Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace

翻译人员: Ting Huang 校对人员: Zhangyi Liu

I was basically concerned about what was going on in the world.

我基本上比较关心世界上所发生的事情。

I couldn't understand

我不明白

the starvation, the destruction,

那些饥饿、破坏

the killing of innocent people.

以及对无辜人们的杀戮

Making sense of those things

搞清楚这些

is a very difficult thing to do.

真是一件很难的事情

And when I was 12, I became an actor.

12岁的时候，我成为了一个演员。

I was bottom of the class. I haven't got any qualifications.

我处于社会的最底层，没有任何资历。

I was told I was dyslexic.

别人说我有诵读困难症。

In fact, I have got qualifications.

事实上，我也是有证书的。

I got a D in pottery, which was the one thing that I did get --

我在制作陶器上拿到了“D”，这的确是我得到的一个证书。

which was useful, obviously.

显然，这是有用的。

And so concern

所以焦虑

is where all of this comes from.

是所有这些的来源。

And then, being an actor, I was doing these different kinds of things,

作为一个演员，我一直在做着这些不同的事情。

and I felt the content of the work that I was involved in

我觉得我参与的这些工作

really wasn't cutting it, that there surely had to be more.

并没有让这种焦虑减少，而且我会越来越焦虑。

And at that point, I read a book by Frank Barnaby,

在那个时候，我读了弗兰克·巴纳的一本书。

this wonderful nuclear physicist,

他是一个伟大的核物理学家。

and he said that media had a responsibility,

他认为媒体有责任、

that all sectors of society had a responsibility

社会的各个部门都有责任

to try and progress things and move things forward.

去尝试并推动事情的发展。

And that fascinated me,

这使我着迷，

because I'd been messing around with a camera most of my life.

因为我大部分时间都一直拿着摄像机到处闲混。

And then I thought, well maybe I could do something.

于是我想，或许我可以做点什么。

Maybe I could become a filmmaker.

没准我可以成为一个电影制片人。

Maybe I can use the form of film constructively

没准我可以积极地使用电影的形式

to in some way make a difference.

来对某一方面做出改变。

Maybe there's a little change I can get involved in.

或许有一些我可以参与的变革。

So I started thinking about peace,

于是我开始思考和平，

and I was obviously, as I said to you,

就像我跟你们所说的，我显然

very much moved by these images,

被这些图片深深感动了，

trying to make sense of that.

并试着去找出它们的意义。

Could I go and speak to older and wiser people

我能去问一些年纪更大或者更明智的人

who would tell me how they made sense

他们会告诉我他们如何搞明白

of the things that are going on?

正在发生的这些事情么？

Because it's obviously incredibly frightening.

这显然是非常可怕的

But I realized that,

但是，

having been messing around with structure as an actor,

作为一个演员，跟着摄影组四处闲混，

that a series of sound bites in itself wasn't enough,

我明白一系列简短的采访本身根本不够，

that there needed to be a mountain to climb,

而是需要一座山来供攀登，

there needed to be a journey that I had to take.

需要一段我必须踏上的旅程。

And if I took that journey,

如果我踏上了那段旅程，

no matter whether it failed or succeeded, it would be completely irrelevant.

不管它是失败还是成功，都完全无所谓了。

The point was that I would have something

关键是我可以有资本

to hook the questions of -- is humankind fundamentally evil?

提出这个问题——人们本质上是邪恶的么？

Is the destruction of the world inevitable? Should I have children?

世界的毁灭是不可避免的？我应该有孩子么？

Is that a responsible thing to do? Etc., etc.

那是一个关乎责任的事情么？等等。

So I was thinking about peace,

所以我思考和平的问题，

and then I was thinking, well where's the starting point for peace?

然后我想，和平的起点在哪里呢？

And that was when I had the idea.

就在那时我有了这个想法，

There was no starting point for peace.

和平没有起点。

There was no day of global unity.

没有全球团结的一天。

There was no day of intercultural cooperation.

没有跨文化合作的一天。

There was no day when humanity came together,

没有一天人类可以聚到一起，

separate in all of those things

远离饥饿、破坏等所有的那些事情，

and just shared it together --

仅仅分享这一天，

that we're in this together,

我们在一起的这一天，

and that if we united and we interculturally cooperated,

如果我们团结起来，并且不同文化合作起来，

then that might be the key to humanity's survival.

或许就是人类生存的钥匙。

That might shift the level of consciousness

或许这能改变人类面对基本问题时

around the fundamental issues that humanity faces --

产生觉悟的层次

if we did it just for a day.

只需我们这样做一天。

So obviously we didn't have any money.

很明显我们没有钱，

I was living at my mom's place.

我住在我妈妈家里，

And we started writing letters to everybody.

我们开始给每个人写信，

You very quickly work out what is it that you've got to do

你很快就能想出你需要做的事情

to fathom that out.

并将它搞明白。

How do you create a day voted by every single head of state in the world

你如何创造一个由世界各国首脑投票选出的一天？

to create the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,

创造出史上第一个无战火、无暴力的一天，

the 21st of September?

9月21日？

And I wanted it to be the 21st of September

我把这一天定在9月21日，

because it was my granddad's favorite number.

是因为这是我爷爷最喜欢的数字。

He was a prisoner of war.

他曾是战争的俘虏，

He saw the bomb go off at Nagasaki.

他看到原子弹在长崎爆炸。

It poisoned his blood. He died when I was 11.

毒气污染了他的血液。他在我11岁的时候去世了。

So he was like my hero.

他就像我的英雄。

And the reason why 21 was the number is

至于说为什么选21这个数字，

700 men left, 23 came back,

当时他们700个人去参加战争，23个回来了，

two died on the boat and 21 hit the ground.

两个死在了船上，21个着陆了。

And that's why we wanted it to be the 21st of September as the date of peace.

这就是为什么我们想把9月21日做为这一天。

So we began this journey,

于是我们开始这个旅程，

and we launched it in 1999.

我们在1999年发起这个活动，

And we wrote to heads of state, their ambassadors,

写信给各国首脑、大使们、

Nobel Peace laureates, NGOs, faiths,

诺贝尔和平奖获得者、非政府组织、宗教机构、

various organizations -- literally wrote to everybody.

各种各样的机构——几乎给所有人都写过了。

And very quickly, some letters started coming back.

很快，一些信件得到了回复。

And we started to build this case.

于是我们开始建立这个项目。

And I remember the first letter.

我记得第一封信。

One of the first letters was from the Dalai Lama.

第一批信中有一封是来自达赖喇嘛。

And of course we didn't have the money; we were playing guitars

当然我们没有钱，我们弹吉他

and getting the money for the stamps that we were sending out all of [this mail].

来赚钱以买到寄出这些信件需要的邮票钱。

A letter came through from the Dalai Lama saying,

达赖喇嘛的回信说道，

"This is an amazing thing. Come and see me.

“这是一个有趣的事情，来见我。

I'd love to talk to you about the first ever day of peace."

我想跟你聊聊有史以来的第一个和平的一天。”

And we didn't have money for the flight.

但是我们没有钱买机票。

And I rang Sir Bob Ayling, who was CEO of BA at the time,

于是我给鲍勃·艾林爵士打电话，他那时是英国航空公司的总经理，

and said, "Mate, we've got this invitation.

我跟他说，“朋友，我们收到这个邀请，

Could you give me a flight? Because we're going to go see him."

你能给我们提供机票么？因为我们要去见他。”

And of course, we went and saw him and it was amazing.

当然，后来我们见到了达赖喇嘛，的确很有趣。

And then Dr. Oscar Arias came forward.

然后奥斯卡·阿里亚斯主动跟我们联系。

And actually, let me go back to that slide,

实际上，让我先回到那张幻灯片，

because when we launched it in 1999 --

当我们在1999年发起这个活动——

this idea to create the first ever day of ceasefire and non-violence --

创造史上第一个无战火、无暴力的一天的时候，

we invited thousands of people.

我们邀请了成千上万的人。

Well not thousands -- hundreds of people, lots of people --

嗯不是成千上万——成百上千的人，许多人——

all the press, because we were going to try and create

所有的媒体，因为我们将尝试去创造

the first ever World Peace Day, a peace day.

史上第一个世界和平日，一个和平的一天。

And we invited everybody,

我们邀请了所有人，

and no press showed up.

但是没有任何媒体到场。

There were 114 people there -- they were mostly my friends and family.

只有114个人出现，他们大部分都是我的朋友和家人。

And that was kind of like the launch of this thing.

这件事情的发起大概就是这样。

But it didn't matter because we were documenting, and that was the thing.

但是这没有关系，因为我们在记录，这才是关键。

For me, it was really about the process.

对我来说，真正重要的是过程，

It wasn't about the end result.

而不是最后的结果。

And that's the beautiful thing about the camera.

这就是摄像机的魅力所在。

They used to say the pen is mightier than the sword. I think the camera is.

人们通常说笔比剑更有分量。我想摄像机也是。

And just staying in the moment with it was a beautiful thing

还是说到摄像机很有魅力，

and really empowering actually.

并且的确很强大。

So anyway, we began the journey.

无论如何，我们开始这个旅程了，

And here you see people like Mary Robinson, I went to see in Geneva.

这里你可以看到玛丽·鲁滨逊这样的人，我当时去日内瓦看她。

I'm cutting my hair, it's getting short and long,

我打算去剪剪我的头发，它变得长短不一。

because every time I saw Kofi Annan,

因为每次我看到科菲·安南，

I was so worried that he thought I was a hippie that I cut it,

我都担心他会认为我是一个嬉皮士，所以我把它剪了。

and that was kind of what was going on.

那就是我当时在做的事情。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Yeah, I'm not worried about it now.

恩，所以我现在不用担心头发了。

So Mary Robinson,

说到玛丽·鲁滨逊，

she said to me, "Listen, this is an idea whose time has come. This must be created."

她跟我说，“这个想法的时机已经成熟了，它必须被实现。”

Kofi Annan said, "This will be beneficial to my troops on the ground."

科菲·安南说，“这将对我的地面部队很有帮助。”

The OAU at the time, led by Salim Ahmed Salim,

那时的非洲统一组织由萨利姆，艾哈迈德·萨利姆领导，

said, "I must get the African countries involved."

他说，“我必须让非洲国家参与进来。”

Dr. Oscar Arias, Nobel Peace laureate,

奥斯卡·阿里亚斯博士，诺贝尔和平奖获得者，

president now of Costa Rica,

现在是哥斯达黎加的总统。

said, "I'll do everything that I can."

他说，“我将做我可以做的一切。”

So I went and saw Amr Moussa at the League of Arab States.

所以我去见到了阿拉伯联盟秘书长穆萨，

I met Mandela at the Arusha peace talks,

我在阿鲁沙的和平谈判中见到了曼德拉，

and so on and so on and so on --

等等，等等......

while I was building the case

同时我也一直在创立这个项目，

to prove whether this idea

来判断这个想法

would make sense.

是否有意义。

And then we were listening to the people. We were documenting everywhere.

我们一直在听那些人讲各种各样的故事。我们到处记录。

76 countries in the last 12 years, I've visited.

过去12年我参观了76个国家。

And I've always spoken to women and children wherever I've gone.

无论我去哪里，我都跟当地的妇女和儿童聊天，

I've recorded 44,000 young people.

我已经采访了了44,000位年轻人，

I've recorded about 900 hours of their thoughts.

记录了900小时关于他们的想法的视频。

I'm really clear about how young people feel

我真的非常了解

when you talk to them about this idea

当你和他们谈到这个想法，

of having a starting point for their actions for a more peaceful world

为他们建立更加和平的世界提供起点，这些年轻人是怎么想的

through their poetry, their art, their literature,

通过他们的诗歌、艺术、文学、

their music, their sport, whatever it might be.

他们的音乐、运动，或者无论其他什么。

And we were listening to everybody.

我们听取每个人的观点

And it was an incredibly thing, working with the U.N.

这的确是一个不可思议的事情，与联合国合作

and working with NGOs and building this case.

与非政府组织合作，建立这个项目。

I felt that I was presenting a case

我觉得我在呈现一个项目，

on behalf of the global community

代表全球社区

to try and create this day.

来尝试建立这一天。

And the stronger the case and the more detailed it was,

这个项目越强大、越详细

the better chance we had of creating this day.

我们创造这一天的机会就越多。

And it was this stuff, this,

就是这些，这些

where I actually was in the beginning

实际上就是我最开始在的地方

kind of thinking no matter what happened, it didn't actually matter.

我想无论发生什么，实际上都没关系

It didn't matter if it didn't create a day of peace.

如果它没有创造出和平的一天也没关系。

The fact is that, if I tried and it didn't work,

事实是，如果我尝试过但没有成功，

then I could make a statement

那我就可以做一个声明

about how unwilling the global community is to unite --

关于这个全球社区是多么不想团结起来

until, it was in Somalia, picking up that young girl.

直到我在索马里偶然遇到那个小女孩。

And this young child

这个小孩，

who'd taken about an inch and a half out of her leg with no antiseptic,

在没有消毒的情况下从她的腿上取出一个一英尺半的子弹

and that young boy who was a child soldier,

那个小男孩是一个童子军，

who told me he'd killed people -- he was about 12 --

他告诉我他已经杀过人了——他大约12岁

these things made me realize

这些事情使我意识到

that this was not a film that I could just stop.

这并不是一个我可以随时终止的电影

And that actually, at that moment something happened to me,

事实上，那一刻我想到了一些事情

which obviously made me go, "I'm going to document.

这显然使我开始行动，“我要开始做记录片。

If this is the only film that I ever make,

如果这是我唯一制作的电影

I'm going to document until this becomes a reality."

我将继续记录直到这变成现实。“

Because we've got to stop, we've got to do something

因为我们需要停下来，我们需要去做一些事

where we unite --

在我们团结的地方

separate from all the politics and religion

远离所有的政治和宗教

that, as a young person, is confusing me.

作为一个年轻人，这使我困惑。

I don't know how to get involved in that process.

我不知道如何参与到这个过程中来。

And then on the seventh of September, I was invited to New York.

之后在9月7日，我被邀请去纽约。

The Costa Rican government and the British government

哥斯达黎加政府和英国政府

had put forward to the United Nations General Assembly,

向联合国大会提出

with 54 co-sponsors,

和其他54个赞助方一起，

the idea of the first ever Ceasefire Nonviolence Day,

创造有史以来第一个无战火、无暴力日

the 21st of September, as a fixed calendar date,

并将9月21日作为一个固定的日期

and it was unanimously adopted by every head of state in the world.

这个提议被世界上各个国家首脑一致采纳通过。

(Applause)

（掌声）

Yeah, but there were hundreds of individuals, obviously, who made that a reality.

是的，但是显然成千上万的人使它成为了现实。

And thank you to all of them.

谢谢这些人们。

That was an incredible moment.

那的确是一个激动人心的时刻。

I was at the top of the General Assembly just looking down into it and seeing it happen.

我当时站在联合国大会的顶部，向下看到整个过程。

And as I mentioned, when it started,

正如我说过的，当它开始时，

we were at the Globe, and there was no press.

我们在“全球”这个分会场，没有媒体在，

And now I was thinking, "Well, the press it really going to hear this story."

这时我在想，“媒体的确应该来听听这个故事”。

And suddenly, we started to institutionalize this day.

突然，我们开始让这天变成一项制度。

Kofi Annan invited me on the morning of September the 11th

科菲·安南邀请我在9月11日上午

to do a press conference.

来做一个媒体发布会。

And it was 8:00 AM when I stood there.

当我站在那里的时候是早晨8点

And I was waiting for him to come down, and I knew that he was on his way.

我当时在等他下来，而且我知道他就在路上。

And obviously he never came down. The statement was never made.

但是显然他一直没有出现。那个声明也没有做成。

The world was never told there was a day of global ceasefire and nonviolence.

世界人民从来没有被告知有一个无战火、无暴力日。

And it was obviously a tragic moment

这显然是一个悲惨的时刻

for the thousands of people who lost their lives,

对于那些成千上万失去生命的人来说

there and then subsequently all over the world.

这些事情在全世界范围内时时刻刻都在发生，

It never happened.

这个声明从来都没有被宣布。

And I remember thinking,

我还记得当时想，

"This is exactly why, actually,

“这正是为什么事实上

we have to work even harder.

我们需要更加努力地工作。

And we have to make this day work.

我们需要让这一天成为现实。

It's been created; nobody knows.

它已经诞生了，但是没有人知道。

But we have to continue this journey,

但是我们还需要继续我们的旅程，

and we have to tell people,

我们需要告诉人们，

and we have to prove it can work."

我们需要证明这一天的创造是有效的。”

And I left New York freaked,

我心情低落地离开了纽约

but actually empowered.

但实际上充满了力量

And I felt inspired

我有一种被鼓舞的感觉

by the possibilities

想到有可能

that if it did, then maybe we wouldn't see things like that.

这个声明一旦发布，我们或许就不能看到那样的事情了。

I remember putting that film out and going to cynics.

我记得放映那个电影，并且到愤世嫉俗者中去。

I was showing the film,

我在展示这个电影

and I remember being in Israel and getting it absolutely slaughtered

我还记得在以色列，它被完全破坏

by some guys having watched the film --

被一些看过这个电影的人毁坏

that it's just a day of peace, it doesn't mean anything.

这只是一天的和平，并不意味着任何事情。

It's not going to work; you're not going to stop the fighting in Afghanistan;

但是这没有用，你不可能阻止阿富汗的战争

the Taliban won't listen, etc., etc.

塔利班是不会听的 ，等等。

It's just symbolism.

这只是一种象征。

And that was even worse

那甚至更糟糕

than actually what had just happened in many ways,

事实上在许多方面比真正发生的事情还糟糕。

because it couldn't not work.

因为它没有生效。

I'd spoken in Somalia, Burundi, Gaza, the West Bank,

我曾经在索马里，布隆迪，加沙，约旦河西岸，

India, Sri Lanka, Congo, wherever it was,

印度，斯里兰卡，刚果做演讲，无论在哪，

and they'd all tell me, "If you can create a window of opportunity,

他们都告诉我，“如果你能创造一扇机会的窗户，

we can move aid, we can vaccinate children.

我们可以提供帮助，我们可以为孩子们注射疫苗。

Children can lead their projects.

孩子们可以组织他们自己的项目，

They can unite. They can come together. If people would stop, lives will be saved."

他们可以团结起来，聚在一起。如果人们肯停下战争，就会挽救很多生命。“

That's what I'd heard.

这就是我听到的内容。

And I'd heard that from the people who really understood what conflict was about.

并且我是从那些真正懂得战争和冲突的意义的人们口中听到。

And so I went back to the United Nations.

然后我又回到了联合国。

I decided that I'd continue filming and make another movie.

我决定继续拍摄并制作另一部电影。

And I went back to the U.N. for another couple of years.

然后我又回到联合国待了两年。

We started moving around the corridors of the U.N. system,

我们开始在联合国系统的周围活动，

governments and NGOs,

以及政府和非政府组织的周围，

trying desperately to find somebody

拼命尝试去找到一些人

to come forward and have a go at it,

可以主动参与，并尝试一下

see if we could make it possible.

让我们看看这是否可能实现。

And after lots and lots of meetings obviously,

经过不计其数的会议之后，显然

I'm delighted that this man, Ahmad Fawzi,

我很中意这个人，艾哈迈德·法齐，

one of my heroes and mentors really,

事实上他是我心中的英雄和导师之一，

he managed to get UNICEF involved.

他成功使联合国儿童基金会参与到我们的活动中来

And UNICEF, God bless them, they said, "Okay, we'll have a go."

说到联合国儿童基金会，上帝保佑他们，他们说，“好的，我们会参加”。

And then UNAMA became involved in Afghanistan.

然后联合国阿富汗援助团也在阿富汗参加了这个活动

It was historical. Could it work in Afghanistan

这是历史性的，这能否在阿富汗成功

with UNAMA and WHO

有了联合国阿富汗援助团和世界卫生组织

and civil society, etc., etc., etc.?

以及民间组织等等的帮助？

And I was getting it all on film and I was recording it,

我将这些都放在电影上，并且正在记录这些

and I was thinking, "This is it. This is the possibility of it maybe working.

我就想，“就是它，这就是它成功的可能性。”

But even if it doesn't, at least the door is open

但是即使它不成功，至少打开了一扇门，

and there's a chance."

于是就有了机会

And so I went back to London,

所以我回到了伦敦，

and I went and saw this chap, Jude Law.

去找这个小伙子，裘德洛

And I saw him because he was an actor, I was an actor,

我去找他因为他是个演员，我也是个演员

I had a connection to him,

我跟他有某种联系

because we needed to get to the press, we needed this attraction,

因为我们需要去找媒体，我们需要他的号召力

we needed the media to be involved.

我们需要媒体参与进来

Because if we start pumping it up a bit maybe more people would listen

因为如果媒体开始做更多的宣传，就会有更多的人关注

and there'd be more --

然后又会有更多

when we got into certain areas,

当我们进入特定地区时

maybe there would be more people interested.

可能会有更多的人对这个感兴趣

And maybe we'd be helped financially a little bit more,

而且没准我们会在经济上得到更多的帮助

which had been desperately difficult.

我们的经济已经十分困难

I won't go into that.

我将不会详细说这个

So Jude said, "Okay, I'll do some statements for you."

然后裘徳说，“好吧，我为你做一些宣传”。

While I was filming these statements, he said to me, "Where are you going next?"

当我在录这些宣传视频时，他对我说，“你下一步要去哪？”

I said, "I'm going to go to Afghanistan." He said, "Really?"

我说，“我要去阿富汗”。他说，“真的么？”

And I could sort of see a little look in his eye of interest.

我可以从他眼中读到一丝兴趣。

So I said to him, "Do you want to come with me?

于是我跟他说，“你想跟我一起去么？”

It'd be really interesting if you came.

如果你要去的话一定很有意思。

It would help and bring attention.

这将会很有帮助，并且引起关注。

And that attention

这种关注

would help leverage the situation,

会影响局势，

as well as all of the other sides of it."

还有所有其他方面。

I think there's a number of pillars to success.

我认为有很多方法可以成功，

One is you've got to have a great idea.

一个是你有一个伟大的想法。

The other is you've got to have a constituency, you've got to have finance,

另一个是你有一批拥护者，你有一些经济支持，

and you've got to be able to raise awareness.

你还可以提高大家的意识

And actually I could never raise awareness by myself, no matter what I'd achieved.

事实上凭我自己绝对不能提高大众意识，不管我做成了什么。

So these guys were absolutely crucial.

所以像裘德洛这些人绝对是非常关键的。

So he said yes,

然后他同意了。

and we found ourselves in Afghanistan.

于是我们到了阿富汗。

It was a really incredible thing that when we landed there,

当我们到达那里的时候，的确很有趣，

I was talking to various people, and they were saying to me,

我跟不同的人说话，他们对我说，

"You've got to get everybody involved here.

“你需要把这里的每个人都召集进来。

You can't just expect it to work. You have to get out and work."

你不能只想着让它自己生效，你必须走出去工作使之生效。

And we did, and we traveled around,

然后我们开始这样做，我们到处环游，

and we spoke to elders, we spoke to doctors, we spoke to nurses,

向老人演讲，向医生演讲，向护士演讲，

we held press conferences, we went out with soldiers,

我们召开新闻发布会，跟战士一起出去

we sat down with ISAF, we sat down with NATO,

和驻阿富汗“国际安全援助部队”谈话，和北约谈话，

we sat down with the U.K. government.

和英国政府谈话

I mean, we basically sat down with everybody --

我的意思是说，我们基本上和所有人都谈过了

in and out of schools with ministers of education,

和教育部长们在学校进进出出

holding these press conferences,

并召开媒体发布会

which of course, now were loaded with press, everybody was there.

当然，现在有媒体在场了，几乎每个人都在。

There was an interest in what was going on.

大家对这个活动有了兴趣

This amazing woman, Fatima Gailani, was absolutely instrumental in what went on

这个不可思议的女人，法蒂玛·马格拉尼，对事情的进展有很大的帮助

as she was the spokesperson for the resistance against the Russians.

因为她是对抗俄罗斯的发言人。

And her Afghan network

她的阿富汗网络

was just absolutely everywhere.

几乎遍及各处。

And she was really crucial in getting the message in.

而且她对于收集信息也很关键。

And then we went home. We'd sort of done it.

然后我们就回家了，我们差不多做完这件事了。

We had to wait now and see what happened.

现在我们需要等待，然后看看会发生什么。

And I got home,

于是我回家了，

and I remember one of the team bringing in a letter to me

我还记得队里有个人给我带了一封信，

from the Taliban.

从塔利班。

And that letter basically said, "We'll observe this day.

那封信的大概内容是，“我们将遵守这天，

We will observe this day.

我们将遵守这天。

We see it as a window of opportunity.

我们把这个视为机会之门，

And we will not engage. We're not going to engage."

我们不会参与。我们不会去参与。

And that meant that humanitarian workers

这意味着人道主义工作人员

wouldn't be kidnapped or killed.

将不会被绑架或者杀戮。

And then suddenly, I obviously knew at this point, there was a chance.

然后突然，我明显感到这个时机，是一个机会。

And days later,

几天之后，

1.6 million children were vaccinated against polio

160万儿童接种了小儿麻痹疫苗

as a consequence of everybody stopping.

作为人人停止战争的结果。

(Applause)

（掌声）

And like the General Assembly,

就像联合国大会，

obviously the most wonderful, wonderful moment.

显然这是最棒、最好的时刻。

And so then we wrapped the film up and we put it together

然后我们收好胶卷然后把它们放在一起，

because we had to go back.

因为我们需要回去，

We put it into Dari and Pashto. We put it in the local dialects.

我们把它翻译成达里语和普什图语。我们把它翻译成当地方言。

We went back to Afghanistan,

我们回到了阿富汗

because the next year was coming, and we wanted to support.

应为明年要来了，我们想提供支持，

But more importantly, we wanted to go back,

但是更重要的是，我们想回去，

because these people in Afghanistan were the heroes.

因为阿富汗的这些人是英雄

They were the people who believed in peace
