威廉王子 | 2022年“地球奋斗奖”开幕式致辞

Good evening. We're the Earthshot Prize are all so grateful for the welcome we receive this evening here in Boston over the last few days.

晚上好！“地球奋斗奖”项目所有人都非常感谢在过去几天和今晚在波士顿受到的欢迎。

When I founded this prize in 2020, it was with the ambition to harness the same spirit of ingenuity that inspired President John F Kennedy, to challenge the American people to put a person on the moon within a decade.

肯尼迪总统当年向美国人民挑战，在十年内将人类送上地球，正是怀着和他一样的创新精神的雄心，我在2020年创立了这个奖项。

So it has been an honor to share the stories of our Earthshot winners and finalists from the heart of his hometown. I believe that the Earthshot solutions you've seen this evening prove we can overcome our planet's greatest challenges. And by supporting and scaling them we can change our future.

因此，我很荣幸能在肯尼迪总统的家乡与大家分享“地球奋斗奖”获奖者和入围选手的故事。我相信，你们今晚看到的这些解决方案能证明我们可以克服地球面临的最大挑战。通过支持并扩大这些项目，我们可以改变我们的未来。

Alongside tonight's winners and finalists and those to be discovered over the years to come, it's my hope the Earthshot Legacy will continue to grow helping our communities and our planet to thrive.

除了今晚的获奖者和入围者，以及那些将在未来几年被发掘的入围者，我希望“地球奋斗奖”的精神遗产将继续发展，帮助我们的社会和地球的繁荣发展。

And in the same way the space effort six decades ago created jobs, boosted economies and provided hope, so too can the solutions born of tonight's Earthshot Prize winners.

六十年前人类飞出太空的努力创造了就业机会，促进了经济发展，带来了希望，今晚“地球奋斗奖”得主提出的解决方案也能起到同样的作用。

The decisions we make now will affect generations to come, which is why we must choose the path of hope, optimism and urgency to repair our planet.

我们现在所作的决定将影响子孙后代，这就是我们必须选择希望、乐观和紧迫的道路来修复我们地球的原因。

Thank you!

谢谢！
