阿尔戈尔和平演讲(转)7.docVIP

Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Honorable members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen. 尊贵的国王陛下，尊贵各位殿下，尊敬的各位瑞典诺贝尔学会的各位会员们，诸位阁下，女士们先生们， I have a purpose here today. It is a purpose I have tried to serve for many years. I have prayed that God would show me a way to accomplish it. 我来这里有一个目的，我已经为这个目的奋斗了许多年，我不断向上帝祈祷，祈求上帝能指引我找到一条实现它的道路。 Sometimes, without warning, the future knocks on our door with a precious and painful vision of what might be. One hundred and nineteen years ago, a wealthy inventor read his own obituary, mistakenly published years before his death. Wrongly believing the inventor had just died, a newspaper printed a harsh judgment of his lifes work, unfairly labeling him The Merchant of Death because of his invention ¨dynamite. Shaken by this condemnation, the inventor made a fateful choice to serve the cause of peace. 有的时候，在毫无预告的条件下，未来会叩响我们的房门，带来了珍贵而让人痛苦的未来景象。119年前，一个富有的发明家在报纸上看到了自己的讣告。报纸错误的在发明家真正去世前的许多年刊登了发明家的讣告。错误的以为发明家已经离开人世，一份报纸对于发明家的生平惊醒了极为严厉的评价，极为不公的将这个发明家定义为：死亡商人，因为他发明了炸药。发明家被这指责所震动，他做出了一个极为重要的决定：为和平事业而不懈努力。 Seven years later, Alfred Nobel created this prize and the others that bear his name. 七年后，阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔以自己的名义设立许多奖项，其中就包括我现在获得的这个奖项。 Seven years ago tomorrow, I read my own political obituary in a judgment that seemed to me harsh and mistaken ¨ if not premature. But that unwelcome verdict also brought a precious if painful gift: an opportunity to search for fresh new ways to serve my purpose. Unexpectedly, that quest has brought me here. Even though I fear my words cannot match this moment, I pray what I am feeling in my heart will be communicated clearly enough that those who hear me will say, We must act. 在七年前的12月11号，我也看到了自己的政治讣告，这份讣告是从一份对于我来说残酷和不公正的判决中读到的。这份判决是那么的为时过早。虽然这份不受欢迎的判决给我带来的痛苦，但也带来了弥足珍贵的收获：一个寻找全新的方式来实现我的目的的机会。出乎我的意料之外，这份对新方式的追求探索把我带到了这里。尽管我觉得现在可能词不达意，但是我祈祷我心中所想的，今天在场的所有人都能理解明白，大家都能不约而同的说这样一句话：“我们必须行动起来！” We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency ¨C a threat to the survival o
