凯特王妃 | 保护新妈妈心理健康演讲

Before I begin I know that you'd all want to join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to all those sadly affected by yesterday's terrible hacking in Westminster. We will be thinking of all the families as we discussed the important issues we're here to talk about.

在我开始前，我知道大家都想和我一起送上我们的祝福给昨天恐怖袭击中受害的人们。当我们在这里讨论重要问题的时候我们会考虑到所有的家庭。

I would like to thank best beginnings for inviting me here to introduce the out of the blue series. This collection of films highlights how vital it is to be open about our medicine mental health, especially in the early years of parenthood. Personally the coming of mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However at times it's also being a huge challenge. Even for me who has support at home that most mothers do not.

非常感谢能够被邀请到这里来介绍这个比较忧伤的问题。这个问题突出显示了对于心里问题的开放治疗是至关重要的。特别是在成为父母初期，成为母亲是一个美好而意义非凡的经历，然而有时也是一个巨大的挑战。甚至对于有家庭支持的我来说也是如此。

Nothing can really prepare you for the sheer overwhelming experience of what it needed to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy exhaustion,love and worry all mixed together. Your fundamental identity changes overnight. You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual to suddenly being a mother first and foremost. 

没有什么可以比得过准备成为母亲所需要的经验充满着复杂的情感，有喜悦，疲惫，爱以及担忧交织在一起。你的基本身份在一夜之间发生转变，你从考虑自身主要是因为自己突然之间第一次成为一个母亲。

And yet there is no rule book. No right or wrong, you just have to make it up and do the very best you can to care for your family. For many mothers, myself included this can at times be to a lack of confidence and feelings of ignorance. Sadly for some mothers, this experience could be made so much harder due to challenges with ever in mental health. Two in ten women will suffer mental health issues that can occur during pregnancy in the year after birth. Often clouding their moments of joy with a real sense of darkness and isolation. 

何况还没有教科书，没有绝对的对和错，你能这样做为照顾你的家人做到最好。对于很多母亲，包括我自己有时也会缺乏信心和有被忽视的感觉。对于一些母亲而言，这个经历还会更加困难，因为还有心里健康问题带来的挑战。10个母亲当中有2人都有心里问题。这可能在她们的孕期或者生育后的一年里因为真正的黑暗和隔离感而会抹杀掉她们的快乐时光。

Many of these women also suffer in silence overwhelmed by negative feelings but also afraid to meet to the struggles they might be facing. Due to the fear of shame of what others might think they're not coping.Some of this fear is about the pressure to be a perfect parent pretending we’re all coping perfectly and loving every minute of it.

这些妇女中的人多人变得沉默寡言，被沉重的压力和负面情绪的压抑，也害怕面对挑战。由于担心别人可能会认为这是一种耻辱,而一些压力则来源于想成为完美的父母。假装任何事情都可以应付的，并且爱惜每一分钟。

It is right to talk about motherhood as a wonderful thing, but we also need to talk about it stresses and strains. It's okay not to find it easy and asking for help should not be seen as a sign of weakness.

无可否认当母亲是一件很美好的事情，但我们还应关注到她们的压力和疲惫。认为这段经历是困难也在所难免，寻求帮助不代表是示弱的表现。

If any of us caught a fever during pregnancy we would seek advice and support from a doctor getting help with our mental health is no different our children need us to look after ourselves and get the support we need. 

如果任何人在孕期发烧，我们都会立刻找医生寻求帮助。所以由于心理问题寻求帮助也是一个道理，我们的孩子需要我们保重自己可以得到所需的支持和帮助。

Conversations are crucial, crucial from went mental well-being and they should be part of every day's family life. Talking about a problem with a friend or another trusted person can be the beginning of getting better.

沟通交流非常重要，对身心健康也很重要，并且也是我们每天家庭生活的一部分。和朋友或信得过的人谈谈这个问题是一切变好的开始。

This week as we look forward to Mother's Day I would love to see everyone celebrate and value the fundamental importance that mothers play in family life. Mothers take on an overwhelming responsibility of caring for their families. Their role is vital in providing unconditional love, care and support at home, particularly in the early years of a child's development. 

本周我们期待母亲节的到来，我希望能看到所有人都能庆祝和重视母亲在家庭中扮演的重要角色。母亲承担照顾家庭的重要责任，为家庭提供无条件的爱护，关怀和支持，特别是在儿童成长的早期阶段。

We therefore  should do everything we can to support and value their hard work. The work of best beginning is vital. By providing tools and resources to help parents establish their own confidence and their ownself awareness. Best beginnings and needles mothers and fathers to do the best they can for their families. 

因此我们应该尽一切所能去支持和重视她们辛勤的劳动。好的开始是成功的一半，通过提供工具和资源帮助父母，重塑他们的自信心以及他们的自我价值。最好的开始针对父母为了家庭付出最好的。

The out of the blue films you're about to see are also an amazing example to all parents that starting conversations and asking for support is a real source of strength. They have been creative with real parents talking honestly and openly about their own experience as a parenthood. I now delighted to introduce two brave parents who have contributed to these films Jessica and John Warren. Thank you.

你即将看到的电影中对于所有父母来说都是很好的榜。开始和人沟通以及寻求 帮助，是力量的真正来源。他们与真正的父母一起开创想法，诚实公开地讲述自己为人父母身份的经历。现在我很高兴介绍两位勇敢的父母，他们也参与了这部电影。欢迎杰西卡和约翰·沃伦，谢谢！
