Ladies and Gentlemen:
女士们，先生们：
[1] Good morning! It’s my great honor to be elected as the chairman of the Green Earth Society. Words can not express how much I appreciate this honor. Thank you all for your support and for your confidence in me. As I take this position, I’ll do my best, together with all our volunteer members of this organization, to promote environmental protection locally and globally, and to make more and more people become eco-conscious.
[1] 早上好！获选绿色地球协会的主席，我感到非常荣幸。言语表达不了我对此荣誉的万分感激。非常感谢大家的支持和信任。在我就职之后，我会尽自己的最大努力，与本组织的所有志愿者会员一起，促进地区和全球范围内的环境保护，并使越来越多的人树立环保意识。
[2] “Why should I be eco-conscious?” you ask. There is a very simple reason: We live on one earth, and this is the only place we can live right now. We can't live in space, we don't have the food growing capacity out there yet for lots of people to survive. If we treat the earth like the city dump it becomes dirty and unlivable. If we treat it well by being eco-conscious, the earth stays a clean place, perfect for living, for ourselves and for our children.
[2] 你们可能会问，“我们为什么要有环保意识？”原因很简单：我们生活地球上，而且这是目前我们唯一可以居住的地方。我们无法去太空生活，我们无法在那里生产足够的食品供很多人生存。如果我们把地球当作城市垃圾堆一样对待，地球会变得肮脏不堪，无法生存。如果我们个个都有环保意识，好好地对待地球，那么地球会保持干净，非常适合生活，不仅适合我们，也适合我们的子孙。
[3] We are now living in a highly industrialized world. The expanding industries are providing us with more and more convenience and comfort. But I want to remind you that, owing to overdeveloping of natural resources, our earth is facing a disaster. Our air is being poisoned everyday by car fumes, our oceans polluted with toxic wastes, and our beautiful rainforests are being destroyed.
[3] 我们生活在一个高度工业化的世界。不断膨胀的工业给我们提供了很多方便和舒适。但我想提醒大家，由于自然资源的过度开发，我们的地球正面临一场灾难。我们的空气每天都受到汽车燃气的毒化，我们的海洋遭到有毒废物的污染，而我们美丽的热带雨林也遭到破坏。
[4] We all moan and groan about the loss of the quality of life through the destruction of our ecology, and yet each one of us, in our own little comfortable ways, contributes daily to that destruction. It's time now to awaken in each one of us the respect and attention our beloved mother deserves.
[4] 我们都抱怨由于生态破坏造成的生活质量下降，然而，我们每个人，由于贪图自己的一点点舒适，每天都在加剧这种破坏。现在是我们每个人都要唤醒心中对地球的尊敬与关注的时候了，这是我们深爱的母亲所应受的。
[5] So, I ask all of you present to join hands in finding ways to make the earth a better place to live. Let’s work hard to improve our society. Ask not what our society can do for you, ask what you can do for our society.
[5] 因此，我要求在座各位携起手来，想尽办法使我们的地球变成一个更适合生活的地方。让我们一起努力来改善我们这个社会。不要问社会能为你做什么，而要问你能为社会做什么。
[6] I sincerely hope that, with our joint effort, we will start our days differently –– we wake up in the morning with the sun shining, trees bursting with strength, and flowers smiling at us. And when I say this, I know I speak for every human resident on this planet.
[6] 我衷心希望，通过我们的共同努力，我们的生活将会大变样——早上起来，阳光明媚，树木葱葱，生机勃勃，花儿朝我们微笑。我知道，我这么说是代表这个地球上每一个人的心声。
[7] Thank you for your support and effort. Your contribution means a great deal not only to this organization, but also to the whole world.
[7] 感谢你们的支持与努力。你们的贡献意义重大，不仅是对于这个协会，而且对于整个世界。
[8] Finally, I wish you the best luck in everything you do!
[8] 最后，我衷心祝愿各位万事如意！
