What a wonderful film.  I thank all those who made it possible.

 

非常棒的短片，感谢所有人员的努力。

 

There were no car chases, no special effects, no kung fu fights.  But it still had me on the edge of my seat.

 

片中没有飞车追逐、没有特效加工、没有功夫表演，但仍使我看得心潮澎湃。

 

It is exciting to hear people’s dreams for the future.  We are all part of the great human project of building a better world for all.  Good ideas can come from anywhere, anyone, of any age.

 

听到中国民众倾诉对未来的梦想让我很激动。这部片子提醒我们，创造更美好的世界是一个伟大的人类工程，我们都是这个工程的一部分。无论何人何地，何种年龄，都可能贡献好的创意。

 

As Secretary-General of the United Nations, I spend a lot of time thinking about the future.

 

作为现任联合国秘书长，我时常思索未来。

 

And we already know a great deal about the year 2032.

UN forecasts tell us that world population will continue to grow.

Sixty per cent of us will be living in cities, as the global trend towards urbanization continues to accelerate.

 

随着全球城市化进程持续加速，60％的人将会成为城市居民。

 

We know that we will need 50 per cent more food, 45 per cent more energy and 30 per cent more water — just to continue to live as we do today.

 

我们对食物的需求将会增加50％，能源需求增加45％，水资源需求增加30％——如果我们持续现行生活方式的话。

 

Here’s something else we know: if we continue on our present path for the next 20 years, we risk global catastrophe.

 

我们还知道，如果继续按照现行模式发展下去，20年后我们将会面临全球性大灾难。

 

The human footprint has already overstepped the planet’s boundaries -- and not just in terms of carbon emissions.

 

人类的发展已经逾越了地球能够承受的最大限度——这不仅仅是在碳排放方面。

 

We need a new course that truly balances economic growth, social development and environmental stewardship.

That was also the vision set out a generation ago, at the first Earth Summit.
