I'm going to host a dinner party for my friends, but this dinner party is a little bit different.

我要為我的朋友舉辦一個派對，但這次的派對有點不同。

See, each one of my friends has to pay $50 to enter and when they pay me $50, they'll be randomly given a meal.

我的每個朋友都必須支付 50 美元才能入場，當他們支付給我 50 美元時，他們將隨機獲得一頓飯。

One of them will get a very fancy meal with a drink, utensils on a table with a chair.

其中的一個人會得到高級的餐點，有飲料、有桌子及餐具，還有椅子。

Others will only get a fast food meal and there will be seated on the ground, and the unlucky ones will get a handful of rice and be seated outside on the grass to eat it.

其他人只會得到速食餐點，而且要坐在地上，而倒霉的人會拿到一把米飯，並坐在外面的草地上吃。

Each one of these people will have paid the same for their meal.

他們每一個人都為他們的餐點支付相同的費用。

Now, I know the first thing to come to your mind: this is unfair.

我知道你第一時間會想到：這很不公平！

It is! They all paid the same, but some got better meals than others.

沒錯！他們都付一樣的錢，但有些人的餐點卻比其他人的好。

As unfair as this process looks, it's an accurate representation of the world: we are all born as equal human beings, but we are not born in equal circumstances.

儘管這個過程看起來不公平，但它真實地反映了世界，就是我們都是生而平等的人，但我們並非生在平等的環境中。

This meal represents your life if you were born in Madagascar, a country that is one of the poorest in the world where you won't have access to much food, Internet, or security.

如果你出生在馬達加斯加，那這頓飯代表了你的生活。馬達加斯加是世界上最貧窮的國家之一，是個無法獲得太多食物、互聯網或安全保障的地方。

This meal represents your life if you were born in Mexico, a country that is richer than Madagascar with middle-class income but far from being rich.

如果你出生在墨西哥，那這頓飯代表你的生活，這個國家比馬達加斯加更富有，擁有中產階級收入，但遠非富裕。

And this meal represents your life if you were born here in Utah, United States, where everyone makes an average of $65,000 lives in nice homes with no fear of war, famine or civil war.

最後如果你出生在美國猶他州，這頓飯代表了你的生活，在這裡，每個人的平均收入為 65,000 美元，住在漂亮的房子裡，不用擔心戰爭、飢荒或內戰。

No one can choose where they are born or how much money they are born with. It's called privilege, and everyone is born with it; some more than others, including me.

沒有人可以選擇他們出生在哪裡或他們出生時有多少錢，這叫做特權，每個人都與生俱來；有些人比其他人多，包括我。

The point of this dinner is not to attack or punish the lucky ones or look down and pity the unlucky ones, it is to open your eyes to the idea that your meal came to you by no choice of yours.

這頓晚餐的目的不是攻擊或懲罰幸運的人，也不是看不起和憐憫不幸的人，而是要看清你的餐點不是你自己選擇的。

That some of your success and some of my success came to us by no choice of ours.

就像你的成功還有我的成功並不是我們選擇的。

And that is the game of life from a simple dinner table simulation that you can have at your home.

這就是你可以在家中進行模擬生活的簡易餐桌遊戲。

So, let us all work for a future where everyone can have this type of meal for dinner.

讓我們大家都為未來每個人都可以平等地享用晚餐而努力吧！
