A group of more than 100 international celebrities, athletes, activists, politicians, and business leaders have signed an open letter urging everyone to go vegan in January and beyond. Published by global campaign Veganuary, the letter includes signatories such as actors Edie Falco, Alan Cumming, and Evanna Lynch; comedians Ricky Gervais, Tig Notaro, and John Bishop; athletes Dotsie Bausch (Olympic cyclist), Patrik Baboumian (strongman), and Kuntal Joisher (mountaineer); environmental activists and organizations Jane Goodall, Chris Packham, Greenpeace UK, and Friends of the Earth; musicians Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, and Bryan Adams; and many others.

一百多位国际名人明星、运动员、活动家、政治家和企业领导人签署了一封公开信，敦促所有人从一月份开始成为纯素食者。该公开信由全球纯素运动组织“纯素一月”（Veganuary）发表（在网上），其中的签署人包括著名演员：埃迪·法可（Edie Falco）、艾伦·卡明（Alan Cumming）、伊文娜·林奇（Evanna Lynch）；喜剧明星：瑞奇·热维斯（Ricky Gervais）、蒂戈·诺塔罗（Tig Notaro）、约翰·毕晓普（John Bishop）；优秀运动员：多西·鲍什（Dotsie Bausch）（奥运会自行车赛手）、派崔克·巴布米安（Patrik Baboumian）（大力士）、昆塔尔·乔舍（Kuntal Joisher）（登山家）；环保活动家和组织：珍·古道尔（Jane Goodall）、克里斯·帕克汉姆（Chris Packham）、英国绿色和平组织（Greenpeace UK）、地球之友（Friends of the Earth）；音乐家：保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）、克里希·海德（Chrissie Hynde）、布莱恩·亚当斯（Bryan Adams）；等等。

“Trashing the planet does none of us any good, as the coronavirus pandemic shows all too clearly,” Packham, letter signatory and Veganuary Ambassador, said. “But we can emerge from this stronger and wiser, with a renewed commitment to protecting the environment, its inhabitants and our own futures. Being vegan is a great way to support the natural world and to live sustainably.”

“糟蹋地球对我们谁都没有任何好处，新型冠状病毒大流行非常清楚地说明了这一点，”作为公开信签署人之一的纯素一月宣传大使（Veganuary Ambassador）帕克汉姆说道。“但是我们可以设法走出当前困境，并且变得更加强大和明智；我们要做的就是重新下定决心，努力保护环境及其所有居住者，同时呵护我们自己的未来。为了维护自然界和长久安居乐业，成为纯素食者（vegan）是一个很好的办法。”

Open letter

公开信

The letter outlines the environmental damage caused by animal agriculture and points to the animal origins of diseases such as H1N1 (swine flu) and H5N1 (avian flu) and warns that the next pandemic could originate from factory farms. “2020 has been an unforgettable year, with our attention divided between fears over coronavirus and anxiety over climate change. What has become increasingly obvious is that these two threats have something in common; both are heavily linked to our consumption of animal products,” the letter states. “Catastrophic climate breakdown and global pandemics could not be more serious, but they are not inevitable. If we act now, the future can be better. So, let’s go into 2021 with positivity and a determination to do all we can to protect our planet, its wild spaces and the health and wellbeing of all its inhabitants. To do that, we must change our diets.”

那封公开信概述了动物农业（animal agriculture）对环境造成的破坏，指出了一些动物来源的疾病，如H1N1（猪流感）和H5N1（禽流感），并且警告称下一场大流行病可能来自工厂化农场（factory farms）。“2020年注定使人难以忘怀。一方面，冠状病毒让我们恐惧不安，另一方面，气候变化更是令我们忧心忡忡。越来越明显突出的事实是，这两大威胁具有共同之处：两者都跟人类消费动物制品有着密切关系，”公开信宣称。“灾难性气候崩溃和全球大流行病的后果极其严重，但它们并非是不可避免的。如果我们现在就采取行动，未来可以变得更美好。所以，让我们以积极的心态走进2021年，并决心竭尽所能保护我们的地球、野生空间以及所有地球居住者的健康和幸福。为此，我们必须改变个人的饮食方式。”

Founded in 2014, Veganuary is on track to meet its goal of 500,000 participants in 2021 with 250,000 people already signed up to go vegan for the month of January.

（每年都举行的）纯素一月活动创立于2014年，2021年活动参加人数有望达到预定的50万人目标；现在已经有25万人报名参加本届活动，要在一月份成为（健康、环保、慈悲的）纯素食者。
