第三篇：聯(lián)合國秘書長2000年致辭

聯(lián)合國秘書長2000年致辭（中英對照）

全世界親愛的朋友們:

今天,我們慶祝一個特殊的新年,它的年號不同凡響,是2000年。走進新千年之際,有許多事是我們許多人都應(yīng)該感恩的。世界大部分地區(qū)平安無事。我們大多數(shù)人比自己的父母和祖父母受的教育多,預(yù)期壽命長,享有更大的自由和更廣泛的選擇。

新世紀(jì)帶來新的希望,但也可能帶來新的危險,或者是老危險換上了可怕的新形式。有些人擔(dān)心,經(jīng)濟變化會毀掉我們的就機會和生活方式。又有些人擔(dān)心偏見、暴力或疾病會蔓延。還有一些人擔(dān)心,人類活動可能毀掉生命賴以存在的全球環(huán)境。誰也不能確實知道,這每一種危險到底有多么嚴(yán)重。但是我們知道,這些危險有一個共同點:它們都是不尊重國界的。即便是最強大的國家,如果單獨行動,或許也無法保護其公民免受這些危險之害。在人類歷史上,我們從未像現(xiàn)在這樣休戚與共。只有共同面對,我們才能掌握自己的命運。

朋友們,這就是成立聯(lián)合國的原因。

通過聯(lián)合國,我們共同努力維護和平,禁止濫殺濫傷的武器,把大屠殺的兇手和戰(zhàn)爭罪犯繩之以法。

通過聯(lián)合國,我們共同努力戰(zhàn)勝艾滋病和其他流行病,控制氣候變化,讓每個人都能享受到潔凈的空氣和飲水。

通過聯(lián)合國,我們共同努力確保全球市場讓人人獲益,使窮人擺脫貧困。

通過聯(lián)合國,我們共同努力讓每個人都能切實享受人權(quán),使人人都能真正作出生活的選擇,對影響其生活的決定獲得真正的發(fā)言權(quán)。

在所有這些領(lǐng)域以及其他領(lǐng)域,聯(lián)合國正在為大家工作。要是沒有大家,聯(lián)合國便難以有所作為。畢竟,聯(lián)合國是大家的聯(lián)合國,是全世界人民的聯(lián)合國。所以,有大家的幫助,有大家的智慧,聯(lián)合國才能發(fā)揮更大的作用。

朋友們,新的千年不必是恐懼或擔(dān)憂的時代。如果我們共同努力,相信自己的能力,新千年可以成為希望和機遇的時代。一切全靠我親約骸?

祝大家新年快樂!

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL'S VIDEO MESSAGE

FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

My dear friends all over the world,Today we celebrate a special New Year with a momentous number: the Year Two

Thousand.As we move into a new Millennium, many of us have much to be thankful for.Most of the world is at peace.Most of us are better educated than our parents or grandparents, and can expect to live longer lives, with greater freedom and a wider range of choices.A new century brings new hope, but can also bring new dangers-or old ones in a new and alarming form.Some of us fear seeing our jobs and our way of life destroyed by economic change.Others fear the spread of bigotry, violence or disease.Others still are more worried that human activities may be ruining the global environmenton which our life depends.No one knows for sure how serious each of these dangers will be.But one thing they have in common: they do not respect state frontiers.Even the strongest state, acting alone, may not be able to protect its citizens against them.More than ever before in human history, we all share a common destiny.We can master it only if we face it together.And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.Through the United Nations, we are working together to preserve peace;to outlaw weapons that kill and maim indiscriminately;to bring mass murderers and war criminals to justice.Through the United Nations, we are working together to defeat AIDS and other epidemics;to control climate change;to make clean air and water available to everyone.Through the United Nations, we are working together to ensure that the global market benefits all of us, freeing the poor to lift themselves out of poverty.Through the United Nations, we are working together to make human rights a reality for everyone ?to give all human beings real choices in life, and a real say in decisions that affect their lives.In all these areas and more, the United Nations is working for you.But it can do little without you.After all, it belongs to youthe peoples of the world.And therefore it can work much better with your help and your ideas.My friends, the new millennium need not be a time of fear or anxiety.If we work together and have faith in our own abilities, it can be a time of hope and opportunity.It's up to us to make it so.Politics and World Affairs

1.The two leaders stated that both countries would develop good-neighborly and friendly relations on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit and peaceful co-existence.兩位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人聲明，兩國將在互相尊重主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整，互不侵犯，互不干涉內(nèi)政，平等互利與和平共處的基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展睦鄰友好關(guān)系。

2.The country’s stability depends on how well the president can groom a successor.這個國家能否穩(wěn)定取決于總統(tǒng)能否成功地培養(yǎng)一個接班人。

注：groom，使準(zhǔn)備參加競選，做好準(zhǔn)備，訓(xùn)練。

3.He accused the prime minister of burnishing his own image while folding under pressure.他指責(zé)總理一方面在壓力下退縮，一方面給自己臉上貼金。

注：accuse用在法律上應(yīng)當(dāng)譯成“”指控“，如：He was accused of theft.（他被指控犯有偷竊罪）；fold,作不及物動詞用時有”關(guān)閉“、”垮臺“的意思此處轉(zhuǎn)義”退縮“；burnishing原意是拋光、擦亮。

4.The opposition leader’s speech stole the headlines from the government.反對黨領(lǐng)袖的演講在報紙上大出風(fēng)頭，使政府相形見絀。

注：直譯是：反對黨領(lǐng)袖的演講從政府手里偷走了報紙的通欄大標(biāo)題。

5.He said that the release of the men gave the green light to terrorism.他說，釋放這些人，等于向恐怖主義活動開綠燈。

注：也可以翻譯成“等于縱容恐怖主義活動“。

6.The CIA is drawing fire as its director is questioned over press leaks.中央情報局被罵得焦頭爛額，因為局長正因為報界泄密的問題接受質(zhì)詢。

8.While the West goes about its business, Russia gains nothing by going off into a corner to sulk.西方依然我行我素，而俄羅斯一無所獲，只好縮在旮旯（ga-la）里生氣。

注：這個句子非常形象：to go about one’s business的意思是“該干什么還干什么”go off into a corner to sulk，直譯是“走開到一個角落里生氣”；gain nothing，什么也沒有得到。

9.Blair is unlikely to roll back any of the previous ruling party’s major economic reforms.布萊爾看來不可能從上宙執(zhí)政黨推行的任何重大經(jīng)濟改革中退縮。

注：previous此處指布萊爾出任英國首相之前的執(zhí)政黨，即保守黨。

10.The whiff of scandal, and particularly the cash-for-questions imbroglio, reminds the electorate that power concentrated in the hands of a single party for too long tends to corrupt.盡管丑聞不大，而且這些來路不明的款項內(nèi)情復(fù)雜，至今尚無定論，卻也足以提選民：權(quán)力集中字一個政黨手中過長就會產(chǎn)生腐敗。

注：a whiff of scandal,一個小小的丑聞；imbroglio，情節(jié)復(fù)雜、難下結(jié)論的事情。

注：spin的原意是紡織，在美國俚語中引申為“編造謊言“；public relations的意思是”公關(guān)“，但是在資本主義國家，公司、政府等公關(guān)機構(gòu)等于我國的”宣傳部“，這同我國一般群眾理解的”公關(guān)“不盡相同，為了照顧中國人對”公關(guān)“的理解，此處將public relations譯為”宣傳“。

第四篇：秘書長聯(lián)合國日致辭

今天，值此歡慶xiexiebang.com60周年之際，我們必須看到，今天的同當(dāng)初xiexiebang.com創(chuàng)建之時相比，已經(jīng)發(fā)生了巨大的變化。xiexiebang.com必須體現(xiàn)這一新的時代，應(yīng)對這個時代的種種挑戰(zhàn)。其中，最大的挑戰(zhàn)是，我們都知道，上數(shù)以億計的人無依無助，遭受著饑餓、疾病和環(huán)境退化的折磨，盡管不乏拯救他們的能力。

上個月，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在紐約聚集一堂，共商應(yīng)付這些挑戰(zhàn)的共同對策。

無論是富國還是窮國的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，都作出了具體的政策承諾，倘若這些政策得到充分落實，可在今后十年中將饑餓和貧窮減少百分之五十。

他們決定設(shè)立新的xiexiebang.com機構(gòu)來促進人權(quán)，以及為飽受戰(zhàn)亂的國家建立持久和平。

他們許諾打擊一切形式的恐怖主義，并在必要時采取集體行動，保護人民免遭種族滅絕及其他滔天罪行之害。

他們還決定對xiexiebang.com秘書處進行重要的改革。

然而，在氣候變化和安全理事會改革等問題上，他們只作出了軟弱無力的聲明。在核擴散和裁軍問題上，他們未能達成任何一致意見。

他們給我們留下了大量工作。今天，在我們慶祝xiexiebang.com這一必不可少的組織60周年之際，我向你們保證，我將繼續(xù)努力。我相信，你們作為全球公民，也會同樣盡你們的力量。

第五篇：聯(lián)合國秘書長反腐敗致辭

Corruption afflicts all countries, undermining social progress and breeding inequality and injustice.腐敗困擾著所有國家，它阻礙了社會進步，也滋生了不公平和不公正。

When desperately needed development funds are stolen by corrupt individuals and institutions, poor and vulnerable people are robbed of the education, health care and other essential services.當(dāng)急需的發(fā)展資金被腐敗的個人和機構(gòu)竊取時，窮人和弱勢群體接受教育、保健和其他基本服務(wù)的機會就被剝奪了。

Although the poor may be marginalized by corruption, they will not be silenced.In events across the Arab world and beyond this year, ordinary people have joined their voices in denouncing corruption and demanding that governments combat this crime against democracy.Their protests have triggered changes on the international scene that could barely have been imagined just months previously.窮人或許會被腐敗邊緣化，但他們不會保持沉默。今年在整個阿拉伯世界乃至更多地方發(fā)生的事件中，普通民眾團結(jié)起來，異口同聲地譴責(zé)腐敗行為，并要求政府打擊這種反民主的犯罪行為。他們的抗議活動導(dǎo)致國際局勢發(fā)生了僅僅幾個月之前仍難以想象的變化。

All of us have a responsibility to take action against the cancer of corruption.抗擊腐敗毒瘤，人人有責(zé)。

The United Nations is helping countries combat corruption as part of our broader, system-wide campaign to help bolster democracy and good governance.在我們?nèi)到y(tǒng)協(xié)助加強民主和善治更廣泛運動過程中，聯(lián)合國也在幫助各國打擊腐敗行為。

The United Nations Convention Against Corruption is a powerful tool in the fight.I urge all governments that have not yet ratified it to do so without delay.I also call on governments to include anti-corruption measures in all national programs that support sustainable development.《聯(lián)合國反腐敗公約》是這一斗爭中的強大工具。我敦促所有仍未批準(zhǔn)這一《公約》的各國政府從速予以批準(zhǔn)。我還呼吁各國政府將反腐敗措施納入所有支持可持續(xù)發(fā)展的本國方案。

The private sector, too, stands to gain enormously from effective action.Corruption distorts markets, increases costs for companies and ultimately punishes consumers.Companies can create a more transparent global economy through anti-corruption initiatives, including the work of the United Nations Global Compact.私營部門若能采取有效行動，則也會獲益良多。腐敗行為扭曲了市場，增加了公司的成本，而最終受損害的則是消費者。各公司可以通過包括聯(lián)合國全球契約的工作在內(nèi)的反腐敗舉措，創(chuàng)造一個更加透明的全球經(jīng)濟。

On this International Anti-Corruption Day, let us pledge to do our part by cracking down on corruption, shaming those who practice it and engendering a culture that values ethical behavior.值此國際反腐日之際，讓我們承諾做出自身應(yīng)有的貢獻，即打擊腐敗，唾棄腐敗者，并樹立崇尚德操的文化。
