情態副詞

I've always been weirdly obsessed with advertising.

I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons,

我對廣告一直有著異乎尋常的著迷

我記得小時候在星期六早上看卡通時

trying to figure out how they were trying to get inside my head.

我試著弄明白廣告是怎麼把信息植入我腦中的

I became a partner at a big New York ad agency.

而這一興趣最終將我帶向了我的

But then, all of that suddenly changed on February 23, 1997,

我成了紐約一間大型廣告公司的合夥人

when my little brother Matt was shot in the head

但在1997年2月23號 一夕之間風雲變色

in a shooting that happened on the observation deck

Suddenly, my family was thrown into the middle of a nightmare,

being told that my brother was going to die,

霎時 我們全家掉入了無底的噩夢

actually being given the opportunity to say goodbye to him,

接著在經歷了幾場緊急的腦部手術後

to a lifetime spent courageously recovering from a traumatic brain injury.

But as much as (Applause) -- yeah, deserves it --

但當 (掌聲) 是的 他值得我們尊敬

But as much as this tragedy was a nightmare for my family,

I often think about how much worse it could have been;

in fact, how much worse it is for the 90 families every day

我卻時常想著這情況原本也許會更糟

who lose loved ones -- brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, parents.

他們失去摯愛的親人 兄弟姊妹 妻兒老小

或者說 大多數情況下得不到關注

in a nation that's kind of come to accept a disgraceful national epidemic

這個國家已經將這件可恥的慘劇

to try and do something about this disgraceful national epidemic,

試著對這不名譽 的全國性瘟疫做點什麼

that the challenges to preventing gun violence

are actually the same ones that made me love advertising,

which is to try to figure out how to engage people.

Only instead of doing it to sell products,

And that comes down to finding common ground,

where what I want overlaps with what you want.

And you might be surprised to learn, when it comes to gun violence,

也就是我想要的 和你想要的有所重疊

Let's look, for example, at people who love to hunt,

a sport enjoyed by millions across the US.

the first day of hunting season is actually a school holiday.

Well, they want to hunt. They love their guns.

他們要的是能打獵， 他們喜愛他們的槍

in the Second Amendment right to own those guns.

But that doesn't mean there isn't common ground.

但這並不代表我 和他們的想法毫無重疊

starting with the basic idea of keeping guns out of dangerous hands.

This isn't about taking certain guns away from all people.

從避免槍枝落入有心人士手中的 基本概念開始講起

It's about keeping all guns away from certain people,

這並不代表把槍從所有人手上奪走

and it's the people that, it turns out, we all agree shouldn't have guns:

convicted violent criminals, domestic abusers,

how Brady background checks have been incredibly effective

in keeping guns out of those dangerous hands.

In 20 years, Brady background checks at federally licensed firearm dealers

to those people that we all agree shouldn't have guns.

從聯邦許可的槍枝經銷商 攔截2400萬筆

And whether you love guns or hate guns, you probably also appreciate

that there shouldn't be thousands of gun sales every day

just like there shouldn't be two lines to get on an airplane --

one with security and one with no security.

一條給檢查過的人， 另一條則否

And the numbers show the overwhelming agreement among the American public:

90 percent of Americans support expanding Brady background checks

而統計數字也表現了 美國大眾壓倒性的贊成:

to all gun sales -- including 90 percent of Republicans,

擴展到任何形式的槍枝買賣-- 包含了

In fact, only six percent of the American public disagrees.

That's about the percentage of the American public

that believes the moon landing was a fake.

And it's also about the percentage that believes the government

is putting mind-controlling technology in our TV broadcast signals.

That's the extent to which we agree about background checks.

這就是我們對背景調查的認同程度

already out there in homes across America?

that those guns are mostly in the hands and homes

of decent, law-abiding people like you and me,

那些槍多數都在 奉公守法的好公民

who want what we all want -- including keeping our families safe.

In fact, that's why more and more people are choosing to own guns.

Ten years ago, 42 percent of the American public

這也是越來越多人 選擇買槍的原因

believed -- incorrectly -- that a gun makes your home safer.
