A Letter of Appeal

一封倡議書
June 17, 2011

2011年6月17日
Dear friends,

親愛的朋友們，
I am writing this letter to call on everyone to pay attention to the present disasters caused by human activities. As some of you may know, over the past years, floods, droughts, landslides, and dust storms have frequented our planet. Not long ago, tsunami swept the Southeast Asia, which caused enormous damage. All these have sounded an alarm to human beings. So it is high time that we join efforts to save our planet.

我寫這封信是想呼吁大家關(guān)注目前由人類活動造成的災(zāi)害。你們有些人可能知道，在過去的幾年中，洪水，干旱，滑坡，和沙塵暴時常發(fā)生在我們的星球。不久前，海嘯橫掃東南亞，造成了巨大的損失。所有這些都給人類敲響了警鐘。所以現(xiàn)在正是我們共同努力拯救我們的地球的時候。
Above all, a task of top priority for us is to plant trees as many as possible, especially in the arid areas. At the same time, we should stop deforesting in large amount. And we can save our planet through many other ways, such as saving water and using recycled paper.

首先，我們首要的任務(wù)就是盡可能多地植樹造林，特別是在干旱地區(qū)。同時，我們應(yīng)該停止大量砍伐森林。我們還可以通過很多其他的方式來拯救我們的地球，如節(jié)約水和使用再生紙。
So don’t hesitate to act out these measures. Even a small action is meaningful to our planet. Please join us in the action of protecting our planet. If you are willing to do something to save our planet, please start from the little thing right around you. Thank you!

所以不要猶豫采取這些措施。即使是很小的行動對我們的地球也是有意義的。請加入我們保護地球的行動。如果你愿意做一些事來拯救我們的地球，請從你身邊的小事做起。謝謝！
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

真誠的 李明
