Tarana Burke: Me Too is a movement, not a moment | TED

翻译人员: duan JiGang 校对人员: Cissy Yun

I've been trying to figure out what I was going to say here for months.

几个月来，我一直在冥思苦想 我将要说些什么。

Because there's no bigger stage than TED,

因为再没有比TED更大的舞台，

it felt like getting my message right in this moment

在舞台上的这一刻 传达清楚我的信息

was more important than anything.

就是最重要的事情。

And so I searched and searched for days on end,

所以我多天一直在搜索，

trying to find the right configuration of words.

试图找到最正确的言语。

And although intellectually,

虽然我可以很理智地

I could bullet point the big ideas that I wanted to share about Me Too

谈谈我的一些有关”Me Too“的想法

and this movement that I founded,

以及我创立的这个运动，

I kept finding myself falling short of finding the heart.

但是我不断发现我无法找到那颗心。

I wanted to pour myself into this moment

我想要把自己全身心投入到这一时刻，

and tell you why even the possibility of healing or interrupting sexual violence

告诉你们为什么性暴力有可能 被治愈或终止，

was worth standing and fighting for.

而这件事是值得坚守和为之战斗的。

I wanted to rally you to your feet with an uplifting speech

我本想用一篇振奋人心的演讲

about the important work of fighting for the dignity and humanity of survivors.

号召你们为幸存者的尊严和人权 这一重要的事而战，

But I don't know if I have it.

但是我不知道我是否有此能力。

The reality is,

现实是，

after soldiering through the Supreme Court nomination process

在经历了最高法院提名程序

and attacks from the White House,

和来自白宫的攻击、

gross mischaracterizations,

蓄意的曲解、

internet trolls

互联网喷子、

and the rallies and marches

以及各种集会和游行

and heart-wrenching testimonies,

还有痛彻心扉的证词，

I'm faced with my own hard truth.

我正面对着残酷的现实。

I'm numb.

我已经麻木了。

And I'm not surprised.

并且我不惊讶。

I've traveled all across the world giving talks,

我曾经游历全世界做演讲，

and like clockwork, after every event,

毫无例外，在每一个演讲后，

more than one person approaches me

会有不止一个人找到我，

so that they can say their piece in private.

为了在私下诉说他们的遭遇。

And I always tried to reassure them.

我一直也尝试着让他们消除顾虑。

You know, I'd give them local resources

我告诉他们当地的资源，

and a soft reassurance that they're not alone

也用温柔的安慰来 告知他们并不孤独，

and this is their movement, too.

这也是他们的运动。

I'd tell them that we're stronger together

我告诉他们，我们在一起很强大，

and that this is a movement of survivors and advocates

这个运动的本质就是 幸存者和倡议者

doing things big and small every day.

每天一起努力完成大大小小的目标。

And more and more people are joining this movement

越来越多的人正在加入这项运动，

every single day.

每一天都是。

That part is clear.

这部分很清晰。

People are putting their bodies on the line

人们愿意为这个运动所付出，

and raising their voices to say, "Enough is enough."

并且提高音量说”我们受够了。“

So why do I feel this way?

那么，我为什么会有这样的感觉呢？

Well ...

嗯......

Someone with credible accusations of sexual violence against him

一位被指控有性暴力犯罪的人

was confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States of America,

已经被美国最高法院提名，

again.

并且是再一次提名。

The US President,

美国总统，

who was caught on tape talking about how he can grab women's body parts

被拍到夸夸其谈 他如何可以随意抓住女性的身体部位，

wherever he wants, however he wants,

在任何他想要的地点， 用任何他想要的方式，

can call a survivor a liar at one of his rallies,

他在集会上称呼幸存者为骗子，

and the crowds will roar.

而人群还会为他叫好。

And all across the world, where Me Too has taken off,

在 Me Too 运动兴起的世界各地，

Australia and France,

澳大利亚和法国，

Sweden, China and now India,

瑞士，中国和现在的印度，

survivors of sexual violence are all at once being heard

性暴力幸存者的声音在被听到的，

and then vilified.

同时，他们又被诋毁。

And I've read article after article bemoaning ...

我读了一篇又一篇文章， 我叹息

wealthy white men

有钱的白人男子

who have landed softly with their golden parachutes,

在他们的可怕行为被揭露后

following the disclosure of their terrible behavior.

居然可以乘着金子降落伞平稳着陆。

And we're asked to consider their futures.

人们还会要求我们 顾虑他们的未来。

But what of survivors?

但是谁想过幸存者的未来？

This movement is constantly being called a watershed moment,

这项运动一直被称为一项分水岭式的运动

or even a reckoning,

或者一个清算，

but I wake up some days feeling like all evidence points to the contrary.

但是我有些日子醒来时能感觉到 所有的事都指向相反的方向。

It's hard not to feel numb.

感觉不到麻木是一件很难的事情。

I suspect some of you may feel numb, too.

我猜测你们有些人也可能感觉麻木了。

But let me tell you what else I know.

但是让我告诉你我知道的其他事情。

Sometimes when you hear the word "numb,"

有时候当你听到 “麻木”这个词语时，

you think of a void, an absence of feelings,

你会想到空无，感觉的缺失，

or even the inability to feel.

或者根本无法感觉。

But that's not always true.

但并非一直是如此。

Numbness can come from those memories that creep up in your mind

麻木可能来自于在你头脑中 慢慢爬升起来的记忆，

that you can't fight off in the middle of the night.

在夜半时分也挥之不去。

They can come from the tears that are locked behind your eyes

麻木也可能来自你紧锁在双眼中的泪水

that you won't give yourself permission to cry.

因为你不给自己哭泣的权利。

For me, numbness comes from looking in the face of survivors

对我而言，麻木来自于看着幸存者的脸庞

and knowing everything to say

并且知道该说的话语，

but having nothing left to give.

但是却没有任何可以给予她们的东西。

It's measuring the magnitude of this task ahead of you

它检测的是你任务的巨大程度

versus your own wavering fortitude.

对比你动摇的毅力。

Numbness is not always the absence of feeling.

麻木并不是感觉的缺失。

Sometimes it's an accumulation of feelings.

有时候它是感觉的积累。

And as survivors,

作为幸存者，

we often have to hold the truth of what we experience.

我们经常需要坚持我们的经历。

But now, we're all holding something,

但是，现在， 所有人都需要坚持一些事，

whether we want to or not.

不管我们是否想要。

Our colleagues are speaking up and speaking out,

我们的同仁正在勇敢地发声，

industries across the board are reexamining workplace culture,

各个行业都正在重新审视职场文化，

and families and friends are having hard conversations

家人和朋友们都在为事实真相

about closely held truths.

进行着艰难的对话。

Everybody is impacted.

And then, there's the backlash.

然后，出现了反弹。

We've all heard it.

我们都听到过。

"The Me Too Movement is a witch hunt."

“Me Too 运动是一个政治迫害。”

Right?

对不对？

"Me Too is dismantling due process."

“Me Too 正在破坏正当的程序。”

Or, "Me Too has created a gender war."

或者 “Me Too 已经创造了 一场性别战争。”

The media has been consistent with headline after headline

媒体始终如一地使用 一个接一个的头条

that frames this movement in ways that make it difficult

给这项运动定下了框架，

to move our work forward,

也阻碍我们推动这项运动。

and right-wing pundits and other critics

右翼评论家和其他批评者

have these talking points that shift the focus away from survivors.

他们的谈论正把焦点从幸存者 转移走。

So suddenly, a movement that was started to support

所以，刹那间，一个旨在支持

all survivors of sexual violence

性暴力幸存者的运动

is being talked about like it's a vindictive plot against men.

在众口之下变成了 一个针对男性的阴谋报复。

And I'm like, "Huh?"

我的反应是，“啥？”

(Laughter)

（笑声）

How did we get here?

我们怎么会变成这样？

We have moved so far away

我们已经走得太远，

from the origins of this movement that started a decade ago,

远离了十年前发起这项运动的初心，

or even the intentions of the hashtag that started just a year ago,

甚至已经远离了一年前才发起的 话题的目标，

that sometimes, the Me Too movement that I hear some people talk about

有时候，我听到别人谈论中的 Me Too

is unrecognizable to me.

已经不是我认识的那个运动了。

But be clear:

但是我们要清醒知道：

This is a movement about the one in four girls

这项运动是为了 四个女孩中就有一个

and the one in six boys

和六个男孩中就有一个

who are sexually assaulted every year

每年都会遭受性侵犯，

and carry those wounds into adulthood.

并且一直把这些伤痕 背负到他们的成年时代。

It's about the 84 percent of trans women who will be sexually assaulted this year

这项运动也是为了 每年被性侵犯的84%的跨性别女性，

and the indigenous women

而那些土著女性，

who are three-and-a-half times more likely to be sexually assaulted

她们受性侵的可能性

than any other group.

比其他人高出3.5倍。

Or people with disabilities,

还有那些残疾人士，

who are seven times more likely to be sexually abused.

他们遭受性犯罪的可能性 比他人要高出七倍。

It's about the 60 percent of black girls like me

这个运动也是为了 像我一样的黑人女孩中有60%的人

who will be experiencing sexual violence before they turn 18,

将会在他们18岁之前遭受性暴力，

and the thousands and thousands of low-wage workers

还有成千上万的低薪人群，

who are being sexually harassed right now

他们正在工作中遭受着性骚扰

on jobs that they can't afford to quit.

但是他们却无法辞去工作。

This is a movement about the far-reaching power of empathy.

这是一场有关同理心的深远力量的运动。

And so it's about the millions and millions of people

它是一个关乎数百万人的运动，

who, one year ago, raised their hands to say, "Me too,"

这些人在一年前， 举起他们的手说到：“我也一样，”

and their hands are still raised

他们的手依然在举着，

while the media that they consume erases them

而此时他们消费的媒体却在抹去他们，

and politicians who they elected to represent them

还有他们所选举的政客们

pivot away from solutions.

却在背离这些问题的解决方案。

It's understandable that the push-pull of this unique, historical moment

可以理解，这个独特的历史性时刻的反复

feels like an emotional roller-coaster that has rendered many of us numb.

就像感情的过山车，大起大落， 让我们很多人麻木了。

This accumulation of feelings

这种感情的积累，

that so many of us are experiencing together, across the globe,

全世界各地的我们一起在经历，

is collective trauma.

它变成了一种集体创伤。

But ...

但是

it is also the first step

它正是朝着积极构建 我们想要的世界

towards actively building a world that we want right now.

迈出的第一步。

What we do with this thing that we're all holding

我们为坚持的事情所做的一切

is the evidence that this is bigger than a moment.

证明了这件事情的意义远大于 一个热门时刻。

It's the confirmation that we are in a movement.

它认定了我们在一起 参与一个运动。

And the most powerful movements

最强有力的运动

have always been built around what's possible,

都是围绕着可有的未来

not just claiming what is right now.

而不只是针对当下的对错。

Trauma halts possibility.

创伤中断了可能性。

Movement activates it.

而运动又激活了它。

Dr. King famously quoted Theodore Parker saying,

金博士曾知名地引用西奥多·帕克的谚语

"The arc of the moral universe is long, and it bends toward justice."

“道德世界的弧线很长， 但它朝着正义前行。”

We've all heard this quote.

我们都听过这句话。

But somebody has to bend it.

但是有人需要专注于此。

The possibility that we create in this movement and others

我们在这个运动和 其他运动创造的可能性

is the weight leaning that arc in the right direction.

正促使着这个弧线 朝着正确方向延伸。

Movements create possibility,

运动创造可能性，

and they are built on vision.

而运动则建立在我们的愿景之上。

My vision for the Me Too Movement

我对于 Me Too 运动的愿景

is a part of a collective vision to see a world free of sexual violence,

是集体愿景的一部分， 那就是看到一个没有性暴力的世界，

and I believe we can build that world.

并且我相信我们能够创造那个世界。

Full stop.

完完全全。

But in order to get there,

为了到达那里，

we have to dramatically shift a culture that propagates the idea

我们需要彻底得从 纵容这种想法的文化中走出来，

that vulnerability is synonymous with permission

这种想法认为脆弱是许可权的近义词

and that bodily autonomy is not a basic human right.

并且这种想法认为身体自主权 不是一个基本人权。

In other words, we have to dismantle the building blocks of sexual violence:

换句话说，我们需要摒弃 性暴力的基石：

power and privilege.

政权和特权。

So much of what we hear about the Me Too Movement

我们听到关于 Me Too 运动的事情

is about individual bad actors or depraved, isolated behavior,

很多都是单一的坏演员， 或者堕落的个人行为，

and it fails to recognize

他们并没有认识到

that anybody in a position of power comes with privilege,

任何身处要职的人都会有特权。

and it renders those without that power

并且它使那些没有这种权利的人

more vulnerable.

变的更脆弱。

Teachers and students, coaches and athletes,

老师和学生，教练员和运动员，

law enforcement and citizen, parent and child:

执法机关和市民，父母和孩子：

these are all relationships that can have an incredible imbalance of power.

这些关系间都存在严重的权利不平衡。

But we reshape that imbalance by speaking out against it in unison

但是我们通过一致的说出这些事情来 重塑这种不平衡，

and by creating spaces to speak truth to power.

并且通过创造空间来对权利说出真相。

We have to reeducate ourselves and our children

我们需要重新教育我们自己 以及我们的孩子

to understand that power and privilege doesn't always have to destroy and take --

以便理解，权利和特权 并不一直都是在破坏和获取，

it can be used to serve and build.

它也可能被用来服务大众和做出建设。

And we have to reeducate ourselves to understand that, unequivocally,

并且我们也需要重新教育我们自己 以明确的认识到

every human being has the right to walk through this life

每一个人都有权利在 保持他们人权完整的情况下

with their full humanity intact.

度过自己的人生。

Part of the work of the Me Too Movement

Me Too 运动其中的一部分工作

is about the restoration of that humanity for survivors,

就是关于恢复幸存者的人权，

because the violence doesn't end with the act.

因为暴力并不会随着 暴力的停止而结束。

The violence is also the trauma that we hold after the act.

暴力同时也存于 它所留下的创伤。

Remember, trauma halts possibility.

记住，创伤中断了可能性。

It serves to impede,

它促使了障碍，

stagnate, confuse and kill.

淤积，迷惑和杀戮。

So our work rethinks how we deal with trauma.

所以我们的工作令我们反思 应该怎样对待创伤。

For instance, we don't believe

比如，我们不相信

that survivors should tell the details of their stories all the time.

幸存者应该一直把他们故事中的细节 告诉给别人。

We shouldn't have to perform our pain over and over again

我们也不应该为了 你们的觉醒而一遍又一遍

for the sake of your awareness.

的上演我们的痛苦。

We also try to teach survivors to not lean into their trauma,

我们同样也在尝试教导受害者 不要陷入到他们的创伤中，

but to lean into the joy that they curate in their lives instead.

而是要享受他们在生活中所孕育的快乐。

And if you don't find it, create it and lean into that.

如果你没找到乐趣，创造它并且乐在其中。

But when your life has been touched by trauma,

但是当你的生活面临伤痕时，

sometimes trying to find joy feels like an insurmountable task.

有时候寻找乐趣感觉 是一个不可完成的任务。

Now imagine trying to complete that task

现在想象当你尝试去完成那个任务时，

while world leaders are discrediting your memories

世界领袖们在怀疑你的记忆

or the news media keeps erasing your experience,

或者新闻媒体在抹去你的遭遇，

or people continuously reduce you to your pain.

或者人们不断地将你的痛苦 当做你的价值

Movement activates possibility.

运动激发了可能性。

There's folklore in my family, like most black folks,

和大多数黑人家庭一样， 我们家也有个传说，

about my great-great-grandaddy, Lawrence Ware.

关于我的曾曾祖父， 劳伦斯·威尔。

He was born enslaved,

他生下来就是一个奴隶，

his parents were enslaved,

他的父母也是奴隶，

and he had no reason to believe that a black man in America

并且他没有理由相信在美国，一个黑人

wouldn't die a slave.

And yet,

然而，

legend has it that when he was freed by his enslavers,

传说当他被奴役者释放时，

he walked from Georgia to South Carolina

他从佐治亚州走到南卡罗莱纳州

so that he could find the wife and child that he was separated from.

And every time I hear this story, I think to myself,

每次当我听到这个故事时，我都会自己想

"How could he do this?

“他怎么可能做到这件事情呢？”

Wasn't he afraid that he would be captured and killed by white vigilantes,

他就不担心自己被白人治安委员会 抓住并且杀死吗？

or he would get there and they would be gone?"

或者当他到那里的时候 他的妻儿都不在了？

And so I asked my grandmother once

当我有一次问起我的外祖母

why she thought that he took this journey up,

为什么她相信他走上这趟旅途，

and she said,

她回答说，

"I guess he had to believe it was possible."

I have been propelled by possibility for most of my life.

我一生大多数时间 都在被可能性驱使着。

I am here because somebody, starting with my ancestors,

我在这里， 因为我祖先中有一个这样的人

believed I was possible.

他相信可能性。

In 2006, 12 years ago,

在12年前的2006年，

I laid across a mattress on my floor in my one-bedroom apartment,

我躺在一间一居室公寓的地板的床垫上，

frustrated with all the sexual violence that I saw in my community.

因我我在我们社区看到的性暴力而满怀沮丧。

I pulled out a piece of paper, and I wrote "Me Too" on the top of it,

我撕下来一块纸并且 在上面写上“我也是(Me Too)”，

and I proceeded to write out an action plan

并且我开始继续写下一个执行计划，

for building a movement based on empathy between survivors

基于幸存者之间的同理心 构建起来一个运动，

that would help us feel like we can heal,

这个运动会让人相信 我们的伤痛时可治愈的，

that we weren't the sum total of the things that happened to us.

Possibility is a gift, y'all.

可能性是一个礼物，对你们大家，

It births new worlds,

and it births visions.

并且它产生新的愿景。

I know some of y'all are tired,

我知道你们有些人已经疲倦了，

because I'm tired.

因为我也疲倦了。

I'm exhausted,

我已经筋疲力尽了，

and I'm numb.

我也麻木了。

Those who came before us didn't win every fight,

我们的先驱 没有赢得所有战争，

but they didn't let it kill their vision.

但是他们却没有让战争 磨灭他们的愿景。

It fueled it.

战争推升了他们的愿景。

So I can't stop,

所以我不能停止，

and I'm asking you not to stop either.

我也呼吁你们不要止步。

We owe future generations a world free of sexual violence.

I believe we can build that world.

Do you?

Thank you.
