程度副詞

But I think in my career that's been a good thing.

但我想在我的工作上那是一件好事。

and I've seen some horrible things in the world.

I began my career working police abuse cases in the United States.

而我見過世界上一些非常可怕的事情，

我的職涯始於處理美國的警察濫權案件，

to be the director of the U.N.'s genocide investigation.

It turns out that tears just aren't much help

做聯合國的盧安達大屠殺調查團團長，

when you're trying to investigate a genocide.

結果發現當你試著調查一件大屠殺事件的時候

The things I had to see, and feel and touch

那些我必須看到、感覺和觸碰的東西，

was one of the world's greatest failures of simple compassion.

That word, compassion, actually comes from two Latin words:

是人類世界同情心數一數二的大失敗。

cum passio, which simply mean "to suffer with."

同情心（compassion） 這個字其實源自兩個拉丁語的字：

And the things that I saw and experienced

「cum passio」， 直接的意思就是「和什麼人一起受苦」

in Rwanda as I got up close to human suffering,

而那些我在盧安達看到和經歷的事物，

But I just wish that I, and the rest of the world,

但我希望我自己，和整個世界。

with one of the world's greatest successes of compassion.

And that's the fight against global poverty.

我也經歷了同情心所帶來最好的成果，

It's a cause that probably has involved all of us here.

也就是全球性的對抗貧窮的運動。

這場運動可能跟我們所有人都有關係。

might have been choruses of "We Are the World,"

我不知道你們第一次了解到貧窮問題，

or maybe the picture of a sponsored child on your refrigerator door,

是因為〈We Are the World〉這首合唱曲，

or maybe the birthday you donated for fresh water.

或是你家冰箱門上貼的資助兒童的照片，

I don't really remember what my first introduction to poverty was

或是你生日時捐助了新鮮的飲用水。

我不太記得什麼讓我第一次了解貧窮問題，

When I met her, she had walked about 12 miles

當我看到她，她走了19多公里的路

to come to the capital city and to share her story.

just ushered me in to the world of poverty.

She described what it was like when the coals on the cooking fire

她所描述貧窮的景況， 像是：燒爐火的煤炭

When that last drop of cooking oil finally ran out.

When the last of the food, despite her best efforts,

She had to watch her youngest son, Peter,

as his legs just slowly bowed into uselessness.

For over 50 years, stories like this have been moving us to compassion.

過去五十年，像這樣的故事 激起我們的同情心

And we're moved not only to care about global poverty,

but to actually try to do our part to stop the suffering.

Now there's plenty of room for critique that we haven't done enough,

and what it is that we've done hasn't been effective enough,

現在有許多批判的空間， 顯示我們做得還不夠。

The fight against global poverty is probably the broadest,

longest running manifestation of the human phenomenon of compassion

對抗貧窮的活動大概是人們的同情心

And so I'd like to share a pretty shattering insight

that might forever change the way you think about that struggle.

But first, let me begin with what you probably already know.

可能會從此改變你對於對抗貧窮的想法。

Thirty-five years ago, when I would have been graduating from high school,

不過首先， 我還是從大家知道的一些事情開始。

they told us that 40,000 kids every day died because of poverty.

35年前，我將從高中畢業的時候

That number, today, is now down to 17,000.

現在的數字已經降到一萬七千人。

there's eight million kids who don't have to die from poverty.

Moreover, the number of people in our world

有八百萬個孩童不再死於貧窮。

which is defined as living off about a dollar and a quarter a day,

and this exceeds everybody's expectations about what is possible.

I think, honestly, that we can feel proud and encouraged

to see the way that compassion actually has the power

to succeed in stopping the suffering of millions.

But here's the part that you might not hear very much about.

If you move that poverty mark just up to two dollars a day,

it turns out that virtually the same two billion people

如果把貧窮的標準上移到一天2美元，

who were stuck in that harsh poverty when I was in high school,

So why, why are so many billions still stuck in such harsh poverty?

Well, let's think about Venus for a moment.

為什麼有這麼多的幾十億人仍深陷於極度貧窮？

Now for decades, my wife and I have been moved by common compassion

幾十年來，我妻子和我出於惻隱之心，

to support generous levels of foreign aid.

But until I had actually talked to Venus,

I would have had no idea that none of those approaches

不過若不是到我跟維納斯談過後，

actually addressed why she had to watch her son die.

都沒辦法改變她看著她兒子死去。

「我們本來過得還好，」維納斯告訴我

Now, Brutus is Venus' neighbor and "cause trouble"

「直到布魯圖斯開始找麻煩。」

is what happened the day after Venus' husband died,
