But we can change, and 2015 brings a critical opportunity to do just that. This year, the world aims to finalize the post-2015 sustainable development agenda and reach a new and meaningful universal climate change agreement. These processes have the potential to redefine our future for the better, by eradicating extreme poverty in all its forms and resetting our relationship with this planet and every living being it sustains. 但我们是可以改变的,2015年就是实现改变的一个关键机会。今年,全世界的目标是最后敲定2015年后可持续发展议程,并达成一个新的、有意义的普遍性气候变化协议。这些进程有可能通过消除各种形式的极端贫困,调整我们与这个星球及其维系的每一个生命的关系,从而重塑我们的未来,使之向更好的方向发展。
But the big decisions that lie ahead are not just for world leaders and policy-makers. Today, on Mother Earth Day, I ask each one of us to be mindful of the impacts our choices have on this planet, and what those impacts will mean for future generations. Not everyone is able to make sustainable choices, but for those who can, simple decisions such as switching to energy-efficient lighting or buying only what you will consume when accumulated across billions of people can transform our world. The power to change begins with you.但摆在面前的重大决定不仅要由世界各国的领导人和决策者做出。在今天的地球母亲日上,我要求我们每一个人都要注意到我们的选择对这个星球的影响,以及这些影响对子孙后代将意味着什么。不是每个人都能够做出可持续的选择,但对于那些能够做出这类选择的人而言,可以做出采用节能照明以及用多少就买多少等简单决定,数十亿人做出的这类决定累积起来,就足以改变我们的世界。改变产生的力量从你我开始。
