My name is Stuart Duncan, but I'm actually probably better known online as "AutismFather." 我叫斯图尔特·邓肯, 但实际在网络上, 我更为人熟知的身份是“自闭症之父”。
Stuart:斯图亚特王室的;
That's me on the internet. 这就是我在网上的形象。
I know the resemblance is uncanny . 我知道很难把我和网上那个形象联系起来。

(Laughter) （笑声）
But I'm going to talk a little bit today about Minecraft. 不过今天我要谈谈一款游戏叫“我的世界（Minecraft）”。
That's my Minecraft character. 这是我在这款游戏中的形象。
If you don't know the game very well, don't worry too much about it. 如果你对这款游戏不太了解,这没关系。
It's just the medium that I used at the time to fill a need. 它只是我用来满足特定需要的平台。
medium:n.(传播信息的)媒介;手段;工具;方法;adj.中等的;中号的;
And what I want to talk about applies to pretty much every situation. 而我今天想讲的内容是具有普遍性的。
applies:v.适用;申请;运用;专心;(apply的第三人称单数)
So about four years ago, I started a Minecraft server for children with autism and their families, and I called it "Autcraft." 大约四年前,我创建了一个Minecraft服务器, 专为自闭症儿童及其家人提供帮助, 因此,我称之为“自闭创世神“ （Autcraft。）
autism:n.[心理][内科]孤独症;自我中心主义;
And since then, we've been in the news all around the world, on television and radio and magazines. 自此,我们的事迹见诸于出现在了世界各地的新闻报道、 电视、广播以及杂志上。
Buzzfeed called us "one of the best places on the internet." Buzzfeed（美国新闻网站）称我们创建的平台 是“互联网上的乐土”之一。
We're also the subject of an award-winning research paper called " Appropriating Minecraft as an Assistive Technology for Youth with Autism." 有一篇屡获殊荣的研究论文 就是以我们为主题,叫 《“我的世界”--电脑辅助技术帮助自闭症儿童》。
award-winning:adj.应获奖的;优等的;备受赞誉的; Appropriating:v.盗用;占用;侵吞;拨(专款等)(appropriate的现在分词) Assistive:辅助的; Technology:n.技术;工艺;术语;
It's a bit of a mouthful. 这标题听起来有点绕口,
But you get the idea, I think. 但我想你们能猜到这篇论文的大意了。
So I want to talk a little bit about that research paper and what it's about, but first I have to give you a little bit of history on how the server came to be. 所以,我想谈谈这篇论文, 以及论文中探讨的问题, 但在此之前,我先来讲些背景信息, 关于Atucraft这个服务器是如何建立的。
Back in 2013, everybody was playing Minecraft, kids and adults alike, with and without autism, of course. 2013年的时候, “我的世界”风靡网络, 无论儿童还是成人, 当然也不管有没有自闭症, 大家都在玩。
But it was the big thing. 不过,自闭症是一件需要重视的事。
But I saw parents on social media reaching out to other parents, asking if their autistic children could play together. 然而我在社交平台上看见 一些自闭症儿童的父母联系有类似遭遇的父母, 询问是否他们的孩子可以在一起玩,
media:n.媒体;媒质(medium的复数);血管中层;浊塞音;中脉; autistic:adj.[心理][内科]孤独症的;孤僻的;n.孤独症患者(常指儿童);
And the reason is that when they tried to play on public servers, they kept running into bullies and trolls . 因为当他们的孩子在公共服务器上玩游戏时, 他们总会遇到欺凌者和恶意的人。
bullies:n.仗势欺人者;横行霸道者;v.恐吓;伤害;胁迫;(bully的第三人称单数和复数) trolls:n.山精,巨怪;v.曳绳钓(鱼);拖钓;搜查;(troll的复数和第三人称单数);
When you have autism, you behave a little differently sometimes, sometimes a lot differently. 因为如果你患有自闭症的话, 有的时候你的行为会有一点点反常, 有的时候则完全异于其他人。
behave:v.表现;(机器等)运转;举止端正;(事物)起某种作用;
And we all know a little bit of difference is all you really need for a bully to make you their next target. 总所周知,对于一个霸凌者来说, 仅仅一点点不同就足够 使你成为他的下一个欺凌对象了。
bully:vt.恐吓;伤害;胁迫;n.仗势欺人者;adj.快活的;盛气凌人的;
So these terrible, terrible people online, they would destroy everything that they tried to make, they would steal all their stuff , and they would kill them over and over again , making the game virtually unplayable. 因此,网上的那些心怀恶意的人, 会在游戏中蓄意破坏 这些自闭症儿童努力搭建的东西, 偷窃他们的道具, 甚至一遍一遍地 攻击杀害他们游戏中的形象, 让这些自闭症患者 无法继续玩下去。
stuff:n.东西:物品:基本特征:v.填满:装满:标本: over and over again:adv.一再地;反复不断地; virtually:adv.事实上,几乎;实质上;
But the worst part, the part that really hurt the most, was what these bullies would say to these kids. 但最糟糕,最伤人的是 这些网络上的霸凌者 会告诉这些自闭症儿童,
They'd call them rejects and defects and retards . 他们是被抛弃的、 有缺陷的、 或是弱智的人。
rejects:n.不良品; v.拒绝; defects:n.缺点;瑕疵;不合格品(defect的复数);v.叛变(defect的三单形式); retards:n.阻碍;减速(retard的复数);v.阻碍,减缓(retard的单三形式);
And they would tell these kids, some as young as six years old, that society doesn't want them, and their own parents never wanted a broken child, so they should just kill themselves. 这些人甚至对那些年仅六岁的孩子说, 这个社会厌恶他们, 他们的父母永远不会爱一个残缺的孩子, 因此他们应该自我了断生命。
And of course, these kids, you understand, they would sign off from these servers angry and hurt. 而你知道的,这些自闭症儿童 会十分生气、伤心地退出服务器。
They would break their keyboards, they'd quite literally hate themselves, and their parents felt powerless to do anything. 他们会砸坏键盘,甚至直接说厌恶自己, 而他们的父母则感到无能为力。
literally:adv.按字面:字面上:确实地:
So I decided I had to try and help. 于是,我决定试着帮助这些孩子和家庭。
I have autism, my oldest son has autism, and both my kids and I love Minecraft, so I have to do something. 我也有过自闭症, 我的长子也患有自闭症, 而我的孩子和我都 非常喜欢玩“我的世界”这个游戏。 所以,我得做点什么来改变这一状况。
So I got myself a Minecraft server, and I spent some time, built a little village with some roads and a big welcome sign and this guy and a lodge up on a mountaintop , and tried to make it inviting. 于是,我自己建立了一个“我的世界”服务器, 然后我花了点时间, 建了一个有道路穿过的小村庄, 一个巨大的欢迎标志和山顶上的城堡, 我试图使它变得吸引人。
lodge:n.传达室; v.(向公共机构或当局)正式提出(声明等); mountaintop:n.山顶;
The idea was pretty simple. 我的想法非常简单。
I had a white list, so only people that I approved could join, and I would just monitor the server as much as I could, just to make sure that nothing went wrong. 我有一个白名单,只有得到我的允许, 玩家才能加入, 因此我尽可能地监督服务器的运营使用, 以确保没有恶性事件发生。
approved:adj.被正式接受的,被正式认可的; v.赞成; (approve的过去分词和过去式)
And that was it, that was the whole promise: to keep the kids safe so they could play. 这就是我的初衷,也是我的承诺: 确保孩子的安全, 于是他们就可以尽情享受游戏的欢乐了。
When it was done, I went to Facebook and posted a pretty simple message to my friends list, not publicly. 当我建成这个服务器时, 我在Facebook上面向好友发了一条信息, 并没有所有人公开。
I wanted to see if there was any interest in this, and if it really could help. 因为我想试运营一下, 看看大家对它有没有兴趣, 以及到底有没有用。
Turns out that I greatly underestimated just how much this was needed, because within 48 hours, I got 750 emails. 结果我发现, 我彻底低估了大家对它的需要程度, 因为仅在两天之内, 我就收到了750申请加入的邮件。
greatly:adv.很,大大地;非常; underestimated:v.低估;对…估计不足;轻视(underestimate的过去分词和过去式)
I don't have that many Facebook friends. 而我在Facebook上的好友都没有750个。

Within eight days, I had to upgrade the hosting package eight times, from the bottom package to the most expensive package they had, and now, almost four years later, 八天之内,我就升级了主机程序包八次, 从最普通的主机包升级成最昂贵的那种, 而如今,差不多四年后,
upgrade:v.使升级;提升;改良品种;n.升级;上升;上坡;adv.往上;adj.向上的; hosting:v.主办,主持;主持;做东;(host的现在分词)
I have 8,000 names on the white list from all around the world. 我的白名单上有8000名来自世界各地的用户。
But the reason I'm up here today to talk to you isn't just because I gave kids a safe place to play. 但是,我今天站在这里演讲的目的 并不是告诉大家 我给孩子提供了一个安全的游戏环境。
It's what happened while they played. 我想谈的是一件 发生在他们游戏过程中的事。
I started hearing from parents who said their children were learning to read and write by playing on the server. 我开始倾听家长们的意见, 他们说自己的孩子在服务器上 学习读写。
At first they spelled things by sound, like most kids do, but because they were part of a community , they saw other people spelling the same words properly and just picked it up. 起初,这些孩子 只是像大多数孩子一样按发音拼单词, 但由于他们身处Autcraft社区之中, 当他们看到其他人能准确地拼出一样的单词, 自己也就学会了。

I started hearing from parents who said that their nonverbal children were starting to speak. 家长们还告诉我 他们沉默寡言的孩子 开始讲话了。
