ROOTS & SHOOTS
Most people suffer from① what is known as “Just-me-ism”.What is that?Well,say you leave the tap running② while you brush your teeth,leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can’t be bothered to③ pick it up④.You know that all those things are wrong,but so what?“What difference can it possibly make?”you say to yourself⑤.“There are millions of people in the world and I’m just me.How can it matter⑥ if I leave one little tap running,one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road?And anyway,no one will know.”Of course,it wouldn’t matter if there were just a few people in the world.[1] But just⑦ think of all the millions of people saying to themselves:“It doesn’t matter.It’s just me.And,anyway,no one knows.”Millions of gallons⑧ of water would be wasted;millions of lights would be left on;millions of pieces of litter would be dropped.[2] And all of this would be very harmful.

[5]动词不定式短语to live in作后置定语,修饰a better place。
Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile,when you make a dog wag㉑ its tail,and when you water a thirsty plant?[6] One cheered-up person,one happy dog, one flowering plant㉒,and you.That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about [7]:the value and importance of each individual—human,animal or plant.Dr.Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that:“Every individual matters.Every individual has a role to play.Every individual makes a difference.”You get to choose:Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people,animals and the environment?Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted㉓ in everyone’s heart?Do you want to be a part of a community for a shared future㉔?You cannot be absent㉕.

根与芽
很多人都有所谓的“就我一个”的问题。那是什么意思呢?比方说你刷牙的时候让水哗哗地流,外出的时候不关灯,或者掉了一块垃圾却懒得捡起来。你知道那些都是不对的,但那又怎么样?“会有什么关系呢?”你对自己说,“世界上有数百万人,我不过是我自己。如果我让一个小小的水龙头一直流水,让一盏小小的灯开着或将一小块垃圾丢在路上,这有什么要紧呢?而且不管怎样,没人会知道。”当然,如果世界上只有几个人,那就无所谓了。
学生用书第59页
但试想要是数百万人都对自己说:“没关系。只有我一个。而且,不管怎样,没人会知道。”数百万加仑的水将会被浪费,数百万盏灯将会开着,数百万块垃圾将会被丢掉。而这些都是非常有害的。
为了激励年轻人行动起来保护环境、动物和社区,“根与芽”诞生了。这个组织于20世纪90年代初由世界上最著名的野生黑猩猩专家珍·古道尔博士建立。除了自己的科研,她还全身心地投入环保事业。“根与芽”的目的是教育年轻人,从学龄前儿童到大学生,使他们能够为创造一个安全的未来而贡献力量并与大自然和平共处。
这个组织取名“根与芽”,因为根部在地下缓慢延伸以形成坚实的基础,而芽看起来弱小,却可以冲破砖墙以接触到阳光。根和芽就是你、你的朋友和世界各地的年轻人。成千上万的根和芽能够解决问题、改变世界,使其更加宜居。
当你使一个悲伤的人微笑,让一条狗摇尾巴,给一株干渴的植物浇水时,你觉得自己让世界变得更美好了吗?一个振作起来的人、一条快乐的狗、一株开花的植物和你。这就是“根与芽”的全部意义:重视每个个体的价值和重要性,不管是人、动物还是植物。珍·古道尔博士认为,最重要的是:“每个个体都很重要。每个个体都有自己的角色。每个个体都能有所作为。”你可以选择:你想通过自己的生活,为了人类、动物和环境而让世界变得更美好吗?你想让“根与芽”植根于每个人的心中吗?你想成为命运共同体的一员吗?你不能缺席。
正是通过这种令人激动的方式共同行动起来,我们可以让成百上千、甚至千百万人参与其中,这将改变世界。
——珍·古道尔
