0:15.25 – 0:30.28 (15.0s)
3
We would then get onto the subway together and, when we surfaced, he would ask me “Which way is north?" I wasn’t very good at finding North at the beginning, but I auditioned fair amount and so my Dad kept asking “Which way is north?" Over time, I got better at finding it.

I was struck by that memory yesterday while boarding the plane to come here.

I remember the indescribable—and as I understand a pretty universal — experience of holding my week-old son and feeling my priorities change on a cellular level.

I remember I experienced a shift in consciousness that gave me the ability to maintain my love of career and cherish something else, someone else, so much, much more.
1:36.79 – 1:49.91 (13.1s)
11
Like so many parents, I wondered how I was going to balance my work with my new role as a parent, and in that moment, I remember that the statistic for the US’s policy on maternity leave flashed in my mind.
1:49.91 – 2:04.08 (14.2s)
12
American women are currently entitled to 12 weeks’ unpaid leave.
2:04.08 – 2:08.60 (4.5s)

19
I remember thinking to myself, “If the practical reality of pregnancy is another mouth to feed in your home and America is a country where most people are living paycheck to paycheck, how does 12 weeks unpaid leave economically work?” The truth is, for too many people it doesn’t.
2:47.78 – 3:05.93 (18.2s)
20
One in four American women go back to work two weeks after giving birth because they can’t afford to take any more time off than that.
3:05.93 – 3:14.15 (8.2s)
21
That’s 25 per cent of American women.
3:14.15 – 3:18.02 (3.9s)
22
Equally disturbing, women who can afford to take the full 12 weeks often don’t because it will mean incurring a “motherhood penalty”— meaning they will be perceived as less dedicated to their job and will be passed over for promotions and other career advancement.
3:18.02 – 3:32.40 (14.4s)
23
In my own household, my mother had to choose between a career and raising three children - a choice that left her unpaid and underappreciated as a homemaker - because there just wasn’t support for both paths.

3:57.33 – 4:05.37 (8.0s)
26
The deeper into the issue of paid parental leave I go, the clearer I see the connection between persisting barriers to women’s full equality and empowerment, and the need to redefine and in some cases, destigmatize men’s role as caregivers.
4:05.37 – 4:22.44 (17.1s)
27
In other words, in order to liberate women, we need to liberate men.
4:22.44 – 4:34.52 (12.1s)
28
The assumption and common practice that women and girls look after the home and the family is a stubborn and very real stereotype that not only discriminates against women, but limits men’s participation and connection within the family and society.
4:34.52 – 4:50.65 (16.1s)
29
These limitations have broad-ranging and significant effects, for them and for children.
4:50.65 – 4:55.68 (5.0s)
30
We know this.
4:55.68 – 4:57.40 (1.7s)
31
So why do we continue to undervalue fathers and overburden mothers?
4:57.40 – 5:04.14 (6.7s)

35
In fact, a study in Sweden showed that every month fathers took paternity leave, the mothers’ income increased by 6.7 per cent.
5:35.10 – 5:43.13 (8.0s)
36
That’s 6.7 per cent more economic freedom for the whole family.
5:43.13 – 5:47.26 (4.1s)
37
Data from the International Men and Gender Equality Survey shows that most fathers report that they would work less if it meant that they could spend more time with their children.
5:47.26 – 5:57.62 (10.4s)
38
And picking up on the thread that the prime minister mentioned I'd like to ask: How many of us here today saw our Dads enough growing up?
5:57.62 – 6:07.65 (10.0s)
39
How many of you Dads here see your kids enough now?
6:07.65 – 6:12.71 (5.1s)

6:12.71 – 6:25.89 (13.2s)

43
I look forward to beginning with the UN itself which has not yet achieved parity and who's paid parental leave policies are currently up for review.
6:45.27 – 6:54.55 (9.3s)
44
All you're going to see a lot of me.
6:54.55 – 7:00.06 (5.5s)
45
Let us lead by example in creating a world in which women and men are not economically punished for wanting to be parents.
7:00.06 – 7:09.17 (9.1s)
46
I don't mean to imply that you need to have children to care about and benefit from this issue — whether or not you have — or want kids, you will benefit by living in a more evolved world with policies not based on gender.
7:09.17 – 7:24.78 (15.6s)
47
We all benefit from living in a more compassionate time where our needs do not make us weak, they make us fully human.
7:24.78 – 7:33.84 (9.1s)
48

7:51.28 – 7:56.16 (4.9s)

52
Because in the modern world, some families have two daddies.
8:03.27 – 8:07.55 (4.3s)

How exactly does maternity leave serve them?
8:07.55 – 8:14.57 (7.0s)
54
Today, on International Women’s Day, I would like to thank all those who went before in creating our current policies—let us honour them and build upon what they started by shifting our language - and therefore our consciousness—away from gender and towards opportunity.
8:14.57 – 8:37.61 (23.0s)
55
Let us honor our own parents sacrifice by creating a path for a more fair, farther the reaching truth to define all of our lives, especially the lives our children.
8:37.61 – 8:49.57 (12.0s)
56
Because paid parental leave does more than give more time for parents to spend with their kids.
8:49.57 – 8:56.23 (6.7s)
57
It changes the story of what children observe, and will from themselves imagine possible.
8:56.23 – 9:03.32 (7.1s)
58
I see cause for hope.
9:03.32 – 9:05.37 (2.0s)

9:37.44 – 9:39.60 (2.2s)
62
Bringing about change cannot just be the responsibility of those who need it most; we must have the support of those at the highest levels of power if we are ever to achieve parity.
9:39.60 – 9:50.04 (10.4s)
63
That is why it is such an honor to recognize and congratulate pioneers of paid parental leave like the global company Danone.
9:50.04 – 9:58.21 (8.2s)
64
Today I am proud to announce Danone Global CEO, Emmanuel Faber as our inaugural HeForShe Thematic Champion for Paid Parental Leave.
9:58.21 – 10:08.33 (10.1s)
65
As part of this announcement, Danone will implement a global 18 weeks gender-neutral paid parental leave policy for the company’s 100,000 employees by the year 2020.
10:08.33 – 10:28.01 (19.7s)
66
Monsieur Faber, when Ambassador Emma Watson delivered her now iconic HeForShe speech and stated that if we live in a world where men occupy a majority of positions of power, we need men to believe in the necessity of change, I believe she was speaking about visionaries like you.
10:28.01 – 10:46.58 (18.6s)

If 100,000 people become 100 million.

71
When women around the world demanded the right to vote, we took a fundamental step toward equality.
11:07.91 – 11:14.28 (6.4s)

North. When the same sex marriage was passed in the US, we put an end to a discriminatory law.
11:14.28 – 11:20.62 (6.3s)
73
North. When millions of men and boys when millions of men and boys and prime ministers and deputy directors of the UN, sorry, the president of the General Assembly.
11:20.62 – 11:31.63 (11.0s)
74
That's what happens when I go out of the script.
11:31.63 – 11:37.04 (5.4s)
75
When men like the men in this room and around the world.
11:37.04 – 11:39.66 (2.6s)
76
The ones we cannot see.
11:39.66 – 11:40.82 (1.2s)
77
The ones who support us in ways we cannot know but we feel.
11:40.82 – 11:45.05 (4.2s)
78
When they answered Emma Watson’s call to be HeForShe, the world grew.
11:45.05 – 11:50.67 (5.6s)
79
North. We must ask ourselves, how will we be more tomorrow than we are today?
11:50.67 – 11:58.54 (7.9s)
80
The whole world grows when people like you and me take a stand because we know that beyond the idea of how women and men are different, there is a deeper truth that love is love, and parents are parents.
11:58.54 – 12:23.71 (25.2s)
81
Thank you.
12:23.71 – 12:43.28 (19.6s)
背景与辞境
在这段演讲中，安妮·海瑟薇（Anne Hathaway）分享了她个人的成长故事以及作为母亲的经历。她强调了育儿与工作之间的平衡，尤其是在缺乏带薪家庭假期政策的情况下。通过她与父亲的回忆，她引入了关于父母角色、性别平等与经济压力的讨论。这段谈话不仅揭示了个人的历程，也反映了更广泛的社会问题，突显出支持带薪家庭假期的重要性，这是现代社会所需解决的关键议题。

逐步影子跟随指南
学习英语口语时，使用shadow speech（影子跟随）是一种非常有效的方法。以下是如何充分利用这段演讲进行练习的步骤：
- 初次观看：先观看演讲一次，重点关注演讲者的声音、语调和表达方式。
- 逐句模仿：暂停视频，重复每一句话，尽量模仿发音和语调。这一步骤帮助你提高发音的准确性。
- 理理解内容：在重复的同时，试着理解短语的意思，确保能够在日常对话中使用这些表达。
- 联想场景：将所学短语与自己的生活经验关联起，记住这些表达在何种情况下使用。
- 记录进步：定期回顾自己的发音和表述，寻找可以改善的地方。尝试在社交场合中自然使用这些短语。
通过这样的英语口语练习，你不仅能够提高自己的发音，还能增强自信心。利用这些技巧，让你的口语水平更上一层楼，成为更流利的英语使用者！
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式：
- 等待模式：选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择手动。 - 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式：选择
- 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
