So in 2008, I founded a nonprofit to teach design and construction skills to middle and high school students, specifically young women of color.
所以在2008年，我成立了一个非营利组织，向中高中学生，特别是有色人种的年轻女性教授设计和建筑技能。
nonprofit [ˌnɑːnˈprɑːfɪt] adj.非营利性，这里引申为非营利性组织，做名词 women of color 有色人种的女性
Now, nearly 14 years later, that nonprofit, Girls Garage, has taught over 1,000 girls and gender-expansive youth how to use power tools...how to use power tools, weld, draft construction documents and work on a job site. And together we have built over 150 pro-bono projects for other nonprofits in our community.
现在，将近14年过去了，那个非营利组织Girls Garage已经教会了超过1000名女孩和性别包容的青少年如何使用电动工具……如何使用电动工具、焊接、绘制建筑图纸以及在工作现场工作。我们一起为社区中的其他非营利组织建造了超过150个无偿项目。
draft construction documents 设计建造图纸
When young women walk into Girls Garage, they're acknowledged as capable and whole. They are taught by female instructors who are architects and carpenters and welders, who have lived lives and who've walked paths similar to their own. When a student uses the chop saw for the very first time, I'm standing right next to them saying: You got this. And these are the things that make the difference.
当年轻女孩们走进“女孩车库”，她们被认可为有能力且完整的个体。她们由女性导师教授，这些导师是建筑师、木匠和焊工，她们的生活和经历与学生们相似。当学生第一次使用圆锯时，我站在他们旁边说：“你可以的。”这些就是产生影响的事情。
acknowledge [əkˈnɑːlɪdʒ] vt.承认 lived 这里是live的过去分词，后面的lives是life的复数形式 make the difference 产生影响
And so the next generation of tradeswomen, our students, will enter the trades knowing what it feels like to be respected and valued and will know how to demand it when they're not. I may not have had a female mentor on my first construction site. But I can pay forward what I lacked to the 16-year-old in front of me.
我们的下一代女性，我们的学生，将会参加工作，知道被尊重和重视是什么感觉，也知道当她们没有被尊重时要如何赢得尊重。我可能在我第一个建筑工地时没有遇到女性导师。但我可以将我所缺乏的传递给面前的16岁年轻人。
In step with other youth organizations and apprenticeship programs, we're creating strong communities of tradeswomen as a microcosm for what we believe the industry needs at a macro level. We're filling their toolboxes with drills and saws and ferocity and joy.
与其他青年组织和学徒计划同步，我们正在构建我们认为这个行业宏观上所需的强大的女性集体的缩影。我们往她们的工具箱里装满电钻，电锯，无畏和乐趣。
microcosm [ˈmaɪkroʊkɑːzəm] n.缩影 drill [drɪl] n.电钻 v.训练 saw [sɔː] n.v 锯 ferocity [fəˈrɑːsəti] n.凶猛、残暴、无畏
These are the young women who will go forth to build the world we all want to see. So when I picture a construction site, they are the crew that I imagine. This is my actual Girls Garage crew, the construction crew of my dreams. This is not a pipe dream. It's already a reality, but one that we must name and nurture and multiply. It is our job now to demand unconditional support for tradeswomen in their quest to play a vital role in the construction of our world.
年轻女性终将向前，创造我们都想看到的世界。当我想象一个建筑工地时，她们是我想象中的施工人员。她们是女孩车库的女孩们，我梦想中的施工人员。但这不是痴人说梦。这已经是一个现实，也是一个我们要为之命名，予之抚育，使之成长的现实。我们现在的任务是要无条件支持女性工人支持她们追寻在建设这个世界的过程中扮演更加重要的角色。
go forth 走向前 name 这里是为之命名，nurture是提供营养，这里可以意译为抚育，multiply [ˈmʌltɪplaɪ] 原意是乘以，成倍增加，这里意译为使之成长 unconditional support 无条件地支持 play a vital role in 在..扮演重要角色
