柳文扬--闪光的生命

你知道小海龟吗？
它们一出壳就会往大海里爬。

我是说，生命短暂。

这一生，我没有时间选择，只来得及做一件事。是我最想做、最重要的一件，就是──爱你。

A.C.Clark 90大寿三大愿望

"As I complete 90 orbits, I have no regrets and no more personal
ambitions. But if I may be allowed just three wishes, they would be
these.

Firstly, I would like to see some evidence of
extra-terrestrial life. I have always believed that we are not alone in
the universe. But we are still waiting for ETs to call us - or give us
some kind of a sign. We have no way of guessing when this might happen
- I hope sooner rather than later!

Secondly, I would like to see us kick our current
addiction to oil, and adopt clean energy sources. For over a decade,
I've been monitoring various new energy experiments, but they have yet
to produce commercial scale results. Climate change has now added a new
sense of urgency. Our civilisation depends on energy, but we can't
allow oil and coal to slowly bake our planet...

The third wish is one closer to home. I've been living
in Sri Lanka for 50 years - and half that time, I've been a sad witness
to the bitter conflict that divides my adopted country. I dearly wish
to see lasting peace established in Sri Lanka as soon as possible. But
I'm aware that peace cannot just be wished -- it requires a great deal
of hard work, courage and persistence."

　　“要是我可以有三个生日愿望，我将希望看到地球外生物的证据。我一直认为我们不是宇宙里的唯一生物，但我们依然等着外星人联系我们，或者向我们展示一些迹象。第二个愿望是我想看到人类摆脱对石油的依赖，使用清洁能源。气候变化现在已为人类增添了一些新问题。我们不能允许煤和石油慢慢烘烤我们的星球。”

　　他把第三个愿望献给了斯里兰卡。克拉克过去在这个国家生活了50年，写过许多小说，由于在科学、技术和对国家上做出的突出贡献，2005年荣获这个印度洋岛国的最高公民荣誉。他表示：“我在斯里兰卡住了50年，其中有一半时间目睹了分裂这个国家的激烈冲突，我深切希望我这个国家有朝一日拥有和平。”
