Being a Global Citizen 1"16:40"
What does it mean to be a citizen of a world?
-----Hugh Evans
I want to introduce you to an amazing woman.
我想给你们介绍一个了不起的女性。
Her name is Davinia.
她的名字叫Davinia.
Davinia was born in Jamaica（牙买加）, emigrated（移民） to the US at the age of 18, and now lives just outside of Washington DC.
Davinia出生在牙买加，18岁时移民到美国，现在就生活在华盛顿郊外。
She's not a high-powered political staffer（职员）, not a lobbyist（说客）.
她不是一个权高位重的政府职员，不是一个说客。
She'd probably tell you she's quite unremarkable, but she's having the most remarkable impact.
她很有可能告诉你她非常的平凡，但是她却拥有最非凡的影响。
What's incredible about Davinia is she's willing to spend time every single week focused on people who are not her.
Davinia 最令人不可思议的是，她愿意每个星期都花时间去关注人们，而不是她自己。
People not in her neighborhood, she state, not even her country, people she'd likely never meet.
那些人不是她的邻居，不是在她的洲，甚至不是她的国家的，是她从没见过的人。
Davinia's impact started a few years ago when she reached out（伸出 试图沟通） to all of her friends on facebook.
Davinia的影响力始于几年前她在Facebook上跟所有的朋友们沟通时。
and asked them to donate their pennies so she could fund girls' education.
请求他们捐献出自己的便士， 这样她就能够为女孩们的教育提供资金。
She wasn't expecting a huge response, but 700, 000 pennies later, she's now sent over 120 girls to school.
她本没有期待多大的回应。但在收到700,000便士后，现在她已经资助了超过120女孩去上学。
When we spoke last week, she told me she's become a little infamous（臭名远扬的 声名狼藉的） at the local bank every time she rocks up with the shopping cart（购物手推车） full of pennies.
Rock up, 非正式-迟到 悄然抵达， 摇滚
我们上周谈话时，她告诉我，在每次她推着推挤如山的满满一购物车便士悄然抵达当地银行时，她就已经变得有点不太受欢迎了，
Now Davinia is not alone, far from it.
现在Davinia不是独自一个人，一点也不。
far from it. 距离远。一点也不，远非如此。
She's part of a growing movement. And there's a name for people like Davinia, global citizens.
她是新兴运动的一部分。而像Davinia这样的人，有一个名字叫“全球/世界公民”
A global citizen is someone who self - identifies first and foremost（最重要的事） not as a number of a state, a tribe or a nation.
世界公民是首先要自我认同，最重要的事，不是以一个洲，一个民族，一个国家成员而自居的人。
But as a member of the human race（人类）,
但是作为人类的一员。
and someone who is prepared to act on（践行 行动） that belief, to tackle（处理 解决） our world's greatest challenges.
然有些人准备好去践行这个信念，去应对这个世界最大的挑战。
Our work is focused on finding, supporting and activating global citizens.
我们的工作聚焦于寻找、帮助和推动世界公民。
They exist in every country and among every demographic（人口统计数据 尤指特定年龄段的人群）.
他们存在于每个国家，每个年龄段。
I want to make the case to you（向你说明情况） today that the world's future depends on global citizens.
我今天想要向你说明情况，世界的未来就仰仗这些世界公民了。
I'm convinced that if we had more global citizens active in our world.
我确信，如果我们这个世界，拥有更多活跃的的世界公民，
then every single one of the major challenges we face- from poverty, climate change, gender inequality, these issues become solvable（可解决的）.
那么我们面临的每个重大挑战，从贫穷、气候变化到性别不平等，这些问题都变得可以解决。
They are ultimately（最终 终归 最基本的根本上） global issues, and they can ultimately only be solved by global citizen demanding global solutions from their leaders.
他们终归是全球问题，最终只能由世界公民（全球公民）请求他们的领袖提供全球决绝方案来解决。
