12岁女孩震惊世界的6分钟演讲

Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. - The Environmental Children's

Organisation.

大家好，我是Severn Suzuki，我代表儿童环境组织来此演讲。

We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference:Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the

money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.

我们是一个十三四岁的小群体，我们想改变些什么：Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg和我。我们自己挣钱支持我们来到这里，旅行5000英里只为告诉你们成年人，你们必须改变你们的生活方式。今天我来到这里，我背后没有任何经纪人，我们为我们的未来而战。

Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.

失去未来不像落选选举或者股市浮动那么简单，我来到这里是为了将来所有的世代而演讲。

I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.

我演讲是为了世界所有忍受饥饿的儿童，而他们的哭泣却无人听见。

I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard.

我为这个行星上无数正在垂死的动物而演讲，因为它们几乎已经无处容身了。

I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it.

我现在害怕晒太阳，因为臭氧层出现了空洞。我现在害怕呼吸空气，因为我不知道那里有多少化学物质。

I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day -- vanishing forever.

以前和我爸爸经常在vancouver钓鱼，但在近几年却发现鱼的身上到处是癌细胞。我们每天都会听说有的动物和植物绝种，那是永远消失的事情。

In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.

我一生的梦想就是能看到成群的野生动物，茂盛的丛林和大片的雨林中到处是鸟类和蝴蝶在飞舞。但是现在我想知道我们这些小孩是否还能再看到它们？

Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?

在您那个年代，您曾经担心过我们现在担心的事吗？

All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I'm only a child and I don't have all the solutions, but I want you to realise, neither do you!

所有这一切就发生在我们眼前，然而我们还是一直向大自然无度索取我们所需要的。我仅仅是个孩子，我不知道该怎么办。 但我们这些孩子——这个星球的未来需要让您认识到，您不能说没办法！

You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You don't know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream. You don't know how to bring back an animal now

extinct.And you can't bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert. If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!

您不知道怎么去修补大气的臭氧空洞，您也不知道怎么去从死亡的河流中拯救鱼类，您更不知道如何把灭绝的动物复苏，您也不能把沙漠中从前完整的森林带回来。如果您不知道如何拯救，那么请您停止破坏吧！

Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organisers,

reporters or politicians - but really you are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles - and all of you are somebody's child.

在这里，您可能是您政府商业人士的代表、组织者、记者或政客。但您们也是父亲和母亲、兄弟和姐妹、阿姨和叔叔，你们都会或多或少的为了下一代而活着。

I'm only a child yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, 30 million species strong and we all share the same air, water and soil -- borders and governments will never change that.

我只是一个小孩，但我知道我们都是一个大家庭的成员，超过60亿人的大家庭，以及超过三千万物种的大家庭，政府和国界永远都无法改变这个事实。

I'm only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.

我身为小孩都知道，我们在地球的母亲怀中都是孩子。我们应该为了相同的目的进行相同的行动！

In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel.

然而事实却让我很愤怒，但我也很清醒，我虽然害怕，但我敢于告诉世界我真实的感受。

In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to share, afraid to lose some of our wealth.

在我的祖国，我们制造了如此之多的垃圾，我们购买商品，我们随之丢弃，买来，再丢弃。然而有些国家，有些人，却不会分享给那些真正需要的人们，甚至他们拥有的远远超过自身需要的时候。他们害怕分享，害怕失去自己的财富。

In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter -- we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.

在加拿大，他们过着特权般的生活，他们有很多食物、房子和水。他们拥有很多手表，汽车，各种电器和奢侈品。

Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection."

在巴西，我被2天前见到的情景震惊了，那时我和当地的小孩在玩耍，其中一个小孩说：“我希望我能富裕起来，然后我会给这个街道所有的小孩饭吃，给他们衣服穿，医疗，住房和爱”。

If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy?

如果一个孩子在自己一无所有的时候都能愿意分享，为什么拥有一切的大人却如此贪婪？

I can't stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous

difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favellas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.

我永远不能忘记这些和我同龄的孩子，当你出生的时候，他和我们真的很不相同，我也许生活在贫民窟，也可能是终日饿着肚子的小孩，也可能是中东战争的牺牲品，或者印度的小乞丐。

I'm only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be!

我只是一个小孩，然而我知道，要是把花在战争上的钱，用在找寻环境问题答案上来，或用在结束贫穷并找到解决的方案上来，这个星球将是个多么美好的地方啊！

At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us: not to fight with others, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share - not be greedy.

在学校，甚至在幼稚园，你们大人教我们如何处世，你们告诉我们不要打架，要尊重对方。找出答案，解决矛盾。去分享，而不是贪婪。

Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?

你们大人为什么去做与你们教导孩子相反的事情呢？

Do not forget why you're attending these conferences, who you're doing this for -- weare your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying "everyting's going to be alright" , "it's not the end of the world" and"we're doing the best we can".

不要忘记你们为何而来到这里开会，你们为谁做事情？我们是你们的下一代，你们正在决定我们将要在一个什么样的环境中成长，父母需要能够宽慰孩子们，告诉他们“一切都没问题，那不是世界末日，我们正在尽其所能的改变”。

But I don't think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says "You are what you do, not what you say."

但我不能再相信这样的话了，孩子们还是你们的优选名单吗？我爸爸总是说：“听其言，观其行，是认识一个人最好的方法”。

Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown ups say you love us. But I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening

然而，你们所做的事让我在夜晚哭泣，你们成年人说你们爱我们，我不会再相信了，因为只有行动和语言的合一，才是找回信任和未来的唯一方法！谢谢！

你和我作文

你和我作文

你和我作文（一）

是父母做超生游击队员时的产品？总之——从小到大，我最熟悉的一个人，最担心的一个人，最害怕的一个人，就是从一出生就陪在我身边的“大姨”，其实是大姨夫——在我四五年级以前，接触最多的人。童年时光就是和大姨生活，不知度过了多少个快乐时光，也不知度过了多少辛酸„„

从开始上幼儿园，一直到我回家，大姨一共就送过我上学一次，——幼儿园报名时他带我去的，从那以后他就再也没有送过我，我都是自己跑去的。大姨很忙，真的很忙，虽然我不知道他在忙什么。{wearefamily演讲稿}.

上一年级时，学校远了，我也还是照样步行去，只不过每天早上要起很早。到了二年级，大姨说我上学校太远了，学骑自行车吧。每当我在空地学骑车时，大姨都会陪在我身边，当我摔倒时，大姨从不来扶我，只是冷着脸说“起来！重来！”看着大姨冷的目光，只好重来，——心里很不舒服，怨恨？应该有吧。就这样摔了再来、摔了再来„„

摔了好几天。一天下午吃饭时，我让大姨帮我找校服，大姨说学会骑车就给我找校服，都知道小学生把老师的话当“圣旨”的吧，我就快速吃饭，吃好就去练，没想到一上车就会了。我兴冲冲地回家广而告之，大姨什么都没说，只是我能感觉到了赞许的目光。

大姨每天给我做饭、洗衣，滴滴点点。有一次我和朋友在放学路上遇到了“仇人”，其实是朋友的同学，找她碴的，我听他的话很生气，就说了几句气话，没想到他拿起棍就玩笑式的打了我一下，本以为不痛，可真的不轻啊，让我路都走不了了，被朋友扶回家的，大姨一看就一脸的焦急，问这问那，虽然看我无大碍，稍现放心的样子，但还是气哼哼地出去了。后来听说和打我的那个人家长大吵了一架。

现在想想，和大姨生活的十余年里，还是有很多快乐的时光得。但我须回家了，离开了大姨家。偶尔去大姨家时，看见大姨头上多了好多白发。由于整天出力，大姨的背不直了。

大姨，我会把您慢慢衰老的面容，化作我上进的动力，报达您的养育之恩。

你和我作文（二）

我是一个活泼开朗、幽默可爱的小女孩，你是一只温顺的小白狗。就在那一天我拥有了你。

你是我8岁的生日>礼物。我很喜欢你，很疼爱你，把你当作我的宝贝。过了一阵子，你在无意间生了一只小狗，你当上了妈妈。你在白天给你的孩子小可爱为奶水、一

起玩耍。到了晚上，你就给我们看家。

但是，有几天邻居家进了小偷，我们就给你为的饱饱的，其实是想让你在晚上给我们把家看好了，你似乎也明白了。到了晚上，你就很尽职的帮我们看着家。连续几天都没有小偷的动静，但你还是守着自己的岗位。到了后一天，我万万没有想到，竟然来了小偷，也许是因为小偷以为我们已经没有了警戒心吧！虽然，那天没有对什么贵重的物品，但是，丢了我的一件最珍贵的宝贝——我的8岁生日礼物小白狗。其实事情是这样的：那天，小偷来到了我们家，被你发现了，你那时叫得很大声、很凶猛，还有小可爱的呜呜声，我们就被你的叫声吵醒了。但是，一会儿又没有了动静，我们一家人起了床。走到了小院没有什么东西，但是，将大门一打开，我哭了——小白狗竟然躺在血泊之中，身上有一条长长的刀痕，鲜血正往外留着。小可爱好像一下子明白了一切，在小白狗的身边呜呜呜呜~~的叫着，还舔着你——小白狗的鲜血。

那时候，爸爸让我继续去睡觉，我去了，但没有睡，只是睁着眼睛回想着那一幕，令我十分痛心。猜想你一定是被小偷发现后，他怕被抓而杀了你。

我和你之间的一切也就这样结束了，原本想让你的孩子——小可爱来代替你，但是由于要搬家，拆迁的缘故，小可爱也就随着搬了新家，而不是我家，它送了人。我也将你埋葬在了老家的柳树下。希望我们心连心，也请你记住：我们永远都是一家人！

“我和你，心连心，同住地球村。为梦想，千里行，相会在北京。来吧，朋友，伸出你的手。我和你，心连心，永远一家人。”这是刘欢和莎拉-布莱曼合唱的《我和你》。

你和我作文（三）

我和你，住在不同的地方有着不同的命运。我小时候，房间里就有了不少的玩具，洋娃娃、芭比、还有堆成“山”的书。我玩玩这个，又玩玩那个，玩累了，还可以看看窗外的青山绿水。城市里的马路很宽，汽车来来往往，我想去哪玩就能去哪玩。

你小的时候住在农村里，那里没有高楼大厦，没有宽广的柏油马路。你想去外面玩，也只能步行或骑自行车。一走进家门，也是如此的不富裕。两张简单的小床、一个小柜子，还有一张小桌子，连个厕所也没有。直到时间过了这么多年，你的家才好了很多。三层的房子有了厕所，有了像样的房间，有了新的家具。

比起我来，我的房子没有爸爸的大，但是我的家比爸爸的家干净整齐。我们住的环境也比爸爸的环境好，我们这儿虽然有很多的汽车尾气，但是我们这儿山清水秀，非常干净。爸爸住的乡下虽然没有太多的汽车尾气，但是那儿尘土和沙子都乱飞。

爸爸，我想对你说：虽然每天我们在一起的时间很少，但是我要告诉你

“Wearefamily!”明天的路还很长很长，有你陪伴着我慢慢长大，我要和你一起，去看远方的风景。

thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

--Ellen Goodman

Introduce the knowledge about Thanksgiving:

Thanksgiving Day, or Thanksgiving, presently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. Thanksgiving was historically a observation to give to , and is still celebrated as such by some religious families, but it is now considered a holiday as well. Most Americans celebrate by gathering at home with family or friends for a holiday feast.

Though the holiday's origins can be traced to which have been celebrated in many cultures since ancient times, the American holiday is tied to the deliverance of the English settlers by after the harsh winter at and that event has become the pre-eminent foundation story for English North America.

Thanksgiving can be traced back to 1621. In December 1620, by the ship Mayflower, one hundred Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth, the new continent which was the middle of freezing northern winter. After several months of starvation, disease and death, only half of the original one hundred Pilgrims survived. In the fall of 1621, their living conditions improved a lot. They had more than enough food, houses, and were in good terms with the Indians. At the end of the year, they decided December 13, 1621, as the day for giving thanks to God. On Thanksgiving Day, first fired a cannon, and then offered their thanks to God. After that, they had a great feat (wild turkeys, geese, ducks, fish) and three days of celebration.

The first national Thanksgiving Day was announced by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 and it was set on the last Thursday in November. It is a family holiday. Every year on that day, family members come from all over the world to share the feast. Before the feast, people usually say a short prayer of thanks to God for the blessings the family has received. A typical feast includes turkey, the main course, and many other delicious food, such as pumpkin pie, served in remembrance of the Indian’s gift to the first settlers.

Introduce the background of the author:

The author Ellen Goodman is a journalist having worked for Newsweek, CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System), and NBC (National Broadcasting Company). In 1980, he won the Pulitzer Prize. (普利策奖: 美国报界最高荣誉)

The main idea of the context:

This essay doesn’t mainly talk about how people do with Thanksgiving Day although the title is Thanksgiving. It focuses more on the relationship between individuals and families. Through series of comparison, contrast and analysis, it shows us a totally new understanding about how to deal with the relationship with his family for an individual person.

The main skill used in the passage:

Subject A: Individual

Subject B: Family

Points: advantages/disadvantages

One-side-at-a-time:

Point-by-point:

Following the two techniques, we start analyzing the passage.

Soon they will be together again, all the people who travel between their own lives and each other's. The package tour of the season will lure (tempt) them this week to the family table. By Thursday, feast day, family day, Thanksgiving Day, Americans who value individualism like no other people will collect around a million tables in a ritual of belonging.

They will assemble their families the way they assemble dinner: each one bearing a personality as different as cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. For one dinner they will cook for each other, fuss for each other, feed each other and argue with each other. They will nod at their common heritage, the craziness and caring of other generations. They will measure their common legacy — the children.

All these complex cells, these men and women, old and young, with different dreams and disappointments will give homage (honor) again to the group they are a part of and apart from: their family. Families and individuals. The "we" and the "I". As good Americans we all travel between these two ideals. We take value trips from the great American notion of individualism to

the great American vision of family. We wear out our tires driving back and forth, using speed to shorten the distance between these two principles.

There has always been some pavement between a person and a family. From the first moment we recognize that we are separate we begin to wrestle (struggle) with aloneness and togetherness. Here and now these conflicts are especially acute (sharp). We are, after all, raised in families ... to be individuals. This double message follows us through life. We are taught about the freedom of the "I" and the safety of the "we". The loneliness of the "I" and the intrusiveness of the "we". The selfishness of the "I" and the burdens of the "we".

We are taught what Andre Malraux said: "Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold." And taught what he said another day: "The denial of the supreme importance of the mind's development accounts for many revolts against the family." In theory, the world rewards "the supreme importance" of the individual, the ego. We think alone, inside our heads. We write music and literature with an enlarged sense of self. We are graded and paid, hired and fired, on our own merit. The rank of individualism is both exciting and cruel. Here is where the fittest survive.

The family, on the other hand, at its best, works very differently. We don't have to achieve to be accepted by our families. We just have to be. Our membership is not based on certificates but on birth. As Malraux put it, "A friend loves you for your intelligence, a lover for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning: you were born into it and of its flesh and

blood."

The family is formed not for the survival of the fittest but for the weakest. It is not an economic unit but an emotional one. This is not the place where people fiercely compete with each other but where they work for each other. Its business is taking care, and when it works, it is not callous (indifferent) but kind.

There are fewer heroes, fewer stars in family life. While the world may glorify the self, the family asks us, at one time or another, to submerge it. While the world may abandon us, the family promises, at one time or another, to protect us. So we commute daily, weekly, yearly between one world and another. Between a life as a family member that can be nurturing or smothering. Between life as an individual that can free us or flatten us. We vacillate (hesitate) between two separate sets of demands and possibilities.

The people who will gather around this table Thursday live in both of these worlds, a part of and apart from each other. With any luck the territory they travel from one to another can be a fertile one, rich with care and space. It can be a place where the "I" and the "we" interact. On this day at least, they will bring to each other something both special and something to be shared: these separate selves.

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child. One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queen's room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me,

glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."
