（笑声） 但是结果证明原来是我的员工的极度烦躁 因为尼尔利亚有一家通讯社已经把我的演讲写成一个故事

48.But I wanted to elaborate on a couple of these.
但我想先说明下这些东西。
49.First of all, this is where we’re projected to go with the U.S. contribution to global warming, under business as usual. Efficiency in end-use electricity and end-use of all energy
首先，这是我们估计到的关于美国对全球温室效应的贡献， 在普通情况下对于电力和能源的最终使用的效率
50.is the low-hanging fruit. Efficiency and conservation: it’s not a cost, it’s a profit. The sign is wrong.
就像踮脚就能够着的果实，非常低的。 效率和对自然环境的保护： 不是成本，而是利润。 信号是错误的。

汽车和火车–我在上次幻灯片的时候谈到过， 但是我希望你们能够先思考一下。
54.It’s an easy, visible target of concern, and it should be, but there is more global warming pollution that comes from buildings than from cars and trucks.
这应该是我们所忧虑的目标里比较容易和显而易见的一个了， 但是相对于汽车和货车，对于全球温室效应的污染则更多 来自于建筑物。
55.Cars and trucks are very significant, and we have the lowest standards in the world, and so we should address that. But it’s part of the puzzle.
汽车和货车是非常明显的，因为我们的标准是全世界最低的。 这样的话我们应该解决这个问题，但是这又是个伤脑筋的难题。
56.Other transportation efficiency is as important as cars and trucks!
其他交通工具的效率当然也应和汽车货车一样！
57.Renewables at the current levels of technological efficiency can make this much difference, and with what Vinod, and John Doerr, and others,
可再生能源目前水平的技术效率 可以大大的改变现状， 而且还有维诺德和约翰·多尔等等
58.many of you here — a lot of people directly involved in this — this wedge is going to grow much more rapidly than the current projection shows it.
你们中的许多人直接参与其中 –这个楔形的成长要比我们目前所预计的要迅速的多。
59.Carbon capture and sequestration — that’s what CCS stands for — is likely to become the killer app that will enable us to continue to use fossil fuels in a way that is safe.
碳捕捉及封存技术–就是CCS代表的意思 –很有可能变成杀手级的应用 它将使我们能够继续安全的使用矿物燃料。

65.Figure out some of the other options that are much better. It’s important.
想出一些其他更好的替代方案，这是非常重要的。
66.Be a green consumer. You have choices with everything you buy, between things that have a harsh effect or a much less harsh effect on the global climate crisis.
成为一个环保消费者，对于你买的所有东西都要选择， 比较哪个产品对于全球气候危机的影响大 还是小
67.Consider this. Make a decision to live a carbon-neutral life.
考虑这点，下决心去拥有一个碳中性的生活。
68.Those of you who are good at branding, I’d love to get your advice and help on how to say this in a way that connects with the most people.
对于你们中那些熟悉品牌运作的人， 我希望可以从你们那里得到建议和帮助 关于如何让人知道这是关乎大多数人的利益。

这比你想象的要容易些，真的。
70.A lot of us in here have made that decision and it is really pretty easy.
你们中的许多人已经做出了合适的决定，这真的是相当容易。
71.reduce your carbon dioxide emissions with the full range of choices that you make, and then purchase or acquire offsets for the remainder that you have not
在做各种选择前尽量选那些可以减少二氧化碳排放量的， 而且还要对那些没做到的决定作出合适的补偿
72.completely reduced. And what it means is elaborated at climatecrisis.net.
具体什么意思可以看 climatecrisis.net 网站上的说明。
73.There is a carbon calculator. Participant Productions convened, with my active involvement, the leading software writers in the world

等五月份电影出来的时候,这个版本也会升级到2.0. 更新中包括能够购买碳排放抵消的功能
77.Next, consider making your business carbon neutral. Again, some of us have done that, and it’s not as hard as you think. Integrate climate solutions into all of your innovations,
接下来，关于如何使你的商业碳中和化，当然，我们中的许多人已经做到了。 其实这不是你想的那么难，只要把气候危机解决方案融入到所有的革新当中。
78.whether you are from the technology, or entertainment, or design and architecture community.
不管你是处于科技领域或娱乐事业， 或设计行业和社区建筑。
79.Invest sustainably. Majora mentioned this.

89.and — it’s not just the slides, it’s what they mean. And it’s how they link together.

90.And so I’m going to be conducting a course this summer for a group of people that are nominated by different folks to come and then give it,
这样的话我就会在今年夏天带一个课程 给那帮获得提名的人们上一课。
91.en masse, in communities all across the country, and we’re going to update the slideshow for all of them every single week to keep it right on the cutting edge.
全体的，在全国各地的社区， 每个星期我们也会为他们更新这些幻灯片 来保证资料都处在最前沿。
