1、中國9歲男孩陳鶴途在第25屆聯(lián)合國氣候變化大會的演講Chen Hetus Speech at the UN Climate Change Conference第25屆聯(lián)合國氣候變化大會在西班牙首都馬德里舉行。此次大會最亮眼的莫過于來自中國 的兩位9歲小朋友陳鶴途和黎子琳。陳鶴途是聯(lián)合國最小的演講嘉賓，他從身邊小事出發(fā)， 從向塑料書皮說“no”開始環(huán)保之路，以減塑為主題，呼吁大家把減少對一次性塑料的使用 變成自己生活的一種方式。他和小伙伴黎子琳還在現(xiàn)場發(fā)起了第13向with panda”的倡 議，呼吁大家共同關(guān)注氣候變暖對熊貓生存帶來的威脅受到了來自各國代表的稱贊和響應(yīng)。以下是陳鶴途的演講全文:

2、女士們，先生們，以及尊貴的來賓們：Ladies, gentleman, and distinguished guests: 大家好，我叫陳鶴途，今年9歲，來自中國上海。這是我第一次站在聯(lián)合國的舞臺上發(fā)表演 講，心情有點激動。今天我來到這里，倡議減塑環(huán)保，關(guān)注綠色生活方式!我沒有任何動機， 只是單純希望更多人能傾聽我的心聲。在座的嘉賓只要有一位贊同我的理念，我覺得都是一 件幸福的事情！Hello everyone, my name is Chen Hetu. I am nine years old and come from Shanghai, China. This is my first t

3、ime giving a speech before the United Nations, so I am very excited. I have come here today to advocate for reducing plastic use and living a green lifestyle. I am motivated merely by the hope that more people will hear my voice. As long as there is one person of you who agrees with my views, I will

4、 be happy!今天我的演講聚焦減塑。塑料制品在帶來無數(shù)便利的同時也在改變我們的生活，對地球環(huán)境 產(chǎn)生了污染，這已經(jīng)成為了一個全球共識。研究人員預測，到2050年會產(chǎn)生120億噸塑料 垃圾，人類將“被自己制造的垃圾所淹沒。而中國作為世界塑料制品使用大國，白色污染 防治形勢更不容樂觀！My speech today will focus on reducing plastics. Plastic products provide many conveniences, but have also changed our lives and polluted the environment. T

5、his is the global consensus. Researchers have predicted that 12 billion tons of plastic waste will be produced by 2050, and humans will be “submerged in their own waste.” As China is one of the world,s major consumers of plastic products, preventative measures against white pollution look even less

6、optimistic!塑料書皮就是與兒童日常學習生活中接觸最多的污染源之一。雖說塑料書皮只是一個毫不起 眼的小物件，但在其背后卻牽涉到人類應(yīng)對白色污染、保證自身生態(tài)安全的大課題。Plastic book covers are a source of pollution most commonly encountered in children,s school daily life. Although plastic book covers are just small objects we barely notice, they are behind the major problems o

7、f white pollution and ensuring our own ecological safety that humans must deal with.今年年初，我在學校發(fā)起了 “向塑料書皮說不的活動，從最初的無人理解到逐漸獲得更 多小伙伴理解，到最后全校師生的支持，我的心態(tài)發(fā)生了根本性的轉(zhuǎn)變，我覺得這是一個蠻 酷，蠻不一樣的活動。雖然只一個很小的舉動，但是我覺得這個舉動很暖心，至少它是踏出 第一步的一種嘗試?；蛟S等大家習慣不再使用塑料書皮，而選擇自己動手包書皮，或許就會 發(fā)現(xiàn)減塑其實是一件很容易的事情。At the beginning of this year, I laun

8、ched a campaign at my school to say “no” to plastic book covers. Initially, no one understood, then gradually more of my classmates came around, and finally I had the support of all the teachers and students. In the process, my mindset underwent some fundamental changes. I think this campaign is pre

9、tty cool and quite different. Although it is only a small undertaking, I think it is very heart-warming. At least it is an attempt at taking the first step. Maybe once everyone gets used to making their own book covers instead of using plastic ones, we might realize that reducing plastics is actuall

10、y an easy task.如今許多學校都要求學生使用成品書皮不少還指定使用塑料透明書皮。雖然看起來整齊、美觀，卻帶來一系列新問題。Nowadays, many schools require students to use manufactured book covers, and many also specify transparent plastics. Although they look tidy and beautiful, it creates a new series of problems.首先，使用塑料書皮，容易造成白色污染。每年塑料書皮使用量保守估算也要數(shù)以億計，塑

11、料書皮的厚度比塑料袋要厚，降解所需的時間會更長。First of all, the use of plastic book covers contributes to white pollution. A conservative estimate places the amount of plastic book covers used annually in the hundreds of millions. The plastic book covers are thicker than plastic bags, and so take longer to biodegrade.其次，

12、一些不合格的塑料書皮含有甲醛和苯，對于我們的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)和體格發(fā)育有影響。前不 久，中國深圳市消委會發(fā)布對30款包書皮的測評結(jié)果，5款樣品被檢出鄰苯二甲酸酯類塑 化劑。塑化劑很容易從產(chǎn)品中釋放，可通過呼吸道、消化道、皮膚等途徑進入人體，影響人 體激素系統(tǒng)，可致男孩女性化，也可引起兒童性早熟。Second, some plastic book covers that do not meet regulations contain formaldehyde and benzene, which have an impact on our nervous systems and physical dev

13、elopment. Not long ago, the Consumer Council of Shenzhen released the results of an assay of 30 styles of book covers, and 5 samples were found to contain phthalate plasticizers. These plasticizers are easily released from the products, and can enter the human body through the respiratory and digest

14、ive tracts, or skin, affecting our hormones in a way that can cause boys to become feminized, as well as precocious puberty.中國教育部等四部門于10月共同印發(fā)通知，要求中小學校不得強制學生使用塑料書皮，尤 其不能使用有問題的塑料書皮，努力實現(xiàn)無塑開學季”?？吹叫侣劦哪翘?，我知道我的倡 議并不是一句空空的口號，它理應(yīng)得到更多群體的支持與認可。The Ministry of Education of the Peoples Republic of China and thre

15、e other departments jointly issued a notice in October preventing primary and secondary schools from forcing students to use plastic book covers, especially those problematic ones, and requiring them to work towards a “plastic-free school year. The day I saw the news, I realized that my initiative w

16、as not a vain slogan, and it deserved support and recognition from more groups.我真心希望更多的朋友能夠把減少對一次性塑料的使用變成自己生活的一種方式。I sincerely hope that more friends will be able to incorporate a reduction of disposable plastics into their way of life.但這里要面對的一個重要問題是，越是關(guān)系到每一個人的宏大主題，越是容易讓具體個人感 覺離自己相對遙遠，從而失去針對這一主題進行積極

17、思考、自覺行動的敏感性和主動性。But an important issue to be acknowledged here is that the more this enormous topic involves everyone, the easier it is for individuals to feel it is the responsibility of others, so they are less likely to notice things they can do differently, or to be sensitive and proactive in changing their behaviors.改善環(huán)境不能只指望別人，借著塑料書皮禁令”出臺的契機，我們每一個社會成員更應(yīng)當 采取更多的積極行動，為白色污
