女兒學校每個三年級的小孩子都有一次演講荧飞，女兒的排在了學年末毫捣，主題是關(guān)于環(huán)保。女兒用了兩天時間就洋洋灑灑寫了近十頁遍尺，一試講九分鐘截酷，是學校要求時間的雙倍。經(jīng)我再三建議總算精簡了一半乾戏。
在學校的禮堂里迂苛，面對近二百人，女兒竟然絲毫沒有緊張歧蕉，侃侃而談灾部。從今天的天氣說起康铭，談到環(huán)境惯退，談到羅斯福總統(tǒng)設(shè)立的美國國家公園體系从藤，談到該體系的促成者自然學家John Muir催跪，并引用了一段John Muir的話夷野。然后是討論工業(yè)化使得人民逐漸喪失了對大自然的欣賞懊蒸，以及要改變對環(huán)保破壞的現(xiàn)狀需要大仁大愛勇氣和堅持，并倡議大家參與悯搔。隨后骑丸，她提到作為兒童并不意味著對于環(huán)保無所作為，而是從撿起身邊的垃圾及監(jiān)督身邊的人做起。同時通危，她倡議同學們要恪守身為Foothill學生所應(yīng)遵循的價值觀和理念铸豁，從身邊做起，并用衛(wèi)生間的情況舉例菊碟。她指出人類產(chǎn)生的污染已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致了許多動物滅絕节芥，并寫了一首名為“大地母親”的詩來表達大自然對人類行為的悲哀，號召大家去改變逆害。最后头镊，她提議大家今天做一件事：把所有看到的垃圾撿起來，并慷慨激揚地以“我們能夠改變魄幕，讓我們一起來證明相艇，謝謝大家！”作為結(jié)束語。
以上內(nèi)容僅為粗略翻譯丧慈。所有內(nèi)容全部出于女兒之手场靴。整個過程，我除了震撼就是震撼靡馁，九歲的孩子，絕對地“青出于藍而勝于藍”机久！要知道臭墨，我不擅于公開場合講話，而且寫這樣的稿件應(yīng)該至少是上大學后了膘盖。事后胧弛，老師評價她“不單單是用頭腦在講也是用心在講”，“非常有總統(tǒng)演講的風格”侠畔。
應(yīng)要求女兒演講的全文结缚，其中女兒只是用iPad查了半小時的名人關(guān)于環(huán)保的名言，約半小時抄下來软棺，其余部分都是她獨立寫的红竭。九歲的孩子可以獨立寫出這樣的文章，并聲情并茂地演講出來喘落，絕對地出乎意料茵宪，讓身為媽媽的我，也充滿了驕傲瘦棋！
演講稿正文
Isn’t it a cloudy and foggy morning outside?? （女兒提前準備了晴天稀火、下雨及陰天）What if it is like this all the time, and the air smelled like smoke, what if seeing blue skies and catching a glimpse of the sun was a rare treat?? Would you like that?? Believe it or not, there are some places in China where every day is like that.? People are working hard to save their air, but here in America, we can avoid that.? We decided to take the first step to a MOSTLY clean country when President Theodore Roosevelt created out country’s national parks.
今天外面是陰天多霧吧？（女兒提前準備了晴天赌朋，下雨及陰天）如果它一直像這樣凰狞，如果空氣聞起來像煙霧一樣篇裁，如果能夠看到蔚藍的天空和明媚的陽光是一種奢侈，你想要生活在那樣的地方嗎赡若？信不信由你茴恰，中國有一些地方每天都是這樣的。人們正在努力拯救他們的空氣斩熊，但在美國往枣，我們可以避免這種情況。當西奧多·羅斯阜矍總統(tǒng)創(chuàng)建了國家公園體系時分冈，我們在建設(shè)一個基本干凈的國家方面邁出了第一步。
In 1903, Roosevelt went on a camping trip with naturalist John Muir in a place Muir thought was the loveliest place on Earth – Yosemite!? Muir was the one who convinced Roosevelt to start the chain of national parks.
1903年霸株，羅斯福與自然學家約翰·繆爾一起去一個繆爾認為是地球上最美麗的地方 - 優(yōu)勝美地野營雕沉。繆爾是說服羅斯福建立美國國家公園體系的人去件。
I found some quotes that I really like.? They motivated me to do my part in helping the world BE clean and STAY clean.? I hope they will do the same for you, and always remember: you don’t have to be big or famous to make a difference.
我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些我非常喜歡的名人名言坡椒，他們激勵我盡我所能幫助世界變得干凈，保持清潔尤溜。我希望他們也會同樣的激勵你倔叼，并且讓你永遠記住：你不需要成為大人物或有名氣才能有所作為宫莱。
“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” – John Muir.? I think he means that everybody needs beauty in their lives, a place where they can be themselves.
“每個人都像需要面包一樣需要美景丈攒，需要一個可以玩耍和祈禱的地方，需要一個大自然可以治愈并為我們的身體和靈魂提供力量的地方”— 約翰繆爾授霸。我認為他意味著每個人的生命中都需要美麗巡验，都需要他們可以肆意做自己的地方。
Henry David Thoreau, an author and naturalist, once said, if a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.? Thoreau disagreed with that.? He thought if a man wonders the woods, it means he appreciates the wonder around him; if he destroys those woods, it means he cares nothing for beauty and only has his sights set on making money.
作家兼博物學家亨利?大衛(wèi)梭羅（Henry David Thoreau）曾經(jīng)說過碘耳，如果一個人每天有一半的時間在森林里閑逛显设，那么他就有可能被認為是一個懶散的人。但如果他把自己作為一個投機者辛辨，砍掉那些樹林捕捂，讓地球提前禿頂，他就被視為一個勤勞和進取的公民愉阎。梭羅不同意這一點绞蹦。他想如果一個人在森林里閑逛，那就意味著他欣賞他周圍的美景榜旦；如果他摧毀那些樹林，那就意味著他不在乎美景景殷，他的目標只是賺錢溅呢。
An actress named Ellen DeGenerous also shared her feelings.? She said, if we’re destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting our animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there’s got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
一位名叫Ellen DeGenerous的女演員也分享了她的感受澡屡。她說，如果我們摧毀我們的樹木咐旧，摧毀我們的環(huán)境驶鹉，傷害我們的動物，互相傷害彼此铣墨，那就必須有非常強大的能量來對抗它室埋。我想我們這個世界需要更多的愛。我們需要更多的善意伊约，更多的同情姚淆，更多的快樂，更多的笑聲屡律。我當然愿意為此付諸努力腌逢。
We’re destroying ourselves by destroying the environment.? We need the nature around us to live.? We need to reach down inside us and find that energy to fight those people who dream of a totally industrious world.? You would do that, wouldn’t you?
我們通過破壞環(huán)境來摧毀自己。我們需要我們周圍的自然才能生存超埋。我們需要深入了解我們內(nèi)心搏讶，并找到能量來對抗那些夢想一個完全工業(yè)化的世界的人。你也會那樣做的霍殴，是嗎媒惕？
As children, we often don’t think that we can do anything.? You can think that, but if you say “I can’t do anything” and then throw stuff on the ground, that’s not right.? Besides, you can do something.? You can pick up litter on the ground, even if it’s not yours.? If you see someone throw trash, tell them that they’re littering.? Don’t just stand there and gawk!
作為小孩子，我們常常認為自己無能為力来庭。你可以這么想吓笙，但如果你一邊說“我做不了什么”一邊往地上扔東西，那就不對了巾腕。畢竟你可以做點什么面睛。你可以在地上拾起垃圾，即使它不是你扔的尊搬。如果你看到有人扔垃圾叁鉴，告訴他們他們是在亂扔垃圾。不要只是站在那里冷眼旁觀佛寿。
We, as Foothill students, are a part of community that is dedicated to helping.? We have a reputation for being clean, but we’re not living up to that reputation.? Take the girls bathroom by the gym for instance, it’s been more than a few times that I’ve seen Cheese-its crumbled on the ground.
作為Foothill的學生幌墓，我們是致力于幫助他人的社區(qū)的一部分。我們有著干凈的聲譽冀泻，但我們遠沒有達到常侣。以健身房旁邊的女廁所為例，我已經(jīng)在地上看到過幾次碎奶酪了弹渔。
We, humans are polluting everywhere.? If not for some people fighting pollution, no animals would exist.? In fact, many of our animal friends have gone forever.? I wrote a poem called “Mother Earth”, I would like to share with you.
我們?nèi)祟惪偸堑教幬廴靖焓Ｈ绻皇怯腥嗽诓粩鄬刮廴荆瑒游锞蜁缫褱缃^肢专。事實上舞肆，我們的許多動物朋友已經(jīng)永遠消失了焦辅。我寫了一首名為“大地母親”的詩，我想跟大家分享一下椿胯。
Elephants, Zebras
Big and Small
Mother Earth
Made us all.
We, the smartest
must follow her will
We, the strongest
must try NOT to kill.
She is looking down upon us
A frown, she’s sad
Help her Now
Don’t make her mad.
She must wait and wait
For us to change
Reward her Now
Let her rate, who we really are.
大象筷登，斑馬，無論大小哩盲，地球母親養(yǎng)育了我們前方。
我們，最睿智的族群廉油，必須遵循她的意愿
我們惠险，最強大的族群，必須盡量不要殺害娱两。
她低頭看著我們莺匠，皺著眉頭，她很傷心
現(xiàn)在就幫助她十兢，不要讓她生氣趣竣。
她一直在等待，等待我們改變
現(xiàn)在回饋她旱物，讓她來評判遥缕，我們到底是什么樣
I would like to give each of you a challenge today: pick up every single piece of trash you see, even if it’s not yours.? We, children, can make a difference, and LET’S PROVE IT.? Thank you!
今天我想給大家每個人一個挑戰(zhàn)：撿起你看到的每一塊垃圾，即使它不是你的宵呛。我們单匣，作為小孩子們，仍然可以有所作為宝穗，讓我們一起來證明這一點户秤。謝謝！
