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。
