p.141 Cheap coffee bad for the environment

The fact that we can drink cheaper and cheaper coffee actually means coffee growers are getting less and less out

of the same field they plant. So they have to grow

more in order to maintain the income. This however,

means

destruction

to

forests

and

the

eco-environment.

With

every

cup

of

coffee

drunk,

we

are

helping

toward

the

destruction.

Every new round of earth exploration doesn

’

t bring human beings material enjoyment alone, but also ecological

catastrophe.

Forests

and

greenbelt

are

the

lungs

of

the

earth,

which

keep

the

air

on

the

earth

fresh

and

provide

necessary

oxygen

for

survival

of

animals.

But

with

the

development

of

human

society,

the

earth

’

s

lungs

are

shrinking dramatically due to destruction.

Dimos O’Brien, a scientist from the World Wildlife Conservation society,

said, if no appropriate protective measure is taken, every cup of coffee we drink brings damage to the environment

or even accelerates the extinction of some species.

Though people are spending more and more

money on coffee consumption, coffee

growers are getting less and

less. Partly due to the increased costs of production, storage, transportation and distribution, partly to the decreased

price

of

coffee.

To

get

as

much

profits

possible.

The

manufactures

and

sellers

have

to

go

all

out

to

lower

the

purchase price of coffee beans. The annual sales volume of coffee in USA is 70 billion US dollars, only 5.5 billion

goes to the coffee growers.

Sumatra is the second largest island of Indonesia and is known for its typical tropical rain forest and dozens of rare

animals and plants. The beautiful Sumatra is also home to cheap instant coffee. In order to maintain their income

against the dropping price, coffee growers have to plant more coffee trees. Since 1996 the coffee planting area on

the island has increased 28% at the price of 30% vanished forests. Ecological diversity is greatly destroyed in those

coffee plantations since only coffee trees are found making it difficult for wild animals to survive.

In order to protect the rare wildlife eco-environment, experts call on international society to protect the purchasing

price of coffee beans and the local governments to limit the expansion of coffee planting areas.

p.144 It

’

s time to be green

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

I feel humbled to be asked to give this speech. I feel like I am bringing coals to Newcastle in the presence of this

distinguished audience here.

The essence of my speech today is this: Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the

world. If you remember nothing else I hope you will never forget that all of you, everyone one of you, can make a

positive difference in this world. What's more, if you act collectively with other people, your influence will be that

much greater.

We need to make a difference, because we face real and serious threats to our very survival. We know there is only

one earth yet human beings refuse to respect that fact. We continually abuse the ecology of the planet to the point

that it is collapsing.

At

ground

level

the

earth

seems

huge,

indestructible,

but

beneath

the

surface

of

that

beautiful

blue

ocean

is

devastation.

Tonnes

of

fertilisers,

pesticides,

other

chemicals

and

silt

are

poisoning

and

smothering

marine

creatures.

In

many

places,

the

ocean

floor

is

barren,

where

bottom

trawling

has

felled

ancient

coral

forests

and

unique

marine

communities

still

unknown

to

science.

Many

species

of

fish

and

marine

mammals and

birds

are

gone or rare. Ecologists worldwide are warning that we face ecological collapse in the oceans, and that means the

collapse of our fishing industry too.

Climate

change

is

a

direct

consequence

of

our

massive

consumption

of

fossil

fuels:

coal,

gas

and

oil.

Our

oil

consumption has been so extravagant that we have used up, in just one century, around half of what the planet has

to

offer.

When

that

half-way

point

known

as

peak

oil

is

reached,

it

becomes

physically

impossible

to

increase

production no matter how hard you pump it.

When we reach that peak, demand will continue to rise, not just from Western societies that have used most of the

oil so far, but also from countries such as China and India, trying to catch up with our level of motorization and

industrialization.

Imagine

what

would

happen

to

the

planet

if

the

two

billion

people

in

those

two

countries

squandered resources like we do? We can't expect them to contain their consumption if we don't reduce ours.

Nature

has

its

limits

and

we

are

testing

them

to

breaking

point.

We

are

our

own

worst

enemy.

We

think

that

technology can solve everything when in fact many of our technologies, such as genetic engineering, are part of

the

problem.

We

can't

beat

nature,

but

we

can

work

with

it

to

live

within

its

income

rather

than

depleting

its

capital.

Instead

of

driving

even

faster

as

we

get

closer

to

the

edge

of

the

cliff,

it’s

time

to

slow

down.

It's

time

to

be green instead of greedy.

We need to change the way we live, to change the way we work, to change the way we do business and to change

the rules that governments make. That takes both personal and political will.

to live within its income rather than depleting its capital

老虎伍兹道歉声明

Tiger Woods' apology

Good morning and thank you for joining me. Many of you in this room are my friends. Many of you in this

room know me. Many of you have cheered for me or you've worked with me or you've supported me.

早上好，感谢各位的出席。在这间房间里的都是我的朋友，都很了解我，都是曾经为我欢 呼或者与我一同

工作或是曾经支持我的人。

Now every one of you has good reason to be critical of me. I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I

am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.

如今你们每个人都有充分的理由批评 我。我想要对你们每个人说，我对于我不负责任和自私的行为感到非

常抱歉。

I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could

have done these things to my wife Elin and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private

person, there are some things I want to say.

我知道人们都想知道为什么我可以这么自私和愚蠢， 人们想知道我怎么能对我的妻子埃琳和孩子们做出这

样的事，与此同时我依旧坚持我想要 做一个有隐私的人，这是我想说的。

Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As Elin pointed out to

me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words; it will come from my behavior over time. We

have a lot to discuss; however, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us.

埃琳和我已经开始讨论关于我的行为所造成的不良影响 。埃琳已经指出了很多，我对她的歉意已经难以用

言语来表达，而需要用我今后的行动来 证明。我们有很多事情需要商量，尽管如此，我们之间的言语只有

我们两个人知道。

I am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down, and I

have

let

down

my

fans.

For

many

of

you,

especially

my

friends,

my

behavior

has

been

a

personal

disappointment. To those of you who work for me, I have let you down personally and professionally. My

behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners.

我也意识到我的所作所为会给今天到场的 各位带来多大的伤害。我让你们失望了，让我的粉丝们失望了。

对于你们，特别是我的朋 友们，我的行为真的令我在你们心中的为人大打折扣。对于曾经跟我一起工作的

人们，在 个人行为和职业上我都令你们失望了。我的所作所为也给我的商业伙伴们造成了相当大的担忧。

To

everyone

involved

in

my

foundation,

including

my

staff,

board

of

directors,

sponsors,

and

most

importantly, the young students we reach, our work is

more important than ever. Thirteen years ago,

my

dad

and

I

envisioned

helping

young

people

achieve

their

dreams

through

education.

This

work

remains

unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California to the Earl

Woods

scholars

in

Washington,

D.C.,

millions

of

kids

have

changed

their

lives,

and

I

am

dedicated

to

making sure that continues.

对于每一个我飞基金会涉及到的人，包 括我的团队，董事会，赞助商和最重要的是我们帮助的孩子们。

13

年前，我的父亲和我就希望能够通过教育帮助孩子们实现他们的梦想。这个宗旨从来没有改变过，也会继

续发展下去。

从南加州的学生学习中心到华盛顿的厄尔

·

伍兹奖学金，

上百万的孩子们通过教育改写了他们

的人生，我会继续致力于这项事业得以延续。

But still, I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I could

have done the things I did. I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position.

与此同时，我知道我曾 经的行为让他们感到深深的失望。我让你们开始质疑我是一个怎样的人和怎么能做

出那样 的事。我感到很惭愧将你们陷入了这样的境地。

For all that I have done, I am so sorry.

对于我曾经做错的一切，我感到很抱歉。

I have a lot to atone for, but there is one issue I really want to discuss. Some people have speculated that Elin

somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It angers me that people would fabricate a story like

that. Elin never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been an episode of domestic violence

in our marriage, ever. Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal. Elin deserves praise,

not blame.

我有很多事情 需要补偿，但在此我有一件事需要澄清。有些人推测说感恩节那天晚上埃琳追打我，这令我

很愤怒居然有人捏造这样的故事。埃琳不管在那天还是任何一天从来没有打过我。我们的婚姻中根本不存

在家庭暴力。整件痛苦的事件中埃琳一直表现出巨大的宽容和镇静，她应该得到赞许而不是责备 。

The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated.

What I did is not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame.

事件 在与我一次又一次不负责任的行为，

我不忠，

我有外遇，我欺骗 了大家。

我所做的一切是不可接受的，

我是唯一一个应该受到谴 责的人。

I

stopped

living

by

the

core

values

that

I

was

taught

to

believe

in.

I

knew

my

actions

were

wrong,

but

I

convinced

myself

that

normal

rules

didn't

apply.

I

never

thought

about

who

I

was

hurting.

Instead,

I

thought

only

about

myself.

I

ran

straight

through

the

boundaries

that

a

married

couple

should

live

by.

I

thought

I

could

get

away

with

whatever

I

wanted

to.

I

felt

that

I

had

worked

hard

my

entire

life

and

deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't

have to go far to find them.

我没有按 照我曾经信仰的核心价值观生活。我知道我的行为是错的，但我一直给自己找借口。我从来没有

< br>想过我会伤害到谁。我只考虑了我自己。我踏出了建立在一对夫妇之间应有的底线。我一直以为我已经生< /p>

活得很努力，理所应当享受周遭的诱惑，我以为我有这个权利，由于金钱和名誉，我可以轻 而易举地获得

这些东西。

I was wrong. I was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone

apply

to

me.

I

brought

this

shame

on

myself.

I

hurt

my

wife,

my

kids,

my

mother,

my

wife's

family,

my

friends, my foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me.

我错了，我太愚蠢了。我并没有什么特权。界定所有人 的底线也是为我所设定。我为我自己感到羞耻。我

伤害了我的妻子，我的孩子，我的母亲 ，我妻子的家人，我的朋友，我的团队还有全世界喜欢我的孩子们。

I've had a lot of time to think about what I've done. My failures have made me look at myself in a way I

never wanted to before. It's now up to me to make amends, and that starts by never repeating the mistakes

I've made. It's up to me to start living a life of integrity.
