第1篇 联合国秘书长潘基文2019年世界难民日英语演讲稿
the number of forcibly displaced people in the world continues to rise. there are now more than 45 million refugees and internally displaced people – the highest level in nearly 20 years. last year alone, someone was forced to abandon their home every four seconds.
世界上被强迫流离失所者的人数持续增加。目前有4 500多万难民和境内流离失所者——这是近20年来的最高数字。仅在去年,每四秒钟就有一人被迫离开自己的家园。
war remains the dominant cause, with the crisis in syria a leading instance of major displacement. more than half of all refugees listed in a new report by the un high commissioner for refugees come from just five war-affected countries: afghanistan, somalia, iraq, syria and sudan. major new displacements have also been occurring in mali and the democratic republic of the congo.
战争仍是主要原因,而叙利亚危机是大规模流离失所的一个主要实例。仅五个受战争影响国家的难民就占了联合国难民事务高级专员新的报告中所列全部难民的一半以上;这五个国家是:阿富汗、索马里、伊拉克、叙利亚和苏丹。大量新的流离失所现象也已在马里和刚果民主共和国出现。
figures give only a glimpse of this enormous human tragedy. every day, conflict tears apart the lives of thousands of families. they may be forced to leave loved ones behind or become separated in the chaos of war. children suffer the most. nearly half of all refugees are below age 18, and a growing number are fleeing on their own.
数字只让人们看到了这一巨大人类悲剧的一瞥。每一天,冲突撕裂了数千个家庭。他们可能被迫离开亲人,也可能在战争的混乱局面中失散。儿童受苦最重。全部难民有近一半年龄不满18岁,越来越多的孩子自己逃离。
forced displacement also has a significant economic, social and, at times, political impact on the communities that provide shelter. there is a growing and deep imbalance in the burden of hosting refugees, with poor countries taking in the vast majority of the world’s uprooted people. developing countries host 81 per cent of the world’s refugees, compared to 70 per cent a decade ago.
强迫流离失所还对收容社区产生了重大的经济和社会影响,有时还产生了重大的政治影响。在收容难民的负担方面出现了日益严重的不平衡,穷国接收了世界上绝大多数流离失所者。发展中国家收容了世界难民中的81%,而十年前则为70%。
finding durable solutions for the displaced will require more solidarity and burden-sharing by the international community. on world refugee day, i call on the international community to intensify efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts, and to help achieve peace and security so that families can be reunited and refugees can return home.
要为流离失所者找到持久的解决办法,就需要国际社会更加团结一致,共同承受负担。在世界难民日,我呼吁国际社会加紧努力,预防和解决冲突,帮助实现和平与安全,以便使家庭能够团聚,难民能够返回家园。
第2篇 联合国秘书长世界难民日英语演讲稿
on this observance of world refugee day, we must note a troubling trend: the decline in the number of refugees who are able to go home.
在纪念世界难民日之际,我们必须注意到一个令人不安的趋势:能够返回家园的难民人数在下降。
in xx, more than a million people returned to their own country on a voluntary basis. last year, only 250,000 did so - the lowest number in two decades. the reasons for this include prolonged instability in afghanistan, the democratic republic of congo and southern sudan.
xx年,一百多万人自愿返回了自己的国家。去年,只有25万人这样做,这是二十年来的最低数字。出现这种现象的原因包括阿富汗、刚果民 主共和国和苏丹南部的长期动荡。
the theme of this year's observance -- “home” -- highlights the plight of the world's 15 million refugees, more than three-quarters of them in the developing world, who have been uprooted from their homes by conflict or persecution.
今年纪念活动的主题——“家园”——突显了全世界由于冲突或迫害而离乡背井的1500万难民的困境,其中四分之三以上在发展中国家。
for many refugees today, rapid urbanization means that home is not a crowded camp run by an international humanitarian organization, but a makeshift shelter in a shantytown, outside a city in the developing world.
今天,对许多难民而言,快速城市化意味着家园不是一个由国际人道主义组织管理的拥挤的营地,而是位于发展中世界某个城市外围某个棚户区的某 个临时收容所。
as these cities continue to experience spectacular growth, refugees are among their most vulnerable residents. they must struggle for the most basic services: sanitation, health and education. the impact of the global financial and economic crisis only increases the threat of marginalization and destitution.
随着这些城市继续以惊人的速度增长,难民成为城市中最弱势的居民群体之一。他们必须为获得环境卫生、健康和教育等最基本的服务而挣扎。全球 金融和经济危机的影响更加剧了边缘化和赤贫的威胁。
we in the humanitarian community must adapt our policies to this changing profile of need. this means working closely with host governments to deliver services, and intensifying our efforts to resolve conflicts so that refugees can return home.
我们人道主义界必须调整政策,以适应不断变化的需求。这意味着与东道国政府密切合作以交付服务,并增强努力,解决冲突,以便难民返回家园。
on world refugee day, let us reaffirm the importance of solidarity and burden-sharing by the international community. refugees have been deprived of their homes, but they must not be deprived of their futures.
在世界难民日之际,让我们重申国际社会必须团结一致、分担负担。难民的家园已被剥夺,绝不能让他们的未来也被剥夺。
