Hello!

大家好！

We are living during a historic moment,

众所周知，我们正生活在 一个充满艰难挑战的历史时刻。

marked by difficult challenges, as we all know.

新冠肺炎大流行造成的危机

The world is shaken by the crisis

caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,

震撼了整个世界，

which highlights

也突出了一个全球性的挑战：

another global challenge:

the socio-environmental crisis.

社会环境危机。

And this requires us, all of us, to face a choice.

这让我们所有人 都不得不面临一个艰难的选择——

The choice between what matters,

什么是重要的，

and what doesn’t.

而什么不重要。

The choice between continuing to ignore

选择继续忽略

the suffering of the poorest

最贫穷群体的苦难，

and to abuse our common home,

肆意破坏我们的共同家园，

our planet,

我们的地球，

or engaging at every level

还是在各个层面

to transform the way we act.

主动改变我们的行为方式。

Science tells us, every day, with more precision,

科学每天都在 以更加精准的数字提醒我们，

that urgent action is needed --

如果我们希望避免

and I am not dramatizing, this is what science says --

未来出现剧烈的灾难性气候变化，

if we are to keep the hope of avoiding

那么采取行动已经迫在眉睫——

radical and catastrophic climate change.

这并不是危言耸听， 而是科学研究的结果。

And for this we must act now.

为此，我们必须立即采取行动。

This is a scientific fact.

毕竟，这是一个科学事实。

Our conscience tells us that we cannot remain indifferent

我们的良知告诉我们，

to the suffering of those in need,

我们不能对需要帮助的人的苦难，

to the growing economic inequalities

对日益严重的经济不平等

and social injustices.

和社会不公正现象置若罔闻。

经济本身不能局限于生产和分配，

And that the economy itself cannot be limited to production and distribution.

It must also consider

还必须考虑

its impacts on both the environment and on the dignity of people.

其对环境和人类尊严的影响。

We could say that the economy

我们可以说，

should be creative

经济应该在其本身，

in itself and in its methods,

工作原理和运行方式上

in the way it acts.

都体现出创造力。

Creativity.

是的，创造力。

I would like to invite you to go on a journey together.

我想邀请各位与我一起踏上

A journey of transformation and of action.

一段变革与行动的旅程。

无需太多言辞，

Made not so much of words,

but rather of concrete and pressing actions.

而是要采取具体而紧迫的行动。

I am calling it a journey because it requires a shift, a change.

我之所以称其为旅程， 是因为它需要一种转换，一种改变。

From this crisis none of us must come out the same --

在这场危机中，我们谁都不应该、

we cannot come out the same:

没有办法，

from a crisis, we never come out the same --

也永远不可能独善其身——

and it will take time, and hard work, to overcome it.

战胜危机需要时间和不懈的努力。

We will have to take it one step at a time;

我们只能一步一个脚印，

help the weak; persuade those in doubt;

帮助弱者， 说服那些持怀疑态度的人，

imagine new solutions;

构想出新的解决方案，

并不遗余力的去执行。

and commit to carry them out.

Our goal is clear:

我们的目标很明确：

to build, within the next decade,

在未来十年内

a world where we can meet the needs

建立这样一个世界，

of the present generations,

在不牺牲子孙后代 无限机遇的前提下，

including everyone,

满足当代人，

without compromising the possibilities of future generations.

包括所有人的需求。

I would like to invite all people of faith,

我想邀请所有拥有信仰的人——

Christian or not,

无论你是否信仰基督教——

and all people of good will,

以及所有心怀善意的人，

to embark on this journey,

一起加入这段旅程：

starting from your own faith,

从自己的信仰开始，

or if you do not have a faith, from your own intention,

或者，以自己的意图，

from your own goodwill.

自己的善念为出发点。

Each one of us, as individuals, or members of a group --

我们每个人——无论是个人，

还是家庭、宗教社区、企业、 协会、机构等团体的成员——

families, communities of faith, businesses, associations, institutions --

can make a substantial contribution.

都可以做出重大贡献。

Five years ago I wrote the encyclical letter "Laudato Si’,"

五年前，我写下了通谕 《愿祢受赞颂》(“Laudato Si”)，

dedicated to the care of our common home.

呼吁大众关怀我们共同的家园。

It proposes the concept of "integral ecology,"

在其中，我提出了 “整合生态学”（Integral Ecology）的概念，

以共同回应地球的呼声

to respond together to the cry of the Earth,

as well as to the cry of the poor.

以及穷人的呼声。

Integral ecology is an invitation

整合生态学

是针对生命整体愿景 所发出的邀请，

to an integral vision on life,

starting from the conviction that everything in the world is connected

其出发点是这样一种信念： 世界上的一切都是相互联系的，

and that, as the pandemic made sure to remind us,

正如疫情大流行提醒了我们的那样，

we are interdependent on each other,

人类是相互依存的，

同时也依赖着我们的地球母亲。

as well as on our Mother Earth.

From such a vision stems the need

从这一愿景出发，

to find new ways

我们需要找到

of defining progress and measuring it,

定义和衡量进步的新方法，

并不局限于经济、

without limiting ourselves to the economic,

technological, financial and gross-product aspects,

技术、财政和生产总值等传统指标，

而是在伦理、社会

but rather, giving central relevance

和教育层面

to its ethical, social

and educational dimensions.

赋予核心的关联性。

I would like to propose today three courses of action.

在此，我想提出三个行动方针。

As I wrote in "Laudato Si’,"

正如我在《愿祢受赞颂》中 所写到的那样，

the change and the right orientation for our journey of integral ecology

整合生态之旅想要实现改变， 并引导正确的方向，

require first that we all take an educational step.

首先需要我们都采取正确的步骤。

So, my first suggestion

因此，我的第一个建议是，

is to promote, at every level,

在各个层次上

an education geared towards the care of our common home,

促进一种旨在关心 我们共同家园的教育，

developing the understanding

让人们深刻认识到，

that environmental problems are linked to human needs.

环境问题与人类需求息息相关。

We must understand this from the beginning:

我们必须从一开始就认识到这一点：

environmental problems are tied to human needs.

环境问题与人类需求密不可分。

An education based on scientific data

我们需要以科学数据

and on an ethical approach.

和道德方法为基础的教育。

This is important: both of them.

二者都非常重要。

I am encouraged by the fact that many young people

令我感到鼓舞的是，

already show a new ecological and social awareness,

许多年轻人已经表现出 一种新的生态和社会意识，

and many of them fight generously

他们中的许多人

for the defense of the environment

正在为保护环境和正义 而无私的奉献和抗争。

and for justice.

As a second proposal, we must focus

第二个建议是，

on water and nutrition.

我们必须重视水源和营养的供应。

Access to safe and drinkable water

在安全的饮用水方面拥有保障

is an essential and universal human right.

是一项基本和普遍的人权。

It is essential

它很重要，

because it determines the survival of people

因为它决定了人类的生存，

and therefore is a condition

从而也是我们行使

for the exercise of all other rights and responsibilities.

所有其他权利和责任的必要条件。

Providing adequate nutrition for all,

通过非破坏性的耕作方法

through non-destructive farming methods,

为所有人提供充分的 食品营养供应，

should become the main purpose

应该成为

of the entire cycle of food production and distribution.

整个粮食生产 和分配周期的主要目的。

The third suggestion is about energy transition:

第三个建议是关于能源转型：

a gradual replacement, but without delay,

用清洁能源逐步取代化石燃料，

of fossil fuels with clean energy sources.

但要及时采取行动。

We only have a few years.

我们只有几年的时间 去实现这种过渡。

Scientists estimate approximately

科学家估计，

这个时限不会超过 30 年。

less than 30 --

we have a few years, less than 30 --

我们只有不到 30 年的时间

to drastically reduce

来大幅度减少排放到大气中的

greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

温室气体。

Not only must this transition be quick

这种过渡不仅必须要快，

and capable of meeting present and future energy needs,

而且必须能够满足目前 和未来的能源需求。

它还必须关注对穷人，

it also must be attentive

对当地人口

to the impact on the poor,

on local populations,

以及那些

as well as on those who work in the energy production sectors.

在能源生产部门工作的人 所带来的影响。

One way to encourage this change

鼓励这种变化的一个方法就是，

is to lead businesses towards the urgent need

引导企业主动满足

to commit themselves to the integral care of our common home,

致力于爱护 我们共同家园的迫切需要，

excluding from investments

拒绝投资那些

those companies that do not meet the parameters of integral ecology,

生态参数不达标的公司，

while rewarding those that work concretely,

奖励那些

during this transitional phase,

在这个过渡阶段专注于

to put, at the center of their activities,

将可持续发展、

sustainability,

社会公正

social justice

和促进共同利益

当作工作重心的机构。

and the promotion of the common good.

Many organizations, Catholic and of other faiths,

许多组织， 包括天主教和其他宗教机构，

have already taken on the responsibility

已经承担起

to act in this direction.

朝着这个方向行动的责任。

事实上，地球必须 被不断耕种、养育、

In fact, the Earth must be worked and nursed,

cultivated and protected.

栽培和保护。

We cannot continue to squeeze it like an orange.

我们不能再无限的榨取 这个星球上的资源。

And we can say that this -- taking care of the Earth --

我们可以说，

is a human right.

爱护地球也是一种人权。

These three proposals must be considered

我们要把这三个建议看作是

as part of a larger group of actions

我们必须以综合方式进行的

that we must carry out in an integrated way

更广泛行动的一部分，

in order to find a lasting solution to these problems.

以便为这些问题找到 更持久的解决办法。

The current economic system is unsustainable.

当前的经济体系是不可持续的。

We are faced with the moral imperative, and the practical urgency,

我们正面临着道德和现实的迫切性，

to rethink many things:

需要重新思考许多事情：

the way we produce; the way we consume;

我们的生产方式和消费方式，

our culture of waste;

我们的浪费文化，

our short-term vision;

我们的短期目标，

the exploitation of the poor

我们对穷人的剥削

and our indifference towards them;

和对他们权利的漠视，

the growing inequalities

越来越严重的不平等问题

and our dependence on harmful energy sources.

和我们对有害能源的依赖。

We need to think about all these challenges.

我们需要认真思考所有这些挑战。

Integral ecology suggests a new conception

整合生态学提出了

of the relationship between us humans and Nature.

一种人与自然关系的新概念，

This leads to a new economy,

也将我们引向了一种新的经济。

where the production of wealth

在这种经济中，财富的生产

is directed to the integral well-being of the human being

是为了人类整体的福祉，

and to the improvement --

是为了改善——

而不是破坏——

not the destruction --

我们共同的家园。

of our common home.

It also implies a renewed politics,

它也意味着一种全新的政治体系，

conceived as one of the highest forms of charity.

被认为是慈善的最高形式之一。

Yes,

是的，

love is interpersonal,

爱是相互的，

but love is also political.

但爱也是带有政治色彩的。

It involves all peoples and it involves Nature.

它包括了所有人，还有自然。

因此，我邀请你们所有人

I invite therefore all of you

to embark on this journey,

共同踏上这一旅程，

that I proposed in "Laudato Si’"

这也是我在《愿祢受赞颂》

and also in my new encyclical "Fratelli Tutti."

和我的新教皇通谕《弗拉泰利·图蒂》 （“Fratelli Tutti”）中所提议的。

As the term Countdown suggests,

正如“倒计时”这个词 所提示的那样，

we must act with urgency.

我们必须采取紧急行动。

Each one of us can play a valuable role,

如果我们今天—— 而不是明天——

if we all begin our journey today --

就开始我们的旅程，

我们每个人就都可以 发挥宝贵的作用。

not tomorrow -- today.

Because the future is built today,

因为，未来是在今天建立起来的，

and it is not built in isolation,

也并不是孤立出现的，

而是由和谐的人类共同体所打造的。

but rather in community and in harmony.

Thank you.

谢谢。
