I mean it. We prepared 30 minutes ago.

我说真的，30 分钟前 我们还在临时抱佛脚。

I want to have it clear -- I love to be here with you all,

我要说清楚—— 我很高兴和你们一起在这里,

but I wanted to be here not to tell my story

但我不想在这儿说我的故事，

but to tell the story of the amazing people of Puerto Rico

我是想说说那些神奇的波多黎各人，

that came together to feed the people of Puerto Rico.

为了给灾民做饭而聚在一起的故事。

My name is José Andrés, and you know I love to feed the few,

我叫 José Andrés， 我喜欢给一些人做饭，

but even more, I love to feed the many.

但其实，我更喜欢服务更多的人。

Here, right after the hurricane,

这里，就在飓风过后，

like we'd done many times before after an earthquake in Haiti

就像我们在海地地震后，

or Sandy or others,

在飓风桑迪或其他的灾害后常做的，

I had this sense of urgency to be there

我都有种想要飞奔而去的急迫感，

and to try to feed one person,

哪怕是能给一个人做饭也好，

and always, you have crazy friends that want to join you

然后事实总是， 有一群疯子朋友想加入你，

in those impossible endeavors.

一起做些不可思议的尝试。

I'm always surrounded by amazing friends that only help me to be better.

我身边总有些令人惊喜的朋友， 让我变得更好。

Nate came next to me.

比如坐在我身边的 Nate。

This was a Monday, and this is what we found.

当时是周一， 我们看到的是这样的场景，

The destruction you saw on TV, one more hurricane,

你在电视上看到的破坏 感觉不过又是一次飓风，

but this destruction was real.

但这个破坏是真真切切的。

More than 95 percent of the electricity in the island was gone.

这个岛上超过 95% 的电力被毁坏了。

Every single electric post was gone.

每一个电线杆都毁了。

All the cell towers were gone.

所有的基站都没了。

You couldn't communicate with anybody.

你联系不到任何人。

You couldn't find anybody the moment you moved away from San Juan.

你一离开圣胡安（波多黎各首都） 就找不到任何人，

Even in San Juan, we had issues trying to use our cell phones.

甚至在圣胡安，使用手机也不方便。

And what I found was that the island was hungry,

而且我发现，这座岛屿正处于饥荒中，

and the people didn't have money, because ATMs were not working,

人们没有钱，因为 ATM 机不能用，

or their cards, which are electronic, for food stamps,

而他们参与食品补助项目的电子卡

they couldn't use it in their supermarkets,

也不能在超市中使用，

or there was no food or gas or clean water to cook.

没有食物、燃气， 也没有干净的水煮饭。

The need and the urgency of now was real,

当前面临的需求和紧迫感很真实，

and I was just able to get into a meeting at FEMA,

我刚参加完 美国联邦应急管理署（FEMA）的会议，

where many of the main NGO partners were having a conversation

会上许多主要的 非政府组织成员都在讨论

about how to feed the island in the weeks to come,

我们要如何在未来几周 为岛上的居民提供食物，

but the urgency was right now, in this minute, in this second,

但是这个问题迫在眉睫， 此时此刻就得解决，

and we almost had three million people that needed to be fed.

而且我们要服务将近三百万人。

So we began doing what we do best.

因此我们开始尽我们最大的努力。

We went to see the sources of food,

我们去查看食物的来源，

and I was able to see that the private industry actually was ready

然后我发现那些私人餐馆 实际上是可用的，

and prepared and thriving,

已经完全准备好了，

but somebody at FEMA was not able even to be aware of that.

但美国联邦应急管理署的一些人 并没有意识到这点。

And what we did was use fine kitchens.

于是我们用了那些现成的厨房。

José Enrique, one of my favorite men in the whole world,

这是 José Enrique， 这世界上我最喜欢的一个人，

在圣胡安最棒的一个餐厅工作。

one of the great restaurants in San Juan,

where before landing, I began calling all the chefs of Puerto Rico,

在我到达前，我开始召集所有 来自波多黎各的厨师，

and everybody was like, "Let's not plan, let's not meet,

结果大家的反应都是 “别计划了，别开会了，

let's start cooking."

我们直接开始做吧。”

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And that's what we did.

然后我们就那么做了。

我们开始为波多黎各人提供食物。

We began feeding the people of Puerto Rico, on a Monday.

在一个周一，我们做了 1000 顿 sancocho，

We began bringing food trucks,

然后志愿者就开始来了。

Why? Because everybody wants to find a place to help,

This is how we began our first delivery.

这是我们第一次送外卖的场景。

The hospitals -- nobody was feeding the nurses and the doctors,

taking care of the sick and the elderly and the people in need."

we never stopped serving them,

went to the government command center,

started to have some meetings with people,

Red Cross didn't have the right answers,

红十字会也不会有妥善的答复，

because Southern Baptist Church, the biggest food organization in America,

my heroes, they were never called to Puerto Rico.

我的英雄们， 他们从来没有想到波多黎各。

When you see the Red Cross delivering food in America after a hurricane,

it's Southern Baptist Church doing it.

We didn't have that in Puerto Rico.

knocking on our door, asking for a tray of food,

That's where we began cooking.

You were there with me,

你们也在那儿，

and that's why we spent every single dollar we had in our credit cards.

这就是为什么我们要 花光信用卡里每分钱。

If AmEx is listening to this, please, a discount would be appreciated.

如果运通卡的人正在听， 请给个折扣，不胜感激。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

我们知道谁参与了营养补助项目， 谁在用食品券，

the cards.

食品卡。

We know who has them and we know who is using them.
