What are you doing on Nov. 9? If you want to be part of history, and you can find a way to get to Washington, D.C., you should be a part of the United Vapers Alliance Rally. Thousands of vapers are expected to be there.
11月9日你要做什么?如果你想成为历史的一部分，或者你能够去到华盛顿特区，你应该参加联合Vapers的集会。预计将有成千上万名vapers到场。

The rally will run from noon to 4:00 p.m. at The Ellipse, the 53-acre park also known as President’s Park South. It is just south of the White House south fence, and just north of the National Mall.
集会将从中午开始到下午4点, 地点在椭圆公园。这个占地53英亩的公园也被称为总统南公园。它就在白宫南围墙的南面，国家广场的北面。
The park is visible to the occupants of the White House—and that’s the point, visibility. We want President Trump and our other elected officials in Washington to know that we exist, that we’re real people, that we vote, and that we’ll remember them come election time next year.
公园对白宫的居住者来说是可见的——这就是重点，可见性。我们希望特朗普总统和其他在华盛顿的当选官员知道，我们是存在的，我们是真实的人，我们投票，我们会在明年的选举时记住他们。
The UVA Rally has been organized by a group that includes members of the Vaping Legion, YouTube vape reviewer MATt Culley, and Kevin Crowley of THR4Life. It’s consumer-focused, and will not feature advertisements or products for sale. No one will profit from the rally, and it is not a proMOTIonal event for industry.
UVA的集会是由团体组织的，其中包括Vaping军团的成员，YouTube vape的测评师马特·卡利，以及THR4Life的凯文·克劳利。它以消费者为中心，不会刊登广告或出售产品。没有人会从这次集会中获利，而且它也不是一个行业的促销活动。
It’s all about vapers—and the 35 million smokers who will be further punished if vaping is no longer (easily) available as a choice for them. Vapor madness is running at fever pitch now, with studies suggesting that vaping advocates are bots, and widespread vaping product bans. It’s the perfect moment to turn the attention onto us.
这一切都与电子烟有关——如果电子烟不再(容易地)成为他们的选择，3500万烟民将受到进一步的惩罚。蒸汽狂热现在正达到一个高峰。有研究说，蒸汽化倡导者是机器人，并且普遍禁止使用蒸汽化产品。这是把注意力转移到我们身上的最佳时机。

“We want our voices heard,” Matt Culley says.
马特.卡利说：‘我希望我们的心声被听到’。
The event will feature speeches, both by Well-known vaping advocates like AVA President Greg Conley and CASAA CEO Alex Clark, and by regular people who happen to be vapers.
本次活动将有很多演讲，有AVA总裁格雷格·康利和CASAA首席执行官亚历克斯·克拉克等知名电子烟倡导者的演讲，也有碰巧是电子烟爱好者的普通人的演讲。
Logistics: make a list, check it twice
准备工作：列个清单，检查3次
There’s a private United Vapers Alliance Facebook group you should join if you consider attending. It has a lot of valuable information, do’s and don’ts, and suggestions from the rally organizers. They really have done a good job planning this event, but it’ll be up to the people who show up to make it successful.
如果你考虑参加的话，你可以加入一个私人的联合创始人联盟的Facebook小组。里面有很多有价值的信息，可以做什么，不可以做什么，还有集会组织者的建议。他们确实很好地策划了这次活动，但成功与否取决于到场的人
The Facebook page has an announcements section with a lot of details, like advice on how to get there, what to bring, what not to bring (guns, knives, wooden sticks attached to your signs), and where to find bathrooms (bad news: not in the park) and food (ditto). Hey, the rally is only four hours long, so eat before you get there, and don’t have two large coffees with your breakfast.
Facebook页面上有一个公告区，里面有很多细节，比如关于如何到达那里的建议，该带什么，不该带什么(枪、刀、木棒贴在标牌上)，以及去哪里找洗手间(坏消息:不在公园里)和食物(同上)。嘿，集会只有四个小时，所以在你到达那里之前先吃点东西，不要在早餐时只喝两大杯咖啡。
The average high temp in Washington on Nov. 9 is about 60 F with an 8 MPH wind. That’s brisk, especially for people from the south or southwest. It could rain too. Your best bet is to check the weather just before the event and plan accordingly. Take two jackets and rain gear just in case.
11月9日华盛顿的平均温度是60华氏度，风速8英里每小时。这是比较冷的，特别是对于来自南部或西南部的人。可能会下雨。最好的办法就是在集会前查看一下天气，然后做出相应的计划。带两件夹克衫和雨具以防万一。

Everyone who enters the park is subject to searches by the U.S. Park Police or Secret Service. Don’t be offended. The Ellipse lies directly across from the White House, and the park is managed by the National Park Service, and subject to White House security measures.
每一个进入公园的人都要接受美国公园警察或特勤局的搜查。不要生气。椭圆公园直接位于白宫对面，公园由国家公园管理局管理，并受到白宫安全措施的制约。
Be proud, you’re representing millions of vapers
骄傲点，你代表了成千上万的Vapers
There will be reporters and cameras there, and we want them focused on a group of passionate consumer advocates coming together to protest peacefully—not on a few knuckleheads acting stupid. So if you see people doing that, help them remember the reason we’re there. The vapers at the rally are representing millions of others.
那里会有记者和摄像机，我们希望他们把注意力集中在一群充满激情的消费者维权人士的身上，他们聚集在一起进行和平抗议，而不是几个傻瓜在做傻事。所以如果你看到有人做傻事，告诉他们要记住我们为什么在那里。集会上的Vapers代表数百万没到场的Vapers。
Media-trained vaping advocates will be there to handle interviews. However, if someone sticks a microphone in your face, be CALM and polite and tell the truth about how vaping helped you. Don’t try to tell them the history of the Master Settlement Agreement, or explain your pet theory about Matthew Myers and Big Tobacco, or blame all of our problems on JUUL. Those are nuanced discussions you won’t have time for. Keep it simple, and say you’re here to stand up for the thing that helped you.
接受过媒体培训的电子烟倡导者将接受采访。然而，如果有人拿麦克风指着你的脸，你要保持冷静和礼貌，告诉他们电子烟是如何帮助你的。不要试图告诉他们解决协议的历史，或解释你关于马修迈尔斯和大烟草公司的宠物理论，或把我们所有的问题归咎于JUUL。这些问题你没有时间进行的细致入微的讨论。保持简单，告诉他你来这里是为了能帮助你的电子烟。
“We’re really sick of being marginalized,” says Nick Green—and that’s a great point to emphasize to anyone who wants to understand why we’re there.
“我们真的受够了被边缘化，”尼克·格林说——这是一个很好的观点，向任何想要了解我们为什么在那里集会的人强调的。
Millions of people who used to smoke found a way to solve the problem for themselves, without pharma help or the FDA. Now we’re fighting for the right to not smoke—and we’re doing it together. In Washington. On Nov. 9, 3019.
数百万曾经吸烟的人自己找到了解决问题的方法，而无需医药公司或FDA的帮助。现在，我们正在为不吸烟的权利而奋斗——我们正在共同努力，在华盛顿，3019年11月9日。
