Your excellencies, UN Secretary-General, President of the General Assembly, executive director of UN Women, and distinguished guests.
尊敬的各位閣下,聯(lián)合國秘書長,聯(lián)合國大會(huì)主席,聯(lián)合國婦女權(quán)能署執(zhí)行董事以及各位貴賓們。
Today we are launching a campaign called “HeForShe.”
今天,我們發(fā)起一項(xiàng)名為“他為她”(HeForShe)的運(yùn)動(dòng)。
I am reaching out to you because we need your help.

We want to end gender inequality – and to do this we need everyone involved.
我們要終止兩性不平等。為此,我們需要所有的人都參與其中。
This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN: we want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.
聯(lián)合國首次發(fā)起這樣的活動(dòng):試圖激勵(lì)起所有的男性同胞,不論大人還是小孩,都一起來倡導(dǎo)性別平等。
And we don't just want to talk about it, we want to try and make sure that it's tangible.
而且,我們希望這不只是紙上談兵,我們要確保它是看得見摸得著的。
I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women 6 months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.
六個(gè)月前,我被任命為聯(lián)合國婦女親善大使。我發(fā)現(xiàn),越多地提及“女權(quán)主義”,為女性爭取權(quán)利就越容易被人們等同于對(duì)男性的厭惡。
If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.
但有一件事我非常確信。那就是:這種誤解必須馬上終止。
For the record, feminism by definition is: “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.
在此,我鄭重聲明,依據(jù)定義,女權(quán)主義指的是女性應(yīng)該擁有和男性同等的權(quán)力和機(jī)會(huì)。
It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.”
該理論是指在政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)以及社會(huì)上的兩性平等。
I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago, when I was eight, I was confused at being called “bossy,” because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not.
很小的時(shí)候,我就質(zhì)疑這種基于性別不同的主觀臆斷。八歲時(shí),我搞不懂,就因我想在給家長表演的舞臺(tái)劇中當(dāng)導(dǎo)演,就會(huì)被稱之為“霸道”,而男孩子們則不會(huì)。
When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the media.
十四歲時(shí),媒體的某些元素就將我性別化。
When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams because they didn't want to appear “muscly” .
十五歲時(shí),我的女性伙伴開始退出她們所熱愛的運(yùn)動(dòng)小組。因?yàn)樗齻儾幌M约鹤兊锰^陽剛。
