Message on World Youth Skills Day

世界青年技能日致辞

July 2016 2016年7月15日

Today’s world has the largest generation of youth in history.Their needs and potential are increasingly recognized in the international community.I am proud to have made youth issues a priority, including by appointing the first-ever Youth Envoy to serve as a liaison between the United Nations and the world’s young people.当今世界的一代青年人数众多，史无前例。青年的需要和潜力日益受到国际社会的承认。我引以自豪的是，我把青年问题列为优先事项，并任命首位青年特使，在联合国与世界青年之间搭起桥梁。

This elevation on the global agenda comes at a critical time.Young people hold the key to society’s future advancement, yet too often they face barriers to their personal progress.More than 73 million are unemployed, making youth three times more likely than adults to be out of work.提升青年问题在全球议程的地位之时，正值一个关键时刻。青年人掌握着社会未来进步的钥匙，但他们自身的进步却往往受到太多阻碍。目前有7300多万青年失业，失业率比成年人高三倍。

The turmoil prevailing in many societies today adds to the urgency of addressing youth unemployment.Too many youth in developing countries are trapped into working poverty stemming from the irregularity of jobs.They toil without formal employment or social protection.Jobs creation is not keeping up with new entrants to the labour market.今天许多社会动荡不安，使解决青年失业问题平添几分急迫性。由于不能正常就业，发展中国家有太多青年人沦为穷忙族。他们辛苦劳作，没有正规工作，得不到社会保护。新增就业机会赶不上新进入劳动力市场的人数。

Young people are understandably searching for the financial security, personal satisfaction and sense of purpose that come from meaningful employment.Leaders have pledged to assist them in this effort.The visionary 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for

韩刚笔译学习QQ群 341275074 substantially increasing the number of youth with the skills they need for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship.青年人追寻有意义的就业机会，进而获得经济保障、实现自我价值，这是可以理解的。各国领导人已承诺在这方面协助青年人。《2030年可持续发展议程》高瞻远瞩，呼吁大幅增加掌握就业、体面工作和创业所需技能的青年人数。

Empowering young people through skills development strengthens their capacity to help address the many challenges facing society, including poverty, injustice and violent conflict.There is no better investment than helping a young person to develop their abilities.Successful skills programmes link young people with opportunities to gain experience and jobs.It is especially critical to cultivate girls and young women with skills in science, technology and innovation.通过提升技能而增强青年的权能，使青年更有能力帮助解决社会面临的许多挑战，包括贫穷、不公正和暴力冲突。帮助青年提升能力是最好的投资。成功的技能提升项目把青年与积累经验和就业机会联在一起。培养女童和青年妇女掌握科技和创新技能尤其重要。

The United Nations Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth is bringing together the UN system, governments, businesses, academic institutions, youth organizations and other partners to scale up action and impact in this area.联合国发起的“为青年创造体面工作机会全球倡议”汇集了联合国系统、各国政府、企业、学术机构、青年组织和其他合作伙伴，共同加强这一领域的行动和效果。

On this World Youth Skills Day, let us renew our resolve to invest more in empowering young people.When we do, they can better advance the broader mission of the United Nations for lasting peace, sustainable development and human rights for all.值此世界青年技能日之际，让我们重申我们决心更多地为青年投资，增强青年的权能。当我们这样做的时候，青年就能更有力地推动联合国的宏大使命，促进全人类的持久和平、可持续发展和人权。

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Message for International Youth Day 2011August, 2011

联合国秘书长潘基文2011年国际青年日致辞

2011年8月12日

“Change Our World” is more than the theme of this year’s International Youth Day;it is an injunction that

should inspire young people at all times.“改变世界”不只是今年国际青年日的主题，而且是一条激励各个时代青年人的训喻。

Far too many of the world’s more than one billion young people lack the education, freedom and

opportunities they deserve.Yet despite these constraints – and in some cases because of them – young people are mobilizing in growing numbers to build a better future.Over the past year, they have achieved stunning results,overturning dictatorships and sending waves of hope across regions and around the world.在全世界10亿多青年中，太多的人得不到他们应享的教育、自由和各种机会。然而，尽管存在这些限制，有些情况下正是因为这些限制，越来越多的青年为创造更美好的未来行动起来。过去一年中，他们取

得了令人瞩目的成果，推翻了独裁统治，将希望传播到各区域和世界各地。

Young people are gifted with open minds and a keen awareness of emerging trends, and are bringing their energy, ideas and courage to some of the most complex and important challenges facing the human family.They often understand better than older generations that we can transcend our religious and cultural differences in order to reach our shared goals.They are standing up for the rights of oppressed peoples, including those who suffer discrimination based on gender, race and sexual orientation.They are confronting sensitive issues in order to stop

the spread of HIV.And they are often the leading proponents of sustainability and green life-styles.青年天生思想开放，可敏锐察觉新的趋势，他们运用自己的能量、想法和勇气来解决人类大家庭面临的一些最为复杂和重要的挑战。他们往往比老一辈人更明白，为达成共同的目标，我们可以超越宗教和文化的差异。他们挺身维护受压迫人民的权利，包括那些因性别、种族和性取向而遭受歧视的人们的权利。为了遏制艾滋病毒的蔓延，他们勇敢面对敏感问题。他们还常常带头提倡可持续性和绿色生活方式。The international community must continue to work together to expand the horizons of opportunity for these young women and men and answer their legitimate demands for dignity, development and decent work.Failing to invest in our youth is a false economy.Investments in young people will pay great dividends in a better future for

all.国际社会必须继续共同努力，为这些青年男女扩展各种机会空间，回应他们对尊严、发展和体面工作的合法需求。不对青年进行投资，将是失败的经济。而投资于青年将带来丰厚回报，为所有人创造一个更

美好的未来。

This Day marks the end of the International Year of Youth, a milestone in global advocacy by and for the world’s young people.My hope is that this experience will now provide a foundation to go even further in harnessing the talents and energies of young people.To them I say: you have the opportunity to change our world.Seize it.在全世界青年参与为他们开展的全球宣传中，国际青年年是一个里程碑。今天是国际青年年结束的日子。我希望通过此次活动，为进一步利用青年人的才智和能量打下基础。我要对青年人说：你们有机会改

变世界，抓住机遇！

UN Secretary General's Video Message for UN Day 2010October 2010

联合国秘书长潘基文2010年联合国日致辞

2010年10月24日

On United Nations Day, I express my great appreciation to the millions of people throughout the world who believe deeply in our work for peace, development and human rights… and who uphold our ideals and help us achieve our goals.To all of your friends and fellow citizens of the world I say: thank you.值此联合国日，我谨对坚信我们为和平、发展和人权所作的工作……捍卫我们的理想并帮助我们实现目标的遍布全世界的数百万人表示由衷的感谢。我要对你们大家……朋友们和世界公民们……说：谢谢你们。

Sixty-five years ago on this date, the founding Charter of the United Nations entered into force.Every year on UN Day, we reaffirm our global mission.We reassert the universal values of tolerance, mutual respect and human dignity.And we recognize the progress we have made together: gains in literacy and life expectancy… the spread of knowledge and technology...advances in democracy and the rule of law.65年前的今天，联合国的创始宪章开始生效。每年的联合国日，我们都重申我们的全球使命。我们重申容忍、相互尊重和人类尊严这些普遍的价值观。我们肯定我们共同取得的进展：文盲减少了，预期寿命增加了……知识和技术得到了传播……民主和法治得到了推进。But above all, UN Day is a day on which we resolve to do more.More to protect those caught up in armed conflict, to fight climate change and avert nuclear catastrophe;more to expand opportunities for women and girls, and to combat injustice and impunity;more to meet the Millennium Development Goals.不过，联合国日首先是我们下决心继续努力的日子。继续努力保护受到武装冲突影响的人、应对气候变化和避免核灾难；继续努力为妇女和女童提供更多的机会、消除不公正和有罪不罚现象；继续努力实现千年发展目标。

Last month’s MDG Summit at the United Nations generated political momentum… as well as financial commitments that are especially significant in these difficult economic times.I am determined to press ahead as the 2015 deadline approaches.上个月举行的联合国千年发展目标首脑会议推动了政治势头的形成……及财政承诺。在当今经济困难时期，这种财政承诺尤其重要。离最后期限2015年越来越近了，我决心加速前进。Despite our problems, despite polarization and distrust, our interconnected world has opened up vast new possibilities for common progress.Let us commit to do even more to realize the great vision set out in the UN Charter.尽管我们面临各种问题，尽管存在两极分化和不信任，我们这个相互连接在一起的世界为共同进步提供了大量新的机会。让我们承诺加倍努力，实现《联合国宪章》所描绘的美好前景。

第四篇：联合国秘书长潘基文2011年世界海洋日致辞

联合国秘书长潘基文2011年世界海洋日致辞 2011年6月8日

World Oceans Day is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of oceans to humankind's sustainable development.It is also a time to recognize the many severe challenges related to oceans.These range from depleted fishery resources, the impacts of climate change and the deterioration of the marine environment to maritime safety and security, labour conditions for seafarers and the increasingly important issue of migration by sea.世界海洋日使我们有机会思考海洋对人类可持续发展的重要性。这也是一个认识到与海洋相关的很多严峻挑战的时机。这些挑战涉及诸多方面，从渔业资源的枯竭、气候变化的影响和海洋环境的恶化，到海上安全与保障、海员的工作条件和越来越重要的经由海路移徙问题。

Some of these concerns have arisen since the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.The progressive development of the law of the sea through the Convention and related instruments is meant to contribute to the sustainable development of the oceans and seas as well as to the strengthening of international peace and security, the equitable and efficient utilization of ocean resources, the protection and preservation of the marine environment and the realization of a just and equitable economic order.As such, the law of the sea provides a flexible and evolving framework for adapting to new challenges.其中一些关切问题是在《联合国海洋法公约》通过之后提出的。海洋法通过该《公约》及相关文书得到逐步发展，意在促进海洋的可持续发展，并推动加强国际和平与安全，公平有效地利用海洋资源，保护和养护海洋环境以及实现公正和公平的经济秩序。因此，海洋法是适应各种新挑战的一个灵活和不断发展的框架。

The ecosystem functions that oceans provide, and their importance to the global economy, deserve particular attention as we look ahead to next year's Rio +20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development.For that reason, the theme of this year's observance is “Our oceans: greening our future”.在我们展望明年召开的里约+20联合国可持续发展大会之际，应该特别关注海洋所提供的生态系统功能和这些功能对全球经济的重要性。正因如此，今年纪念活动的主题是“我们的海洋：绿化我们的未来”。

All activities and policies related to oceans and the marine environment need to acknowledge and incorporate the three pillars of sustainable development: environmental, social and economic.Only then can we achieve the development objectives set by the international community.On this year's World Oceans Day, I urge governments and all sectors of society to embrace our individual and collective responsibility to protect the marine environment and manage its resources in a sustainable manner for present and future generations.与海洋和海洋环境有关的所有活动和政策都应该确认并列入可持续发展的三大支柱：环境、社会和经济。只有这样，我们才能实现国际社会提出的发展目标。在今年的世界海洋日，我敦促各国政府和社会各界各自和集体担负起我们的责任，为今世后代保护海洋环境，并以可持续的方式管理其资源。

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s message for World Oceans DayJune, 2010

联合国秘书长潘基文2010年世界海洋日致辞

2010年6月8 日

Oceans play a key role in our daily lives.They are integral to sustainable development and an important frontier for research.As scientists explore the oceans at greater depths than ever before, they continue to discover new forms of marine life.This research has great potential to advance human well-being.海洋在我们的日常生活中发挥着关键作用，是可持续发展的有机组成部分，是重要的科研前沿地带。科学家正在对海洋进行前所未有的深入探索，他 们不断发现新形式的海洋生物。这一研究很有可能为人类谋取福祉。

But, if we are to fully benefit from what oceans have to offer, we must address the damaging impacts of human activities.The diversity of life in the oceans is under ever-increasing strain.Over-exploitation of marine living resources, climate change, and pollution from hazardous materials and activities all pose a grave threat to the marine environment.So does the growth of criminal activities, including piracy, which have serious implications for the security of navigation and the safety of seafarers.但是，如果我们希望充分得益于海洋所能带来的惠益，我们就必须消除人类活动产生的破坏影响。海洋生物多样性正日益面临更大压力。对海洋生物 资源的过度开发、气候变化及有害物质和活动所致的污染，这些都对海洋环境构成严重威胁。犯罪活动的增加，包括海盗行为，同样也是严重威胁，对航行安全和海 员的安全有着严重影响。

Much action is already being taken within the framework of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea — our “constitution for the oceans”.More than 15 years after the Convention’s entry into force, it continues to act as our guide.But if we are to safeguard the capacity of the oceans to service society’s many and varied needs, we need to do much more.On this second annual commemoration of World Oceans Day, I urge Governments and citizens everywhere to acknowledge the enormous value of the world’s oceans — and do their part in ensuring their health and vitality.已开始在1982年《联合国海洋法公约》框架内采取许多行动，该公约是我们的“海洋宪法”。该公约生效已有15年之久，但它仍是我们的行动 导向。然而，如欲保障海洋服务于人类社

会多种多样需要的能力，我们还需要做更多工作。在此世界海洋日两周年活动之际，我促请各国政府和世界各地公民认同世 界各大洋的巨大价值，各尽所能，确保各大洋的健康和活力。
