The word ?mother? holds great power.It evokes memories of the women who gave us life, nurtured us as infants and helped mould us into who we are today.The Earth is the ultimate mother – an astounding planet that has, since time immemorial, supported life in myriad forms.As humans, we outgrow the need for constant maternal care.But we can never outgrow our reliance on Mother Earth.As long as we live, we need air, water, fertile soil and the countless other gifts this planet bestows.“母親”一詞蘊(yùn)含著巨大的力量。它使我們聯(lián)想到婦女，她們賦予我們生命，把我們從嬰兒養(yǎng)育成人，并幫助塑造我們的人格。地球是終極的母親，這個(gè)神奇的星球自遠(yuǎn)古以來(lái)就一直承載著萬(wàn)物。生而為人，我們長(zhǎng)大以后就不再需要母親的持續(xù)呵護(hù)，卻永遠(yuǎn)不能擺脫對(duì)地球母親的依賴。只要活著，我們就需要空氣、水、肥沃的土壤以及這個(gè)星球賜予我們的萬(wàn)物。

This dependence makes it all the more astonishing that we have allowed rapid and often unwise human development to disrupt so many of the delicate systems that have functioned harmoniously for millennia.We are increasingly aware of the damage our species has wrought – the pollution, the dwindling resources, the species of flora and fauna forever gone, the rush towards tipping points that may alter the way our planet functions.Even with this knowledge, we have yet to change our ways.我們?nèi)绱艘蕾嚕瑓s又允許開(kāi)展快速、并且經(jīng)常不明智的人類開(kāi)發(fā)活動(dòng)，破壞這么多已經(jīng)和諧運(yùn)行了幾千年的微妙系統(tǒng)，豈不更加令人吃驚？我們?nèi)找嬉庾R(shí)到我們這個(gè)物種已經(jīng)造成的損害：污染、資源日益減少、永遠(yuǎn)消失的動(dòng)植物物種，并且我們正在急速走向可能會(huì)改變我們這個(gè)星球運(yùn)行方式的臨界點(diǎn)。我們即便已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)，卻還沒(méi)有改變我們的行為方式。

But we can change, and 2015 brings a critical opportunity to do just that.This year, the world aims to finalize the post-2015 sustainable development agenda and reach a new and meaningful universal climate change agreement.These processes have the potential to redefine our future for the better, by eradicating extreme poverty in all its forms and resetting our relationship with this planet and every living being it sustains.但我們是可以改變的，2015年就是實(shí)現(xiàn)改變的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵機(jī)會(huì)。今年，全世界的目標(biāo)是最后敲定2015年后可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程，并達(dá)成一個(gè)新的、有意義的普遍性氣候變化協(xié)議。這些進(jìn)程有可能通過(guò)消除各種形式的極端貧困，調(diào)整我們與這個(gè)星球及其維系的每一個(gè)生命的關(guān)系，從而重塑我們的未來(lái)，使之向更好的方向發(fā)展。But the big decisions that lie ahead are not just for world leaders and policy-makers.Today, on Mother Earth Day, I ask each one of us to be mindful of the impacts our choices have on this planet, and what those impacts will mean for future generations.Not everyone is able to make sustainable choices, but for those who can, simple decisions such as switching to energy-efficient lighting or buying only what you will consume – when accumulated across billions of people – can transform our world.The power to change begins with you.但擺在面前的重大決定不僅要由世界各國(guó)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和決策者做出。在今天的地球母親日上，我要求我們每一個(gè)人都要注意到我們的選擇對(duì)這個(gè)星球的影響，以及這些影響對(duì)子孫后代將意味著什么。不是每個(gè)人都能夠做出可持續(xù)的選擇，但對(duì)于那些能夠做出這類選擇的人而言，可以做出采用節(jié)能照明以及用多少就買多少等簡(jiǎn)單決定，數(shù)十億人做出的這類決定累積起來(lái)，就足以改變我們的世界。改變產(chǎn)生的力量從你我開(kāi)始。

As a global community, we have the opportunity to make 2015 a turning point in human history.This can be the year our children and grandchildren will remember as when we chose to build a sustainable and resilient future – both for Mother Earth and all those that development has until now left behind.Let us seize this historic opportunity together.我們作為一個(gè)全球社會(huì)，有機(jī)會(huì)讓2015年成為人類歷史的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。我們要讓子孫后代記住今年，因?yàn)槲覀冊(cè)诮衲赀x擇建設(shè)一個(gè)可持續(xù)、有復(fù)原力的未來(lái)，既要有利于地球母親，也要有利于所有那些迄今為止在發(fā)展大潮中被拉下的人。讓我們共同抓住這一歷史機(jī)遇。

UN Secretary-General’s Message on International Widows’ Day June, 2011

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)潘基文國(guó)際寡婦日致辭

2011年6月23日

2011年6月23日是國(guó)際寡婦日，今年是第一次開(kāi)展國(guó)際寡婦日活動(dòng)，聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)潘基文發(fā)表2011年國(guó)際寡婦日致辭．

This first International Widows’ Day is an occasion to call attention to the many “firsts” that women must face when their husbands die.In addition to coping with grief, they may find themselves for the first time since marriage without any social safety net.Far too often, widows lack access to inheritance, land tenure, employment and even the means to survive.今年是第一次開(kāi)展國(guó)際寡婦日活動(dòng)，在這個(gè)日子里，我們呼吁人們關(guān)注婦女在丈夫死亡后必須“第一次”面對(duì)的許多問(wèn)題。婦女不僅陷入悲痛，而且還可能在結(jié)婚后第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)她們沒(méi)有任何社會(huì)安全網(wǎng)。寡婦往往不能繼承財(cái)產(chǎn)，沒(méi)有土地保有權(quán)，不能就業(yè)，甚至沒(méi)有生存的手段。

In places where a widow’s status is linked to her husband, she may find herself suddenly shunned and isolated.Marriage – whether she desires it or not – may be the only way for a widow to regain her footing in society.在寡婦的地位與丈夫緊密相聯(lián)的地方，寡婦可能發(fā)現(xiàn)人們突然躲避她，她陷入孤立無(wú)援的境地。無(wú)論寡婦是否愿意，結(jié)婚可能是她在社會(huì)重新立腳的唯一途徑。

Of the approximately 245 million widows in our world, more than 115 live in extreme poverty.In countries embroiled in conflicts, women are often widowed young and must bear the heavy burden of caring for their children amid fighting and displacement with no help or support.全世界約有2.45億寡婦，其中超過(guò)1.15億人生活極端貧困。在沖突不斷的國(guó)家，婦女往往年輕就守寡，不得不在戰(zhàn)火中和顛沛流離的生活中肩負(fù)起照顧子女的重?fù)?dān)，她們得不到任何幫助或支持。

Some of these widows are teenagers – or even younger.The death of their husbands can leave a terrible legacy these widows must endure throughout their remaining years.一些寡婦仍然是少女，有的甚至更年輕。丈夫死亡后，給寡婦們留下的可能是終身噩夢(mèng)。

All widows should be protected by the rights enshrined in the Convention on theElimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and other international human rights treaties.《消除對(duì)婦女一切形式歧視公約》和其他國(guó)際人權(quán)條約莊嚴(yán)載有各項(xiàng)權(quán)利，應(yīng)可保護(hù)所有寡婦。

But in reality, interpretations of customary codes, as well as traditional mourning and burial rites, often deny widows virtually all of their universally recognized rights.但在現(xiàn)實(shí)中，對(duì)習(xí)慣法規(guī)的各種解讀以及傳統(tǒng)的喪葬禮儀往往剝奪了寡婦幾乎所有的普遍公認(rèn)權(quán)利。

Despite the many difficulties widows face, many make valuable contributions to their countries and communities.Some take on leadership roles at the highest levels.Others work in their families, taking in orphans, serving as caregivers and reaching across lines of conflict to mend tears in the social fabric.雖然寡婦面臨許多困難，但許多人依然對(duì)國(guó)家和社區(qū)作出了寶貴貢獻(xiàn)。一些人在最高級(jí)別發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用。其他人則在家里工作，收養(yǎng)孤兒，照顧他人，跨越?jīng)_突線，修補(bǔ)社會(huì)組織出現(xiàn)的裂痕。

We must recognize the important contribution of widows, and we must ensure that they enjoy the rights and social protections they deserve.我們必須承認(rèn)寡婦的重要貢獻(xiàn)，我們必須確保她們享有她們應(yīng)得的權(quán)利和社會(huì)保障。

Death is inevitable, but we can reduce the suffering that widows endure by raising their status and helping them in their hour of need.This will contribute to promoting the full and equal participation of all women in society.And that will bring us closer to ending poverty and promoting peace around the world.死亡是不可避免的，但我們可以提高寡婦的地位，在她們最需要幫助的時(shí)刻幫助她們，減輕她們的痛苦。這將有助于促進(jìn)所有婦女充分和平等地參與社會(huì)。而這又將使我們進(jìn)一步接近消除貧窮和促進(jìn)世界和平的目標(biāo)。

2011年8月12日

“Change Our World” is more than the theme of this year’s International Youth Day;it is an injunction that

should inspire young people at all times.“改變世界”不只是今年國(guó)際青年日的主題，而且是一條激勵(lì)各個(gè)時(shí)代青年人的訓(xùn)喻。

Far too many of the world’s more than one billion young people lack the education, freedom and

opportunities they deserve.Yet despite these constraints – and in some cases because of them – young people are mobilizing in growing numbers to build a better future.Over the past year, they have achieved stunning results,overturning dictatorships and sending waves of hope across regions and around the world.在全世界10億多青年中，太多的人得不到他們應(yīng)享的教育、自由和各種機(jī)會(huì)。然而，盡管存在這些限制，有些情況下正是因?yàn)檫@些限制，越來(lái)越多的青年為創(chuàng)造更美好的未來(lái)行動(dòng)起來(lái)。過(guò)去一年中，他們?nèi)?/p>

得了令人矚目的成果，推翻了獨(dú)裁統(tǒng)治，將希望傳播到各區(qū)域和世界各地。

Young people are gifted with open minds and a keen awareness of emerging trends, and are bringing their energy, ideas and courage to some of the most complex and important challenges facing the human family.They often understand better than older generations that we can transcend our religious and cultural differences in order to reach our shared goals.They are standing up for the rights of oppressed peoples, including those who suffer discrimination based on gender, race and sexual orientation.They are confronting sensitive issues in order to stop

the spread of HIV.And they are often the leading proponents of sustainability and green life-styles.青年天生思想開(kāi)放，可敏銳察覺(jué)新的趨勢(shì)，他們運(yùn)用自己的能量、想法和勇氣來(lái)解決人類大家庭面臨的一些最為復(fù)雜和重要的挑戰(zhàn)。他們往往比老一輩人更明白，為達(dá)成共同的目標(biāo)，我們可以超越宗教和文化的差異。他們挺身維護(hù)受壓迫人民的權(quán)利，包括那些因性別、種族和性取向而遭受歧視的人們的權(quán)利。為了遏制艾滋病毒的蔓延，他們勇敢面對(duì)敏感問(wèn)題。他們還常常帶頭提倡可持續(xù)性和綠色生活方式。The international community must continue to work together to expand the horizons of opportunity for these young women and men and answer their legitimate demands for dignity, development and decent work.Failing to invest in our youth is a false economy.Investments in young people will pay great dividends in a better future for

all.國(guó)際社會(huì)必須繼續(xù)共同努力，為這些青年男女?dāng)U展各種機(jī)會(huì)空間，回應(yīng)他們對(duì)尊嚴(yán)、發(fā)展和體面工作的合法需求。不對(duì)青年進(jìn)行投資，將是失敗的經(jīng)濟(jì)。而投資于青年將帶來(lái)豐厚回報(bào)，為所有人創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更

美好的未來(lái)。

This Day marks the end of the International Year of Youth, a milestone in global advocacy by and for the world’s young people.My hope is that this experience will now provide a foundation to go even further in harnessing the talents and energies of young people.To them I say: you have the opportunity to change our world.Seize it.在全世界青年參與為他們開(kāi)展的全球宣傳中，國(guó)際青年年是一個(gè)里程碑。今天是國(guó)際青年年結(jié)束的日子。我希望通過(guò)此次活動(dòng)，為進(jìn)一步利用青年人的才智和能量打下基礎(chǔ)。我要對(duì)青年人說(shuō)：你們有機(jī)會(huì)改

變世界，抓住機(jī)遇！

UN Secretary-General's Message on the International Day of Non-Violence New York, 2 October 2010

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)潘基文2010國(guó)際非暴力日致辭 2010年10月2日

The International Day of Non-Violence marks the birth date of one of the doctrine's leading voices, Mahatma Gandhi.“Non-violence”, Gandhi said, “is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.”

國(guó)際非暴力日正是堅(jiān)守此項(xiàng)信念的主要代言人之一圣雄甘地的誕辰日。甘地說(shuō)，“非暴力”“是人類最偉大的武器”。

We at the United Nations strive to harness the power of non-violence to overcome prejudice, end conflict, and cultivate mutual respect and understanding among peoples and countries.Indeed, the creed of non-violence echoes through the United Nations Charter: “To practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours”;“to ensure...that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest.”

我們立足聯(lián)合國(guó)，努力利用非暴力這一武器，克服偏見(jiàn)、結(jié)束沖突、增進(jìn)人與人、國(guó)與國(guó)之間的相互尊重和了解。非暴力信條通過(guò)《聯(lián)合國(guó)憲章》得到真實(shí)反映：“力行容恕，彼此以善鄰之道，和睦相處”；“確保??非為公共利益，不得使用武力”。

We work every day to bring these lofty principles to life.We do this by promoting human rights, seeking to resolve conflicts through peaceful means, campaigning to eliminate violence against women, working to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, and building bridges across cultures and countering hatred and extremism everywhere.我們每天都致力于將這些崇高原則落實(shí)在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中。我們?yōu)榇舜龠M(jìn)人權(quán)、尋求以和平手段解決沖突、發(fā)起消除對(duì)婦女的暴力行為的運(yùn)動(dòng)、努力實(shí)現(xiàn)千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)、建造跨越文化的橋梁，以及反對(duì)任何地方出現(xiàn)的仇恨和極端主義。

This work cannot be left to governments or international organizations alone.Peace may be achieved around the negotiating table, but it is sustained around community tables.Peace starts with people--it flows from the hearts of committed women and men.Communities, families, and individuals all have a critical role to play in defeating violence and creating a culture of peace.這項(xiàng)工作不能光靠政府和國(guó)際組織來(lái)承擔(dān)。和平或許可在談判桌上實(shí)現(xiàn)，但是，和平只有放到社區(qū)的桌面上才能夠維持。和平始于人們的心中，它發(fā)自致力于和平的男女的內(nèi)心。無(wú)論是社區(qū)、家庭還是個(gè)人，在戰(zhàn)勝暴力和創(chuàng)建和平文化方面都可扮演舉足輕重的角色。

On this International Day of Non-Violence, let us work together to use the great force of non-violence to build peaceful and just societies for ourselves and for our children.在今天紀(jì)念國(guó)際非暴力日時(shí)，讓我們共同努力，利用非暴力的偉大武器，為我們自己和我們的子孫建造和平與公正的社會(huì)。

聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)潘基文在地球日的致辭（雙語(yǔ)）

Secretary-General's Message on International Mother Earth Day

Each year, on Mother Earth Day, we reflect on our relationship with the planet that supports us.The air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil that grows our food are part of a delicate global ecosystem that is increasingly under pressure from human activities.From tropical deforestation to depleted ocean fisheries, from growing freshwater shortages to the rapid decline of biodiversity and increasingly polluted skies and seas in many parts of the world, we see the heavy hand of humankind.在這一年一度的地球母親日，我們對(duì)與地球的關(guān)系進(jìn)行反省。我們呼吸的空氣，飲用的水，生長(zhǎng)食物的土壤，是全球脆弱生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的一部分，這一系統(tǒng)所承受的人類活動(dòng)的壓力日益加大。從熱帶雨林砍伐到海洋漁業(yè)枯竭，從淡水日益緊缺到生物多樣性迅速退化，再到世界許多地區(qū)空氣和海洋污染日趨嚴(yán)重，我們感到了人類雙手的重量。

As our population grows we have to recognize that our consumption of the planet’s resources is unsustainable.We need a global transformation of attitude and practice.It is especially urgent to address how we generate the energy that drives our progress.Burning fossil fuels is the principal cause of climate change, which increasingly threatens prosperity and stability in all regions.That is why world leaders have pledged to reach a global legal climate agreement in 2015.世界人口不斷增長(zhǎng)，我們必須認(rèn)識(shí)到，我們對(duì)地球資源的消費(fèi)是無(wú)法持續(xù)的。我們必須從根本上改變我們的態(tài)度和做法。當(dāng)務(wù)之急是要解決如何生產(chǎn)推動(dòng)我們社會(huì)進(jìn)步的能源的問(wèn)題。燃燒化石燃料是造成氣候變化的主要原因，它日益威脅著世界各個(gè)地區(qū)的繁榮和穩(wěn)定。正因?yàn)槿绱?，世界各?guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人承諾在2015年就全球氣候問(wèn)題達(dá)成協(xié)議。

Action on climate change presents multiple opportunities to reset our relationship with Mother Earth and improve human well-being, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable.Sustainable energy for all can increase health, wealth and opportunity for billions of people, as can climate-smart agriculture, more efficient cities and better managed and protected forests.采取行動(dòng)應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化，給我們帶來(lái)了多種機(jī)會(huì)，使我們能夠調(diào)整與地球母親的關(guān)系，并改善人類，特別是最貧困最脆弱群體的福祉。農(nóng)業(yè)實(shí)現(xiàn)氣候智能化，城市提高效力，森立得到更好的管理和保護(hù)，將能增進(jìn)數(shù)十億人民的健康、財(cái)富和機(jī)會(huì)。為所有人提供可持續(xù)能源，同樣能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)。

To generate ambitious action on the ground and raise momentum for a new climate treaty in 2015, I am convening a Climate Summit in New York on 23 September this year.I am inviting Heads of State and Government along with private sector and civil society leaders to showcase initiatives and forge alliances that can help launch a sustainable future.But they need support and encouragement, for change is never easy.So today, on International Mother Earth Day, I appeal to all people everywhere to raise their voices.Speak out on behalf of this planet, our only home.Let us care for Mother Earth so she can continue to care for us as she has done for millennia.為促進(jìn)大規(guī)模實(shí)際行動(dòng)，為給2015年新的氣候條約營(yíng)造勢(shì)頭，我將于今年9月23日在紐約召開(kāi)氣候問(wèn)題峰會(huì)。我將邀請(qǐng)各國(guó)元首和政府首腦以及私營(yíng)部門(mén)和民間社會(huì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人建言獻(xiàn)策并結(jié)成聯(lián)盟，為實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)未來(lái)做出貢獻(xiàn)。但是，變化總是困難的，我們必須給他們以支持和鼓勵(lì)。因此，值此國(guó)際地球母親日，我呼吁世界各國(guó)人民發(fā)出呼聲——為地球，為我們唯一的家園發(fā)出呼聲。幾千年來(lái)，地球母親一直照顧著我們，我們應(yīng)該回報(bào)地球，使地球能夠繼續(xù)照顧我們。
