Earthrise By Amanda Gorman 阿曼达戈尔曼的地出

"On Christmas Eve, 1968, astronaut Bill Anders Snapped a photo of the earth As Apollo 8 orbited the moon.

Those three guys Were surprised To see from their eyes Our planet looked like an earthrise A blue orb hovering over the moon’s gray horizon, with deep oceans and silver skies.

It was our world’s first glance at itself Our first chance to see a shared reality, A declared stance and a commonality;

A glimpse into our planet’s mirror, And as threats drew nearer, Our own urgency became clearer, As we realize that we hold nothing dearer than this floating body we all call home.

We’ve known That we’re caught in the throes Of climactic changes some say Will just go away, While some simply pray To survive another day; For it is the obscure, the oppressed, the poor, Who when the disaster Is declared done, Still suffer more than anyone.

Climate change is the single greatest challenge of our time,

Of this, you’re certainly aware. It’s saddening, but I cannot spare you From knowing an inconvenient fact, because It’s getting the facts straight that gets us to act and not to wait.

So I tell you this not to scare you, But to prepare you, to dare you To dream a different reality,

Where despite disparities We all care to protect this world, This riddled blue marble, this little true marvel To muster the verve and the nerve To see how we can serve Our planet. You don’t need to be a politician To make it your mission to conserve, to protect, To preserve that one and only home That is ours, To use your unique power To give next generations the planet they deserve.

We are demonstrating, creating, advocating

We heed this inconvenient truth, because we need to be anything but lenient With the future of our youth.

And while this is a training, in sustaining the future of our planet, There is no rehearsal. The time is Now Now Now, Because the reversal of harm, And protection of a future so universal Should be anything but controversial.

So, earth, pale blue dot We will fail you not.

Just as we chose to go to the moon We know it’s never too soon To choose hope. We choose to do more than cope With climate change We choose to end it— We refuse to lose. Together we do this and more Not because it’s very easy or nice But because it is necessary, Because with every dawn we carry the weight of the fate of this celestial body orbiting a star. And as heavy as that weight sounded, it doesn’t hold us down, But it keeps us grounded, steady, ready, Because an environmental movement of this size Is simply another form of an earthrise.

To see it, close your eyes. Visualize that all of us leaders in this room and outside of these walls or in the halls, all of us change-makers are in a spacecraft, Floating like a silver raft in space, and we see the face of our planet anew. We relish the view; We witness its round green and brilliant blue, Which inspires us to ask deeply, wholly: What can we do? Open your eyes. Know that the future of this wise planet Lies right in sight: Right in all of us.

Trust this earth uprising. All of us bring light to exciting solutions never tried before For it is our hope that implores us, at our uncompromising core, To keep rising up for an earth more than worth fighting for."

“1968 年平安夜，宇航员比尔·安德斯

拍了一张地球的照片

当阿波罗 8 号绕月飞行时。

那三个家伙

惊讶

从他们的眼里看

我们的星球看起来像地出

一个蓝色的球体盘旋在月亮灰色的地平线上，

深海和银色的天空。

这是我们世界对自己的第一眼

我们第一次有机会看到一个共同的现实，

明确的立场和共同点；

瞥见我们星球的镜子，

随着威胁越来越近，

我们自己的紧迫感变得更加清晰，

当我们意识到我们没有比这更珍贵的东西

比起这个我们都称之为家的漂浮的身体。

我们已经知道

我们陷入了痛苦之中

一些人说的高潮变化

只会离开，

有些人只是祈祷

多活一天；

因为它是默默无闻的、受压迫的、贫穷的，

谁当灾难

宣布完成，

还是比谁都受苦。

气候变化是我们这个时代最大的挑战，

对此，你当然知道。

很难过，但我不能放过你

从知道一个不方便的事实，因为

弄清事实让我们采取行动而不是等待。

所以我告诉你这不是吓唬你，

但是为了让你做好准备，让你敢于

梦想一个不同的现实，

尽管存在差异

我们都想保护这个世界，

这千疮百孔的蓝色大理石，这小小的真正的奇迹

鼓起勇气和勇气

看看我们如何服务

我们的星球。你不需要成为政治家

把保存、保护、

为了保护那唯一的家

那是我们的，

发挥你独特的力量

为下一代提供他们应得的星球。

我们在示范、创造、倡导

我们注意到这个不便的事实，因为我们需要的是宽容

与我们青春的未来。

虽然这是一次培训，

为了维持我们星球的未来，

没有彩排。现在的时间是

现在

现在

现在，

因为伤害的逆转，

保护如此普遍的未来

应该是没有争议的。

所以，地球，淡蓝色的点

我们不会让你失望的。

就像我们选择去月球一样

我们知道永远不会太早

选择希望。

我们选择做的不仅仅是应付

随着气候变化

我们选择结束它——

我们拒绝输。

我们一起做这件事以及更多

不是因为它很容易或很好

但是因为有必要，

因为每一个黎明我们都带着

这个天体的命运的重量围绕着一颗恒星运行。

尽管听起来很重，但它并没有压垮我们，

但它让我们脚踏实地、稳定、准备好，

因为这种规模的环保运动

只是另一种形式的地出。

要看到它，请闭上眼睛。

想像我们在这个房间里的所有领导者

在这些墙外或大厅里，所有

我们中的变革者在太空船中，

漂浮如银筏

在太空中，我们重新看到了地球的面貌。

我们欣赏美景；

我们见证了它圆润的绿色和灿烂的蓝色，

这激发了我们深刻而完整地发问：

我们能做什么？

张开你的眼睛。

知道未来的

这个聪明的星球

就在眼前：

就在我们所有人身上。

相信这个地球起义。

我们所有人都为以前从未尝试过的激动人心的解决方案带来光明

因为我们的希望恳求我们，在我们不妥协的核心，

为一个值得为之奋斗的地球不断奋起。”
