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

各位想知道我最愛的字是什麼嗎？

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

It's the F word.

F 開頭的那個字。

(Audience: Yeah!)

（觀眾：讚啦！）

Some people think it's a little dirty.

有些人覺得這字有點髒，

Others really like to throw it around.

也有些人常在用這個字。

Oh, y’all thought I meant “fuck”?

喔，你以為是「幹（fuck）」？

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

No, no, no, no, no.

不，不，不，不。

My favorite word is “fandom.”

我最愛的詞是「粉絲團 （fandom）」。

This talk is about fandom

這場演說要談的是粉絲團，

and how fandom can enrich your life

及粉絲團為什麼能豐富你的人生，

and build a community of people

並建立一個團體，讓你接觸 你平時可能不會交談的人。

that you might not have always talked to, right?

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

但我相信，當談到粉絲團時，

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

各位都會想到阿宅、 角色扮演、粉絲小說、

頸鬍，和待在黑暗 地下室裡的人等等。

and people in dark basements and stuff.

And all that is true.

這些也都是真的。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

But you also probably think about America's ass.

但你也有可能在想美國隊長的靚臀。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

I do.

我懂。

(Laughter and cheers)

（笑聲和歡呼）

And yes, fandom is all of this stuff,

是的，上述通通都與粉絲團有關，

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

但粉絲團其實是有共同 熱情的一群人組成的團體。

Fandom is a community of people that share a passion.

粉絲團是有共同熱情的 一群人組成的團體。

Right?

對吧？任何事物都是一種光譜。

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

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

有一般粉絲，

有粉絲，

有鐵粉，

and then you have your fanatics.

然後還有狂熱分子。

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

有可能會變得非常可怕，

就像那可怕的東西， 每次看到它，我都會嚇跑。

Every time I see it, I run scared.

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

對不起所有費城費城人隊的 粉絲，它很可怕，對吧？

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

但我想談談粉絲和狂熱分子的差別。

and being a fanatic, right?

Fans want to bring in joy.

粉絲想要帶來歡樂。

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

他們會想盡可能多跟你分享一些。

Fanatics are --

狂熱分子是——

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

我昨晚在看《歐比王》， 所以滿腦子《星際大戰》——

But fanatics are those "Star Wars" fans

但算是《星際大戰》狂熱分子的粉絲

that chased two grown women off of the internet

離開網路之後還會去 追兩位成年女子，

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

因為也們把千年鷹號給了一個女孩，

They weren't happy about that.

這些粉絲對此很不爽， 那就算是狂熱分子。

Those are fanatics.

We want to be fans.

我們要當粉絲，不要當狂熱分子。

We don't want to be fanatics, right?

Because fans create worlds.

因為粉絲會創造世界。

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

一旦故事結束了，一旦電影拍完了，

they want to keep it going.

粉絲會想讓它延續下去。

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

所以他們會開始創作角色扮演、

粉絲小說、電玩遊戲。

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

我自己就有很多感受和粉絲團，

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

所以我有一份電子報， 我記得的時候就會去寫。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And also, because we're friends here,

且，因為在這裡我們是朋友，

I cosplay.

我會做角色扮演。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

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

這方面我不是新手，我是真行家。

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

儘管電影已經結束了，

我仍想參與所有我熱愛的世界。

even though the movie was over.

Fans aren't gatekeepers.

粉絲不是守門者。

Y'all can clap.

各位可以拍手。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

We all have that friend that watches us watch a movie

我們都認識這種人： 他們要我們看某部電影，

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

因為他們希望我們 也喜歡他們喜歡的那部分。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

That is a fan.

那種人是粉絲。

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

狂熱分子則是會在我走進入 漫畫書店時考我，

thinking because I look like this,

他們認為因為我長這個樣子，

that I can't know about comics, right?

我就不可能懂漫畫。

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

粉絲會從一些最宅的地方 學到人生教訓。

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

快速舉個例子，

在座誰是拓荒者隊的粉絲？

(Cheers and applause)

（歡呼和掌聲）

Right.

是的。

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

我相信你們都是很有耐心的人。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Y'all will continue to be patient.

你們會繼續耐心等待的。

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

選秀第七順位， 對各位真不是好消息。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

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

或者若你們是俄勒岡鴨子女子 籃球隊的粉絲，大家都應該是——

(Cheers and applause)

（歡呼和掌聲）

You probably understand the importance of women in power,

你們可能可以了解 女性擁有權力的重要性，

the value of women in sports

女性能參與運動的價值，

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

整體上你可能是一個更棒的人。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

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

因為若能善用粉絲團， 它會比任何票房數字都強大。

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

若能善用粉絲團，它會 比任何票房數字都強大。

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

你會遇到你通常 不見得會去交談的人。

You learn from so many different people

你能向這麼多不同的人學習，

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

且你會從你所愛的 事物當中學到很多，

Whether or not you realize it, right?

不論你自己是否有意識到。

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

想想你青少年時期 在置物櫃上會貼什麼，

or in your three-ring binder

或者在你的活頁夾裡放什麼，

or even on your phone background right now.

Something somewhere has inspired you

We were forced to watch them,

不論我們喜不喜歡網球， 都被迫要看大小威廉斯。

whether or not we liked tennis or not.

(Laughter)
