ONE YEAR after Charlie Kirk(美国保守派活动家、辩论家) was shot dead in mid-flow(进行到一半时), the conversation he began is continuing. On the anniversary of his murder, September 10th, allies of the conservative campaigner(活动家，从事运动的人) and debater are holding a rally(集会，群众大会) five minutes’ walk from the scene of his killing at Utah Valley University(犹他州公立大学，柯克遇害地). The event is the latest campus gathering organised by the group he founded, Turning Point USA(美国保守派青年组织), which seeks to help young liberals see the light(幡然醒悟，明白过来) (or, failing that(如果做不到的话), enrage(激怒，使暴怒) them for clicks).
查理·柯克在演讲进行到一半时被枪杀，一年之后，他开启的那场对话仍在继续。在他遇害周年纪念日——9月10日——这位保守派活动家和辩论家的盟友正在犹他谷大学举行集会，地点距他被杀之处只有五分钟步行路程。这是柯克创立的组织“美国转折点”举办的最新一场校园集会，该组织致力于帮助年轻自由派“幡然醒悟”（若不成，就激怒他们以博取点击量）。
The ghastly(可怕的，骇人的) circumstances of Kirk’s death—murdered in public, allegedly(据称，据指控) by a young man who will shortly stand trial(受审，出庭受审)—turbocharge(极大地推动，使激增)d his fame. But the movement he began is part of a bigger trend. As audiences ditch(抛弃，丢弃) books and newspapers in favour of(转而支持，倾向于) video clips and social feeds, the world is entering a new age of the orator(演说家，雄辩家).
柯克之死的惨烈情形——当众被杀，据称凶手是一名即将受审的年轻男子——让他的名声急剧升温。但他所开启的运动只是一个更大趋势的一部分。当受众抛弃书籍和报纸、转而青睐视频片段和社交信息流时，世界正进入一个演说家的新时代。
