.
198
636004
2056
正站在死于战争的边缘。
10:51
It is possible可能 to disrupt破坏
that cycle周期 of violence暴力
199
639202
2991
我们可以通过
对于教育投资、加强法治
10:54
with investments投资 in education教育,
in strengthening强化 the rule规则 of law
200
642217
3993
促进经济发展和保护妇女权益
10:58
and in economic经济 development发展,
especially特别 for women妇女.
201
646234
2381
来打破这个暴力的循环。
11:00
I have personally亲自 seen看到
202
648639
1628
我已经亲眼所见
11:02
just how incredibly令人难以置信 powerful强大
those kinds of efforts努力 can be
203
650291
3041
在这个世界上这些方法
11:05
around the world世界.
204
653356
1334
有多么不可思议的力量。
11:07
But here's这里的 the thing:
205
655458
1376
但是有一点:
11:08
they take time,
206
656858
1408
这需要时间。
11:10
which哪一个 means手段 for you as individuals个人,
if you want to give,
207
658290
4039
这意味着如果作为个人
如果你想要给予
11:14
please, by all means手段 do it.
208
662353
1707
请务必慷慨解囊。
11:16
But know that how you give
is just as important重要
209
664084
3563
但请注意如何给予和
11:19
as how much you give.
210
667671
2007
给予多少一样重要。
11:22
Regular定期 contributions捐款
like monthly每月一次 contributions捐款
211
670147
2445
固定捐款
比如每月的捐款
11:24
are a far more effective有效 way of giving,
212
672616
3288
是更加有效的捐助方式
11:27
because they allow允许
humanitarian人道主义 organizations组织
213
675928
2713
因为人权组织可以
11:30
to properly正确 plan计划 and be invested投资
over the long term术语,
214
678665
4325
从长远角度合理规划这笔资金。
11:35
and to be present当下 in the lives生活 of families家庭
who have been affected受影响 by war战争,
215
683014
5625
这笔资金会用在饱受战争影响的家庭
11:40
wars战争 that many许多 of us, frankly坦率地说,
all too quickly很快 forget忘记.
216
688663
4236
虽然可能这些战争已经被我们遗忘。
11:45
When I first got on that plane平面
for Somalia索马里 as a young年轻 doctor医生,
217
693939
5360
当我第一次 作为一位年轻医生
坐上去往索马里的飞机时
11:52
I had no idea理念 what it meant意味着
to live生活 with war战争.
218
700942
3297
我不知道战火中生存意味着什么。
11:57
But I can tell you that I know
what it means手段 now.
219
705519
2402
但是我现在可以和各位分享。
12:00
And I know what it means手段
220
708636
2345
在战火中生存就是
12:03
to lie谎言 in bed in the pitch-black乌黑 night
221
711529
4175
在漆黑的夜里躺在床上
12:08
and listen to that haunting令人难以忘怀
"pop-pop-pop-pop-pop流行流行流行流行流行!"
222
716684
3643
听着萦绕耳边的
“蹦蹦蹦蹦蹦”的
12:13
of automatic自动 gunfire炮火,
223
721295
1619
机枪声,
12:16
and wonder奇迹 with absolute绝对 dread恐惧
224
724002
2423
不知道死亡
12:19
how many许多 minutes分钟 I have left
until直到 it will be right on top最佳 of me.
225
727298
3587
什么时候会降临到我的头上。
12:23
I can tell you that it is a terrifying可怕的
and agonizing折腾 fear恐惧,
226
731556
5037
这种可怕的而痛苦的恐惧感
12:28
one that millions百万 of people
around the world世界 are forced被迫 to confront面对
227
736617
4357
是世界上成千上万的人
12:32
each and every一切 single day,
228
740998
2166
尤其是儿童
12:35
especially特别 children孩子.
229
743188
1333
每天都必须面对的。
12:37
Over the years年份 of doing this work,
230
745417
2740
做这份工作多年以来
12:40
unfortunately不幸, war战争 has killed杀害
far too many许多 people close to me.
231
748181
5112
很遗憾,战争
结束了我很多朋友的生命。
12:46
And on at least最小 a couple一对 of occasions场合,
232
754277
2976
有很多次
12:49
war战争 has very nearly几乎 killed杀害 me as well.
233
757277
2770
甚至差点结束了我的生命。
12:53
But I firmly牢牢 believe,
234
761309
4874
但我仍然坚信,
12:58
which哪一个 is why I get up and do
what I do every一切 single day,
235
766207
2777
我们可以做出改变
13:01
that we can make different不同 choices选择 here.
236
769786
2728
这也是我
每天坚持在那里的原因。
13:05
Because you see, war战争 is ours我们的,
237
773284
2819
如你所见,
13:08
as human人的 beings众生.
238
776127
1579
战争是人类的产物。
13:09
We buy购买 it, sell it, spread传播 it and wage工资 it.
239
777730
3612
我们发动战争,传播战争
我们通过战争购买和售卖。
13:13
We are therefore因此
not powerless无力 to solve解决 it.
240
781960
3699
因此我们责无旁贷去解决它。
13:18
On the contrary相反,
241
786569
1671
并且
13:20
we are the only ones那些 who can.
242
788264
2951
也只有我们可以解决它。
13:23
Thank you very much, and I want
to wish希望 you the greatest最大 success成功.
243
