基礎被動語態

I was informed that I would be doing a TED Talk.

我被告知要發表一場 TED 的演說。

一開始我很興奮，然後變成緊張，

然後又很興奮，然後又很緊張，

and in between the excitement and the panicking,

and my research primarily consisted of Googling how to give a great TED Talk.

我的研究主要是用 Google 搜尋： 如何發表一場完美的 TED 演說。

我也查詢了 奇瑪曼達．恩格茲．阿迪契。

So I was Googling her because I always Google her

我 Google了她 因為我經常 Google 她，

but also because she always has important and interesting things to say.

而且因為她總是講了 重要又有趣的事情。

on what happens when we have a solitary lens

through which to understand certain groups of people,

It's the talk that I would have given if I had been famous first.

如果當初是我先成名的話， 這就是我想進行的演講。

You know, and you know, like, she's African and I'm African,

你知道，就像，她是非洲人， 而我也是非洲人；

她是女權主義者， 而我也是女權主義者；

and she's a storyteller and I'm a storyteller,

所以我真的認為那是我的演講。

So I decided that I was going to learn how to code,

and then I was going to hack the internet

and I would take down all the copies of that talk that existed,

把所有這場演講的影片全部刪除，

and then I would come here and deliver it as if it was my own speech.

然後就把它當成自己的演講說出來。

So that plan was going really well, except the coding part,

整個計劃進行得非常成功， 除了寫程式的部分之外；

to the news that the wife of a certain presidential candidate

看到一則新聞當中， 某位總統候選人的太太

that sounded eerily like a speech given by one of my other faves,

感覺很詭異，聽起來像是 另一個我喜歡的人在演講，

And so I decided that I should probably write my own TED Talk,

於是我決定應該寫一篇 自己的 TED 演講稿，

I'm here to talk about my own observations about storytelling.

我要說的是自己對於 「說故事」的觀察。

I want to talk to you about the power of stories, of course,

當然，我會告訴你故事的力量，

but I also want to talk about their limitations,

particularly for those of us who are interested in social justice.

特別是對於我們之中， 某些關注社會正義的人。

So since Adichie gave that talk seven years ago,

自從七年前阿迪契的演講之後，

and if there was a danger in the telling of one tired old tale,

then I think there has got to be lots to celebrate about the flourishing

但我還是認爲能有這麼多的故事，

能有這麼多的聲音出現， 是很值得慶祝的事。

In fact, today, if you are middle class and connected via the internet,

實際上，如今，如果你屬於中產階級， 而且能連上網際網路，

you can download stories at the touch of a button

你可以下載很多故事， 只需要按下滑鼠按鈕，

about what it's like to grow up Dalit in Kolkata.

瞭解加爾各答地區的 賤民階層如何生活。

You can hear an indigenous man in Australia

talk about the trials and triumphs of raising his children in dignity

談論關於教育出端莊、 具有自尊的孩子，

所需要進行的嘗試與成功經驗。

to talk about the deaths of people in our societies

談論社會上某些市井小民的死亡，

who don't matter, because they make us care.

and I actually work for a place called the Centre for Stories.

事實上我在一個叫 「故事中心」的地方工作。

that challenge mainstream narratives about what it means to be black

說出一些挑戰主流論述的故事， 例如我們經常討論的議題：

or a Muslim or a refugee or any of those other categories

以及其他族群，背後所代表的含意。

after a long history as a social justice activist,

是在我長期從事社會正義行動之後，

that people talk about nonfiction storytelling

是人們在談論「紀實故事」時 所持的態度和方式，

as though it's about more than entertainment,

as though it's about being a catalyst for social action.

that stories make the world a better place.

Increasingly, though, I worry that even the most poignant stories,

不過我開始擔心： 即使是最讓人感動的故事，

particularly the stories about people who no one seems to care about,

can often get in the way of action towards social justice.

也經常會妨礙到社會正義的進行。

Now, this is not because storytellers mean any harm.

這不是因爲說故事的人 故意要造成傷害。

Storytellers are often do-gooders like me and, I suspect, yourselves.

說故事的人通常是想要做好事的人， 例如我，以及在座的你們。

are often deeply compassionate and empathetic people.

通常也是充滿熱情和同情心的人。

Still, good intentions can have unintended consequences,

但是，好的動機也會導致 意想不到的後果，

and so I want to propose that stories are not as magical as they seem.

所以我想強調的是， 說故事並不像看起來那麽神奇。

So three -- because it's always got to be three --

有三個原因，總是要有三個──

that stories don't necessarily make the world a better place.

故事不一定會讓世界變得更好。

Firstly, stories can create an illusion of solidarity.

首先，故事能產生一種 「共同一致」的幻覺。

There is nothing like that feel-good factor you get

沒有其他東西能夠像 聽了奇幻故事一樣，
