I’m honored to be here today, I stand before you not as an expert but as a concerned citizen, one of the 400,000 people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday, and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis.
我今天很榮幸來到這里，不是以專家身份，而是以一個關心氣候問題的市民身份站在你們面前，不僅是作為周日漫步在紐約街頭的40萬市民之一，也作為全世界數十億想要解決氣候危機的人們之一。
As an actor I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems.
作為一個演員，我以扮演別人的方式謀生。我扮演虛構的角色去解決虛構的問題。
I believe that mankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way, as if it were a fiction, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we all know better than that now.
我覺得過去人類也是以同樣的方式看待氣候變化，好像這是一件虛構的事情，好像假裝氣候變化不是真實的事情，就能讓它消失。但我想我們現在了解得更多了。
Every week, we’re seeing new and undeniable Climate Events, evidence that accelerated Climate Change is here right now.
每周，我們都看見新的且不可否認的氣候問題，加速了氣候變化的跡象隨處可見。
Droughts are intensifying, our oceans are acidifying, with methane plumes rising up from the ocean floor.

We are seeing extreme weather events, and the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets melting at unprecedented rates, decades ahead of scientific projections.
極端天氣頻現，南極西部和格陵蘭冰蓋正以空前的速度融化著，比科學預測提前了幾十年。
None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria. It is fact. The scientific community knows it, industry knows it, governments know it, even the United States military knows it.
這一切都不是夸張，也不是狂熱，是錚錚的事實。科學界知道這些，工業界和政府知道，甚至美國軍隊也知道。
The Chief of the U.S.Navy’s Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Locklear, recently said that Climate Change is our single greatest security threat.
美國海軍太平洋司令部長官尊敬的塞廖爾·洛克利爾上將最近說過：“氣候變化是我們面臨的唯一最大的安全威脅。”
My Friends, this body - perhaps more than any other gathering in human history now faces this difficult but achievable task. You can make history or you will be vilified by it.
我的朋友們，這個團體——也許比人類歷史上的任何一次集結人數更多，正面臨著一個艱巨但可以達成的任務。你可以選擇創造歷史，或者被歷史蔑視。
