人微言不轻 —— 语言改变世界

一支笔，一本书，一个孩子，一位老师就能改变世界？是的，Deborah Ellis是这样认为的。人们不仅能接触世界，影响并改变世界，还能影响自己周围的人，让这些人认识到他们也可以改变世界。

当我们的主持人问到Deborah如何看待创造性，她回答说这有关每个人如何接纳事物，以及将这个事物想象成什么样子。人们大脑对事物的认知，有每个人不同的版本，这也是作为人类令人兴奋的地方。

Deborah为女性和儿童作出了很多贡献。她对阿富汗妇女革命协会的问候，招致了来自塔利班的威胁。但她仍觉得这不是重点，重点应该放在阿富汗女性的现状上。

同时，Deborah的作品主要为孩子们而创作，尤其是那些无家可归的孩子，他们更应该得到保护，以及拥有一个可以任他们自由玩耍的世界。她总是以孩子的眼光创作，以孩子的视野看待世界，并且永远在她作品的结尾给人以希望。

Deborah在她8、9岁的时候，就立志要当一名作家了，但直到她39岁才发表了她第一部作品。期间那些艰难的岁月，Deborah从未放弃过写作和阅读。她最终是如何获得成功的？如果想成为像她一样的作家，你需要做些什么呢？让我们一起来听本期节目吧！

THE RIGHT WORDS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

Deborah Ellis thinks that a pen, a book, a child and a teacher can change the world. Because we can not only reach out to the big world, affect and change the world by ourselves, but also affect the people around us, so they also get a sense of their own possibilities.

Asked about her thoughts on creativity, Deborah thinks that creativity is about how you take what it is and imagine what it can be. You have to use the creative part of your brain to figure things out on your own. That’s part of the excitement of being a human.

Deborah has done a lot to support women and children. Her greetings to the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) brought her threats from the Taliban, but she continues the focus on the women’s plight there.

Besides her work with vulnerable women, she primarily writes for young people, especially for those disposable children that deserve more protection and a world to play. She writes with a child’s eye, in the way children look at things, and in her writing she always finishes with a sense of hope.

Deborah decided to be a writer when she was 8 or 9 years old, but didn’t have anything published until she was 39. In all these difficult years she just kept writing and reading. Want to know how she made it in the end, and what you should do if you also want to be a writer? Let’s listen together to Deborah’s story!
