TED中英官方演讲稿-LeslieChang_2012G中国工人的声音.docx

1.Hi. So Id like to talk a little bit about the people who make the things we use every day: our shoes, our handbags, our computers and cell phones. 嗨。今天我想来探讨一下 这些为我们制造日常用品的人们： 例如我们的鞋子，手提包，电脑，还有手机。2.Now, this is a conversation that often calls up a lot of guilt. 这个话题时常让我们觉得很内疚。3.Imagine the teenage farm girl who makes less than a dollar an hour stitching your running shoes, or the young Chinese man who jumps off a rooftop 想象一下，一个年轻的农村女孩给你缝制跑步鞋 可每个小时还赚不到一美金， 又或者是那个加班为你组装iPad的中国小伙子4.after working overtime assembling your iPad. 在加班之后从楼上跳了下来。5.We, the beneficiaries of globalization, seem to exploit these victims with every purchase we make, and the injustice feels embedded in the products themselves. 我们，是全球化的受益者， 可每笔交易却似乎都是在剥削那些受害者， 而这种不公平 似乎也深深烙印在这些产品之中。6.After all, whats wrong with a world in which a worker on an iPhone assembly line cant even afford to buy one? 总而言之，这个世界到底怎么了？ 一个在组装iphone生产线上的员工却买不起一台iphone？7.Its taken for granted that Chinese factories are oppressive, and that its our desire for cheap goods that makes them so. 人们理所当然地认为，中国的工厂就是应该被压榨的， 因为我们渴求便宜的产品 造成了这样的局面。8.So, this simple narrative equating Western demand and Chinese suffering is appealing, especially at a time when many of us already feel guilty 很显然，西方社会的需求 和中国人对他们遭遇的申诉被连接在一起， 尤其是当我们中的很多人已经因为我们对世界影响9.about our impact on the world, but its also inaccurate and disrespectful. 而感到了内疚， 然而，这是不正确的，也是不尊重他人的。10.We must be peculiarly self-obsessed to imagine that we have the power to drive tens of millions of people on the other side of the world to migrate and suffer 我们极其自恋地去想象着 我们有力量去操控地球另一边 千万的人民，让他们以如此可怕的方式11.in such terrible ways. 去遭受痛苦或者迁移。12.In fact, China makes goods for markets all over the world, including its own, thanks to a combination of factors: its low costs, its large and educated workforce, 事实上，中国制造的产品遍布全球， 也包括他们自己的市场，这要归结于许多因素的综合： 低成本，大量受过教育的劳动力，13.and a flexible manufacturing system that responds quickly to market demands. 还有有弹性的工作制度 这些都
