关于环境污染的英语演讲稿 - 英语演讲稿 <br />we are a normal member of the big family of nature <br /> good afternoon everybody. <br /> honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen. today ， we are <br />gathering here to discuss a very hot issue. how to find harmony <br />in a new age between man and nature? where modern science and <br />technology are concerned i am only a layman i have to say. <br />however, living in this new age , seeing my dear ones suffering <br />from respiratory diseases from time to time, finding the <br />beautiful colors of green and blue are being replaced by that <br />of gray and pale, and realizing that our mother planet is <br />getting more and more unhealthy; i cant help trying to offer <br />my idea and my trivial efforts to look for the answer of the <br />question. <br /> as the ancient greek oracle goes: know thyself. i think in <br />answering this above-mentioned question, this precondition is <br />also very important. <br /> who are we? this is a question, which should be answered <br />not only by those specialists, but also by every one of human <br />beings. <br /> some people may proudly say: we are the masters of nature. <br />it is true that the idea of man can conquer nature has dominated <br />peoples mind for years, and it is true, man has kept acting like <br />a master and doing whatever things he wants for thousands of <br />years. however, as the consequence of this kind of leadership , <br />now the master seems to be confronted with problems that are <br />far beyond his control. facts are really very ample. the <br /> green house effect leaves islands and cities along the <br />coast, such as this oriental pearl-shanghai, in danger of the <br />disaster of being drowned; the holes of the ozone layer make <br />the earth less suitable to live for some creatures including <br />human beings; the phenomena of el nino and la nina leave the <br />land with serious flood and drought, and the diseases, caused <br />by pollution, are increasing at an incredible speed... seeing <br />all these facts, can we still ignore the counterattack of nature? <br />we are not the masters of nature. facing all the disasters made <br />by ourselves, we, mankind as a whole should realize that we are <br />just a normal member of the big family of nature. any <br />mistreatment towards nature will meet only with the revenge <br />from her. <br /> by saying so, i do not mean we should give a sudden stop <br />to any development. because that will result in a threat to the <br />existence of human society. i mean we should treat nature <br />equally, leaving the chance of existence and development to <br />nature as we are obtaining the same thing, and thus we will get <br />the situation of win-win. <br /> i am very pleased to find that now more and more people, <br />from every corner of the planet, have come to realize that <br />harmony with nature is the only way to universal and continuous <br />progress and prosperity. and i think that is why we come here <br />from all over the country to discuss this topic today. <br /> i want to end my speech by quoting from mr. nixon. our <br />destiny offers, not the cup of despair, but the chalice of <br />opportunity. the future is not ours to see of course. however, <br />by seizing firmly the opportunities, by knowing clearly about <br />ourselves, we, human beings, can doubtlessly achieve the real <br />harmony with nature! <br /> thank you very much.
