TED演講-口語練習：星球大戰(zhàn)角色扮演者的另一面

在TED演講節(jié)目中，演講者清晰的口語表達及其內(nèi)容的寫作手法都是值得我們學習借鑒的。在本期的TED演講中，演講者將通過舉例講述成為街頭圖書管理員的方法和意義。請結(jié)合視頻內(nèi)容，開始口語練習吧！

原文及翻譯

This is Andrew Liptek. He's a historian and a member of the 500 and First Legion, and they're cosplayers. That means that they dress up like Stormtroopers, clone troopers, and pretty much any other bad guy from the Star Wars franchise. They go to conventions, march in parades, and show off their costumes. 

這是安德魯·利普泰克。他是一名歷史學家，也是 500 和第一軍團的成員，他們是角色扮演者。這意味著他們會打扮成沖鋒隊、克隆人士兵以及《星球大戰(zhàn)》系列中的任何其他壞人。他們參加會議、參加游行并展示他們的服裝。

But you know what else they do? Charity. They raise money for the Red Cross and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and lots of other groups. And that's not exactly what you expect from bad guys. He explained that it started out because groups of these fans would get together and swap tips on how to build armor and what to do when your armor is falling apart. But they began to realize that people in the group couldn't all afford the fancy injection-molded plastic that they needed to build these costumes. 

但你知道他們還做什么嗎？慈善。他們?yōu)榧t十字會和許愿基金會以及許多其他組織籌集資金。而這并不是你對壞人的期望。他解釋說，最初是因為這些粉絲會聚在一起，交換如何制造盔甲以及當你的盔甲散架時該怎么做的技巧。但他們開始意識到，團體中的人無法負擔制作這些服裝所需的精美注塑塑料。

So, they started raising money for each other. And then they started thinking about other communities that could use money and resources too. And that's how they reimagined their community, going way beyond Star Wars fans into groups of strangers. Escapist stories allow us to reimagine our relationship with the places where we live and reimagine the kinds of services we want to offer to the people who live there.

因此，他們開始互相籌集資金。然后他們開始考慮其他可以使用資金和資源的社區(qū)。這就是他們重新構(gòu)想社區(qū)的方式，將范圍從星球大戰(zhàn)粉絲擴大到陌生人群體。逃避現(xiàn)實的故事讓我們重新構(gòu)想我們與居住地的關系，重新構(gòu)想我們想為居住在那里的人們提供哪些類型的服務。
