Unit 2 Ceremonial Speeches （Passage 2）
By giving us this prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has given important support to the proposition that peace is inextricably linked to poverty. Poverty is a threat to peace. The world's income distribution gives a very telling story.
通过将这个奖颁给我们,挪威诺贝尔委员会极大地支持了和平与贫困息息相关的观点。

贫困是对和平的威胁!世界各地的收入分配很能说明问题。

Peace should be understood in a human way——in a broad social, political and economic way. Peace is threatened by unjust economic, social and political order, absence of democracy, environmental degradation and absence of human rights.
我们应该以人性的观点来看待和平——从广泛的社会、政治和经济角度来看待和平。

不公正的经济、社会和政治秩序、民主的缺失、环境的恶化以及人权的缺乏都会威胁到和平。

Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. For building stable peace we must find ways to provide opportunities for people to live decent lives.
贫困就是对一切人权的否定。

在任何社会赤贫所带来的沮丧、敌意和愤怒都无法维系和平。

要建立稳定的和平,我们必须找到办法,给人们提供可以过上体面生活的机会。

In 1974, I found it difficult to teach elegant theories of economics in the university classroom, in the backdrop of a terrible famine in Bangladesh. Suddenly, I felt the emptiness of those theories in the face of crushing hunger and poverty.
1974年,我发现在孟加拉国严重饥荒的背景下,很难再在大学教室里教授那些华而不实的经济学理论了。

突然之间,我感到在极度的饥饿和贫困面前这些理论是多么的空洞!
Grameen Bank gives collateral-free income generating, housing, student and micro-enterprise loans to the poor families and offers a host of attractive savings, pension funds and insurance products for its members.
乡村银行向贫困家庭提供无需抵押并有增值空间的住房、助学和小型企业贷款,并为这些家庭的成员提供一系列优惠的储蓄、养老基金以及保险产品。

(outstanding loan未偿还贷款)
Poverty is created because we built our theoretical framework on assumptions which under-estimates human capacity, by designing concepts, which are too narrow such as concept of business, credit- worthiness,entrepreneurship, employment or developing institutions, which remain half-done such as financial institutions, where poor are left out. Poverty is caused by the failure at the conceptual level, rather than any lack of capability on the part of people.贫穷的起源是因为我们建立的理论框架是基于低估人类能力的假设之上,因为我们设计的概念是如此的狭隘,比如商业、信用、企业家素质以及就业等狭隘的概念,因为我们开发的体制都不完整,比如金融体制就将穷人摒弃其外。

贫困的根源是概念层面的失败,而不是由于人们能力的缺乏。

A human being is born into this world fully equipped not only to take care of him or herself, but also to contribute to enlarging the well-being of the world as a whole. Some get the chance to explore their potential to some degree, but many others never get any opportunity, during their lifetime, to unwrap the wonderful gift they were born with. They die unexplored and the world remains deprived of their creativity, and their contribution.当一个人来到这个世界的时候,他/她不仅已经拥有了照顾自己的能力,而且还能为扩大整个世界的福祉做出贡献。

一些人有机会在某种程度上发挥了潜力,但是许多人终其一生都没有得到展现其天赋才能的机会。

当他们去世的时候,他们与生俱来的才能并未得到发挥, 这个世界也没有因他们的创造力和贡献而获益。

Dear colleagues and friends, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of diplomatic ties between People’s Republic of China and African countries. Though vast oceans keep China and Africa far apart, the friendship between our peoples has a long history and, having been tested by times, is strong and vigorous. In the long course of history, the Chinese and African peoples, with an unyielding and tenacious spirit, created splendid and distinctive ancient civilizations. In the modern era, our peoples launched unremitting and heroic struggle against subjugation, and have written a glorious chapter in the course of pursuing freedom and liberation, upholding human dignity, and striving for economic development and national rejuvenation. The progress and development of China and Africa are a major contribution to the advancement of human civilization.
中非在国际事务中相互信任、协调配合，共同维护发展中国家的正当权益。

In international affairs, China and Africa enjoy trust and cooperate closely to uphold the legitimate rights and interests of the developing world.
今天，中非友好已深深扎根在双方人民心中。

中非友好之所以能够经受住历史岁月和国际风云变幻的考验，关键是我们在发展相互关系中始终坚持真诚友好、平等相待、相互支持、共同发展的正确原则。

Today, China-Africa friendship is deeply rooted in the hearts of our two peoples, and our friendship has endured the test of time and changes in the world. This is because we have never strayed from the principles of enhancing friendship, treating each other as equals, extending mutual support and promoting common development in building our ties.

committed to enhancing it.

我们双方都尊重对方自主选择的发展道路，高度重视对方的关切，认真学习对方的发展经验。

Treating each other as equals is crucial for ensuring mutual trust. We both respect the development path independently embarked upon by the other side. We both are serious in addressing each other’s concerns and are eager to benefit from each other’s practice in development.
相互支持，是中非合作长盛不衰的不竭动力。

我们双方都衷心希望并真心支持对方发展进步，积极开展全方位合作。

Common development is the shared aspiration of the Chinese and African peoples. We are committed to pursuing mutually beneficial cooperation to bring the benefits of development to our peoples.
当前，国际形势正在发生深刻而复杂的变化。

和平、发展、合作是当今时代的主旋律。

世界多极化和经济全球化的趋势深入发展，科技进步日新月异，区域合作方兴未艾，各国相互依存不断加深，这些都为世界各国带来了难得的发展机遇。

同时，全球发展不均衡，南北差距拉大，传统安全威胁和非传统安全威胁相互交织，影响世界和平与发展的不稳定不确定因素增多，广大发展中国家实现可持续发展面临着严峻挑战。

The world today is undergoing profound and complex changes. But peace, development and cooperation remain the calling of the times. There is a growing trend towards multipolarity and economic globalization. Science and technology are making daily advance, regional cooperation is deepening and there is increasing interdependence among nations. All these have created rare development opportunities for the international community. On the
other hand, imbalance in global development, widening gap between North and South, the combination of traditional and non-traditional security threats as well as increasing factors of instability and uncertainty standing in the way of peace and development all pose a daunting challenge to developing countries in their pursuit of sustainable development.
在新形势下，中非共同利益在扩大，相互需求在增加。

建立中非新型战略伙伴关系是中非合作的内在需要，也是促进世界和平与发展的必然要求。

中非关系不断发展，不仅有利于中国和非洲的发展进步，而且有利于促进发展中国家的团结合作，有利于推动建立公正合理的国际政治经济新秩序。

为进一步发展中非新型战略伙伴关系，中国愿同非洲国家在以下领域加强合作。

In this new era, China and Africa share increasing common interests and have a growing mutual need. The forging of a new type of China-Africa strategic partnership is determined by the dynamics of China-Africa cooperation, and it represents our wish to promote global peace and development.
