尊敬的秘书长阁下,大会主席阁下,妇女署执行主任阁下,以及尊贵的来宾们:
今天我们将启动一项HeForShe的倡议活动。
此番演讲是为了获得您的支持,能让我们一起行动终结性别不平等。实现这个目标需要每个人的参与。
这次活动开创了联合国发起同类活动的先河。我们希望号召更多的男人和男孩们,加入到寻求改变的倡导者行列。我们并非开了一张空头支票,而是全力以赴,确保目标达成。
六个月前,我被任命为联合国妇女署的亲善大使,但我越是提及女权主义,就越是意识到争取女性权益往往跟仇视男性混为一谈。我认为停止这种认识是当务之急。我在此声明,就定义而言,女权主义是一种信念,它告诉我们男女应该具有同等的权利和机遇。这也是政治、经济以及社会的性别平等理论。
很久之前我就开始质疑种种基于性别的案例。当我8岁时,因为我想给家长们编排演出就被斥为“专横”,而男孩不会受到同样的指责;当我14岁时,某些媒体捕风捉影地暗示公众我的形象过于性感;当我15岁时,我的女性朋友们纷纷退出了她们心爱的运动队,因为她们不希望看起来肌肉发达;当我18岁时,我的男性朋友们无法自如的表达他们的情感。那时起我就义无反顾地决定成为一位女权主义者。
但我近期的调查表明,女权主义已经变为一个不受欢迎的词汇,女人们不愿意被认为是女权主义者。很显然我被列为那类女性,措辞强硬,过于激进,自我封闭,一味反对男性,甚至缺乏魅力。
为何这个词已经让人感到如此反感?
我来自英国,我认为我应该获得与男性同行同等的待遇,我认为我应该拥有自主支配自己身体的权利,我认为女性应该代表我参与到能影响我生活的政策制定中,我认为在这个社WFLA

会上我也能赢得与男性同样的尊重。可遗憾的是,世界上任何一个国家的女性群体都未能完全拥有这些权利,至今无一国家能断言,他们已经实现了性别平等。而这些权利,我认为就是人权。
但我无疑是幸运的,我一直享受着特殊待遇,因为我的父母并没有因为我身为女儿就减少对我的关爱,我就读的学校也没有因为我是女孩就加以限制,我的导师也没有因为我日后将成为人母而不对我给予厚望。这些影响我的人们正如推广性别平等的大使一般,是他们成就了今天的我,也许他们并没有察觉,但他们就是那些“无心插柳”的女权主义者们。我们需要更多的这类人。如果你仍然厌恶这个词,那么其实词本身不重要,重要的是词背后传递的理念和愿景,因为并不是所有女性都拥有和我一样的权利。事实上,从数据上看,只有很少一部分女性拥有这样的权利。
1997年,希拉里克林顿在北京就女性权利发表了一次著名的演讲,遗憾的是很多当时她力求改变的情况至今仍然存在。同时,我也留意到,当时的男性观众少于30%的事实。当世界上只有一半的人口受到邀请并鼓励参与其中,我们又怎能奢望改变这个世界呢?
男同胞们,我想借此机会向你们发出正式邀请,性别平等也是你们的议题。比如,我发现,尽管在孩童时代父母的关爱对孩子同样重要,但今时今日,作为家长,父亲的角色正被社会所轻视。我看到年轻男性正遭受着心理疾病的折磨而无法向外寻求帮助,因为他们害怕这样看起来不男人,被人瞧不起。
事实上在英国,自杀已经超越交通事故,癌症和冠心病,成为20到49岁男性的头号杀手。我目睹了男人们因为“成功男士”这样偏狭的标签观念而变得脆弱和缺乏安全感,男人一样没能享受到平等带来的福利。
我们不常谈到男性,其实他们同样遭受着性别刻板印象的禁锢,但我察觉到:当他们不受束缚时,女性的状况就会自然而改变。如果男人不需要通过表现攻击性来获得认同,那么WFLA

女人就不用逼迫自己显得顺从;如果男人没必要实时掌控,那么女人也就不需要随时听命于掌控。不管是男是女都可以放任自己的敏感细腻,不管是男是女都可以培养自己的坚强无畏。因此,如今我们应该用更大的视野看待性别,而不是两套对立的规范。
如果我们能不再通过消减异性的特征来定义自己,而开始正视自己所拥有的一切特质,我们都将变得更自由,这就是HeForShe的意义所在,它与每个人的自由息息相关。
我希望男同胞们能传承这样的信念,那么他们的女儿们,姐妹们和母亲们都会免于遭受歧视,同时他们的儿子们也有权利释放自己的脆弱和更人性化的一面。我们珍视他们所抛弃掉的那一部分人性,这样做是为了他们能够保留更为真实和完整的人性。
你也许会问,这个哈利波特里的女孩是干嘛的,她怎么会来联合国发表演说,这真是个好问题。我也曾反复问自己同样的问题,我只知道自己确实关心这个问题,也想尽绵薄之力改善现状,既然亲眼见到了这样的现状也获得这样的机会,我自觉有责任说些什么。
政治家埃德蒙.伯克曾说过:“邪恶压制正义只需要善良的男男女女们坐视不理,无动于衷。”在我为演讲忐忑不安的时候,在我怀疑自己的时候,我坚定的告诉自己,我不挺身,更待何人,此时无为,更待何时。如果当你面前有这样的机会,而你也有困惑的话,我希望这句话能对你有所帮助。因为,如果我们无所作为,那要等上75年,对我来说甚至是将近100年,才能期待男性和女性实现同工同酬。接下来的十六年里将有1550万女孩,尚未成年就被迫嫁做人妇,而按照现在的进度,要直到2086年才能让所有的非洲女童都接受中等教育。如果你怀有平等的信念,那你就可能是我之前提过的那些“无心插柳”的女权主义者。如果是这样,我会为你鼓掌。
我们仍在为天下大同而奋战,但好消息是我们现在就有一个大一统的行动,这就是HeForShe。我诚邀你们,挺身而出,扪心自问:我不挺身,更待何人,此时无为,更待何时。WFLA

春华秋实,薪火相传
——世外中学十五周年校庆校长演讲
罗佩明
校长
各位来宾,各位同学:
今天是一个特别的日子,十五年前的今天,一所新型的学校在上海呱呱坠地;今天是一个喜庆的日子,十五年后的今天,我们的学校已是一位玉树临风的少年;
今天,各位从上海的各个角落汇聚于此,共同见证我们的成长,分享我们的喜悦。
十五年,在历史的长河中,仅是弹指一挥间;在学校的创业者看来,这期间,有喜、有忧、有失意、有希望,有难尽人意的纠结,但更多的是欣慰,是目送着世外的学子一批批地走出校门,迈向世界的幸福感。
十五年来,我们要感谢很多人。我们要感谢多年来关心学校的各届人士;我们要感谢多年来信任、支持学校的学生及其家长;但我们更要感谢的是在校辛勤耕耘、无私奉献的众位教师。这里有长年坚守在教学一线的老教师,也有刚入校门的朝气蓬勃的新教师,更有那些因种种原因离开学校,甚至已离开人世的曾经的世外教师们,我们对他们心怀感激!
曾经有一部电视专题片《教育真能改变吗?》引发人们对教育的又一次热议。确实,教育或许并不能改变什么,它不能提供房子、车子等实质性的物质,但是教育又确实能改变着、影响着、塑造着人们。当我们的学生离开校园,即使毕业数年,即使去国万里,但世外学子身上的爱心、优雅、大气,是他们身上一生都难以抹灭的世外印记。
记得曾看到一篇初三作文的题目《不易》,不禁心有所动。世外中学能走到今天,确实有太多的不易。真希望世外积极参与、努力实践的校训能一直传承下去,真希望我们的学校能一直迈步走在国际化教育的前沿。
最后,谨以史蒂夫.乔布斯的一句话作结——You’ve got to find what you love.你须寻得所爱。十五年来,我把我的爱付与了学生,留在了世外。
我爱学生!
我爱世外!
谢谢大家!
第二篇:艾玛沃特森联合国演讲
艾玛沃特森联合国演讲
Speech by UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson at a special event for the HeForShe campaign, United Nations Headquarters, New York, 20 September
2014 Your excellences, UN Secretary-General, president of the General Assembly, executive Director of UN Women and distinguished guests it is an honour for me tobe here today.Today we are launching a campaign called “HeForShe.”
I am reaching out to you because I need your help.We want to end gender inequality—and to do that we need everyone 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 for change.And we don’t just want to talk about it, we want to try and make sure that it is tangible.I was appointed as goodwill ambassador for UN women 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 a long time ago.When I was 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 media.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.I decided that I was a feminist and 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 am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men, unattractive, even.Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain andIthink 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 decisions that willaffect my life.I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men.But sadly I can
艾玛沃特森联合国演讲
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 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 changing the world today.We need more of those.And if you still hate the word—it is not the word that is important, it’s the idea and the ambition behind it, because not all women have received 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 true today.But what stood out for me the most was that less than 30 percent of her audiences 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 to date, 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 it would make them less “of a man” or less of “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’t often 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 a natural 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 instead of two sets of opposing ideals.If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by
艾玛沃特森联合国演讲
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 that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too—reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves.You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl? And what is she doing speaking at the UN.And it’s a really good question.I have been asking myself 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 it is my responsibilityto say something.Statesman Edmund Burke said: “All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for 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 that those words might be helpful.Because the reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or for me to be nearly a hundred before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work.15.5 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 can have a secondary education.If you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists that 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 HeForShe.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.艾玛沃特森联合国演讲
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。
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。”
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[微博]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。
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。
为什么这个词如此令人不安? 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。
这些权利,我认为是每个人都该享有,然而(事实是)我只是众多幸运儿中的一个。我的生活是完完全全的特例,因为我的父母没有因为我生为女儿而减少对我的爱,我的学校没有因为我是女孩而限制我,我的导师没有因为我将来可能要生孩子而认为我会走不远。这些影响了我的人,都是性别平等大使,是他们造就了今天的我。他们也许并不知道,但他们是无心的女权主义者。而我们现在,则需要更多这样的人。所以,如果你仍然憎恨这个词——重要的不是这个词,而是它背后的想法和抱负。因为并不是所有女性都能够享有我所拥有的权利。事实上,从统计数据看,真的非常少。
1997年,希拉里克林顿在北京做了一个关于女性权益的着名演讲。很遗憾,很多她希望改变的事实今天仍存在。
我注意到,听众里只有30%是男性。当只有世界上的一半的人参与并融入这场对话时,我们怎么可能做出影响世界的改变?
艾玛沃特森联合国演讲
男人们——我希望利用这个机会正式的邀请你们加入。性别平等也与你们有关。因为到目前为止,我看到,我父亲作为家长所发挥的作用被社会所低估,虽然作为孩子,我所需要的他的陪伴和我需要母亲的一样多。
我看到,年轻男性因为害怕自己显得不够“男子汉大丈夫”,从而在承受心理困扰时窘于寻求帮助——事实上,在英国,自杀已经是20-49岁男性的第一死亡原因,比交通事故、癌症和冠心病造成的死亡都多。我看到,男人因为对男性成功的扭曲理解而感到脆弱和不安全。性别不平等对男性也没有好处。
我们并不常谈及男人因为性别刻板印象而入狱,不过我可以看到,事情真是这样。并且当他们自由时,女性的境遇也会自然发生变化。
如果男性不再为了被认可而变得强势好斗,女性也不会再感到被迫逆来顺受。如果男性不再被迫掌控一切,女性也不会再被迫受掌控。
男人和女人都可以敏感;男人和女人都可以强壮„„是时候把性别理解为光谱,而不是南辕北辙的两派。
如果我们不再把对方定义为自己的对立面,而是把对方定义为我们的一员——我们都会更加自由。这就是“他为她”运动所倡导的。这就是自由。
我希望男性负起这个责任。这样他们的女儿、姐妹和母亲都能够拥有免于偏见的自由,同时,他们的儿子也能被允许脆弱和感性——拥有这些他们曾经摈弃的特质,他们才是更真实和完整的自己。
你可能会想,这个从《哈利波特》里走出的姑娘是谁?她在联合国的讲台上做什么?这是一个好问题。相信我,我也问过自己相同的问题。我不知道我是否够格站在这里。我所知道的是我关心这个问题。我希望它能变好。
同时,因为我目睹过那些事情——并且我又有机会——我感到自己有责任说些什么。英国政治家埃德蒙德?伯克曾说:“恶势力要想取胜很容易,只要足够多的、善良的男人和女人们什么都不做就可以了。”
当我为这次演讲感到紧张和疑虑时,我坚定的告诉自己——如果不是我,那又该是谁;如果不是现在,那又该是何时?如果当你面对机会时也有类似的疑虑,希望这些话能对你有所帮助。
因为现实是,如果我们什么也不做,那么女性实现与男性同工同酬需要花上75年,而要我说,这恐怕得花上几乎一百年。1550万女孩会在未来16年被迫童婚。同时,按现在的发展速度,在2086年以前,非洲农村都无法实现所有女孩都能接受中等教育。
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!谢谢。

我们任在为天下大同而奋战,但好消息是我们现在就有一个打一统的行动,这就是HeForShe。我诚邀你们,挺身而出扪心自问,我不挺身,更待何人,此时无为,更待何时。
第四篇:艾玛沃特森联合国演讲稿英文 完整版
Speech by UN Women Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson at a special event for the HeForShe campaign, United Nations Headquarters, New
York, 20 September 2014 Your excellences, UN Secretary-General, president of the General Assembly, executive Director of UN Women and distinguished guests it is an honour for me tobe here today.Today we are launching a campaign called “HeForShe.”
I am reaching out to you because I need your help.We want to end gender inequality—and to do that we need everyone 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 for change.And we don’t just want to talk about it, we want to try and make sure that it is tangible.I was appointed as goodwill ambassador for UN women 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 a long time ago.When I was 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 media.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.I decided that I was a feminist and 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 am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, and anti-men, unattractive, even.Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I am 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 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 decisions that will affect 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 that they have achieved gender equality.These 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 changing the world today.We need more of those.And if you still hate the word—it is not the word that is important, it’s the idea and the ambition behind it, because not all women have received 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 true today.But what stood out for me the most was that less than 30 percent of her audiences 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 to date, 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 it would make them less “of a man” or less of “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’t often 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 a natural 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 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 that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too—reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves.You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl? And what is she doing speaking at the UN.And it’s a really good question.I have been asking myself 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 it is my responsibility to say something.Statesman Edmund Burke said: “All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for 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 that those words might be helpful.Because the reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or for me to be nearly a hundred before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work.15.5 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 can have a secondary education.If you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists that 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 HeForShe.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.
第五篇:艾玛.沃特森演讲稿
Today we are launching a campaign called “He For She。”
今天,我们启动了一项名为“他为她”的运动。
I am reaching out to you because I need your help.We want to end gender in equality—and to do that we need everyone to be involved。
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。
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 forgender equality.And we don’t just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible。
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 rightshas too often become synonymous with man-hating.If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop。
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。
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。”
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。
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[微博]上演的戏剧里担任导演,就会被说成“专横”,而男孩们则不会;
When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the press。
14岁时,我开始被媒体报道的某些元素性别化;
When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn’t want to appear “muscly。”
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”;
When at 18 my male friends were unable to express their feelings。
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。
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。
Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and,unattractive。
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。
Why is the word such an uncomfortable one?
为什么这个词如此令人不安?
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 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。
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。
No country in the world can yet say they have achieved gender equality。
世界上没有一个国家能说,他们已经实现了性别平等。
These 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。
这些权利,我认为是每个人都该享有,然而(事实是)我只是众多幸运儿中的一个。我的生活是完完全全的特例,因为我的父母没有因为我生为女儿而减少对我的爱,我的学校没有因为我是女孩而限制我,我的导师没有因为我将来可能要生孩子而认为我会走不远。这些影响了我的人,都是性别平等大使,是他们造就了今天的我。他们也许并不知道,但他们是无心的女权主义者。而我们现在,则需要更多这样的人。所以,如果你仍然憎恨这个词——重要的不是这个词,而是它背后的想法和抱负。因为并不是所有女性都能够享有我所拥有的权利。事实上,从统计数据看,真的非常少。
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。
1997年,希拉里克林顿在北京做了一个关于女性权益的着名演讲。很遗憾,很多她希望改变的事实今天仍存在。
But what stood out for me the most was that only 30per cent 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?
我注意到,听众里只有30%是男性。当只有世界上的一半的人参与并融入这场对话时,我们怎么可能做出影响世界的改变?
Men—I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation.Gender equality is your issue too。
男人们——我希望利用这个机会正式的邀请你们加入。性别平等也与你们有关。
Because to date, 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。
因为到目前为止,我看到,我父亲作为家长所发挥的作用被社会所低估,虽然作为孩子,我所需要的他的陪伴和我需要母亲的一样多。
I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness unable to ask for help for fear it would 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。
我看到,年轻男性因为害怕自己显得不够“男子汉大丈夫”,从而在承受心理困扰时窘于寻求帮助——事实上,在英国,自杀已经是20-49岁男性的第一死亡原因,比交通事故、癌症和冠心病造成的死亡都多。我看到,男人因为对男性成功的扭曲理解而感到脆弱和不安全。性别不平等对男性也没有好处。
We don’t often 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 a natural consequence。
我们并不常谈及男人因为性别刻板印象而入狱,不过我可以看到,事情真是这样。并且当他们自由时,女性的境遇也会自然发生变化。
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。
如果男性不再为了被认可而变得强势好斗,女性也不会再感到被迫逆来顺受。如果男性不再被迫掌控一切,女性也不会再被迫受掌控。
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 two opposing sets of ideals。
男人和女人都可以敏感;男人和女人都可以强壮……是时候把性别理解为光谱,而不是南辕北辙的两派。
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 He For She is about.It’s about freedom。
如果我们不再把对方定义为自己的对立面,而是把对方定义为我们的一员——我们都会更加自由。这就是“他为她”运动所倡导的。这就是自由。
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 a more true and complete version of themselves。
我希望男性负起这个责任。这样他们的女儿、姐妹和母亲都能够拥有免于偏见的自由,同时,他们的儿子也能被允许脆弱和感性——拥有这些他们曾经摈弃的特质,他们才是更真实和完整的自己。
You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl?And what is she doing up on stage at the UN.It’s a good question and trust me,I have been asking myself the same thing.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。
你可能会想,这个从《哈利波特》里走出的姑娘是谁?她在联合国的讲台上做什么?这是一个好问题。相信我,我也问过自己相同的问题。我不知道我是否够格站在这里。我所知道的是我关心这个问题。我希望它能变好。
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 evil to triumph is for enough good men and women to do nothing。”
同时,因为我目睹过那些事情——并且我又有机会——我感到自己有责任说些什么。英国政治家埃德蒙德?伯克曾说:“恶势力要想取胜很容易,只要足够多的、善良的男人和女人们什么都不做就可以了。”
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。
当我为这次演讲感到紧张和疑虑时,我坚定的告诉自己——如果不是我,那又该是谁;如果不是现在,那又该是何时?如果当你面对机会时也有类似的疑虑,希望这些话能对你有所帮助。
Because the reality is that if we do nothing it will take 75 years, or for me to be nearly a hundred before women can expect to be paid the same as men for the same work.15.5 million girls will be married in the next 16 years as children.And at current rates it won’t be until 2086before all rural African girls will be able to receive a secondary education。
因为现实是,如果我们什么也不做,那么女性实现与男性同工同酬需要花上75年,而要我说,这恐怕得花上几乎一百年。1550万女孩会在未来16年被迫童婚。同时,按现在的发展速度,在2086年以前,非洲农村都无法实现所有女孩都能接受中等教育。
If you believe in equality, you might be one of those inadvertent feminists I spoke of earlier。
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。
And for this I applaud you。
为此,我为你鼓掌喝彩。
We are struggling for a uniting word 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 to speak up, To be the he for she.And to ask yourself if not me, who?if not now when?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!
Thank you.谢谢。
