You know, when I was watching the video again of the match,

你知道嗎，當我再一次看你比賽的影片

you must have felt like the fate of the world's women

我想你一定感受到 就像全世界女性的命運

BJK: First of all, Bobby Riggs -- he was the former number one player,

比利：首先，鮑比·里格斯是前網球冠軍

He was one of my heroes and I admired him.

他是我心目中的英雄之一 而我很欽佩他

And that's the reason I beat him, actually, because I respected him.

而事實上，對他的尊敬 是我擊敗他的原因

It's true -- my mom and especially my dad always said:

這是真的— 我的父母，尤其是我的父親經常說：

"Respect your opponent, and never underestimate them, ever."

「尊重你的對手，永遠不可低估他們。」

And he was correct. He was absolutely correct.

但我知道這比賽關乎到社會的轉變

And I was really nervous whenever we announced it,

而在當時宣佈這件事時 我真的非常緊張

and I felt like the whole world was on my shoulders.

我感覺像全世界都在我的肩膀上

And I thought, "If I lose, it's going to put women back 50 years, at least."

而我當時在想：「如果我輸了， 這會令全女性的地位倒退最少50年。」

Title IX had just been passed the year before -- June 23, 1972.

第九條立法在前一年剛剛通過— 就在1972年6月23日

there were nine of us who signed a one-dollar contract in 1970 --

當時我們中的九個人 在1970年簽了一美元的合約—

So we were only in our third year of having a tour

我們當時只是參加巡回賽的第三年

where we could actually play, have a place to compete and make a living.

在那時，我們可以真正的玩（網球） 與人競爭以及養家糊口

So there were nine of us that signed that one-dollar contract.

因此我們九個人簽了一美元的合約

And our dream was for any girl, born any place in the world --

我們的夢想是讓每個 在任何地方出生的女孩

there would be a place for her to compete and for us to make a living.

就有一個讓她能與人競爭的機會 亦有我們糊口的地方

Because before 1968, we made 14 dollars a day,

因為在1968年前 我們每天的收入只有14美金

and we were under the control of organizations.

我們亦要屈服於組織的控制之下

So we really wanted to break away from that.

But we knew it wasn't really about our generation so much;

但我們也知道這對我們這一代沒什麼影響

we knew it was about the future generations.

We do stand on the shoulders of the people that came before us, there is no question.

毫無疑問，我們是踏在前人的肩膀上

But every generation has the chance to make it better.

I really wanted to start matching the hearts and minds to Title IX.

我真的想要去得到 其他人對第九條的全力支持

Title IX, in case anybody doesn't know, which a lot of people probably don't,

第九條，可能有很多人不曾知道

said that any federal funds given to a high school, college or university,

指出了所有聯邦政府 用在高中、學院及大學的資金

had to -- finally -- give equal monies to boys and girls.

給予男女的金額最終都必須是同等分量

but it's changing the hearts and minds to match up with it.

而這會將我們的支持引導向該法例

I wanted to start that change in the hearts and minds.

They actually had enough nerve to ask for a raise.

她們確實有了充分的勇氣去爭取更好

Some women have waited 10, 15 years to ask.

I said, "More importantly, did you get it?"

我說：「更重要的是，你們得到了嗎？」

在今天，很多男士都不曾認識到

but if you're in your 50s, 60s or whatever, late 40s,

如果你是在五、六十年代 甚至是在四十年代的時候

you're the first generation of men of the Women's Movement --

你是第一代牽涉於女權運動的男性

what happened for the men, they'd come up to me --

在男性身上發生了什麼？ 他們來到我的身邊

and most times, the men are the ones who have tears in their eyes,

大部分的時間，這些男性都含有淚水

They go, "Billie, I was very young when I saw that match,

他們說：「比利 我在很年輕的時候便看到了你的比賽

而到了現在，我已經有了一個女兒

And I am so happy I saw that as a young man."

我很開心 能在年輕的時候看到這比賽。」

And one of those young men, at 12 years old, was President Obama.

這些年輕人當中 有一個便是十二歲時的總統奧巴馬

And he actually told me that when I met him, he said:

"You don't realize it, but I saw that match at 12.

「你不會知道的 我在十二歲時看到這比賽

and it has made a difference in how I raise them."

這比賽令我教育她們的方式 有了很大的影響。」

So both men and women got a lot out of it, but different things.

所以男性和女性都從中得到很多 只是他們得到的不一樣

PM: And now there are generations -- at least one or two --

主持人：而現在有最少一到兩代人

that Title IX and other fights along the way made possible.

這是第九條及其他抗爭令它可能的

And for women, there are generations who have also experienced teamwork.

而這幾代的女性亦能經歷到團隊合作

They got to play team sports in a way they hadn't before.

她們能因此玩一些以前無法玩的團隊運動

So you had a legacy already built in terms of being an athlete,

是妳給了我們一份作為運動員的遺贈

a legacy of the work you did to lobby for equal pay for women athletes

一份讓女運動員能享受到平等待遇的遺贈

with The Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative?

BJK: I think it goes back to an epiphany I had at 12.

比利：這要追溯到在十二歲參加的主顯節

At 11, I wanted to be the number one tennis player in the world,

在十一歲時 我想要做世界第一的網球選手

and a friend had asked me to play and I said, "What's that?"

當時有一個朋友問我去玩（網球） 而我回應：「這是什麼？」

Tennis was not in my family -- basketball was, other sports.

網球在我的家庭中不常見 但籃球及其他運動卻不然

and I'm finally starting to play in tournaments

where you get a ranking at the end of the year.

So I was daydreaming at the Los Angeles Tennis Club,

我當時還在洛杉磯網球會所 發著白日夢

and I started thinking about my sport and how tiny it was,

我開始思考這個運動 到底它有多微小
