“纳尔逊曼德拉国际日”名人英语演讲稿

　　On Nelson Mandela International Day, I join women and men across the world in honouring a man whose strength, vision and magnanimity changed South Africa and the course of the 20th century.

　　值此“纳尔逊-曼德拉国际日”，我和全世界各地的人们一起向这位以自己的力量、理想和博大胸怀改变了南非和二十世纪进程的伟人致以崇高的敬意。

　　A UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador since 2005, Nelson Mandela once said that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

　　自2005年以来一直担任教科文组织亲善大使的曼德拉先生曾经说过：“教育是可以用来改变世界的最强有力的武器。”

　　The life of Nelson Mandela is an education to us all – an example of perseverance in overcoming adversity, of courage in braving the steepest challenges, of moral clarity in promoting reconciliation and peace.

　　纳尔逊-曼德拉的一生对我们所有人都具有教育意义——他是一位不屈不饶战胜逆境的楷模，勇敢地面对最严峻的挑战，并立场鲜明地推动和解与和平。

　　Nelson Mandela has taught the world that the dignity of women and men is the only foundation on which to build just societies. He has shown us that peace is not an ideal, or something abstract, but a way of living, a way of interacting with others and with the world.

　　纳尔逊-曼德拉告诫世人，维护每个人的尊严是建设公正社会的唯一基础。他还告诉世人，和平不仅仅是理想，也不是抽象的概念，和平是一种生活方式，一种与他人和世界交流与互动的方式。

　　On this day, let us pay tribute to Nelson Mandela by upholding and sharing the values that inspire him. In a world where all societies are transforming and every woman and man faces rising pressures, let us all stay true to the moral compass set by Nelson Mandela. Respect, mutual understanding and reconciliation are the strongest foundations for peace and freedom. In this spirit, we must help others, we must reach across all dividing lines, and we must cherish the world we live in. This is UNESCO’s message today.

　　今天，当我们向纳尔逊•曼德拉致敬的`时候，我们要共同坚持曾激励过他的价值观。当今世界所有社会都在改革，所有人都面临着不断加重的压力，让我们所有人坚定地遵循纳尔逊•曼德拉确立的道德方向。尊重、相互理解与和解是和平与自由的最坚实基础。本着这一精神，我们需要帮助他人，我们必须跨越一切隔阂，珍爱我们共同生活的世界。这就是教科文组织今天要传递的讯息。
