My name is Jane Goodall and my age is 80. My job is giving people hope. I learned from my mother so much the importance (I think) of support. Because when I was a child,my mother supported all my crazy love of animals. When I wanted to go off to Africa at age 10, everybody laughed at me. She supported me and she simply said, which I took to heart and repeated again and again,that “ if you really want something, you have to be prepared to work very hard, take advantage of opportunity and above all never give up.” 我是珍·古道尔博士,我的年龄是80岁。我的责任是带给人希望。从小我就从妈妈身上学到了给予别人支持的重要性。当我还是个孩子的时候,我妈妈就全力支持我对于动物的狂热。十岁的时候我想去非洲,别人都嘲笑我。但是妈妈却支持我,而且她说了句我一直铭记在心并且不断重复的话,“如果你非常渴求完成一件事,你必须准备付出努力,把握机会,最重要的是永不放弃。In my life right now, I’m 80, there’s so much left to do. So I would like to go back and give myself a bit longer. But as it is, I don’t know how long I have to live, but certainly, it is that every year it takes me closer to the end, whenever that end is. So there’s this feeling of desperation. So many places I want to go, so many people I want to talk to, so many hearts to reach. I’m just me and I try to use this electronic stuff. It does work, to a certain extent. But it’s not the same as being there, and sensing a person, and trying to get in where it seems impossible to go. 我的人生走到第八十年了,未完成的事还有很多。所以我很想变年轻,给自己多一点时间去完成使命。但现实是我不知道我还可以活多久,但可以肯定的是每年我都在走向未知的终点。我感觉很遗憾,我还有很多地方想去,有很多人想与之交淡,有许多心灵想要去触动。我能力有限,因此尝试了使用电子媒体的力量。但是电子媒体的效果不如排除万难亲临现场真正感知一个人。Education is not the sort of education that we think about when children go to school. I think education is learning from experience. I think we continue to be educated throughout life. And I think everyday brings its own kind of education, and we can learn from it. If we keep our eyes open, our ears open and think every day as an adventure, then each day will give us a lesson. 教育并不仅仅是人们普遍想到的孩子们上学。我认为教育是从实践中学习。我们在一生中不断接受教育。生活中每天都有教育,我们能从中学习。如果我们能够观察、聆听,并且把每一天当做一场探险,那么每天都会给我们启迪。I have many kinds of happiness. I’m completely happy when I’m alone in nature. I love to be alone in nature. It makes me very happy. I’m really happy when I sit around with friends in the evening, particularly around a campfire. We can tell stories, drink a bit of red wine. I’m totally happy when I’m walking with a dog because dogs make me really, really happy, because you can just be yourself with a dog. A dog is always himself or herself with me. When I was a child, my great teacher was a dog. A dog who taught me that we’re just part of the animal kingdom, and that we are not the only beings with personalities, and minds capable of reasoning, certainly not the only being with emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, despair. Nor are we the only beings capable of giving and receiving love. 我快乐的来源很多。在自然中独处的时候我很快乐。我喜欢在自然中独处,这让我非常开心。特别是夜晚与朋友们围坐在篝火旁的时候,我很快乐。我们可以讲讲故事,品尝一点儿红酒。和狗狗一起散步时我也很快乐,狗狗们让我非常非常开心,因为与狗相处时你可以做自己,狗与我相处也可以永远做自己。而且在我小的时候,家里的狗狗是我的良师。让我感悟到:我们只是动物王国中的一员,不只我们拥有性格与理性思维。当然我们也不是拥有诸如快乐、悲伤、恐惧、绝望等等的唯一物种;也不只我们能够给予和获得爱。The biggest problem we have as environmental activists is to fight the power of money. Because there’s absolutely no question people in government who truly agree, when I talk with them, they agree that, this mine shouldn’t go ahead, that dam shouldn’t be built, or Monsanto shouldn’t be allowed to test its seeds here. But when this… It’s corruption, really. But the might of money, the corporations that hold governments in their hands, because of lobbying power and so forth, it’s really frightening. 作为环保活动者面临的最大问题是与金钱的力量斗争。毫无疑问当我与许多人沟通时他们都同意这个矿不应该挖,那个堤坝不应该建,孟山都(企业)不应该被准许在这里试验种子。但是这些事与金钱产生矛盾,结果实在使人恐惧。If I’m allowed to change a few things, if I just had this magic power, I would like to, without causing any pain or suffering, reduce the number of people on the planet. Because there are too many of us. Our planet has finite resources and we are using them up. And that’s going to mean so much suffering in the future. I would like to alleviate poverty. Because when you are poor, never mind the individual suffering, you destroy the environment because you have to. You have to cut down the last trees to grow a bit of food to feed yourself and your family or to make some charcoal. Or you have to buy the cheapest food, even if that did cause horrendous suffering to animals or child slave labor somewhere else. So alleviate poverty. And maybe the hardest of all, but I really really would love to change, is the unsustainable lifestyle of everybody else. We are just greedy. And I always think of Gandhi’s saying, “This planet can provide for human need, but not for human greed.” That is so right. 如果我能改变一些东西,如果有这种魔力的话,我想在不造成任何痛苦与折磨的情况下减少地球上的人口。因为人类太多了,地球上资源有限,而且我们也快用光了。这将意味着未来大量的苦难。我想要缓解贫穷。因为当你很穷的时候,你不得不为了活下去对环境造成损害。你得砍掉最后几棵树来种一些粮食填饱自己和家人的肚子或者当做柴火。或者你得买最便宜的食物,即使它是通过折磨动物,奴役童工来生产的。所以我想缓解贫穷。也许是最困难,但我非常非常想改变的一点,是我们不可持续的生活方式。人类就是贪婪。我一直记得甘地的话“这个星球可以供应人的需求,而非人的贪欲。”说的太正确了。 同时,在珍博士82岁生日之际,根与芽北京办公室准备了一张原版CD《Triomagico》供大家进行捐购。您可以通过您的捐购这个特殊的形式来支持珍博士的事业。您可以通过以下链接在根与芽北京办公室淘宝店找到,数量不多哦~先到先得!我们将在4月11日统计此次收到的所有订单,并安排发货~我们准备了两种规格供您进行捐购:
