If the nations of the world do not reduce the gases which are causing global warming, sometime in the next century there is a serious risk of dramatic changes in climate which will change the way we live and the way we work, which could literally bury some island nations under mountains of water and undermine the economic and social fabric of nations.

如果世界各国不减少排放造成全球性升温的气体,下世纪的某个时候就会出现气候急剧变化的严重威胁,这将改变我们的生活和工作方式,某些岛国就会被大水淹没,某些国家的经济社会结构就会遭到破坏。
We must work together. We Americans know from our own experience that it is possible to grow an economy while improving the environment. We must do that together for ourselves and for the world.
我们必须大力合作。经验告诉我们美国人,在促使经济成长的同时保护环境是有可能的。为了我们自己也为了世界,我们必须做到这一点。
Building on the work that our Vice President, Al Gore, has done previously with the Chinese government, President Jiang and I are working together on ways to bring American clean energy technology to help improve air quality and grow the Chinese economy at the same time.
我国副总统戈尔已同中国政府合作开展了不少工作。在此基础上,我和江主席正在一起探讨方法,在中国引入美国的清洁能源技术,在促进中国经济发展的同时提高中国的空气质量。
But I will say this again—this is not on my remarks—your generation must do more about this. This is a huge challenge for you, for the American people and for the future of the world. And it must be addressed at the university level, because political leaders will never be willing to adopt environmental measures if they believe it will lead to large-scale unemployment or more poverty.
但我还要重申—这话不在我的讲稿上—在这一点上你们这一代还要有更多的作为。这对你们、对美国人民和世界的未来都是一个巨大的挑战。这个问题必须在大学里提出,因为如果政治领导人认为采取环保措施会导致大规模的失业或严重的贫困,他们就不愿意这样做。
