程度副詞

We're enormously proud as an organisation to be able to put up the thousands plaque and that it's on our watch, and

作為一個組織，我們非常自豪能夠設立這塊「數千」牌匾，而且是在我們的任內完成，

thrilled that it will be to the suffrage organisation, the Women's Freedom League.

而且很高興這塊牌匾將是獻給爭取婦女參政權組織——婦女自由聯盟。

轉承詞

We've been making blue plaques for over 20 years and a blue plaque is so significant because it tells people that either the building is very important or someone of significance lived there.

我們製作藍色牌匾已經超過20年了，藍色牌匾之所以如此重要，是因為它告訴人們，這棟建築物非常重要，或者有重要人物曾居住於此。

And it's a way of reminding people that the famous names that they know, you know, once walk the same streets as they did.

這是一種提醒人們的方式，讓他們知道他們所認識的那些名人，曾經和他們走在同一條街道上。

I'm Rebecca Preston, blue plaques historian with the English Heritage London scheme, and

我是Rebecca Preston，英格蘭遺產倫敦計畫的藍色牌匾歷史學家，

I've come here today to have a look at the place where our 1000th blue plaque will be going up.

我今天來到這裡，是為了看看我們第1000塊藍色牌匾即將設立的地點。

The Women's Freedom League campaigned for women's suffrage, the vote and for equal rights more generally.

婦女自由聯盟致力於爭取婦女參政權、投票權以及更廣泛的平等權利。

And they were formed in 1907 after a split with the Women's Social and Political Union, better known as the Suffragettes.

它們成立於1907年，當時是從婦女社會政治聯盟（更廣為人知的名稱是婦女參政論者）分裂出來的。

English Heritage is trying to redress the balance between plaques to men, of which there are an awful lot, and

英格蘭遺產正在努力平衡男性牌匾（數量非常多）與

plaques to women, which there are significantly fewer.

女性牌匾（數量明顯較少）之間的比例。

It's a great thing to be involved in and progress has been made, but

參與其中是很棒的事，而且也確實有進步，但

For real equality, the League used principles of non violent direct action, such as withholding taxes of various forms.

為了真正的平等，聯盟採取了非暴力直接行動的原則，例如各種形式的扣繳稅款。

And they led the way in boycotting the 1911 census, which was also picked up by other suffrage organisations.

而且他們率先抵制了1911年的人口普查，這也被其他爭取婦女參政權組織採納了。

The league's motto in 1908 was dare to be Free, underlining its aim to emancipate women in general, not just to have have the vote.

聯盟在1908年的座右銘是「敢於自由」，強調其目標是解放女性，而不僅僅是擁有投票權。

Among its leading members were Charlotte Despard, Teresa Billington Gregg and Edith Howe Martin.

其主要成員包括 Charlotte Despard、Teresa Billington Gregg 和 Edith Howe Martin。

because it isn't so much associated with a single figurehead in the way that the two other suffrage organizations were, I think that's contributed to the fact it's not so well known and has an undeservedly lesser public profile.

因為它不像其他兩個爭取婦女參政權組織那樣與單一領袖人物有關聯，我認為這導致了它不太出名，公眾形象也是以被低估了。

Perhaps after the Equal Franchise act of 1928, when women finally got the vote on the same terms of men, the League switched to campaigning for equal rights, equal pay.

或許在1928年《婦女平等選舉權法》通過後，當女性終於獲得與男性相同的投票權時，聯盟便轉而爭取平等權利、同工同酬。

And it continued to campaign until 1961, when it was finally dissolved.

它一直持續爭取權益直到1961年，最終才解散。

When the League was founded in 1907, it took headquarters in Buckingham street, just off the Strand.

聯盟於1907年創立時，將總部設在白金漢街，就在河岸街附近。

And then the following year it moved here, a few streets away to Number One Robert street, where the plaque will be placed.

隔年，他們搬到了這裡，離這裡幾條街的羅伯特街一號，牌匾將會被安放在這裡。

Number One Robert street was part of the pioneering development near Delphi, built between 1768 and 1774.

羅伯特街一號是德爾菲附近開創性開發的一部分，建於1768年至1774年間。

And in fact, it's one of the few parts to survive, because most of it was pulled down in 1936.

事實上，它是少數倖存的部分，因為大部分在1936年被拆除了。

This was the Women's Freedom League's longest address, and it was where they were most active.

這是婦女自由聯盟最長的地址，也是他們最活躍的地方。

It was really important in terms of the suffrage campaign.

這對爭取婦女參政權的運動來說非常重要。

There was also a suffrage library where campaign books and pamphlets could come and be consulted.

這裡還有一個婦女參政權圖書館，可以查閱運動相關的書籍和手冊。

And it would have been a really bustling headquarters with women coming in and out to collect pamphlets and the vote, the League's journal, and

這裡會是一個非常熱鬧的總部，女性們進進出出領取手冊和投票，還有聯盟的期刊，

a place where people made the next steps in the campaign.

也是人們為運動邁出下一步的地方。

So it would have been quite an exciting place to be around as well as inside, I think.

所以我想，這裡無論是周邊還是內部，都會是個相當令人興奮的地方。

In 2016, just after English Heritage became a charity, we launched an appeal asking the public to nominate more remarkable women from the past.

2016 年，就在英格蘭遺產倫敦計畫轉為慈善機構後，我們發起了募款活動，邀請大眾提名更多過去傑出的女性。

And since then, we've had a huge increase.

And I'm really pleased to say that for the first time, the blue Plaques panel, our panel of experts, is approving more plaques to women than men.

我很高興地宣佈，藍色牌匾委員會，也就是我們的專家小組，首次核准頒發給女性的牌匾數量多於男性。

We're also enormously grateful to our donors who make the scheme possible, along with members of the public who also are very generous.

我們也非常感謝讓這個計畫得以實現的捐助者，以及同樣慷慨的公眾。

Without them, our work would not be possible.

沒有他們，我們的工作將無法進行。

It's a great privilege to work on a scheme like this that's been running for over 150 years.

能參與這個已運行超過 150 年的計畫，是莫大的榮幸。

I know I can speak for my colleagues, too, that it gives us great pleasure to walk around London and to see a plaque and to know that it would be enjoyed by future generations.

我知道我的同事們也有同感，當我們走在倫敦，看到一個牌匾，並知道它將被後代欣賞時，我們都感到非常高興。

It's an important part of the London blue plaque scheme that the original building should survive.

倫敦藍色牌匾計畫中很重要的一點是，原始建築必須保留下來。

We believe it's the building that makes the connection between the people of the past and the London of today.

我們相信是建築物連結了過去的人們與今日的倫敦。
