奥巴马哥本哈根气候变化大会讲话 Good morning. It is an honor for me to join this distinguished group of leaders from nations around the world. We come here in Copenhagen because climate change poses agrave and growing danger to our people. All of you would not be here unless you -like me -were convinced that this danger is real. This is not fiction, it is science. Unchecked, climate change will pose unacceptable risks to our security, our economies, and our planet. This much we know. 早上好。十分荣幸能与世界各国尊贵的领导人汇聚一堂。我们来到哥本哈根, 是因为气候变化对各国人民构成的严重威胁与日俱增。诸位如果不相信这一危险确 实存在,你们──同我一样──都不会来到这里。这不是凭空虚构,这是科学。如果 不加以制止,气候变化就将对我们的安全、我们的经济和我们的地球构成不可接受 的危险。对此我们都了然于胸。 The question, then, before us is no longer the nature of the challenge -- the question is our capacity to meet it. For while the reality of climate change is not in doubt, Ihave to be honest, as the world watches us today, Ithink our ability to take collective action is in doubt right now, and it hangs in the balance. 因此,我们面临的问题不再是这一挑战的性质,而是我们应对这一挑战的能 力。因为尽管气候变化的现实已无庸置疑,但恕我直言,在今天全世界都注视着我们 的时候,我认为现在我们共同采取行动的能力还难以确定。这个问题事关生死存 亡。 Ibelieve we can act boldly, and decisively, in the face of a common threat. That's why Icome here today -not to talk, but to act. (Applause.)
