Going Green

    Green is no longer just a color. It is a new way of thinking about the world and a way of living your life. It's catching on all over the world. More and more people decide to “go green” because they know that we only have one planet to live on. We won't be able to live on it much longer if we keep wasting energy, and destroying(破坏) our home with air, land, and water pollution.

    “Green Living” means:

    Understanding that your choices affect(影响) not just you, but everybody everywhere.

    Understanding that your choices affect not just today, but the future.

    Understanding that when we talk about “saving the planet” or “saving the environment,” we are actually talking about saving ourselves!

    You may be thinking: “Hey, I'm just one person, on a planet with billions. I can't really make a difference.” Well, have you ever seen a group of people do “the wave(波浪)”? It always starts off with one or two people, jumping up and down like crazy. Soon thousands of people are joining in. “Going green” is just like that. It starts with small, simple actions. It can soon build into a wave that will change the whole planet and lead us all to healthier, happier lives.

    Many students have already shared with us their efforts to help the environment:

    Gabrielle, 12, writes, “I have helped my community plant a garden and I ride my bike or skateboard to school.”

    Kaitlyn, 10, says, “Lots of paper towels are thrown away, so I use a reusable cloth towel to dry my hands instead.”

    “I always recycle(重复利用)” says Natalie, 13. “You can call me a recycler! I always look at the bottom of things. I want to see whether they have the little sign that tells you it can be recycled. So I almost recycle everything!”

    Now it's your turn to think about how you can “go green”. Make important choices and take actions to improve the environment right around you and the health of the whole world.

    伏尔泰直接面对这种轻薄无聊而又凄惨忧郁的社会,独自一人,眼前是各种力量的联合,宫廷、贵族、金融界;这支不自觉的力量,是盲目的一大群人;这批无恶不作的法官,他们媚上欺下,俯伏于国王之前,凌驾于人民之上(喝彩);这批虚伪、狂热、阴险兼而有之的神职人员,伏尔泰,我再说一遍,独自一人对这个社会一切丑恶力量的大联合,对这个茫茫的恐怖世界宣战,他接受战斗。他的武器是什么?这武器轻如和风,猛如雷电——一枝笔。(鼓掌)

    他用这武器战斗,他用这武器战胜敌人。伏尔泰战胜了敌人。他孤军奋战,打了响当当的一仗。这是一场伟大的战争,是思想反对物质的战争,理智反对偏见的战争,正义反对非正义的战争,被压迫者反对压迫者的战争,是仁慈的战争,温柔的战争。伏尔泰具有女性的温情和英雄的怒火,他具有伟大的头脑和浩瀚无际的心胸。(喝彩)

    他战胜了古老的法典、陈旧的教条。他战胜了封建的君主、中世纪式的法官、罗马天主教式的神甫。他把人的尊严赋予黎民百姓。他教导人,安抚人,教化人。他为西尔旺和蒙巴伊斗争,如同他为卡拉斯和拉巴尔斗争;他承受了一切威胁,一切侮辱,一切迫害,污蔑,流亡。他不屈不挠,坚定不移。他以微笑战胜暴力,以嘲笑战胜专制,以讥讽战胜宗教的自以为是,以坚毅战胜顽固,以真理战胜愚昧。

    我刚才用过两个字,微笑,我说一下。微笑,就是伏尔泰。

    各位先生,我们要这样说,因为,平静是这位哲学家伟大的一面,平衡的心态在伏尔泰身上最终总会重新确立。不论他正义的愤怒多大,总会过去,恼羞成怒的伏尔泰总会让位于心平气和的伏尔泰。于是,从这深邃的双目里露出了微笑。

    这是睿智的微笑。这微笑,我再说一遍,就是伏尔泰。这微笑有时变成放声大笑,但是,其中蕴涵有哲理的忧伤。对于强者,他是嘲笑者;对于弱者,他是安抚者。他使压迫者不安,使被压迫者安心。以嘲笑对付权贵;以怜悯安抚百姓。啊!我们应为这微笑感动。这微笑里含有黎明的曙光。它照亮真理,正义,仁慈和诚实;它把迷信的内部照得透亮,这样的丑恶看看是有好处的,它让丑恶显示出来。它有光,有催生的能力。新的社会,平等、让步的欲望和这叫做宽容的博爱的开始,相互的善意,给人以相称的权利,承认理智是最高的准则,取消偏见和成见,心灵的安详,宽厚和宽恕的精神,和谐,和平,这些都是从这伟大的微笑中出来的。
