TED Talk What does it mean to be a citizen of the world? 成为一位世界公民意味着什么？ Speaker: Hugh Evans 第一课
I want to introduce you to an amazing woman. Her name is Davinia. 我想把你介绍给一个了不起的女人。她的名字叫Davinia。
Davinia was born in Jamaica, emigrated to the US atthe age of 18, and now lives just outside of Washington, DC. Davinia出生在牙买加，18岁时移居美国，现在住在华盛顿特区外。
She's not a high-powered political staffer, nor a lobbyist. 她不是一个精力充沛的政治工作人员，也不是一个说客。
She'd probably tell you she's quite unremarkable, but she's having the most remarkable impact. 她可能会告诉你她很不起眼，但她有着最显著的影响。
What's incredible about Davinia is that she's willing to spend time every single week focused on people who are not her: 令人难以置信的是，她愿意花每一个星期的时间来关注那些不是她自己的人：
people not her in her neighborhood, herstate, nor even in her country -- people she'd likely never meet. 在她的邻居，她的州，甚至在她的国家里，她可能永远不会遇到的人。
Davinia's impact started a few years ago when she reached out to all of her friends on Facebook, 达维尼亚的影响始于几年前，当时她向所有在Facebook上的朋友伸出援手，
and asked them todonate their pennies so she could fund girls' education. 并要求他们捐出自己的钱，这样她就可以资助女孩的教育。
She wasn't expecting a huge response, but 700,000 pennies later, she's now sent over 120 girls to school. 她没想到会有一个巨大的反应，但70万便士之后，她现在送了120多个女孩上学。
When we spoke last week, she told me she's become a little infamous at the local bank every time she rocks up with a shopping cart full of pennies. 当我们上个星期说，她告诉我，她在当地银行变得有点声名狼藉，每次她用一个装满硬币的购物车摇晃起来。
Now -- Davinia is not alone. Far from it. She's part of a growing movement. 现在，达文尼并不孤单。离它很远。她是成长运动的一部分。
And there's a name for people like Davinia: global citizens. 她还有一个名字叫全球公民。
A global citizen is someone who self-identifies first and foremost not as a member of a state, a tribe or a nation, 一个全球公民是一个自我认同的人，首先不是作为一个国家、一个部落或一个国家的成员，
but as a member of the human race, and someone who is prepared to act on that belief, to tackleour world's greatest challenges. 而是作为人类的一员，还有一个准备采取行动的人，来应对我们这个世界上最大的挑战。
Our work is focused on finding, supporting andactivating global citizens. 我们的工作重点是寻找、支持和激活全球公民。
They exist in every country and among every demographic. 它们存在于每个国家和每个人口中。
I want to make the case to you today thatthe world's future depends on global citizens. 【跟读】 今天我要向你们说明，世界的未来取决于全球公民。
I'm convinced that if we had more global citizens active in our world, then every single one of the major challenges we face -- from poverty, climate change, gender inequality -- these issues become solvable. 我相信，如果我们有更多的全球公民活跃在我们的世界，那么我们面临的每一个重大挑战——从贫穷、气候变化、性别不平等——这些问题都可以解决。
They are ultimately global issues, and they can ultimately only be solved by global citizens demanding global solutions from their leaders. 它们最终是全球性问题，最终只能由全球公民要求他们的领导人提供全球性解决方案来解决。
