第八屆21全國大學生英語演講比賽冠軍 顧秋蓓 演講稿(英中)
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I would like to begin with a story.
下午好,女士們,先生們。今天我想以一個故事的開始。
There was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5) cuddled their babies.
曾經是物理 1) 師從美國旅行到非洲做 2) 人口普查有關山地大猩猩 3)。這些大猩猩是主要吸引遊客從全世界 ;這使其嚴重受威脅的 4) 偷獵和被放入動物園。她去了那裡的好奇心,但她所看到的增強她的決心致力於為那些美麗的生物戰的她的整個生命。她見證了一個場景,我們永遠不會拍攝場景,帶我們去一個地方我們已經過,凡在非洲的熱帶雨林,非常深度被包圍的樹木和花蝴蝶,母親大猩猩 5) 懷裡抱著她們的嬰兒。
Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.
是的是一個難忘的場景,在一個我喜歡的電影,叫做大猩猩在霧,基於夫人滇 Fossey,他們花了大部分的賭一生在盧旺達她生命的最後才保護的生態環境有一個真實的故事。
To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.
對我來說,這部電影不僅提出了一個令人難忘的場景,但還充當 6) 永恆的提醒我們不應以我們的生態環境為代價的發展旅遊產業。
Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.
今天,我們生活在一個繁榮的世界,但仍然受到很多的新問題。一方面,旅遊,作為在 21 世紀,最有前途的行業之一提供好的機會,看到一切都有看到和去有去任何地方的人。它已成為一種生活方式,對一些人來說,已證明是 GDP 增長的驅動力。它有一個落後的小鎮變成了繁榮的仙境魔法。但另一方面,可能會出現很多問題---自然風光不再自然。是災難性的熱旅館的毀尼泊爾。從旅遊船漏油污染南極洲。部落的人都離棄他們的本土音樂和聽取對隨身聽 U2 和穿耐克和銳步的衣服。
All these 7) appalling(令人震驚的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蝕) our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002 the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.
所有這些 7) appalling(令人震驚的) 事實使我們實現我們不再可以袖手旁觀,做什麼,因為很想到這個一直是 8) eroding(侵蝕) 我們的資源。令人鼓舞的是,全球旅行爆炸式的增長已把旅遊再次在聚光燈下,這就是為什麼聯合國作出了 2002年年度的生態旅遊,第一次提請全世界注意旅遊,但也摧毀我們的生態環境及其能力的好處。
Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(殘疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.
現在每年,許多地方生態環境保護組織: 接收捐贈 — — 大筆記、 小筆記或甚至硬幣 — — 從家庭主婦、 9) plumbers(水管工人)、 救護車司機、 銷售人員、 教師、 兒童和 10) invalids(殘疾人),有些人不能再寄錢,但他們這麼做。這些是那些那些開計程車,醫院的護士,從生態環境的破壞,他們的鄰居遭受痛苦的人。為什麼呢?因為他們關心的。因為他們仍然想要回他們的母親性質。因為他們知道它仍屬於他們。
This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.
這種感覺,我有,女士們,先生們,是時感覺就像它,聞起來如此,和看起來像它,而來自一個場景,要記住,現場回收,並珍惜。
The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seem to have been except the deer.
那天晚上,作為 l 看見月亮徘徊在土地上,為無形在發送之前,我的心充滿了歌。我發現自己細語,哼,不是音樂,而是一些-什麼嗎,其他地方。想起了一個地方,一個地方不動,那裡沒有人看來已經是除鹿草的一個欄位。
And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.
所有那些令人難忘的場景加強的感覺就是石灰為我們做什麼,為我們自己和我們下一代。
Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.
再一次,我是來認為的太太滇 Fossey,因為它是與她的精神、 激情、 勇氣和強烈的我們的生態環境我們正在我們下一步走向世界。
And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.
不管是誰,我們做什麼和我們到哪裡,在我們的心中總是有一個場景,要記住,值得我們努力保護它和戰鬥場景
Thank you very much.
謝謝。
