It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the United Nations General Assembly’s Second Annual High-level Forum on the Culture of Peace.
I feel humbled that my spiritual leader， His Holiness Patriarch Irinej of Serbia， has accepted the invitation to deliver a missive of peace to this distinguished House.

Your Holiness， allow me to wish you mnogaja ljeta. We look forward to hearing your remarks.
很荣幸在联合国大会第二届年度“和平文化高级别论坛”上致欢迎词。
我的精神领袖——塞尔维亚牧首爱任纽接受邀请，将向各位嘉宾致辞，这令我十分感激。他用智慧管理着圣萨瓦王位，确保我们的教会在这个艰难的时期可以作为我们身份的守护人。陛下，请允许我送上最诚挚的祝福。我们期待着聆听你的演讲。
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the other two keynote speakers for this morning： Dr. Sayyid Syeed， the National Director of the Office of Interfaith and Community Alliances of the Islamic Society of North America， and Dr. Elie Abadie， the founding rabbi of the Edmond J. Safra Synagogure-whose message has been pre-recorded， on account of Jewish new year celebrations.
Let me also acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Deputy-Secretary-General， His Excellency Mr. Jan Eliasson. As Ban Ki-moon’s second –in –command， he has actively participated in the UN’s various peace-building programs. We are truly indebted to him for this and other contributions to the international community.
我要对今天上午的另外两名主旨演讲人表达深深的谢意：北美伊斯兰协会跨信仰及社区联盟全国主管萨义德·西德和埃德蒙·沙弗拉犹太教堂的创始人拉比埃利·阿巴迪。由于犹太历的新年庆典，他们的演讲是提前录制好的。
我还要感谢副秘书长埃里亚松的辛勤工作和奉献。作为潘基文的副手，他积极参与了联合国的众多构建和平的项目。我要感谢他的上述行动以及他对国际社会所做的其他贡献。
I am grateful to the People’s Republic of Bangladesh for its leading role in promoting this initiative from its inception. At today’s event， they are represented by two members of Cabinet： my good old friend， Her Excellency Ms. Dipu Moni， and His Excellency Mr. Abul Kalam Azad-ministers of foreign and cultural affairs.
我还要感谢孟加拉国自始至终在促进这项行动时扮演的领导角色。在今天的活动中，有两位孟加拉的内阁成员出席：我的老朋友穆妮（Dipu Moni）女士和阿布·卡拉姆·阿扎德（Abul Kalam Azad）先生——两人分别是孟加拉外交部长和文化部长。
Excellencies，
各位阁下，
Maintaining international peace and security is the first stated purpose of the United Nations. It is enshrined in this Organization’s Charter， written in the wake of humanity’s epic victory over fascism， by countries united in their determination to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”
维护国际和平和安全是联合国第一个明确表述的目标。在人类战胜法西斯、获得了史诗般的胜利之后，这个目标被各国写进《联合国宪章》，各国决心团结起来，让后代免受战争的苦难。 Together， they conceived a Grand Parliament of sovereign equal States， in the expectation that its litany of endeavors would lead mankind to turn its “swords into ploughshares.” Each nation was given a seat around the high table of peace， where dialogue was endowed with greater value than force， and concord granted preeminence over strife.
这些国家创立了一个由主权平等国家组成的宏大议会，期待这它的一系列行动会引导人类铸剑为犁。每个国家都在和平的谈判桌上获得了一个席位，在这里，对话的价值要大于武力，和谐的重要性高于仇恨。
In the decades that have followed， the blessings of amity were repeatedly put to the test by the strong pull of the resource to arms.
在随后的几十年，友好的祝福多次受到诉诸武力的冲动的考验。
For all the transgressions， however， the quest for peace at the United Nations did not recede， in the fervent hope that despite all setbacks， the grand aspirations expressed in the Charter by Organization’s founders would take hold in all corners of the world.
然而，联合国从来没有放弃对和平的追求，希望尽管遇到了种种挫折，联合国的创始人在《联合国宪章》中的崇高理想会在世界的所有角落扎根。
Excellencies，
各位阁下，
Fourteen years ago， the Program of Action on the Culture of Peace was adopted by consensus in the General Assembly， identifying eight specific areas of action at all levels-the individuals， the family， the community， the nation， and the world.
14年前，联合国大会达成共识，通过了和平文化宣言和行动纲领，明确了各层面的八个具体的行动领域，这些层面包括，个人、家庭、社区、国家和世界。
Member States rightly chose to put education first on the list， inspired in no small measure by what Mahatma Gandhi had enjoined three-quarters of a century ago， that “if we are to teach real peace in this world， and if we are to carry on a real war against war， we shall have to begin with the children.”
各成员国选择把教育放在首位，这很大程度上是受到甘地四分之三个世纪之前的话语的鼓舞，即，如果我们要在这个世界上教授真正的和平，如果我们要真正与战争作战，我们必须从儿童开始。
To effectively meet the challenges of the 21st century， I believe the generations to come should be instilled what the ethics of non-violence， and equipped with the right tools to flourish as adults-as future parents， responsible community leaders， and engaged citizens. We must impart them with the skills， dispositions， and knowledge they will need in order to make valiant contributions to their respective societies.
我认为，为了有效应对21世纪的挑战，应该向年轻一代灌输非暴力道德观念，并利用正确的工具使他们不断成长为未来的父母、有责任的社区领导者和具有参与意识的公民。
Excellencies，
各位阁下，
I think the importance of the power of faith to advance the culture of peace has often been understated.
我认为，信念在推动和平文化方面的重要性通常被低估了。
We have repeatedly failed to employ it against the falseness of those who misuse any holy scripture to advance nefarious ends. 我们很多次都没有利用它揭露那些滥用神圣的教义来达到邪恶目的的人们的虚伪面目。
I am convinced this is where benevolence religious leaders—by expounding on the core ethical tenets we hold in common---may make a decisive difference. By further reaching out to one another， on equal footing， they would put their considerable moral authority in the service of healing the wounds of centuries of conflicts between peoples of different faiths.
我相信仁慈的宗教领袖可以在这一领域产生决定性的影响，通过阐释我们普遍拥有的核心道德原则。通过接触更多周围的人，在平等的基础上，他们将用他们强大的道德权威来治愈不同信仰的人们几个世纪的冲突带来的伤疤。
The alternative is a stark one： to face， virtually defenseless， the escalating danger that the ills and grievances of bygone eras may continue to be reawakened. This threatens to engulf us in a maelstrom of unmatched ferocity.
另一种选择显而易见：毫无防备地面对不断上升的危险，及过去的年代的邪恶和冤屈可能会再次被唤醒。这可能会令我们被一波暴行的洪流吞没。
Excellences，
各位阁下，
We must aim to foster harmony amongst religious in the Age of Sustainable Development—a time of growing interdependence and multiplying challenges no country can hope to solve on its own.
我们必须在可持续发展的时代在宗教中构建和谐，这个时代的特点是日益增长的相互依存和多重挑战，没有一个国家有望独自解决这些挑战。
We are truly becoming a global community， one in which the solemn entreaty of the UN Charter—to “practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors”—has never been more pressing.
我们正在成为一个全球性社区，在这个社区中，联合国宪章的神圣呼吁，——践行包容、作为友好邻邦和平共存，从来没有像今天这样重要。
The complexity of the task brought forth last June in Rio De Janeiro at the historic UN Conference on Sustainable Development is unprecedented. For the first time ever， world leaders agreed to comprehensively integrate the three dimensions of the development—namely economic， social， and environmental—into a single， fully coherent sustainable development whole.
这个任务是去年六月在里约热内卢的具有历史意义的联合国可持续发展大会上提出的，任务的复杂性前所未有。世界领导人第一次同意全面整合发展的三个维度——经济、社会和环境——使之成为一个可持续的整体。
Over the next 900 days， the General Assembly will need to formulate and adopt the Sustainable Development Goals； design options for financing them； and establish workable arrangements for monitoring their implementation.
未来的900天，联合国大会将需要制定和通过可持续发展目标，设计目标的资金方案，为监督项目的执行情况建立可行的安排。
We must ready to begin a universal transition to sustainability by 2015. We cannot afford to delay the start of a process that， once， competed， will have fundamentally transformed the ways in which humanity conducts its affairs.
我们必须在2015年之前开始向可持续性全面过渡。我们无法承担拖延这一过程的后果，这个过程一旦完成，将会彻底地改变人类的行为方式。 Excellencies，
阁下，
Today， we are taking another small step towards overcoming strife and animus.
今天，我们向战胜冲突和仇恨又迈出了一小步。
The commitment many of us have to advancing the culture of peace is informed by the remonstrance of the Psalmist to “turn from evil and do good； seek peace and pursue it，”or by the injunction of the Qu`ran that “there is not for man[to do] except that good for which he strives.”
我们中许多人致力于推进和平文化，我们的知识来自于赞美诗的劝导：弃恶从善，寻找和平并奉行和平；以及《古兰经》的教义：除了为之奋斗的美德，人类没有什么值得去做。
Holy books remind us that in creating mankind， God did not intend for us to be endowed with certain gifts and particular qualities， he created us “in His image，”so that we may humbly endeavor to come ever close to Him—to become more ethical， more just， and more self-controlled， but also more mindful of the Eternal， the “one thing necessary.”
圣书提醒我们，在创造人类的时候，主没有打算让我们只有特定的天赋和品质。他用他的形象创造了我们，要求我们按照他的喜好变得完整，这样我们才可能会谦卑地盼望和他更亲近，变得更加有道德，更加公正，更加自律，但同时更加崇拜上帝。
The wholehearted embrace of the culture of peace would propel us forward， and help make still and tranquil the ways of the world.
全心全意地倡导平文化将推动我们向前发展，让世界的道路平静而安宁。
Excellencies，
各位阁下，
Amongst all the leaders and statesmen ever to walk through the doors of the United Nations， few have been quite like Dag Hammarskjold.
在联合国的大门走过的所有领导人和政治家中，几乎没有人非常像达格·哈马舍尔德那样。
I believe we may draw inspiration from the tempered words he once wrote， during his tenure as Secretary-General of the United Nations.
我相信，我们能从他在担任联合国秘书长期间写过的温馨的语句中获得灵感。
It is with them that I wish to conclude my remarks：
我希望用他的话结束我的演讲：
“our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us. To build for a man a world without fear， we must be without fear. To build a world of justice， we must be just. […] How can we ask others to sacrifice if we are not ready to do so？ […] Only in true surrender to the interest of all can we reach that strength and independence， that unity of purpose， that equity of judgment which are necessary if we are to measure up to our duty to the future， as men of a generation to whom the chance [is] given to build […] a world [culture] of peace.”
我们的和平工作必须从我们每一个人的个人世界开始，要建立一个没有恐惧的世界，我们必须无所畏惧。要建立一个公正的世界，我们必须充满正义。如果我们不准备牺牲，怎么能要求别人牺牲？只有真正的屈服于所有人的利益，我们才能获得力量和独立，统一的目标，和公正的判断。作为拥有机会建立和平文明的一代，如果我们要肩负起我们的职责，那么这些是必不可少的。
