12岁女孩联合国演讲(英文版)一九九二年六月十一日,联合国西元地球环境高峰会议,于巴西里约热内卢召开。一位十二岁的加拿大女孩,在冠盖云集的世界各国领导人面前,发表了一篇仅有六分钟的演说。她的演讲,让人们大受感动,并在全球广为流传,已被大家称作里约的传奇演讲。“Hello, I am Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O - the Environmental Childrens Organization. We are a group of 12 and 13 year-olds trying to make a difference, Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. Weve raised all the money to come here ourselves, to come 5,000 miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming up here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. 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. I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid to go out in the sun now, because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air, because I dont know what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my Dad until, just a few years ago, we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear of animals and plants going extinct every day, vanishing forever. 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.”“Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age? All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. Im only a child and I dont have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you. You dont know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You dont know how to bring the salmon back up a dead stream. You dont know how to bring back an animal now extinct. And you cant bring back the forest that once grew where there is now a desert. If you dont know how to fix it, please stop breaking it.”“Here you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organizers, reporters or politicians. But, really, youre mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles and all of you are someones child. Im only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family, 5 billion strong, in fact 30 million species strong. And borders and governments will never change that. Im only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.”“In my anger, I am not blind and in my fear I am not afraid of telling the world how I feel. In my country we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, 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, we are afraid to let go of some of our wealth. In Canada , we live the privileged life. Weve plenty of food, water and shelter. We have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets. The list could go on for 2 days. Two days ago here in Brazil , we were shocked when we spent time with some children living on the streets. 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, medicines, shelter and love and affection. If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy? I cant stop thinking that these are children my own age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born. And that I could be one of those children living in the favelas of Rio . I could be a child starving in Somalia , or a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India . I am only a child, yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on finding environmental answers ending poverty and in finding treaties, what a wonderful place this earth would be.”“At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us to not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others and to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? Do not forget why you are attending these conferences, who you are doing this for. We are your own children. You are deciding what kind of a world we are growing up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying Everything is going to be all right, its not the end of the world, and we are doing the best we can. But I dont think you can say that to us anymore. Are we eve
