51
because they can't afford to take off any more time than that.
因為他們再也抽不出比那更長的休假時間了。
52
That's 25 percent of American women.
這佔美國女性的25%。
53
Equally disturbing, women who can afford to take a full 12 weeks often don't because it'll mean incurring a motherhood penalty,
同樣令人不安的是，那些有條件休滿12周產假的女性往往也不會這麼做，因為這意味著要承擔"母職懲罰"。

In my own household, my mother had to choose between a career and raising three children,

56
a choice that left her unpaid and underappreciated as a homemaker because there just wasn't support for both paths.
這個選擇讓她作為家庭主婦得不到報酬，也得不到應有的重視，因為當時根本沒有能同時支援這兩條道路的條件。
57
The memory of being in the city with my dad is
和爸爸一起在那座城市的回憶是
58
a particularly meaningful one since he was the sole breadwinner in our house
這一點尤其意義重大，因為他是我們家唯一的經濟支柱。
59
and my brothers and my time with him was always limited by how much he had to work.

And we were an incredibly privileged family.
而且我們家當時的條件非常優渥。
61

62
The deeper into the issue of paid parental leave I go,
我越是深入探究帶薪育兒假這一問題，
63
the clearer I see the connection between persisting barriers to women's full equality
我越能清晰地認識到，阻礙女性實現完全平等的各種長期存在的壁壘之間的關聯
64
and empowerment and the need to redefine and in some cases de-stigmatize men's roles as caregivers.
以及賦權，還有重新定義、在某些情況下消除男性作為照顧者所面臨的汙名的必要性。
65
In other words, in order to liberate women,
換句話說，為了解放婦女，
66
we need to liberate men.
我們需要解放男性。
67
The assumption and common practice that women and girls look after the home
認為女性和女孩應當操持家務的普遍觀念與慣例
68
and the family is a stubborn and very real stereotype that not only discriminates against women,
家庭是一個根深蒂固且極其真實的刻板印象，它不僅歧視女性，
69
but It limits men's participation and connection within the family and society.
但這會限制男性在家庭與社會中的參與度及聯結感。
70
These limitations have broad ranging and significant effects for them and for the children.
71
We know this.
72
So why do we continue to undervalue fathers and overburden mothers?
73
Paid parental leave is not about taking days off work.
74
It's about creating the freedom to define roles,
75
to choose how to invest time and to establish new positive cycles of behavior.
76
Companies that have offered paid parental leave for employees have reported improved employee retention,
77
reduced absenteeism and training costs,
78
and boosted productivity and morale.
79
Far from not being able to afford to have paid parental leave,
80
it seems we can't afford not to.
81
In fact, a study in Sweden showed that for every month fathers took paternity leave,
82
the mother's income increased by 6.7%.
83
That's 6.7% more economic freedom for the whole family.
84
Data from the International Men and Gender Equality Survey shows
85
that most fathers report that they would work less if it meant that they could spend more time with their children.
86
And picking up on the thread that the Prime Minister mentioned,
87
I'd like to ask, how many of us here today saw our dads enough growing up?
88
How many of you dads here see your kids enough now?
89
We need to help each other if we are going to grow.
90
Along with UN Women, I am issuing a call to action for countries,
91
companies, and institutions globally to step up and become champions for paid parental leave.
92
In 2013, provisions for paid parental leave were in only 66 countries out of 190 UN member states.
93
I look forward to beginning with the UN itself,
94
which has not yet achieved parity,
95
and whose paid parental leave policies are currently up for review.
96
Oh, you're going to see a lot of me.
97
Let us lead by example in creating a world in
98
which women and men are not economically punished for wanting to be parents.
99
I don't mean to imply that you need to have children to care about and benefit from this issue.
100
Whether or not you have or want kids,
101
you will benefit by living in a more evolved world with policies not based on gender.
102
We all benefit from living in a more compassionate time where our needs do not make us weak.
103
They make us fully human.
104
Maternity leave or any workplace policy based on gender can,
105
at this moment in history,
106
only ever be a gilded cage.
107
Though it was created to make life easier for women,
108
we now know it creates a perception of women as being inconvenient to the workplace.
109
We now know it chains men to an emotionally limited path,
110
and it cannot, by definition,
111
serve the reality of a world in which there is more than one type of family.
112
Because in the modern world,
113
some families have two daddies.
114
How exactly does maternity leave serve them?
115
Today, on International Women's Day,
116
I would like to thank all of those who went before in creating our current policies.
117
Let us honor them and build upon what they started by shifting our language
118
and therefore our consciousness away from gender and towards opportunity.
119
Let us honor our own parent sacrifice by creating a path for a more fair,
120
farther reaching truth to define all of our lives,
121
especially the lives of our children.
122
Because paid parental leave does more than give more time for parents to spend with their kids.
123
It changes the story of what children observe and will from themselves imagine possible.
124
I see cause for hope.
125
In my own country, the United States,
126
currently the only high-income country in the world without paid maternity,
127
let alone parental leave.
128
Great work has begun in the states of New York,
129
California, New Jersey, Rhode Island,
130
and Washington, which are currently all implementing paid parental leave programs.
131
First Lady Shirlane McRae
132
and Mayor Bill de Blasio have granted paid parental leave to over 20,000 government employees in New York City.
133
We can do this.
134
Bringing about change cannot just be the responsibility of those who need it most.
135
We must have the support of those in the highest levels of power if we are ever to achieve parity.
136
That is why it's such an honor to recognize and congratulate pioneers of paid parental leave like the global company Danone.
137
Today I am proud to announce Danone Global CEO,
138
Emmanuel Faber, as our inaugural he for She thematic champion for paid parental leave.
139
As part of this announcement,
140
Danone will implement a global,
141
18 weeks, gender neutral, paid parental leave policy for the company's 100,000 employees by the year 2020.
142
Monsieur Faber, when Ambassador Emma Watson delivered her now iconic he for she speech
143
and stated that if we live in a world where men occupy a majority of positions of power,
144
we need men to believe in the necessity of change,
145
I believe she was speaking about visionaries like you.
146
Merci.
147
Imagine what the world could look like one generation from now.
148
If a policy like Danone's becomes the new standard,
149
if 100,000 people become 100 million,
150
a billion, more, every generation must find their north.
151
When women around the world demanded the right to vote,
152
we took a fundamental step towards equality, north.
153
When same-sex marriage was passed in the U.S.,
154
we put an end to a discriminatory law, north.
155
When millions of men and boys and prime ministers and deputy directors of the UN,
156
sorry, the president of the General Assembly,
157
that's what happens when I go off script.
158
When men, like the men in this room and around the world,
159
the ones we cannot see,
160
the ones who support us in ways we cannot know but we feel.
161
When they answered Emma Watson's call to be he for she, the world grew.
162
North.
163
we must ask ourselves, how will we be more tomorrow than we are today?
164
The whole world grows when people like you and me take a stand
165
because we know that beyond the idea of how men and women are different,
166
there is a deeper truth,
167
that love is love, and parents are parents.
168
Thank you.

[BẢN DỊCH] Bài phát biểu của Đại sứ Đỗ Hùng Việt tại sự kiện “Women Breaking Barriers”
Business EnglishUniversity StudentsWorking Adults
為什麼要用這段影片練習口說？
安海瑟薇在聯合國的演講不僅是針對性別平權的一次感性表達，還為我們提供了豐富的口語練習機會。在這段演講中，她以自己成為母親的經歷作為切入點，深入探討了育兒的責任和女性面臨的挑戰。透過觀看這種具啟發性和情感聯絡的內容，學習者可以從中提升自己的英語發音，並訓練用語言表達複雜情感的能力。這不僅有助於改善聽力理解，也讓口說練習變得更加生動有趣。另一方面，透過看YouTube學英語，學習者能夠接觸到不同的口音和用語，並模仿演講者的語調和節奏，這不僅提高了口語能力，也增強了文化理解。
語法與表達在上下文中的應用
- 擁有的經歷：安海瑟薇提到了"當我還是小孩時，我的父親培養了我的方向感"，這句話引入了過去時的用法，幫助學習者理解如何描述過去的事件。
- 感受的變化：她說到“我感受到我的優先事項在細胞層面上改變”，這裡運用了當代簡單過去時，表達情感的轉變。
- 依賴關係：短語“完全依賴我的丈夫和我”展示了在描述依賴關係時的常用結構，加深了對英語日常用語的理解。
這些語法結構不僅豐富了演講內容，還能在學習者的口說練習中起到積極的推動作用。
常見的發音陷阱
在這段演講中，有一些單詞和短語對學習者的發音挑戰較大。特別是“maternity leave”（產假）和“dependent”（依賴），這些詞彙在英美語音中可能會因口音不同而有所變化。因此，在英語影子跟讀的練習過程中，學習者應特別注意尾音和重音位置，以達到真正的提高效果。此外，在shadowing site上反覆練習，可以有效幫助改善這些發音問題。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was struck · are entitled · were expected |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | has come · has been · have offered |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | women who can · those who went · Washington, which are |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
