It is a trip to the spa unlike anything Remy Meraz has experienced. It was really like I was on vacation.
这次水疗经历与雷米·米拉兹以往经历过的都不一样。感觉我真的像是在度假一样。

Meraz picks a location she wants to experience. Then she gets geared up with a virtual reality headset.

A fan, infrared heat, and aromatherapy with scents in the air are all triggered, when the user enters the virtual world in their headset.
当用户进入头显中的虚拟世界时，会触发风扇、红外线加热器和带有香味的空气芳香疗法。

Your mind processes the sense, it processes the warmth, it processes for, you know, the tropical treat, the wind from the fans, and so you really believe you're in these environments.
你的大脑处理着感官信息，处理着温暖的感觉，处理热带的感觉，以及风扇吹来的风，你真心相信自己置身于这些环境中。

The heat lamp gives users the feeling of the Sun's warmth on their face, or in front of a cozy fireplace.
加热灯让用户的脸上能感受到阳光的温暖，或感觉像在舒适的壁炉前一样。

In addition to this cabin on a cold winter's day, other experiences include a calm pool in Morocco, and even an outerspace experience.
除了这个寒冬中的小屋，还有其它度假体验，包括摩洛哥的宁静泳池，甚至还有外太空体验。

Meraz chose a trip to the forest waterfalls.

I could smell the aroma of what it would feel like in a forest. It was, you know, woodsy sense. I could feel cool air blowing on me.
我能闻到森林里的香气。就像是那种身处树林间的感觉。我能感受到迎面吹来了凉爽的风。

These virtual locations still do not look quite like video of a real place.
这些虚拟的地点看起来仍然不太像真实的场景。

And for some users, the headset does make it tough to get a good neck massage.
对于一些用户来说，戴着耳机确实让他们很难获得良好的颈部按摩体验。

This is in Cambodia when kids are seeing water come out of the ground for the first time in their lives. Also in Cambodia.

Annie Griffiths has thousands of photographs she has taken all around the world, one of the first female photographers at the famous national Geographic magazine.
安妮·格里菲思在世界各地拍摄了数千张照片，是著名的《国家地理》杂志首批女摄影师之一。

In the span of 45 years, she has traveled to over 150 countries and all seven continents.
在45年的时间里，她去过150多个国家，足迹遍布七大洲。

I've always felt that being a woman was an advantage in my job, both initially getting into photo journalism, and then recognizing that I had half the world pretty much to myself.
我一直觉得，作为女性在我的工作中是一种优势，无论是最初进入新闻摄影领域，还是后来意识到我几乎独享了半个世界。

I spent about five years doing projects in the Middle East, and many parts of the Middle East and many aspects of their culture are gender separate.
我花了大约五年时间在中东做项目，中东的许多地区及其文化的许多方面都是性别分离的。

I think that is judged often by the western world, but there again is an opportunity to actually look at it from the women's point of view.
我认为西方世界常常对此作出评判，但实际上这也是一个从女性视角去看待它的机会。

The women caught by Griffiths' camera survived natural disasters and migrations, discrimination, war, epidemics and famine.
格里菲斯镜头捕捉到的这些女性经历了自然灾害、迁徙、歧视、战争、流行病和饥荒后幸存了下来。

But she says despite it all, they keep the traditions alive, raise children,grieveand just leave.
但她说，尽管经历了这一切，他们依然让传统得以延续，养育子女，承受悲伤，然后悄然离去。

So the stories I focus on are where women have found solutions.
我关注的故事是女性找到解决办法的地方。

It's usually because they come together as a group, and as a group they figure out how to do something better.
通常是因为他们以团队形式聚集在一起，并且作为一个团队，他们共同想出如何把事情做得更好。

They're the ones planting millions of trees. They're the ones who are you know staying till the last minute after the men leave, and then shepherding their children and sometimes their parents.
她们种植了数百万棵树。她们会在男人离开后，一直坚守到最后一刻，照顾她们的孩子，有时也照顾她们的父母。

She believes women don't like being victims, and remain hopeful in the grimmest of circumstances.
她认为女性不喜欢成为受害者，并且在最严峻的情况下仍保持着希望。

And that was the reason why Griffiths decided to found the charity projectRippleEffect Images that founds programs for women in developing countries.
这就是格里菲思决定创办慈善项目“RippleEffect Images”的原因，该项目旨在为发展中国家的女性设立各类援助计划。

The idea came to her nine years ago when Griffiths saw the data from the United States Agency for International Development on humanitarian aid.
九年前，当格里菲思看到美国国际开发署有关人道主义援助的数据时，这个想法便在她脑海中萌生了。

Two cents out of every American aid dollar went to programs for women, so 98 went to men's programs.
每1美元美国援助资金中，只有2美分用于女性项目，其余98美分则用于男性项目。

So I literally called my girl friends who are some of the best photographers in the world, and said, "Look, why don't we learn from the women we observe in the wider world?"
我打电话给我那些身为世界顶级摄影师的女性朋友们，然后说：“我们为什么不从在更广阔世界中观察到的女性身上学习呢？”

They reported raising over 10 million dollars just in those first six years. So it works you know when you humanize a situation.
她们报告说仅仅在最初的六年里就筹集了超过1000万美元。当你将情况人性化处理时，这是行得通的。

So you don't talk about the women of Morocco. You show a woman from Morocco and you see the light in her eyes.
你不用去谈论摩洛哥的女性，你只要展示一位摩洛哥女性，然后你就能看到她眼中的光芒。

But work is not all Griffiths focuses on. She is the mother of two children, and from the very start she promised herself to never part with them for more than two weeks.
但工作并非格里菲斯生活的全部。她已是两个孩子的母亲，从最初她就向自己承诺，绝不与孩子们分开超过两周。

Most of her work trips with National Geographic lasted at least three months.
她在《国家地理》工作时的大部分行程至少持续了三个月。

So like their mother, Griffiths's children saw dozens of countries and met thousands of people.
像他们的母亲一样，格里菲思的孩子们游览了几十个国家，结识了成千上万的人。

I've been traveling with my mom since I was just in her belly, so we've picked up a few stories over the years.
从我还在妈妈肚子里的时候起，我就和她一起旅行了，这些年来我们积累了不少故事。

We've been to some really remarkable places, feel real highlights over the years.
这些年来，我们去过一些非常了不起的地方，真切地感受到了那些精彩时刻。

I think that the Middle East is always gonna be really special to me.
我觉得中东对我来说永远都会非常特别。

In 2008, Griffiths published a book of photo memoirs called A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel that focused on how to reach harmony between work, family and the whole wide world.
2008年，格里菲思出版了一本名为A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel的摄影回忆录，该书聚焦于如何在工作、家庭和整个世界之间达成和谐。

So Drive Thru Drama, it's kind of like a Disney ride without the scary animatronics. It's driving and stopping at each actor. It's a live actor.
得来速戏剧秀有点像没有吓人电子动画的迪士尼游乐项目。你只需要开车在每个演员面前停下，都是现场表演的演员。

They perform a monologue where there are 10 stations and it all comes together to make one story.
他们表演一段独白，一共有十站，连起来是一个完整的故事。

I came across something I had learned about in theater history called medieval pageant wagons which was common at the time where actors would be on a wagon and they would do their scene and then it would move to the next town or to the next group of audience members.
我偶然在戏剧史中发现了中世纪巡游彩车，这在当时很常见，演员们会站在彩车上表演剧目，然后彩车会移动到下一个城镇或下一批观众面前。

So, I sort of took that idea and flipped it, where the actor stays in one place and then the audience drives around and hears the rest of the story.
我就借鉴了这个想法并把它反过来，让演员待在一个地方，然后观众开车四处转，听故事的其余部分。

I was a banker. I've never done anything like this. I don't know that there's ever been anything like this to do before.
我曾是一名银行家。我从未做过这样的事，也不知道还有这样的形式。

So, it's kind of like some of the things but still it's not. It's entirely different.
可能曾经听说过类似的东西，但又完全不同。

Part of my job was I would sort through the money and decide if money couldn't be used anymore.
我的部分工作是清点这些钱，并决定哪些钱不能再使用了。

It's in the game. Okay? All Right. You know, I have a help cushion but it's not enough.
我正在游戏中。我有一个缓冲的时间，但根本就不够。

Okay, listen. I think we ought to cut our losses, like try to outlast until maybe second place and then…..
我认为我们应该及时止损，比如试着坚持到也许第二名...

We've never done anything like this before but I'm really looking forward to it.
我们以前完全没有看过这种表演，但我真的很期待。

We both love theater and any chance to go and see live theater, I was excited about because there hasn't been much this year.
我们俩都热爱戏剧，只要有机会去看现场戏剧演出，我都会很兴奋，因为今年这样的机会并不多。

Well, I thought when Danielle came to me and said, "I want to do a show," my mind went to monologues.
当丹妮尔来找我说“我想搞一个演出”的时候，我的脑海里浮现的是独白。

My mind went to plays that are traditionally told by one person at a time, a one-person show but spread out over 10 people.
我想起来以前那种一个人讲一个部分的表演，这依然是独角戏，但把整个故事分配给了10个人。

And I thought I guess that's possible to do 10 disparate stories that are all linked around one thing, which in this case is a dollar bill with some writing on it.
我觉得我们可以讲10个不同的故事，但是这些故事都围绕的是一个主线，在这个例子中就是一张写有字的美元钞票。

Make a small change and those sound like pretty big changes to me, pal.
做个小小的改变，对我来说就是很大的改变，伙计。

Yes, I am going to cue you. So, this car needs to get over to the second actor. They'll be there for just a few moments.

This is, I don't know, it looks really fun. You know, and we do like to go to things like this.
我不知道，这看起来真的很有趣。我们确实喜欢参加这样的活动。

She had a, battery is dead in her car. I ran the air conditioning during the last half hour without the car on.
她车里的电池没电了。我在没有启动汽车的情况下开了半小时空调。

When they're done, they're going to give you a little bit of a bow.
他们表演完之后会微微鞠躬。

There's a chance for you to give a little clap and you may move on from there to the next.
这个时候你可以鼓掌，然后开到下一个演员那里。

I feel that us, as the white community, that we hold a very strong responsibility to speak up and be heard.

My name is Jeremiah Hirsch and I am the owner of Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Erase the hate is a campaign that we put together to cover up racist and offensive tattoos.

And in doing so, I had a gentleman that I went to high school with that reached out to me about having a Confederate flag tattoo on his foot that he was embarrassed of and it was hitting him even harder seeing the stuff that I was posting.
在此期间，一位高中同学联系了我，他说自己脚上有个邦联军旗的文身，这让他很尴尬，看了我发的帖子后更是自惭形秽。

And he asked if we would work with him on covering it up.
他问我愿不愿意帮他遮掉这个纹身。

So I went to the guys in the shop and I was like, I think this would be a really good opportunity for us to help this guy out and cover it up, document it and then post it and then launch this campaign of Erase the hate.
然后我就到店里去跟员工说，我觉得这对我们来说是个绝佳的机会，我们可以帮他遮盖纹身，把这件事记录下来，然后发布出去，接着发起“消除仇恨”的活动。

I want to cover up this tattoo that I got a long time ago. I'm getting rid of this heart here with this Confederate flag in it.
我想遮掉这个很久以前的纹身。我正在去除这个带有邦联旗帜的心形纹身。

The tattoo is free but we ask for a minimum donation for $100 that will go to one of the organizations that we're working with, that goes directly to the Black community.
遮掉纹身是免费的，但我们要求至少捐助100美元，这笔钱将捐给我们合作的一个组织，然后直接流向黑人社区。

People have really been behind what we're doing. I mean you do have some, like, a handful that are, like, against it.

Their argument is that it's heritage, not hate and that it's a symbolism of, you know, state freedom and stuff like that.
他们声称这种南方联邦的纹身是文化遗产，而非仇恨，而且是各州自由的标志。

But I feel, you know, not to be disrespectful, but I feel at the same time they're not very educated in the history of what it's behind and what it stands for and what the different declarations of the Confederacy was for. It was to keep and instill slavery.
说句难听的，我觉得他们对这些事物背后的历史、代表的意义以及南方联邦各种主张的目的都不太了解。邦联的目的就是维护和巩固奴隶制。

My upbringing, my parents were preachers and was raised in the Christian faith and as I got older and ventured out on my own, I experienced other religions and stuff.
在我的成长经历中，我的父母都是传教士，我是在基督教信仰的熏陶下长大的，随着我年龄增长并开始独自探索，也接触到了其他宗教。

I really connected with Buddhist and Hindu traditions and really found this parallel between religions and understanding that the universal importance is empathy, love and compassion.
我真的与佛教和印度教传统产生了共鸣，并且确实发现了不同宗教之间的相似之处，也明白了共情、爱和慈悲具有普世的重要性。

And then I see this connection between them and between human beings as a whole, and that being present here in this moment and where we are as a nation, is very important that we need this progressive push forward for equality for every human being that's on this planet, especially the Black community where they're affected most.
然后我看到了宗教之间以及全人类之间的联系，此时此刻我们身处此地，作为一个民族，我们需要为地球上每一个人争取平等而不断向前推进，这一点非常重要，尤其是对受影响最大的黑人社区来说。
