“晚上好，今晚是體育一場頒獎盛會，慶祝我們的一些成就和勝利果實。
But in this moment of celebration, we have to start this show tonight this way.

The four of us are talking to our fellow athletes with the country watching because we cannot ignore the current realities of the state of America.
我們四位不能對當前美國的一些社會現狀熟視無睹。
The events of the past week have put a spotlight on the injustice, distrust, and anger that plague so many of us.
過去幾周之內，我們都對社會上發生的不公平待遇非常關注，人們互相猜忌和相互仇視、讓我們深陷麻煩。
The system is broken, the problems are not new, the violence is not new, and the racial divide definitely is not new.
就好像系統都快崩塌，但是這個問題一點也不新鮮，暴力一直都存在，種族隔閡依舊如鯁在喉。
But the urgency to create change is at an all-time high."

但是，特雷沃恩·馬丁（槍擊受害者）、邁克爾·布朗、泰米爾·賴斯、埃里克·加納、拉胡安·麥克唐納、埃爾頓·斯特林、費蘭多·卡斯提爾，這些也是我們面臨的現實。
Generations ago, legends like Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, John Carlos, and Tommy Smith,
