226Second, I will argue that any effort to keep active politics out of sport would be marred by inherently political judgments and attendantly unworkable.第二,我要指出,任何不让积极政治参与体育运动的努力都将受到固有的政治判断和随之而来的不可行的破坏。
227But before I begin my case in earnest, I need to introduce side proposition and respond to the strays that I caught six minutes ago.但是,在我认真地开始我的案件之前,我需要提出附带建议,并对六分钟前我抓住的流浪者作出反应。

230And as his second paper speech in as many terms reveals, he is clearly deft at flattering all the right people in this place.正如他的第二次纸质演讲所揭示的那样, 他显然对恭维这里所有正确的人很感兴趣。
231However, whether he is as effective at flattering large groups of people very much remains to be seen after last term.然而,他能否有效地向大批民众致意,这在上届之后还有待观察。
232Now, side proposition's next speaker is Noel Mooney, the chief executive of Welsh Football and a former senior official within UEFA.现在,副提案的下一个发言人是诺埃尔·穆尼,他是威尔士足球的首席执行官,也是欧足联内一位前高级官员.
233He is a great patron and promoter of Welsh Football.他是威尔士足球的伟大赞助者和推动者。
234Indeed, he places great importance on Welsh teams, campaigns to qualify for the FIFA World Cup and both the women's and men's teams have seen great success.事实上,他非常重视威尔士队,为获得国际足联世界杯资格而举行的运动,男女队都取得了巨大成功。
235Surprisingly, though, despite Mr Mooney having been a professional football player, we both have something in common when it comes to football.令人惊讶的是,尽管穆尼先生是一名职业足球运动员,但我们在足球方面都有共同之处.
236An impressive career tally of zero professional goals.职业生涯令人印象深刻的零职业进球记录.
237We'll gloss over the fact that he's a goalkeeper for just a moment.我们会掩饰他只是守门员
238The final speaker is Dr Faisal Mushtaq.最后一位发言者是费萨尔·穆什塔克博士。
239He's a professor of cognitive science and the director of the Centre for Immersive Technology at the University of Leeds.他是认知科学的教授和利兹大学记忆技术中心主任.
240He's also the founder of the Immersive Cognition Research Group, which specialises in the study of learning and skill acquisition using virtual environments,他也是Immersive认知研究小组的创始人,该研究小组专门研究利用虚拟环境学习和获得技能,
241which leads me to say I have no clue what he's going to say about politics or sport this evening.这让我觉得 我不知道他今晚会说什么 关于政治或运动
242In all seriousness, and on behalf of the members of this House, we are deeply grateful for your participation in this debate here tonight.我们非常认真地并代表本院成员对你参加今晚这里的辩论深表感谢。
243Madame President, these are your guests and they are most welcome.总统女士,这是你的客人,欢迎他们
244Now, to begin with my first argument, that politics is inseparable from sporting competition and that this dimension, in fact, enriches our relationship with it.现在,从我的第一个论点开始,政治与体育竞赛是不可分割的,事实上,这个层面丰富了我们与体育竞赛的关系.

249He's an African-American athlete from Alabama, standing in the literal heart of a racially organised totalitarian regime.他是来自阿拉巴马州的非裔美国运动员,站在一个种族组织极权主义政权的字面核心.
250His very presence at that moment in time was a political act and he was about to shatter fascist propaganda.他当时在场本身就是政治行为,他即将粉碎法西斯主义的宣传.
251The starting gun fired, the sprinters set off and 10.3 seconds later, over six metres in front of his nearest competition, Owens was victorious.开始射击的枪,短跑者出发,10.3秒后,在他最近的比赛前超过6米,欧文斯获胜.
252This was the start of a truly historic Olympic medals haul, which also saw him win in the long jump, the 200 metre sprint and the four by 100 metre sprint relay.这是一次真正历史性的奥运会奖牌拉力赛的开始,这也使他在长跳,200米短跑和4米100米短跑接力赛中获胜.
253Today, Owens' performance is held up as being symbolic of athletic prowess, regardless of background, triumphing over racial prejudice,今天,欧文斯的表演被认为是运动的象征,无论背景如何,战胜种族偏见,
254and is even read by some as forecasting the triumph of the Allies over the Axis powers in World War II.有人甚至认为 盟军在二战中 战胜轴心国
255Owens' performance in Berlin is symbolic of how politics is inseparable from sporting competition.欧文斯在柏林的表现象征着政治如何与体育竞赛密不可分.
256The act of participation by an athlete or a team is significant and so too is their performance within the context of the broader political moment.运动员或团队的参与行为是重大的,在更广泛的政治时刻,他们的表现也是如此。
257To illustrate my point, and I hope I know my audience well, if England wins a game in the Football World Cup, that's a significant moment.为了说明我的观点,我希望我非常了解我的观众,如果英格兰在足球世界杯上赢得一场比赛,那将是一个重大的时刻.
258But if England wins a World Cup game against France, that's all the more significant indeed.但是,如果英格兰赢得了一场世界杯对阵法国的比赛,这确实更加重要.
259But if England were to win the World Cup against France in France, that would be the holy trinity of achievement indeed.但是如果英格兰在法国对阵法国的世界杯上获胜,那确实是成就的神圣三重性.
260Now, history is replete with iconic sporting moments that had political significance.现在,历史充满了具有政治意义的标志性的体育时刻。
261The United States beating the Soviet Union in men's ice hockey in the epic comeback now described as the miracle on ice.美国击败苏联 在男子冰球 在史诗的回归 现在描述的奇迹 在冰上。
262The Soviet Union, in turn, beating the United States' men's team in basketball in 1972.苏联则在1972年篮球比赛中击败美国男子队.
263A fun fact, the United States men's team never accepted their silver medals and they are held in Switzerland to this day.一个有趣的事实是,美国男子球队从未接受过他们的银牌,他们一直到今天都在瑞士举行.
264Arthur Ashe being the first black man to win a tennis Grand Slam singles title.亚瑟·阿什是第一个赢得网球大赛单曲冠军的黑人.
265Simone Biles overcoming various hardships to return to elite gymnastics and becoming the most decorated gymnast in Olympic history.西蒙娜·比莱斯克服各种困难重返精英体操,成为奥运历史上最装饰的体操运动员.
266And Billie Jean King beating Bobby Riggs 6'4", 6'3", 6'3", in the widely publicised Battle of the Sexes.而比莉·让·金在广为宣传的"性别之战"中击败了鲍比·里格斯6'4,6'3,6'3".
267Sport detached and severed from border political narratives is nearly unimaginable and frankly undesirable.体育脱离和脱离边界政治叙事几乎是难以想象的,坦率地说是不可取的。
268Now, some people in the audience might counter the above and say that I have only pointed to the passive relationship between sports and politics.现在,观众中有些人可能会反驳上述说法,说我只指出了体育与政治之间的被动关系.
269What about the active relationship where athletes and teams raise or speak on political issues?运动员和球队提出或谈论政治问题的积极关系如何?
270To that, I move to my second point, and that is that efforts to keep active politics out of sports will be marred by inherently political judgments and be unworkable.为此,我要谈第二点,那就是,使积极政治退出体育运动的努力将受到内在政治判断的破坏,是行不通的。
271Now, to keep this argument grounded in the practical, let's focus on the process.现在,为了把这一论点建立在实际的基础上,让我们集中关注这一进程。
272Let's imagine an athlete or a team has said or done something deemed to be political in sport.让我们想象一个运动员或者一个球队在运动中曾说过或者做过被认为是政治的东西.
273Perhaps it was a statement in a pre or post game media conference or an act on the playing field or the wearing of an article of clothing.也许是在游戏前或游戏后媒体会议上的言论,或者在游戏场地上的行为,或者穿戴衣物的行为.
274In a world where politics is kept out of sport, who got to decide what constituted the political act?在一个政治被排除在体育之外的世界中,谁来决定什么是政治行为?
275Was it the organising association?是组织协会吗?
276If so, I contend that I don't want FIFA, with its well documented history of corruption, making that decision.如果是这样的话,我主张我不想要国际足联,因为国际足联的腐败历史是有充分记载的,因此作出这一决定。
277Was it a players association?是玩家协会吗?
278If so, what manner of rules are to be employed to protect minority groups?如果是的话,应采用何种规则来保护少数群体?
279Would those rules even exist?这些规则还会存在吗?
280Was it the commercial sponsors?是商业赞助商吗?
281If so, are we really going to let large multinational corporations decide the political parameters of acceptability in sport?如果是这样,我们是否真的要让大型跨国公司决定体育中可接受性的政治参数?
282The problems go on and on, and this is just with regard to determining what constitutes a political act.问题不断发生,这仅仅是在确定什么是政治行为方面。
283So now, imagining a world where politics is kept out of sport and a world where there is some sort of hypothetical agreement about what politics should be kept out, we must turn to enforcement.因此,现在,想象一个政治被排除在体育之外的世界,以及一个对什么政治应该不参与有某种假设共识的世界,我们必须转向执行。
284What if a player speaks out and acts in a political way?如果玩家以政治方式说话和行为呢?
285What sanction would they face?他们会面临什么样的制裁?
286Would they be banned from playing and competing?是否禁止他们参加比赛和比赛?
287If so, for how long?如果是的话,需要多久?
288Would they be made to pay a financial fine or to forfeit pay?是要求他们支付罚款还是没收罚款?
289Whatever the combination, athletes and teams would be punitively reprimanded for acts of political expression.无论组合如何,运动员和球队将因政治言论行为而受到惩罚性谴责。
290This is not a world that we should want, and imagine what we might lose from a sporting perspective if that is the world we had.这不是我们应当想要的世界,想象一下,如果世界是我们拥有的世界,我们从体育角度可能失去什么。
291Muhammad Ali lost the best boxing years of his life because of his conscientious objection to the draft grounded in his firm religious convictions.Muhammad Ali失去了一生中最好的拳击年头,因为他出于良心反对基于他坚定的宗教信仰的草案。
292This is widely acknowledged as a sporting tragedy to this day.这至今被广泛视为体育悲剧.
293However, in a hypothetical world where politics is kept out of sport all the time, his example would be commonplace.然而,在一个政治一直没有体育的假想世界中,他的榜样是司空见惯的。
294In closing, and in spirit of author Evelyn Hall, that we may disagree with what people say and do, we should defend their right to say and do it.最后,本着作者伊夫林·霍尔的精神,我们可能会不同意人们的言行,我们应该捍卫他们的言行权利.
295I urge everyone to oppose the motion.我敦促大家反对这项动议。
296Before inviting our second speaker for side proposition, I would like to look towards the audience members for a floor speech.在邀请我们的第二位发言者提出附带建议之前,我想请听众发言。
297Looking for anyone to speak for proposition?找谁为提议说话?
298Yes, the member in the back.是的 后面那个成员
299Hello, ladies and gentlemen of this house.你好,女士们先生们
300Historians have pondered when the Cold War ended.历史学家在冷战结束的时候思考过。
301Was it when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan?是苏联入侵阿富汗的时候吗?
302Was it Glasnost and Perestroika?是格拉斯诺斯特和佩雷斯特里奥卡吗?
303I would tell you it was when Rocky Balboa beat the shit out of Ivan Drago in Moscow and everyone started chanting Rocky.我会告诉你,这是当洛基巴尔博亚在莫斯科击败伊万·德拉戈的狗屎, 每个人都开始高呼洛基。
304Now you might say, Max, you silly goose, this is a movie.现在你可以说,马克思,你这个愚蠢的鹅, 这是一部电影。
305This didn't happen.这不是真的。
306And no, it did not happen.不,它没有发生。
307This is fiction.这是虚构的。
308But it did happen in China.但在中国确实发生过
309It did happen when a delegation of American ping pong players went to China and slowly there started to fall between political relations.当一个美国乒乓球运动员代表团前往中国时,
310Because it is only when sport is an apolitical process that a black athlete can run in Munich and embarrass the Nazi party.因为只有当运动是非政治的过程时,黑人运动员才能在慕尼黑跑步,让纳粹党难堪.
311It is only when sports is a competition of quality, not of ideas, that ideas of freedom can actually prevail.只有在体育是质量竞争而不是思想竞争的情况下,自由思想才能真正占上风.
312Four years ago, a man my age, a member of my football club, was brutally murdered, stabbed with a scythe.四年前,我这个年龄的一个人,我足球俱乐部的成员,被残忍地谋杀,被刀刺伤.
313The reason for this was rather trivial, which is that my sports club has its roots in left wing anarchism,之所以如此,是因为我的体育俱乐部 根植于左翼无政府主义
314while the rival sports club has their roots in right wing nationalism.而对立的体育俱乐部则根植于右翼民族主义.
315And you might say, what does this have to do with kicking a ball between two goal posts?你可能会说,这和踢球有关吗?
316And honestly, I have no idea.老实说,我不知道
317But I do know that violence is bad and I do know that causing division in politics, causing division from politics and bringing up division into sports,但我知道暴力是坏的 我确实知道 造成政治分裂 造成政治分裂 将分裂引入体育
318is a horrible, horrible thing which stops sports from being an honest activity which unites us good people.这是一个可怕的,可怕的事情 阻止体育 成为诚实的活动 团结我们好的人。
319I beg you to propose.我请求你求婚
320Thank you.谢谢
321Any speakers for opposition?有反对者吗?
322Yes, the member.是的,成员。
323The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he did not exist.魔鬼最厉害的把戏 就是让世界相信他不存在
324The problem with saying, and clearly someone agrees with me, that we should keep politics out of sports,问题在于说,而且显然有人同意我的观点, 即我们应该防止政治运动,
325is like saying that we should keep people out of politics.就像说我们应该让人们远离政治
326Because for many people around the world, their very existence is a political statement.因为对于全世界许多人来说,他们的存在本身就是一种政治声明.
327So here's the real question.所以,这是真正的问题。
328What is the non-political option?非政治选择是什么?
329Would a non-political option be to allow Russia to enter the Olympics or not?非政治选择是否允许俄罗斯进入奥运会?.
330Would silencing Muhammad Ali be the political option or allowing him to speak be not?沉默默罕默德·阿里是政治选择,还是不允许他说话?
331We hold deep within ourselves the power to change the world.我们深藏着改变世界的力量。
332The question we must ask isn't whether or not we should have politics or sports in politics or whatever,我们必须问的问题是,我们是否应该有 政治或体育在政治或什么,
333but whether we should have people in sports in the first place.但是,我们是否应该有 人在体育在第一。
334Because for many people and for many things, sports represents the greatest ideal that we could stand for因为对许多人和很多事情来说 体育代表着我们最伟大的理想
335and also the brightest platform that they could have.还有他们能拥有的最亮的平台
336The ability to have the greatest bits of human achievement cast around the world.拥有全世界最伟大的人类成就的能力。
337So when Max says, aha, I don't like politics in sports because sometimes people fight,所以,当马克思说,啊哈, 我不喜欢政治 在体育,因为有时人们打架,
338I would say that on his side, he makes those people silenced.我会说,在他身边, 他使那些人沉默。
339These people have a political statement and those voices are silenced as well.这些人有一个政治声明,这些声音也被压制。
340That is a political statement on their side.这是他们一方的政治声明。
341So Proposition then needs to ask themselves, what kind of peace do they stand for?因此,提案需要问自己,他们代表什么和平?
342Because I would say Proposition stands for negative peace, in the words of Martin Luther King, over positive peace.因为我要说,用马丁·路德·金的话来说,主张消极和平,而不是积极和平。
343For the words of the powerful over those of the voiceless.为强者言胜无声者.
344It is very clear then which side you should stand for.很明显你应该站在哪一边
345Politics in sports is important, not just because politics matter, but because sports matter,运动中的政治很重要 不仅仅是因为政治很重要 而是因为运动很重要
346but because we matter and any intent or purpose to impose upon sports any plausible restriction但是,因为我们很重要 任何意图或目的 对体育施加任何可能的限制
347is another way of keeping people out of sports any more than keeping politics out of sports.除了不让政治参与运动之外,
348For all of these reasons, it is far more important that we allow politics in sports由于所有这些原因,让我们在运动中允许政治更为重要。
349to protect our dignity and the rights of people.保护我们的尊严和人民的权利。
350For all of these reasons, you should oppose.出于所有这些原因,你应该反对。
351Next, I would like to invite the second speaker for opposition.下面,我请第二位发言者表示反对。
352Thank you, President, members of the House, ladies and gentlemen.谢谢你,总统,议员们,女士们,先生们
353Let me begin by acknowledging something important.首先,我要承认一些重要的事情。
354This is not a simple motion like the previous speaker who proposed,这不是一个简单的动议,像前一位发言者提议,
355I would say that the people opposite us are either naive or maybe even dishonest in what they're saying.我要说,我们对面的人 要么天真,要么甚至不诚实 他们所说的。
356Sport and politics live together.体育和政治共同生活。
357They breathe the same air.他们呼吸同样的空气。
358They respond to the same events.他们对同样的事件作出反应。
359And sometimes, yes, they do collide together.有时候,是的,它们确实会碰撞在一起。
360I'm here as the chief executive of the Football Association of Wales to argue that politics,我在这里作为威尔士足球协会的首席执行官 争论政治,
361meaning partisan agendas, state power struggles and ideological campaigns, have no place in sport.意思是党派议程,国家权力斗争和意识形态运动,在运动中没有地位.
362Not because sport is too weak, but to the contrary, because sport is too influential and too powerful.这并不是因为体育太弱,而是相反的,因为体育太有影响力,力量太强.
363Sport is one of the few remaining places in modern life where people can just come together,体育是现代生活中 仅剩的几个地方之一 人们可以聚集在一起,
364not to agree, but just to belong.不是同意,而是归属
365Rich people, poor people, black, white, people of different religions, men, women,有钱人 穷人 黑白人 不同宗教的人 男人 女人
366people who share nothing except a badge, a shirt or, in our case, in football, 90 minutes of hope.除了徽章、衬衫 或橄榄球赛上90分钟的希望
367That openness and sense of connection between people is sports' greatest strength.这种开放和人与人之间的联系是体育的最大力量。
368We know that not from slogans, but from history.我们不是从口号,而是从历史中知道这一点。
369Time and again, sport has reached places politics could never do and spoken to people that politics could not reach.体育已多次到达政治永远无法做到的地方,对人们说政治无法达到的地方。
370It has offered dignity without demanding agreement, belonging without ideology.它提供了尊严,但没有要求达成协议,没有意识形态。
371In South Africa, as we know, sport helped to heal the wounds that politics alone could not.正如我们所知,在南非,体育帮助治愈了政治本身无法消除的创伤。
372In Wales, football has given identity, confidence and joy to generations that have felt invisible elsewhere.在威尔士,足球为那些感觉在别处看不见的世代赋予了身份,信心和欢乐.
373And once sport has turned into a political football, if you will, you place all of this at risk.一旦体育变成了政治足球, 如果你愿意,你就会把这一切置于危险之中。
374History gives us powerful reminders of just what sport can do.历史有力地提醒我们,体育能够做些什么。
375In 1954, West Germany won the FIFA World Cup.1954年,西德获得国际足联世界杯冠军.
376They call it the miracle of Bern.他们称之为伯尔尼的奇迹.
377It wasn't the government policy.这不是政府的政策。
378It wasn't propaganda.这不是宣传
379It was just football.这只是足球。
380That victory helped to restore dignity to a broken nation.这一胜利有助于恢复一个崩溃的国家的尊严。
381It helped to reintegrate Germany back into Europe and it helped the German people to start to believe in themselves again.它帮助德国重新融入欧洲,帮助德国人民重新开始相信自己。
382North Korea, one of the most isolated countries on the planet, have played at the FIFA World Cup.朝鲜是全球最孤立的国家之一,曾在国际足联世界杯上出场.
383They do.没错
384Their female youth teams are very successful in FIFA competitions.他们的女青年队在国际足联的比赛中非常成功.
385They play not because the world agreed with their politics,不是因为世界同意他们的政治
386but because sport created a rare and neutral space where people could come together.但因为体育创造了一个难得的中立空间 人们可以聚集在一起
387In 1998 and 2022, Iran played at the FIFA World Cups.1998年和2022年,伊朗参加了国际足联世界杯.
388Two nations with profound political hostility.两国政治敌对深重.
389No violence, no chaos, no marchers on the streets.没有暴力,没有混乱,没有游行者在街上。
390In 1998, this was a powerful moment where the Iranian government told the players not to interact with the American players.1998年,这是伊朗政府告诉玩家不要与美国玩家互动的有力时刻.
391And what did they do?他们做了什么?
392At enormous personal risks themselves, the Iranian players gave white roses to the American players in front of the whole world as a symbol of solidarity,在巨大的个人风险中,伊朗球员们将白玫瑰献给全世界面前的美国球员,作为团结的象征,
393showing they did not agree with the regime.表明他们不同意该政权。
394So if we were to have banned Iran, we would have punished the players, not the Iranian government, but the Iranian players who openly were against that regime.因此如果我们禁止伊朗,我们就会惩罚玩家,而不是伊朗政府,而是公开反对该政权的伊朗玩家.
395Those same tensions, we were lucky in 2022 to play at the FIFA World Cup against Iran.同样的紧张,我们在2022年幸运地参加了国际足联世界杯对阵伊朗的比赛.
396There was loud calls then for Iran to be banned, not because the players had done anything wrong, but because the actions of the state.当时有人大声呼吁禁止伊朗,不是因为玩家做错任何事,而是因为国家的行动.
397And again, I say, if you ban Iran, you punish the players and not the Iranian government.我再说一次,如果你禁止伊朗, 你惩罚玩家,而不是伊朗政府。
398FIFA's job was not to judge Iranian politics.国际足联的工作不是评判伊朗政治.
399It was to recognize a national team, not a state.而是承认一个国家队,而不是一个国家。
400That distinction really matters.这种区别确实很重要。
401Governments change.政府改变。
402Democracies can be overturned.民主政体是可以推翻的。
403Regimes fall.政权倒台.
404These things happened, but not the national team, because that endures.这些事情发生了,但不是国家队,因为那样会持久。
405If sport starts treating national teams as extensions of governments, sport ceases to belong to the people.如果体育开始将国家队视为政府的延伸,体育就不再属于人民。
406Sport does not magically erase prejudice.体育并不能神奇地消除偏见。
407If it did, racism would not be the stain that it currently is in football, for example, on the pitch, online and in the stands.如果确实如此,种族主义就不会是目前足球界的污点,例如在球场、网上和看台上。
408We must be honest about this.我们必须说实话。
409But sport can disrupt hatred in ways that politics rarely can.但是,体育能够以政治很少能够达到的方式破坏仇恨。
410It can create emotional connections, emotional attachments that sits uncomfortably with prejudice and sometimes weakens that prejudice.它可以产生情感联系,情感上的依恋,这种依恋与偏见坐在一起不愉快,有时也会削弱这种偏见.
411When your hero wears your shirt, scores your goals, carries your hopes, they may not look like you,当你的英雄穿着你的衬衫,打进你的球,带着你的希望, 他们可能不像你,
412but something shifts within you, not always, but sometimes something small shifts when that person you can connect with.但有些东西在你的内心中变化, 并非总如此, 但有时有些小的改变, 当你可以联系到的人。
413These moments do not solve racism, but they humanize people in environments where abstractions hardens into hate.这些时刻不能解决种族主义问题,但在抽象化成为仇恨的环境中,它们使人们变得人性化。
414These moments are fragile, but they matter.这些时刻是脆弱的,但它们很重要。
415In Northern Ireland, figures like Barry McGuigan and the 1982 Northern Ireland World Cup team,在北爱尔兰,像Barry McGuigan和1982年北爱尔兰世界杯队这样的人物,
416they gave people moments where sectarian identity softened.他们给人们一些 教派身份被软化的时刻
417Even briefly, those moments really mattered.简而言之,这些时刻确实很重要。
418They may not have solved the politics, but they certainly humanized it.他们也许没有解决政治问题,但他们确实将政治人性化。
419There is another deeper problem with politics in sport, one that is too frequently ignored.还有另一个更深层次的体育政治问题,这个问题经常被忽视。
420Politics, whether we like it or not, is a matter of interpretation.政治,无论我们喜不喜欢,都是一个解释问题.
421One person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist.一个人的自由战士是另一个人的恐怖分子.
422One nation's active resistance is another nation's active aggression.一个国家的积极抵抗是另一个国家的积极侵略.
423When sporting bodies like ourselves are being asked which interpretation is correct, we are no longer governing bodies in sport.当像我们这样的体育机构被问到哪些解释是正确的时,我们不再是体育领域的管理机构。
424We are arbitrating global politics.我们正在仲裁全球政治。
425This is simply not a role that sports can perform.这根本不是体育可以发挥的作用。
426There would never be consensus.决不会达成共识。
427There would only be pressure, outrage and accusations of hypocrisy.只有压力、愤怒和对伪善的指控。
428And so the entire point of sporting neutrality is not to deny the world's conflicts, but to stand above them.因此,体育中立的整个要点不是否认世界冲突,而是站在它们之上.
429That principle matters, not just philosophically, but practically.这一原则不仅在哲学上,而且在实践上都很重要。
430One reason sport is trusted is because it's supposed to be fair.运动被信任的一个原因是因为它应该是公平的.
431The rules apply to everyone.规则适用于每个人。
432Referees are neutral.被告是中立的。
433Decisions are transparent, even when we disagree with them.即便我们不同意,决定也是透明的。
434Sadly, politics often teaches us the opposite lesson, that power bends rules, that influence matters, that consistency is optional.可悲的是,政治常常给我们提供相反的教训,权力会弯曲规则,影响重要,一致性是可选的.
435When politics enters sport too deeply, fans stop believing in fairness.当政治进入运动太深时,球迷不再相信公平.
436And once the belief goes, sport becomes just another battlefield.一旦相信了 体育就成了另一个战场
437Sport has never been completely free from political influence.体育从未完全不受政治影响。
438International sport itself was born out of nationhood.国际体育本身诞生于国家。
439Flags, banners, anthems.旗,旗,国歌.
440They're built into our competitions.他们已经融入我们的比赛
441In England, as World War One commenced, Rugby Union stopped playing.在英国,随着第一次世界大战的开始,橄榄球联盟停止了比赛.
442They ceased playing to encourage enlistment, whereas association football continued playing to that first year.他们停止踢球以鼓励入伍,而协会足球则继续踢到第一年。
443Rugby Union was seen as patriotic football, less so morally questionable.橄榄球联盟被视为爱国足球,在道德上不那么值得怀疑。
444However, we saw in December 1914 how sport in all of its glory could look as English and German soldiers left down their weapons,然而,我们在1914年12月看到, 体育在它的辉煌中 如何看起来像英国和德国士兵 留下的武器,
445left their trenches and played the beauty of football together.离开他们的战壕 一起玩橄榄球的美
446That was a moment that really mattered and was a very beautiful one, not because governments told them to do so,这是一个真正重要的时刻, 是一个非常美丽的时刻, 不是因为政府告诉他们这样做,
447but because humanity broke through where politics had failed.但因为人类突破了政治失败之处
448That moment still resonates right today because it shows us what sport can do when it is not weaponized.今天,这一时刻仍然有共鸣,因为它向我们展示了体育在没有武器化的情况下能够做些什么。
449The IOC or the likes of UEFA or FIFA cannot lead geopolitics.国际奥委会或欧足联或国际足联的类似组织不能领导地缘政治.
450They find themselves navigating situations beyond sports control.他们发现自己在运动控制之外的情况。
451This is very different to taking political positions proactively.这与主动采取政治立场截然不同。
452It is crisis management, not ideology.这是危机管理,而不是意识形态。
453There's an important distinction there.这里有一个重要的区别。
454These sporting bodies must not become mechanisms to account for exceptional events without turning themselves into permanent political adjudicators.这些体育机构不能成为对特殊事件负责的机制,而不能成为常设的政治裁决者。
455We can't do that.我们不能这样做。
456At the FAW, we live these tensions every day.在海外妇女联合会,我们每天都生活在这种紧张之中。
457Russia, Belarus, Israel, Palestine, attitudes towards equality, diversity, inclusion.俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、以色列、巴勒斯坦,对平等、多样性、包容的态度。
458We often have to answer where FIFA hosts their World Cups.我们经常必须回答国际足联主办世界杯的地方.
459Even our theme song, a Mao Heed, a celebration of Welsh culture and Welsh identity, has been hijacked by other political movements.甚至我们的主题曲"毛海德",庆祝威尔士文化和威尔士身份,也被其他政治运动劫持.
460These issues do not arrive on my desk neatly packaged.我桌上没有这些问题的包装
461They come into the consciousness of our fans, of our players, of our staff.他们进入我们球迷、球员、工作人员的意识。
462They often arrive fraught with emotion, publicly and often with no perfect answer for us.他们经常充满情感, 公开,而且常常没有 完美的答案给我们。
463So how do we navigate them?那么,我们如何导航他们?
464By asking one simple question, is this political ideology or are they actually core values?问一个简单的问题,是这种政治意识形态,还是它们实际上是核心价值?
465FIFA statutes are clear.国际足联章程明确.
466Football must be free from political interference.足球必须不受政治干涉。
467That exists for a reason, because once governments or ideologies control our sport, sport no longer belongs to the people.这是有原因的,因为一旦政府或意识形态控制了我们的体育,体育就不再属于人民。
468Critics may say neutrality can reinforce the status quo.批评者可能认为中立可以强化现状.
469But as Desmond Tutu said, if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.但是,正如德斯蒙德·图图所说,如果你在不公正的情况下保持中立,你就选择了压迫者的一方.
470And this is where we are sometimes accused of taking political positions such as LGBTQ plus rights,这也是我们有时被指控 采取政治立场,如LGBTQ+权利,
471such as racism, equality, diversity and inclusion, players welfare or fan safety.例如种族主义、平等、多样性和包容、玩家福利或粉丝安全。
472These are not partisan political positions.这些不是党派的政治立场。
473They're humanitarian principles.他们是人道主义原则。
474They are rooted in universal human rights, not party platforms.它们植根于普遍人权,而不是政党纲领。
475Protecting people from harm is not politics.保护人民免受伤害不是政治。
476Allowing people to participate is not ideology.允许人们参与不是意识形态。
477Sport does not take a political stance by defending human dignity.体育不采取捍卫人的尊严的政治立场。
478It fulfills its moral duty.它履行其道德义务。
479So let me be clear, keeping conventional politics and ideological agendas out of sport does not mean abandoning moral responsibility.因此,让我明确指出,不让常规政治和意识形态议程参加体育运动并不意味着放弃道德责任。
480It means refusing to let sport become a megaphone for partisan agendas while defending the human dignity and rights.这意味着在捍卫人的尊严和权利的同时,拒绝让体育成为党派议程的扩音器。
481This is not hypocrisy.这不是虚伪。
482This is principle.这是原则。
483Once sports takes political positions selectively, credibility collapses.一旦体育有选择地采取政治立场,信誉就会崩溃。
484Why speak here and not there?为什么在这里说话而不是在那里?
485Why speak now and not then?为什么现在不说话?
486Sporting bodies are not elected governments.体育机构不是民选政府。
487We do not have democratic mandates.我们没有民主授权。
488We cannot solve geopolitics and pretending otherwise damages trust.我们不能解决地缘政治问题,不能假装破坏信任。
489If every geopolitical conflict becomes a test case for sporting bodies, sports will collapse under the weight of expectation.如果每个地缘政治冲突成为体育机构的试验案例,体育就会在期望的重压下崩溃。
490Sporting organisations are not courts.体育组织不是法院。
491We are not foreign ministries.我们不是外交部。
492We do not have legitimacy or the competency to adjudicate every war, every occupation, every disputed border.我们没有合法性,也没有权力裁定每场战争、每一次占领、每一有争议的边界。
493Asking us to do so is not principled.要求我们这样做是没有原则的。
494It's unrealistic.这是不现实的。
495Sporting bodies must be disciplined about remaining apolitical, otherwise they become inconsistent and inconsistency will destroy trust.体育机构必须在保持非政治性方面受到纪律约束,否则它们就变得不一致,不一致将破坏信任。
496So what is the solution?那么,什么是解决办法?
497I would suggest this sport stays away from party politics, but cannot avoid moral responsibility.我建议这个运动远离党政,
498That means no endorsing political parties or electrical movements acting decisively when safety, equality or basic dignity and rights are at stake.这意味着,在安全、平等或基本尊严和权利受到威胁时,不赞同政党或电力运动采取果断行动。
499Using international frameworks, not emotional or commercial pressures.利用国际框架,而不是情感或商业压力。
500Being transparent about any decisions that are made and recognizing that sport can overcome many challenges, but not all.透明地做出任何决定,并认识到体育能够克服许多挑战,但不是所有挑战。
501In fact, I believe these principles should be clearly written into sporting body statutes and that the intention of sport is to remain apolitical while recognizing that extraordinary events may require proportionate, temporary responses.事实上,我认为这些原则应明确写入体育章程,体育的意图是保持非政治性,同时认识到非常活动可能需要相称和临时的反应。
502That is not weakness.这不是软弱。
503That is governance in the real world.这就是现实世界的治理。
504Complex, fast moving and emotionally attached charged things come at us.复杂,快速移动 和情感上附着 充电的东西来到我们。
505Sport will never be 100 percent free from political influence all of the time.体育永远无法完全不受政治影响。
506But we must resist turning it into a political tool.但是,我们必须抵制把它变成政治工具。
507Because when sport is captured by politics, it loses the very thing that makes it powerful.因为当运动被政治抓住时, 它失去了它的力量。
508Sports should remain the place where enemies can meet without fighting, where strangers can cheer together, where humanity occasionally outpaces ideology.体育应该仍然是敌人可以不战斗地相遇的地方,陌生人可以一起欢呼,人类偶尔会比意识形态快.
509As Mandela said, sport has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.正如曼德拉所言,体育有能力以少之又少的方式团结人民。
510And that's precisely why politics in its partisan divisive form should have no place in it.而正因为如此,以党派分裂形式的政治不应该在其中占有一席之地.
511Sport demands protection from politics where we meet first as human beings.体育要求我们首先作为人类开会的地方免受政治的保护。
512That is its healing superpower, not because it ignores the world, but because it refuses to mirror its divisions.这就是它的愈合超能力,不是因为它无视世界,而是因为它拒绝反映其分裂。
513Next, I would like to invite our secretary, Harry Albridge, to deliver a speech.接下来,我请我们的秘书哈里·阿尔布里奇发言。
514I would like to yield my chair to Marla Donovan, Treasurer-elect, Lincoln College.我想把我的椅子交给玛拉·多诺万 林肯学院当选财务主管
515Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Madam President, for giving me the opportunity to speak this evening.晚上好,各位,谢谢你,主席女士,给我机会在今晚发言。
516This is an important motion because sport occupies a special and a unique place in national life.这是一个重要动议,因为体育在国家生活中占有特殊和独特的地位。
517Few things command the same attachment, the same emotional investment, the same loyalty as sports do.很少有事情会像体育一样 得到同样的依恋 同样的情感投资 同样的忠诚
518Week after week, millions of people will go along to their football matches.周而复始,数百万人将参加他们的足球比赛。
519They'll follow their team with a unique level of devotion, a devotion that political parties could only ever dream of.他们会以独特的奉献精神跟随他们的团队, 这种奉献精神是各政党所梦想的。
520And it's precisely because sport matters so much that this motion matters, too,正是因为运动很重要 所以这个运动也很重要
521because this motion asks us to decide whether the sport can truly be separated from the world around us.因为这项动议要求我们决定这项运动是否能够真正与我们周围的世界分开。
522It asks us to imagine that politics is something external, something that arrives from the outside and can be excluded if only we have the determination to do so.它要求我们想象,政治是外部的东西,是来自外部的东西,只有我们有决心这样做,才能被排除在外.
523But the difficulty with this motion is not simply that it would be difficult to implement.但是,这项动议的困难不仅仅是难以执行。
524The deeper problem is that it misunderstands what sport actually is.更深层的问题是它误解了运动的本质。
525The motion rests on a sort of comforting vision.运动依赖于一种令人安慰的视觉。
526The idea that sport can exist is a neutral refuge, a space untouched by the arguments and the division of public life.体育可以存在的想法是一个中立的避难所,一个不受争论和公共生活分裂影响的空间.
527It's an appealing vision.这是一个吸引人的视觉。
528Who wouldn't want sport to unite rather than divide?谁不希望体育团结而不是分裂?
529Who wouldn't want friendly competition to replace conflict?谁不希望友好竞争取代冲突?
530But appealing ideas are not always realistic ones because sport and politics are not separate worlds that occasionally collide with one another.但吸引人的想法并不总是现实的,因为体育和政治并不是偶尔相互碰撞的独立世界。
531They are fundamentally inseparable, not because activists force politics into sport, not because governments meddled with sport.他们根本上是不可分割的,不是因为积极分子强迫政治进入体育,也不是因为政府插手体育。
532The same countries, values and conflicts that shape our lives and shape our public life are the very same issues which shape the sporting world.塑造我们生活和塑造我们公共生活的国家、价值观和冲突正是塑造体育世界的同样问题。
533Athletes are citizens, teams represent nations, sporting institutions are funded, regulated and governed by public bodies and public decisions.运动员是公民,代表国家的团队,体育机构由公共机构和公共决定提供资金、管理和管理。
534Politics is not an intrusion into sport.政治不是对体育的侵犯。
535It is a reflection of the society sport belongs to.这是社会体育的反映。
536And if sport is part of society, then removing politics from sport is far from realistic.如果体育是社会的一部分,那么从体育中去除政治就远非现实.
537And once we recognize that simple fact, the entire premise of this motion begins to unravel.一旦我们意识到这个简单的事实, 这个运动的整个前提开始崩溃。
538Because how exactly would politics be removed?因为怎样才能消除政治?
539Would there be a sort of VAR review for political statements?政治言论会接受VAR审查吗?
540Would we remove public funding from sport, even when it builds the facilities that young athletes depend on?我们是否会从体育中取消公共资金,即使它建造了年轻运动员依赖的设施?
541Would we forbid governments from supporting major events, even when those events bring jobs and investment to communities?我们是否禁止政府支持重大活动,即使这些活动为社区带来工作和投资?
542Would we prohibit athletes from speaking about the circumstances that shape their lives and shape their careers too?我们是否禁止运动员谈论决定其生活和事业的环境?
543Or the most dangerous suggestion of all, would we simply pretend that politics has disappeared while it quietly continues on in the background?或者说最危险的建议,我们是否只是假装政治已经消失,而政治却悄悄地在背景中继续?
544The proposition promises you a clean separation, but they cannot tell us where the line would be drawn.这个提议保证你们可以彻底分离,但他们不能告诉我们该如何划分界限。
545And the reason they cannot tell us where the line would be drawn is because no such line exists.他们不能告诉我们该线会划到哪里的原因是,不存在这种线。
546Politics is already woven into sport at the most fundamental level.政治已经在最根本的层面上融入体育。
547Consider international competition, for example.例如,考虑国际竞争。
548Athletes do not simply compete as individuals, they compete as representatives of their countries.运动员并不只是作为个人竞争,而是作为国家的代表竞争。
549They wear national colours, they stand beneath national flags, they sing national anthems.他们佩戴民族色彩,站在国旗下,唱国歌.
550Their victories are described as national triumphs, their defeats as national disappointments.他们的胜利被描述为民族胜利,他们的失败被描述为民族失望.
551If sport were truly apolitical, why do we organise it along political lines?如果体育是真正非政治性的,我们为什么要按照政治路线来组织它呢?
552Why do we group athletes by assigning them to nations instead of randomly assigning them to teams?为什么我们把运动员分配到国家而不是随机分配到球队来组队?
553Why do medal tables rank countries as though sporting success were a measure of national achievement?为什么奖牌榜上的国家排名似乎体育成功是衡量国家成就的尺度?
554Why do governments celebrate sporting victories as moments of national pride?政府为何庆祝体育胜利,
555To remove politics from sport would require dismantling the system that defines it.要将政治从体育中移除,就必须拆除界定政治的制度。
556And even beyond international competition, that connection remains unavoidable.甚至在国际竞争之外,这种联系仍然是不可避免的。
557When a council decides to build a sports centre, that's a political decision.当议会决定建设体育中心时,这是政治决定.
558When the UK government decided to invest in the 2012 Olympic Games, that was a political decision.当联合王国政府决定投资2012年奥运会时,这是一个政治决定。
559When public money supports grassroots participation, that's a political decision.当公共资金支持基层参与时,这是一个政治决定.
560And now, when people argue that politics should be kept out of sport,而现在,当人们争论 政治应该避免运动,
561they often point to moments where athletes or commentators express political views.他们经常指向运动员或评论员表达政治观点的时刻.
562For example, when Gary Lineker decides to comment on public issues.例如,当Gary Lineker决定评论公共问题时.
563Now, that idea sounds reasonable at first.一开始这个想法听起来很合理
564Many professions do have limits on political expression.许多职业的确对政治表达有限制.
565Teachers, for example, are forbidden from promoting political views in the classroom.例如,禁止教师在课堂上宣传政治观点。
566But sport is not the same kind of environment.但体育不是那种环境。
567Teachers are speaking to students in a position of authority.教师们正与有权威地位的学生交谈。
568Athletes and commentators, by contrast, are public figures speaking to a voluntary audience.相比之下,运动员和评论家是向自愿听众说话的公共人物。
569No one is required to follow a footballer on social media or to listen to a pundit's opinions.任何人都不需要在社交媒体上跟随足球运动员,也不需要倾听知识分子的意见.
570And athletes do not stop being citizens simply because they compete.运动员不会因为竞争而停止做公民。
571Allowing them to express views does not destroy sports' ability to unite people.让他们表达观点不会破坏体育组织团结人民的能力.
572Political expression has not stopped sport from bringing people together.政治表达并没有阻止体育把人们聚集在一起。
573The real question is whether we think athletes should have fewer rights to speak than other真正的问题是,我们是否认为运动员的发言权应该比其他运动员少?
574citizens simply because they are involved in sport.公民只是因为他们参与体育运动。
575Because keeping politics out of sport does not just regulate sport.因为不让政治参与体育并不只是规范体育。
576It restricts the athletes within it.它限制了里面的运动员。
577But there is an even deeper problem with this motion, which I think we're yet to identify.但是这个动议还存在更深层的问题,我想我们尚未确定.
578Because it assumes that politics in sport is something negative, something disruptive,因为它假设运动中的政治是消极的, 破坏,
579something that we don't want to see.我们不想看到的东西
580Yet history suggests something rather different.然而,历史表明,情况相当不同。
581Time and time again, sport has provided a platform through which societies have confronted体育再次提供了一个社会面对的平台。
582difficult issues and made progress.困难的问题和取得的进展。
583International sporting boycotts helped isolate apartheid South Africa,国际体育抵制行动帮助南非孤立种族隔离,
584demonstrating that peaceful pressure could be applied not only through diplomacy,表明和平压力不仅可以通过外交手段施加,
585but also through sport and cultural life.但也通过体育和文化生活。
586Few today would argue that we should have remained silent.今天很少有人会争辩说我们应该保持沉默。
587Few today would suggest that neutrality was the moral choice.今天很少有人会认为中立是道德选择。
588And that example reminds us of an important truth.这个例子提醒我们一个重要的真理。
589Sometimes the presence of politics in sport reflects the presence of injustice in society.有时,政治在体育运动中的存在反映了社会上存在的不公正。
590When inequality exists beyond the stadium, it will inevitably appear within it.当体育场外存在不平等时,它必然会出现在体育场内。
591And when this happens, the demand to keep politics out often amounts to a demand for silence.而当这种情况发生时,要求不搞政治往往等于要求沉默。
592This is why politics should be involved in sport.这就是为什么政治应该参与体育。
593It gives athletes and communities a chance to protest injustice, challenge oppression,它让运动员和社区有机会抗议不公正,挑战压迫,
594and draw attention to social issues which would otherwise go unnoticed.并提请注意社会问题,否则这些问题就会被忽视。
595From boycotts against apartheid to modern movements for racial and gender equality,从抵制种族隔离到现代种族和两性平等运动,
596sport becomes a stage of voices that might otherwise be ignored.体育成为声音的舞台,否则可能会被忽视。
597Removing politics from sport is not neutrality.从体育中消除政治不是中立的。
598It is silencing those who need to be heard most.它正在压制那些最需要倾听的人。
599And is often athletes themselves at the forefront of political and social progress.运动员本身往往站在政治和社会进步的前沿。

606A defiance of the status quo.违抗现状.
607A step forward in a battle for progress.为进步而战的一步.
608And yes, Felix, that is politics.是的,费利克斯,这就是政治。
609And they were only able to do this because of the inherently political and publicized nature of sport.他们之所以能够这样做,只是因为体育本身具有政治性和公开性。
610The proposition wants to strip sport of its role as a driver of social progress提议要取消体育作为社会进步动力的作用
611for the murky promise of neutrality.为中立的模糊承诺。
612Now, in this room, I want you to raise your hand if you've ever seen a game of sports,现在,在这个房间里,我要你举起手 如果你曾经见过运动比赛,

619That sport is one of the few institutions capable of bringing people together体育是少数能把人们团结在一起的机构之一
620across their social differences.他们的社会差异。
621It creates shared experiences, shared moments of triumph and disappointment,它创造了共同的经验、共同的胜利和失望时刻,
622which transcend religious, racial, economic and ideological lines.超越宗教、种族、经济和意识形态界限。
623When England won the 1966 World Cup, we celebrated as one,当英格兰获得1966年世界杯冠军时 我们一起庆祝

627Sport allows citizens to connect with one another,体育可以让公民互相联系,
628to experience collective pride and to participate in the story of their nation.体验集体自豪感,并参与他们国家的故事。

635Politics in sport plays a vital role in nation building,体育政治在国家建设中发挥着至关重要的作用;
636in making people believe that their nation is something greater than themselves.让人们相信他们的民族比自己更大

680For him, if nations must compete, they should compete on a field, not on a battlefield.对于他来说,如果国家必须竞争,它们应该在战场上竞争,而不是在战场上竞争.

725not as an instrument of political punishment.不是作为政治惩罚的工具。
726When medals become geopolitical capital, merit becomes negotiable.当奖章成为地缘政治资本时,功绩便可以谈判。
