联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯呼吁全球停火视频致辞
2020年3月24日
Our world faces a common enemy: COVID-19.
我们世界面临一个共同的敌人——2019冠状病毒。
The virus does not care about ethnicity or nationality, faction or faith. It attacks all, relentlessly.
病毒不分国籍、民族、派别、信仰,无情地侵袭所有群体。
Meanwhile, armed conflict rages on around the world.
而在同时,武装冲突的战火在世界各地继续燃烧。
The most vulnerable – women and children, people with disabilities, the marginalized and the displaced – pay the highest price.
最脆弱的群体——妇女儿童、残疾人、边缘化群体、流离失所者——付出了最高的代价。
They are also at the highest risk of suffering devastating losses from COVID-19.
他们遭受疫情毁灭性打击的风险最大。
Let’s not forget that in war-ravaged countries, health systems have collapsed.
我们不要忘记,在饱受战争蹂躏的国家,卫生系统已经崩溃。
Health professionals, already few in number, have often been targeted.
本就缺少的医务人员不少已经成为病毒攻击的目标。
Refugees and others displaced by violent conflict are doubly vulnerable.
因为暴力冲突而流离失所的难民和其他群体的处境更为危险。
The fury of the virus illustrates the folly of war.
病毒的肆虐恰恰说明战争的愚蠢。
That is why today, I am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world.
所以,我今天发出呼吁——世界各地立即实现全球停火。
It is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the true fight of our lives.
从现在起,我们要停止战斗,而共同关注我们生活中的真正“战疫”。
To warring parties, I say:
对交战各方,我要说:
Pull back from hostilities.
撤出敌对状态。
Put aside mistrust and animosity.
摒弃不信任和敌意。
Silence the guns; stop the artillery; end the airstrikes.
放下枪支;停止炮击;结束空袭。
This is crucial…
这一点最为重要……
To help create corridors for life-saving aid.
帮助建立救生援助走廊。
To open precious windows for diplomacy.
为外交打开宝贵窗口。
To bring hope to places among the most vulnerable to COVID-19.
给疫情最严重地区带去希望。
Let us take inspiration from coalitions and dialogue slowly taking shape among rival parties in some parts to enable joint approaches to COVID-19. But we need much more.
让交战双方捐弃前嫌而逐渐形成的联盟和对话给我们以启示,使我们能够联手应对疫情。但是,仅有应对还不够。
End the sickness of war and fight the disease that is ravaging our world.
我们要根治战争的顽疾;要向蹂躏我们世界的疫情宣战。
It starts by stopping the fighting everywhere. Now.
第一步就是在世界各地宣布停火休战。从现在起。
That is what our human family needs, now more than ever.
这是我们人类大家庭在危难之际的共同需要。 |
