【正文】 ercent of young adults under the age of 30 amp。quot。place a lot of trust in themedia.amp。quot。 Now, this is significant. It means that storytellers are gainingtrust at precisely the same moment that many in the media are losing theconfidence in the public. This is not a good thing, because while stories areimportant and they help us to have insights in many ways, we need the media.
　　我們重視自己的感覺遠勝過我們實際知道的真相。探討美國趨勢的皮尤研究中心 最近有一份報告，顯示在 30 歲以下的年輕人當中，只有 10% 的人 「非常信任傳播媒體」。這是很重要的警訊。這意味著，在講述故事的人贏得信任的同時，傳播媒體正在失去大眾的信心。這不是件好事。因為故事雖然很重要，它能幫助我們在很多方面獲得領(lǐng)悟，但是我們?nèi)匀恍枰獋鞑ッ襟w。
　　From my years as a social justice activist, I know very well that we needcredible facts from media institutions bined with the powerful voices ofstorytellers. Thatamp。39。s what pushes the needle forward in terms of social justice.
　　在我從事社會正義行動的時期，我很清楚的知道，我們需要結(jié)合傳媒機構(gòu)提供的可靠事實，以及講述故事者，強而有力的聲音。這才能推動社會正義的前進。
　　In the final analysis, of course, it isjustice that makes the world a better place, not stories. Right? And so if itis justice that we are after, then I think we mustnamp。39。t focus on the media or onstorytellers. We must focus on audiences, on anyone who has ever turned on aradio or listened to a podcast, and that means all of us.
　　最后的分析，當然，只有正義 才能讓這個世界更美好。而不是故事本身，對吧? 所以說如果我們追求的是正義，我認為我們不應(yīng)該聚焦在媒體或是講故事的人身上。 我們必須關(guān)注聽眾，關(guān)注那些打開收音機或收聽 podcast 的人，這就意味著我們每一個人。
　　So a few concluding thoughts on whataudiences can do to make the world a better place. So firstly, the world wouldbe a better place, I think, if audiences were more curious and more skepticaland asked more questions about the social context that created those storiesthat they love so much. Secondly, the world would be a better place ifaudiences recognized that storytelling is intellectual work.
　　最后我有一些想法， 關(guān)于聽眾能做些什么， 讓這個世界更美好。 首先，我認為這個世界會變得更好， 如果聽眾能夠更加好奇、更加質(zhì)疑，并且對于他們喜愛的故事 背后的社會脈絡(luò)， 提出更多問題。 其次，這個世界會更加美好， 如果大家能意識到 說故事是耗費腦力的工作。
　　And I think itwould be important for audiences to demand more buttons on their favoritewebsites, buttons for example that say, amp。quot。If you liked this story, clickhere to support a cause your storyteller believes in.amp。quot。 Or amp。quot。click hereto contribute to your storytelleramp。39。s next big idea.amp。quot。 Often, we aremitted to the platforms, but not necessarily to the storytellers then lastly, I think that audiences can make the world a better place byswitching off their phones, by stepping away from their screens and steppingout into the real world beyond what feels safe.
　　另外我認為有件事對聽眾來說是非常重要的，就是要求他們喜愛的網(wǎng)站增加更多的按鈕，比如說，像這樣的一個按鈕：「如果你喜歡這個故事，請點擊這里，支持講故事那人所捍衛(wèi)的信念。」 或者是「點擊這里 來捐贈她下一個大理念」。我們一般總是忠于某個網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺，而不是在故事人的本身。最后，我想大家可以讓世界更美好， 我們可以關(guān)掉手機，遠離各種電子屏幕，走進這個真實，但感覺不太安全的世界。
　　Alice Walker has said, amp。quot。Look closelyat the present you are constructing. It should look like the future you aredreaming.amp。quot。 Storytellers can help us to dream, but itamp。39。s up to all of us tohave a plan for justice.
　　，「仔細看著你正在建造的當下，那應(yīng)該是你夢想中的未來?！?講故事的人能幫助我們?nèi)粝耄?但是最終還是要靠我們自己為正義制定計劃，采取行動。
　　Thank you.(Applause)
　　謝謝大家。(掌聲)
