女大法官金斯伯格

Neither of my parents had the means to attend college, but both taught me to love learning, to care about people, and to work hard for whatever I wanted or believed in. 父母的影响热爱学习关心他人为自己深信和想要的努力 She's a deep thinker. 深度思考者 She had two... lessons that she repeated over and over. "Be a lady" and "be independent." "Be a lady" meant don't allow yourself to be overcome by useless emotions like anger. And by "independent," she meant it would be fine if you met prince charming and lived happily ever after. But be able to fend for yourself. 独立的淑女 One of the sadnesses about the brilliant girls who attended Cornell is that they kind of suppressed how smart they were. But Marty was so confident of his own ability, so comfortable with himself, that he never regarded me as any kind of a threat. 不得已在交往中掩饰自己的聪明才智 But marching and demonstrating just wasn't Ruth's thing. Her thing was to use the skills she had and put them to work and those were her legal skills. 运用自己的技能 She always addressed whatever point there was. There wasn't any peripheral element of it. No small talk. 直击要点 But there was the sense and there still is the sense, that nice girls don't speak up, nice girls don't make demands. too bad. 好女孩不要求什么的氛围 sex discrimination 性别歧视 I think generally in our society, real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time. 真正的变革持久的变革是一次一步地发生 The legal strategy of one step at a time in the '70s was a conservative strategy but the goal was equality and civil rights, and that's who she always was and who she is now. 70年代她的一小步是保守策略目标是平等和公民权利 She is very disciplined but she has passions that she really enjoys. She loves the opera. 严于律己并且情感丰富 歌剧 I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of the music, the drama. And the sound of the human voice, it's like an electric current going through me. 音乐的美 Justice and mercy, they're all in opera. Very grand emotions. 公正与仁慈都在歌剧中 She wanted to build the idea of women's equality step by step to use each case to move things forward. It was like knitting a sweater. 一步一步 When they would say things like this, how did you respond? Well, never in anger, as my mother told me. That would've been self-defeating. Always as an opportunity to teach. I did see myself as kind of a kindergarten teacher, in those days, because the judges didn't think sex discrimination existed. Well, one of the things I tried to plant in their minds was think about how you would like the world to be for your daughters and granddaughters. 从不在怒气中回应永远把它当做施教的机会 One of the things that I'm struck by, as I look back on it, is how unprepared the defendants were to fight back. We won because the strategy was brilliant, we won because we were smart and prepared and we fought hard. 有准备 As a general rule, my wife does not give me any advice about cooking and I do not give her any advice about the law. 哈哈 Ruth is no longer permitted in the kitchen this by the demand of our children, who have taste. //我怀疑这是故意的就像阿加莎克里斯蒂的失踪哈哈哈 The standard robe is made for a man, because it has a place for the shirt to show and the tie. So Sandra Day O'Connor and I, thought it would be appropriate if we included as part of our robe, something typical of a woman. 衣领 During my long tenure here, I was not the most quote liberal justice on the Court. From the beginning, I think what she was looking for was to build consensus. Even though chief justice Rehnquist and Sandra day O'Connor were conservative justices. They were still justices with which, Ginsburg was able to find common ground. That was her style. 建立共识 He is a very funny fellow. She is a very nice person, she likes opera, what's not to like? Except her views of law of course. 异己的友谊 I see the Constitution, as striving for a more perfect union. 对宪法的阐释方式 She's this supposed famous liberal, he's this supposed famous conservative. She's a Jewish, he's, catholic. She's retiring at times, and he almost never is. And yet as with many great friendships there's chemistry that maybe you can't entirely explain. 观点不同关系融洽 She was never supposed to be the great dissenter but that's the course that history took her on. 我反对 George W. Bush was able to appoint two justices. The addition of Samuel Alito and John Roberts on the Court, pushed it far to the right. 小罗伯特 I hope you will support where I come out and I understand you may not. I will not love you a jot less. I do know where the Notorious RBG came from. It was the rapper, the Notorious B.I.G. I had a picture of one of the tattoos and I showed it to her and she goes "uh!" Why would you do something so permanent? that the spirit of Liberty that imbues our Constitution must lie first and foremost in the hearts of the men and women who compose this great nation a community where the least shall be heard and considered side by side with the greatest. 平等都是争取来的 I'll fight.

“我不是要帮女性争取权利，我是要让男人把踩在女人脖子上的脚拿开”

RBG父母都没能上大学 但是教RBG爱上学习 关心他人 “为了我想要的和相信的东西而战”

母亲叫她做一个淑女（不要被愤怒和负面情绪打倒）保持独立（照顾好自己）

赢得一场辩论的方式不是大叫，这样会让人厌恶

去图书馆时门卫不让她进 说因为你是女人

案例2温伯格诉维森菲尔德案

男性老婆死了却不能得社会保障金，该保障金只保障女性。男性被歧视，无法当家庭主夫。

法官们不认为性别歧视存在

RBG：想想你愿不愿意自己的女儿孙女生活在这样的环境中

卡特总统：大法官都是男性，不是伟大美国应该有的样子

RBG对堕胎的看法：男女平等的本质是，女性要成为自己人生的决策者，当政府控制她堕胎的决定权时，她没有被当作一位有能力为人生完全负起责任的成年人而对待

从保守派大法官身上找到共识

RBG：我认为宪法是为实现一个更完美的国家而努力。

1787年的“我们人民”是谁，女性和非裔都不在其中。

多数决定允许雇主因宗教原因拒绝向雇员提供避孕保险

RBG：女性能平等地参与本国经济及社会生活，正是得益于她们对生育的掌控

My dearest Ruth,

You are the only person i have loved in my life, setting aside a bit parents and kids and their kids.

What a treat it has been to watch you progress to the very top of the legal world.

I have admired and loved you almost since the day we first met at Cornell, some 56 years ago.

The time has come for me to take leave of life because the loss of quality now simply overwhelms.

I hope you will support where i come out, and i understand you may not.

I will not love you a jot less.

据美联社24日报道，美国最高法院推翻“罗诉韦德案”有关堕胎权的裁决，结束了近50年来对堕胎的宪法保护。

当地时间6月24日，美国众议院议长南希·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）发布措辞激烈的声明，她在声明中：“民主党人会继续为将‘罗伊诉韦德案’（的裁决）写入法律而进行不懈斗争。”她说：“由于特朗普、米奇·麦康奈尔、共和党和他们在最高法院的绝对多数，今天的美国妇女比他们的母亲拥有更少的自由。”佩洛西还强调：“但不要忘记，妇女和所有美国人的权利将在今年11月的投票中被决定。”

这里是2022年6月25日，魔幻的世界，各种魔幻的事情在上演。

RBG无愧是全民偶像，她是一个时代女性的精神领袖，是狂欢的娱乐盛宴之后，理性的灰烬镌刻的文化符号。Be a lady and be independent，之于我们，之于RBG，不仅仅是一个标语，一个座右铭，而是切切实实有筋骨有血肉的人生演绎。言辞的力量在于其理性的内核和它捍卫的价值，安静温和的RBG总是在平和的语调之中击中问题要害，气场无敌太有魅力。在观影过程中，忍不住为Ruth和Marty的爱情数度落泪，尤其是读到Marty 临终前的肺腑之言: “你是我一生中唯一爱过的人…见证你一步一步走到了法律世界的巅峰，我真的开心极了。从五十六年前我们在康奈尔相识的那天起，我便从未停止对你的欣赏与爱慕。该是我和生命告别的时候了……不管怎么样，我都不会少爱你，一分一毫。” 她哽咽地读完了他临终时留在病床前的信，然后继续奔走在为两性平权与解放奋战的前线。她被写进“臭名昭著”的饶舌里，她的面庞嫁接在神奇女侠的盔甲上，她被印在新时代青年的衣服上作为信仰标志，她八十岁出演歌剧，她与同自己政见迥异的大法官成为挚友并在大象上合影，她的炸鱼给儿女们留下不小的心理阴影从此被“禁止”踏入厨房，她坚持做俯卧撑和浏览艺术博物馆，她两次罹患癌症并战胜病魔，她在工作日工作到凌晨周末补觉，和我们一样。notorious RBG，what a life!

1.“臭名昭著”的女大法官

大法官在美国是有很大权力的人，美国的最高法院有9位大法官，而且此职位为终身责任制，除非去世、自愿离职或者被国会弹劾，不存在被辞退的情况。

这部纪录片里的金斯伯格大法官正是曾经的9位大法官中的一位。此前金斯伯格于20年9月18日去世，曾任大法官一职27年。

纪录片的开始，是形形色色的人用各种各样的嘲讽式语言调侃金斯伯格的“臭名昭著”，当然我们知道，正是因为大家对她的热爱，才会这样调侃。

因为金斯伯格在各种各样的案件中所表达的观点得到了大家的认可，也就是得到了“民心”，让她成为了年轻人心中几乎与摇滚明星一样的偶像，所以他们称她为“臭名昭著的RGB”。

2.君子如玉

整部纪录片真的好迷金斯伯格大法官的颜，是那种由内而外的美，而且她打官司或者宣布判决或者在讲话的时候声音好好听，这种好听不单单是音色的好听，是声音中传达出来的一种坚定的力量，是睿智、自信、又优雅得体的声音。肉眼可见对面跟她辩驳的律师眼中掩不住的欣赏，她是一个能折服对手成为朋友的人。

在看纪录片之前，我想这位获得无数人热爱的大法官一定是一位法律的斗士，不自觉带入鲁迅先生的影子：横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。

实际上看了这部电影，根本不是这样的。

她是一位大美人，同时沉默寡言，甚至有些羞怯，严肃认真，热爱工作。

她讲她的母亲告诉她一生都要坚持的两件事：一是优雅，就是无论何时不要因为不相关的事情愤怒；二是独立，你可以找到一位白马王子共度余生，但是你要学会照顾自己。

我不知道该怎么形容她的美丽，纵然在纪录片中已经是一位80多岁的老人，仍旧让人觉出她的人格魅力，是那种岁月的衰老无法抹去的东西。我想，那可能就是所谓的君子的品质吧。

3.天行健，君子以自强不息

易经开篇讲“天行健，君子以自强不息；地势坤，君子以厚德载物。”

女孩的性格更多像是坤卦，一定程度体现为：包容性强、理解对方、良好的共情能力、沟通协调能力强、甚至是有一定的坚韧的抗压能力。

但是我们想一想真正能够打动我们的瞬间，或许是雌雄同体的片刻。比如说“张敏回头”或者“铁汉柔情”。阴中有阳、阳中有阴，女子想要获得君子般如玉的人格，可能不仅仅需要发挥长处：地势坤，君子以厚德载物。更应该想一想是不是有做到了“天行健，君子以自强不息。”就如片中的大法官金斯伯格一样。

金斯伯格毕业于上世纪90年代的哈佛大学法学院，她以非常优异的成绩毕业。甚至当时的法学院院长向律师事务所推荐这位优秀的女学生，但是由于她是一名女性，当时又存在严重的性别歧视，她未能获得律所中的工作。

但是，这不意味着她的退缩，此后的一生，她仍旧奉献给法律事业。她为得不到公平薪酬的女性员工争取合法的权益，她为得不到单亲补助的父亲争取社保金，她为因为性别被弗吉尼亚军事学院拒之门外的女学生们争取权益。

她对弗吉尼亚军事学院的男同学们说：我知道你们恨我毁掉了这个学校，但是等着瞧，总有一天，你们会以那些从这里毕业的女学生为荣。（意译，记不住原话了）

她在法庭上不以声音大获胜，相反，她以她专业的态度、坚定的语气、认真的准备获得了大家的尊重。那些对手可能嘲笑她或者讽刺她，但是她并不生气，而是一步一步的朝着自己认为对的，应该争取的方向努力。

我们不能否定，她的努力为那个时候的美国社会带来的改变。

她身上兼具阴阳的力量，既深沉如水，但又无时无刻不积极向上，是燃烧的火焰。

她可真好看，隔着屏幕我都感受到了她在闪闪发光，我也忍不住想买一个印着她的头像的杯子了。

4.向前一步

又说起曾经看过的谢丽尔.桑德伯格的书《向前一步》。

我周围的朋友越来越多的开始结婚生子，作为女性的大家越来越担心在职业生涯上究竟能够做多远。

从理性角度来说，我们都知道，这是无可避免的障碍。但是，不要因此让那颗曾经也雀跃着的、上进的、想要变得更好的心冷却下来。

天行健，君子以自强不息。

我们做不到金斯伯格大法官那样改变社会、改变世界，但我们起码要照顾好自己，相信自己，勇敢的迈向前。

我的朋友，祝你好运。
