Citizens are alarmed by the climate crisis1, but most believe they are already doing more to preserve the planet than anyone else, including their government, and few are willing to make significant lifestyle changes, an international survey has found.

　　一項(xiàng)跨國調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，民眾對氣候危機(jī)感到擔(dān)憂，但是多數(shù)人認(rèn)為他們?yōu)楸Ｗo(hù)地球所做的貢獻(xiàn)已經(jīng)比包括本國政府在內(nèi)的其他人都要多，而且愿意為了環(huán)保在生活方式上做出重大改變的人也寥寥無幾。

　　The survey found that 62% of people surveyed saw the climate crisis as the main environmental challenge the world was now facing, ahead of air pollution (39%), the impact of waste (38%) and new diseases (36%).

　　調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，62%的受訪者認(rèn)為氣候危機(jī)是當(dāng)前世界面臨的主要環(huán)境挑戰(zhàn)，緊隨其后的是空氣污染(39%)、廢物污染(38%)和新型疾病(36%)。

　　But when asked to rate their individual action against others' such as governments, business and the media, people generally saw themselves as much more committed to the environment than others in their local community, or any institution.

　　但是當(dāng)被要求對比其他人(包括政府、企業(yè)和媒體)來評價(jià)自己的個(gè)人行為時(shí)，人們通常認(rèn)為自己對環(huán)境的貢獻(xiàn)比本地社區(qū)其他人或機(jī)構(gòu)都大得多。

　　About 36% rated themselves “highly committed” to preserving the planet, while only 21% felt the same was true of the media and 19% of local government. A mere2 18% felt their local community was equally committed, with national governments (17%) and big corporations (13%) seen as even less engaged.

　　約36%的受訪者自稱對保護(hù)地球“做出很大努力”，而認(rèn)為媒體和本地政府做到這一點(diǎn)的人分別只有21%和19%。僅18%的受訪者認(rèn)為本地社區(qū)也在同樣努力地保護(hù)地球，國家政府和大公司得到的評價(jià)更低，分別只有17%和13%的人認(rèn)為這兩者在努力保護(hù)地球。

　　Respondents were also lukewarm about doing more themselves, citing3 a wide range of reasons. Most (76%) of those surveyed said they would accept stricter environmental rules and regulations, but almost half (46%) felt that there was no real need for them to change their personal habits.

　　受訪者對于為環(huán)保付出更多個(gè)人努力也不太熱心，并援引了各種理由。大多數(shù)(76%)受訪者表示他們可以接受更嚴(yán)格的環(huán)保規(guī)定和條例，但是近半數(shù)(46%)受訪者覺得無需改變自己的個(gè)人習(xí)慣。

　　Only 51% said they would definitely take individual climate action, with 14% saying they would definitely not and 35% torn. People in Poland and Singapore (56%) were the most willing to act, and in Germany (44%) and the Netherlands (37%) the least.

　　只有51%的受訪者表示自己肯定會(huì)采取行動(dòng)應(yīng)對氣候問題，14%的人表示肯定不會(huì)，還有35%的人搖擺不定。波蘭和新加坡的受訪者采取氣候行動(dòng)的意愿最強(qiáng)，比例達(dá)到56%，德國和荷蘭受訪者的意愿是最低的，分別只有44%和37%。

　　The most common reasons given for not being willing to do more for the planet were “I feel proud of what I am currently4 doing” (74%), “There isn't agreement among experts on the best solutions” (72%), and “I need more resources and equipment from public authorities” (69%).

　　不愿意為保護(hù)地球做更多努力的最常見原因包括“我對自己現(xiàn)在的所作所為感到自豪”(74%)、“專家們對于最 佳解決方案沒有達(dá)成統(tǒng)一意見”(72%)，以及“我需要公共部門提供更多資源和設(shè)備”(69%)。

　　Other reasons for not wanting to do more included “I can't afford to make those efforts” (60%), “I lack information and guidance on what to do” (55%), “I don't think individual efforts can really have an impact” (39%), “I believe environmental threats are overestimated” (35%) and “I don't have the headspace to think about it” (33%).

　　其他原因還有“我的經(jīng)濟(jì)能力不允許”(60%)、“我缺乏與行動(dòng)相關(guān)的信息和指導(dǎo)意見”(55%)、“我認(rèn)為個(gè)人努力不會(huì)產(chǎn)生實(shí)質(zhì)影響”(39%)、“我認(rèn)為環(huán)境威脅被高估了”(35%)和“我沒有多余的腦力來考慮這事兒”(33%)。
