NBC晚间新闻 在世界地球日向往未来

Finally on this 50th anniversary, signs of hope on an Earth Day like no other. As spring flowers bloom and the sun shines, we know this season of rebirth will be unlike any other. While we stay inside, outside, mother nature is thriving. The water in Italy's Venice canals clear. Sheep in Wales roam free. As lions in south Africa soak in the sun. And in New Delhi the skyline is finally visible.

The north east of the U.S. air pollution down 30% and los Angeles getting its longest stretch of clean air. So while scientists caution the changes might be temporary, let this be a reminder¹ that we have the power to impact our environment forever. A glimmer² of hope in these painful times. You just have to know where to look.

最后，在这个50周年纪念日，在这个独一无二的地球日，我们看到了希望的迹象。春天百花盛开，阳光普照，我们知道这个重生的季节将不同于其他任何季节。不论我们待在室内还是室外，自然母亲都在欣欣向荣。意大利威尼斯河道的水是清澈的。羊群在威尔士自由自在地漫步。南非的狮子沐浴在阳光下。在新德里，天际线终于清晰可见。美国东北部的空气污染下降了30%，洛杉矶迎来了史上最长时间的清洁空气。因此，尽管科学家警告说，这种变化可能是暂时的，就让它提醒我们，我们有能力永远影响我们的环境。在这痛苦的时刻，这是一点希望。你得知道往哪里看。
