'The Problem Is Systemic': Over 200 Artists and Scientists Dare World to Envision a Different Post-Covid Future
“问题是系统性的”:200多名艺术家和科学家激励全世界憧憬一个不同的疫后未来
"Adjustments are not enough."
“调整是不够的。”

Over 200 artists and scientists issued a demand to world leaders that the planet's leaders not attempt to "go back to normal" after the coronavirus pandemic passes, calling for substantive and swift action to address the climate crisis, consumerism, and economic inequality in the wake of the crisis.
两百多名艺术家和科学家向全世界领导人发出了一封要求信,强烈呼吁地球的领导人们在新型冠状病毒大流行过后不要着急“恢复常态”(go back to normal),而是应该在本次危机之后迅速采取重大行动,积极应对气候危机(climate crisis)、消费主义(consumerism)和经济不平等(economic inequality)现象。
"Adjustments are not enough," the group says in a letter published Wednesday in France's Le Monde newspaper. "The problem is systemic."
“(小打小闹的)调整是不够的,”这些艺术家和科学家于周三在法国《世界报》(Le Monde)上发表的一封信中共同表示。“(因为)问题是系统性的(影响到各方面)。”
The letter, written by actress Juliette Binoche and astrophysicist Aurélien Barrau, calls for a "radical transformation" in how the world works and to address the oncoming climate crisis with the urgency it deserves. The letter was signed by artists and activists like Javier Bardem, Naomi Klein, Vandana Shiva, Barbra Streisand, Joaquin Phoenix, and Sting as well as scientists and economists like Carlo Rovelli, Muhammad Yunus, and Xuan Thuan Trinh.
这封信由(法国著名)女演员朱丽叶·比诺什(Juliette Binoche)和天体物理学家奥雷里安·巴罗(Aurélien Barrau)共同撰写,强烈呼吁所有人类“彻底改革”整个世界的运作方式,并以应有的紧迫性积极应对步步逼近的气候危机。该信件的众多签名者包括艺术家和活动家哈维尔·巴登(Javier Bardem)、娜奥米·克莱恩(Naomi Klein)、范达娜·席瓦(Vandana Shiva)、芭芭拉·史翠珊(Barbra Streisand)、杰昆·菲尼克斯(Joaquin Phoenix)、斯汀(Sting)等人以及科学家和经济学家卡洛·罗韦利(Carlo Rovelli)、穆罕默德·尤努斯(Muhammad Yunus)、郑春顺(Trinh Xuan Thuan)等人。
As the letter explains:
该信解释道:
The ongoing ecological catastrophe is a meta-crisis: the massive extinction of life on Earth is no longer in doubt, and all indicators point to a direct existential threat. Unlike a pandemic, however severe, a global ecological collapse will have immeasurable consequences.
持续发展的生态浩劫(ecological catastrophe)是超级危机(meta-crisis):地球上的生物大灭绝已不容置疑,种种迹象都表明人类也面临着直接的生存威胁。某种大流行病(pandemic)无论多么严重,都比不上全球生态崩溃(global ecological collapse)会带来的不可估量的后果。
"Pollution, climate change, and the destruction of our remaining natural zones has brought the world to a breaking point," says the letter.
该信宣称:“污染、气候变化和剩余自然区的破坏已经把世界逼到了崩溃的边缘。”

Please, let’s not go back to normal
请让我们拒绝恢复常态
The Covid-19 pandemic is a tragedy. This crisis is, however, inviting us to examine what is essential. And what we see is simple: “adjustments” are not enough. The problem is systemic.
COVID-19(2019冠状病毒病)大流行是一场悲剧。然而,这次危机也促使我们审视什么是至关重要的。我们的看法很简单:(小打小闹的)“调整”是不够的。(因为)问题是系统性的(影响到各方面)。
The ongoing ecological catastrophe is a meta-crisis: the massive extinction of life on Earth is no longer in doubt, and all indicators point to a direct existential threat. Unlike a pandemic, however severe, a global ecological collapse will have immeasurable consequences.
持续发展的生态浩劫(ecological catastrophe)是超级危机(meta-crisis):地球上的生物大灭绝已不容置疑,种种迹象都表明人类也面临着直接的生存威胁。某种大流行病(pandemic)无论多么严重,都比不上全球生态崩溃(global ecological collapse)会带来的不可估量的后果。
We therefore solemnly call upon leaders—and all of us as citizens—to leave behind the unsustainable logic that still prevails and to undertake a profound overhaul of our goals, values, and economies.
故此,我们郑重呼吁各位领导人──以及我们所有公民──摒弃仍旧盛行的不可持续逻辑(观念),全面彻底革新我们的目标、价值观和经济体制。
The pursuit of consumerism and an obsession with productivity have led us to deny the value of life itself: that of plants, that of animals, and that of a great number of human beings. Pollution, climate change, and the destruction of our remaining natural zones has brought the world to a breaking point.
对消费主义(consumerism)的追求以及对生产力(productivity)的痴迷,让我们否定了生命本身的价值:植物的、动物的乃至许许多多人的生命价值。污染、气候变化和剩余自然区的破坏已经把世界逼到了崩溃的边缘。
For these reasons, along with the urgency of renewing with a politics of social equity, we believe it is unthinkable to “go back to normal”.
鉴于以上的理由以及迫切需要采用社会公平(social equity)的政治制度实行革新,我们认为“恢复常态”(go back to normal)是不可理喻的。
The radical transformation we need—at all levels—demands boldness and courage. It will not take place without a massive and determined commitment. We must act now. It is as much a matter of survival as of dignity and coherence.
为了在各个层级实现我们所需的彻底改革(radical transformation),胆量和勇气是必不可少的。如果没有做出坚定的重大承诺,彻底改革就会沦为空谈。我们必须立即行动起来。这(彻底改革)既涉及(人类)生存,亦事关尊严和协同(coherence)。
