2017-06-03 LearnAndRecord

法国总统马克龙6月1日晚间全程用英语发言表达法国对美国总统特朗普决定退出巴黎气候协定的态度。马克龙在英文演讲中表示,法国将继续战斗,而且表示“we all share the same responsibility:Make our planet great again”。

(视频在文末)

Now, let me say a few words to our American friends.Climate change is one of the major issues of our time.It is already changing our daily lives but it is global.Everyone is impacted.And if we do nothing, our children will know a world of migrations, of wars, of shortage.A dangerous world.

现在,让我对我们的美国朋友说几句话。气候变化是我们时代的主要问题之一,它已经在改变我们的日常生活。这是全球性的,每个人都受其影响。如果我们不有所行动,我们的孩子们将会面对一个充满难民、战争和资源短缺的世界,一个危险的世界。

It is not the future we want for ourselves.It is not the future we want for our children.It is not the future we want for our world.

这不是一个我们自己想要的未来,这不是一个我们想要给予我们孩子们的未来,这也不是一个我们想要给我们世界的未来。

*这里用到了演讲里常见的一种修辞:Parallelism

Today, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his decision to withdraw[1] the United States from the Paris Agreement[2].I do respect his decision, but I do think it is an actual mistake both for the US and for our planet.

今天,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布美国退出《巴黎协定》。我尊重他的决定,但我认为,对美国和地球而言,这实际上是个错误。

[1]withdraw: to take or move out or back, or to remove 抽回;取回;提取;撤回;撤离;退出;移回

This credit card allows you to withdraw up to £200 day from ATMs.

联合国已从该国撤军。

[2]the Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement (French: Accord de Paris), or Paris climate accord and Paris climate agreement, is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in the year 2020.

In the Paris Agreement, each country determines its own contribution it should make in order to mitigate global warming. There is no mechanism to force a country to set a specific target by a specific date.

I just said president Trump in a few words a few minutes ago this assessment.

几分钟前,在与特朗普总统的谈话中,我对他说了这样的评价。

Tonight I wish to tell the United States, France believes in you.The world believes in you.I know that you are a great nation.I know your history, our common history.

今晚,我想告诉美国,法国信任你,世界也信任你。我知道美国是一个伟大的国家,我了解美国的历史和我们共同的历史。

To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the President of the United States, I want to say that they will find in France a second homeland.

对于所有科学家、工程师和企业家,还有为美国总统所做的决定而感到失望的那些有责任心的公民们,我想说的是,他们会在法国找到第二个家园。

I call on them: come and work here with us, to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment.I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.

我号召他们来到法国,同我们一起努力,实实在在地解决我们的气候和环境问题。我可以向你们保证,法国绝不会放弃奋斗。

I reaffirm clearly that the Paris Agreement remains irreversible and will be implemented, not just by France but by all the other nations.

我明确重申,巴黎气候协议是不可颠覆的。不仅法国,其它各国也将贯彻实行此项协议。

Over the coming hours, I will have the opportunity to speak with our main partners to define a common strategy and to launch new initiatives.I already know that I can count on[3] them.

几个小时后,我将和我的主要伙伴国进行谈话,界定共同的战略,并启动新的举措。我已经知道,我能够依靠他们。

[3]count on: to be confident that you can depend on someone 依靠(某人);指望(某人) 

You can always count on Michael in a crisis. 

在危急关头你总能依靠迈克尔。 

[ + to infinitive ] 

I can count on my parents to help me. 

我可以指望父母来帮我。

I call on you to remain confident.We will succeed, because we are fully committed.Because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility: Make Our Planet Great Again.

我呼吁大家保持自信。成功将属于我们,因为我们忠诚而坚定。因为不管我们在哪,我们是谁,我们都担负着共同的责任:让我们的星球再次伟大。

Thank you
