反身代名詞

I found myself hiding in a festival toilet,

我躲在一個節慶現場的廁所中，

and if anyone's been to a music festival,

是的，你就會知道，到了第三天，

I was standing in the toilet because I couldn't even sit down,

我站在廁所裡， 因為我甚至無法坐下，

"What am I doing? I don't even need the toilet."

「我在幹嘛？ 我根本不想上廁所。」

was because I was volunteering for a large charity on climate justice,

是因為我自願參與一個 關於氣候公義的大型慈善活動，

when lots of people didn't believe in climate change,

was to get people to sign petitions on climate justice

and educate them a bit more about the issue.

是要讓大家簽氣候公義的請願書，

And I cared deeply about climate change and lots of inequality,

並教育他們，讓他們了解這個議題。

so I'd go and I'd talk to lots of people,

我非常在乎氣候變遷 以及許多不平等之事，

which made me nervous and drained me of energy,

那讓我很緊張，耗盡我的精力，

but I would hide in the toilets, because I'd be exhausted,

and I didn't want my teammates doubting my commitment to the cause,

但我會躲在廁所裡， 是因為我累壞了，

我不希望我的隊友 懷疑我對理想的承諾，

And we'd go and meet at the end of our shift,

and we'd count how many petitions had been signed,

我們會在輪班時段結束時碰面，

and often I'd win the amount of petitions signed

even though I had my little breaks in the toilet.

通常我取得的簽名請願書都最多，

But I was always very jealous of the other activists,

because either they had the same amount of energy

但我總是非常嫉妒其他行動主義者，

as they had when they began the shift of getting people to sign petitions,

因為從輪班時段開始， 請大家簽請願書，

一直到輪班時段結束， 他們的精力都不變。

and they'd be really excited about going to watch the bands in the evening

他們會很興奮地去看晚上的樂團演出

all I wanted to do was to go back to my tent and have a sleep,

because I'd just feel completely wiped out,

我想做的也只有回到帳篷倒頭大睡，

and I was really jealous of people that had the energy

But it also made me really angry, as well, inside.

I thought, "This isn't fair, I'm an introvert,

and all of the offline campaigning seems to be favoring extroverts."

我心想：「這不公平， 我是內向的人，

所有的非線上活動 似乎都偏袒外向的人。」

Or I'd go and join campaigns outside embassies or shops.

The only thing that was on offer was around lots of people,

或是我會去參與 大使館外或商店外的活動。

it always involved lots of people, it was performing.

那是很大聲且招搖的行動主義，

總是會涉及很多人，這也是種表演。

and I not only thought that that wasn't fair,

because a third to a half of the world's population are introverts,

which isn't fair on them, because we burn out,

因為世界上有三分之一 到二分之一的人是內向的人，

or we'd be put off by activism and not do it,

對他們不公平， 因為我們若不是筋疲力竭，

and everyone needs to be an activist in this world.

不然就是對行動主義冷感 而不想去做，

And also, I didn't think it was particularly clever,

而在這個世界上每個人 都需要成為行動主義者。

but I could see that a lot of the activism that worked

此外，雖然我不覺得這點特別聰明，

但我可以看到，許多成功的行動主義

It wasn't about people performing all the time.

A lot of the work that was needed was in the background,

重點並不是要人們總是在表演。

And when I ended up just being a campaigner,

because it's the only job I can do, really --

當我最後成為一個從事社會運動者，

因為其實那是我唯一能做的工作──

and for the last 10 years, I've been a professional campaigner

過去十年來，我的職業一直是在做

and now I'm a creative campaigner consultant for different charities

現在我在不同慈善團體 以及我其他工作中擔任

but I knew that there were other forms of activism that were needed.

I started tinkering about seven years ago

但我知道還需要有 其他形式的行動主義。

to see what quieter forms of activism I could engage with

想了解我能參與哪些 比較安靜式的行動主義，

but also to look at some of the issues I was concerned about in campaigning.

才不會覺得當行動主義者很累人，

I was very lucky that, when I worked for Oxfam and other big charities,

且能去探究在做社會運動時 我會在乎的那些議題。

我非常幸運，當我為樂施會 及其他大型慈善團體工作時，

on what influenced politicians and businesses

內容是關於什麼會影響政客、企業、

what campaigns worked really well, which ones didn't.

And I'm a bit of a geek, so I look at all of that stuff,

什麼運動非常成功、 什麼沒有用等等。

我算是個怪胎， 所以我會看所有這些東西，

to see how I could engage people in social change in a different way,

because I think if we want the world to be more beautiful, kind and just,

看我能如何用不同的方式 讓人們去參與社會變遷，

then our activism should be beautiful, kind and just,

因為我認為如果我想要 讓世界更美麗、仁慈、公正，

那麼我們的行動主義就應該 是美麗、仁慈、公正的，

And today, I just want to talk about three ways

今天，我只想要談我認為行動主義

I think there's lot of other ways, but I'm just going to talk about three.

And the first one is: activism is often very quick,

我認為有許多原因， 但我只想談其中三個。

so extroverts, often their immediate response to injustice is,

通常外向者對於 不公平的立即反應就是，

but we need to be strategic in our campaigning,

但我們在從事社會運動時 得要有策略，
