Chris Anderson(作家，以長尾理論著名) 詢問我是否可以將過去25年來

Chris Anderson asked me if I could put the last 25 years

對抗貧窮的運動濃縮成10分鐘的TED講座。

of anti-poverty campaigning into 10 minutes for TED.

一個英國人竟然要求一個愛爾蘭人長話短說。

That's an Englishman asking an Irishman to be succinct.

我說 : " Chris啊，除非有奇蹟發生 。"

I said, "Chris, that would take a miracle."

他說 : " BONO，這不是一個展現你彌賽亞情結的好時機嗎? "

He said, "Bono, wouldn't that be a good use of your messianic complex?"

然後我又想，讓我們把涵蓋的時空超越25年吧。

Then I thought, let's go even further than 25 years.

讓我們回到基督誕生以前，也就是三千年以前，

Let's go back before Christ, three millennia,

回到那個，我心目中正義的腳步

to a time when, at least in my head, the journey for justice,

和對抗不公平及貧困的正要啟程的時代。

the march against inequality and poverty really began.

文明正要開始在尼羅河畔孕育，

civilization just getting started on the banks of the Nile,

某些奴隸，以猶太裔的牧羊人為例，

some slaves, Jewish shepherds in this instance,

我想他們渾身都是羊糞的味道吧，

對著坐在至高王位上的法老宣稱 :

proclaimed to the Pharaoh, sitting high on his throne,

‘ 吾皇，我們的地位是和你一樣的 ’

"We, your majesty-ness, are equal to you."

然後法老回說 " 喔，你們錯了 "

"你，你們這些可悲的下人，一定是在開玩笑吧。"

You, your miserableness, have got to be kidding."

然後他們就說了 " 不!不! 根據我們的聖書所說，

And they say, "No, no, that's what it says here

場景切到我們這個世紀，同一個國家，同一個金字塔，

Cut to our century, same country, same pyramids,

不同的人們正在散播同樣關於平等的思想

他們將虛擬的社交網路轉化為實際的行動，

They turn a social network from virtual to actual,

這好像是在為21世紀重開機一樣。

先不說前陣子的阿拉伯之春過後，

我們低估了接踵而來的混亂和醜陋，

the aftermath of the Arab Spring has been,

更不用說我們高估了科技在其中扮演的角色，

neither to oversell the role of technology,

but these things have given a sense of what's possible

when the age-old model of power, the pyramid,

由上而下反轉過來，把人民拉到塔頂，

gets turned upside down, putting the people on top

然後現代法老們被丟到底端去。

and the pharaohs of today on the bottom, as it were.

這同時也告訴我們，像資訊以及傳播

It's also shown us that something as powerful

這樣強而有力的東西，可以挑戰不平等的體制。

as information and the sharing of it can challenge inequality,

都希望不受拘束，而當他們不受到限制時，

和冷漠所導致的惰性提出質疑，

真相告訴我們什麼是可行的，而且

更重要的是，什麼是不可行的，所以我們可以去修正它，

more importantly, what's not, so we can fix it,

如果我們傾聽並關心真相時，它是有助於我們

facts that if we hear them and heed them could help us

去應對納尓遜·曼德拉 (前南非總統)在2005年

meet the challenge that Nelson Mandela made

當他請求我們成為一個偉大的世代，

when he asked us to be that great generation

that overcomes that most awful offense to humanity,

真相建立了一個強而有力的態勢。

真相，是現今唯一能放聲歌唱的，

The only thing singing today would be the facts,

我轉變成以證據為基礎的社會運動份子，也就是真相運動者。

Enter the evidence-based activist, the factivist.

人類通往平等那又長又慢的路程，

humanity's long, slow journey of equality,

Look at the pictures these data sets print.

自從公元2000年以來，自從這個千禧年以來，

Since the year 2000, since the turn of the millennium,

世界上多了八百萬個接受高效抗逆轉錄病毒療法

there are eight million more AIDS patients

getting life-saving antiretroviral drugs.

瘧疾 : 在非洲撒哈拉南邊八個國家

Malaria: There are eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa

that have their death rates cut by 75 percent.

五歲以下的小孩死亡人數，五歲以下的小孩，

For kids under five, child mortality, kids under five,

每年的數目已下降了265萬人次。

這代表每天有7,256個幼童被拯救。

That's a rate of 7,256 children's lives saved each day.

讓我們先暫停一下，說真的，然後想一想

Let's just stop for a second, actually, and think about that.

在過去的一週以來，你有在任何地方看到任何事，

Have you read anything anywhere in the last week

它的重要性能沾上這個數字的邊的嗎?

that is remotely as important as that number? Wow.

這是天大的好消息。讓我抓狂的是

絕大多數的人似乎不知道這個消息。

that most people don't seem to know this news.

每天有超過七千個小孩存活。這裡是其中的兩位。

Seven thousand kids a day. Here's two of them.

要感謝醫生 Patricia Asamoah ，她真的很了不起，

to Dr. Patricia Asamoah -- she's amazing --

還有Global Fund, 你們全都資助過它，

and the Global Fund, which all of you financially support,

Global Fund 提供了抗逆轉錄病毒的藥，

And the Global Fund provides antiretroviral drugs

這可以阻止擁有HIV的母親把病毒傳給小孩。

that stop mothers from passing HIV to their kids.

這樣神奇的事不是無來由的自己發生的，

This fantastic news didn't happen by itself.

它是被爭取來的，它是社會運動的訴求，

It was fought for, it was campaigned for,

而這個好消息催生了更多的好消息，

And this great news gives birth to even more great news,

The number of people living in back-breaking,

的極端貧窮的人數已經下降了，

soul-crushing extreme poverty has declined

從1990年佔全球人口的百分之43，

from 43 percent of the world's population in 1990

現今，這比率還是徧高，還是有太多的人

Now, the rate is still too high -- still too many people
