2
Mr. President, friends, Britons, countrymen, lend me your hearts.
3
I come to praise your country, not to bury it.
4
The evil that nations do lives after them.
5
The good is oft lost in moral panic.

So it is in this chamber.
7
My friend LaCrosse has said that the West has brought upon the Earth the curse of climate change,
8
that developing nations are victims, and the West is to blame.
9
It is hard to remember what one has not seen, what life was like before,
10
a century ago, or two or three, for the mass of humanity across the earth,
11
a life of subsistence, hand to mouth,
12
dawn to dusk, nasty, brutish, and short.
13
90% in extreme poverty.
14
And then, gradually, rescued by revolution.
15
Not resistance, not marching in the streets, not by their revolution, but by yours.
16
By the industrial revolution that raised humanity from the ditch.
17
The developing embrace it, their people rise and prosper,
18
which makes them victims, and the West is to blame.
19
Where developing once met poor and weak,
20
it now includes the largest engines on this earth, Not Ethiopia or Tuvalu.

China, India, Indonesia, Brazil.

Those poor and weak whose economies are larger than our own.

What matters is the total.
37
from developing two-thirds and then three-quarters, and on and up we go, enough.
38
Except developing countries are victims and the West is there to blame.
39
The West has no right, they say, no right to save us all.
40
No tit for tat, that's tyranny.

42
They will not restrain themselves, for they are just developing.
43
I am naive.
44
I thought the cause was climate change.

Called developing nations victims.

Surrender this, this counting up on ledgers of the past, reparations, apologies, accounting on behalf of people long dead,
67
who lived in different times.
68
We know not of their lives, the judgments that they made.
69
We should start from where we are, deal with what we have, deal with people here and now,
70
the ones who are alive, with intent to act within a deal to save the earth,
71
with rules that apply equally to every nation.
72
If climate change is as you say,
73
no trifling thing but end of days,
74
the answer is clear for all to say.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
