There is a heartbreaking story right now that we should talk about. Last night, a gunman entered three different Atlanta area spas and shot and killed eight people. The majority of the victims were Asian, and all but one were women. And our hearts are broken for their families and loved ones and the community at large.
現在正在發生一件令人心痛的事情，我們必須談談這件事。昨晚，一名持槍歹徒進入亞特蘭大三間按摩水療館，持槍殺害八名受害者。受害者大部分都是亞洲人，其中七名是女性。我們非常心痛，為這些受害者的家屬與愛人感到痛心，也為全體社會感到痛心。
In isolation, this is a tragedy—it's a sad, horrible tragedy. But what's happening here—it isn't an isolated incident. It comes as the latest in a string of anti-Asian hate and violence, making this a crisis.
單獨來看，這是一件悲劇－－悲傷、可怕的悲劇。但現在發生的事情－－並不是單獨事件。這是最近一連串亞裔仇恨與暴力事件的其中一樁，導致這種行為成為危機。
According to NYPD data, hate crimes motivated by anti-Asian sentiment in New York City alone jumped by 1,900 percent in the last year. One thousand nine hundred percent in 12 months. These numbers are shocking.
根據紐約市警察局資料顯示，去年單在紐約市，因仇亞情緒而引發的犯罪率就躍升了百分之一千九百。十二個月上升了百分之一千九百。這數字非常令人震驚。
But when you think about...when you think about the casual racism that's been pervasive over the past 12 months, then we can start to see the link between language and action. There are real consequences to repeatedly hearing hateful speech. People get hurt, and people die. This mass murder is the product of a system that repeatedly leaves women of color and sex workers in a place where they are invisible. They are vulnerable and targeted.
但當你想到...當你想到過去十二個月隨機發生的種族歧視事件如此氾濫，我們就開始看得出語言與行為的關聯性。未曾停歇的仇視言論絕對導致了這些結果。人們不斷受傷、死亡。謀殺案層出不窮是這個體系下的產物，這個社會總是將女性有色人種與性工作者置於不可見之處。導致她們易受攻擊、經常被針對。
Identifying these actions as a hate crime isn't just about semantics. And because this is a hate crime, it falls on all of us to address the hate. We are all thinking of those, right now, who are trying to make sense of the senseless and the mourning due to this horrific loss.
將這些行為視為仇恨犯罪並非只是語義學的問題。正因為這些行為是仇恨犯罪，我們所有人都有責任處理這種仇視。我們心中與那些試圖要在痛失愛人的失序與悲傷中找回理性的人們同在。

In isolation, this is a tragedy—it's a sad, horrible tragedy.
單獨來看，這是一件悲劇－－悲傷、可怕的悲劇。
