程度副詞

and for the even kinder work that you and  the Human Rights Campaign foundation

以及你和人權運動基金會夥伴們的全心的付出

do everyday on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and  transgender young people here and across America.

為全美各地的女同性戀者、男同性戀者、雙性戀者及跨性別者及年輕世代日以繼夜的努力

It is such an honor to be here at the inaugural  Time To Thrive conference,

這是我的榮幸 可以來到" Time to Thrive" 座談會發表開幕致詞

because of an organization whose work I deeply deeply admire.

因為我對這個組織所做的一切深深的感到敬佩

And I'm surrounded by people who make it their life's work  to make other people's lives better,

身邊有很多的人，他們一生的志業就是致力讓其他人的生命更美好

Some of you help young people heal and find their voice.

有些人幫助年輕朋友療傷、找尋他們的聲音

其中不乏你們本身就是這個年輕的世代

in which case it's even weirder for a young  person like me to be speaking to you.

在這種情況下，我在你們面前致詞就顯得更奇怪

representing in at least some sense an industry  that places crushing standards on all of us;

多少代表了在這個行業裡，它對我們所有人設立了嚴苛的標準

Standards that, I hate to admit, have affected me.

我不願意承認，這些標準確實影響了我

找回真實的自己  傾聽自己的內心

can do so much more together than any one person can do alone.

所有人的眾志成城總比單打獨鬥好得太多

And I hope that that thought bolsters you as much as it does me.

而我希望這樣的想法可以改變你 如同它如何支持我

I hope that the workshops you go to  over the next few days give you strength

我期盼在接下來幾天的工作坊中，可以帶給你力量

that there are days when you've worked longer hours  than your boss realizes or care about

你的老闆可能你對你某幾天超時的工作毫不知情或不在乎

just to help a kid who you know can make it.

而你就只是為了盡力幫助那些孩子追求自我

某些日子裡，當你感到極度的空虛

And I know there are people in this room who go to school every day and get treated like shit for no reason.

而我也知道在座有很多人  每天上學的時候 就必須無故必須承受那些冷嘲熱諷

Or you go home and you feel like you can't tell your parents  the whole truth about yourself.

或是當你回到家 卻沒有辦法在你的父母面前做回自己

And beyond putting yourself in one box or another  you worry about the future;

你急忙著把自己放在不同的框架裡  又要同時擔心著自己的未來

And trying to create that mental picture of your life,

of what on earth is going to happen to you

每天一點一滴就能侵蝕你的心靈

And sometimes it's the little insignificant stuff that can tear you down.

有時候只是一些枝微末節的事情，就可以把你擊垮

現在我試著不去碰那些八卦新聞

but the other day a website ran an article

但前幾天一個網站發表了一篇文章

with a picture of me wearing sweatpants on the way to the gym.

附上一張我穿著運動棉褲去健身房的照片

"Why does this petite beauty insist upon dressing as a massive man?"

為何這個漂亮小妞堅持穿得像個大隻佬？

There are pervasive stereotypes about masculinity and femininity

這裡面有太多對男子氣概或女性陰柔無所不在的刻板印象

that define how we're all supposed to act, dress and speak

這決定我們應有的行為舉止、穿著和說話方式

Anyone who defies these so-called norms  becomes worthy of comment and scrutiny.

任何人就拿著「正常」的放大鏡徹底的去檢視和評論他人

And the LGBT community knows this all to well.

而LGBT的朋友們對此也非常了然於心

但我們之中仍然存在著那些勇敢的人

the family who supports their daughter or son who has come out.

和那些支持他們的兒女走出櫃中的家庭

And I'm inspired to be in this room because  every single one of you is here for the same reason

我被你們鼓舞 因為每個人都因為相同的理由來到這裡

You're here because you've adopted as a core motivation

你們在這裡  就是一起相信著一個重要又簡單的事實

the simple fact that this world would be a whole lot better  if we just made an effort to be less horrible to one another.

只要我們能夠竭盡所能的善待他人  這世界就會變得更好

If we took just five minutes to recognize each other's beauty  instead of attacking each other for our differences.

如果我們肯花五分鐘 好好欣賞彼此的美而不是因為差異而互相攻擊

It's really an easier and better way to live.

Because loving other people starts with loving ourselves and accepting ourselves.

因為學會愛別人之前  要先懂得如何愛自己、接受自己本來的樣子

And I know many of you have struggled with this.

And I draw upon your strength and your support  in ways that you will never know.

你們不會曉得 我是因為你們的支持和力量才走到現在

今天我會站在這裡 更因為我是一名同志

to help others have an easier and more hopeful time.

去幫助其他人充滿希望和自在的生活

Regardless for me I feel a personal obligation  and a social responsibility.

無論如何，基於我個人的義務和社會的責任

厭倦了我的生活中充斥謊言、視而不見

I suffered for years because I was scared to be out.

這幾年的深受其擾只因為我害怕出櫃

And I'm standing here today with all of you  on the other side of that pain.

今天，我與你們同在，伴隨著過往那些痛苦
