在其发表于2020年的文章《另一个寂静的春天》中,唐纳德· 沃斯特写道:
“在这个春天,某种怪诞的宁静笼罩着全世界的城镇,各国政府要求其公民宅在家中,避免不必要的旅行,远离大型聚会。比之平日,城市街道、乡村高速、锃亮的机场、新一代高铁显得空空荡荡,因为它们正是新型冠状病毒(COVID-19或称SARS-Cov2)从一个大洲向另一个大洲,从一个受害人向另一个受害人传播的可怖通道。”
In his essay “Another Silent Spring” published in
2020, Donald Worster wrote: “This springtime an eerie silence has fallen over
the world’s cities and towns, as governments order their citizens to stay home,
avoid unnecessary travel, and keep away from large-group gatherings. Urban
streets, rural highways, brand-new airports, and the new generation of bullet
trains are all emptier than before, for they are the dreaded paths that the
corona virus (Covid-19 or SARS-Cov2) takes to spread from continent to
continent and reach its next victims.
“当人们开始恐慌,呐喊复仇时,噪音不绝于耳。我们处于战斗的情绪,而自然再次成为这场战斗的对象。非人类世界遭受责难,不仅因为眼下的这一波疫情,也因为在贸易、生产、交通、工作、货币、股价、教育、移民、医院,以及气候与生物多样性的会议中发生的激变。最终,当第一波恐慌开始消退,我们或可开始思考这场大疫因何发生。”
“There is no shortage of noise when humans begin to
panic and shout for revenge. We are in a fighting mood, and the fight once more
is against nature. The non-human world is being blamed not only for the current
wave of sickness but also for upheaval in trade, manufacturing, transportation,
jobs, currencies, stock prices, education, climate and biodiversity
conferences, immigration, and hospitals. Eventually, after the first waves of
panic begin to subside, we may be ready to think about why this epidemic has
occurred.”
2021年的春天在世界的很多角落依然寂静,然而,历史学者已经可以开始反思这场寂静以及导致如此寂静的深层历史根源。因此,我们邀请八位来自世界不同地方的著名学者讲述他们关于这些问题的研究,分享他们在新冠时代对环境与健康的思考,藉以鼓励更多的人在寂静被打破之际,参与到对“另一个寂静的春天”的理性思考当中。
This spring 2021 is a good time for historians to
reflect on this silence and on the deep historical roots leading up to it.
Therefore, we are inviting eight leading scholars from different parts of the
world to present their research on the subject, to share their thoughts about
health and environment in the era of COVID-19, and to encourage more people to
add their rational thinking when the silence is broken.
讲座将在腾讯会议线上举行,向全世界对此议题感兴趣者开放。具体参会方式与时间请见每场讲座信息。敬请关注!
