　　篇1

　　12歲的鈴木瑟玟***Severn Suzuki***在1992年裡約世界高峰會上，對全世界環境部長髮出警語，她的演說簡單扼要卻直指人心，要求「大人們」對於環保要說到做到，否則就是對下一代的不負責任。

　　Hello, I’m Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. – The Environmental Children’s Organisation.

　　大家好，我是Severn Suzuki，我代表兒童環境組織來此演講。

　　We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.

　　我們是一個十三四歲的小群體，我們想改變些什麼：Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg和我。我們自己掙錢支援我們來到這裡，旅行5000英里只為告訴你們成年人，你們必須改變你們的生活方式。今天我來到這裡，我背後沒有任何經紀人，我們為我們的未來而戰。

　　Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.

　　失去未來不像落選選舉或者股市浮動那麼簡單，我來到這裡是為了將來所有的世代而演講。

　　I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.

　　我演講是為了世界所有忍受飢餓的兒童，而他們的哭泣卻無人聽見。

　　I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard.

　　我為這個行星上無數正在垂死的動物而演講，因為它們幾乎已經無處容身了。

　　I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are in it.

　　我現在害怕晒太陽，因為臭氧層出現了空洞。我現在害怕呼吸空氣，因為我不知道那裡有多少化學物質。

　　I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day — vanishing forever.

　　以前和我爸爸經常在vancouver釣魚，但在近幾年卻發現魚的身上到處是癌細胞。我們每天都會聽說有的動物和植物絕種，那是永遠消失的事情。

　　In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterfilies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.

　　我一生的夢想就是能看到成群的野生動物，茂盛的叢林和大片的雨林中到處是鳥類和蝴蝶在飛舞。但是現在我想知道我們這些小孩是否還能再看到它們?

　　Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?

　　在您那個年代，您曾經擔心過我們現在擔心的事嗎?

　　All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realise, neither do you!

　　所有這一切就發生在我們眼前，然而我們還是一直向大自然無度索取我們所需要的。我僅僅是個孩子，我不知道該怎麼辦。 但我們這些孩子——這個星球的未來需要讓您認識到，您不能說沒辦法!

　　You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You don’t know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream. You don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct.And you can’t bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert. If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!

　　您不知道怎麼去修補大氣的臭氧空洞，您也不知道怎麼去從死亡的河流中拯救魚類，您更不知道如何把滅絕的動物復甦，您也不能把沙漠中從前完整的森林帶回來。如果您不知道如何拯救，那麼請您停止破壞吧!

　　Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organisers, reporters or poiticians – but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and uncles – and all of you are somebody’s child.

　　在這裡，您可能是您政府商業人士的代表、組織者、記者或政客。但您們也是父親和母親、兄弟和姐妹、阿姨和叔叔，你們都會或多或少的為了下一代而活著。

　　I’m only a child yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, 30 million species strong and we all share the same air, water and soil — borders and governments will never change that.

　　我只是一個小孩，但我知道我們都是一個大家庭的成員，超過60億人的大家庭，以及超過三千萬物種的大家庭，政府和國界永遠都無法改變這個事實。

　　I’m only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.

　　我身為小孩都知道，我們在地球的母親懷中都是孩子。我們應該為了相同的目的進行相同的行動!

　　In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel.

　　然而事實卻讓我很憤怒，但我也很清醒，我雖然害怕，但我敢於告訴世界我真實的感受。

　　In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.

　　在我的祖國，我們製造瞭如此之多的垃圾，我們購買商品，我們隨之丟棄，買來，再丟棄。然而有些國家，有些人，卻不會分享給那些真正需要的人們，甚至他們擁有的遠遠超過自身需要的時候。他們害怕分享，害怕失去自己的財富。

　　In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter — we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.

　　在加拿大，他們過著特權般的生活，他們有很多食物、房子和水。他們擁有很多手錶，汽車，各種電器和奢侈品。

　　Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: “I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection.”

　　在巴西，我被2天前見到的情景震驚了，那時我和當地的小孩在玩耍，其中一個小孩說：“我希望我能富裕起來，然後我會給這個街道所有的小孩飯吃，給他們衣服穿，醫療，住房和愛”。

　　If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everyting still so greedy?

　　如果一個孩子在自己一無所有的時候都能願意分享，為什麼擁有一切的大人卻如此貪婪?

　　I can’t stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favellas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.

　　我永遠不能忘記這些和我同齡的孩子，當你出生的時候，他和我們真的很不相同，我也許生活在貧民窟，也可能是終日餓著肚子的小孩，也可能是中東戰爭的犧牲品，或者印度的小乞丐。

　　I’m only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be!

　　我只是一個小孩，然而我知道，要是把花在戰爭上的錢，用在找尋環境問題答案上來，或用在結束貧窮並找到解決的方案上來，這個星球將是個多麼美好的地方啊!

　　At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. You teach us: not to fight with others, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share – not be greedy.

　　在學校，甚至在幼稚園，你們大人教我們如何處世，你們告訴我們不要打架，要尊重對方。找出答案，解決矛盾。去分享，而不是貪婪。

　　Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?

　　你們大人為什麼去做與你們教導孩子相反的事情呢?

　　Do not forget why you’re attending these conferences, who you’re doing this for — we are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying “everyting’s going to be alright” , “we’re doing the best we can” and “it’s not the end of the world”.

　　不要忘記你們為何而來到這裡開會，你們為誰做事情?我們是你們的下一代，你們正在決定我們將要在一個什麼樣的環境中成長，父母需要能夠寬慰孩子們，告訴他們“一切都沒問題，那不是世界末日，我們正在盡其所能的改變”。

　　But I don’t think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says “You are what you do, not what you say.”

　　但我不能再相信這樣的話了，孩子們還是你們的優選名單嗎?我爸爸總是說：“聽其言，觀其行，是認識一個人最好的方法”。

　　Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown ups say you love us. I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening

　　然而，你們所做的事讓我在夜晚哭泣，你們成年人說你們愛我們，我不會再相信了，因為只有行動和語言的合一，才是找回信任和未來的唯一方法!謝謝!

　　篇2

　　The celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd began in the United States in 1970 and was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson, who had long pondered about finding a way to "put the environment into the political 'limelight' once and for all" . Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. There are many ways that you can celebrate alone and with others.

　　1970年，美國的民主黨參議員蓋洛德·尼爾森提議將每年的4月22日立為“地球日”。他表示自己思慮許久，想找到一種能“一勞永逸地讓環境問題走進政治舞臺的聚光燈下”的辦法。地球日是個適合用來反思“我為保護環境到底做了些啥”的日子。以下是一些推薦可以供你採納，可以獨自一人進行也可以跟別人一起。

　　1. Plant trees

　　種樹

　　As the date also roughly coincides with U.S. Arbor Day, over time Earth Day has taken on the role of tree-planting. Planting trees helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cleans pollution, secures soil in place to prevent erosion, and provides homes for a lot of biodiversity.

　　地球日距美國的植樹節很近，久而久之，地球日已經差不多變成了植樹日。多植樹能幫助減少溫室氣體排放、減輕汙染、保護土壤免遭腐蝕，併為生物多樣化提供良好的環境。

　　2. Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long

　　減少浪費、加強回收利用

　　Buy as little as possible and avoid items that come in lots of packaging. Support local growers and producers of food and products - these don't have to travel as far and so reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Take your drink container with you, and don't use any disposable plates or cutlery. Recycle all the things you do use for the day or find other uses for things that you no longer use. Carry a cloth bag for carrying things in and recycle your plastic bags.

　　少買些東西吧，尤其是那些包裝過度的玩意兒。支援本地產品***無論是食物還是別的***——因為這些東西所需的運輸距離短，從而能減少溫室氣體排放。隨身帶個水杯，儘量不用一次性餐具。回收利用那些日常生活用品，併為那些不常用的物品發掘新的用途。多用布袋子、回收塑料袋。

　　3. Rid litter

　　清掃垃圾

　　Rid litter from our roadways. Many groups use the weekend of Earth Day to clear roadways, highways and neighborhood streets of litter that has accumulated since the last clean-up day. Many companies donate gloves and bags for clean-up groups and villages organize bag pick ups. Once the group has collected the trash and placed the recycled bags along the road, get the village public works department to pick the bags up. It's a wonderful community project. Great for scout troops, rotary clubs and the like.

　　清掃馬路上的垃圾。很多群體會在地球日的週末集體清掃馬路、高速公路以及社群馬路，掃除那些自上個清掃日以來堆積成山的垃圾。很多公司會捐贈手套和垃圾袋給清潔團體和村莊，組織收集垃圾。當清潔團體收集好垃圾並將它們堆放在道路兩旁後，村莊的公益組織會前來集中收集垃圾袋。這是個非常棒的社群專案，非常適合童子軍、扶輪社***譯者注：一個歷史悠久的全球性公益組織***以及其他類似的公益團體。

　　4. Sing or listen to "Earth" songs

　　聆聽或唱地球主題歌

　　There are many Earth Day song lyrics available on the Internet. Many follow well-known tunes. These make a fantastic classroom activity and help younger children to become interested in environmental topics. For listening, iTunes has many songs about the Earth for downloading: try searching for words such as "planet", "Earth", "endangered", "pollution" etc. One example being "Earth Day" by Devin Townsend.

　　網上充斥著很多與地球日相關的歌曲。它們之中的大部分有著耳熟能詳的曲調，是很好的班級活動素材，能幫助孩子們對環保問題產生興趣。想聽的話，可以去iTunes下載：搜尋類似“星球”、“地球”、“瀕臨”、“汙染”之類的關鍵詞就行。比方說，加拿大樂隊歌手Devin Townsend就有首“地球日” 的歌。

　　5. Wear green and/or brown

　　穿綠色或棕色的衣服

　　Dress in environmental colors for the day; think "tree"! Wear badges if you have them that carry pithy summaries of your environmental views.

　　地球日當天不妨穿與環境相融的顏色的衣服吧。比如樹木一樣的綠色!如果有言簡意賅的徽章也不妨戴著，正好能表達你對於環保的觀點。

　　6. Engage others in conversations about your environmental concerns

　　與他人談論你對環境的看法

　　Don't be bossy or pushy, just tell people some facts and then explain your feelings about them. Encourage them to respond and if they have no opinions or they seem to not know much, help them learn some more by imparting your environmental knowledge in a friendly and helpful manner.

　　不需要太專橫，也不需要太強求，你只要平靜地和他人談論和環境有關的真相就行，並且加上自己的看法。鼓勵人們和你互動吧：即使他們對你的觀點沒有看法，或根本不瞭解環保行業，也沒關係，只要友好地和他們分享你所知道的環保相關的知識就行，以幫助他們瞭解更多。

　　7. Ride your bike

　　多騎自行車

　　Use your bicycle or other forms of human powered transportation to commute to work or school and to run errands.

　　儘量多使用自行車或其他人力的交通工具來上班、上學和辦事。

　　8. Remember: Every day is Earth Day

　　請記住：每一天都是地球日

　　Anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day. Don't restrict yourself to just one day a year; learn about how you can make a difference to environmental protection all the time. And put it into practice - every day!

　　任何一件能使環境變得更好的事，都是值得在地球日以及任何一天做的事。不要侷限於4月22日這一天。學著去把每天都變成保護環境的“地球日”吧，並堅持踐行之。

　　篇3

　　Hello everyone,I'm ×××.My topic is "we should protect earth". As we all notice,the weather becomes very odd recently.In a month like now,it should be quite warm,but I'm still wearing my winter dresses.It's still rather cold,which shouldn't happen at this season.In summer it's extremely cold while terribly hot in winter.All these factors make earth a unfavourible place to live in. here you can show some pictures or other materials you have collected. We all know that earth is our common mother.We all live in it.She provides us everyting we need.She has been enormously generous to us.We should do our best to care for her. Now before it's too late,I think we should start to take actions.Protect the earth starting from you and me,from what we can do ourselves.For instance,ALWAYS throw rubbish in the bin and etc. Besides,we should try our best to know more about environment protection knowledge.The bad weather has made us suffer a lot.I believe everyone here has the same feeling as mine.I guess that's the price we paid for doing harm to the earth.We have nobody but ourselves to blame for that. At last,have you seen the movie"the day after tommorrow".It's a movie about weather.It's a good one and worth to have a look. THANK YOU!
