The climate crisis means “we’re going to have to change everything – the way we live, the way we produce, the way we trade,” France’s veteran(资深的，经验丰富的) radical-left firebrand(煽动者，激进分子), Jean-Luc Mélenchon, told the summer congress(大会，代表大会) of his France Insoumise party last weekend.
气候危机意味着“我们将不得不改变一切——我们的生活方式、生产方式、贸易方式”，法国资深激进左翼斗士让-吕克·梅朗雄上周末在其“不屈法国”党夏季大会上如此表示。
The term “climate change”, said Mélenchon – the most likely rival to Marine Le Pen in next year’s presidential run-off, according to one poll this week – may sound “almost reassuring”, but its actual impact will feel like “landing on another planet whenever we leave home”.(梅朗雄说，“气候变化”一词听起来令人安心，但实际影响如同每次出门都像降落在另一个星球。)
梅朗雄表示，“气候变化”一词听起来可能“几乎令人安心”，但其实际影响将如同“每次出门都像降落在另一个星球”。据本周一项民调，梅朗雄是明年总统决选中玛丽娜·勒庞最可能的对手。
The speech is notable(显著的，值得注意的) because despite the four heatwaves that have scorched(烤焦，灼烧) Europe this summer, shattering temperature records, fanning unprecedented fires and causing thousands of excess deaths(超额死亡), few politicians want to talk about climate action.
这篇演讲之所以引人注目，是因为尽管今年夏天四波热浪炙烤欧洲，打破气温纪录、引发前所未有的火灾并导致数千人超额死亡，却很少有政治家愿意谈论气候行动。
