每年的纳尔逊·曼德拉国际日都呼吁全世界人民采取行动,花时间为他人服务,以促进他们生活和工作的地方发生变化。
The theme behind the Day – “Take
action, Inspire change” – highlights the importance of working together to
build a peaceful, sustainable and equitable world.
该国际日的主题是“采取行动,促进变化”,强调必须共同努力建设一个和平、可持续和公平的世界。
Nelson Mandela gave 67 years of
his life to the struggle for human rights and social justice. The United
Nations joins the Mandela Foundation in asking people around the world to
devote at least 67 minutes of their time on 18 July – Madiba’s birthday – to a
community service activity.
纳尔逊·曼德拉一生有67年是用来争取人权和社会正义。联合国同曼德拉基金会一道呼吁世界各国人民在7月18日曼德拉的生日至少花67分钟的时间用于社区服务活动。
As the UN marks its 70th
anniversary, there is no better time to reflect on the life and work of Mr.
Mandela, who embodied the highest values of the United Nations. This year, the
UN is bestowing the first ever Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Prize, established by
the General Assembly. This honorary award will be presented every five years to
two individuals – a man and a woman – who through their dedication, hard work
and compassion have built on Madiba’s legacy.
值此联合国成立70周年之时,现在来回顾曼德拉先生的生活和工作是再合适不过的时候,因为他体现了联合国的最高价值。今年,联合国将首次颁发由大会设立的纳尔逊·罗利赫拉赫拉·曼德拉奖。这一光荣的奖项将每五年颁发给两个人,一名男子和一名妇女,以表彰他们通过奉献精神、辛勤工作和同情心,在曼德拉所遗留的成果基础上做出更多的贡献。
Nelson Mandela once said: “It is
in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.” He was a leader
who acted with a steadfast belief in justice and human equality. Let us all
continue, each day, to draw inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life-long example
and his call to never cease working to build a better world for all.
纳尔逊·曼德拉曾说过:“只有依靠你的双手,才能创造一个人人享有的更加美好的世界。”他是一位坚信正义和人类平等的领袖。让我们大家继续每天都从纳尔逊·曼德拉毕生树立的榜样,以及他关于永远致力于为人类建设更美好世界的呼吁中汲取灵感。 |
