Do you all want to know what my favorite word is?

你们想知道我最喜欢的单词是什么吗？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

It's the F word.

就是F开头的词。

(Audience: Yeah!)

（观众：没错！）

Some people think it's a little dirty.

有些人认为它有点脏，

Others really like to throw it around.

而另一些人真的喜欢随口一说。

Oh, y’all thought I meant “fuck”?

瞧，你们以为我的意思是 “操”？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

No, no, no, no, no.

不，不，不，不，不。

My favorite word is “fandom.”

我最喜欢的词是 “粉丝创作”。

This talk is about fandom

这个演讲是关于粉丝创作的，

and how fandom can enrich your life

以及粉丝创作如何丰富你的生活，

and build a community of people

并建立一个你可能并不 经常与之交谈的人

that you might not have always talked to, right?

组成的圈子，对吧？

But I'm sure when you all think of fandom,

但我敢肯定，当你们所有人 想到粉丝创作时，

y'all think nerds and cosplay and fan fiction and neck beards

你们都会想到书呆子、 角色扮演、同人小说、失败者

and people in dark basements and stuff.

以及身处黑暗地下室里的人之类的东西，

And all that is true.

但这一切都是真的。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

But you also probably think about America's ass.

但你们也可能会联想到美国队长的屁股。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

I do.

我就知道。

(Laughter and cheers)

（笑声和欢呼）

And yes, fandom is all of this stuff,

是的，粉丝创作就是这些东西，

but it is actually a community of people that share a passion.

但它实际上是一个有着 共同爱好的粉丝们的集合地。

Fandom is a community of people that share a passion.

粉丝创作就是一个由志同道合 的人组成的圈子。

Right?

对吧？

But like all things, a there's a spectrum, right?

但是像所有事物一样， 有范围区分，对吧？

You have your casual fans, your fans, your hardcore fans,

你有你的路人粉、 你的普通粉丝、你的铁粉，

and then you have your fanatics.

然后你还有你的死忠粉，

And it can get really ugly, just like that ugly thing.

而且它们可能会变得令人厌恶， 就像那个晦气玩意儿一样。

Every time I see it, I run scared.

每当我看到它时，我都惊恐地逃离。

Sorry to all my Phillies fans, it's ugly, right?

对不起我所有的费城人队 球迷，太糟糕了，对吧？

But I want to talk about the difference between being a fan

但我想谈谈作为铁粉

and being a fanatic, right?

和死忠粉的区 别，对吧？

Fans want to bring in joy.

粉丝们想带来欢乐，

They want to share stuff as much as possible with you, right?

他们想尽可能多地和你分享东西，对吧？

Fanatics are --

唯粉是 ——

And I know I watched Obi-Wan last night, so "Star Wars" is on the brain --

我知道我昨晚看了 欧比旺·克诺比， 因此《星球大战》在我的脑海里 ——

But fanatics are those "Star Wars" fans

但是死忠粉是那些 “星球大战” 的粉丝，

that chased two grown women off of the internet

就因为她们把千年隼号送给了一个女孩，

because they gave the Millennium Falcon to a girl, right.

所以在互联网上追杀 这两名成年女性，对吧。

They weren't happy about that.

她们对此并不满意，

Those are fanatics.

这些都是死忠粉。

We want to be fans.

我们想成为粉丝，

We don't want to be fanatics, right?

但不想成为死忠粉，对吧？

Because fans create worlds.

因为粉丝们创造了世界。

Once the story is over, once the movie is done,

一旦故事结束， 电影完成，

they want to keep it going.

他们仍想继续前进。

So they start to create cosplay, fan fiction, video games.

于是他们开始创作角色扮演、同 人小说、电子游戏。

I mean, I myself have a lot of feelings and fandoms,

我的意思是，我自己对 粉丝创作有很深的感情，

so I have a newsletter that I write whenever I remember to write it.

因此我有个粮仓， 只要我能想起来我就会去产粮。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And also, because we're friends here,

而且，因为咱们大伙儿聚在这里，

I cosplay.

我来角色扮演。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

I'm not new to this, I'm true to this, right.

我才不是新手， 我真正地了解它，你说是吧。

I wanted to still still engage with all of the worlds that I love,

尽管电影结束了，

even though the movie was over.

但我仍然想 与我热爱的那个世界互动。

Fans aren't gatekeepers.

粉丝不是守门人。

Y'all can clap.

鼓掌吧大家。

(Applause)

（掌声）

We all have that friend that watches us watch a movie

我们都有一个朋友， 那个朋友在看我们看着的电影，

because they want us to like the same part that they like.

因为他们希望我们两方喜欢同样的东西。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

That is a fan.

那就是粉丝。

Fanatics are those people who quiz me when I come into a comic book store

死忠粉是那些在我进入 一家漫画书店时质疑我的人，

thinking because I look like this,

因为我看起来，

that I can't know about comics, right?

我看起来根本不懂漫画，是不？

And fans learn life lessons from some of the nerdiest places, right?

粉丝们从一些最书呆子气的地方 汲取人生教训，对不？

So for a quick example, how many Blazers fans are here?

那么举个简单的例子， 这里有多少开拓者队的球迷？

(Cheers and applause)

（欢呼和掌声）

Right.

行吧。

Y'all are really patient people, I'm sure.

我敢肯定，你们都是非常有耐心的人。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Y'all will continue to be patient.

大伙儿还是继续耐心等待。

With that number seven pick, y’all got, sucks for y’all.

有了第七顺位 你们得到了，糟糕透了。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Or if you were an Oregon women's Ducks fan, which we all should be --

又或，如果你是俄勒冈鸭队 女子篮球的粉丝，我们都应该是——

(Cheers and applause)

（欢呼和掌声）

You probably understand the importance of women in power,

你可能明白 女性掌权的重要性、

the value of women in sports

女性在体育运动中的价值，

and you're probably just overall a much better person.

总体而言， 你可能是一个更好的人。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Because fandom when harnessed is greater than any box office number.

因为一旦被利用，粉丝创作的数目 就比任何票房数据更庞大。

Right, fandom when harnessed is greater than any box office number.

是的，利用后的粉丝创作 比任何票房数字都要大。

You meet people who you might have not necessarily always talk to, right?

你会遇到一些你可能 不会与之交谈的人，对吧？

You learn from so many different people

你向很多不同的人学习，

and you learn a lot of things from these things that you love so much.

也从这些你非常喜欢的东西 中学到了很多东西。

Whether or not you realize it, right?

不管你是否意识到，对吧？

Think about what you put on your locker when you were a teenager

想想十几岁时 你在储物柜里放了什么，

or in your three-ring binder

或者在三环活页夹里，

or even on your phone background right now.

甚至出现在手机壁纸上。

Something somewhere has inspired you

某个地方的某件事激发了你的灵感，

or guided you along this journey called life, right?

So I'm going to give you all ten things --

所以我要把所有十件事都交给你——

我涉足很多粉丝圈子， 很多，

but I'm going to give you ten things that my fandoms have taught me.

We were forced to watch them,
