WinstonChung在聯(lián)合國(guó)的發(fā)言稿

1、NEWSWinston Chung在聯(lián)合國(guó)的發(fā)言稿2011年10月13日Clean energy philanthropist Winston Chung was the inaugural recipient of the United Nations Association of New Yorks award honoring outstanding social entrepreneurs pursuing philanthropic ideals and social good Thursday October 13, 2011 at the organizations annual

2、 gala.The award recognizes innovative and exemplary social entrepreneurship and was presented annually to an individual of global stature. In Chungs acceptance speech he said:秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)，主席，各位獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)?，各位嘉賓，各位朋友：被選為紐約聯(lián)合國(guó)協(xié)會(huì)首屆社會(huì)企業(yè)家和慈善家年獎(jiǎng)的獲獎(jiǎng)人，在下感到無(wú)比驚喜和榮幸。Excellencies, Madam President, fellow honorees, distinguished

3、guests and friends: I am very humbled and honored to have been selected as the inaugural recipient of the Social Entrepreneur & Philanthropist of the Year Award by the United Nations Association of New York. 我通過(guò)技術(shù)改善人類(lèi)生存條件的努力得到了這樣一個(gè)受世人尊重的組織的認(rèn)可，是十分喜悅的事情。It is most gratifying to be recognized for my ef

4、forts to improve the human condition through socially responsible business and technology, by such a respected group. 和當(dāng)今世界面臨的整體挑戰(zhàn)相比，我所做的貢獻(xiàn)十分渺小。My contribution is very small compared to enormous challenges facing the world today. 不過(guò)，我希望，通過(guò)我的例子，和其他辛勤工作在各條戰(zhàn)線(xiàn)上，以滿(mǎn)足世界對(duì)清潔環(huán)境和更多能源需求的更多人的例子，能夠使得全世界的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和企業(yè)家集中

5、到從根本上改變我們對(duì)能源的創(chuàng)造，傳輸和存儲(chǔ)However, I hope, that by my example, and the example of many others also working for a cleaner environment and more efficient energy, leaders and entrepreneurs of the world will be inspired to focus on fundamentally changing the way we create, deliver, store and use energy. 從有關(guān)公

6、開(kāi)的資料我們知道，2009年, 美國(guó)只是一個(gè)德州，耗電量就高達(dá)81000億Kw，其中因峰谷用電每年浪費(fèi)7800億Kw， 相當(dāng)于每年損失1700億美元。According to official figures, In the United States, in just one state, Texas, power consumption in 2009 was 8.1 trillion Kw, and annual power wasted, due to differential on-peak and off-peak usage, was around 0.78 trillion K

7、w , equal to $170 billion dollar. 如果我們每年能將美國(guó)德州浪費(fèi)的1700億美元電費(fèi)撿回來(lái)，美國(guó)每年就可非常容易地給那些失業(yè)大軍每人每年發(fā)放一萬(wàn)九千美元的生活救濟(jì)金With the 170 billion dollars of wasted power in the state of Texas alone, the US government could distribute roughly $19,000in annual benefits to every unemployed person in the country. 全世界對(duì)能源與日俱長(zhǎng)的需求以及對(duì)

8、環(huán)境顯著改善的需要，人類(lèi)必須要依靠一種新的方法徹底改變無(wú)休止地浪費(fèi)能源的事實(shí)現(xiàn)象。Ever increasing worldwide energy demand and the imperative for environmentally sustainable solutions are impossible to achieve if people do not embrace radical change and use energy less wastefully. New paradigms are urgently needed.為此，我傾注了我的精力和我的資源。我這樣做的信念，即

9、用現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)和傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀相結(jié)合，為應(yīng)對(duì)能源浪費(fèi)的挑戰(zhàn)提供最好的解決機(jī)會(huì)。I have devoted my life and resources to this cause. I have done so with the belief that combining traditional values and modern scientific technology best provides the framework for meeting the global challenge of energy wastage. 我接受的傳統(tǒng)中國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)培訓(xùn)也在影響著我一生的工作方法。無(wú)論是考慮到可

10、充電電池的內(nèi)在工作原理或考慮到今日能源的使用方式，和諧是必不可少的。My training in traditional Chinese medicine has also influenced my approach to my lifes work. Harmony is the essential principlewhether one is considering the internal workings of a rechargeable battery or the way in which energy is produced, transferred or used. 我在

11、十三年前開(kāi)始重點(diǎn)研究如何通過(guò)儲(chǔ)電、放電來(lái)減少峰谷用電差的損耗。五年前已成功地采用自己發(fā)明的生命源稀土鋰億蓄電池規(guī)?；度敕骞葍?chǔ)電。Thirteen years ago, I began focusing on trying to reduce the loss of energy during off-peak power hours through power storage and discharge. Five years ago, I successfully used my invention, the life source rare earth lithium-yttrium b

12、attery, to implement large scale off-peak electricity storage. 這種儲(chǔ)電方式就是如何實(shí)際地將人類(lèi)長(zhǎng)年白白浪費(fèi)的電能撿回來(lái)的過(guò)程By using rechargeable batteries, one is able to convert wasted energy into useable energy for many years.另一種對(duì)能源的極大浪費(fèi)是使用內(nèi)燃發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。Another great waste of power is the internal combustion engine. 人類(lèi)100多年來(lái)因?yàn)橛辛似?chē)，所以

13、得以飛躍般發(fā)展，但是現(xiàn)在也由于地球上每天8億多輛汽車(chē)在奔跑，全球因?yàn)槠?chē)尾部排放的污染物質(zhì)等于每一小時(shí)給地球強(qiáng)注450噸的二氧化碳等有害化合物。The invention of the automobile enabled giant leaps in social progress. However, more than 800 million cars running each day emit about 450 tons of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances into the air we breathe. 僅中、美兩國(guó)每天24小

14、時(shí)就耗掉地球上一億五千萬(wàn)桶燃油！China and the United States consume 150 million barrels of oil a day.為了拯救全人類(lèi)、為了保護(hù)我們賴(lài)以生存的地球，我們必須選擇清潔環(huán)保的綠色交通工具，電動(dòng)車(chē)必須是我們運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)的未來(lái)。To save mankind and protect the earth, we must choose clean and environmentally friendly transportation. Electric vehicles are the future. 如果不這樣做會(huì)使世界上更多的能源被消耗，

15、同時(shí)對(duì)世界造成的高污染將無(wú)法再恢復(fù)。 Otherwise, we condemn the world to ever higher energy costs and rampant pollution from which we can never recover. 很幸運(yùn)的是，我從人體生命科學(xué)原理中悟出了可充電電池具有的更優(yōu)秀性能，成功地在稀土鋰釔儲(chǔ)能電池基礎(chǔ)上，開(kāi)發(fā)出能量密度十分適用于移動(dòng)式能源的稀土鋰硫電池。I was fortunate to discover the superior performance of rechargeable batteries using scient

16、ific and bio-inspired principles. I successfully developed environmentally friendly, recyclable lithium-sulfur batteries which have an optimal energy density for mobile energy storage and usage. 這種從制造使用到回收再制造使用的環(huán)保稀土鋰硫電池不但適應(yīng)快速充電，而且一次充電的旅游巴士續(xù)航里程可達(dá)上千英里！These batteries are very suitable for fast chargin

17、g and also allow a tour bus to run for up to one thousand miles per charge! 本人希望能夠鼓勵(lì)其他人擴(kuò)大對(duì)這種技術(shù)的開(kāi)發(fā)和利用。I have further encouraged others to expand development and use of this technology. 我最近在世界著名的加州大學(xué)建立了溫斯頓鐘全球能源中心，研究和發(fā)展清潔能源技術(shù)解決方法，這是令我感到非常自豪的舉措之一。I recently created the Winston Chung Global Energy Center

18、 within the University of California at Riverside. This initiative, of which I am very proud, promotes research and development of clean tech energy solutions.我也贊助了其他研究性大學(xué)在其他方面的研究，并向直接涉及交通運(yùn)輸行業(yè)的企業(yè)進(jìn)行了大量投資。I have also sponsored other research projects at major research universities and invested heavily

19、 in businesses directly involved in the clean transportation sector. 我所做的這一切，是因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為目前世界所面臨的能源問(wèn)題和其對(duì)環(huán)境造成的負(fù)面影響，必須由最優(yōu)秀的頭腦和商業(yè)模式來(lái)解決，這樣才能成功地滿(mǎn)足能源需求和壞境的改善。I believe we need to support the best minds and business models focused on addressing energy challenges and respect for the environment.聯(lián)合國(guó)實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的“千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)

20、”, 迫切需要引起世界的關(guān)注。The seventh United Nations Millennium Development Goal has drawn the worlds attention to the critical need to achieve sustainability. 聯(lián)合國(guó)將憑借著其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，激勵(lì)許多個(gè)人，企業(yè)和國(guó)家的專(zhuān)門(mén)人才和資源，以實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)。With its leadership, the United Nations will motivate many individuals, companies and nations to devote talent and resources to attaining this critical goal. 今晚收到的這一榮譽(yù)，是對(duì)我所做的渺小努力的認(rèn)可。The honor I have received tonight is a welcome recognition of the small ef
