Your excellencies, UN Secretary-General, President of the General Assembly, executive director of UN Women, and distinguished guests.

尊敬的各位阁下，联合国秘书长，联合国大会主席，联合国妇女权能署执行董事以及各位贵宾们。

Today we are launching a campaign called “HeForShe.”

今天，我们发起一项名为“他为她”（HeForShe）的运动。

I am reaching out to you because we need your help.

今天，我站在这里，因为我们需要各位的帮助。

We want to end gender inequality – and to do this we need everyone involved.

我们要终止两性不平等。为此，我们需要所有的人都参与其中。

This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN: we want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.

联合国首次发起这样的活动：试图激励起所有的男性同胞，不论大人还是小孩，都一起来倡导性别平等。

And we don't just want to talk about it, we want to try and make sure that it's tangible.

而且，我们希望这不只是纸上谈兵，我们要确保它是看得见摸得着的。

I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women 6 months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.

六个月前，我被任命为联合国妇女亲善大使。我发现，越多地提及“女权主义”，为女性争取权利就越容易被人们等同于对男性的厌恶。

If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.

但有一件事我非常确信。那就是：这种误解必须马上终止。

For the record, feminism by definition is: “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.

在此，我郑重声明，依据定义，女权主义指的是女性应该拥有和男性同等的权力和机会。

It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.”

该理论是指在政治、经济以及社会上的两性平等。

I started questioning gender-based assumptions a long time ago, when I was eight, I was confused at being called “bossy,” because I wanted to direct the plays that we would put on for our parents—but the boys were not.

很小的时候，我就质疑这种基于性别不同的主观臆断。八岁时，我搞不懂，就因我想在给家长表演的舞台剧中当导演，就会被称之为“霸道”，而男孩子们则不会。

When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the media.

十四岁时，媒体的某些元素就将我性别化。

When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams because they didn't want to appear “muscly” .

十五岁时，我的女性伙伴开始退出她们所热爱的运动小组。因为她们不希望自己变得太过阳刚。
