The launch today of the Decade of Action for Road Safety can help all countries drive along the path to a more secure future.今天启动的道路安全行动十年可以帮助各国循道驶向更安全的未来。
Road crashes kill nearly 1.3 million people every year, and leave millions more injured or permanently disabled.Impaired driving, unsafe roads and other dangers shatter lives in a matter of seconds.道路交通事故每年造成近130万人死亡，数百万人受伤或终身残疾。酒后驾驶、不安全的道路和其他危险可在瞬间毁灭生命。
The Decade can help thwart this needless loss of life.行动十年将有助于减少这种不必要的生命损失。
I call on Member States, international agencies, civil society organizations, businesses and community leaders and people everywhere to ensure that the Decade leads to real improvements.我呼吁各会员国、国际机构、民间社会组织、工商界和社区领袖以及各地民众确保行动十年产生真正的改善。
The Global Plan of Action for Road Safety is our collective map.It covers critical areas for action – from enhancing roads and vehicles to improving the behaviour of drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians.道路安全全球行动计划是我们的集体路线图，涵盖了一批重要的行动领域——从增强道路和车辆的安全性能到改进司机、摩托车驾驶人和行人的行为都包括在内。
Today, partners around the world are releasing national or citywide plans for the Decade, hosting policy discussions and enabling people affected by road crashes to share their stories widely.Now we need to move this campaign into high gear and steer our world to safer roads ahead.今天，世界各地的伙伴们都在为行动十年发布全国或全市的计划、主办政策讨论会并帮
助受交通事故影响者广泛传播他们的经历。我们现在需要把这场运动推向高潮，指引我们的世界走上更安全的前进道路。
Together, we can save millions of lives.我们一道努力，就能拯救数以百万计的生命。

第三篇：联合国秘书长2000年致辞
联合国秘书长2000年致辞（中英对照）
全世界亲爱的朋友们:
今天,我们庆祝一个特殊的新年,它的年号不同凡响,是2000年。走进新千年之际,有许多事是我们许多人都应该感恩的。世界大部分地区平安无事。我们大多数人比自己的父母和祖父母受的教育多,预期寿命长,享有更大的自由和更广泛的选择。
新世纪带来新的希望,但也可能带来新的危险,或者是老危险换上了可怕的新形式。有些人担心,经济变化会毁掉我们的就机会和生活方式。又有些人担心偏见、暴力或疾病会蔓延。还有一些人担心,人类活动可能毁掉生命赖以存在的全球环境。谁也不能确实知道,这每一种危险到底有多么严重。但是我们知道,这些危险有一个共同点:它们都是不尊重国界的。即便是最强大的国家,如果单独行动,或许也无法保护其公民免受这些危险之害。在人类历史上,我们从未像现在这样休戚与共。只有共同面对,我们才能掌握自己的命运。
朋友们,这就是成立联合国的原因。
通过联合国,我们共同努力维护和平,禁止滥杀滥伤的武器,把大屠杀的凶手和战争罪犯绳之以法。
通过联合国,我们共同努力战胜艾滋病和其他流行病,控制气候变化,让每个人都能享受到洁净的空气和饮水。
通过联合国,我们共同努力确保全球市场让人人获益,使穷人摆脱贫困。
通过联合国,我们共同努力让每个人都能切实享受人权,使人人都能真正作出生活的选择,对影响其生活的决定获得真正的发言权。
在所有这些领域以及其他领域,联合国正在为大家工作。要是没有大家,联合国便难以有所作为。毕竟,联合国是大家的联合国,是全世界人民的联合国。所以,有大家的帮助,有大家的智慧,联合国才能发挥更大的作用。
朋友们,新的千年不必是恐惧或担忧的时代。如果我们共同努力,相信自己的能力,新千年可以成为希望和机遇的时代。一切全靠我亲约骸?
祝大家新年快乐!
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL'S VIDEO MESSAGE
FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM
My dear friends all over the world,Today we celebrate a special New Year with a momentous number: the Year Two
Thousand.As we move into a new Millennium, many of us have much to be thankful for.Most of the world is at peace.Most of us are better educated than our parents or grandparents, and can expect to live longer lives, with greater freedom and a wider range of choices.A new century brings new hope, but can also bring new dangers-or old ones in a new and alarming form.Some of us fear seeing our jobs and our way of life destroyed by economic change.Others fear the spread of bigotry, violence or disease.Others still are more worried that human activities may be ruining the global environmenton which our life depends.No one knows for sure how serious each of these dangers will be.But one thing they have in common: they do not respect state frontiers.Even the strongest state, acting alone, may not be able to protect its citizens against them.More than ever before in human history, we all share a common destiny.We can master it only if we face it together.And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.Through the United Nations, we are working together to preserve peace;to outlaw weapons that kill and maim indiscriminately;to bring mass murderers and war criminals to justice.Through the United Nations, we are working together to defeat AIDS and other epidemics;to control climate change;to make clean air and water available to everyone.Through the United Nations, we are working together to ensure that the global market benefits all of us, freeing the poor to lift themselves out of poverty.Through the United Nations, we are working together to make human rights a reality for everyone ?to give all human beings real choices in life, and a real say in decisions that affect their lives.In all these areas and more, the United Nations is working for you.But it can do little without you.After all, it belongs to youthe peoples of the world.And therefore it can work much better with your help and your ideas.My friends, the new millennium need not be a time of fear or anxiety.If we work together and have faith in our own abilities, it can be a time of hope and opportunity.It's up to us to make it so.Politics and World Affairs
1.The two leaders stated that both countries would develop good-neighborly and friendly relations on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit and peaceful co-existence.两位领导人声明，两国将在互相尊重主权和领土完整，互不侵犯，互不干涉内政，平等互利与和平共处的基础上发展睦邻友好关系。
2.The country’s stability depends on how well the president can groom a successor.这个国家能否稳定取决于总统能否成功地培养一个接班人。
注：groom，使准备参加竞选，做好准备，训练。
3.He accused the prime minister of burnishing his own image while folding under pressure.他指责总理一方面在压力下退缩，一方面给自己脸上贴金。
注：accuse用在法律上应当译成“”指控“，如：He was accused of theft.（他被指控犯有偷窃罪）；fold,作不及物动词用时有”关闭“、”垮台“的意思此处转义”退缩“；burnishing原意是抛光、擦亮。
4.The opposition leader’s speech stole the headlines from the government.反对党领袖的演讲在报纸上大出风头，使政府相形见绌。
注：直译是：反对党领袖的演讲从政府手里偷走了报纸的通栏大标题。
5.He said that the release of the men gave the green light to terrorism.他说，释放这些人，等于向恐怖主义活动开绿灯。
注：也可以翻译成“等于纵容恐怖主义活动“。
6.The CIA is drawing fire as its director is questioned over press leaks.中央情报局被骂得焦头烂额，因为局长正因为报界泄密的问题接受质询。

“招致猛烈抨击“；leaks，此处显然指”泄密“。
7.Albright played hardball by walking out of the meeting.奥尔布莱特以退出会场的方式表示强硬的立场。

9.Blair is unlikely to roll back any of the previous ruling party’s major economic reforms.布莱尔看来不可能从上宙执政党推行的任何重大经济改革中退缩。
注：previous此处指布莱尔出任英国首相之前的执政党，即保守党。

注：a whiff of scandal,一个小小的丑闻；imbroglio，情节复杂、难下结论的事情。
11.A group of pragmatists are reorienting Iranian politics as the revolution fades into history.革命正在成为历史，一批实用主义者正在为伊朗重新确定政策方向。

注：blame…for…,把……归罪于。
15.The negotiators struggled to finalize a deal.谈判参加者努力做成一笔交易。

第四篇：秘书长联合国日致辞
今天，值此欢庆xiexiebang.com60周年之际，我们必须看到，今天的同当初xiexiebang.com创建之时相比，已经发生了巨大的变化。xiexiebang.com必须体现这一新的时代，应对这个时代的种种挑战。其中，最大的挑战是，我们都知道，上数以亿计的人无依无助，遭受着饥饿、疾病和环境退化的折磨，尽管不乏拯救他们的能力。
上个月，领导人在纽约聚集一堂，共商应付这些挑战的共同对策。
无论是富国还是穷国的领导人，都作出了具体的政策承诺，倘若这些政策得到充分落实，可在今后十年中将饥饿和贫穷减少百分之五十。
他们决定设立新的xiexiebang.com机构来促进人权，以及为饱受战乱的国家建立持久和平。
他们许诺打击一切形式的恐怖主义，并在必要时采取集体行动，保护人民免遭种族灭绝及其他滔天罪行之害。
他们还决定对xiexiebang.com秘书处进行重要的改革。
然而，在气候变化和安全理事会改革等问题上，他们只作出了软弱无力的声明。在核扩散和裁军问题上，他们未能达成任何一致意见。
他们给我们留下了大量工作。今天，在我们庆祝xiexiebang.com这一必不可少的组织60周年之际，我向你们保证，我将继续努力。我相信，你们作为全球公民，也会同样尽你们的力量。
第五篇：联合国秘书长反腐败致辞
Corruption afflicts all countries, undermining social progress and breeding inequality and injustice.腐败困扰着所有国家，它阻碍了社会进步，也滋生了不公平和不公正。
When desperately needed development funds are stolen by corrupt individuals and institutions, poor and vulnerable people are robbed of the education, health care and other essential services.当急需的发展资金被腐败的个人和机构窃取时，穷人和弱势群体接受教育、保健和其他基本服务的机会就被剥夺了。
Although the poor may be marginalized by corruption, they will not be silenced.In events across the Arab world and beyond this year, ordinary people have joined their voices in denouncing corruption and demanding that governments combat this crime against democracy.Their protests have triggered changes on the international scene that could barely have been imagined just months previously.穷人或许会被腐败边缘化，但他们不会保持沉默。今年在整个阿拉伯世界乃至更多地方发生的事件中，普通民众团结起来，异口同声地谴责腐败行为，并要求政府打击这种反民主的犯罪行为。他们的抗议活动导致国际局势发生了仅仅几个月之前仍难以想象的变化。
All of us have a responsibility to take action against the cancer of corruption.抗击腐败毒瘤，人人有责。
The United Nations is helping countries combat corruption as part of our broader, system-wide campaign to help bolster democracy and good governance.在我们全系统协助加强民主和善治更广泛运动过程中，联合国也在帮助各国打击腐败行为。
The United Nations Convention Against Corruption is a powerful tool in the fight.I urge all governments that have not yet ratified it to do so without delay.I also call on governments to include anti-corruption measures in all national programs that support sustainable development.《联合国反腐败公约》是这一斗争中的强大工具。我敦促所有仍未批准这一《公约》的各国政府从速予以批准。我还呼吁各国政府将反腐败措施纳入所有支持可持续发展的本国方案。
The private sector, too, stands to gain enormously from effective action.Corruption distorts markets, increases costs for companies and ultimately punishes consumers.Companies can create a more transparent global economy through anti-corruption initiatives, including the work of the United Nations Global Compact.私营部门若能采取有效行动，则也会获益良多。腐败行为扭曲了市场，增加了公司的成本，而最终受损害的则是消费者。各公司可以通过包括联合国全球契约的工作在内的反腐败举措，创造一个更加透明的全球经济。
On this International Anti-Corruption Day, let us pledge to do our part by cracking down on corruption, shaming those who practice it and engendering a culture that values ethical behavior.值此国际反腐日之际，让我们承诺做出自身应有的贡献，即打击腐败，唾弃腐败者，并树立崇尚德操的文化。
