現在進行式

頻率副詞

I usually do a whole spiel about sustainability

because a lot of people out there don't know what that is.

我常會滔滔不絕的談論有關可持續性，

This is a crowd that does know what it is,

因為很多人都對這個話題不熟識。

so I'll like just do like the 60-second crib-note version. Right?

這裏是一羣熟識這個話題的人，

So just bear with me. We'll go real fast, you know?

因此我只會作一個六十秒的短版。 好嗎？

那請給我少許耐性。我們隨著會說得很快，

So, you know, sustainability, small planet.

Right? Picture a little Earth, circling around the sun.

論到可持續性，我們有的是一個小行星。

對嗎？ 試想一個小地球，圍繞著太陽在轉。

made, you know, luggage with wheels on it.

And, you know, built the society that we now live in.

Unfortunately, while this society is, without a doubt,

並且建立了我們現在生活的社會。

the most prosperous and dynamic the world has ever created,

是世界上建立最興旺最有動力的社會，

One of them is that every society has an ecological footprint.

It has an amount of impact on the planet that's measurable.

其中一點是每個社會都有一個生態足跡。

它對地球有多大影響是可以量度得到。

有多少東西在你的生活中曾出現，

have a really dramatically unsustainable level of this.

有一個真正引人注目，無法持續的水平。

If everybody on the planet lived the way we did,

如果地球上每個人都像我們這樣生活，

some people even say 10 planets to make it.

甚至某些人說十個地球去支持。

Again, you know, mental, visual, 10 planets, one planet,

再次想像一下，十個地球、一個地球、

We don't have that. So that's one problem.

十個地球、一個地球．．．是嗎？

The second problem is that the planet that we have

我們沒有十個地球。因此那是一個問題。

is being used in wildly unfair ways. Right?

North Americans, such as myself, you know,

正被不公平地胡亂使用，對不對？

we're basically sort of wallowing, gluttonous hogs,

And, you know, then you get all the way down

to people who live in the Asia-Pacific region, or even more, Africa.

And people simply do not have enough to survive.

亞太區居住的人，甚至更遠至非洲。

他們基本上是沒有足夠食物去生存。

all sorts of dynamics that are deeply disturbing.

And there's more and more people on the way. Right?

So, this is what the planet's going to look like in 20 years.

而我們將會有越來越多人在這個情況。

It's going to be a pretty crowded place, at least eight billion people.

因此，廿年後的地球將會是這樣：

So to make matters even more difficult, it's a very young planet.

它將是十分擁擠的地方 ﹣至少有八十億人口。

A third of the people on this planet are kids.

令事態更加困難的是它一個非常年輕的地球。

And those kids are growing up in a completely different way

這個地球上三分之一人口是孩子。

than their parents did, no matter where they live.

They've been exposed to this idea of our society, of our prosperity.

與他們的父母生長於一個完全不同的模式。

And they may not want to live exactly like us.

他們暴露於我們社會的意念，我們的繁榮，

They may not want to be Americans, or Brits,

但他們或許不想跟我們生活得一樣。

他們或許不想當美國人、或是英國人、

of a life which is more prosperous, and more dynamic,

And all of these things combine to create

an enormous amount of torque on the planet.

And if we cannot figure out a way to deal with that torque,

we are going to find ourselves more and more and more quickly

如果我們不能想出一個處理這扭力的方法，

facing situations which are simply unthinkable.

Everybody in this room has heard the worst-case scenarios.

很快地要面對完全不可思議的情況。

在座的各位都聽過最惡劣的情景。

But I will ask the question, what's the alternative?

And I would say that, at the moment, the alternative is unimaginable.

但是我會問，我們有甚麼其他選擇？

You know, so on the one hand we have the unthinkable;

而在這一刻我會說， 這個選擇是難以想像。

on the other hand we have the unimaginable.

which is shareable with everybody on the planet,

which promotes stability and democracy and human rights,

and which is achievable in the time-frame necessary

to make it through the challenges we face.

as being a bit of a news service for the unimaginable future.

You know, what we're out there doing is looking

為難以想像的將來而設的新聞服務。

你知道嗎，我們現正在做的就是尋找

which, if widely adopted, would change the game.

A lot of times, when I do a talk like this, I talk about things

如果它們得到廣泛採用，那將會改變一切。

that everybody in this room I'm sure has already heard of,

很多時候，當我作一個這樣的演講，

我會談論一些肯定在座各位都聽過的事物，

So I thought today I'd do something a little different,

and talk about what we're looking for, rather than saying, you know,

因此今天我想我的做法會有些不同。

rather than giving you tried-and-true examples.

我會談論我們在搜尋甚麼，而不是列舉一些

Talk about the kinds of things we're scoping out.

Give you a little peek into our editorial notebook.

我們會談論一些正在研究的東西。

And given that I have 13 minutes to do this, this is going to go kind of quick.

給你偷看一點我們的編輯記事簿。

So, I don't know, just stick with me. Right?

另因只有十三分鐘，我將會說得很快。

So, first of all, what are we looking for? Bright Green city.

One of the biggest levers that we have in the developed world

首先，我們在尋找甚麼呢？艷綠色都市。

for changing the impact that we have on the planet

在已開發世界中我們所擁有最重要的槓桿

is changing the way that we live in cities.

以改善我們對地球造成的影響，

就是改變我們在城市中的生活方式。

that's especially true in the developed world.

And people who live in cities in the developed world

tend to be very prosperous, and thus use a lot of stuff.

by first of all creating cities that are denser and more livable ...
