前不久,美国*女校维斯理学院(Wellesley College)邀约阿尔及利亚当代女作家奇玛曼达・恩戈兹・阿迪契(Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)在二零一五年毕业晚会上*演说。阿迪契与将要步入社会的女孩们共享了她对女权运动的个人见解和一些人生建议,他说,“始终不必由于‘你是个女人’而去干什么或舍弃哪些。”



演说关键点(送给女孩们):

All over the world, girls are raised to make themselves likeable, to twist themselves into shapes that suit other people. Please do not twist yourself into shapes to please. Don't do it.

全球的女生都被教导要让自身惹人喜爱,更新改造自身去顺从别人,请不要这样做,千万别。

If someone likes that version of you, that version of you that is false and holds back, then they actually just like that twisted shape, and not you. And the world is such a gloriously multifaceted, diverse place that there are people in the world who will like you, the real you as you are.

假如有些人喜爱那般的你,哪个虚报的有一定的瞒报的你,那她们喜爱的仅仅哪个重影,而不是你。全球那麼奇特多元化,总有人会喜爱真正的你,那个你本来的模样。

Teach your students to see that vulnerability is a HUMAN rather than a FEMALE trait. Commission magazine articles that teach men HOW TO KEEP A WOMAN HAPPY. Because there are already too many articles that tell women how to keep a man happy.

教导你的学员,敏感啊你的名字.不止是女人。编写教导男人取悦女人的杂志文章,由于早已有过多的文章内容教导女人怎样取悦男人。

I don't speak to provoke. I speak because our time on earth is short, and each moment that we are not our truest selves, each moment we pretend to be what we are not, each moment we say what we do not mean because we imagine that is what somebody want us to say, then we are wasting our time on earth. I don't mean to sound precious, but please don't waste your time on earth.

我讲话不以激怒,只由于生命太过短暂性,而每一刻的躲避,每一刻的掩藏,每一刻的心口不一,全是在消耗自身的生命。不是我在煲鸡汤,但请不要消耗生命。

There are certain things my mother believes a person should do for the simple reason that sad person "is a woman". Such as occasionally nod and smile, even when smiling is the last thing one wants to do. Such as strategically give in to certain arguments, especially when arguing with a non-female. Such as get married and have children. I can think of fairly good reasons for doing any of these. But "because you are a woman" is not one of them. Never ever accept "because you are a woman" as a reason for doing or not doing anything.

我妈妈觉得,作为女人,就代表着一些事儿迫不得已做。比如时常点点头和笑容,即便她很有可能并不情愿;比如策略地妥协,尤其是在和男士争吵的情况下;比如娶妻生子,我能想到许多 正当性的原因去做这种事儿,但决不能由于“你是一个女人”。始终不必将“自身是一个女人”做为做或不做某事的原因。

Now girls are often raised to see love only as giving. Women are praised for their love when that love is an act of giving. But to love is to give AND to take. Please love by giving and by taking. Give and be given. Dare to take.

如今的女生把感情视作无私奉献,女人因他们的给予之爱而加倍奖赏。可是爱代表着给予和索取。请还记得在给予爱的另外还要索取爱。给予和被给予。英勇去索取。
