艾瑪沃特森任聯合國婦女署親善大使

Emma Watson—the humanitarian and staunch feminist who you may recognize from such films as The Bling Ring, Noah, and the Harry Potter movies—is now working with the United Nations on gender equality and female empowerment.

你對艾瑪·沃特森的瞭解可能僅限於電影《珠光寶氣》《諾亞方舟》和《哈利·波特》系列電影，但你一定不知道她還是擁護人道主義的堅定女性，現在在聯合國致力於性別平等和女性賦權工作。

On Monday, UN Women and Watson announced that she had been appointed as a celebrity Goodwill Ambassador. The 24-year-old British actress will work on the "empowerment of young women and will serve as an advocate for UN Women's HeForShe campaign," according to the UN Women's press release. (The HeForShe campaign enlists men and boys to stand up for gender equality.) In 2012, Watson became an ambassador for the Campaign for Female Education.

週一，聯合國婦女署宣佈沃特森被指派爲親善大使。據聯合國婦女署新聞發佈會，這位24歲的英國女演員將“從事於年輕女性賦權的工作，並將倡導推進聯合國婦女署發起的HeForShe運動”（HeForShe運動號召男性支持性別平等）。早在2012年，沃特森成爲女性教育運動的親善大使。

The announcement drew enough web traffic to crash the UN Women website. "We apologize & hope to be back up soon," the UN entity tweeted. The site experienced problems for roughly 12 hours following the announcement. "This is the power of [Watson]; she has such global appeal," UN Women's Elizabeth Nyamayaro told Mother Jones.

然而，這一消息的宣佈導致聯合國婦女署官網崩潰。“對於網站崩潰我們深表抱歉，希望很快恢復正常。”聯合國負責人在Tweet中發佈道。聯合國婦女署官網在沃特森擔任親善大使後，由於訪客過多而崩潰了約12個小時。“這是沃特森的力量，她對全球人民都有着極大的吸引力。”聯合國婦女署工作人員伊麗莎白告訴Mother Jones網站記者。

"Ms. Emma Watson is someone who is not only smart, but someone who is very passionate about girls' issues," Nyamayaro said, explaining why the UN reached out to the actress in the first place. According to Nyamayaro, Watson is particularly excited about working with HeForShe, and will also support the work of young women across UN Women's strategic pillars, including economic empowerment, ending violence against women, political participation, and peace and security.

至於爲什麼把沃特森作爲聯合國婦女署親善大使的第一人選，伊麗莎白解釋說，“艾瑪·沃特森小姐不僅聰穎美麗，而且對於女性問題也非常熱心。”她還說沃特森對從事於HeForShe運動的工作感到尤其興奮。同時她也將支持聯合國婦女署有關年輕女性戰略支柱的相關工作，包括經濟賦權、抵制婦女暴力、政治參與權、和平及安全等方面。

Here is Watson's full statement on her new gig:

有關自己的新角色，沃特森這樣寫道：

Being asked to serve as UN Women's Goodwill Ambassador is truly humbling. The chance to make a real difference is not an opportunity that everyone is given and is one I have no intention of taking lightly. Women's rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can't imagine an opportunity more exciting. I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience, and awareness to this role

被邀請擔任聯合國婦女署親善大使真的讓我受寵若驚。這一可以真正有所作爲的機會不是每個人都能得到的，我感到任重道遠。婦女權利與我的身份密切相關，所以我內心深深地爲這個機會感到激動。我要學的還很多，但是隨着工作的進展，我希望能用自己的知識、閱歷和感悟扮演好這個角色。
