 Then there was "The Daily Show."  接着,有个“每日秀”的节目出现了。

On a nightly basis, Jon Stewart forced me to be intellectually honest with myself about my own bigotry1  每一晚,乔恩·斯图尔特催促我诚实面对自己的偏见,
and helped me to realize that a person's race, religion or sexual orientation2 had nothing to do with the quality of one's character.  帮助我认识到一个人的种族, 信仰和性取向对这个人的人格没有任何关系。
He was in many ways a father figure to me when I was in desperate need of one.  某种程度上说,每当我迫切需要一个父亲的时候,他就在那里。
Inspiration can often come from an unexpected place,  鼓舞人心之事往往来自你无法预知的地方,
and the fact that a Jewish comedian3 had done more to positively4 influence my worldview than my own extremist father is not lost on me. 事实上,一个犹太裔喜剧明星积极地影响我的世界观,比我那极端的亲生父亲多得多。
One day, I had a conversation with my mother about how my worldview was starting to change,  某天,我和母亲谈到我的世界观正在改变,
and she said something to me that I will hold dear to my heart for as long as I live.  她对我说,我将在生命里一直带着尊重的心。
She looked at me with the weary eyes of someone who had experienced enough dogmatism to last a lifetime,  她用疲倦的眼神看着我,她受够了被教条主义侵占的人生,
and said, "I'm tired of hating people."  说到:“我不愿憎恨他人了。” 
In that instant, I realized how much negative energy it takes to hold that hatred5 inside of you. 瞬间,我意识到,在内心里承受憎恨需要多么巨大的负能量。
Zak Ebrahim is not my real name.  扎克·伊博黑姆不是我的本名。
I changed it when my family decided6 to end our connection with my father and start a new life.  当我的家人决定和我父亲断绝关系时我改了这个名字以开始新的生活。
So why would I out myself and potentially put myself in danger?  那么,我为什么要出现在公众视线前将自己置于可能的危险境地呢? 
Well, that's simple.  嗯,这很容易解释。
I do it in the hopes that perhaps someone someday who is compelled to use violence may hear my story and realize that there is a better way,  我这样做是希望也许某人某天当他决定使用武力反抗社会的时候可能会听到我的故事,
that although I had been subjected to this violent, intolerant ideology7, that I did not become fanaticized.  并意识到有比动武更好的方法,尽管我曾被灌输这样的暴力思维,偏狭的意识, 我并没有为其所动。 
Instead, I choose to use my experience to fight back against terrorism, against the bigotry.  而是选择通过自己的经验来抵抗恐怖主义,来反对偏见。 
I do it for the victims of terrorism and their loved ones,  我为了那些恐怖袭击的受害者以及他们的亲人而这样做,
for the terrible pain and loss that terrorism has forced upon their lives.  为了那些被恐怖主义活动所造成的生命的苦痛和损失而这样做。
For the victims of terrorism, I will speak out against these senseless acts and condemn8 my father's actions.  为了那些遭受恐怖袭击的受害者,我站出来反对这些毫无意义的袭击行动,谴责我父亲的行为。
And with that simple fact, I stand here as proof that violence isn't inherent in one's religion or race,  就是这样简单的原因,我站在这里证明暴力不是宗教或种族与生俱来的,
and the son does not have to follow the ways of his father. I am not my father. 儿子并不需要走上和父亲相同的道路。我不是我的父亲。
Thank you. (Applause) 谢谢。
