我没资格说这些，但是非常感谢你们的辛勤工作。我很高兴来到这里。非常感谢你们邀请我。谢谢你们，对于我来说很有意义。

So I had one speech prepared for the gathering⁴, but I don't know if somewhere someone had told me you have to tell your, you know, life story. Anyway.

所以我为这次相聚准备了一篇演讲，但我不知道谁跟我说，无论如何必须讲述我的人生故事。

So I don't think my life story is good enough for this gathering. So what I'm going to do is it's called SHE Empowerment. Where do I start? Okay.

然而我觉得我的人生故事并不够好，不适合这次活动，所以下面我要说的是女性自主权，从哪里开始说起呢？

So, generally, I've been called, you know, "the smiling Queen," or something they say out there, but is it too loud? should I? Is it fine? Okay. Okay.

一般来说，大家都知道我被称为“微笑女王”，或者他们在外面说的什么，但是是不是太大声了？我应该被这么叫吗？这样真的好吗？好吧。

So yeah, like I was saying, I always been called "the smiling Queen." And I, yes, of course, I always, always keep smiling.

就像我说的，我经常被叫做“微笑女王”。是的，我总是保持微笑。

For all the love I get for all the appreciation⁵ I get from all of you who watch my films.

感谢所有看过我电影的人对我的爱，感谢你们对我的喜欢。

But you know, one of the other reasons why I smile?

但是你知道我保持微笑的另一个原因吗？

All of us, I'm pretty sure that all the girls here, smile through the sadness, through the loneliness, through the anger, through the frustration⁶, smile is a superpower, you know. Yeah, same thing with me.

我们所有人，我敢肯定这里所有的女孩，在悲伤、孤独、愤怒、挫折中都会微笑，微笑是一种超能力，是啊，我也是。

I keep doing it, and one day, I keep thinking, I'll keep smiling till that day where my smile turns into a real one from the heart.

我一直在这样做，我想我会一直微笑，直到有一天，我的微笑变成了发自内心的微笑。

But yes, this is a superpower. And that's why women are, I think, the most pure.

是的，这是一种超能力。 我认为这就是为什么女人是最纯净的。

I don't know, I don't know how to say the mother is a purest being in the whole world is what they say, right?

我不知道该怎么表达，就像他们说的，母亲是世界上最纯净的。

Yeah. I'm so glad to be born a girl. I'm so glad to be born a girl in this generation.

是的，我很高兴我是一个女孩，生在这个时代的女孩。

Having such people protect us with all that they've got.

有一些人在竭尽他们所能保护我们。

I don't know.I'm just super glad, super proud, and yeah, well. So let me just start introducing myself.

我不知道，我只是很开心，很骄傲，下面我先来介绍一下我自己。

I'm Rashmika. For all those who know me a big, big Hi!

我是拉米卡米，所有认识我的朋友你们好！

And for all those who don't well, I'm an actor in the southern industry, and I hope soon you all get to know me as well.

当然还有一些不太了解我的人，我是来自南印度的一个演员，我希望你们很快也能了解我。

That's for my introduction⁷. I don't think I should go on more on that.

这是我的自我介绍。在这方面我就不多说了。

Well, since I was a really small girl, I still remember all that my mother said was you should never let someone else see you angry, see you cry, see you feel any of the negative emotions because apparently⁸, that's, that's showing your weakness, right?

我还是个小女孩的时候，我记得我妈妈说的一句话：永远不要让别人看到你生气，看到你哭，看到你感受到任何负面情绪，因为很明显，那是在显示你的软弱，对吧？

That's what my mom has always told me. And I think that's one of the reasons why I just don't know what else to do now.

这是我妈妈一直告诉我的。我想这就是为什么我现在除了微笑不知道还能做什么的原因之一。

I actually genuinely⁹ do not know how to cry.

我真的不知道该怎么哭。

Do you know that? Like, I have to work so hard to actually cry on screen, I cannot do it.

你知道吗? 我得非常努力才能在屏幕上哭出来，我做不到。
