大家知道在聯合國積極爭取女權的明星是誰嗎？
相信大家應該都不陌生吧，就是飾演哈利波特女主角妙麗的「Emma Watson」。
她在 2016 年聯合國上發表了一則超有名的演說，讓我們來一窺究竟他說了什麼重要的句子吧！
在開始前，「Feminism」是必學的單字喔，意思是「女權主義」，也就是追求「男女平權」的運動。
"It is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals."
我們該將性別視為一個光譜，而非兩個相反的價值觀。
《補充》
spectrum (n.) 系列、範圍 (通常譯為「光譜」)
gender (n.) 性別
"When, at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their sports teams because they didn't want to appear 'muscly;' when, at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings, I decided that I was a feminist."
當我15歲的時候，我的女性朋友們因為不想看起來「肌肉發達」而退出球隊。在我 18歲的時候，我的男性朋友們無法表達他們的感受。在那之後，我成為了女權主義者。
《補充》
drop out (ph.) 脫離、退出
muscly (adj.) 有肌肉的
feminist (n.) 女權主義者
*所謂「女權主義」並不是「女性優於男性」，而是追求「男女平權」!
"It makes me sad to hear girls constantly putting themselves down. We have these unbelievably high expectations of ourselves, when actually we're human beings and our bodies have a function."
聽到女孩們不斷妄自菲薄時，我感到很難過。我們實際上只是區區人類，人體都有其應有的功能，但對我們自己的期望卻總高到令人難以置信。
《補充》
put down (ph.) 批評、奚落
expectation (n.) 期待、預期
有些女孩會不滿意自己的外貌，其實每一個人都是最特別的一朵花，Be confident!
學英文也是如此，之前我也會不敢說英文，覺得很沒勇氣跟外國人聊天，但自從我跟Engoo老師上課過後，我現在都很有自信了呢!
"I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men."
我認為我應該要領到和男性同事相同的薪水。我應該要能為自己的身體做決定。我認為女性應該要有權利代表我，參與會影響我生活的政策決議。我認為在社會上我應該受到與男性一樣的尊重。
《補充》
counterpart (n.) 相像的人、對應的人
on one's behalf (ph.) 代表某人
"I feel like young girls are told that they have to be a princess and fragile. I identify much more with being a warrior — a fighter. If I was going to be a princess, I'd be a warrior princess. Definitely."
對我來說，女孩們似乎都被教導要當一位脆弱的公主。但我覺得自己更像個士兵——是一位戰士。如果我是公主，那我也一定要當會戰鬥的公主。
《補充》
fragile (adj.) 易碎的、脆弱的
identify (+with) 認同
warrior (n.) 武士、鬥士、勇士
"Feminism, by definition, is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes."
從定義上來看，女權是一種信念，追求男女能夠有平等的權利和機會，也是在政治、經濟和社會上的性別平權。
《補充》
Belief (n.) 信念、相信
"I was appointed six 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. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop."
六個月前我受邀成為大使，而隨著我講述女權的次數越多，我就更意識到，爭取女權太常被和討厭男性劃上等號。對此我只知道，這個現象必須停止。
《補充》
appoint (v.) 任命、指派
for certain (ph.) 肯定地
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
各位一定要記得，女權並不是「女性至上」，而是「男女平權」。
讀完這篇文章後，希望大家有更了解女權主義的議題，以及女性的弱勢處境。
