珍妮·古道尔博士 | 当我们停下会发生什么

It starts as a whisper,

风轻轻地吹拂，

A word on the air.

送来袅袅私语。

It can't quite be heard,

它飘渺如幻音，

But you know that it's there.

但心知其存在。

As gentle as sunlight,

温柔如暖阳，

As tenacious as hail,

坚韧如冰雹，

In its route to the heart,

在通往内心的路上，

It could not but prevail.

它始终不可战胜。

And the people looked up

随后，人们从

From their day-to-day tasks,

他们日复一日的琐事中，

Their day-to-day jobs

朝九晚五的工作里，

And their day-to-day masks.

和密不透风的口罩下抬起了头。

They heard or they felt

他们用心倾听感受，

Where the whisper could lead,

跟随那耳语的指引，

And they looked with eyes wide

他们睁大眼睛注视

At what that might mean.

找寻其中的涵义。

And once they could see it,

一旦人们看见它，

They hadn't a chance

便无法抗拒

To resist the sweet song

这绕梁不绝的美妙歌声

Of the deep spell it cast.

和其中蕴含的魔咒。

But the feeling it brought them

但这种感觉也给带给他们

At first glance was pain,

乍一看是痛苦，

As they lifted their eyes

但当他们抬头远眺，

On the land they had claimed.

站在他们声称拥有的土地上。

Since they saw at last as if raised from a dream,

最后他们看到仿佛只存在梦境的画面时，

They were almost alone on the land and the sea.

终于明白他们才是地球上最孤独的存在。

For the trees had almost gone

眼前的森林几乎消失殆尽，

and the bees had almost gone,

蜜蜂早已不见了踪影，

And the creatures in their shells

以贝壳为家的小动物们，

by the seas had almost gone.

在海边也销声匿迹了。

And the people felt sad as they saw their new Earth,

当人们看到这个“崭新”的地球时悲伤不已，

But they knew this was it, one wild chance for rebirth.

但他们知道现在是时候给地球一个重生的机会。

Breaking new ground, seeds rolling down,

开垦崭新的土地，洒下希望的种子，

Smell of the earth on your hands and your brow.

将双手和额头，都沾上泥土的芬芳。

No time for sorrow, 

没有时间沉湎于悲伤，

we're building tomorrow.

我们正在重建未来。

The sound of things growing now

万物生长的声音

keeps us around.

让我们得以生存。

As the wildness grows

森野在蔓延，

and the deep wood grows,

密林在扩张，

And the sense that the future's

你感受的未来正

come to meet you grows.

迎面而来，愈发强烈。

There's no chance we can rest.

现在不能停下脚步，

We must do our best.

我们必须全力以赴。

This moment can lead us back home,

此刻将引领我们重回家园，

That's our test.

这是我们的考验。

It starts as a whisper,

风轻轻地吹拂，

A word on the air.

送来袅袅私语。

It can't quite be heard,

它飘渺如幻音，

But you know that it's there.

但心知其存在。

It then spoke like thunder

然其声如惊雷，

until we all moved.

直至我们开始行动。

And we could, and we did, and it's done.

我们能行，只要去做，就能成功。

She's renewed.

自然便获得了重生。
