1、My idol Opral Winfrey received the Cecil B. DeMille award.奥普拉终身成就奖感言全文：Im so happy it was you. Thank you. Okay, okay. Thank you, Reese.In 1964, I was a little girl sitting on the linoleum floor of my mothers house in Milwaukee watching Anne Bancroft present the Oscar for Best Actor at the 36th Acade
2、my Awards. She opened the envelope and said five words that literally made history - “The winner is Sidney Poitier.“ Up to the stage came the most elegant man I had ever seen. I remember, his tie was white, and, of course, his skin was black, and Id never seen a black man being celebrated like that.
3、And I have tried many, many, many times to explain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching from the cheap seats, as my mom came through the door, bone tired from cleaning other peoples houses. But all I can do is quote and say that the explanation in Sidneys performance in “Li
4、lies of the Field,“ “Amen, amen. Amen, amen.“(阿门的意思是“诚如所愿”“诚心所愿”“我觉得很好”）In 1982, Sidney received the Cecil B. DeMille award right here at the Golden Globes, and it is not lost on me that(be lost on:make no difference to sb,此句话中用了 not，意思为肯定：对我影响很大), at this moment, there are some little girls watchin
5、g as I become the first black woman to be given this same award.It is an honor - It is an honor, and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them and also with the incredible men and women whove inspired me, whove challenged me, whove sustained(support and maintain) me and made my journey
6、 to this stage possible. Dennis Swanson, who took a chance(risk) on me for “AM Chicago.“ Quincy Jones, who saw me on that show and said to Steven Spielberg, “Yes, she is Sofia in The Color Purple.“ Gayle, whos been the definition of what a friend is. And Stedman, whos been my rock(the person i can r
7、ely on). Just a few to name.Id like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Because we all know that the press is under siege(being criticized ) these days. But we also know that it is the insatiable(greedy) dedication(devotion or commitment) to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us
8、from turning a blind eye to corruption(dishonest or illegal behavior,especially of people in authority) and to injustice. .to tyrants( merciless ruler) and victims, and secrets and lies.I want to say that I value the press more than ever before as we try to navigate (sail/ find the right way)these c
9、omplicated times, which brings me to this. What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And Im especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories.Each of us in this ro
10、om are celebrated because of the stories that we tell, and this year, we became the story. But its not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. Its one that transcends (exceed/go beyond)any culture, geography, race, religion, politics, or workplace. So I want tonight to express gratitude(f
11、eeling of being grateful) to all the women who have endured years of abuse and assault(attack) because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue. Theyre the women whose names well never know. They are domestic workers and farm workers. They are working in facto
12、ries, and they work in restaurants, 05:08 and theyre in academia, in engineering, in medicine, in science. Theyre part of the world of tech and politics and business. Theyre our athletes in the Olympics, and theyre our soldiers in the military, and theres someone else.Recy Taylor. A name I know and
13、I think you should know, too. In 1944, Recy Taylor was a young wife and a mother. She was just walking home from a church service shed attended in Abbeville, Alabama, when she was abducted by six armed (using weapons)white men, raped, and left blindfolded by the side of the road coming home from chu
14、rch. They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone, but her story was reported to the NAACP where a young worker by the name of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case, and together, they sought justice. But justice wasnt an option in the era of Jim Crow. The men who tried to destr
15、oy her were never persecuted. Recy Taylor died 10 days ago, just shy of her 98th birthday. She lived, as we all have lived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally(without mercy-n.brutality) powerful men.And for too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare to speak their truth
16、 to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up! Their time is up. And I just hope - I just hope that Recy Taylor died knowing that her truth, like the truth of so many other women who were tormented in those years, and even now tormented(torture), goes marching on. It was somewhe
17、re in Rosa Parks heart almost 11 years later, when she made the decision to stay seated on that bus in Montgomery, and its here with every woman who chooses to say, “Me too.“ And every man - every man who chooses to listen. In my career, what Ive always tried my best to do, whether on television or
18、through film, is to say something about how men and women really behave, to say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage(v.show great anger/n. ), how we fail, how we retreat, persevere, and how we overcome. Ive interviewed and portrayed(play;represent;depict 个人认为取“扮演”之意) people whove wit
19、hstood (withstand/endure/bear)some of the ugliest things life can throw at you, but the one quality all of them seem to share is an ability to maintain hope for a brighter morning, even during our darkest nights. So I want all the girls watching here and now to know that a new day is on the horizon（
20、在地平线上；即将来临的）! And when that new day finally dawns(n. 黎明；开端 vt. 破晓；出现；被领悟).It will be because of a lot of magnificent (extrordinary,incredible)women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, 08:56 and some pretty phenomenal(adj. 现象的；显著的；异常的；能知觉的) men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say “Me too“ again.（这句 “Times Up”和“Me Too”，都代指今年的好莱坞反性侵运动“Times Up”。而奥普拉的金球奖演讲，无疑向全世界打响了这场 “反性侵战争” 。）Thank you
