New Year is a time of looking both ways.

新年是辭舊迎新的時刻。

January is named after Janus, who is well known for looking in two directions.

一月(January)是以羅馬神話中的天門神雅努斯(Janus)之名而命名的。雅努斯以同時看兩個方向而著稱。

So as we begin a new year, let us think a little bit about the year that has just passed.

新年伊始,讓我們對剛剛過去的一年稍做回顧。

In some ways, it has been a very discouraging year for those of us who care about the future of life on this planet.

在某種意義上,對於那些關心地球未來命運的人來說,過去這一年乏善可陳。

But in other ways, there is much to be hopeful for.

然而,換個角度,卻又頗有希望。

The failure of governments, especially the US government to give any leadership whatever in the right direction, has led in the United States, and I think more broadly around the world, to many people even as individuals feeling they must take some responsibility, they must be the actors.

政府的失敗,特別是美國政府未能在正確的方向顯示領導力,致使美國乃至全世界民眾感到自己必須負起責任來,必須成為行動者。

And its not just individuals, it's the mayors of city, and the governors of states, and the leaders of provinces.

這些個人不僅僅是普通老百姓,還有市長、州長、省長。

We should not fail to notice that many businesses have also committed themselves to action in the right direction.

我們同樣註意到很多企業也已經朝著正確的方向行動瞭。

All of that may not amount too much, it maybe that the only thing that could save us would be new laws, command from above.

所有這一切也許仍是杯水車薪。看起來唯一可以拯救我們的,似乎是新法律法規和上層指示。

But I would like to think that if masses of people around the world decide that last year there were many good beginnings, and in 2018 they are going to carry the flag forward, they are going to make it haNVR監控錄影主機ppen.

但我願意相信,假若全世界廣大民眾認定2017年的許多開端是好的,他們要繼續舉著大旗前行,目標就可以實現!

I shouldn t say南投監視器安裝 they, I am talking about We. We are going to make it happen.

我不該南投監視器材料說 他們 。我是說 我們 。我們將實現它!

Then perhaps, people will look back to 2017, 2018 as the really turning, the real turn from the drift towards self-destruction, towards humanity seizing the situation in its own hands, human beings everywhere, and saying we are not going to be simply sheep led to the slaughter, we are going to be real human beings who think for ourselves and act for ourselves, and determine to pass on a planet to our children, one that is habitable, one that can give joy and meaning to life.

唯其如此,日後當人們回首2017和2018年,會把它看作是真正的轉折點:人類從自我毀滅的歧路轉身,把命運掌握在自己手裡,我們不再僅僅作為待宰的羔羊,我們將成為真正的人,自主思考,自覺行動,並且堅定不移要把一個宜居的、給生命以喜樂和意義的地球交到孩子們手裡。

Let us make 2018 a great year!

讓我們一道把2018變成舉足輕重的一年!D9AAA8BC1CFA0B0E
