学习时间 | 生态本身就是经济（双语）
6月5日是世界环境日。中国向来高度重视做好生态环境保护工作。周报君摘录了2013年以来中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平关于“生态文明”的经典语录。内容如下：
June 5 marks World Environment Day. China attaches great significance to ecological and environmental protection. Edited excerpts of speeches of Chinese President Xi Jinping, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, on ecological progress since 2013 follow:生态本身就是经济。
The ecological environment itself is the economy.

像保护眼睛一样保护生态环境，像对待生命一样对待生态环境。

摘自2017年5月26日习近平在主持中共十八届中央政治局第四十一次集体学习时的讲话
工业化创造了前所未有的物质财富，也产生了难以弥补的生态创伤。我们不能吃祖宗饭、断子孙路，用破坏性方式搞发展。绿水青山就是金山银山。
Industrialization has created material wealth as never seen before, but it has also inflicted irreparable damage on the environment. We must not exhaust all the resources passed on to us by previous generations and leave nothing to our children, or pursue development in a destructive way. Clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver.
摘自2017年1月18日习近平在联合国日内瓦总部的演讲
过去由于生产力水平低，为了多产粮食不得不毁林开荒、毁草开荒、填湖造地，现在温饱问题稳定解决了，保护生态环境就应该而且必须成为发展的题中应有之义。
In the past, due to low productivity, we had to reclaim land from forest, grassland, and sea to increase grain output, but since our people now have adequate food and clothing, eco-environmental protection should and must become an integral component of development.

保护生态环境，应对气候变化，维护能源资源安全，是全球面临的共同挑战。中国将继续承担应尽的国际义务，同世界各国深入开展生态文明领域的交流合作，推动成果分享，携手共建生态良好的地球美好家园。
Protecting the environment, addressing climate change and securing energy and resources is a common challenge for the whole world. China will continue to assume its due international obligations, carry out in-depth exchanges and cooperation with all other countries in promoting ecological progress, and work with them to promote the sharing of best practices, and make the earth an environmentally sound homeland.
