由于我是坐飞机到此的，
00:16
to travel here by plane.
1
4000
3000
我已对地球造成甚巨的影响。
00:19
I emitted, in the atmosphere, nine tons of CO2;
2
7000
7000
我已在空气中排放了九吨二氧化碳。
00:26
that is the weight of two elephants.
3
14000
3000
这与两只大象相当。
00:29
I came here to speak about ecology,
4
17000
3000
我来这里是为了谈论生态。
00:32
and I emitted as much CO2
5
20000
3000
但我的二氧化碳排放量
00:35
as a Frenchman in one year.
6
23000
3000
已与法国人一年所排放的二氧化碳量相等。
00:38
So what do I have to do?
7
26000
2000
我该怎么做呢？
00:40
I have to kill a Frenchman when I come back at home?
8
28000
2000
当我回到家时，我要自杀吗？
00:42
(Laughter)
9
30000
2000

00:44
I have to do my carbon offset in another way,
10
32000
3000
我所要做的是另一种抵消二氧化碳的方式，
00:47
like I do every time.
11
35000
2000
我每次都这样做的。
00:49
(Laughter)
12
37000
3000
（笑声）
00:52
In fact my work is to show
13
40000
5000
事实上我的工作是展示
00:57
our impact on our planet.
14
45000
4000
人类对地球的影响。
01:01

Alberta sand oil, a lot of pollution.
18
57000
5000
艾伯塔省的油砂，是对环境造成极大污染。
01:14
You know the problem;
19
62000
2000
我们知道这问题，
01:16
we don't want to believe what we know.
20
64000
6000
但我们却视而不见。
01:22
In Alberta people work nonstop,
21
70000
3000
在艾伯塔省人们，
01:25
24 hours by seven

23
76000
2000
来提取尽可能多的
01:30
as they can.
24
78000
2000
石油。
01:32
We know about the end of oil.
25
80000
3000
我们都知道石油会走向衰竭。
01:35
Oil sand is not a long-term solution.
26
83000
4000
油砂不是一个长远的解决办法。
01:39
But we use three times more oil
27
87000
4000
但是我们每年的石油使用量
01:43
than we find every year.
28
91000
2000
却比年开采量还要多三倍。
01:45

may be wiped out before 2050
33
104000
3000
将有可能于2050年前
01:59
because of global warming.
34
107000
2000
就被灭绝了。
02:01
And you know how coral are very sensitive to temperature,
35
109000
4000
我们知道珊瑚对温度非常敏感，
02:05
and are very important for the biodiversity of the sea.

它已失去其百分之八十的积雪。
02:46
According to scientists,
46
154000
2000
据科学家说，
02:48
in 100 years
47

于未来100年内，
02:51
all the mountain glacier will be gone.
48
159000
3000
所有高山的积雪都会消失殆尽。
02:54
Glaciers are very important for the life on earth.
49
162000
4000
冰川对地球上的生命来说也很重要。
02:58
Like Al Gore told you,
50
166000

2000
全球有20亿人的生活用水
03:02
from the glacier of Himalaya.
52

是依靠喜马拉雅山系的冰川。
03:05
Return of fish men.
53
173000

再说到渔夫。
03:07
One fifth of human kind
54
175000
5000
五分之一的人类
03:12
depend on fish to live.
55
180000
3000
是依靠捕鱼而生活。
03:15
Today now 70 percent
56
183000
4000
今天，现在百分之七十的
03:19
of the fish stock are over-exploited.
57
187000
3000
鱼群是被过度捕捞。
03:22
According to FAO,
58
190000
4000
根据联合国粮食及农业组织，
03:26
if we don't change our system of fishing
59
194000
3000
如果我们不改变我们的捕鱼作业，
03:29
the main sea resources will be gone in 2050.
60
197000
4000
于2050年，海上的主要资源将会消失。
03:33
We don't want to believe what we know.
61
201000
4000
我们还是对此视而不见听而不闻。

215000
3000
那么就已有10亿人没有足够的食物。
03:50
In Africa, corn is one of the main foods in many places.

3000
无声的人类世界？
04:52
Landscape was not enough.
81
280000
3000
风景照片是远远不够的。
04:55
It was obvious to me to do another work.
82

很明显我要去做另一个项目。
04:58

294000
3000
去问同样的问题，
05:09

是关于生命的

106
370000
2000
我想对那里的人民说，
06:24
I'd have to bow down and kiss their feet.
107
372000
2000
我得跪下来，亲吻他们的脚来请求宽恕。
06:26
Just as that woman tried to kiss my feet
108
374000
3000
就如同当我要夺走一个伊拉克女人的孩子时，
06:29
when we were taking her sons.
109
377000
4000
她要亲吻我的脚一样。
06:33
I feel ashamed.
110
381000
3000
我感到羞耻。
06:36
And I feel humbled
111
384000
2000
我被他们的力量所感动，
06:38
by their strength.
112
386000
2000
从而使我感到谦卑。
06:40
And I will forever feel a need
113

3000
我永远都觉得有必要
06:43
to make reparations to Iraq.

06:59
My family ... What can I say?
117
407000
4000
我的家...怎么说呢？
07:03
At the moment, my family is very poor,
118
411000
3000
不瞒大家说，我的家很贫穷，
07:06
my life here in Shenzhen is just about showing myself that I can earn more
119
414000
8000
来到深圳这里，我只是想展现自己。让自己赢得更多的利润，
07:14
and to let my parents stay and have something to live on.
120
422000
4000
让父母去尝试到很富裕的感觉吧。
07:18
I don't want them to spend their whole lives in poverty.
121
426000
6000
不想让他们尝到永远在一种很贫穷生活下度过。

122
432000
10000
如果哪一天我真的很发达，很成功，我第一要感谢的就是我的父母。我要对他们说：

“爸爸，妈妈，谢谢你们。
07:37
Thank you for having fed me and raised me,
124
445000
3000
谢谢你们栽培了我，
07:40
and for making my life of today. Thank you.
125
448000
5000
才会让我有今天。谢谢。”

126

第十三个男人：我已在轮椅中度过七年的时光，
07:49
I've done more in life being in a chair
127
457000
3000
但这并有阻碍到我
07:52
than out of a chair.
128
460000
2000
享受多姿多彩的生活。
07:54
I still surf. I sail the world. I freedive.
129
462000
4000
许多人说我不可以冲浪。而我则去航游世界，以前进行潜水运动。
07:58
After many people said I couldn't do that.
130
466000
5000
我证明我能。
08:03
And I think that comes from connecting with nature,
131
471000
3000
我认为这一切都紧密联系着大自然，
08:06
connecting with the energy of life,
132
474000
3000
联系着生命的活力。
08:09
because we're all disabled in some way on the planet --
133
477000
2000
因为在地球上我们都有着某种方式的缺陷。
08:11
spiritually, mentally or physically.
134
479000
4000
精神上的，心智上的或者身体上的。
08:15
I got the easy part.
135
483000
2000
我只是身体上有小缺陷而已。
08:20
14th Man: Let's say that you and me like each other.
136
488000
4000
第十四个男人：比方说，你我都彼此喜欢。
08:24
You come from elsewhere.
137
492000
2000
不管你从哪里来。
08:26
You don't know me. I don't know you.
138
494000
5000
你不认识我，我不认识你。
08:31
We talk without lying.
139
499000
2000
我们都彼此坦诚相对。
08:33
If I do like you, I give you one cow and many other things
140
501000
5000
如果我的确喜欢你。我会给你一头牛和许多其他东西，
08:38
and we become friends.
141
506000
3000
我们就成为朋友。
08:41
How can we make it all by ourselves?

These plants, several hundred million years old.
156
583000
4000
这些植物都已有几百万年的历史。
10:00
And we humans have been walking upright
157
588000
3000
然而我们人类能直立步行的历史
10:03
for only 200 thousand years.
158
591000
3000
则仅有20万年。
10:08
We've managed to adapt,
159
596000
1000
我们已经成功地适应下来，
10:09
and have conquered the whole planet.
160
597000
3000
并已经征服了整个地球。
10:15
For generations, we've been raising our children,
161
603000
3000
世世代代，我们养育我们的孩子，
10:18
not unlike millions of other species living beside us.
162
606000
3000
却不像在我们身边赖以生活的数百万其它物种那样。
10:24
For the past 30 years
163
612000
2000
过去30年里，
10:26
I've been closely watching the earth and its dwellers
164
614000
3000
我有幸从高空仔细观察
10:29
from high up in the sky.
165
617000
2000
地球和它的居住者们。
10:31
Our life is tied to the well-being of our planet.
166
619000
5000
我们的生活依赖于我们地球的福祉。
10:36
We depend on water,
167
624000
3000
我们依靠水、
10:39
forests,
168
627000
2000
森林、
10:41
deserts,
169
629000
3000
沙漠、
10:44
oceans.

种植业、

173
639000
2000
农业，
10:53
are still the world's foremost human occupations.
174
641000
3000
这些都是世界上最初的人类活动。
10:58
And what binds us together
175
646000
2000
地球把我们紧密联系在一起，
11:00
is far greater than what divides us.
176
648000
4000
它并没有造成我们之间的分离。
11:04
We all share the same need for the earth's gifts --
177
652000
5000
我们大家都分享着地球馈赠的礼物。
11:09
the same wish to rise above ourselves,
178
657000
2000
同样希望超越自身，
11:11
and become better.
179
659000
2000
变得更好。
11:16
And yet we carry on raising walls
180
664000
2000
然而，我们开始垒高墙垣，
11:18
to keep us apart.
181
666000
3000
让我们彼此分开。
11:21
Today our greatest battle
182
669000
2000
今天，我们最大的战斗
11:23
is to protect the natural offerings of our planet.
183
671000
3000
是为了保护我们地球的天然产品。
11:26
In less than 50 years
184
674000
2000
在不到50年里，
11:28
we've altered it more thoroughly
185
676000
2000
相比整个人类历史，我们人类已经更彻底地改变了地球
11:30
than in the entire history of mankind.
186
678000
3000
改变了我们的家园。
11:33
Half of the world's forests have vanished.
187
681000
3000
世界上一半的森林已经消失。
11:36
Water resources are running low.
188
684000
2000
水资源所剩不多。
11:38
Intensive farming is depleting soils.
189
686000
3000
集约农业使土壤贫瘠。
11:43
Our energy sources are not sustainable.
190
691000
3000
我们现有的能源是不可持续利用的。
11:46
The climate is changing.
191
694000
2000
气候正在发生变化。
11:48
We are endangering ourselves.
192
696000
3000
我们正在危害我们自己。
11:51
We're only trying to improve our lives.
193
699000
3000
我们只是想改善我们的生活。
11:54
But the wealth gaps are growing wider.
194
702000
3000
但是，贫富差距在日益加剧。
11:57
We haven't yet understood
195
705000
2000
我们还没有认识到，
11:59
that we're going at a much faster pace
196
707000
3000
地球的承受能力已无法
12:02
than the planet can sustain.
197
710000
2000
包容我们的迅速发展。
12:24
We know that solutions are available today.
198
732000
4000
我们知道有可行的解决方案。
12:30
We all have the power to change this trend
199
738000
3000
为了更好的未来，我们每个人都有能力来
12:33
for the better.
200
741000
2000
改变这恶化趋势。
12:40
So what are we waiting for?
201
748000
2000
因此，我们还等什么呢？

4000
让我告诉你，
14:09
It's too late to be pessimistic --
218
837000
3000
此时悲观太不可取了，
14:12
really too late.
219
840000
4000
这的确是太迟了。
14:16
We have all a part of the solutions.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yann Arthus-Bertrand - PhotographerWith photography, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has captured the beauty of the Earth. Through video and film, his latest projects bind together ecology and humanism. For him, it's all about living together.
Why you should listen
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is perhaps the best known aerial photographer on the planet. He has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide of his seminal photo essay Earth From Above, a decade-spanning attempt to photograph all the vistas of the planet from the sky, whether by helicopter, hot air balloon, or anything else that flies.
Arthus-Bertrand seeks to uncover the story behind the landscape, not just create a pretty picture. Indeed, his subjects are not always photogenic -- his prints show poverty and strife as well as green tranquility; and everywhere in his work is the encroaching hand of humanity and its enterprise. He keeps close track of the coordinates of his locations, so other photographers may track their progress over time.
His newest project takes a different view -- focusing more closely on the people who live on this planet. Called 6 Billion Others, the project was a centerpiece of Pangea Day 2008.
With Luc Besson, he is working on the feature-length documentary Boomerang, to be shot in 60 countries.
