萊溫斯基ted演講稿
You’re looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decade.Obviously, that’s changed, but only recently.It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit:1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30.That meant
that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and the youngest, just four.I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs.Yes, I’m in rap songs.Almost 40 rap songs.But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened.At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy.I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined.You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again.I realized later that night, I’m probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again.At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences.Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn’t make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep.That’s what I thought.So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong
turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss.Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn’t the president of the United States of America.Of course, life is full of surprises.Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply.In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before.Remember, just a few years earlier,news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television.That was it.But that wasn’t my fate.Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution.That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in
January 1998, it broke online.It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.What that meant for me personally was that overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide.I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.This rush to judgment, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers.Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and, of course, email cruel jokes.News sources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV.Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret?
Now, I admit I made mistakes，especially wearing that beret.But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented.I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman.I was seen by many but actually known by few.And I get it: it was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken.(我承認(rèn)我當(dāng)時(shí)犯了錯(cuò)——特別是不該戴那頂貝雷帽——但那個(gè)新聞事件之外，我個(gè)人得到的關(guān)注和道德審判是前所未有的。一夜之間，我從一介無(wú)名之輩成為了全世界公開(kāi)羞辱的對(duì)象。在虛擬的網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界里，有無(wú)數(shù)向我投擲石塊的暴徒。我被打上娼婦、蕩婦、婊子、蠢貨的烙印，成為人們口中的‘那個(gè)女人’。許多人都認(rèn)得我，但很少人真正了解我。我能理解，因?yàn)槿藗兒苋菀淄洝莻€(gè)女人’也是實(shí)實(shí)在在的生命，也有自己的靈魂。)

主題：羞辱的代價(jià)（The price of shame）
萊溫斯基TED演講稿陳述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)語(yǔ)言欺凌受害者的苦楚，這里從萊溫斯基22歲的時(shí)候擔(dān)任白宮實(shí)習(xí)生開(kāi)始，因?yàn)樗龕?ài)上了她的老板，也就是克林頓總統(tǒng)，然之萊溫斯基被貼上了丑惡的標(biāo)簽，這次站在TED演講上表達(dá)了她的想法，以下是中英文兩種版本。
萊溫斯基TED演講稿
站在你們面前的這個(gè)女性曾在公眾面前沉默了十年。顯然，現(xiàn)在不一樣了，不過(guò)這只是最近的事。幾個(gè)月前在福布斯“30位30歲以下創(chuàng)業(yè)者”峰會(huì)上,我首次公開(kāi)發(fā)表演講，峰會(huì)上有1500位杰出人士，全部不到30歲。這就意味著在1998年，其中最年長(zhǎng)的人也只有14歲，最年輕的則只有4歲。我同他們開(kāi)玩笑，有些人似乎只是從說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)中聽(tīng)過(guò)我的名字。沒(méi)錯(cuò)，說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)唱過(guò)我，幾乎有40首這樣的說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)。
在我演講當(dāng)晚 意外的事情發(fā)生了，作為一個(gè)41歲的女性，竟然有一個(gè)27歲的小伙子勾搭我。我知道，難以相信吧?他很有魅力，說(shuō)了不少奉承的話(huà)，結(jié)果我拒絕了。知道他的搭訕不成功在哪嗎?他說(shuō)他能讓我感到又回到了22歲??那天晚上我意識(shí)到，40歲時(shí)不想回到22歲的人或許就只有我了。22歲時(shí)，我愛(ài)上了我的老板，在24歲那年，我明白了其毀滅性的后果。
能否請(qǐng)大家舉手告訴我，如果你覺(jué)得自己22歲時(shí)沒(méi)有犯過(guò)錯(cuò)，沒(méi)有做過(guò)讓自己后悔的事，請(qǐng)舉手?同我想的一樣，和我一樣，22歲那年，你們中的一些人大概也犯過(guò)錯(cuò)，愛(ài)上過(guò)錯(cuò)誤的人，或許也正是你的老板。不過(guò)和我不同，你的老板八成不是美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。當(dāng)然，生活充滿(mǎn)了意外。每一天我都被提醒這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，我每天都在深深后悔。
1998年 在卷入一段不可能的愛(ài)情之后，我被卷入政治、法律和媒體的漩渦中心，一場(chǎng)前所未見(jiàn)的漩渦。記得吧，就在幾年前，新聞只有三個(gè)來(lái)源：讀報(bào)刊雜志、聽(tīng)收音機(jī)和看電視，就這些了。但我的命并沒(méi)這么好，這起丑聞通過(guò)數(shù)字革命被公之于眾。數(shù)字革命意味著我們能獲取所有想要的信息，不管何時(shí)何地。丑聞在1998年1月被首次揭露就是通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。這是傳統(tǒng)媒體第一次在重大事件報(bào)道上被因特網(wǎng)搶先，一個(gè)點(diǎn)擊的聲音響徹了全世界。
對(duì)我個(gè)人而言，它讓我一夜間從一個(gè)完完全全的無(wú)名人士變成一個(gè)被全世界公開(kāi)羞辱的對(duì)象。我成了零號(hào)病人，第一個(gè)經(jīng)歷如何在全球范圍內(nèi)瞬間失去個(gè)人聲譽(yù)。
這種由科技促進(jìn)的草率道德審判導(dǎo)致我在網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界里被投石暴民圍攻。誠(chéng)然，這是在社交媒體出現(xiàn)之前，不過(guò)人們還是可以在線(xiàn)評(píng)論，郵件轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)故事，當(dāng)然，也能轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)殘忍的笑話(huà)。新聞媒體將我的照片貼得到處都是，借此銷(xiāo)售報(bào)紙，為網(wǎng)站吸引廣告商，為電視吸引眼球。
記得我那張照片嗎?戴著貝雷帽的那張?我承認(rèn)，我犯了錯(cuò)誤，特別是不該戴那頂貝雷帽。在關(guān)注故事之外，人們對(duì)我個(gè)人的關(guān)注和道德審判也是前所未有的，我被打上各種標(biāo)簽 蕩婦、妓女、母狗、婊子、賤人，當(dāng)然還有 “那個(gè)女人”。很多人都看到了我，但很少有人了解我。我明白，人們很容易忘記一個(gè)女人是多維度的，其實(shí)她也有靈魂，也曾是完好無(wú)缺的。17年前，這些發(fā)生在我身上的事還沒(méi)有專(zhuān)門(mén)的名詞來(lái)稱(chēng)呼?，F(xiàn)在，我們稱(chēng)之為網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌和線(xiàn)上騷擾。
今天，我想和大家分享一些個(gè)人經(jīng)歷，我要講講這些經(jīng)歷如何塑造了我的文化觀(guān)察。我希望我過(guò)去的經(jīng)歷，能夠引起變革，讓其他人少遭遇欺凌。1998年 我失去了聲譽(yù)和尊嚴(yán)，我?guī)缀跏チ艘磺校ㄉ?。讓我給大家描繪一下，這是1998年9月，我坐在一間沒(méi)有窗戶(hù)的辦公室，在獨(dú)立檢察官辦公室，嗡嗡作響的熒光燈下，我聽(tīng)著自己的聲音，這是一年前電話(huà)竊聽(tīng)錄取的聲音，這位錄音者，我原來(lái)還當(dāng)作朋友。我坐在那里是因?yàn)榉梢?，我要親自鑒定全部二十小時(shí)的對(duì)話(huà)錄音。過(guò)去的八個(gè)月，這些錄音帶中的神秘內(nèi)容，就像達(dá)摩克利斯之劍一樣懸在我的頭頂。想想，誰(shuí)能記得自己一年前說(shuō)了什么。我很害怕，很屈辱地聽(tīng)著，聽(tīng)我自己平日閑暇時(shí)的扯東拉西，聽(tīng)我自己坦白對(duì)總統(tǒng)的愛(ài)意。當(dāng)然，還有我的心碎。聽(tīng)到那個(gè)有時(shí)狡猾、有時(shí)暴躁、有時(shí)愚蠢的我——無(wú)情、記仇、粗魯。我聽(tīng)著，深深地感到羞愧，這是最糟糕的我，糟糕到我自己都不認(rèn)識(shí)。
幾天后 斯塔爾報(bào)告被提交給國(guó)會(huì)，所有錄音和原文稿，所有被竊取的言語(yǔ)，都成了其中一部分。人們能夠讀到原文稿就已經(jīng)很讓人害怕了，但這還沒(méi)完，數(shù)周后，錄音帶又被公開(kāi)到電視上，還有很大一部分散播到了網(wǎng)上。這種公開(kāi)羞辱很折磨人，生命幾乎變得不可承受。這種情況在1998年的時(shí)候發(fā)生得并不常見(jiàn)，“這種情況”指的是竊取人們的私下言語(yǔ)、行為、對(duì)話(huà)或照片將之公開(kāi)于眾--沒(méi)有征得同意的公開(kāi)、沒(méi)有來(lái)龍去脈的公開(kāi)、沒(méi)有絲毫同情的公開(kāi)。
快進(jìn)12年到2010年，社交媒體出現(xiàn)了，像我這樣的例子開(kāi)始越來(lái)越多，甚至無(wú)論當(dāng)事人有沒(méi)有犯錯(cuò)。而且公眾人物和普通人都深受其害，有些事件的結(jié)果非常悲慘。
2010年9月 我和我媽打了一通電話(huà)，我們談到了一則新聞，關(guān)于羅格斯大學(xué)的一個(gè)大學(xué)新生。他叫泰勒·克萊門(mén)蒂——親切、靈敏、富有創(chuàng)造性的泰勒被室友偷拍到和另一個(gè)男的有親密行為，視頻被傳播到網(wǎng)上，嘲笑和網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌之火被點(diǎn)燃。幾天后，泰勒從喬治·華盛頓大橋縱身躍下??生命就這樣逝去??他只有18歲。
我媽講到泰勒和他家人時(shí)非常激動(dòng)，她發(fā)自?xún)?nèi)心的痛苦。我在當(dāng)時(shí)還有點(diǎn)無(wú)法理解，不過(guò)我逐漸意識(shí)到，她在重新經(jīng)歷1998年，重新經(jīng)歷她每晚都坐在我的床頭的時(shí)候，重新經(jīng)歷她讓我洗澡時(shí)不要關(guān)門(mén)的時(shí)候，重新經(jīng)歷她和爸爸擔(dān)心我會(huì)因?yàn)樾呷瓒廊サ臅r(shí)候。一點(diǎn)也不夸張。
現(xiàn)如今，很多父母都沒(méi)來(lái)得及介入挽救自己至愛(ài)的子女，很多父母在知道子女的痛苦和羞辱時(shí)都為時(shí)已晚。泰勒悲劇而無(wú)謂的死亡，對(duì)我而言是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。它讓我重新審視了我的親身經(jīng)歷，讓我開(kāi)始思考周遭充滿(mǎn)羞辱和欺凌的世界，讓我看到了不同的東西。
在1998年 沒(méi)人知道因特網(wǎng)這種新生技術(shù)會(huì)將人類(lèi)引往何方。自誕生以來(lái)，因特網(wǎng)讓人類(lèi)以難以設(shè)想的方式聯(lián)系了起來(lái)，讓人們找到失散的兄弟姐妹、挽救生命，發(fā)起革命。不過(guò)同時(shí)，我所經(jīng)歷的陰暗面、網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌和肆意辱罵也如雨后春筍增生。每天在網(wǎng)上，總有人，特別是依然稚嫩不知如何處理這些的年輕人總會(huì)被如此欺凌和羞辱，以至于感覺(jué)無(wú)法活到第二天，有些人也確實(shí)悲劇地因此而死。這一點(diǎn)也不虛擬。
ChildLine是致力于幫助年輕人處理各種問(wèn)題的英國(guó)公益組織。去年，該組織發(fā)布了一則驚人的統(tǒng)計(jì)結(jié)果，2012到2013年，與網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌相關(guān)的電話(huà)和電子郵件增加了87%。一篇來(lái)自荷蘭的綜合分析首次顯示出，網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌比網(wǎng)下欺凌更容易導(dǎo)致自殺意念。去年還有一項(xiàng)研究讓我很震驚，或許我本不該驚訝，該研究顯示羞辱是比高興、甚至憤怒都更為強(qiáng)烈的情感。對(duì)他人殘忍已經(jīng)不是新鮮事了，但網(wǎng)上，由技術(shù)促進(jìn)的羞辱卻會(huì)被放大，不受遏制而且永遠(yuǎn)可以被看到。傳統(tǒng)的羞辱只會(huì)局限于家庭、村莊、學(xué)?；蚴巧鐓^(qū)，而現(xiàn)在則會(huì)擴(kuò)展到網(wǎng)絡(luò)社區(qū)。成百萬(wàn)上千萬(wàn)的人能匿名地用言語(yǔ)攻擊你，這會(huì)讓人非常痛苦，而且能夠公開(kāi)看到這些攻擊的人是沒(méi)有限定范圍的。被公開(kāi)羞辱對(duì)個(gè)人損害很大，因特網(wǎng)的傳播大幅提升了這個(gè)損害。
近二十年來(lái)，我們逐漸在文化的土壤中，播下了羞辱和公開(kāi)侮辱的種子。無(wú)論是網(wǎng)上還是網(wǎng)下，八卦網(wǎng)站、狗仔隊(duì)、真人節(jié)目、政治、新聞報(bào)道甚至黑客，這些都是羞辱的渠道。麻木不仁、無(wú)孔不入的網(wǎng)絡(luò)環(huán)境讓網(wǎng)絡(luò)煽動(dòng)、隱私侵犯、網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌越來(lái)越猖獗。這種轉(zhuǎn)變創(chuàng)造出了尼古拉斯·米爾斯教授所說(shuō)的“羞辱文化”。
來(lái)看一些顯著例子 這些還只是最近六個(gè)月發(fā)生的。“Snapchat”該服務(wù)主要是年輕人在用，宣稱(chēng)其內(nèi)容閱后即焚，信息只會(huì)存在幾秒，可以想象這會(huì)涉及到哪類(lèi)內(nèi)容。Snapchat用戶(hù)所使用的一種長(zhǎng)久保留信息的第三方應(yīng)用程序被入侵了，十萬(wàn)人的個(gè)人對(duì)話(huà)、照片、視頻被泄露到網(wǎng)上，這些內(nèi)容的壽命就這樣變成了永遠(yuǎn)。詹妮弗·勞倫斯和其他幾位演員的iCloud帳戶(hù)被入侵，私人私密裸照被傳播到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上，未經(jīng)任何允許。一個(gè)八卦網(wǎng)站僅僅因?yàn)檫@一個(gè)內(nèi)容，就獲得了五百萬(wàn)以上的點(diǎn)擊量。再想想索尼影業(yè)黑客襲擊，最受關(guān)注的文檔，竟然是公開(kāi)羞辱價(jià)值最大的一些私人郵件。在這種羞辱文化中，公開(kāi)羞辱還被貼上了另一種價(jià)格標(biāo)簽，這里衡量的并不是受害者遭受了多少損失，諸如泰勒，還有很多人的遭遇，尤其是女性、少數(shù)群體以及多元性別群體中的成員。這里的價(jià)格標(biāo)簽衡量的是借此牟利者的利潤(rùn)，侵入他人私人領(lǐng)域成了一種原料受到這些人的無(wú)情挖掘、包裝和銷(xiāo)售。一個(gè)市場(chǎng)在誕生，公開(kāi)羞辱變成了其中的商品。
恥辱則變成了一種產(chǎn)業(yè)。如何賺錢(qián)呢?點(diǎn)擊。羞辱越多，點(diǎn)擊也就越多，點(diǎn)擊越多，廣告費(fèi)也越多。這是一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的循環(huán)。我們對(duì)這些八卦點(diǎn)擊得越多，我們就會(huì)對(duì)故事背后的人越麻木，我們?cè)绞锹槟?，就越?huì)去點(diǎn)擊。自始至終，都是有些人在利用他人的痛苦在牟利，每一次點(diǎn)擊，我們都是在作出選擇。文化中充斥的公開(kāi)羞辱越多，越被接受，我們就會(huì)越多地看到網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌、網(wǎng)絡(luò)煽動(dòng)、黑客入侵，還有線(xiàn)上騷擾。為什么?因?yàn)樗鼈兊暮诵亩际切呷?，這種行為成為了我們所創(chuàng)造的一種文化癥狀。
改變行為從改變信念開(kāi)始，無(wú)論是種族歧視還是同性戀歧視，現(xiàn)在和過(guò)去的很多歧視都是這樣來(lái)消除。隨著對(duì)同性婚姻觀(guān)念的改變，更多人被賦予了平等的自由。隨著對(duì)可持續(xù)性的倡導(dǎo)，越來(lái)越多的人開(kāi)始回收利用。對(duì)于羞辱的文化也應(yīng)如此，我們需要文化革命，公開(kāi)羞辱這種流血的娛樂(lè)應(yīng)當(dāng)終止。無(wú)論是因特網(wǎng)上、還是文化中，現(xiàn)在都該干預(yù)了。
轉(zhuǎn)變可以從簡(jiǎn)單的事開(kāi)始，不過(guò)它本身并不簡(jiǎn)單。我們需要回歸人類(lèi)固有的一種價(jià)值，也就是同情心和同理心。網(wǎng)上正在經(jīng)歷同情心缺乏和同理心危機(jī)。引用研究者布琳·布朗的話(huà)，”羞辱在同理心下無(wú)法存活”。
我生命中經(jīng)歷了一些異常黑暗的日子，是來(lái)自家人、朋友、專(zhuān)業(yè)人士甚至一些陌生人的同情心和同理心拯救了我，哪怕只有一個(gè)人的理解也會(huì)很有用。社會(huì)心理學(xué)家謝爾蓋·莫斯科維奇所提出的小眾影響理論認(rèn)為哪怕是小眾人群，只要能堅(jiān)持下去，變化也能發(fā)生。在網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界中，我們可以通過(guò)站起來(lái)來(lái)培育小眾影響力，站起來(lái)是說(shuō)不再冷漠旁觀(guān)而是發(fā)表積極評(píng)論支持受害者或是舉報(bào)欺凌現(xiàn)象。相信我，富有同情心的評(píng)論能夠減少消極效果，我們還可以通過(guò)支持處理這類(lèi)問(wèn)題的組織機(jī)構(gòu)來(lái)對(duì)抗這種羞辱文化。例如：美國(guó)有泰勒·克萊門(mén)蒂基金會(huì)，英國(guó)有反欺凌項(xiàng)目，澳大利亞有Rockit項(xiàng)目。
我們經(jīng)常提到表達(dá)自由的權(quán)利，此外我們還應(yīng)該更多地談到我們?cè)诒磉_(dá)自由上的責(zé)任。我們都希望自己的聲音被聽(tīng)到，不過(guò)我們需要區(qū)分懷有意圖的發(fā)聲和請(qǐng)求關(guān)注的發(fā)聲，因特網(wǎng)是表達(dá)自我的超級(jí)高速公路。不過(guò)在網(wǎng)上換位思考他人處境對(duì)所有人都是有利的，而且能夠幫助創(chuàng)建更安全更美好的世界。我們需要懷著同情心在網(wǎng)上交流，懷著同情心閱讀新聞，懷著同情心點(diǎn)擊網(wǎng)站。
試想下自己活在別人的新聞?lì)^條里。
最后，我想以個(gè)人說(shuō)明作結(jié)，過(guò)去九個(gè)月里我被問(wèn)得最多的問(wèn)題是為什么，為什么現(xiàn)在，為什么我要出這個(gè)頭。你們應(yīng)該可以聽(tīng)出這些問(wèn)題的言外之意。答案同政治無(wú)關(guān)。
我的回答是：因?yàn)槭菚r(shí)候了，是時(shí)候不再為過(guò)去而小心翼翼，是時(shí)候不再背負(fù)恥辱地活著，是時(shí)候講述自己的經(jīng)歷。這不僅僅是為了拯救我自己，任何遭受恥辱和公開(kāi)羞辱的人都需要知道一點(diǎn)——你能撐過(guò)來(lái)，我知道這很難，肯定會(huì)有痛苦，肯定不會(huì)來(lái)得輕松容易。不過(guò)你能堅(jiān)持下去 并書(shū)寫(xiě)出不同的故事結(jié)局。同情自己，我們都值得同情，無(wú)論線(xiàn)上還是線(xiàn)下，我們都需要生活在一個(gè)更富有同情心的世界。
謝謝聆聽(tīng)!
萊溫斯基TED演講稿（英文版）
You're looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decade.Obviously, that's changed, but only recently.It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit:1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30.That meant that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and the youngest, just four.I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs.Yes, I'm in rap songs.Almost 40 rap songs.But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened.At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy.I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined.You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again.I realized later that night, I'm probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again.At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences.Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn't make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep.That's what I thought.So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss.Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn't the president of the United States of America.Of course, life is full of surprises.Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply.In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before.Remember, just a few years earlier,news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television.That was it.But that wasn't my fate.Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution.That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online.It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.What that meant for me personally was that overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide.I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.This rush to judgment, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers.Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and, of course, email cruel jokes.News sources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV.Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret?
Now, I admit I made mistakes, especially wearing that beret.But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented.I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman.I was seen by many but actually known by few.And I get it: it was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken.When this happened to me 17 years ago, there was no name for it.Now we call it cyberbullying(網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌)andonline harassment(網(wǎng)絡(luò)騷擾).Today, I want to share some of my experience with you, talk about how that experience has helped shape my cultural observations, and how I hope my past experience can lead to a change that results in less suffering for others.In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity.I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life.Let me paint a picture for you.It is September of 1998.I'm sitting in a windowless office room inside the Office of the Independent Counsel underneath humming fluorescent lights.I'm listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before.I'm here because I've been legally required to personally authenticate all 20 hours of taped conversation.For the past eight months, the mysterious content of these tapes has hung like the Sword of Damocles over my head.I mean, who can remember what they said a year ago? Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day;listen as I confess my love for the president, and, of course, my heartbreak;listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth;listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worst version of myself,a self I don't even recognize.A few days later, the Starr Report is released to Congress, and all of those tapes and trans, those stolen words, form a part of it.That people can read the trans is horrific enough, but a few weeks later, the audio tapes are aired on TV, and significant portions made available online.The public humiliation was excruciating.Life was almost unbearable.This was not something that happened with regularity back then in 1998, and by this, I mean the stealing of people's private words, actions, conversations or photos, and then making them public--public without consent, public without context, and public without compassion.Fast forward 12 years to 2010, and now social media has been born.The landscape has sadly become much more populated with instances like mine, whether or not someone actually make a mistake, and now it's for both public and private people.The consequences for some have become dire, very dire.I was on the phone with my mom in September of 2010, and we were talking about the news of a young college freshman from Rutgers University named Tyler Clementi.Sweet, sensitive, creative Tyler was secretly webcammed by his roommate while being intimate with another man.When the online world learned of this incident, the ridicule and cyberbullying ignited.A few days later, Tyler jumped from the George Washington Bridge to his death.He was 18.My mom was beside herself about what happened to Tyler and his family, and she was gutted with painin a way that I just couldn't quite understand, and then eventually I realized she was reliving 1998, reliving a time when she sat by my bed every night, reliving a time when she made me shower with the bathroom door open, and reliving a time when both of my parents feared that I would be humiliated to death,literally.Today, too many parents haven't had the chance to step in and rescue their loved ones.Too many have learned of their child's suffering and humiliation after it was too late.Tyler's tragic, senseless death was a turning point for me.It served to recontextualize my experiences, and I then began to look at the world of humiliation and bullying around me and see something different.In 1998, we had no way of knowing where this brave new technology called the Internet would take us.Since then, it has connected people in unimaginable ways, joining lost siblings, saving lives, launching revolutions, but the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had mushroomed.Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can't imagine living to the next day, and some, tragically, don't, and there's nothing virtual about that.ChildLine, a U.K.nonprofit that's focused on helping young people on various issues,released a staggering statistic late last year: From 2012 to 2013, there was an 87 percent increase in calls and emails related to cyberbullying.A meta-analysis done out of the Netherlands showed that for the first time, cyberbullying was leading to suicidal ideations more significantly than offline bullying.And you know what shocked me, although it shouldn't have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was a more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger.Cruelty to others is nothing new, but online, technologically enhanced shaming is amplified, uncontained, and permanently accessible.The echo of embarrassment used to extend only as far as your family, village, school or community, but now it's the online community too.Millions of people, often anonymously, can stab you with their words, and that's a lot of pain, and there are no perimeters around how many people can publicly observe you and put you in a public stockade.There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price.For nearly two decades now, we have slowly been sowing the seeds of shame and public humiliation in our cultural soil, both on-and offline.Gossip websites, paparazzi, reality programming, politics, news outlets and sometimes hackers all traffic in shame.It's led to desensitization and a permissive environment online which lends itself to trolling, invasion of privacy, and cyberbullying.This shift has created what Professor Nicolaus Mills calls a culture of humiliation.Consider a few prominent examples just from the past six months alone.Snapchat, the service which is used mainly by younger generationsand claims that its messages only have the lifespan of a few seconds.You can imagine the range of content that that gets.A third-party app which Snapchatters use to preserve the lifespan of the messages was hacked, and 100,000 personal conversations, photos, and videos were leaked online to now have a lifespan of forever.Jennifer Lawrence and several other actors had their iCloud accounts hacked, and private, intimate, nude photos were plastered across the Internet without their permission.One gossip website had over five million hits for this one story.And what about the Sony Pictures cyberhacking? The documents which received the most attention were private emails that had maximum public embarrassment value.But in this culture of humiliation, there is another kind of price tag attached to public shaming.The price does not measure the cost to the victim, which Tyler and too many others, notably women, minorities,and members of the LGBTQ community have paid, but the price measures the profit of those who prey on them.This invasion of others is a raw material, efficiently and ruthlessly mined, packaged and sold at a profit.A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry.How is the money made? Clicks.The more shame, the more clicks.The more clicks, the more advertising dollars.We're in a dangerous cycle.The more we click on this kind of gossip, the more numb we get to the human lives behind it, and the more numb we get, the more we click.All the while, someone is making money off of the back of someone else's suffering.With every click, we make a choice.The more we saturate our culture with public shaming, the more accepted it is, the more we will see behavior like cyberbullying, trolling, some forms of hacking, and online harassment.Why? Because they all have humiliation at their cores.This behavior is a symptom of the culture we've created.Just think about it.Changing behavior begins with evolving beliefs.We've seen that to be true with racism, homophobia, and plenty of other biases, today and in the past.As we've changed beliefs about same-sex marriage, more people have been offered equal freedoms.When we began valuing sustainability, more people began to recycle.So as far as our culture of humiliation goes, what we need is a cultural revolution.Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop, and it's time for an intervention on the Internet and in our culture.The shift begins with something simple, but it's not easy.We need to return to a long-held value of compassion--compassion and empathy.Online, we've got a compassion deficit, an empathy crisis.Researcher Brené Brown said, and I quote, “Shame can't survive empathy.” Shame cannot survive empathy.I've seen some very dark days in my life, and it was the compassion and empathy from my family, friends, professionals, and sometimes even strangers that saved me.Even empathy from one person can make a difference.The theory of minority influence, proposed by social psychologist Serge Moscovici, says that even in small numbers, when there's consistency over time, change can happen.In the online world, we can foster minority influence by becoming upstanders.To become an upstander means instead of bystander apathy, we can post a positive comment for someone or report a bullying situation.Trust me, compassionate comments help abate the negativity.We can also counteract the culture by supporting organizations that deal with these kinds of issues, like the Tyler Clementi Foundation in the U.S., In the U.K., there's Anti-Bullying Pro, and in Australia, there's Project Rockit.We talk a lot about our right to freedom of expression, but we need to talk more about our responsibility to freedom of expression.We all want to be heard, but let's acknowledge the difference between speaking up with intention and speaking up for attention.The Internet is the superhighway for the id, but online, showing empathy to others benefits us all and helps create a safer and better world.We need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion.Just imagine walking a mile in someone else's headline.I'd like to end on a personal note.In the past nine months, the question I've been asked the most is why.Why now? Why was I sticking my head above the parapet? You can read between the lines in those questions, and the answer has nothing to do with politics.The top note answer was and is because it's time: time to stop tip-toeing around my past;time to stop living a life of opprobrium;and time to take back my narrative.It's also not just about saving myself.Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing: You can survive it.I know it's hard.It may not be painless, quick or easy, but you can insist on a different ending to your story.Have compassion for yourself.We all deserve compassion, and to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.Thank you for listening.
第三篇：萊溫斯基TED演講 中英對(duì)照
The price of shame
主講人：莫妮卡 萊溫斯基
主題：恥辱的代價(jià)
You're looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decade.Obviously, that's changed, but only recently.站在你們面前的是一個(gè)在大眾面前沉默了十年之久的女人。當(dāng)然，現(xiàn)在情況不一樣了，不過(guò)這只是最近發(fā)生的事。
It was several months ago that I gave my very first major public talk at the Forbes 30 Under 30 summit:1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30.That meant that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and the youngest, just four.I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs.Yes, I'm in rap songs.Almost 40 rap songs.幾個(gè)月前，我在《福布斯》雜志舉辦的“30歲以下”峰會(huì)（Under 30 Summit）上發(fā)表了首次公開(kāi)演講?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)1500位才華橫溢的與會(huì)者都不到30歲。這意味著1998年，他們中最年長(zhǎng)的是14歲，而最年輕的只有4歲。我跟他們開(kāi)玩笑道，他們中有些人可能只在說(shuō)唱歌曲里聽(tīng)到過(guò)我的名字。是的，大約有40首說(shuō)唱歌曲唱過(guò)我。
But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened.At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy.I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined.You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again.I realized later that night, I'm probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again.但是，在我演講當(dāng)晚，發(fā)生了一件令人吃驚的事——我作為一個(gè)41歲的女人，被一個(gè)27歲的男孩示愛(ài)。我知道，這聽(tīng)上去不太可能對(duì)吧？他很迷人，說(shuō)了很多恭維我的話(huà)，然后我拒絕了他。你知道他為何搭訕失敗嗎？他說(shuō)，他可以讓我感到又回到了22歲。后來(lái)，那晚我意識(shí)到，也許我是年過(guò)40歲的女人中唯一一個(gè)不想重返22歲的人。
At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences.Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn't make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep.That's what I thought.So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss.Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn't the president of the United States of America.Of course, life is full of surprises.Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply.22歲時(shí)，我愛(ài)上了我的老板；24歲的時(shí)，我飽受了這場(chǎng)戀愛(ài)帶來(lái)的災(zāi)難性的后果?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)的觀(guān)眾們，如果你們?cè)?2歲的時(shí)候沒(méi)有犯過(guò)錯(cuò)，或者沒(méi)有做過(guò)讓自己后悔的事，請(qǐng)舉起手好嗎？是的，和我想的一樣。與我一樣，22歲時(shí)，你們中有一些人也曾走過(guò)彎路，愛(ài)上了不該愛(ài)的人，也許是你們的老板。但與我不同的是，你們的老板可能不會(huì)是美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。當(dāng)然，人生充滿(mǎn)驚奇。之后的每一天，我都會(huì)想起自己所犯的錯(cuò)誤，并為之深深感到后悔。
In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before.Remember, just a few years earlier,news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television.That was it.But that wasn't my fate.Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution.That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online.It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.飽受網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌之苦 1998年，在卷入一場(chǎng)不可思議的戀情后，我又被卷入了一場(chǎng)前所未有的政治、法律和輿論漩渦的中心。記得嗎？幾年前，新聞一般通過(guò)三個(gè)途徑傳播：讀報(bào)紙雜志、聽(tīng)廣播、和看電視，僅此而已。但我的命運(yùn)并不是僅此而已。這樁丑聞是通過(guò)數(shù)字革命傳播的。這意味著我們可以獲取任何我們需要的信息，不論何時(shí)何地。這則新聞在1998年1月爆發(fā)時(shí)，它也在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上火了。這是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)第一次在重大新聞事件報(bào)道中超越了傳統(tǒng)媒體。只要輕點(diǎn)一下鼠標(biāo)，就會(huì)在全世界引起反響。
What that meant for me personally was that overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide.I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.This rush to judgment, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers.Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and, of course, email cruel jokes.News sources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV.Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret? 對(duì)我個(gè)人而言，這則新聞讓我一夜之間從一個(gè)無(wú)名小卒變成了全世界人民公開(kāi)羞辱的對(duì)象。我成了第一個(gè)經(jīng)歷在全世界范圍內(nèi)名譽(yù)掃地的“零號(hào)病人”。科技是這場(chǎng)草率審判的始作俑者，無(wú)數(shù)暴民向我投擲石塊。當(dāng)然，那時(shí)還沒(méi)有社交媒體，但人們依然可以在網(wǎng)上發(fā)表評(píng)論，通過(guò)電子郵件傳播新聞和殘酷的玩笑。新聞媒體貼滿(mǎn)了我的照片，借此來(lái)兜售報(bào)紙，為網(wǎng)頁(yè)吸引廣告商，提高電視收視率。記得當(dāng)時(shí)的那張照片嗎？我戴著貝雷帽的照片。
Now, I admit I made mistakes, especially wearing that beret.But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented.I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman.I was seen by many but actually known by few.And I get it: it was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken.現(xiàn)在，我承認(rèn)我犯了錯(cuò)，特別是不該戴那頂貝雷帽。但是，除了事件本身，我因此受到的關(guān)注和審判是前所未有的。我被貼上“淫婦”、“妓女”，“蕩婦”，“婊子”，“蠢女人”的標(biāo)簽，當(dāng)然，還有“那個(gè)女人”。許多人看到了我，但很少有人真正了解我。對(duì)此我表示理解，因?yàn)槿藗兒苋菀淄洝澳莻€(gè)女人”也是一個(gè)活生生的人，她也有靈魂，她也曾過(guò)著平靜的生活。
When this happened to me 17 years ago, there was no name for it.Now we call it cyberbullying and online harassment.Today, I want to share some of my experience with you, talk about how that experience has helped shape my cultural observations, and how I hope my past experience can lead to a change that results in less suffering for others.17年前，對(duì)于我經(jīng)歷的這些遭遇還沒(méi)有一個(gè)專(zhuān)有名詞?，F(xiàn)在，我們稱(chēng)之為“網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌”和“網(wǎng)上騷擾”。今天我要與你們分享一些我的經(jīng)歷，我想談?wù)勀谴谓?jīng)歷是如何形成了我的文化觀(guān)察，我希望我過(guò)去的經(jīng)歷能夠產(chǎn)生一些改變，減少他人的痛苦。
In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity.I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life.1998年，我失去了名譽(yù)和尊嚴(yán)。我?guī)缀跏チ怂?，我?guī)缀跏チ宋业娜松３舐劚l(fā)之后，鋪天蓋地都是對(duì)此事件的報(bào)道。Let me paint a picture for you.It is September of 1998.I'm sitting in a windowless office room inside the Office of the Independent Counsel underneath humming fluorescent lights.I'm listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before.I’m here because I've been legally required to personally authenticate all 20 hours of taped conversation.For the past eight months, the mysterious content of these tapes has hung like the Sword of Damocles over my head.I mean, who can remember what they said a year ago?
讓我來(lái)描繪這樣一幅場(chǎng)景：1998年9月的一天，我坐在美國(guó)獨(dú)立檢察官辦公室一間沒(méi)有窗的屋子里，頭頂上的日光燈嗡嗡作響。我正在聽(tīng)我的錄音，那是一位所謂的朋友偷偷錄下的電話(huà)談話(huà)。我被依法要求鑒定那20個(gè)小時(shí)的電話(huà)錄音是真實(shí)的。在過(guò)去的八個(gè)月里，這些錄音帶中神秘的內(nèi)容就像一把懸在我頭頂?shù)倪_(dá)摩克利斯之劍。我的意思是，有誰(shuí)會(huì)記得自己一年前說(shuō)過(guò)的話(huà)？ Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day;listen as I confess my love for the president, and, of course, my heartbreak;listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth;listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worst version of myself,a self I don't even recognize.在恐懼和羞愧中，我聽(tīng)著錄音，聽(tīng)我閑扯每天發(fā)生的瑣碎之事；聽(tīng)我坦白對(duì)總統(tǒng)的愛(ài)慕，當(dāng)然，還有我的心碎；聽(tīng)有時(shí)尖酸，有時(shí)粗魯，有時(shí)愚蠢的我是如何冷酷，無(wú)情，無(wú)理取鬧。我?guī)е钌畹男呃⒙?tīng)著那個(gè)最糟糕的我的聲音，糟糕到我自己都不認(rèn)識(shí)了。A few days later, the Starr Report is released to Congress, and all of those tapes and trans, those stolen words, form a part of it.That people can read the trans is horrific enough, but a few weeks later, the audio tapes are aired on TV, and significant portions made available online.The public humiliation was excruciating.Life was almost unbearable.幾天后，斯塔爾報(bào)告提交至國(guó)會(huì)，那些錄音帶和文字記錄，那些被竊取的言語(yǔ)，都是這份報(bào)告的一部分。人們能夠讀到這些文字對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)已經(jīng)夠恐怖了，但是幾個(gè)星期后，那些錄音又在電視上播放，有一些重要的內(nèi)容還被發(fā)布在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上。公開(kāi)的羞辱讓我飽受折磨。這樣的生活讓我?guī)缀鯚o(wú)法忍受。
This was not something that happened with regularity back then in 1998, and by this, I mean the stealing of people's private words, actions，conversations or photos, and then making them public--public without consent, public without context, and public without compassion.在1998年，我所說(shuō)的這些還并不常見(jiàn)。我指的是竊取他人私下的言語(yǔ)、行動(dòng)、談話(huà)內(nèi)容和照片，并公之于眾——在未經(jīng)本人同意，未交待背景的情況下，毫無(wú)惻隱之心地將這些內(nèi)容公之于眾。
Fast forward 12 years to 2010, and now social media has been born.The landscape has sadly become much more populated with instances like mine, whether or not someone actually make a mistake, and now it's for both public and private people.The consequences for some have become dire, very dire.快進(jìn)到12年后的2010年，社交媒體誕生了。可悲的是，社交媒體上充斥著更多像我這樣的例子，不管這個(gè)當(dāng)事人是不是真的犯了錯(cuò)，而且，公眾人物和普羅大眾都深受其害。對(duì)于有些人來(lái)說(shuō)，后果是嚴(yán)重的，非常嚴(yán)重。
I was on the phone with my mom in September of 2010, and we were talking about the news of a young college freshman from Rutgers University named Tyler Clementi.Sweet, sensitive, creative Tyler was secretly webcammed by his roommate while being intimate with another man.When the online world learned of this incident, the ridicule and cyberbullying ignited.A few days later, Tyler jumped from the George Washington Bridge to his death.He was 18.2010年9月的一天，我正在和我的母親通電話(huà)，我們?cè)谟懻撘粍t新聞，關(guān)于羅格斯大學(xué)的一個(gè)名叫泰勒 克萊門(mén)蒂的大一新生。可愛(ài)、敏感、富有創(chuàng)意的克萊門(mén)蒂被室友偷拍到和另一個(gè)男人有親密關(guān)系。當(dāng)這個(gè)視頻在網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界曝光后，嘲笑和網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌的火種被點(diǎn)燃。幾天后，泰勒從喬治華盛頓大橋上縱身跳下。一個(gè)年僅18歲的生命就這樣逝去。
My mom was beside herself about what happened to Tyler and his family, and she was gutted with painin a way that I just couldn't quite understand, and then eventually I realized she was reliving 1998, reliving a time when she sat by my bed every night, reliving a time when she made me shower with the bathroom door open, and reliving a time when both of my parents feared that I would be humiliated to death,literally.我母親在講到泰勒和他的家人時(shí)情緒有些失控，她所表現(xiàn)出的痛苦讓我并不十分理解。后來(lái)，我才終于意識(shí)到，她正在重新經(jīng)歷1998年發(fā)生的一切。重新經(jīng)歷她每晚坐在我的床頭的時(shí)候；重新經(jīng)歷她要我開(kāi)著浴室門(mén)洗澡的時(shí)候，重新經(jīng)歷她和父親擔(dān)心我會(huì)因?yàn)槭艿叫呷瓒詫ざ桃?jiàn)的時(shí)候。真的是這樣。
Today, too many parents haven't had the chance to step in and rescue their loved ones.Too many have learned of their child's suffering and
humiliation after it was too late.今天，太多父母沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)及時(shí)介入來(lái)拯救他們摯愛(ài)的孩子。太多的人，當(dāng)他們獲悉自己的孩子的痛苦和受到的羞辱時(shí)，已為時(shí)已晚。
Tyler's tragic, senseless death was a turning point for me.It served to recontextualize my experiences, and I then began to look at the world of humiliation and bullying around me and see something different.泰勒悲慘而毫無(wú)意義的死亡對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。他讓我開(kāi)始重新審視我的親身經(jīng)歷，他讓我開(kāi)始觀(guān)察身邊這個(gè)充滿(mǎn)羞辱和欺凌的世界，讓我看到了不同的東西。In 1998, we had no way of knowing where this brave new technology called the Internet would take us.Since then, it has connected people in unimaginable ways, joining lost siblings, saving lives, launching revolutions, but the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had mushroomed.1998年，沒(méi)有人知道這種名叫“因特網(wǎng)”的新技術(shù)會(huì)把人類(lèi)帶向何方。自誕生以來(lái)，因特網(wǎng)用難以想象的方式將人類(lèi)聯(lián)系起來(lái)。它讓人們找到失散的兄弟姐妹、拯救生命、發(fā)起革命，但是我所遭受的黑暗、網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌和被稱(chēng)為“蕩婦”的羞辱也如雨后春筍般瘋長(zhǎng)。Every day online, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can't imagine living to the next day, and some, tragically, don't, and
there's nothing virtual about that.ChildLine, a U.K.nonprofit that's focused on helping young people on various issues,released a staggering statistic late last year: From 2012 to 2013, there was an 87 percent increase in calls and emails related to cyberbullying.A meta-analysis done out of the Netherlands showed that for the first time, cyberbullying was leading to suicidal ideations more significantly than offline bullying.And you know what shocked me, although it shouldn't have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was a more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger.每天，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上都會(huì)有人，特別是年輕人被辱罵和羞辱，而他們對(duì)此束手無(wú)策。這些辱罵和羞辱讓他們想立刻死去。悲劇的是，有些人，真的因此死去。這一點(diǎn)兒也不虛擬。
ChildLine是英國(guó)一個(gè)致力于幫助年輕人解決各種問(wèn)題的公益組織。去年年底，該組織公布了一組令人震驚的數(shù)據(jù)：從2012年到2013年，與網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌有關(guān)的電話(huà)和郵件數(shù)量增加了87%。一份來(lái)自荷蘭的綜合分析首次披露，網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌比線(xiàn)下欺凌更容易讓人產(chǎn)生自殺的念頭。去年，還有一項(xiàng)研究讓我震驚，盡管我并不該感到震驚。研究顯示，羞辱是比快樂(lè)或者生氣更為強(qiáng)烈的情緒。Cruelty to others is nothing new, but online, technologically enhanced shaming is amplified, uncontained, and permanently accessible.殘忍對(duì)待他人不是什么新鮮事，但是，在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上，技術(shù)讓羞辱放大，一發(fā)而不可收，并且永遠(yuǎn)可以被看到。
The echo of embarrassment used to extend only as far as your family, village, school or community, but now it's the online community too.Millions of people, often anonymously, can stab you with their words, and that's a lot of pain, and there are no perimeters around how many people can publicly observe you and put you in a public stockade.There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the Internet has jacked up that price.過(guò)去，丑聞最多在你的家庭、村莊、學(xué)校或者社區(qū)傳播。但是現(xiàn)在也在網(wǎng)絡(luò)社區(qū)流傳。數(shù)百萬(wàn)的網(wǎng)民，經(jīng)常匿名地惡語(yǔ)相向，這帶來(lái)很多痛苦。而且，到底有多少人可以公開(kāi)地關(guān)注你，讓你成為眾矢之的？這是無(wú)法計(jì)算的。被公開(kāi)羞辱對(duì)個(gè)人而言代價(jià)很大，而互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的發(fā)展加劇了這種代價(jià)。
For nearly two decades now, we have slowly been sowing the seeds of shame and public humiliation in our cultural soil, both on-and offline.Gossip websites, paparazzi, reality programming, politics, news outlets and
sometimes hackers all traffic in shame.It's led to desensitization and a
permissive environment online which lends itself to trolling, invasion of privacy, and cyberbullying.This shift has created what Professor Nicolaus Mills calls a culture of humiliation.近20年來(lái)，我們慢慢地在文化的土壤中播下恥辱和公開(kāi)羞辱的種子，無(wú)論是線(xiàn)上還是線(xiàn)下。八卦網(wǎng)站、狗仔隊(duì)、真人秀節(jié)目、政治、新聞媒體，有時(shí)甚至是黑客都是羞辱的通道。冷酷、放縱的網(wǎng)絡(luò)環(huán)境助長(zhǎng)了網(wǎng)絡(luò)煽動(dòng)、侵犯?jìng)€(gè)人隱私、和網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌。這種轉(zhuǎn)變形成了一種尼古拉斯
米爾斯教授所說(shuō)的羞辱文化。Consider a few prominent examples just from the past six months alone.Snapchat, the service which is used mainly by younger generationsand claims that its messages only have the lifespan of a few
seconds.You can imagine the range of content that that gets.A third-party app which Snapchatters use to preserve the lifespan of the messages was hacked, and 100,000 personal conversations, photos, and videos were leaked online to now have a lifespan of forever.想想最近六個(gè)月發(fā)生的事情。Snapchat是一項(xiàng)主要是年輕人使用的服務(wù)，它號(hào)稱(chēng)所有的信息只有幾秒鐘的壽命。你可以想象這些信息會(huì)包含哪些內(nèi)容。Snapchat用戶(hù)使用的保存信息的第三方應(yīng)用被黑客攻擊，近10萬(wàn)名用戶(hù)的私人談話(huà)、照片、視頻被泄露到網(wǎng)上。現(xiàn)在，它們可以永久保留了。Jennifer Lawrence and several other actors had their iCloud accounts hacked, and private, intimate, nude photos were plastered across the Internet without their permission.One gossip website had over five million hits for this one story.And what about the Sony Pictures
cyberhacking? The documents which received the most attention were private emails that had maximum public embarrassment value.詹妮弗 勞倫斯和其他幾位演員的iCloud賬戶(hù)被攻擊，他們所有私人的、親密的、裸體的照片在未經(jīng)允許的情況下在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上鋪天蓋地地傳播。一個(gè)八卦網(wǎng)站僅僅因?yàn)檫@一則新聞就獲得了超過(guò)500萬(wàn)的點(diǎn)擊量。索尼影視被黑客攻擊的情況又如何呢？最受關(guān)注的文件是那些公開(kāi)羞辱價(jià)值最大的私人電子郵件。
But in this culture of humiliation, there is another kind of price tag attached to public shaming.The price does not measure the cost to the victim, which Tyler and too many others, notably women, minorities,and members of the LGBTQ community have paid, but the price measures the profit of those who prey on them.This invasion of others is a raw material, efficiently and ruthlessly mined, packaged and sold at a profit.但是在這種羞辱文化中，公開(kāi)羞辱還被貼上了另一種價(jià)格標(biāo)簽。這個(gè)價(jià)格標(biāo)簽衡量的并不是受害者付出的代價(jià)，比如泰勒、還有其他很多人，特別是婦女，少數(shù)群體和同性戀、雙性戀、變性群體(LGBTQ)成員所付出的代價(jià)，而是衡量損害他們利益的牟利者的收益。侵入他人領(lǐng)域成了一種原材料，被人以最快的速度無(wú)情地挖掘，打包并出售。
A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry.How is the money made? Clicks.The more shame, the more clicks.The more clicks, the more advertising dollars.We're in a dangerous cycle.The more we click on this kind of gossip, the more numb we get to the human lives behind it, and the more numb we get, the more we click.一個(gè)市場(chǎng)橫空出世，公開(kāi)羞辱是商品，恥辱變成了一種產(chǎn)業(yè)。靠什么賺錢(qián)呢？點(diǎn)擊。恥辱越多，點(diǎn)擊越多。點(diǎn)擊越多，廣告收入就越多。我們身處一個(gè)惡性循環(huán)。我們對(duì)這類(lèi)八卦點(diǎn)擊得越多，我們就會(huì)對(duì)故事背后的當(dāng)事人越麻木。我們?cè)铰槟?，就越?huì)去點(diǎn)擊。
All the while, someone is making money off of the back of someone else's suffering.With every click, we make a choice.The more we saturate our culture with public shaming, the more accepted it is, the more we will see behavior like cyberbullying, trolling, some forms of hacking, and online harassment.Why? Because they all have humiliation at their cores.This behavior is a symptom of the culture we've created.Just think about it.與此同時(shí)，有些人把自己的利益建立在他人的痛苦之上，每一次點(diǎn)擊，我們都是在做出選擇。我們文化中充斥的公開(kāi)恥辱越多，它就越容易被接受，我們就會(huì)看到越多的網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌、網(wǎng)絡(luò)煽動(dòng)、某些形式的黑客入侵，和線(xiàn)上騷擾。為什么呢？因?yàn)樗鼈兊暮诵亩际切呷琛＿@種行為成為了我們所創(chuàng)造的一種文化病癥。想想吧。
Changing behavior begins with evolving beliefs.We've seen that to be true with racism, homophobia, and plenty of other biases, today and in the past.As we've changed beliefs about same-sex marriage, more people have been offered equal freedoms.When we began valuing sustainability, more people began to recycle.向網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌說(shuō)不。改變行為從改變信念開(kāi)始。不管是現(xiàn)在還是過(guò)去，無(wú)論是種族歧視、同性戀歧視和其它很多的歧視，都是這樣來(lái)消除的。隨著對(duì)同性戀結(jié)婚觀(guān)念的改變，更多人被賦予了平等的自由。隨著對(duì)可持續(xù)性的提倡，越來(lái)越多的人開(kāi)始循環(huán)利用。
So as far as our culture of humiliation goes, what we need is a cultural revolution.Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop, and it's time for an intervention on the Internet and in our culture.對(duì)于羞辱的文化也應(yīng)該如此。我們需要文化革命。公開(kāi)羞辱這種血腥的運(yùn)動(dòng)應(yīng)該終止，是時(shí)候?qū)τ⑻鼐W(wǎng)和我們的文化采取干預(yù)行動(dòng)了。
The shift begins with something simple, but it's not easy.We need to return to a long-held value of compassion--compassion and empathy.Online, we've got a compassion deficit, an empathy crisis.Researcher Brené Brown said, and I quote, “Shame can't survive empathy.” Shame cannot survive empathy.I've seen some very dark days in my life, and it was the compassion and empathy from my family, friends, professionals, and sometimes even strangers that saved me.轉(zhuǎn)變可以從簡(jiǎn)單的事開(kāi)始，不過(guò)這也不容易。我們需要回歸人類(lèi)固有的一種價(jià)值，也就是同情心和同理心。互聯(lián)網(wǎng)正經(jīng)歷著同情心匱乏和同理心危機(jī)。引用研究者布林 布朗的話(huà)來(lái)說(shuō)就是，“羞辱在同理心之下無(wú)法存活”。羞辱在同理心之下無(wú)法存活。我的人生中有過(guò)一些非常黑暗的日子，是來(lái)自家人、朋友、專(zhuān)業(yè)人士、甚至是一些陌生人的同情心和同理心拯救了我。
Even empathy from one person can make a difference.The theory of minority influence, proposed by social psychologist Serge Moscovici, says that even in small numbers, when there's consistency over time, change can happen.In the online world, we can foster minority influence by becoming upstanders.To become an upstander means instead of bystander apathy, we can post a positive comment for someone or report a bullying situation.哪怕只有一個(gè)人的同情也會(huì)產(chǎn)生改變。社會(huì)心理學(xué)家謝爾蓋 莫斯科維奇提出了小眾影響理論。他說(shuō)，哪怕是小眾人群，只要能堅(jiān)持下去，也能做出改變。在網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界中，我們可以成為行動(dòng)派，培養(yǎng)小眾影響力。成為行動(dòng)派意味著不再袖手旁觀(guān)，而是發(fā)表積極評(píng)論或是舉報(bào)欺凌現(xiàn)象。
Trust me, compassionate comments help abate the negativity.We can also counteract the culture by supporting organizations that deal with these kinds of issues, like the Tyler Clementi Foundation in the U.S., In the U.K., there's Anti-Bullying Pro, and in Australia, there's Project Rockit.相信我，表達(dá)同情的評(píng)論能夠削弱負(fù)面影響。我們還可以通過(guò)支持處理這類(lèi)問(wèn)題的組織機(jī)構(gòu)來(lái)對(duì)抗這種羞辱文化。例如，美國(guó)有泰勒 克萊門(mén)蒂基金，英國(guó)有反欺凌項(xiàng)目，澳大利亞有Rockit項(xiàng)目。
We talk a lot about our right to freedom of expression, but we need to talk more about our responsibility to freedom of expression.We all want to be heard, but let's acknowledge the difference between speaking up with intention and speaking up for attention.The Internet is the superhighway for the id, but online, showing empathy to others benefits us all and helps create a safer and better world.We need to communicate online with compassion, consume news with compassion, and click with compassion.Just imagine walking a mile in someone else's headline.I'd like to end on a personal note.關(guān)于言論自由的權(quán)力我們討論了很多，但我們還應(yīng)該更多地談?wù)勏硎苎哉撟杂蓵r(shí)所承擔(dān)的責(zé)任。我們都希望自己的聲音被聽(tīng)到，但是我們要區(qū)分有意圖的發(fā)聲和尋求關(guān)注的發(fā)聲。因特網(wǎng)是表達(dá)自我的超級(jí)高速公路，但是，站在他人角度考慮問(wèn)題對(duì)我們都是有利的，而且能夠幫助創(chuàng)建更安全，更美好的世界。
我們需要懷著同情心在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上交流，懷著同情心閱讀新聞，懷著同情心點(diǎn)擊鼠標(biāo)。試著想象活在別人的新聞?lì)^條里。
In the past nine months, the question I've been asked the most is why.Why now? Why was I sticking my head above the parapet? You can read between the lines in those questions, and the answer has nothing to do with politics.最后我想以個(gè)人說(shuō)明做總結(jié)。過(guò)去九個(gè)月里，我被人問(wèn)得最多的問(wèn)題是“為什么”。為什么是現(xiàn)在？為什么要逆流而上？你們應(yīng)該可以聽(tīng)出這些問(wèn)題的言外之意。答案與政治無(wú)關(guān)。
The top note answer was and is because it's time: time to stop tip-toeing around my past;time to stop living a life of opprobrium;and time to take back my narrative.It's also not just about saving myself.Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing: You can survive it.I know it's hard.It may not be painless, quick or easy, but you can insist on a different ending to your story.我的答案是，因?yàn)槭菚r(shí)候了，是時(shí)候不再為過(guò)去而過(guò)得如履薄冰，是時(shí)候結(jié)束背負(fù)罵名的生活，是時(shí)候奪回我的話(huà)語(yǔ)權(quán)了。這不僅僅是為了拯救我自己。任何遭受恥辱和公開(kāi)羞辱的人，都需要明白一點(diǎn)：你能挺過(guò)來(lái)。我知道這很難，肯定會(huì)伴隨痛苦，肯定不會(huì)又快又輕松，但你可以通過(guò)你的堅(jiān)持，書(shū)寫(xiě)一個(gè)不同的故事結(jié)局。
Have compassion for yourself.We all deserve compassion, and to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.同情自己。我們都值得同情，無(wú)論線(xiàn)上還是線(xiàn)下，我們都應(yīng)該生活在一個(gè)更富有同情心的世界。Thank you for listening.謝謝聆聽(tīng)！
第四篇：萊溫斯基TED演講：來(lái)自人生的經(jīng)驗(yàn)與懺悔
You are looking at a woman who was publicly silent for a decades.Obviously, that’s changed, but only recently.It was several months ago, that I gave the speech at Forbes 30 under 30 summit, 1,500 brilliant people, all under the age of 30.That meant that in 1998, the oldest among the group were only 14, and the youngest ,just 4.I joked with them that some might only have heard of me from rap songs.Yes, I’m in rap songs.Almost 40 rap songs.But the night of my speech, a surprising thing happened.At the age of 41, I was hit on by a 27-year-old guy.I know, right? He was charming and I was flattered, and I declined.You know what his unsuccessful pickup line was? He could make me feel 22 again.I realized later that night, I’m probably the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again.At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences.Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn’t make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep.That’s what I thought.So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss.Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn’t the president of the United States of America.Of course, life is full of surprises.Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply.In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before.Remember, just a few years earlier, news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television.That was it.But that wasn’t my fate.Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution.That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online.It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.What that meant for me personally was the overnight I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide.I was patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.This rush to judgment, enabled by technology, led mobs of virtual stone-throwers.Granted, it was before social media, but people could still comment online, email stories, and of course, email cruel jokes.News sources plastered photos of me all over to sell newspapers, banner ads online, and to keep people tuned to the TV.Do you recall a particular image of me, say, wearing a beret? But the attention and judgment that I received, not the story, but that I personally received, was unprecedented.I was branded as a tramp, tart, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman.I was seen by many but actually known by few.And I get it: it was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional had a soul, and was once unbroken.When this happened to me 17 years ago, there was no name for it.Now we call it cyberbullying and online harassment.Today, I want to share some of my experience with you, talk about how that experience has helped shape my cultural observations, and how I hope my past experience can lead to a change that results in less suffering for others.In1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity.I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life.Let me paint a picture for you.It is September of 1998.I’m sitting in a windowless office room inside the Office of the Independent Counsel underneath humming fluorescent lights.I’m listening to the sound of my voice, my voice on surreptitiously taped phone calls that a supposed friend had made the year before.I’m here because I’ve been legally required to personally authenticate all 20 hours of taped conversation.For the past eight months, the mysterious content of these tapes has hung like the Sword of Damocles over my head.I mean, who can remember what they said a year ago? Scared and mortified, I listen, listen as I prattle on about the flotsam and jetsam of the day;listen as I confess my love for the president, and of course, my heartbreak;listen to my sometimes catty, sometimes churlish, sometimes silly self being cruel, unforgiving, uncouth;listen, deeply, deeply ashamed, to the worst version of myself, a self I don’t even recognize.A few days later, the Starr Report is released the congress, and all of those tapes and transcripts, those stolen words, from a part of it.That people can read the transcripts is horrific enough, but a few weeks later, the audio tapes are aired on TV, and significant portions made available online.The public humiliation was excruciating.Life was almost unbearable.This was not something that happened with regularity back then 1998, and by this, I mean the stealing of people’s private words, actions, conversations or photos, and making them public—public without consent, public without context, and public without compassion.Fast forward 12 years to 2010, and now social media has been born.The landscape has sadly become much more populated with instances like mine, whether or not someone actually make a mistake, and now it’s for both public and private people.The consequences for some have become dire, very dire.I was on the phone with my mom in September of 2010, and we were talking about the news of a young college freshman from Rutgers University named Tyler Clementi.A sweet sensitive, creative Tyler was secretly webcam med by his roommate while being intimate with another man.When the online world learned of this incident, the ridicule and cyberbullying ignited.A few days later, Tyler jumped from the George Washington Bridge to his death.He was 18.My mom was beside herself about what happened to Tyler and his family, and she was gutted with pain in a way that I just couldn’t quite understand, and then eventually I realized she was reliving 1998, reliving a time when she sat by my bed every night,(sorry)reliving a time when she made me shower with a bathroom door open and reliving a time when both of my parents feared that I would be humiliated to death, literally.Today, too many parents haven’t had the chance to step in and rescue their loved ones.Too many have learned of their child’s suffering and humiliation after it was too late.Tyler’s tragic, senseless death was a turning point for me.It served to recontextualize my experiences, and I began to look at the world of humiliation and bullying around me and see something different.In 1998, we had no way of knowing where this brave new technology called the internet would take us.Since then, it has connected people in unimaginable ways, joining lost siblings, saving lives, launching revolutions, but the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had mushroomed.Every day on line, people, especially young people who are not developmentally equipped to handle this, are so abused and humiliated that they can’t imagine living to the next day, and some, tragically, don’t, and there’s nothing virtual about that.Child Line, a UK nonprofit that’s focused on helping young people on various issues, released a staggering statistic late last year: from 2012 to 2013, there was an 87 percent increase in calls and emails related to cyberbullying.A meta-analysis done out of the Netherlands showed that for the first time, cyberbullying was leading to suicidal ideations more significantly than offline bullying.And you know what shocked me, although it shouldn’t have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger.Cruelty to others is nothing new, but online, technologically enhanced shaming is amplified, uncontained, and permanently accessible.The echo of embarrassment used to extend only as far as your family, village, school or community, but now it’s the online community too.Millions of people, often anonymously, can stab you with their words, and that’s a lot of pain, and there are no perimeters around how many people can publicly observe you and put you in a public stockade.There is a very personal price to public humiliation, and the growth of the internet has jacked up that price.For nearly two decades now, we have slowly been sowing the seeds of shame and public humiliation in our cultural soil, both on-and offline.Gossip websites, paparazzi, reality programming, politics, news outlets and sometimes hackers all traffic in shame.It’s led to desensitization and a permissive environment online which lends itself to trolling, invasion of privacy, and cyberbullying.This shift has created what professor Nicolaus Mills calls a culture of humiliation.Consider a few prominent examples just from the past six months alone.Snapchat, the service which is used mainly by younger generations and claims that its messages only have the lifespan of a few seconds.You can imagine the range of content that gets.A third-party app which Snapchatters use to preserve the lifespan of the messages was hacked, and 100,000 personal conversations, photos, and videos were leaked

permission.One gossip website had over five million hits for this one story.And what about the Sony Pictures cyberhacking? The documents which received the most attention were private emails that had maximum public embarrassment value.But in this culture of humiliation, there is another kind of price tag attached to public shaming.The price does not measure the cost to the victim, which Tyler and too many others, notably women, minorities and members of the LGBTQ community have paid, but the price measures that profit of those who prey on them.This invasion of others is a raw material, efficiently and ruthlessly mined, packaged and sold at a profit.A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry.How is the money made? Clicks.The more shame, the more clicks.the more clicks, the more advertising dollars.We’re in a dangerous cycle.The more we click on this kind of gossip, the more numb we get to the human lives behind it, and the more numb we get, the more we click.All the while, someone is making money off the back of someone else’s suffering.With every click, we make a choice.The more we saturate our culture with public shaming, the more accepted it is, the more we will see behavior like cyberbullying, trolling, some forms of hacking, and online harassment.Why?

Brian Cox: CERN's supercollider This is the Large Hadron Collider.It's 27 kilometers in circumference.It's the biggest scientific experiment ever attempted.Over 10,000 physicists and engineers from 85 countries around the world have come together over several decades to build this machine.What we do is we accelerate protons--so, hydrogen nuclei--around 99.999999 percent the speed of light.Right? At that speed, they go around that 27 kilometers 11,000 times a second.And we collide them with another beam of protons going in the opposite direction.We collide them inside giant detectors.They're essentially digital cameras.And this is the one that I work on, ATLAS.You get some sense of the size--you can just see these EU standard-size people underneath.(Laughter)You get some sense of the size: 44 meters wide, 22 meters in diameter, 7,000 tons.And we re-create the conditions that were present less than a billionth of a second after the universe began up to 600 million times a second inside that detector--immense numbers.And if you see those metal bits there--those are huge magnets that bend electrically charged particles, so it can measure how fast they're traveling.This is a picture about a year ago.Those magnets are in there.And, again, a EU standard-size, real person, so you get some sense of the scale.And it's in there that those mini-Big Bangs will be created, sometime in the summer this year.And actually, this morning, I got an email saying that we've just finished, today, building the last piece of ATLAS.So as of today, it's finished.I'd like to say that I planned that for TED, but I didn't.So it's been completed as of today.(Applause)Yeah, it's a wonderful achievement.So, you might be asking, “Why? Why create the conditions that were present less than a billionth of a second after the universe began?” Well, particle physicists are nothing if not ambitious.And the aim of particle physics is to understand what everything's made of, and how everything sticks together.And by everything I mean, of course, me and you, the Earth, the Sun, the 100 billion suns in our galaxy and the 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.Absolutely everything.Now you might say, “Well, OK, but why not just look at it? You know? If you want to know what I'm made of, let's look at me.” Well, we found that as you look back in time, the universe gets hotter and hotter, denser and denser, and simpler and simpler.Now, there's no real reason I'm aware of for that, but that seems to be the case.So, way back in the early times of the universe, we believe it was very simple and understandable.All this complexity, all the way to these wonderful things--human brains--are a property of an old and cold and complicated universe.Back at the start, in the first billionth of a second, we believe, or we've observed, it was very simple.It's almost like...imagine a snowflake in your hand, and you look at it, and it's an incredibly complicated, beautiful object.But as you heat it up, it'll melt into a pool of water, and you would be able to see that, actually, it was just made of H20, water.So it's in that same sense that we look back in time to understand what the universe is made of.And, as of today, it's made of these things.Just 12 particles of matter, stuck together by four forces of nature.The quarks, these pink things, are the things that make up protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nuclei in your body.The electron--the thing that goes around the atomic nucleus--held around in orbit, by the way, by the electromagnetic force that's carried by this thing, the photon.The quarks are stuck together by other things called gluons.And these guys, here, they're the weak nuclear force, probably the least familiar.But, without it, the sun wouldn't shine.And when the sun shines, you get copious quantities of these things, called neutrinos, pouring out.Actually, if you just look at your thumbnail--about a square centimeter--there are something like 60 billion neutrinos per second from the sun, passing through every square centimeter of your body.But you don't feel them, because the weak force is correctly named--very short range and very weak, so they just fly through you.And these particles have been discovered over the last century, pretty much.The first one, the electron, was discovered in 1897, and the last one, this thing called the tau neutrino, in the year 2000.Actually just--I was going to say, just up the road in Chicago.I know it's a big country, America, isn't it? Just up the road.Relative to the universe, it's just up the road.(Laughter)So, this thing was discovered in the year 2000, so it's a relatively recent picture.One of the wonderful things, actually, I find, is that we've discovered any of them, when you realize how tiny they are.You know, they're a step in size from the entire observable universe.So, 100 billion galaxies, 13.7 billion light years away--a step in size from that to Monterey, actually, is about the same as from Monterey to these things.Absolutely, exquisitely minute, and yet we've discovered pretty much the full set.So, one of my most illustrious forebears at Manchester University, Ernest Rutherford, discoverer of the atomic nucleus, once said, “All science is either physics or stamp collecting.” Now, I don't think he meant to insult the rest of science, although he was from New Zealand, so it's possible.(Laughter)But what he meant was that what we've done, really, is stamp collect there.OK, we've discovered the particles, but unless you understand the underlying reason for that pattern--you know, why it's built the way it is--really you've done stamp collecting.You haven't done science.Fortunately, we have probably one of the greatest scientific achievements of the twentieth century that underpins that pattern.It's the Newton's laws, if you want, of particle physics.It's called the standard model--beautifully simple mathematical equation.You could stick it on the front of a T-shirt, which is always the sign of elegance.This is it.(Laughter)I've been a little disingenuous, because I've expanded it out in all its gory detail.This equation, though, allows you to calculate everything--other than gravity--that happens in the universe.So, you want to know why the sky is blue, why atomic nuclei stick together--in principle, you've got a big enough computer--why DNA is the shape it is.In principle, you should be able to calculate it from that equation.But there's a problem.Can anyone see what it is? A bottle of champagne for anyone that tells me.I'll make it easier, actually, by blowing one of the lines up.Basically, each of these terms refers to some of the particles.So those Ws there refer to the Ws, and how they stick together.These carriers of the weak force, the Zs, the same.But there's an extra symbol in this equation: H.Right, H.H stands for Higgs particle.Higgs particles have not been discovered.But they're necessary: they're necessary to make that mathematics work.So all the exquisitely detailed calculations we can do with that wonderful equation wouldn't be possible without an extra bit.So it's a prediction: a prediction of a new particle.What does it do? Well, we had a long time to come up with good analogies.And back in the 1980s, when we wanted the money for the LHC from the U.K.government, Margaret Thatcher, at the time, said, “If you guys can explain, in language a politician can understand, what the hell it is that you're doing, you can have the money.I want to know what this Higgs particle does.” And we came up with this analogy, and it seemed to work.Well, what the Higgs does is, it gives mass to the fundamental particles.And the picture is that the whole universe--and that doesn't mean just space, it means me as well, and inside you--the whole universe is full of something called a Higgs field.Higgs particles, if you will.The analogy is that these people in a room are the Higgs particles.Now when a particle moves through the universe, it can interact with these Higgs particles.But imagine someone who's not very popular moves through the room.Then everyone ignores them.They can just pass through the room very quickly, essentially at the speed of light.They're massless.And imagine someone incredibly important and popular and intelligent walks into the room.They're surrounded by people, and their passage through the room is impeded.It's almost like they get heavy.They get massive.And that's exactly the way the Higgs mechanism works.The picture is that the electrons and the quarks in your body and in the universe that we see around us are heavy, in a sense, and massive, because they're surrounded by Higgs particles.They're interacting with the Higgs field.If that picture's true, then we have to discover those Higgs particles at the LHC.If it's not true--because it's quite a convoluted mechanism, although it's the simplest we've been able to think of--then whatever does the job of the Higgs particles we know have to turn up at the LHC.So, that's one of the prime reasons we built this giant machine.I'm glad you recognize Margaret Thatcher.Actually, I thought about making it more culturally relevant, but--(Laughter)anyway.So that's one thing.That's essentially a guarantee of what the LHC will find.There are many other things.You've heard many of the big problems in particle physics.One of them you heard about: dark matter, dark energy.There's another issue, which is that the forces in nature--it's quite beautiful, actually--seem, as you go back in time, they seem to change in strength.Well, they do change in strength.So, the electromagnetic force, the force that holds us together, gets stronger as you go to higher temperatures.The strong force, the strong nuclear force, which sticks nuclei together, gets weaker.And what you see is the standard model--you can calculate how these change--is the forces, the three forces, other than gravity, almost seem to come together at one point.It's almost as if there was one beautiful kind of super-force, back at the beginning of time.But they just miss.Now there's a theory called super-symmetry, which doubles the number of particles in the standard model, which, at first sight, doesn't sound like a simplification.But actually, with this theory, we find that the forces of nature do seem to unify together, back at the Big Bang--absolutely beautiful prophecy.The model wasn't built to do that, but it seems to do it.Also, those super-symmetric particles are very strong candidates for the dark matter.So a very compelling theory that's really mainstream physics.And if I was to put money on it, I would put money on--in a very unscientific way--that that these things would also crop up at the LHC.Many other things that the LHC could discover.But in the last few minutes, I just want to give you a different perspective of what I think--what particle physics really means to me--particle physics and cosmology.And that's that I think it's given us a wonderful narrative--almost a creation story, if you'd like--about the universe, from modern science over the last few decades.And I'd say that it deserves, in the spirit of Wade Davis' talk, to be at least put up there with these wonderful creation stories of the peoples of the high Andes and the frozen north.This is a creation story, I think, equally as wonderful.The story goes like this: we know that the universe began 13.7 billion years ago, in an immensely hot, dense state, much smaller than a single atom.It began to expand about a million, billion, billion, billion billionth of a second--I think I got that right--after the Big Bang.Gravity separated away from the other forces.The universe then underwent an exponential expansion called inflation.In about the first billionth of a second or so, the Higgs field kicked in, and the quarks and the gluons and the electrons that make us up got mass.The universe continued to expand and cool.After about a few minutes, there was hydrogen and helium in the universe.That's all.The universe was about 75 percent hydrogen, 25 percent helium.It still is today.It continued to expand about 300 million years.Then light began to travel through the universe.It was big enough to be transparent to light, and that's what we see in the cosmic microwave background that George Smoot described as looking at the face of God.After about 400 million years, the first stars formed, and that hydrogen, that helium, then began to cook into the heavier elements.So the elements of life--carbon, and oxygen and iron, all the elements that we need to make us up--were cooked in those first generations of stars, which then ran out of fuel, exploded, threw those elements back into the universe.They then re-collapsed into another generation of stars and planets.And on some of those planets, the oxygen, which had been created in that first generation of stars, could fuse with hydrogen to form water, liquid water on the surface.On at least one, and maybe only one of those planets, primitive life evolved, which evolved over millions of years into things that walked upright and left footprints about three and a half million years ago in the mud flats of Tanzania, and eventually left a footprint on another world.And built this civilization, this wonderful picture, that turned the darkness into light, and you can see the civilization from space.As one of my great heroes, Carl Sagan, said, these are the things--and actually, not only these, but I was looking around--these are the things, like Saturn V rockets, and Sputnik, and DNA, and literature and science--these are the things that hydrogen atoms do when given 13.7 billion years.Absolutely remarkable.And, the laws of physics.Right? So, the right laws of physics--they're beautifully balanced.If the weak force had been a little bit different, then carbon and oxygen wouldn't be stable inside the hearts of stars, and there would be none of that in the universe.And I think that's a wonderful and significant story.50 years ago, I couldn't have told that story, because we didn't know it.It makes me really feel that that civilization--which, as I say, if you believe the scientific creation story, has emerged purely as a result of the laws of physics, and a few hydrogen atoms--then I think, to me anyway, it makes me feel incredibly valuable.So that's the LHC.The LHC is certainly, when it turns on in summer, going to write the next chapter of that book.And I'm certainly looking forward with immense excitement to it being turned on.Thanks.(Applause)
