艾玛沃特森演讲全文(中英双语)

Thank you all for being here for this important moment.These men from all over the world have decided to make gender equality a priority in their lives and in their universities.Thank you for making this commitment.非常感谢你们能在此见证这样一个重要的时刻。这些来自世界各地的人们已经决定把性别平权作为他们人生当中和大学校园里的一个重要议题。感谢你们的付出。

I graduated from university four years ago.I had always dreamed of going, and I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to do so.四年前，我大学毕业。我曾经一直梦想着自己可以去大学读书，并庆幸自己能有机会实现。

Brown became my home, my community, and I took the ideas and the experiences I had there into all of my social interactions, into my work place, into my politics, into all aspects of my life.I know that my university experience shaped who I am.And of course it does for many people.布朗大学成为了我的家，我的归属。我把我在布朗大学里的想法和经历贯彻到我的社交、工作、政治以及生活的方方面面。我知道我在大学时期的经历塑造了今天的自己。当然，很多人都是如此。

But what if our experience in university shows us that women don't belong in leadership? What if it shows us that, yes, women can study, but they shouldn't lead a seminar? What if, as still in many places around the world, it tells us that women don't belong there at all? What if, as is the case in far too many universities, we are given the message that sexual violence isn't actually a form of violence?

但是，如果大学告诉我们女性不能成为领袖;告诉我们是的，女性可以求学，但不能主持研讨会;告诉我们，就像世界上很多地区仍然表现的那样，女性根本不能上大学;像太多校园里的情况那样，让我们接受性暴力其实不属于暴力，我们该怎么办?

But, we know that if you change students' experiences so that they have different expectations of the world around them, expectations of equality, society will change.但是我们知道，如果大学改变了学生的经历，让他们对周遭的世界、对男女平等有了不同的期待，那么整个社会就将改变。

As we leave home for the first time to study at the places that we have worked so hard to get, we must not see or experience double standards.We need to see equal respect, leadership and pay.当我们第一次离开家去千辛万苦考取的学校求学时，我们不应当目睹和经历双重标准。我们应该看到同等的尊重、领导力和回报。The university experience must tell women that their brain power is valued, and not just that, but that they belong within the leadership of the university itself.大学不仅要告诉女性她们的头脑是有价值的，还要告诉她们在大学里女性也可以成为领袖人物。

And so importantly right now, the experience must make it clear, that the safety of women, minorities, and anyone who may be vulnerable is a right, not a privilege.现如今同样重要的是，大学必须清楚地让学生知道：女性、少数族群和其他弱势群体的安全问题绝不是特权，而是他们的基本权利。

A right that will be respected by a community that believes and supports survivors, and that recognizes that when one person's safety is violated, everyone feels their own safety is violated.这种基本权利将被一个支持幸存者并且相信若某一人的安全被侵犯，所有人都感同身受的社会所尊重。

A university should be a place of refuge that takes action against all forms of violence.That's why we believe that students should leave university believing in, striving for and expecting societies of true equality.Society of true equality in every sense.And universities have the power to be a vital catalyst for that change.大学应该是一个反对各种暴力行为的庇护所。这就是为什么我们认为一个离开大学的毕业生应该坚信且期待一个真正平等的社会，并为之努力奋斗。真正的平等应该体现在社会各个方面，大学有能力成为这种变革的重要加速器。

Our ten impact champions have made this commitment and with their work, we know that they will inspire students, and other universities and schools across the world to do better.我们的十位影响力冠军为此做出了巨大贡献。通过他们的工作，我们知道他们将会激励学生和世界上其他的大学和学院做得更好。

I am delighted to introduce this report on our progress, and I am eager to hear what's next.Thank you so much.我很高兴能够引荐这个进展报告，也非常期待他们接下来的展示。非常感谢。

Thank you so much!

非常感谢你们!

Emma Watson联合国女权主义会议演讲

英文演讲稿

以下这篇英文演讲稿是美国著名女演员emma watson在联合国女权主义演讲原文，由应届毕业生演讲稿网站整理提供，希望大家能够喜欢。

today we are launching a campaign called “he for she.”

i am reaching out to you because i need your help.we want to end gender inequality—andto do that we need everyone to be involved.this is the first campaign of its kind at the un: we want to try and galvanize as manymen and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality.and we don’t just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible.i was appointed six months ago and the more i have spoken about feminism, the more i have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.if there is one thing i know for certain, it is that this has to stop.for the record, feminism by definition is: “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.it is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.”

i started questioning gender-based assumptions when at eight i was confused at being called “bossy,” because i wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not.when at 14, i started being sexualized by certain elements of the press.when at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn’t want to appear “muscly.”

when at1 8, my male friends were unable to express their feelings.i decided i was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me.but my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word.apparently, i am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and, unattractive.why is the word such an uncomfortable one?

i am from britain and think it is right that as a woman i am paid the same as my male counterparts.i think it is right that i should be able to make decisions about my own body.i think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country.i thinkit is right that socially i am afforded the same respect as men.but sadly i can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.no country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender rights i consider to be human rights but i am one of the lucky ones.my life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because i was born a daughter.my school did not limit me because i was a girl.my mentors didn’t assume i would go less far because i might give birth to a child one day.these influencers were the gender equality ambassadors that made who i am today.they may not know it, but they are the inadvertent feminists who are.and we need more of those.and if you still hate the word—it is not the word that is important but the idea and the ambition behind it.because not all women have been afforded the same rights that i have.in fact, statistically, very few have been.in 1997, hilary clinton made a famous speech in beijing about women’s rights.sadly many of the things she wanted to change are still a reality today.but what stood out for me the most was that only 30 percent of her audience were male.how can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?

men—i would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation.gender equality is your issue too.because today, i’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society despite my needing his presence as a child as much as my mother’s.i’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness unable to ask for help for fear itwould make them look less “macho”—in fact in the uk suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20-49;eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease.i’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success.men don’t have the benefits of equality either.we don’to ften talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but i can see that that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as anatural consequence.if men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won’t feel compelled to be submissive.if men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.both men and women should feel free to be sensitive.both men and women should feel free to be strong… it is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as twoopposing sets of ideals.if we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are—we can all be freer and this is what heforshe is about.it’s about freedom.i want men to take up this mantle.so their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too—reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be amore true and complete version of themselves.you might be thinking who is this harry potter girl? and what is she doing up on stage atthe un.it’s a good question and trust me i have been asking myself the samething.i don’t know if i am qualified to be here.all i know is that i care about this problem.and i want to make it better.and having seen what i’ve seen—and given the chance—i feel it is my duty to say something.english statesman edmund burke said: “all that is needed for the forces of evilto triumph is for enough good men and women to do nothing.”

in my nervousness for this speech and in my moments of doubt i’ve told myself firmly—if not me, who, if not now, when.if you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you i hope those words might be helpful.because the reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or for me to be nearlya hundred before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same million girls will be married in the next 16 years as children.and at current rates it won’t be until 2086 before all rural african girls will be able to receive a secondary education.if you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists i spoke ofearlier.and for this i applaud you.we are struggling for a uniting word but the good news is we have a uniting movement.it is called heforshe.i am inviting you to step forward, to be seen to speakup, to be the he for she.and to ask yourself if not me, who, if not now when.thank you.

第三篇：艾玛沃特森在联合国女权主义演讲

《哈利波特》中赫敏的扮演者、联合国妇女亲善大使艾玛•沃森在2014年9月20日纽约联合国总部为“他为她”运动举行的特别活动上的演讲。Actress Emma Watson's plea for equality winsmen's support

Today we are launching a campaign called “He For She.”

I am reaching out to you because I need your help.We want to end gender inequality—and to do that we need everyone to be involved.This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN: we want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates（提倡者）for gender equality.And we don’t

want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible.（有形的）

今天，我们启动了一项名为“他为她”的运动。

我向你伸出手，因为我需要你的帮助。我们希望终结性别不平等——为此，我们需要所有人都参与其中。这是联合国同类运动中的第一项：我们希望努力并激励尽可能多的男人和男孩倡导性别平等。而且希望这（性别平等）不只是空谈，而是确确实实的看得见摸得着。

I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism

the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.For the record, feminism by definition

is:“The belief that men and women should have equal rightsand（人权）

opportunities.It is the theory of the political, economic and social

equality of the sexes.”

六个月前，我被任命为联合国妇女亲善大使。而随着我谈论女权主义越多，我越发现，“争取女性权益”太容易被当作是“憎恨男人”的同义词。如果说有一件事是我确实知道的，那就是，这样的误解必须停止。

必须郑重声明，女权主义的定义是：“相信男性和女性应该拥有平等权利和机会。它是性别间政治、经济和社会平等的理论。”

I started questioning gender-based assumptions

when at eight I was confused at being called“bossy,” because I wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not.When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the press.When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn’t want to appear “muscly.”

When at 18 my male friends were unable to express their feelings.8岁时，我开始质疑某些基于性别的假设。我不明白，为什么我想在为家长上演的戏剧里担任导演，就会被说成“专横”，而男孩们则不会； 14岁时，我开始被媒体报道的某些元素性别化；

15岁时，我的女性朋友们开始退出各自的运动队，因为她们不希望显得“肌肉发达”；

18岁时，我的男性朋友们无法表达他们的感受。

I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me.But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word.Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men unattractive even.Why has the world become such an uncomfortable one? 我认为自己是一名女权主义者，这（身份认定）对我来说并不难。但我最近的调查发

现，女权主义已经成为一个不受欢迎的词。

显然，我成了那些言辞看起来过于强势、过于激进、孤立、反男性、不吸引人的女性行列中的一员。

为什么这个世界如此令人不安？

I am from Britain and think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts.I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body.I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my life.I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men.But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality.我来自英国，我认为身为女性，我应该和男性同行获得一样的报酬。我认为我应该自己为自己的身体做决定。我认为应该有女性代表我参与政治，以及我的国家的决策制定。我认为在社会上，我应该和男性获得相同的尊重。但遗憾的是，世界上没有一个国家能使所有的女性都能获得上述权利。

世界上没有一个国家能说，他们已经实现了性别平等。

（中间一大段去掉......）

If you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists I spoke of earlier.And for this I applaud you.We are struggling for a uniting world but the good news is we have a uniting movement.It is called

He For She.I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen。

And to ask yourself if not me, who, if not now when.Thank you very very much

如果你相信平等，你可能是我前头说到的那些无心的女权主义者的一员。

为此，我为你鼓掌喝彩。我们正在努力争取一个团结的世界，好消息是，我们已经有了一个团结的运动。它叫做“他为她”。我邀请你站出来，展示自己，畅所欲言，成为一个为女性权益奋斗的男性。以及，问自己：如果不是我，那又该是谁；如果不是现在，那又该是何时！

非常谢谢。

第四篇：Feminism女权主义演讲稿

Feminism 袁

Good morning, everyone.It’s my honor to stand here to give a presentation to you all.As you know, recently, Hillary Clinton has just announced that she would campaign for 2016 president of America.So that we find out the status of women in politics increased significantly.So there comes a new conception, feminism.And today, our group will introduce you this, maybe to you,strange topic.So our presentation has 3 parts, and I’m in charge of the first.Perhaps you would ask,why we talk about feminism? What’s the importance of that? I want to tell you a story.In 2012,December 16th,a college girl named Joyti Singh from new Delhi, the capital of India, went in a personal bus at 9 o’clock, after watching a movie, with a male friend.Just in this horrible bus , unfortunately, she was raped by 6 men and they even tortured her.Then she died soon in a hospital.After she died, however, one of criminal said like that, you can’t clap with one hand.It takes two hands to clap.A decent girl won’t roam around at 9 o’clock at night.A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy.This girl was only 23 years old.This event set off a huge protest.People prayed for her and fight for the justice and woman’s right.Joyti Singh was then called India’s daughter.We can’t help thinking, why could such a thing happen in this civilized world? What’s exactly the meaning of a woman? Moreover, a more inhuman act still exist in some parts of Africa, which is female circumcision.This brutal act brings a lot of hurt to young women.That’s why we talk about feminism.So what’s the feminism? Please have my partner continue.Thank you.王

Now, as you see, this symbol represents feminism.It is based on Venus symbol.A Venus symbol is just like this.And there is a fist in the central, which means woman’s right.So how does feminism develop in history? Firstly, let’s look at western feminism.In the history of human society, the concept of human rights has been 200 years of history, but it does not include the feminist.We all know that there is quite a lot empresses in western history.So maybe status of women in the west is higher.In 1971, a great woman, Olympe de Gouges who wrote thedeclaration of rights of woman appealed for feminism initialy.And then, there came more feminist literatures.As known, Jane Austin and Bronte sisters.They are female writers and wrote books about women mainly.Jane Austin wrote Pride and prejudice.Jane Eyre, Gone with wind and Wuthering Heights by brontes.Until 19,20 century,women started the feminist movement and to fight for political rights.Many countries won the rights of vote for women.And now, we are all familiar with the iron lady, Margaret Thatcher and Hillary Clinton.While back in China, feminism has a tougher development.This is our ancient women and what they believed in.Maybe ridiculous for now, right? We did have some powerful women, like 吕后，武则天，慈禧.But they were not accepted by the traditional views of society.After 1912, as society developed, feminism improved a lot, too.Women started to aquire education and advanced ideas.So we know such a lot progressive females, such as Song sisters, Qiujin and so on.And then, how is feminism like today? I’d love to let my another partner to introduce.Thank you all.贾

Thank my partners for paving the way for me.From their presentation, you may get a general idea about feminism.However, you may ask, we are living in this relatively stable community, we girls don’t really worry about go out at night or horrible bodily harm.And historic great women have strived for lots of rights.Maybe we are satisfied.We don’t need feminism at all.But does not female discrimination really exist in China? Actually, our fights for women are not enough yet.Since ancient times, women are not allowed to take part in politics.Even now, men has an absolute advantage in politics.Furthermore, woman’s career is harder than men’s all the time.What’s more, the social status of woman is always below that of man.In our culture, while a high-educated woman is under the pressure of public opinion.Why do people have a total different attitude towards a man and a woman who are in the same situation.We always pay attention to leftover women but never say leftover men.Similarly, social perspective to a woman who has a successful career is more in her personal life, maybe her unsuccessful marriage, instead of her work.Are women only able to help the husband and take care of children at home? I think it is right that women should get as same respect as men.But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.Do you guys know her? This is Emma Watson.Perhaps you don’t.But you must know this.And now, she is a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.And she launched a campaign called “HeForShe” in 2014,which is a wide feminism movement.She points out that the definition of feminism is: “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.”

In my opinion, the biggest obstacle of Chinese feminism is women ourselves.We girls are supposed to clearly recognize the importance of struggle for feminism and really do something for it.Also, boys—I would like to take this opportunity to invite your join.Gender equality is your issue too.We want to try and encourage as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality.I suppose you guys, boys or girls, would believe the equality and freedom.You are going to be fathers and mothers.You are going to teach your children.You have the responsibility to tell next generation that whether you are a boy or a girl, you should fight for a uniting and equal world!That’s all what I want to say.Thanks for your listening.Thank you all.

第五篇：Emma Watson在联合国关于女权主义的讲话(中英)

All that is need for theforces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.--Edmund Burke

Today we are launching a campaign（called “HeForShe”.I am reaching out to you because we need your help.We want to end gender inequality, and to do this, we need everyone involved.This is the first campaign of this kind in the UN, We want to try to mobilize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.We don’t just want to talk about it.We want to try and make sure that it’s tangible.今天，我们发起了HeForShe的活动，希望每个人都能知道，因为我们需要你们的帮助。我们想要结束性别不平等，为了达到这个目的，我们需要所有人参与。这也是联合国第一次此类活动。我们必须动员尽可能多的男性朋友，成为变化的响应者。我们不要纸上谈兵，我们需要确信我们倡导的变化是可行的。I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women 6 months ago.半年前，我被联合国妇女署任命为亲善大使。

The more I spoke about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.If there is one thing I know for certain is that this has to stop.For the record, feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.It is the theory of political, economic and social equality of the sexes.我发现越多地提及“女权主义”，越容易被人们误解为对男性的厌恶。我认为这样的理解必须改变。“女权主义”正式的解释是：女性应该拥有和男性同等的权力和机会。这是两性在政治、经济和社会平等中都适用的理论。

I started questioning gender-based assumption a long time ago.When I was 8, I was confused being called bossy because I wanted to direct a play that we were put on for our parents, but the boys were not.When I was 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media.At 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of a lot of sports teams because they didn’t want to appear masculine.At 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings.很久以前我就开始质疑性别带来的主管臆断。在我还是8岁的时候，我被家人形容为“专横的”，这让我感到困惑，因为我想主导某些父母扮演的角色，但男生不会。在我15岁的时候，我的女性朋友不再想加入运动队因为她们不想变得太强壮。18岁时，我的男性朋友无法很好地表达他们自己的感受。

I decided that I was a feminist.This seemed uncomplicated to me.But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word.Women are choosing not to identify as feminists.Apparently, I’m among the rank of women whose expression is seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men, unattractive even.我当时就决定我要做一个“女权主义者”。这对我来说不复杂。但我最近的研究告诉我“女权主义”变成不受欢迎的词汇了。妇女都选择回避承认自己是一个“女权主义者”。显然，我是属于那种被认为言辞太激烈、太具侵略性、孤立、反男性化，甚至是不受欢迎的女性。

Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I’m from Britain and I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts.I think it is right that I should make decisions about my own body.I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life.I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.为什么“女权主义”这个词汇变得如此不受欢迎？我认为在一样的岗位上我有权获得和男性同样的报酬，我有权决定对自己的身体负责，我以自己的名义呼吁，女性有权参政、或做出影响一生的决定是理所当然，我认为在社交中女性有权获得和男性一样的尊重。

But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights.No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality.These rights, I considered to be human rights, but I am one of the lucky ones.但遗憾的是，到目前为止还没有哪个国家的女性拥有如上所述的权力和尊重，没有哪个国家可以说达到了真正的男女平等，这些我认为本该是人类的基本权力，（在这点上）我算是十分幸运的一个。

My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter.My school did not limit me because I was a girl.My mentors didn’t assume that I would go less far because I might give birth to a child one day.These influences were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today.They may not know it but they are the inadvertent feminists who are changing the world today.We need more of those.我的生活十分优越，因为我的父母并没有因为我是个女孩儿而少爱我一些，我所在的学校没有因为我是女孩儿而限制我的发展，我的导师并没有因为今后我可能生育而看低了我的前途。这些性别平等使者的影响成就了现在的我。也许他们并没有意识到，但他们就是现今世界需要的“女权主义者”。我们需要更多这样的人。And if you still hate the word, it is not the word that is important.It is the idea and the ambition behind it because not all women received the same rights I have.In fact, statistically, very few have being.词语本身并不重要，重要的是这个词背后隐含的理想和抱负，因为还不是所有女性都获得了我现在拥有的权力。事实上，这样的人数非常少。

In 1997, Hillary Clinton made a famous speech in Beijing about women’s rights.Sadly, many of the things that she wanted to change are still true today.But what stood out for me the most, was that less than 30% of the audiences were male.How can we effect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation? 1997年，希拉里克林顿在北京做了一个关于女性权力的演讲。可惜的是，她当时想要改变的东西到现在依然是普遍现象。在现场的男性观众还不到30%，当只有不到一半人受邀或者愿意参与对话，我们怎么可能改变世界？

Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend you a formal invitation.Gender equality is your issue, too.Because to date, I’ve seen my father’s role as a parent being valued less by society, despite my need his presence as a child as much as my mother’s.I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it will make them less of a man, or less of men.In fact, in the U.K, suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20-49, road accidents, cancer, and coronary heart disease.I’ve seen men may fragile and insecure by distorted sense of what constitutes male success.Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either.男性同胞们，我想就此机会向你们发出邀请，性别同等也是你们的责任。因为至今，我看到我父亲作为家长的价值被社会低估了，因为他的存在对幼小的我来说和母亲的作用同样重要。我看到年轻的男性内心十分痛苦，他们害怕求助，因为这样会被认为是缺乏男子汉气概。事实上，在英国，自杀是20-49岁男性最大死因，超过了交通事故、癌症以及冠心病。我看到不少男性被扭曲的成功男性的看法所困扰。男性也同样无法享受平等的利益。

We don’t want to talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereo types but I can see that they are.When they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence.If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t be compelled to be submissive.If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.我们不想谈论男性也被传统的性别观念束缚了，但他们的确是这样。当他们的想法被解放了，女性问题也会自然而然地改善。如果男性不是那么强势，女性也不比如此卑躬屈膝，如果男性不再掌控一切，女性也不需惟命是从。

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive, both men and women should be free to be strong.It is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals.If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by who we are, we can all be freer and this is what “HeForShe” is about.It’s about freedom.I want men to take up this mantle, so their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice.But also so their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human, too.We claim those part of themselves they abandoned, and in doing so, be a more true and complete version of themselves.无论是男是女，我们都可以很感性，也可以很强大，是时候把性别问题看成是一件事而不是相对的两个概念。我们不能再互相定义我们是什么样的人（而不该是什么样的），而应该自己定义自己是谁，我们都可以从中获得自由，这也是HeForShe存在的意义，这是关乎自由的。我呼吁男性负起这份责任，让他们的女儿、姐妹和母亲们不再受到偏见的困扰，更让他们的儿子也有脆弱并且人性的一面。我们希望夺回他们遗弃的这部分，这样，他们才能展现自己最真实最完整的自己。

You might be thinking: who is this Harry Potter girl? What is she doing at the UN? I’ve been asking myself at the same thing.All I know is that I care about this problem and I want to make it better.And having seen what I’ve seen and given the chance, I feel my responsibility to say something.Statesman Edmund Burke said all that is need for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.也许你会想：这个“哈利波特女孩”是谁？她在联合国做什么？我也在问自己同样的问题。我只知道的是我关心“女权问题”并且希望改善它。当我看到了我所见并且被给予了这样一个发言的机会，我觉得我有责任说些什么。政治家Edmund Burke说过这样一句话：要获得邪恶的力量，只需优秀的男女碌碌无为。

In my nervousness for this speech and in my moment of doubt, I told myself firmly: If not me, who? If not now, when? If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you, I hope those words would be helpful.Because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take 75 years, or for me it will be nearly 100 before women can be expected to be paid as same as men for the same work.15.5 million girls will be married in the 16 years as children.At current rate, it will be until 2086 before all rural African girls can have secondary education.If you believe in equality, you might be those inadvertent feminist that I spoken earlier, and for this, I applaud you.We are struggling for a uniting world, but the good news is we have a uniting movement.It is called “he for she”.I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen and to ask yourself: if not me, who? If not now, when? Thank you.
