一 · 来处

I · Where we come from

三千年前,我们的祖先从这里出发。独木舟,星辰,洋流。他们横渡太平洋,把人和语言撒在成千座岛上。

Three thousand years ago our ancestors set out from here. Canoes, stars, currents. They crossed the Pacific and scattered people and languages across a thousand islands.

那是航海史上最伟大的一次远航。

It remains the greatest voyage in the history of navigation.

二 · 此刻

II · This hour

今天,这片海上有一座岛。世界级的资源,三十万人,二十种语言。它叫布干维尔。

Today, in that same ocean, there is one island. World-class resources. Three hundred thousand people. Twenty languages. Its name is Bougainville.

它的繁荣,长期以来由别人书写。从今天起,由我们自己书写。

Its prosperity has long been written by others. From now on it is written by us.

三 · 宣告

III · The declaration

一个民族走向自主的时候,土地还是那片土地,海还是那片海。变的是——谁为这片土地上的日子负责。

When a people takes its own future in hand, the land is the same land and the sea is the same sea. What changes is who answers for the days lived on it.

我们宣告:这件事,我们自己负责。

We declare: that responsibility is ours.

四 · 为谁

IV · For whom

我们为三十万人工作。

We work for three hundred thousand people.

我们不作宏大宣告。我们宣告具体:一所卫生站,一门手艺,一个院子里的收成,和一份关于自己过得好不好的记录。

We make no grand declaration. We declare the concrete: a clinic within reach, a skill that earns, a harvest in a yard, and a record of how we are doing.

四件事,缺一件,繁荣就站不住。

Four things. Remove one and prosperity does not stand.

五 · 立誓

V · The vows

  1. 这里的事,这里人说了算。受益名单由酋长会议确认,不由我们定。
  2. 不发钱,给能生钱的东西。救济让人过这个月,资产让人过下一年。
  3. 留下一支会做的人,胜过留下一批货。
  4. 每一笔钱都记在能被外人核对的账上。做不成的,年报里专设一节。
  5. 只做民生。不碰代币,不碰证券,不碰政治,不为商业背书。
  6. This is decided here, by people here. Beneficiary lists are confirmed by the councils of chiefs, not by us.
  7. We do not hand out cash. We give what earns. Relief carries a family through this month; an asset carries it through next year.
  8. Leaving people who can do the work outlasts leaving goods.
  9. Every dollar is recorded in a ledger an outsider can check. What we fail at gets its own section in the annual report.
  10. Social programmes only. No tokens, no securities, no politics, no commercial endorsement.

五条不可让渡。它们比我们中任何一个人活得久。

Five vows, not negotiable. They will outlive every one of us.

六 · 去处

VI · Where this goes

我们要去的地方,不是一个项目,是一条路。

What we are building is not a project. It is a road.

让布干维尔成为太平洋上第一个能自己说清"我们过得好不好"的岛屿;让这条路被所罗门看见,被瓦努阿图看见,被所有还在等别人来写的岛屿看见。

Bougainville will be the first island in the Pacific that can say for itself how it is doing; and that road will be seen in Solomon Islands, in Vanuatu, and in every island still waiting for someone else to write it down.

七 · 一句话

VII · One sentence

我们不是第一家来的。前面来过很多家,走了很多家。这一次不一样——因为我们不走。

We are not the first to come. Many have come before us. Many have left. This time is different — because we are not leaving.

八 · 启程

VIII · We have set out

这片海教会我们怎么航行。现在,我们用它教会这片土地怎么生长。

This ocean taught us how to sail. Now we use it to teach this land how to grow.

我们已经出发。如果你相信这片海还值得一次远航——请与我们同行。

We have already set out. If you believe this ocean is still worth a voyage — come with us.
