How did Movember start? 八字胡十一月是怎么开始的是怎么开始的？
Well, normally , a charity starts with the cause, and someone that is directly affected by a cause. 通常,一个慈善项目开始于某个原因, 有人直接受这个原因的影响

Not so with Movember. Movember started in a very traditional Australian way. It was on a Sunday afternoon. 但八字胡十一月除外。八字胡十一月的开始 是很传统的澳大利亚方式。那是个星期天的下午。
traditional:传统的,惯例的,
I was with my brother and a mate having a few beers, and I was watching the world go by, had a few more beers, and the conversation turned to '70s fashion — (Laughter)?— and how everything manages to come back into style. 我跟我的兄弟还有一位朋友在喝酒, 我闲看人来人往 几瓶酒过后,我们的话题转到了 70年代的时尚风了 --（笑声）-- 谈到了怎么以前的东西又流行起来了。

Then one more beer and it was, whatever happened to the mustache? 又喝了一瓶酒,八字胡怎么了？

So then there was a lot more beers, and then the day ended with a challenge to bring the mustache back. (Laughter) 之后又喝了很多酒,再然后一天就这么完了 其间立下了把八字胡带回来的挑战（笑声）
So in Australia, "mo" is slang for mustache, so we renamed the month of November "Movember" 在澳大利亚,“mo”是八字胡的俚语说法 所我们我把十一月改名叫作“八字胡十一月“
slang:n.俚语;行话;adj.俚语的;vi.用粗话骂;vt.用俚语说; renamed:v.重新命名;给…改名;(rename的过去分词和过去式)
and created some pretty basic rules, which still stand today. 又制定了一些基本规则,沿用至今
And they are: start the month clean-shaven , rock a mustache -- not a beard, not a goatee , a mustache -- for the 30 days of November, and then we agreed 这些规则是:月初把胡子刮干净 只留八字胡 -- 不是下巴胡,不是山羊胡,是八字胡 -- 留一整个十一月的三十天,之后月末的时候
clean-shaven:adj.胡子刮光了的;不蓄胡子的; goatee:n.山羊胡子;
that we would come together at the end of the month, have a mustache-themed party, and award a prize for the best , and of course, the worst mustache. (Laughter) 我们聚在一起 开一个八字胡的主题派对, 评出最佳胡子奖,当然,还有最糟糕胡子奖（笑声）
for the best:出于好意;
Now trust me, when you're growing a mustache back in 2003, and there were 30 of us back then, and this was before the ironic hipster mustache movement — (Laughter) — it created a lot of controversy . (Laughter) 相信我,你要是在2003年留八字胡 那时我们有三十个人 那绝对是在讽刺的嬉皮士八字胡运动之前 --（笑声）-- 这引起了相当多的争议（笑声）

But we came together at the end of the month and we celebrated our journey, and it was a real journey. 但是月底时我们朋末聚在一起 庆祝我们的历程,这场绝妙的历程
And we had a lot of fun, and in 2004, I said to the guys, "That was so much fun. We need to legitimize this so we can get away with it year on year." (Laughter) 我们玩得很尽兴,2004年,我对大伙说, “这太有意思了。我们得把它合法化了, 以后每年我们才好一直这样逍遥法外。”（笑声）

inspired:adj.受到启发的; v.鼓舞; (inspire的过去分词和过去式)
And we thought, you know what, there's nothing for men's health. 我们就想,还没有什么活动是关注男性健康的。
Why is that? Why can't we combine growing a mustache and doing something for men's health? 为什么这样呢?为什么我们不能一边蓄小胡子 同时也为男性健康做些事情呢？
And I started to research that topic, and discovered prostate cancer is the male equivalent of breast cancer in terms of the number of men that die from it and are diagnosed with it. 于是我开始研究这个问题, 发现根据诊断和死亡数量 男性前列腺癌就相当于女性的乳腺癌
equivalent:adj.等价的,相等的;同意义的;n.等价物,相等物; diagnosed:v.诊断(疾病);判断(问题的原因);(diagnose的过去分词和过去式)
But there was nothing for this cause, so we married growing a mustache with prostate cancer, and then we created our tagline , which is, "Changing the face of men's health." 但还没什么人为此办过什么活动 所以我们把蓄八字胡子和前列腺癌联系在一块 设计了我们的口号, “改变男性健康面貌”
tagline:n.标语;品牌口号;
And that eloquently describes the challenge, changing your appearance for the 30 days, and also the outcome that we're trying to achieve: getting men engaged in their health, having them have a better understanding about the health risks that they face. 口号正贴切地形容了那项挑战 用30天改变你的外貌 以及我们希望取得的成果: 让更多男性关注他们的健康,让他们 更好了解他们所面对健康风险

transform:v.使改变;使改观;使转换;n.[数]变换式;[化]反式; organization:n.组织;机构;体制;团体;

convinced:adj.坚信; v.使确信; (convince的过去分词和过去式) Melbourne:n.墨尔本(澳大利亚一座城市);

And he just looked at me and laughed, and he said, he said, "Adam, that's a really novel idea, but we're an ultraconservative organization. 他看着我笑了起来,他说, 他说,“亚当,那真是一个非常新颖的想法 但我们是一个极端保守的机构

We can't have anything to do with you." (Laughter) 我们不能和你扯上任何关系。”（笑声）
So I paid for coffee that day — (Laughter) — and his parting comment as we shook hands was, "Listen, if you happen to raise any money out of this, we'll gladly take it." (Laughter) 那么我就付了那天的咖啡钱 –（笑声）-- 我们握手道别的时候,他说道, “听着,如果你们因此真的筹到钱, 我们会很乐意收下的。”（笑声）
gladly:adv.乐意地;高兴地;欢喜地;
So my lesson that year was persistence . 所以那一年我的教训就是坚持不懈

Let me tell you that there's not too many people interested in investing in that, not even the Prostate Cancer Foundation, who we'd raised about 1.2 million dollars for at that stage. 让我告诉你并没有很多人有兴趣 把钱投资在我们那,甚至是前列腺癌症基金会 我们在那个阶段帮它筹了120万元
investing:v.投资;投入(时间、精力等);(invest的现在分词)
So again we persisted, and Foster's Brewing came to the party and gave us our first ever sponsorship , and that was enough for me to quit my job, I did consulting on the side. 再次,我们坚持住了,Foster’s Brewing（澳洲啤酒集团）的人参加了我们的派对 并给了我们第一笔赞助 那足以让我辞掉工作,我那时在做兼职咨询

And leading into Movember 2006, we'd run through all the money from Foster's, we'd run through all the money I had, and essentially we had no money left, and we'd convinced all our suppliers -- creative agencies , web development agencies , hosting companies, whatnot -- to delay their billing until December. 到了2006年的八字胡十一月 我们已经花光了Foster’s赞助的所有钱 我们花光了我所有的积蓄,也就是说 我们没有钱剩了,我说服我们所有的供应商— 创意公司,网页设计公司 网站托管公司,诸如此类的 – 把他们的账单延迟到12月

But we thought, you know what, if that's the worst thing that happens, so what? 但我们想,如果那是最坏的情况 如果真发生了,那又如何？
We're going to have a lot of fun doing it, and it taught us the importance of taking risks and really smart risks. 我们做这件事的时候乐在其中,它也教会我们 要冒险,尤其是冒明智风险的重要性
Then in early 2007, a really interesting thing happened. 然后在2007年初,非常有趣的事情发生了
We had Mo Bros from Canada, from the U.S., and from the U.K. emailing us and calling us and saying, hey, there's nothing for prostate cancer. 我们有来自加拿大,美国 英国的八字胡兄弟写邮件给我们,打电话给我们说, 嘿,这里还没有为前列腺癌症办的活动

(Laughter) （笑声）
'"It's going to transform your organization. I don't want to tell you about it now, but will you meet with me if I fly all the way to Toronto ?" So I flew here, “它将会让你的机构彻底改变。我不想 在电话里告诉你,如果我飞去多伦多 你愿意和我见个面吗？”所以我就飞过来了
Toronto:n.多伦多(加拿大城市);
met down on Front Street East, and we sat in the boardroom , and I said, "Right, here's my vision of getting men growing mustaches all across Canada raising awareness and funds for your organization." 我们在前沿路东（Front Street East）碰面,我们坐在会议室里 我说,“好,我的愿景就是让全加拿大的男士留八字胡 提高对前列腺癌症的意识并给你的机构筹款。”

I've heard this before. I know how it goes. 我之前也听过这话,我知道接下来会怎样

So what we did was, we took some of the money that we raised in Australia to bring the campaign across to this country, the U.S, and the U.K., and we did that because we knew, if this was successful, we could raise infinitely more money globally than we could just in Australia. And that money fuels research, and that research will get us to a cure. 我们做的是,我们拿了一些 在澳大利亚筹到的钱把活动带到 加拿大这个国家,到美国,英国,我们那么做 是因为我们知道,如果活动成功 我们能在全球筹到无限多的钱 远多于我们在澳大利亚筹到的。那些钱 可以用作研究,研究可以帮我们找到治疗的方法
infinitely:adv.无限地;极其;
And we're not about finding an Australian cure or a Canadian cure, we're about finding the cure. 我们不是要找澳大利亚治疗法 或者加拿大治疗法,我们是要找出根治的办法
So in 2007, we brought the campaign across here, and it was, it set the stage for the campaign. 2007年,我们把活动带到了这里来 它为活动设了个平台
It wasn't as successful as we thought it would be. 但它没有我们想象中的成功
We were sort of very gung ho with our success in Australia and New Zealand at that stage. 我们大概因为那时在澳大利亚和新西兰的成功 而太过信心满满

'"And we talked -- I talked to them about Movember, and then after that, my dad came up to me, and at the age of 26, for the first time ever, I had a conversation with my dad “然后我们就交谈起来—我和他们说起了八字胡十一月, 然后,我爸过来和我说话,那时我正值 26岁,第一次,我和我爸单对单探讨男性的健康
one on one about men's health. I had a conversation with my dad about prostate cancer, and I learned that my grandfather had prostate cancer and I was able to share with my dad that he was 展开对话。我们探讨了 前列腺癌,我了解到 我的爷爷患过前列腺癌 我还和我爸提到
twice as likely to get that disease , and he didn't know that, and he hadn't been getting screened for it." 他患病的机率是一般人的两倍,他对此并不知情 他也没有为此做过扫描检查。”
disease:n.病,[医]疾病;弊病;vt.传染;使…有病;
So now, that guy is getting screened for prostate cancer. 于是,这个爸爸就去做前列腺癌症的扫描检查
So those conversations, getting men engaged in this, at whatever age, is so critically important, and in my view so much more important than the funds we raise. 这些对话就让男士们参与到这件事里面来 不管是什么年龄,这是非常重要的 在我看来远远重要于 我们筹到的基金
critically:adv.精密地;危急地;批评性地;用钻研眼光地;
Now to the funds we raise, and research, and how we're redefining research. 现在提到了我们筹到的基金,和研究 以及我们怎么重新定义这些研究
We fund prostate cancer foundations now in 13 countries. 我们现在为13个国家的前列腺癌症基金会筹款
foundations:n.基础;地基;基金会;粉底;(foundations是foundation的复数)
We literally fund hundreds if not thousands of institutions and researchers around the world, and when we looked at this more recently , we realized there's a real lack 我们真的为数百个,如果还没到数千个,机构筹款 还为世界各地的研究员筹款,我们最近 再研究了一下,我们意识到
literally:adv.按字面:字面上:确实地: institutions:n.机构;慈善机构;风俗习惯,制度;(institution的复数) recently:adv.最近;新近;
of collaboration going on even within institutions, let alone nationally , let alone globally, and this is not unique to prostate cancer. This is cancer research the world over. 机构与机构之间缺乏真正的合作 更不用说国家之间,或者全球合作了,这不只是 前列腺癌症的问题,全世界癌症研究的状况都如此
collaboration:n.合作;勾结;通敌; let alone:更不必说;听任;不打扰; nationally:adv.全国性地;以国民立场地;举国一致地; unique:adj.独特的,稀罕的;[数]唯一的;n.独一无二的人或物;
And so we said, right, we'd redefined charity. We need to redefine the way these guys operate. How do we do that? 我们说,是的,我们重新定义了慈善机构。我们需要 重新定义这些机构之间的运作方式。我们怎么做呢？
So what we did was, we created a global action plan, and we're taking 10 percent of what's raised in each country now and putting it into a global fund, and we've got 我们做的就是,我们创立一个全球行动计划 我们把在每个国家筹款的10%抽出来 放进全球基金里面,然后我们聚集
the best prostate cancer scientific minds in the world that look after that fund, and they come together each year and identify the number one priority , and that, last year, was getting a better screening test. 全世界最优秀的前列腺癌症科学精英 看好那个基金 他们每年会聚集起来并确认 首要任务 去年是要把扫描检查做得更好
scientific:adj.科学的,系统的; identify:v.识别:鉴定:确认:发现: priority:n.优先;优先权;[数]优先次序;优先考虑的事;
So they identified that as a priority, and then they've got and recruited now 300 researchers from around the world that are studying that topic, essentially the same topic. 他们确定要优先考虑这个问题,然后 他们就招了300个研究员 他们是来自世界各地,研究这个问题的人 也就是研究同一个问题
identified:v.确认;认出;找到;发现;说明身份;(identify的过去式和过去分词) recruited:v.招聘,雇佣;招募;(recruit的过去分词和过去式)
So now we're funding them to the tune of about five or six million dollars to collaborate and bringing them together, and that's a unique thing in the cancer world, and we know, through that collaboration, it will accelerate outcomes . 所以现在我们向他们提供 大约500到600万元让他们合作 让他们聚集起来,这是很有意义的事 对于癌症世界而言,我们知道,通过那些合作 可以加快成果
funding:n.基金;资金;提供资金;v.为…提供资金;拨款给;(fund的现在分词) tune:n.曲调;和谐;心情;v.调整;使一致;为…调音;调谐; collaborate:vi.合作;勾结,通敌; accelerate:v.加快;加速;n.接受速成教育的学生; outcomes:n.结果;成果;后果;出路;(outcome的复数)
And that's how we're redefining the research world. 我们就是这样重新定义研究领域
So, what I know about my Movember journey is that, with a really creative idea, with passion , with persistence, and a lot of patience , four mates , four mustaches, can inspire a room full of people, 我认为我的八字胡十一月历程 本着非常创新的构想 本着热情,坚持不懈,和巨大的耐心 我们四个人,四撇八字胡 可以启发一屋子的人
passion:n.激情;热情;酷爱;盛怒; patience:n.耐性,耐心;忍耐,容忍; mates:n.朋友; v.交配;
and that room full of people can go on and inspire a city, and that city is Melbourne, my home. 而那满屋子的人可以将之推广,启发一个城市 那城市就是墨尔本,我的家乡
And that city can go on and inspire a state, and that state can go on and inspire a nation, and beyond that, you can create a global movement that is changing the face of men's health. 那个城市可以继续推广下去,启发一个州,那个州 继续推广,启发一个国家,而由此 你可以发起一个全球运动 而这项运动会改变男性健康面貌
My name is Adam Garone, and that's my story. 我的名字是亚当加罗内（Adam Garone）,这就是我的故事.
