Malawi is one of Africa's poorest nations. But Dahlan says its people are known as warm-hearted.
马拉维是非洲最贫穷的国家之一。但达岚表示，这里的人民以热心著称。

In fact, their slogan is we're the warm heart of Africa. And they really live up to that. We found the most hospitable people you can imagine.
他们的口号是“我们是非洲的温暖之心”。他们也真的做到了这一点。这里的人们非常热情好客。

He says local people form committees to keep the wells operating, a crucial component for each community plan.
他说，当地人组成委员会来维持水井的运行， 这是每个社区计划的关键组成部分。

So we get five key leaders, male leaders and five female leaders, you know, for not only equality purposes,
我们选出五位关键领导人，五位男性领导人和五位女性领导人，这不仅是出于平等的目的，

but we all know the power of women, and they're the primary water collectors, so this thing breaks down, they're gonna make sure that it gets fixed.
而且我们都知道女性的力量，她们是主要的集水者，要是这东西坏了，她们会确保把它修好。

We use the perception of, it's not what it looks like, it's what it tastes like.

It is a trip to the spa unlike anything Remy Meraz has experienced. It was really like I was on vacation.

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

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.

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.
我要告诉你们怎么走了。 现在你们的车要开去第二个演员那里。他们只会在那里停留片刻。

I'm trying to pace it so there's no accordion happening on the back side. I'll let you wait it from there.
我正试着控制节奏，这样后面就不会出现起伏不平的情况了。我会让你从那里等着看后续。

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。
