程度副詞

I'm here today to talk to you about a very powerful little word,

(譯者: 雨思 陳 審譯者: Conway Ye) 今天我在這裏 和大家討論一個短小卻有力的詞，

Not the lowercase, muttered-behind-my-back kind,

or the seemingly harmless chubby or cuddly.

I'm not even the more sophisticated voluptuous or curvaceous kind.

更不是什麽凹凸有致的豐腴胖子。

我就是房間裡顯而易見的大象。

because everybody knows that fat people are funny."

因為所有人有覺得胖子很搞笑。”

Or you may have been thinking, "Where does she get her confidence from?"

或者妳又會想，“她哪來的勇氣？”，

Because a confident fat woman is almost unthinkable.

因為我們幾乎無法 想像一個“自信的胖女人”

The fashion-conscious members of the audience

may have been thinking how fabulous I look

"Hmm, black would have been so much more slimming."

You may have wondered, consciously or not,

我是不是有糖尿病，有沒有伴侶，

有沒有在晚上7點後攝入碳水化合物。

You may have worried that you ate carbs after 7pm last night,

妳可能擔心妳昨晚7點後 攝入的碳水化合物，

and that you really should renew your gym membership.

這些想法會在不知不覺中加劇，

They can be directed at individuals and groups,

and they can also be directed at ourselves.

它們也會直接影響到我們自身。

And this way of thinking is known as fatphobia.

這種想法，被稱為“肥胖恐懼症”。

正如任何一種形式的體制壓迫，

fatphobia is deeply rooted in complex structures

對肥胖的恐懼已經通過各種形式漸漸深入人心，

就像資本主義 男權社會 和種族偏見一樣。

and that can make it really difficult to see,

where being fat is seen as being a bad person --

他們懶惰、貪吃、不健康、還缺少責任感，

and in control of our appetites, bodies and lives.

還能夠控制食欲、身體、以及自己的生活。

它存在於在媒體上 在公共衛生政策中。

because, after all, if we don't like it, we should just lose weight.

畢竟，如果不喜歡自己的樣子，只要減肥就好了。

This antifat bias has become so integral, so ingrained

這種“反胖”的偏見在我們看待自己和他人的時候，

that we rarely question why we have such contempt for people of size

我們卻從來不知道 為什麽對人們的體型會有如此的偏見，

然而，我們必須向其提出質疑，

because the enormous value we place on how we look

因為我們對自身的樣貌極其的重視

And do we really want to live in a society

如果一個人會因為不贊同一些獨特的社會認可，

where people are denied their basic humanity

if they don't subscribe to some arbitrary form of acceptable?

my sister used to teach ballet to a bunch of little girls in our garage.

我的姐姐在我家的車庫教一群小女孩跳芭蕾，

I was about a foot taller and a foot wider than most of the group.

我幾乎比那裏所有的小女孩都“大一號”

When it came to doing our first performance,

I was so excited about wearing a pretty pink tutu.

我因為要穿粉紅色的芭蕾舞裙而特別激動，

As the other girls slipped easily into their Lycra and tulle creations,

但是當其他女孩都輕鬆穿上緊身衣和芭蕾舞裙的時候，

not one of the tutus was big enough to fit me.

卻沒有一件我能穿得進的演出服

I was determined not to be excluded from the performance,

用所有人都能聽見的聲音跟她說，

“媽媽，我不需要tutu(普通的芭蕾舞裙)，

我要fourfour (圖上媽媽做的加大的演出服)！”

And although I didn't recognize it at the time,

僅管我那個時候還沒有意識到，

claiming space for myself in that glorious fourfour

這件超棒的演出服讓我自己感受到了認可，

was the first step towards becoming a radical fat activist.

它使我在成為徹底的肥胖活躍份子的道路上跨出了第一步

Now, I'm not saying that this whole body-love thing

我不是說 “愛身體”這件事情，

has been an easy skip along a glittering path of self-acceptance

只是一個簡單的自我接受的過程。

I soon learned that living outside what the mainstream considers normal

很快我就意識到，生活在主流認知之外，

can be a frustrating and isolating place.

是一件令人沮喪和感到孤立的事情

I've spent the last 20 years unpacking and deprogramming these messages,

我在過去的二十年一直在嘗試剖析並且試圖擺脫這種心態的影響
