锦华是一名英语老师,来自一所“藏汉融合”的学校-西安市浐灞一中。在春节来临之际,锦华邀请她的两位学生旦增桑姆,丁增美朵为你献上这期“为你读英语美文”,她们都来自离天最近的地方-西藏。来自拉萨的旦增桑姆为大家带来一篇演讲,酷爱歌舞的丁增美朵为大家带来一首歌曲,希望你能感受到这份来自那片净土的温暖。
My name is Tenzinsangmo. The title of my speech is cherishing food and refusing to waste food.
大家好!我是一名藏族女孩,叫旦增桑姆。今天想以一个演讲的形式唤起大家对粮食的珍惜。每一天,我们是这样过来的.
There is rice, vegetables, and soup. We have enough food in our breakfast, lunch and supper everyday. Maybe you still complain. To complain that the meal is not good enough; To complain that you like the food doesn't appear in your bowl. To complain that you have to eat vegetables you don't like.
现在,也许有人会说,我们早已远离食不果腹的年代。吃饱饭,吃好饭,已经成为司空见惯的事情,还有谁会在意粮食的由来,还有谁会在意随意丢弃的粮食呢?然而,现实情况令人堪忧。一方面,全世界人口与日俱增,粮食供应日益紧张,全世界还有很多地方与我国一些偏远贫困地区一样,人民生活水平极其低下,连最基本的温饱问题都尚未解决;另一方面,浪费粮食的行为屡见不鲜,就以我们身边为例,每次进餐,食堂里手机剩菜剩饭的大桶都被装得满满的,里面都是我们没吃完或觉得不好吃就随便倒掉的粮食。
Save food. Not just a slogan, not just a saying, not just a requirement. And we hope it can be rooted in our hearts and make us do something.
珍惜粮食,不只是一种观念,不只是一种口号,不只是因为我们一次又一次在倡导。我希望,珍惜粮食的观念能够根植在你我心中。
Save food, start from me, start from now.
