James Nachtwey: Use my photographs to stop the worldwide XDR

譯者: 張新永 Davidchang 審譯者: Marie Wu

I was a student in the '60s, a time of social upheaval and questioning,

60年代時我是一個學生， 那時社會動盪不安且充滿疑惑，

and -- on a personal level -- an awakening sense of idealism.

至於在個人價值層面，理想主義正被喚醒。

The war in Vietnam was raging, the Civil Rights movement was under way

越南戰爭激戰正酣，民權運動正在進行，

and pictures had a powerful influence on me.

攝影對我影響很深。

Our political and military leaders were telling us one thing

我們的政軍領袖告訴我們的事實真相，

and photographers were telling us another.

攝影師們拍攝的照片卻有另一種解讀。

I believed the photographers and so did millions of other Americans.

我和數百萬的美國人一樣，寧願相信攝影師們。

Their images fuelled resistance to the war and to racism.

他們的照片促使我們反抗戰爭，反抗種族主義。

They not only recorded history -- they helped change the course of history.

攝影師們不僅僅記錄了歷史， 他們也實際協助參與改寫歷史。

Their pictures became part of our collective consciousness

這些照片已成為我們集體意識的一部分，

and, as consciousness evolved into a shared sense of conscience,

當這樣的意識發展為一種共有的良知時，

change became not only possible, but inevitable.

變革不僅僅變得可能，也不可避免了。

It puts a human face on issues which, from afar,

紀實攝影讓我們以人性的角度遠觀問題，

can appear abstract or ideological or monumental in their global impact.

並對整個世界產生抽象、思想上 或具紀念性質的衝擊。

What happens at ground level, far from the halls of power,

發生在社會最基層的問題， 是身處權力殿堂的人所不能理解，

happens to ordinary citizens one by one.

但那正是一般民眾所遭遇的真實情況。

And I understood that documentary photography

而且我明白，紀實攝影

has the ability to interpret events from their point of view.

有能力從自己的角度去詮釋問題，

It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.

並協助那些無法發聲的沈默大眾， 發出自己的呼聲。

My TED wish. There’s a vital story that needs to be told

關於我的 TED 願望， 我要告訴你們一個攸關生死的故事，

and I wish for TED to help me gain access to it

我希望 TED 能幫助我傳播這個故事，

and then to help me come up with innovative and exciting ways

繼而幫助我以創新及有趣的方式，

to use news photography in the digital era.

善加運用數位時代裡的新聞攝影。

Thank you very much.

非常感謝大家。
