Never before has the phrase "I am British" elicited so much pity.

從來沒有一句 "我是英國人 "引來如此多的憐憫。

I come from an island where many of us like to believe

我來自一個島國，我們很多人都喜歡相信

there's been a lot of continuity over the last thousand years.

在過去的一千年裡，有很多的連續性。

We tend to have historically imposed change on others

我們傾向於歷史性地將改變強加給他人。

所以對我來說是一個巨大的打擊

to discover that my country had voted to leave the European Union,

發現我國已投票決定脫離歐盟。

and Scotland was considering a referendum

that could bring to an end the very existence of the United Kingdom.

這可能會結束聯合王國的存在。

所以這對我來說是一個巨大的衝擊。

and it was an immense shock for many people,

而這對很多人來說都是一個巨大的衝擊。

but it was also something that, over the following several days,

但這也是在接下來的幾天裡，。

There were calls for a second referendum,

有人呼籲舉行第二次全民投票。

幾乎就像，一場體育比賽之後。

we could ask the opposition for a replay.

for calling the referendum in the first place.

They blamed the leader of the opposition for not fighting it hard enough.

他們責怪反對派領導人不夠努力奮鬥。

The educated blamed the less well-educated.

受過教育的人指責受教育程度不高的人。

That complete meltdown was made even worse

levels of xenophobia and racist abuse in the streets of Britain

仇外心理和種族主義虐待行為的嚴重程度

People are now talking about whether my country is becoming a Little England,

現在人們都在討論我國是否正在成為小英格蘭。

或者，正如我的一位同事所說的，

whether we're about to become a 1950s nostalgia theme park

我們是否要成為一個50年代的懷舊主題公園？

should we have the degree of shock that we've experienced since?

我們是否應該有此後經歷的震盪程度？

Was it something that took place overnight?

Or are there deeper structural factors that have led us to where we are today?

還是有更深層次的結構性因素導致我們今天的處境？

So I want to take a step back and ask two very basic questions.

所以我想退一步，問兩個很基本的問題。

但對於我們全世界的人來說呢？

後知後覺是一件很奇妙的事情。

Brexit teaches us many things about our society

Brexit教會了我們很多關於社會的事情。

It highlights in ways that we seem embarrassingly unaware of

它突出了我們似乎尷尬地沒有意識到的方式。

The vote split along lines of age, education, class and geography.

選票按年齡、學歷、階層和地域劃分。

Young people didn't turn out to vote in great numbers,

Older people really wanted to leave the European Union.

Geographically, it was London and Scotland that most strongly committed

從地理上看，倫敦和蘇格蘭是最堅定的承諾。

while in other parts of the country there was very strong ambivalence.

而在國內其他地區，則存在著非常強烈的矛盾情緒。

Those divisions are things we really need to recognize and take seriously.

這些分歧是我們真正需要認識和認真對待的問題。

But more profoundly, the vote teaches us something

但更深刻的是，這次投票給我們的啟示是

Contemporary politics is no longer just about right and left.

當代政治不再是單純的左右之爭。

The fault line of contemporary politics is between those that embrace globalization

當代政治的斷層是那些擁護全球化的人

If we look at why those who wanted to leave --

如果我們看看那些想離開的人為什麼要離開 -- --

we call them "Leavers," as opposed to "Remainers" --

我們稱他們為 "離職者"，而不是 "留守者"... ...

我們從民意調查中看到兩個因素

The first was immigration, and the second sovereignty,

第一個是移民，第二個是主權。

and these represent a desire for people to take back control of their own lives

而這些都代表了人們重新掌控自己生活的願望。

and the feeling that they are unrepresented by politicians.

以及感覺自己沒有得到政治家的代表。

But those ideas are ones that signify fear and alienation.

但這些想法是象徵著恐懼和疏遠的。

They represent a retreat back towards nationalism and borders

它們代表著對民族主義和邊界的退縮。

以我們很多人都會拒絕的方式。

What I want to suggest is the picture is more complicated than that,

我想說的是，畫面比這更復雜。

like myself, and I firmly include myself in that picture,

像我自己，我堅定地把自己也包括在這個畫面裡。

need to write ourselves back into the picture

in order to understand how we've got to where we are today.

以瞭解我們是如何走到今天這一步的。

When we look at the voting patterns across the United Kingdom,

當我們審視英國各地的投票模式時，。

我們可以明顯地看到這些分歧。

what personally struck me was the very little time in my life

令我個人印象深刻的是，在我的生活中，我的時間非常少

I've actually spent in many of the red areas.

其實我在很多紅色區域都有消費。

I suddenly realized that, looking at the top 50 areas in the UK

我突然意識到，從英國排名前50位的地區來看

I've spent a combined total of four days of my life in those areas.

我在這些地區總共花了四天的時間。

I didn't even know the names of the voting districts.

這對我來說是一個真正的衝擊。
