American jazz pianist Bill Evans once said, “Jazz is not a what, it is a how.” On this International Jazz Day, we therefore celebrate more than a musical art: we celebrate a way of being together.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/13308.html

美国爵士乐钢琴家比尔·埃文斯曾说：“爵士乐不在于风格，而在于过程”。因此，值此国际爵士乐日，我们礼赞的不仅仅是一种音乐艺术，更是一种相处的方式。文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/13308.html

Indeed, the art of Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and many others is rooted in a humanistic commitment to saying no to racism and injustice.
的确，迈尔斯·戴维斯、路易斯·阿姆斯特朗、埃拉·菲茨杰拉德等许多爵士乐名家的艺术，都植根于一种与种族主义和不公正开展斗争的人文主义追求。
From the backyards of musicians to the popular clubs of metropolitan cities, jazz makes us look beyond the notes and see one another as equal human beings. It allows us to look at our relationship to the world and to each other, while celebrating our diversity and differences.
从音乐家的后院到大都市知名的音乐俱乐部，爵士乐使我们能够超越音符，彼此平等相待。它也让我们在赞颂我们的多样性和差异性的同时，审视我们与世界以及我们与他人的关系。
This is also the core of UNESCO’s mandate – and that is why, since 2012, we celebrate International Jazz Day every year on 30 April.
而这也正是教科文组织工作任务的核心所在，并且，也正因如此，自2012年以来，我们每年都在4月30日庆祝国际爵士乐日。
For the past two years, this day has taken on added importance. The pandemic has had a major impact on the music industry and especially music like jazz, which is so deeply rooted in improvisation, in live performance.
在过去的两年里，这一国际日具有了更加重要的意义。疫情对音乐行业，特别是像爵士乐这种深深扎根于即兴创作和现场表演的音乐，产生了重大影响。
In fact, the consequences of the pandemic have been felt throughout the culture sector as a whole, worsening the situation of authors and creators, which was fragile even before the pandemic.
实际上，疫情的影响波及到整个文化领域，进一步恶化了作者和创作者的处境，而在疫情到来之前他们的处境本来就很脆弱。
This day is therefore an opportunity to reflect on the role of artists and culture in our societies. UNESCO’s report Reshaping Policies for Creativity, published in February, makes a number of thought-provoking proposals in this regard. For example, it recommends public policies that support much stronger economic and social protection for cultural professionals, and the fairer distribution of revenues from online platforms.
因此，这一国际日也是反思艺术家和文化在我们社会中的作用的一个契机。教科文组织在今年2月份发布的报告《重塑促进创造性政策》，就此提出了一些发人深省的建议。例如，报告建议制定公共政策，为文化专业人员提供更强有力的经济和社会保护，并对在线平台的收入进行更公平的分配。
This day is also an opportunity to pay tribute to all creators for the joy and emotions they bring us, and to echo the universal message of jazz musicians. In this spirit, we are delighted to once again be able to count on the commitment of our official Jazz Day partner, the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz. Through performances, but also through educational tools and outreach programmes, we are reaching young and old and promoting the messages of jazz that engender respect, hope and community.
这一国际日也为我们提供了机会，向所有那些为我们带来快乐和激动感受的创作者致敬，并积极响应爵士乐音乐家们所传递的普遍性信息。本着这种精神，我们很高兴能够再次借助我们的国际爵士乐日官方合作伙伴赫比·汉考克爵士音乐学院的倾力协助。通过演出活动，也通过教育工具和外联计划，我们触及到青年人和老年人，并大力弘扬爵士乐所蕴含的尊重、希望和共处价值。
As we work to build a more united and inclusive world, we can look to jazz for inspiration. Jazz is the story of many, across borders and cultures. In the words of the Queen of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald, “Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.”
当我们致力于建设一个更加团结和包容的世界时，我们可以从爵士乐中寻找灵感。爵士乐跨越国界和文化，讲述了许多人的故事。正如爵士乐女王埃拉·菲茨杰拉德所言，“只要有爱和灵感伴随，你就不会走错路”。
