On Sunday, vegan race car driver Lewis Hamilton secured his seventh Formula One World Drivers’ Championship title after winning the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul, tying the record previously held by legendary German driver Michael Schumacher. Currently considered the sport’s most successful driver, Hamilton completed the race in treacherous rainy terrain to secure his 94th win. Last month, Hamilton secured his 92nd win at the Portuguese Grand Prix, surpassing the win record previously held by Schumacher.

星期天（11月15日），纯素赛车手刘易斯·汉密尔顿在伊斯坦布尔勇夺土耳其大奖赛（Turkish Grand Prix）胜利，第七次成功卫冕年度F1车手世界冠军（Formula One World Drivers' Championship）称号，从而一举追平了此前由德国传奇车手迈克尔·舒马赫保持的F1总冠军纪录。作为目前该项运动公认的最成功车手，汉密尔顿此次是在险象环生的湿滑赛道上拿下了个人的第94次大奖赛胜利。而上个月在葡萄牙大奖赛（Portuguese Grand Prix）场上，汉密尔顿（继续所向披靡）第92次力拔头筹，打破了之前由舒马赫保持的（91次）F1大奖赛获胜纪录。

As the only Black Formula One driver, Hamilton has continually used his fame to fight for racial justice both on and off the track. After his celebrated win over the weekend—which garnered praise from athletes around the world, including plant-based tennis champion Novak Djokovic who sent a message of “plant power” to Hamilton via social media—the 35-year-old athlete took to Instagram to share his thoughts about the victory.

作为唯一的黑人F1车手，汉密尔顿一直利用自己的名声在赛场内外为种族正义（racial justice）而奋斗。汉密尔顿这个周末大捷博得了全世界众多运动员的欢呼喝彩，其中遵循植物性饮食的世界网球冠军诺瓦克·德约科维奇（Novak Djokovic）通过社交媒体发来了一条“plant power”（“植物力量”）的消息给汉密尔顿，而现年35岁的纯素运动员汉密尔顿也在照片墙（Instagram）上分享了自己关于本次比赛胜利的感想。

“Seven World Championships means the world to me, I can’t even describe how much, but there’s still another race we’ve yet to win,” Hamilton said. “This year I’ve been driven not just by my desire to win on the track, but by a desire to help push our sport, and our world, to become more diverse and inclusive. I promise you I am not going to stop fighting for change. We have a long way to go but I will continue to push for equality within our sport, and within the greater world we live in. Equaling Michael Schumacher’s record puts a spotlight on me that I know won’t be here forever … Let’s make it so that opportunity is not something that is dependent on background or skin color.”

“七届世界冠军对我而言特别重要，我甚至无法形容有多么重要，可是我们还有另外一场比赛尚未获胜，”汉密尔顿说道。“今年我不仅仅是冲着赢得比赛而去的，我还想要助力推动我们的体育运动、我们的世界增进多元化和包容性。我向大家保证，我不会停止为变革而战。尽管我们还有很长的路要走，但我会继续为我们的体育运动以及我们生活的更广阔社会努力促进平等。追平迈克尔·舒马赫的纪录让聚光灯打到了我的身上，但我知道这道光不会永远停留在这里……让我们缔造平等吧，从此机会不再取决于个人背景或肤色。”

Hamilton went vegan in 2017 and has since used his platform to promote a variety of issues that involve the environment and animal welfare, including relentlessly urging his followers to go vegan, ditch leather, and boycott animal exploitation for entertainment. Yesterday, with eyes still on him after the historic win, Hamilton shared an Instagram story with his nearly 30 million followers which contained a video of pigs headed to slaughter who were visibly panicked and panting.

汉密尔顿在2017年就成为了一名纯素食者，一直利用自己的社交平台积极宣传各种有关环境和动物福利的议题，并且不断敦促其广大粉丝成为纯素食者、摒弃皮革、共同抵制为娱乐剥削动物的行为等。在取得本次历史性比赛胜利之后，当世人目光还聚焦在他身上时，汉密尔顿昨天又到照片墙上和自己的近三千万粉丝分享了一条快拍视频，揭露了一批被送去屠宰场的猪气喘吁吁、惊恐万状的情景。

“The horrifying things that are happening to animals in order for you to keep eating meat is inhuman. If we can let go of our desires and think of the impact we’re having, maybe with some compassion, together we can help stop this by starving the industry that’s supplying [meat],” Hamilton captioned the video. “It is those of us that eat animal products that are complicit with this happening. Please don’t turn a blind eye, please don’t ignore it. Go plant-based.”

“大家为了继续吃肉而让这些恐怖事情发生在动物身上是不人道之举。如果我们能够放弃自己的部分欲望，并且考虑到个人正在造成的影响，那么或许再加上一些慈悲心，我们齐心协力（放弃肉食）就能够促使供应[肉类]的行业破产，从而彻底终结这类（虐待动物的）恐怖现象，”汉密尔顿为视频配文道。“动物制品的食用者与这类现象的发生实在难逃干系。请不要视而不见，请莫忽视之。请采纳（健康、环保、慈悲的）植物性饮食。”
