Script:
Woman:
We’ve
all
heard
the
moan
of
the
modern
day
high
school
teachers.
My
kids
ain’t
motivated.
They
don’t
want
to
learn.
And,and
that’s
real,but
we
got
another
epidemic
especially
in
the
middle-class,upper-class
and
affluent
schools.
It’s
called
teenage
depression.
A
resent
study
at
the
Center
for
Disease
Control
found
that
17%
of
kids
in
Grade
9
to
12
have
seriously
considered
suicide.
What?!
17%!
It
is
now
the
third
leading
cause
of
death
for
teenagers.
Some
experts
say
that
drowsy
driving
is
as
deadly
as
drunk
driving.
80%
of
teenagers
today
are
sleep
deprived.
This
now
that
we’ve
learn
losing
sleep
will
cause
a
multitude
of
medical
issues,not
just
depression
but
anxiety,weakening
of
the
immune
system,ADHD.
High
stress
teens
are
twice
likely
to
smoke,drink,use
drugs.
What
the
hell’s
going
on?
Our
kids
are
over-stressed,over-scheduled
because
it’s
all
about
getting
the
grade,getting
into
a
good
college.
Oh,they
were
arriving
at
college,by
the
way,fried.
Princeton
is
now
considering
of
recommending
a
gap
year
between
high
school
and
college,because
freshmen
are
showing
up
burned
out,in
no
condition
to
learn.
Why,in
God’s
name,do
we
have
to
teach
AP
courses
in
high
school?
These
are
college
courses!
Whatever
happens
should
be
waiting
for
college.
And
the
answer
can
be
we
have
to
offer
them
because
other
schools
are.
Is
all
the
work
those
stressed-out
kids
are
doing
in
correlation
between
happiness,success
and
getting
into
the
right
school?
None.
Meanwhile,the
kids
are
missing
all
those
fun.
They
are
teenagers.
It’s
taking
a
physical
and
emotional
toll.
The
neuroscience
and
multi-tests
show
it
hurts
the
brain.
It
dumps
us
down.
All
these
stuffs
our
kids
are
doing
to
get
them
ahead
are
setting
them
back.

Selected

engaged

politics.
It’s
all
about
winning.
And
parents?
They
want
their
children
to
win.
And
maybe
there’s
no
correlation
between
success
and
Harvard,but
they
want
their
kids
to
go
to
Harvard
just
the
same.
They
look
at
their
friends’
kids
and
their
neighbors’
kids
and
they
want
their
own
kids
to
be
better
then,because
we
are
a
nation
of
winners.
Samantha
Joseph
perhaps
died
in
part
because
she
was
doing
too
much
to
succeed
in
a
competitive
world.
Yet,ask
any
parents
what
they
want
most.
It’s
prepare
my

to
succeed
in
a
competitive

Watch
it
again!
How
is
it

S4第3集
Alan
Shore为因受禁欲教育而未使用避孕套性交最终感染HIV病毒的十五岁女孩辩护的精彩结案陈词:
This
case
isn
t
about
teenage
pregnancy.
She
didn
t
get
pregnant.
She
got
H.
I.
V.
I
can
see
why
you
d
want
to
make
it
about
teenage
pregnancy
since?
Well,actually,I
can
t.
这个案子跟青少年怀孕无关。她没有怀孕,而是染了艾滋病毒。我能理解你为何就青少年怀孕的问题大做文章,因为.实际上,我却不能!
The
United
States
has
the
worst
teen
pregnancy
rate
of
any
industrialized
nation.
And
contrary
to
what
Mr.
Jovanka
would
like
us
to
believe.
There
is
no
evidence
whatsoever
that
suggests
using
condoms
or
teaching
students
about
condoms
makes
them
any
more
inclined
to
have
sex.
None.
美国的青少年怀孕比率,比任何工业化国家都要高,而Jovanka先生想让我们相信的,却恰恰相反。根本没有证据表明,提倡避孕套的使用或是教育学生们避孕套的知识,会让他们有发生性行为的倾向,完全没有!
They
re
already
inclined
to
have
sex
and
have
been
since
early
puberty.
They
re
simply
going
to
do
it.
We
all
do
it.
Birds
do
it.
Bees
do
it.
Educated
fleas
do
it.
One
day,your
honor,even
you-
-yes,the
fact
is
this
case
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
efficacy
of
abstinence
only
programs【只教学生禁欲理论】.
This
case
is
about
religion,politics
and
federal
funding.
Our
present
administration,in
blind
service
to
the
religious
right,has
transcended
the
separation
of
church
and
state
and
consistently
implemented
a
faith
-
based
political
and
moral
mandate.
And
now
that
same
policy
has
been
passed
on
to
our
educational
system.
If
schools
teach
abstinence
only,they
get
federal
funding.
If
they
teach
any
other
type
of
sex
education,they
don
t.
And
as
a
result,the
students
in
these
abstinence
only
programs
aren
t
being
taught
the
truth
about
that
magnificent
technological
marvel
--the
condom.
他们打从青春期初期,就开始对性憧憬,他们早晚都要有性行为,我们都是!鸟也这样,蜜蜂也这样,有点常识的跳蚤都会这么做。终有一天,即使,您.(指的是尚是处男的法官)问题是,这个案子与禁欲教育的功效毫无关系,而重点在于宗教、政治和联邦基金。我们当前的执政管理无视信仰的权益,逾越了政教分离这一政策,还一味的执行一套自行推崇的政治及道德准则。而现在,同样的准则已经被执行到教育系统里,如果学校强执禁欲校规,就可以得到联邦基金的资助,如果他们进行其他的性教育,他们就一毛钱拿不到。所造成的结果就是:接受禁欲教育的学生却没有被告知,崇高、有效、又为人惊叹的避孕套的用途。
That
s
not
a
dirty
word,your
honor.
Condoms.
They
first
came
on
the
scene
some
3,000
years
ago
in
Egypt.
For
centuries
they
went
merrily
along
in
modified
forms,warding
off
syphilis【医,梅毒】,gonorrhea,【医,淋病】
preventing
unplanned
pregnancies,until
science
and
medicine
eventually
caught
up
and
the
pill
became
a
much
more
effective,less
intrusive
contraceptive【避孕用具】.
Penicillin【青霉素】
and
other
antibiotics
were
miracle
cures
for
gonorrhea
and
syphilis.
The
poor,humble
condom
languished【文学,衰退】.
这又不是啥脏字儿,法官大人,“避孕套“。它们最早
出现在三千年前的埃及。它们以被改良后的形状为人们造福了几个世纪,让人们免于梅毒、淋病以及意外怀孕的困扰,直到后来医药科学迎头赶上,避孕药成为了更有功效并减少侵扰性的避孕措施。而盘尼西林及其他抗生素可以神奇的扼杀梅毒和淋病的病毒,可怜又卑微的避孕套被冷落了。
And
then
came
A.
I.
D.
S?
This?
Terrifying
new
disease
that
panicked
the
world.
For
many
years,it
has
been
fatal,gruesomely
so
in
every
case.
There
was
no
vaccine,no
cure,no
treatment.
But
there
were
condoms,and
they
worked
and
they
protected
both
partners.
The
condom
is
arguably
the
single
most
important
invention
of
the
past
2,000
years.
In
fact,it
has
been
said
without
exaggeration
that
the
health
of
the
world
depends
on
them.
然后却杀出了个艾滋病这一让世界惊颤的新生疾病.曾经在多年期间,此病的每个病例都是致命的、可怖的,没有疫苗、没有治愈方法、没有疗法,但是有避孕套在啊,它们有效。它们使用起来安全,经过时间的考验,用法简易,能保护使用双方。避孕套正是过去两千年间唯一一个毋庸置疑的最重要的发明,实际上有一种未加夸张的说法——“世界的健康都靠它们“!
Now
one
would
think
that
the
obvious
choice
would
be
for
schools
to
tell
their
students
as
much.
But
Abby’s
school-
-
indeed,all
schools
that
teach
abstinence
only-
-
have
chosen
to
lie.
They
teach
that
condoms
are
ineffective
at
preventing
pregnancies,which
is
a
lie.
They
teach
that
condoms
are
ineffective

Some

literature
actually
compares
using
a
condom
to
playing
Russian
roulette,which
is
a
frightening,despicable,unforgivable
lie.
说到这儿,有人会想,显而易见的方法就是让学校来教育学生这些,但是Abby的学校,及其他进行禁欲教育
的学校却选择了说谎。他们误导学生说避孕套不能避免怀孕,这就是个谎言。他们还说避孕套不能防预疾病,这还是个谎言。还有些读物将使用避孕套比作是玩俄罗斯轮盘赌,这更是一个令人发指、卑鄙并不能让人原谅的谎言!
Abby
Holt
has
H.I.V.,Which
in
all
likelihood
will
develop
into
A.I.D.S.
We
ve
sort
of
forgotten
about
A.I.D.S.
in
this
country.
Treatments
have
improved
dramatically.
Drugs
are
keeping
people
alive
for
many
years
after
they
become
infected.
But
the
grim
butcher
s
bill
for
this
pandemic
still
keeps
growing
and
growing.
65
million
people
worldwide
have
become
infected.
Onetime
unprotected
sex
can
kill
you.
A
condom
can
save
you.
It
is
inconceivable
that
every
child
in
the
world
weren
t
taught
that.
We
should
be
in
criminal
court
【法律,刑事法庭】
this
very
moment,trying
this
obscenely
duplicitous
school
for
conspiracy
to
commit
murder.
Abby
Holt感染了艾滋病毒,并将进一步发展为艾滋病。我们对艾滋病似乎有些遗忘了,针对这一疾病的疗法有了极大的进步,人们一旦染病,靠药物的维持可以生存很多年。但因这一全球流行的疾病而丧命的人数依旧在不停的上涨,全世界有六千五百万人染有此病。仅一次没有保护措施的性行为就可以让你丧命,但一个避孕套可以让你逃过一劫。不将这一点教育给全世界的每一个孩子的后果是不可想象的。我们现在应该身处刑事法庭,起诉这间猥亵、奸诈的学校,蓄谋谋杀!
But
frankly,I
have
no
stomach
for
that.
I
think
of
the
horror
that
has
been
inflicted
on
this
15-
year-old
girl,and
I
m
just
so
profoundly
sad.
I
can
point
out
the
evils
of
this
corrupt
system.
I
can
tell
you
how
effective
condoms
are,the
lives
they
save
on
and
on
and
on
and
on
and
on,but
words
seem
to
be
these
hollow,useless
things
rattling
around
in
this
courtroom.
Because
ultimately
the
lies
this
school
told
Abbey
Holt
will
probably
kill
her.
They
have
certainly
altered
her
life
forever.
但是说实话,我却并不想这么做。一想到这个15岁的小姑娘所经历的恐惧,我就感到无比的悲哀。我可以指责这腐败系统的
邪恶,也可以畅谈避孕套多么有效,可以救多少人命什么的……但是言语已经变得如此空洞,无用的说话在这间法庭里喋喋不休,因为最终这间学校对Abby
Holt
所说的谎言很可能会要了她的命。而那些谎言也毋庸置疑的改变了她的人生。
And
in
the
face
of
that,all
I
can
think
of
is?
Why?
面对这样的种种
我所能想到的只有.为什么?
