联合国秘书长2010年世界无烟日致辞
2010年5月31日
This year’s observance of World No Tobacco Day focuses on “Gender and tobacco, with an emphasis on marketing to women”.今年世界无烟日活动的主题是“两性与烟草——关注针对女性的促销行为”。
Although fewer than 1 out of 10 women are smokers, that still adds up to an estimated 200 million women around the world.Moreover, that number could grow, since the tobacco industry is spending heavily on advertisements that target women and associate tobacco use with beauty and liberation.虽然只有不到十分之一的女性吸烟,但这仍使全世界女烟民人数近达两亿。而且,由于烟草企业花巨资制作针对女性的广告,将烟草与美丽和妇女解 放挂钩,这一数字还有可能增长。
According to a recent study by the World Health Organization(WHO), the number of girls and boys who smoked was about equal in half the 151 countries surveyed.This finding is even more worrisome since young people who smoke are likely to continue in adulthood.世界卫生组织近期对151个国家的调查显示,有一半国家,男孩和女孩的吸烟人数不相上下。由于青少年在成年后很可能继续吸烟,这一结果越发 令人担忧。
Evidence indicates that the prevalence rate of tobacco use among women is on the rise in some countries.Governments everywhere must take action to protect women from tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, as stipulated in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.有证据表明,一些国家妇女烟草使用率在上升。各国政府必须采取行动,根据《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》的规定,保护妇女远离烟草广告、促销和赞助活动。
The Convention also calls on Governments to protect women from second-hand tobacco smoke — especially in countries where women feel powerless to protect themselves and their children.As WHO data show, of the 430,000 adults who die each year from second-hand smoke, nearly two thirds are women.这项公约还呼吁各国政府保护妇女远离二手烟雾,在妇女感觉无力保护自己和子女的国家尤应如此。世界卫生组织的数据显示,在每年因二手烟雾死 亡的60万人当中,近三分之二为妇女。
Around the world, more than 1.5 million women die each year from tobacco use.Most of these deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries.Without concerted action, that number could rise to 2.5 million women by the year 2030.在世界各地,每年有超过150万妇女死于烟草使用。其中大多数死亡发生在低收入和中等收入国家。如果不采取协调一致的行动,到2030年,这一数字将可能达到250万。
We must turn back the global tobacco epidemic.On World No Tobacco Day, I urge all Governments to address this public health threat.Tobacco use is not stylish or empowering.It is ugly and deadly.我们必须遏制全球烟草流行。值此世界无烟日之际,我敦促各国政府设法应对这一公共健康威胁。使用烟草既不时尚也不强身。使用烟草是一种致人 于死命的陋习。

世界无烟日致辞
May 20162016年5月31日
Cigarettes and other tobacco products kill almost 6 million people every year.Sustainable Development Goal 3 aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”.As part of that approach, Governments have committed to strengthen the implementation of the World Health Organization(WHO)Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in all countries to reduce the proportion of people who use tobacco.香烟和其他烟草产品每年导致近600万人死亡。可持续发展目标3力求“让不同年龄段的所有人都过上健康生活,促进其福祉”。作为实现该目标的一项措施,各国政府已承诺在所有国家加强对《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》的执行力度,减少烟草使用者占总人口的比例。
On World No Tobacco Day 2016, the United Nations is lending its support to one simple measure with proven effectiveness in reducing demand: the plain packaging of tobacco products.As laid out in the United Nations tobacco control treaty, this entails restricting or prohibiting the use of logos, colours, brand images or any promotional information other than brand and product names displayed in a standard colour and font.2016年世界无烟日,联合国正在支持一种已证明能有效减少烟草需求的简单措施,即烟草产品平装化。如联合国烟草控制公约所述,此举包括限制或禁止使用标识、颜色、品牌形象或任何其他有宣传作用的信息,而仅以标准颜色和字体显示品牌和品名。
Tobacco use is one of the largest causes of preventable non-communicable diseases, including cancers, heart and lung disease.It also diverts valuable household income.Plain packaging reduces the attractiveness of tobacco products, restricts tobacco advertising and promotion, limits misleading labeling, and increases the effectiveness of health warnings.吸烟是导致癌症、心脏病、肺病等可预防非传染性疾病的罪魁祸首之一,也占用了宝贵的家庭收入。平装化能减弱烟草产品的吸引力,限制烟草广告和推销,限制误导性标签,并能增强健康警告的效果。
On this World No Tobacco Day, I call on Governments around the world to get ready for plain packaging.值此世界无烟日,我呼吁世界各国政府为烟草产品平装化作好准备.

联合国秘书长潘基文2011年世界无烟日致2011年5月31日
This year’s observance of World No Tobacco Day falls in the midst of preparations for September’s United Nations high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases.By controlling tobacco, we can go a long way towards addressing many of these chronicailments, including cancer and heart disease.今年世界无烟日活动适逢为九月份联合国非传染性疾病问题高级别会议开展筹备工作期间。通过控制烟草,我们可以在防治许多这些慢性病方面取得长足的进步,其中包括癌症和心脏病。
The use of tobacco, which is highly addictive, killed approximately 100 million people in the twentieth century, and unless we act, it could kill up to a billion in this century.烟草很容易使人上瘾,烟草的使用在二十世纪导致了约一亿人死亡。如果我们不采取行动,它在本世纪可能造成多达十亿人丧生。
The greatest tool in our arsenal is the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.Since it was opened for signature in 2003, more than 170 countries have become parties, making it one of the most rapidly embraced treaties in United Nations history.我们现可运用的最好工具是世界卫生组织《烟草控制框架公约》。该公约自2003年开放供签署以来,已有170多个国家成为缔约国,使之成为联合国历史上获得最迅速接受的条约之一。
From reducing demand through higher prices and taxes to restricting advertising and sponsorship, from warnings on packages to prohibitions against sales to minors, countries are using the Treaty’s provisions to protect their citizens.They are sending a clear message that tobacco use makes us poorer — in health and economic terms.各国正在使用该公约的条款保护其公民,包括通过提高价格和税收降低需求,限制广告和赞助,要求在包装上印出警告,禁止向未成年人进行销售,等等。这些国家正在发出一个明确的信息,即烟草的使用会令我们越来越糟糕——在健康和经济方面都是如此。
The Treaty’s comprehensive defence against industry tactics includes measures to reduce the illicit trade in tobacco products, address issues of liability, support economically viable alternative crops and protect public health policies from undue pressure.该条约对烟草行业策略的全面防御包括规定措施,以减少烟草制品的非法贸易、解决赔偿责任问题、支持经济上可行的替代作物和保护公共卫生政策免遭不当压力。
The Framework Convention is clearly working to safeguard health in all countries that have adopted and enforced it.Yet, as the reports from States parties show, we have a long way to go.I urge all parties to fully meet their obligations under the Treaty, and I call on the few countries that have not yet become parties to do so.Together, we can halt the tobacco epidemic and the many problems it brings.在所有已通过和执行了框架公约的国家中,该公约显然正在发挥保障健康的作用。然而,正如一些缔约国报告所显示的那样,我们还有很长的路要走。我敦促所有缔约方充分履行条约所规定的义务,我也呼吁无数不多的尚未成为缔约方的国家成为缔约方。我们齐心合力,就可以制止烟草的流行及其带来的诸多问题。
On this World No Tobacco Day, let us push for progress that will cut tobacco-related deaths and enliven the battle against other non-communicable diseases, helping to create a healthier world for all.值此世界无烟日,让我们推动进步以减少与烟草有关的死亡和加强防治其他非传染性疾病的斗争,帮助创造一个让所有人都更加健康的世界。

年月日抗生素和其他抗菌药物的发现促成人类健康的一些最令人瞩目的进展。在年代这些药物问世之前,各种传染病每年都夺去数千万人的生命。这些药物帮助减轻传染病的负担。初期成果主要出现在收入较高的国家,也出现在贫穷国家境内比较富裕的人群之中。但过去二十年来,新的公共卫生战略和筹资机制使较贫穷社区也能获得防治主要致命疾病的药物,这些疾病包括结核病、艾滋病毒、疟疾、肺炎和腹泻病。人类和动物用药的私营销售量也已显著扩增。这些成果影响深远,但随着抗药性微生物的出现,我们现正面临失去许多这些珍贵药物的危险。抗菌药抗药性是一种自然现象,但药物的广泛使用、过度使用和滥用以及在保健和农业方面各种抗药性传染病的蔓延加剧这种现象。贸易、旅行和迁徙正增加这些微生物跨越社区和国界的传播。––有些曾挽救过我们父母和祖父母生命的药物今天已无法使用。抗药性造成卫生系统的巨大成本,正在造成越来越多的、不必要的生命损失,可能抵消我们在卫生有关的千年发展目标方面所取得的许多进展。这种情况还可能破坏用于防治非传染性疾病的其他现代药物和技术所取得的成果。最令人担心的情况也许是:研制新型抗菌药以取代已失去的药物的管道几乎已经枯竭。世界卫生组织选择了“战胜抗菌药抗药性:今天不行动,明天无救药”作为今年世界卫生日的主题。抗菌药抗药性的出现是一个复杂的问题,涉及到方方面面的利益攸关方,迫切需要在各国国内和各国之间通过跨部门的综合应对措施积极予以解决。今天,世卫组织呼吁大家采取行动,通过以下六点政策总纲加强问责制并遏止抗药性的蔓延:共同规划;监测;药物监管;合理用药;预防和控制传染;创新和研究。各国政府、企业界和所有利益攸关方都必须响应这个号召。全球的健康和无数的生命正面临威胁。

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Message on World Statistics DayOctober, 2010
联合国秘书长潘基文2010世界统计日致辞
2010年10月20日
Today marks the first observance of World Statistics Day, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the importance of statistics in shaping our societies.我们在今天首次纪念世界统计日,联合国大会宣布这个纪念日,是为了确认统计对社会的重要影响。
Statistics permeate modern life.They are the basis for many governmental, business and community decisions.They provide information and insight about the trends and forces that affect our lives.Collected in surveys and censuses – three billion people will participate in population and housing censuses this year alone – statistics affect the planning of schools, hospitals, roads and much else.现代生活处处离不开统计。许多政府、商业和社区决策是以统计为依据。统计提供了信息和深入知识,以供了解影响我们生活的趋势和动因。仅今年一年,就将有30亿人参加人口和住房普查,在各种调查和普查中收集的统计数字影响着建设学校、医院、公路和许多其他设施的规划。
Statistics are a vital tool for economic and social development, including our efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.For development to succeed, we need data collection and statistical analysis of poverty levels, access to education and the incidence of disease.Statistics are a central consideration in justifying almost every aspect of budgets and programmes that enable hungry children to be fed or that provide shelter and emergency health care for victims of natural disasters.统计是极其重要的经济和社会发展工具,对于实现千年发展目标来说也是如此。为了实现成功发展,我们需要收集数据和进行统计分析,以了解贫穷程度、受教育机会和疾病发生率。在说明为什么需要拟订预算和方案,以便能够向饥饿儿童提供食物,或向自然灾害受害者提供住所和紧急医疗时,几乎每个方面的理由都把统计数字列为核心考虑因素。
The United Nations Statistical Commission, established in 1947, has created international methodological standards and guidelines in virtually every area of statistics.It has played a key role in helping governments strengthen their statistical reporting, making data more available and comparable across countries and regions than ever before.1947年成立的联合国统计委员会为几乎每一个统计领域都制定了国际标准方法和准则。该委员会在帮助各国政府加强本国统计报告,并使数据比以往更易于获得、在国家和区域之间具有更大可比性方面发挥着关键作用。
I commend the dedication that many statistical experts bring to their reports and publications.They carry out an essential public service--one that promotes peace and democracy by giving citizens reliable and impartial public information about their communities.Their core values--service, integrity and professionalism--deserve full support in all nations.我赞扬许多统计专家为编制报告和出版物做出的奉献。他们提供了一项不可或缺的公益服务,这一服务通过向公民们提供关于其社会的可靠和公允的信息,促进了和平与民主。所有国家都应该充分支持他们的核心价值观,即服务、正直和敬业。
However, as in so many other areas, developing countries often find themselves at a disadvantage, lacking funds to pay salaries, train staff and collect data.On this first World Statistics Day I encourage the international community to work with the United Nations to enable all countries to meet their statistical needs.Let us all acknowledge the crucial role of statistics in fulfilling our global mission of development and peace.然而,与许多其他领域一样,发展中国家经常在统计领域处于不利地位,缺乏支付薪金、培训工作人员和收集数据的资金。值此首次纪念世界统计日之际,我鼓励国际社会与联合国一道努力,使所有国家都能满足本国的统计需要。让我们共同确认,为履行我们关于发展与和平的全球使命,统计发挥的作用至为关键。
