1.Well after many years working in trade and economics, four years ago, I found myself working on the front lines of human vulnerability. 在从事经济和贸易的工作多年以后， 四年前， 我开始投身于 人类脆弱领域的前线。2.And I found myself in the places where people are fighting every day to survive and cant even obtain a meal. 我发现在我身处的地方， 人们每天为生存而斗争 但仍然不能吃上一顿饭。3.This red cup comes from Rwanda from a child named Fabian. 这个红色的杯子来自卢旺达， 来自一名叫Fabian的孩子。4.And I carry this around as a symbol, really, of the challenge and also the hope. 我到哪里都带着它 真的，把它作为一个挑战 以及希望的象征。5.Because one cup of food a day changes Fabians life completely. 因为每天这样一杯的粮食 完全地改变着Fabian的生活。6.But what Id like to talk about today is the fact that this morning, about a billion people on Earth -- or one out of every seven -- 但今天我要讲述的是这样一个事实： 今天早上 地球上大约有10亿人 也就是七份之一的人口7.woke up and didnt even know how to fill this cup. 醒来却不知道 怎样能填满这样一个杯子。8.One out of every seven people. 七份之一的人口。9.First, Ill ask you: Why should you care? 首先，我会问你们为什么应该关心这个问题？10.Why should we care? 为什么我们应该关心？11.For most people, if they think about hunger, they dont have to go far back on their own family history -- maybe in their own lives, or their parents lives, 对于大部分人来说， 当他们想到饥饿， 他们不用回想到很久远的家族历史来追忆一段捱饿的经历-- 这段经历也许就发生在他们自身，他们的父母，12.or their grandparents lives -- to remember an experience of hunger. 或是他们祖父母 的一生中。13.I rarely find an audience where people can go back very far without that experience. 我很少能从观众中 找到有人能追溯到很久远却没有这样的经历。14.Some are driven by compassion, feel its perhaps one of the fundamental acts of humanity. 有些人是出于同情心， 觉得这也许是 人类基本的行为。15.As Gandhi said, To a hungry man, a piece of bread is the face of God. 就像甘地说的， “对于一个饥饿的人来说，一块面包就像是上帝的面孔。”16.Others worry about peace and security, stability in the world. 其他人担心世界的和平，安全 与稳定。17.We saw the food riots in 2008, after what I call the silent tsunami of hunger swept the globe when food prices doubled overnight. 当粮食价格在一夜之间番倍， 一场在我看来是无声的饥饿海啸席卷全球， 随之我们看到2008年的粮食暴动。18.The des
