Secretary-General’s Message for UN Day

联合国日致辞

New Y ork, 24 October 2011

2011年10月24日

Days from now, the human family will welcome its seven billionth member.

再过几天，人类大家庭将迎来第70亿个成员。

Some say our planet is too crowded. I say we are seven billion strong.

有人说，我们这个星球过于拥挤。我说，我们因有70亿之众而强大。

The world has made remarkable progress since the United Nations was born 66 years ago today.

自联合国于66年前的今天诞生以来，世界取得了长足的进步。

We are living longer. More of our children survive. More and more of us live at peace, under democratic rule of law.

我们活得更长，我们的婴儿存活率提高了，我们有越来越多的人生活在和平、民主与法治之中。

As we have seen in this dramatic year, people everywhere are standing up for their rights and human freedoms.

正如我们在这个惊心动魄的一年中所看到的，世界各地的人们都在起来争取他们的权利和人的自由。

And yet, all this progress is under threat. From economic crisis. Rising joblessness and inequality. Climate change.

但是，这一切进展都面临着威胁。威胁来自经济危机，来自失业率上升和不平等，来自气候变化。

Around the world, too many people live in fear. Too many people believe their governments and the global economy can no longer deliver for them.

在世界各地，有太多人生活在恐惧之中。太多的人认为，他们的政府不再能为他们谋福利，全球经济也不再能给他们带来机会。

In these turbulent times, there is only one answer: unity of purpose.

在这动荡的时刻，答案只有一个：统一目标。

Global problems demand global solutions.

全球问题需要全球性的解决方案。

They compel all nations to unite in action on an agenda for the world's people.

这些问题迫使所有国家采取联合行动，共同推动造福于世界人民的议程。

That is the very mission of the United Nations:

这正是联合国的使命所在：

Five easy way to boost your energy at work.

五个增加工作活力的简单方法

We all have those days when all we want is to crawl back in bed for a few more hours. Unfortunately, few of us have that luxury. The following hints may help you stay energized, or at least get you going until you can make the time for rest.

我们都有过什么也不想，只想好好地在床上多呆几个小时的日子。不幸的是，很少人可以享受这份奢侈。下面几点提示或者可以帮你保持精力充沛，至少可以让你在找到时间休息之前继续下去。

1. Engage in a quick conversation with a high-energy colleague. Their positive energy may refresh you. (Just be careful not to drag them down!)

与精力充沛的同事进行短暂的交谈。他们积极的干劲会让你精神爽快。（只是要小心不要也把他们拖下水）

2. Snack more! Having a healthy snack on hand, like fruit can help your blood sugar levels and may provide a healthy boost of energy. (Overeating will do the opposite and drag you down!) Moderation is key!

多吃东西。健康的食品如水果可以帮助你提高血液里血糖含量，为你提供健康的能量。（吃得过度会得到相反效果并让你精力下降），关键是适度。

3. Exercise. If you know that your schedule does not allow for a visit to the gym today, find a way

to move around during your day. Instead of sending an email to your coworker, walk to her desk. It may be a good idea to take the stairs today, even though you're tired. But try to visit the gym tomorrow. People who exercise get more restful sleep and often feel more energized than those who don't.

运动。如果你知道你的行程安排不允许你到健身室做运动，那想办法让你自己在一天里多动。与其是发电子邮件给你的同事，不如走到她的办公桌前。尽管你很累，但今天走走楼梯也是一个挺好的主意。但是尽量明天去健身室做做运动，经常做运动的人会比那些不常做的得到更多休息睡眠，而且感觉更有精力。

4. Drink water. "Hydration is critical," says Steven Masley, a medical director in Florida. "If you don't hydrate, you're going to feel tired." The majority of your body is made of water; even a slight deficiency can rob you of your “oomph”!

喝水。“水是关键”，佛罗里达洲一个医学主任Steven Masley说，“如果你不喝水，你会感到疲劳”。你大部份的身体是由水分构成;甚至一点点的缺水都会让你精力溜走。

5. Plan a vacation or a staycation. Whether you leave town for a day or a week, having something fun to look forward to will excite you and stimulate energy. Plus, if you're reading this, you could probably use a break from your day-to-day routine.

计划一次度假或在家休息。不管你是离家一天或者是一个星期，追求有趣的东西会让你兴奋并积累能量。还有，如果你正在看这篇文章，你很可能在你一天复一天的工作中得到休息。
