So later, I was left pondering this fury, and looking for an explanation as to why, even in her telling of it,
和朋友分開后，我一直在思索這種怒火，想弄明白為什么在她講述的過程中，
I felt fury, too, and why this was a word and a feeling that I was hearing a lot about lately.
我也感到惱怒，為什么最近總是聽說這個詞和這種感受。
I feel like this is the point in the room where all the men are getting a little bit uncomfortable.
我覺得現在這個會場里，男性們開始變得有點不安了。
It's OK. Stay with me. This fury is something that I have been chomping on since the last US presidential election.
沒事的。聽我說。上一屆美國總統大選以來，我一直思來想去的就是這種怒火。
And it seems that many women have. This fury was not my friend's alone.
好像很多女性都有這種感覺。惱怒的不只是我朋友一個。
Her fury was ignited by lifetimes of men helping themselves to women's bodies without consent.
點燃她怒火的，是長久以來男性總是未經允許就對女性的身體動手動腳。
There's a culture of men helping themselves to women, and in this case, in a seemingly innocuous way,
這種侵犯成了一種文化，而在這個例子中，從以一種看似無害的方式，
where a woman's body is like a saltshaker: "Get out of the way so I can get to the fries"
好像女性的身體就像鹽瓶一樣，“讓一讓，我要拿那盤薯條”
to the most egregious, violent and horrific situations.
走向極其過分的、暴力的甚至毛骨悚然的境地。
I imagine that some of you are wondering what the connection is between the innocuous and the horrific,
我想你們中的一些人可能在想，無害和毛骨悚然之間有什么聯系，
two things that seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.
這二者看似分居情感空間的兩端。
Well, the common thread is the spectrum. The innocuous makes space for the horrific.
而二者之間的線索正是情感空間。無害為毛骨悚然騰出了空間。
And women have to live with the effects of both and everything in between.
女性不得不受二者影響，在二者之間生存。
