嗨，我叫安德列·斯納·麥格納森，

In 2019, we had lost our first glacier to climate change:

2019 年，我們因氣候變遷 失去了第一座冰川。

歐克庫（Okjökull），人稱 OK 冰川，

we expect all our glaciers to follow the same path.

我們預期地球上的所有冰川 都會走上這條路。

Sólheimajökull, in the south coast of Iceland.

現在我所在的這個冰川就是其中之一。

它位於冰島南海岸的塞爾海馬伊庫爾。

I wrote a poem for a plaque that was placed on the mountain

我寫了一首詩，現在刻在一塊銘板上，

"This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening

「這個紀念牌告訴你， 我們知道正在發生什麼事，

My grandparents, they were glacier explorers at times,

只有你知道我們是否做到了。」

舊時，我的祖父母曾在冰川探險，

They went on a glacial honeymoon in the year 1956.

那時以為冰川的存在是永恆的。

For three weeks, they were mapping and traveling Vatnajökull,

他們花了三個月時間 在歐洲最大的冰川瓦特納冰川上

sleeping in tents in extreme temperatures.

And I asked them once, "Weren't you cold?"

我曾經問他們：「你們不冷嗎？」

and now we know that many glaciers will be gone

within the time someone born today becomes as old as my grandmother is now.

We need to start connecting to the future in an intimate and urgent way.

都會在今天出生的人 96 歲之前消失。

My grandmother, she was born in the year 1924.

我們需要趕緊與未來建立密切關係。

the people I will love the most in my life will still be alive in the year 2150.

Because our time is the time of the people that we know and love,

這些我未來最愛的人 在 2150 年的時候還活著。

因為我們的時代是 「現在」相識和所愛的人的時代，

and our time is also the time of the people that we will know and love,

但我們的時代也是 「未來」相識和所愛的人的時代，

從我們認識的前幾代到未來幾代，

When a scientist says 2100, we just shrug; we don't feel connected.

But I asked my grandmother, "Are 100 years a long time or short time?"

科學家說到 2100 年如何如何的時候， 我們只是聳聳肩——跟我們無關。

我問祖母：「100 年很長還是很短？」

I feel like I was traveling the glaciers yesterday."

冰川旅行彷彿是昨天才發生的。」

And I'm quite sure that we want them to look at our time

我們當然希望他們是帶著驕傲和感恩

因為當時我們知道發生了什麼事，

and we actually, eventually, did the right thing.
