TED Talk >> Hugh Evans: What does it mean to be a citizen of the world?
I want to introduce you to an amazing woman. Her name is Davinia. Davinia was born in Jamaica, emigrated to the US at the age of 18, and now lives just outside of Washington, DC. She's not a high-powered political staffer, nor a lobbyist. She'd probably tell you she's quite unremarkable, but she's having the most remarkable impact. What's incredible about Davinia is that she's willing to spend time every single week focused on people who are not her: people not her in her neighborhood, her state, nor even in her country -- people she'd likely never meet.
我想介绍一个很厉害的女人，她叫Davinia。Davinia出生在牙买加 18岁时移民去了美国，现在住在华盛顿的外面，她不是有权力的政治职员，也不是一个说客。她可能会告诉你，她挺不起眼的，但她却造成了非凡的影响。她不可思议的地方在于她愿意每周花时间去专注于那些和她没有关系的人，这些人不是她的邻居，不在她的州，甚至不在她的国家，这些人她可能从未见过。
Davinia's impact started a few years ago when she reached out to all of her friends on Facebook, and asked them to donate their pennies so she could fund girls' education. She wasn't expecting a huge response, but 700,000 pennies later, she's now sent over 120 girls to school. 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.
Davinia的影响开始于几年前。当她在脸书伸手向朋友寻求帮助，让他们捐助一些小钱，她就可以资助女孩的教育发展。她没想过有这么大的回应，但她后来获得了700000便士，她可以让120个女孩上学校了。我们上个星期刚刚谈过，她说她在当地银行不怎么受欢迎，因为每次她都慢慢地推着一推车的便士来到银行。
Now -- Davinia is not alone. Far from it. She's part of a growing movement. And there's a name for people like Davinia: global citizens. A global citizen is someone who self-identifies first and foremost not as a member of a state, a tribe or a nation, but as a member of the human race, and someone who is prepared to act on that belief, to tackle our world's greatest challenges. Our work is focused on finding, supporting and activating global citizens. They exist in every country and among every demographic.
现在，Davinia并不孤单，远非如此。她不过是蓬勃发展运动中的一部分，有一个词可以形容他们——世界公民。世界公民是指那些不将自我定义成一个国家、部落、或者民族的成员，而是整个人类中的一员，并且他们已经为遵循这条信念，做好了准备，去解决世界最困难的挑战。我们的工作就是找到、支持、和动员这些世界公民，他们存在于每个国家，存在于众多人口当中。
I want to make the case to you today that the world's future depends on global citizens. 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. They are ultimately global issues, and they can ultimately only be solved by global citizens demanding global solutions from their leaders.
我今天会举一个实例，表明世界公民将决定世界的未来。我很确信，如果我们世界，有更多的世界公民参与，那我们现在面对的各种挑战，例如贫穷、气候变化、性别歧视，这些都可以得到解决。他们最终都会成为世界性问题，并且最终通过世界公民向他们的领导者，寻求全球性的解决方案的方式解决。
