Neighbors, however, are quick to react

然而，鄰居對於其它種類的噪音
卻會非常快速做出反應。

00:52
We wanted to expose and affect
the absurdity of this.

11
40404

我們想要將如此荒唐的
現象揭露出來。
現象揭露出來。
00:56
So we designed an experiment.
12
44889

所以，我們設計了一個實驗。
01:00
We rented the apartment
just below V's for one night.

在這個國家，每兩週，
02:10
the ground quietly embraces
the body of a woman

被另一半或親人所謀殺的女性屍體。
02:13
murdered by a partner or a relative,
37
121399
2785
02:16
we were loud,
38
124208
1801
我們的聲音很大，
02:18
and we were heard.
39
126033
1451
並且被聽見了。
02:22
I am an activist,

130627
2090
我是社會運動家，
02:24
passionate about human rights innovation.

我的工作是在思考
要如何讓大家關心並採取行動。

02:37
I am here to tell you
that creative actions can save the world,

我告訴各位，創意行動能拯救世界，
02:42
creative actions and play.
45
150981
2626
創意的行動和玩樂。
02:46
I know it is weird to talk about play
and human rights in the same sentence,
and human rights in the same sentence,
46
154576
5147
我知道在一個句子裡
同時談到玩樂和人權很奇怪，
同時談到玩樂和人權很奇怪，
02:51
but here is why it's important.
47
159747
2052
但以下就是它如此重要的原因。
02:55
More and more, we fear
that we can't win this.
that we can't win this.
48
163038
3810
我們越來越害怕無法打贏這場仗。
02:59
Campaigns feel dull,
49
167495
1767
活動讓人枯燥，
03:01
messages drown,
50
169286
1470
訊息被淹沒，
03:03
people break.
51
171267
1524
大家都累垮了。
03:06
Numerous studies, including a recent one

指出過去的社會運動家
大多已經精疲力竭且沮喪萬分。
大多已經精疲力竭且沮喪萬分。
03:14
Years ago, I myself was burned out.
54
182417
2742
幾年前，我自己也曾精疲力竭。
03:17
In a world of endless ways forward,
I felt at my final stop.
I felt at my final stop.
55
185183
4429
在這個前路似乎無止盡的世界，
我感覺到我的終點站了
我感覺到我的終點站了
03:22
So what melts fear or dullness or gloom?
56
190605
4488
那麼如何能夠融化恐懼、
枯燥，或陰沉？
枯燥，或陰沉？
03:27
Play.
57
195793
1209
玩樂。
03:29
From this very stage, psychiatrist
and play researcher Dr. Stuart Brown

03:33
said that nothing
lights up the brain like play,

59
201754
2780
說過，沒有什麼能夠
像玩樂能夠這樣啟發大腦，
像玩樂能夠這樣啟發大腦，
03:37
and that the opposite of play is not work,
60
205582
2164
且玩樂的相反詞並不是工作，
03:39
it's depression.
61
207770
1270
而是沮喪。
03:41
So to pull out of my own burnout,
62
209729
2371
所以，為了讓自己
擺脫精疲力竭的狀態，
擺脫精疲力竭的狀態，
03:44
I decided to turn my activism
into what I call today "play-tivism."
into what I call today "play-tivism."
63
212124
5645
我決定將我的社會運動家這個身分
轉變成如今我所說的 :
「玩樂社會運動家」。
「玩樂社會運動家」。
03:50
(Laughter)
64
218160
1766
（笑聲）
03:52
When we play, others want to join.
65
220339
3261
當我們在玩樂，
其他人就會想要加入。
其他人就會想要加入。
03:56
Today, my playground
is filled with artists,

讓社會運動更有影響力。

04:08
Our outcomes are not meant to be playful,
70
236346
2686
我們的結果不是為了好玩的，
04:11
but our process is.
71
239056
2056
但我們的過程是。
04:13
To us, play is an act of resistance.
72
241832
3397
對我們來說，玩樂就是
一種反抗的舉動。

04:18
For example, "Beat.,"

或是透過桌上遊戲，
讓你扮演獨裁者的角色，

實際體驗使用壓迫手法
和戰略的罪惡感。

04:59
We did our first lab
just to test the idea,
just to test the idea,
83
287382
3263
我們做第一個實驗室時
只是為了測試這個想法，
只是為了測試這個想法，
05:02
to see where it cracks
and if we can make it better.
and if we can make it better.
84
290669
2757
想看看有什麼不足，
及是否能把它做得更好。

05:05
Today, we are so in love with the format
that we put it all online

現今，我們實在太愛這個形式，
所以我們把它放上網，
所以我們把它放上網，
05:08
for anyone to implement.
86
296728

讓任何人都能運用。
05:11
I cannot overstate the value
of experimentation in activism.

我不會誇飾實驗性質的
社會運動所帶來的價值。

05:15
We can only win
if we are not afraid to lose.

88
303312
3363
如果我們不怕輸，最後就會贏。
05:20
When we play, we learn.
89
308247
2645
我們可以從玩樂中學到教訓。
05:24
A recent study published
by Stanford University
by Stanford University
90
312332
2639
有一篇近期出版的史丹佛大學研究
05:26
about the science
of what makes people care

91
314995
2070
旨在探究什麼因素會讓人在乎，
05:29
reconfirms what we have
been hearing for years:
been hearing for years:
92
317089
3180
結果再次證實了我們
多年來聽到的說法：
多年來聽到的說法：
05:32
opinions are changed
not from more information
not from more information
93
320293
2665
觀念的改變並不是靠大量的資訊，
05:34
but through empathy-inducing experiences.
94
322982
2145
而是透過親身經歷
進而產生同理心來改變。
進而產生同理心來改變。
05:38
So learning from science and art,
95
326020
2798
我們從科學和藝術學習，
05:40
we saw that we can talk about
global armed conflict through light bulbs,
global armed conflict through light bulbs,
96
328842
5278
我們了解到，我們可以用燈泡
來談論全球的武裝衝突，
來談論全球的武裝衝突，
05:46
or address racial inequality in the US
97
334144
2857
或是透過明信片，
來說明美國的種族不平等
來說明美國的種族不平等
05:49
through postcards,

or tackle the lack of even
one single monument of a woman in Sofia
one single monument of a woman in Sofia

抑或，當索非亞少了一名女子的
紀念碑時，我們的處理方式是
紀念碑時，我們的處理方式是
05:55
by flooding the city with them,
100
343941
2104
用一大堆紀念碑把城市淹沒，
05:58
and, with all these works,
101
346655
2180
而這些方式
06:00
to trigger dialogue,
understanding and direct action.
understanding and direct action.
102
348859
3418
都促成了對話、了解，
以及直接的行動。
以及直接的行動。
06:06
Sometimes, when I talk about
taking risks and trying and failing
taking risks and trying and failing
103
354534
4261
每當我在人權運動中談論到
我們所經歷的風險、努力、失敗時，
我們所經歷的風險、努力、失敗時，
06:10
in the context of human rights,
104
358819
1771
06:12
I meet raised eyebrows,
105
360614
2333
我都能從人們的眉眼之間裡看到，
06:15
eyebrows that say, "How irresponsible,"
106
363639
3233
「真不負責任」的政府
06:18
or, "How insensitive."
107
366896
2017
或「真沒同理心」的罪犯。
06:21
People often mistake play for negligence.
108
369567
3727
大家通常會誤把玩樂當作不正經。
06:25
It is not.
109
373318
1299
然而並不是。
06:28
Play doesn't just grow our armies stronger
or spark better ideas.
or spark better ideas.
110
376218
4812
玩樂不僅讓我們的軍隊成長茁壯，
為更棒的點子擦出火花。
為更棒的點子擦出火花。
06:33
In times of painful injustice,
111
381741
2431
在不公正的痛苦時刻，
06:36
play brings the levity we need
to be able to breathe.
to be able to breathe.
112
384196
3035
玩樂能帶給我們輕鬆，
讓我們能夠呼吸。
讓我們能夠呼吸。
06:39
When we play, we live.
113
387850
2462
當我們玩樂時，我們是在過生活。
06:45
I grew up in a time
114
393907
2301
在我成長的時代，
06:48
when all play was forbidden.
115
396232
1909
所有玩樂都是被禁止的。
06:51
My family's lives were crushed
by a communist dictatorship.
by a communist dictatorship.
116
399387
3272
共產主義的獨裁，
奪走了我家人的性命。
奪走了我家人的性命。
06:55
For my aunt, my grandfather, my father,
117
403923
3797
對於我的姑姑、
我的祖父、我的父親，
我的祖父、我的父親，
06:59
we always held two funerals:
118
407744
2473
我們都會辦兩場喪禮：
一場是為他們逝世而辦，
一場是為他們逝世而辦，
07:02
one for their bodies,
119
410241
1376
07:03
but, years before that,
120
411641
1543
但去世之前的數年，
還為他們的夢辦了另一場。
還為他們的夢辦了另一場。
07:05
one for their dreams.
121
413208
1583
07:07
Some of my biggest dreams are nightmares.
122
415657
3737
我最大的那些夢當中，有許多是惡夢。
07:12
I have a nightmare that one day
all the past will be forgotten
all the past will be forgotten
123
420685
4274
我有個惡夢，害怕有一天
所有的過去會被遺忘，
所有的過去會被遺忘，
07:16
and new clothes will be dripping
the blood of past mistakes.
the blood of past mistakes.
124
424983
3245
新衣裳會再次染上過去之血。
07:21
I have a nightmare
125
429546
1975
我有個惡夢，
07:23
that one day the lighthouses
of our humanity will crumble,
of our humanity will crumble,
126
431545
3480
某天人性的燈塔會粉碎，
07:27
corroded by acid waves of hate.
127
435049
2276
被一波又一波的仇恨給侵蝕了。
07:30
But way more than that,
128
438301
