斯嘉丽·约翰逊即将携新作《攻壳机动队》(Ghost in the Shell)(4月7日内地上映)登上大荧幕,“寡姐”此次饰演生化人,势必又将圈粉无数。其实,斯嘉丽·约翰逊从屏幕里帅到了屏幕外——她在2017年女性大游行(Women's March)中就曾为美国Planned Parenthood发声,直接对美国总统特朗普喊话:我没有为你投票,请尊重关注女性身体健康的组织,保护女性的基本健康权益。趁着电影就要上映,让我们一起来回顾一下这场演讲吧。

Planned Parenthood is one of the nation's leading providers of high-quality, affordable health care for women, men, and young people, and the nation's largest provider of sex education.Planned Parenthood also works with partner organizations worldwide to improve the sexual health and well-being of individuals and families everywhere.(https://www.plannedparenthood.org)

Planned Parenthood是为成年男女及年轻人提供高质优价的卫生保健服务机构之一,也是美国最大的性教育提供者。Planned Parenthood与世界四面八方伙伴组织共同协作,致力于提高个人性健康和家庭幸福水平。

Have you been to the gynaecologist yet? That was the question my mum asked me at 15 when I informed her about changes that I've noticed in my body.

“你去看妇科医生了吗?”——这是我15岁时,我告诉我的母亲自己身体发生了一些变化的时候,她问我的一句话。

2017年1月21日,斯嘉丽·约翰逊在华盛顿Women's March现场发表演讲。

Now, I'd like to start off by saying I am not by nature a particularly private person.But by profession, I am extremely private.I'm not the type to divulge facts about my personal life, I'm fiercely protective of my family and I have no social media presence.

首先,我想说明,我并不是一个天生就特别注重隐私的人。不过对于职业而言,我是极其注重隐私的。我不是那种喜欢透露自己私生活的人,我很注重保护家人的隐私,我不是社交媒体红人。

But I feel that in the face of this current political climate, it is vital that we all make it our mission to get really, really personal.So yes, at 15 I had been to a psychologist.I was living in New York City and had visited a Planned Parenthood there.

但是我认为,面对当前的政治局面,我们都应该把关心很私人、很私人的事情作为我们的使命,这是至关重要的。没错,我在15岁的时候就去看了妇科医生。那时候我在纽约,去了那里的Planned Parenthood。

My mother moved to California a few years before my brother Hunter and I were living with my father.At 15, I've been working in the entertainment industry for 8 or so years and had been fortunate enough to be eligible for private health insurance through my Union.

在我母亲搬去加州之后几年,我和弟弟亨特跟着父亲一起生活。15岁的我已经在娱乐圈打拼了差不多8年,也幸运地通过工会有资格参加了个人健康保险。

Our family struggled financially.We've been on public assistance for several years, and I was primarily responsible for making my own doctor's appointments.

But still, I was nervous about taking this next stride towards womanhood, and it was actually my clinician at Planned Parenthood who suggested I speak with my paediatrician if I was seeking a referral.She was compassionate and professional, and told me that she was happy to treat me for regular check-ups.And when the time came for STD and cancer screenings, no judgment, no questions asked.Planned Parenthood provided a safe place where I could be treated with gentle guidance.

我们家过去经济紧张,接受了多年的公共保障金。我基本都是自己预约看医生。尽管这样,我还是对长大变成成年女人感到紧张。事实上,正是我在Planned Parenthood的临床医师建议我,如果想寻求帮助的话,应该去看看儿科医生。她和善又专业,告诉我乐意为我做定期检查。当我要做性病和癌症检查的时候,没有偏见,没有问任何多余的问题。Planned Parenthood是一个非常有安全感的地方,提供了悉心呵护。

I may have been at 15 and surprisingly self-sufficient, but I'm sure there isn't one person here who has not been helped by Planned Parenthood directly or otherwise.When I knew I was coming to speak on behalf of women's reproductive health issues, every single one of my girlfriends had a story about Planned Parenthood.

我也许在15岁的时候就把自己打理地井井有条了。但我相信在座的各位都曾接受过Planned Parenthood直接或间接的帮助。当我得知将要就女性生殖健康问题进行代表发言时,我的每一位女性朋友都有一个关于Planned Parenthood的故事。

“They saved me so many times”, one of my best girlfriends confided in me, saying “they saved my ass and some other parts, too”.When I found out I had precancerous signs, “I never would have known about without my annual check-ups”, and her speech grew more emphatic and emotional, as she described how the organisation had helped her decide between treatment options.She was able to make some difficult decisions deciding what was right for her, for her body and her then partner without anyone else's interference.

“他们一次又一次救了我”,我最好的一位女性朋友如是对我衷诉,“他们拯救了我,彻头彻尾。他们发觉了我癌症征兆,如果不接受每年的体检,我不可能发现这个问题。”她越说越激动,还告诉我,这个组织帮助她选择合适的治疗方式。在此帮助下,她得以做出一些艰难的决定,不受任何人干涉地做出了对她自己、自己的身体和那时的伴侣最好的选择。

My sister also used Planned Parenthood services for years after removing states.She's been living in a whole life in New York City, pursuing her own dream, moved to California.She had no contacts and no health insurance but was able to regularly see a doctor at a Planned Parenthood clinic, for screening, advice birth control and check-ups.

我的姐妹搬到新的州之后也享受了多年Planned Parenthood的服务。此前她在纽约生活,来到加州追梦。她无依无靠,没有健康保险,不过得以在Planned Parenthood诊所接受拍片检查,得到避孕建议和体检。

For the more than 2.5 million patients a year that rely on Planned Parenthood services for cancer and STD screenings, birth control, safe abortion and pregnancy planning, This is an uncertain anxious time.Lawmakers in 24 states have tried to block patients from receiving care at Planned Parenthood.Congress has voted to limit access to reproductive services 9 times.

每年有逾250万病人接受Planned Parenthood的癌症和性病筛查、避孕、安全堕胎、计划受孕服务。如今,对于他们来说,这是一个充满焦虑和不确定因素的时刻。24个州立法者已经在试着阻碍病人接受Planned Parenthood的服务和治疗,国会进行了9次投票,限制生育服务。

Boo! Yes, Boo! There are very real and devastating consequences to limiting access to what should be considered basic health care.For millions of Americans, Planned Parenthood is often the only trustworthy and affordable clinic providing safe education, sex education, safe abortion and life-saving services.

抗议!没错,抗议!这些都是基本的医疗服务,限制将会带来切实且灾难性的后果。对于数百万美国人而言,Planned Parenthood是唯一值得信任并且负担得起的诊所了。它提供了安全教育、性教育、安全堕胎和关乎性命的医疗服务。

President Trump, I did not vote for you! That said, I respect that you are our president-elect and I want to be able to support you.But first, I ask that you support me.Support my sister, support my mother, support my best friend and all of our girlfriends.Support the men and women here today that are anxiously waiting to see how your next moves may drastically affect their lives.

特朗普总统,我没有为你投票。尽管如此,我还是尊重你已经是我们国家当选的总统了。我希望自己可以给你支持,但是首先,我请求你支持我。支持我的姐妹、母亲、好友和所有的女性朋友。支持今天到场的所有男性和女性,每个人都为你下一步的政策将会如何翻天覆地地影响他们的生活感到担忧。

Support my daughter, who may actually as a result of the appointments you have made grow up in a country that is moving backwards, not forwards, and who may potentially not have the right to make choices for her body and her future that your daughter Ivanka has been privileged to have.

支持我的女儿,她的生活可能因为你的决策而受到直接的影响,她可能会生活在一个倒退、而非前进的国家,她可能没有权利去为自己的身体、自己的未来做出选择——你的女儿伊万卡一直享有的那些选择。

I ask you to support all women and our fight for equality in all things, including the fight to be recognised as individuals who know better for ourselves, what is right for our bodies, better than any elected official popular or otherwise.

我请你支持所有的女性和我们为平等而进行的所有斗争,包括我们为个体权利所做的斗争。我们更了解自己,知道什么对我们的身体健康最好,比任何选举出来的官员都了解,不论是获得票数多的还是其他的。

It is a great honour for me to be speaking here in front of all of you today.After the result of this November's election.I felt as a woman, as an American citizen, a great weight bearing down on my shoulders.The feeling that the near future would present many obstacles, confrontation and division.My immediate thought after hearing the election results was, oh man, we have so much work to do.

很荣幸今天站在这里,在你们面前发言。在11月竞选结果出来以后,作为一名女性、一名美国公民,我感觉肩上的担子重了很多,感觉不久的将来可能会出现许多困难、冲突和分歧。在听到选举结果的那一刻,我的第一反应是,我的天,我们任重而道远。

But once the heaviness began to subside, I realised that an opportunity has presented itself to make a real long-term change, not just for future Americans, but in the way that we view our responsibilities to get involved with and stay active in our communities.Let this weight not drag you down, but help to get your heels stuck in.

不过当心头的阴霾逐渐消散,我认识到,机会自己出现了,我们可以做出切实而长远的改变,这不仅仅是为了未来的美国人,改变也将发生在我们如何看待积极投身社群的责任。不要被这一重担压垮,要站稳脚跟。

I pledge my relentless devotion to support women's healthcare initiatives.I will not stop fighting to make basic women's health care available to all.I believe with every fibre of my being that the conversation that we have with our partners and our doctors about what we do with our bodies in our future should not be made fodder for any politician, political agenda, lawmaker and for-profit corporation.

我承诺在支持女性医疗主动权的事业里不懈奋斗,在为所有女性提供基本医疗条件的事业上不懈奋斗。我完全坚信,与伴侣、医生进行的关于如何对待我们身体未来的决定,不应该被任何政治家、政治议程、立法者、营利性组织左右。

We must stand up for what are our basic human rights and always move forward, never backwards.The current political administration benefits from taking the power away from us.Don't give up your power! Don't! Don't let the feelings of helplessness make you complacent.I urge you all to make a difference on the ground – Volunteer! Volunteer with organisations that help women seeking a safe place to make some of the most difficult decisions of their lives, donate to cause this.

我们一定要站起来,捍卫基本人权,永远前进,绝不后退。当前政府部门从剥夺我们的权利中受益,不要放弃你的权利!不要让无助的感觉把你束缚,我恳请大家脚踏实地做出一些改变——去做志愿者吧!志愿加入帮助女性寻找安全的组织,帮助她们做出生命中一些最艰难的选择,为这项事业捐款。
