她立志為下一代消滅艾滋病

You already know Alicia Keys and that 1）singular voice…

Alicia： （singing）Hotter than a fantasy，lonely like a highway...

…but for the last decade she’s been quietly using that voice to save others，…

Alicia： （singing） She’s living in a world，and it’s on…

…pushing prevention and treatment for HIV，her organization 2）Keep a Child Alive.And the children in those towns and villages in Africa she has helped to save，they now sing to her.

Interviewer： You say that a lot of us make the mistake of thinking it’s just happening over there.

Alicia： Mmm.I realized，I，myself，even，we’re just not talking about it in America.There’re so many people who are finding themselves newly infected，the infection rate is actually just remaining the same.It’s not going down here in America.

大家已經很熟悉艾麗西婭·凱斯和她那獨特的嗓音……

艾麗西婭：（唱）比夢幻更性感，像公路那般寂寞……

……但十年來，她卻一直默默地用歌聲去救助別人……

艾麗西婭：（唱）她生活在一個世界，那是在……

……她自己成立的 “讓孩子活下去”組織一直努力推動艾滋病病毒的預防及病毒感染者的治療。在她曾經幫助過的一些非洲城鎮及村莊，孩子們在為她歌唱。

采訪者：你說，我們很多人有誤解，以為艾滋病只會發生在離我們很遠的地方。

艾麗西婭：嗯，我意識到，即使我自己也是這樣想的，我們在美國就是不談及這個問題。事實上新近被發現的感染者并不少，感染率實際上一直保持不變，它在美國并沒有下降。

Alicia： （Public Service Ad）I’m Alicia Keys…

Interviewer： And，tonight，she’s behind a brand new project，Empowered，sitting down with women from all over America living with HIV and surviving.

Alicia： I guess we can be sometimes cruel human beings，and we can treat people…we can 3）ostracize them，and that’s very sad，and we can’t do that to people，so，for me，Empowered is really about taking the power back and really having a conversation with women，and particularly women of colour，who are really affected and infected at a higher rate，and，for me，that’s just，it’s not OK，so it’s not something we can just let go and we just watch people slowly die.Like，that’s not it.So that’s what Empowered is about.They’re your sister，they’re，you know，my sister is there，you aunty’s there，your daughter is，you know.They are our brothers，our fathers，our sons，it’s our community，it’s our global community.

Alicia，now a mother herself，wants these women to know they haven’t been forgotten.She wants to wipe out HIV for the next generation.

Interviewer： Do you look forward to the day when he says，“My Mom is the one who kept that conversation going”？ Alicia： Wow！ I kinda never thought about it，to be honest.Yeah，and I look forward to him being able to say，you know that we’re the first AIDS-free generation.Like，that he doesn’t know anyone who has AIDS，and he would never meet anyone who has AIDS from his generation.He’s only gonna be three，you know，imagine that he’s 13 and 20 and 25，and he could say

艾麗西婭：（公益廣告）我是艾麗西婭·凱斯……

采訪者：今晚，她在支持一個全新的慈善項目——“自強”，她與來自美國各地感染了HIV病毒并努力抗爭的婦女坐在一起。艾麗西婭：我覺得，我們有時很殘忍，我們對待他人……我們會排斥他們，那很可悲，我們不能這樣待人，所以對我來說，“自強”項目是要將正能量帶回來，與婦女們展開真正的對話，尤其要幫助有色人種婦女，因為她們深受其害，并且HIV病毒感染率更高。我覺得，這是不能容忍的，這不是我們可以放任自流的事，我們不能眼睜睜地看著人們慢慢地死去，不能那樣。所以，這就是“自強”項目要去做的事。她們是你們的姐妹，你知道，她們中有我的姐妹，有你的姑姨，有你們的女兒。你知道，他們是我們的兄弟，我們的父親，我們的兒子，這是我們自己的社區，是我們一個全世界的共同社區。
