聯合國秘書長古特雷斯12月28日發(fā)表新年致辭,呼吁世界各國人民為了人類、為了地球、為了繁榮,一起努力實現復蘇。
"The world welcomes 2022 with our hopes for the future being tested by deepening poverty and worsening inequality... an unequal distribution of COVID vaccines... climate commitments that fall short, and by ongoing conflict, division, and misinformation," lamented the top UN official.
古特雷斯表示,"當世界迎來2022年之際,我們對未來所抱的希望正在經受各種考驗:貧困日益加深、不平等更趨嚴重;新冠疫苗分配不均;氣候承諾未能如期兌現;沖突持續(xù)不斷、分裂狀況嚴重、誤導性信息泛濫。"
These are "not just policy tests," but "moral and real-life tests," he added.
他指出,這些不僅僅是對政策的考驗,也是對道德和現實生活的考驗。
Yet, these are tests that everyone can pass "if we commit to making 2022 a year of recovery for all," said the secretary-general. "Together, let's make recovery our resolution for 2022," he concluded. "I wish you all a happy and peaceful New Year."
但"如果我們致力于讓2022年成為'復蘇之年'",終將戰(zhàn)勝這些考驗。古特雷斯在致辭結束時說,"讓我們一起將實現復蘇作為2022年的新年決心。祝大家新年快樂祥和!"
