| 794 | a university that claims to be an anti-colonial one? | 一个自称反殖民的大学? |
| 795 | Do you think someone goes there just to get expelled? | 你觉得有人去那里只是为了被开除吗? |
| 796 | In the last few years, youth activism has been seen as less just because of the age. | 在过去几年中,青年积极性被认为因年龄而减少。 |

| 809 | Madam President, thank you for giving me the honor to speak today. | 主席女士,谢谢你让我今天发言。 |
| 810 | To everyone in this house, don't worry. | 对这房子里的所有人来说 别担心 |
| 811 | I won't say anything too controversial. | 我不会说太多争议 |
| 812 | Firstly, I must state that as someone who has studied geography for most of her life, | 首先,我必须说,作为一个研究地理的人 她的大部分时间, |
| 813 | it may come across as slightly ironic that I'm going to discuss how performative youth activism is. | 可能有点讽刺的是,我要去讨论 如何表现青年活动。 |
| 814 | I vividly remember when I myself was part of a walkout at the age of 15. | 我生动地记得我15岁时就参加过散步 |
| 815 | Being in year 10 and knowing full well that our GCSEs were in exactly a year's time, | 10年级时 完全知道 我们的普通教育学院 正好在一年的时间里 |
| 816 | we probably shouldn't have done this during our math lesson. | 我们也许不该在数学课上这样 |
| 817 | But we did so that because during this time, | 但我们这样做是因为在这期间 |
| 818 | Extinction Rebellion是英国最大的气候活动团体. | |
| 819 | They were a powerhouse for youth activism, | 他们是青年运动的动力所在 |
| 820 | encouraging thousands of students to skip school to demonstrate on the streets of central London. | 鼓励数以千计的学生跳过学校,在伦敦市中心的街道上示威. |
| 821 | To us, as young people at my school, | 作为我学校的年轻人, |

| 825 | We were all given detentions. | 我们都被拘留了 |
| 826 | I guess it was worth it. | 我想这是值得的。 |
| 827 | We were 15. | 我们才15岁 |
| 828 | We used detentions to revise. | 我们用拘留来修正 |
| 829 | The purpose of this debate is not to discourage activism itself, | 这场辩论的目的不是要阻止活动本身, |
| 830 | nor is it to dissuade young people from standing firmly in what they believe in, | 也不劝阻青年人坚忍, |
| 831 | whether it be by posting on social media, quietly marching down the streets of Trafalgar Square, | 是否通过在社交媒体上发布, 悄悄地游行在特拉法尔加广场的街道上, |
| 832 | or gluing themselves down to roads. | 或把自己拖到路边 |
| 833 | But it is to dissect the way that young people do their activism. | 但是,这是要解析年轻人从事活动的方式。 |
| 834 | Why is it performative rather than truly active? | 为什么它不是真正活跃,而是具有表现力? |
| 835 | The opposition has framed and implied that performatism can be fake, hypocritical and selfish, | 反对派陷害并暗示 表演主义可以是假的,伪善的和自私的, |
| 836 | stating that these adjectives do not describe the likes of youth activism, | 指出这些形容词没有描述青年积极性, |
| 837 | which on the surface may be true. | 在表面上可能是真实的。 |
| 838 | But we need to take a more nuanced approach to defining what performatism is, | 但我们需要采取一种更细致的方法来定义什么是表演主义, |
| 839 | especially around the context of activism. | 特别是在行动主义的背景下。 |
| 840 | We cannot state that young people are being hypocritical and selfish | 我们不能说年轻人是虚伪和自私的 |
| 841 | as they protest and bring attention to the fact that they will be the ones taking the brunt | 因为他们抗议并提请注意,他们是首当其冲的; |
| 842 | of poor government policy to tackle rising rates of pollution, | 处理污染率上升的政府政策不佳, |
| 843 | or that water will become so scarce that it will cost the lives of millions of children | 或者水会变得如此稀少 以致数百万儿童丧生 |
| 844 | in developing nations, while corporations continue to externalise environmental costs | 公司继续将环境成本外部化 |
| 845 | onto vulnerable communities. | 在脆弱社区。 |
| 846 | The argument is that performative activism is primarily oriented towards being seen holding a position, | 理由是,表现性行动的主要方向是被看成是持有一种立场, |
| 847 | rather than materially or physically changing conditions. | 而不是物质或物理条件的变化。 |
| 848 | It prioritises visibility and moral display over sustained structural engagement. | 它把能见度和道德表现放在持续的结构参与之上。 |
| 849 | Youth activists may be sincere in what they are protesting. | 青年活动家在抗议时可能很真诚。 |
| 850 | They may care deeply about what they are fighting for. | 他们可能非常关心他们为什么而战。 |
| 851 | And yes, some of their movements may achieve things. | 是的,他们的一些运动 可能实现的东西。 |
| 852 | If it wasn't for my persistence and slight stubbornness during my time as head girl during sixth form, | 如果不是我在六年级的时候 坚持不懈和轻度固执 |
| 853 | my school wouldn't have invested in recycling bins and proper waste bins, | 我的学校不会投资回收 垃圾箱和适当的垃圾箱, |
| 854 | something so small, yet which its ignorance has dire consequences on certain habitats across the world. | 它的无知对全世界某些栖息地造成严重后果。 |
| 855 | The point is that primary logic driving activism is performance. | 要点是,主要的逻辑驱动活动是表现。 |
| 856 | So, using this definition, activism is more of a spatial performance. | 因此,使用这个定义, 活动性更是一种空间性能。 |
| 857 | Don't worry, I won't bore you with elements of my degree, although I could talk about geography all day long. | 别担心,我不会让你厌烦我的学位, 虽然我可以整天谈论地理问题。 |
| 858 | But it is important to understand that activism is all about visibility in space. | 但重要的是要明白,行动主义完全在于在空间中的能见度。 |
| 859 | The more evident it is online or in person affects how it is received by the people involved or watching. | 越明显地是在线或亲自影响所涉或观看者如何接受。 |
| 860 | Even more so, young people use social media platforms to spread their ideology and opinions. | 更有甚者,年轻人利用社交媒体平台传播他们的意识形态和意见. |
| 861 | Think of it as Instagram or TikTok live streams, Twitter slash ex reposts, even the spread of mass media via WhatsApp. | 推特在推特上连连大众传媒通过WhatsApp的传播, |
| 862 | I know everyone has probably received something from their aunt or uncle. | 我知道每个人都可能收到 从他们的姑姑或叔叔的东西。 |
| 863 | All these mediums are used to gain popularity and support. | 所有这些媒介都被用来获得欢迎和支持。 |
| 864 | They are not bad to use, but for what purpose? | 它们使用不坏,但出于什么目的? |
| 865 | Yes, it encourages demonstrations and the freedom of expression. | 是的,它鼓励示威和言论自由。 |
| 866 | But while such demonstrations can generate visibility and urgency, | 但是,虽然这种示威可以产生可见度和紧迫性, |
| 867 | they often struggle to translate the visibility into durable legislative change. | 他们往往努力将知名度转化为持久的立法改革。 |
| 868 | For example, one could argue that organising a blockade on Downing Street or Whitehall | 例如,人们可以争辩说,组织封锁唐宁街或怀特霍尔街。 |
| 869 | as a form of protest against the lack of widely acceptable long-term environmental policy is ultimately ineffective. | 作为抗议缺乏广泛接受的长期环境政策的一种形式,最终是无效的。 |
| 870 | If it obstructs the very people capable of implementing that change. | 如果它阻碍有能力实施这一变革的人。 |
| 871 | You see, although the activism is honourable, it stands as performative. | 你瞧,尽管这个活动是光荣的,但它是表现的。 |
| 872 | A showy display of the lengths humanity is willing to go to, all to prove a point. | 展示人类愿意去的长度 都是为了证明一点 |
| 873 | These kinds of activism gains popularity online, not in parliament. | 此类活动在网络上, |
| 874 | Social media rewards activism with immediate likes and comments | 社会媒体以即时的喜好和评论奖励活动家。 |
| 875 | outraged from those who disagree with a particular form of activism. | 对那些不同意某种特定形式活动的人感到愤怒。 |
| 876 | And for the leaders and founders of these demonstrations, a large following. | 对于这些示威游行的领导人和发起者来说, 是一个巨大的追随者。 |
| 877 | None of this helps with what really needs to change, the policy that reflects different activisms. | 这些都无助于真正需要改变的政策, |
| 878 | Yes, it may bring politicians out to respond in light of what is happening at that current point of time, | 是的,这可能会让政治家们根据当前时刻发生的情况作出反应, |
| 879 | but it is not productive in the long term. | 但从长远来看,它没有成效。 |
| 880 | And even though this is not a social media debate, | 尽管这不是社交媒体的辩论 |
| 881 | youth activism is either downplayed or exacerbated by the use of social media. | 使用社交媒体, |
| 882 | It is the largest spatial network for young people today. | 它是目前年轻人最大的空间网络。 |
| 883 | It is where most of our generation give or receive news. | 这是我们这一代人大部分人提供或接收新闻的地方。 |
| 884 | It is very influential in changing the opinions of its users, | 在改变用户观点方面, |
| 885 | but it does not necessarily translate into long-term political change. | 但它不一定转化为长期的政治变革。 |
| 886 | And that's what makes it performative. | 而令其演义. |
| 887 | Ladies and gentlemen, Madam President and her esteemed officers, | 女士们,先生们,主席女士和她尊敬的官员们, |
| 888 | the opposition has asked you tonight to confuse visibility with effectiveness. | 反对派要求你今晚 把能见度和效果混为一谈 |
| 889 | But awareness alone is not political transformation. | 但是,光是认识不是政治变革。 |
| 890 | A movement being viral does not necessarily mean it will be structurally successful. | 病毒运动并不一定意味着它在结构上是成功的。 |
| 891 | It is not that young people are attention seekers. | 并不是青年人是寻求关注的人。 |
| 892 | Young people, including myself, care deeply about our futures. | 年轻人,包括我本人,都深深地关心我们的未来. |
| 893 | Youth activism, like I have said earlier multiple times, is an honorable thing to do. | 正如我先前多次说过的,青年活动是一件光荣的事。 |
| 894 | It highlights that we too have a say in what our government implements into our system, our policy, our law. | 它突出表明,我们也有发言权,我们政府将哪些内容纳入我们的制度、政策和法律。 |
| 895 | We are a generation that is desperate to change the world for the better, | 我们这一代人渴望让世界变得更好, |
| 896 | and we utilize and take advantage of the platforms we've been given. | 我们利用和利用 我们得到的平台。 |
| 897 | But in the age of algorithms, youth activism has only become content, | 但是在算法时代, 青年运动只是变得满足, |
| 898 | and content must first perform. | 内容必须首先实现。 |
| 899 | It must become trendy. | 它必须成为潮流。 |
| 900 | And that is why this House believes that youth activism is primarily performative. | 因此,本院认为,青年积极性主要是表现性的。 |
| 901 | Thank you, Sarah, for that speech. | 谢谢你,莎拉,谢谢你的演讲。 |

| 948 | are truly reshaping the political landscape or merely striving to be seen as doing so. | 正在真正地改变政治格局,或只是努力被视为这样做。 |

| 1041 | What I do propose is this, that those cases are atypical. | 我的建议是,这些案例是非典型的。 |

| 1051 | level of its architecture, not incidentally, to reward visibility above all else. | 其建筑水平,并非偶然地,奖励知名度高于所有其他。 |
| 1052 | Attention is the currency, reaches the metric, emotional immediacy is what gets you paid. | 注意是货币,达到度量, 情感的刻不容缓 是得到你支付。 |
| 1053 | In such a system, the incentive is not to be effective, the incentive is to be seen. | 在这种制度中,奖励是无效的,奖励是可见的。 |

| 1067 | The march, the die-in, the one-day strike, they're not chosen because they're the most | 游行,临终,一日罢课,不获选,因为他们是最伟大的 |
| 1068 | effective route to reform, but because they're the most legible. | 有效的改革路线, 但因为它们是最清晰的。 |

| 1070 | produced them rewards the spectacle, not what comes after. | 创造他们奖励的,不是后来的。 |
| 1071 | This matters because it shapes not what is communicated, but what is done. | 这很重要,因为它塑造的不是所传达的,而是所作所为。 |
| 1072 | Consider the typical act of political engagement available to a young person today. | 想想今天年轻人可以利用的典型的政治参与行为。 |
| 1073 | It is not canvassing. | 它不是画画。 |

| 1087 | And the stakes of this are not abstract. | 这一点的利害关系并不是抽象的。 |
| 1088 | The problems that young people most loudly perform concern about, climate, inequality, | 青年人最关心的问题,气候、不平等、 |

| 1093 | Not because they lacked conviction, not at all, but because the culture has taught them | 不是因为他们缺乏信念 也不是因为文化教育他们 |
| 1094 | that conviction, expressed loudly enough, is sufficient. | 足够大声地表达的信念就足够了。 |
| 1095 | The opposition has pointed to individuals who have produced genuine change. | 反对派指出,一些个人产生了真正的变革。 |
| 1096 | As I said earlier, I commend some of them. | 正如我早些时候所说的那样,我赞扬其中一些建议。 |
| 1097 | Some are perhaps in this very chamber, like I said. | 正如我所说,也许有些人就在这个会议厅里。 |
| 1098 | And they will be right. | 他们会说的对 |
| 1099 | They are right. | 他们说得对。 |
| 1100 | But observe what is true of every such case. | 但观察一切此类情况的真实性。 |
| 1101 | They succeed precisely where activism has moved beyond expression into institutions, | 行动主义已经超越了表达方式, |
| 1102 | into sustained legal and political engagement, into the unglamorous infrastructure | * 持续参与法律和政治,参与不光彩的基础设施 |
| 1103 | of organized reform. | 组织改革。 |

| 1110 | as political change. | 作为政治变革。 |
| 1111 | And there is a less comfortable point. | 还有一个不太舒服的问题。 |

| 1113 | evidence suggests it can reduce the likelihood of acting further. | 有证据表明,它可以减少进一步采取行动的可能性。 |
| 1114 | Awareness that substitutes for engagement is not neutral, it's actively obstructive. | 意识到替代接触不是中立的,是积极阻塞的. |
| 1115 | Perhaps the most sophisticated rebuttal from the opposition is this. | 也许反对派最尖端的反驳就是这一点。 |
| 1116 | Even without immediate policy change, activism shifts culture. | 即使不立即改变政策,行动主义也会改变文化。 |
| 1117 | It moves the boundary of what is thinkable and sayable. | 它移动着可思考和可说的内容的界限。 |
