CNN News:聯(lián)合國大會在紐約召開 會議議題廣泛

Hi. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS. And the first official day of fall. Today, is the autumnal equinox when day is almost exactly as long night. It`s also at leaders from all over the worlds, they are meeting at the United Nations headquarters in New York. Five things to know about this.

大家好我是Carl Azuz，歡迎收看CNN學生新聞，這是第一個秋季官方日子，今天是秋分，是一年中白天也夜晚一樣長的一天。世界上來自各國的領導正在聚集在聯(lián)合國駐扎在紐約的辦事處舉行會議，關于此次會議有五點需要知道的事情。

One, it`s called the U.N. General Assembly. It started in 1946 with 51 countries represented. Today, there are 193. Two, the General Assembly is one of six branches of the United Nations. It`s the only branch that offers all member countries the chance to vote on various issues.

第一，此次會議被稱為聯(lián)合國大會，在1946年開始舉行，有51個國家參加。到今天已經(jīng)有193個國家參與此會議。二，聯(lián)合國大會是聯(lián)合國六個分支中的一支。這是唯一一個為所有成員國就各種重大問題投票的機構(gòu)。

Three, regardless of those votes or agreements or resolutions, though, the General Assembly has no power to enforce them. That brings up four. The event is like a giant international sounding board. There are many speeches, but usually little action.

三，不管這些投票或者協(xié)議，或者決議也好，大會沒有權(quán)利執(zhí)行。下面就是第四點，整個事件就好像是一個國際型董事會，有很多發(fā)言和演講，但是不會采取行動。

Five, a wide range of subjects can be discussed including climate change. Tens of thousands marched in New York City this week to draw attention to the issue. A U.N. summit on climate change is set for tonight. But it`s not the only issue before the U.N. General Assembly.

五，討論話題包括很多方面，包括氣候問題。本周數(shù)萬人在紐約舉行游行呼吁解決氣候問題。聯(lián)合國峰會關于氣候問題的決定今晚將作出決定。但是這不是聯(lián)合國大會需要解決的為唯一問題。

Inside this General Assembly hall where the nations of the world, they are supposed to get together in harmony, people have issues. Beef with other countries and capitals.

在舉行大會的大廳里聚集著來自世界各地的國家代表，共同聚集到一起共同探討解決世界正面臨的問題。

The United States will have beef with Russia over Ukraine, the United States will have beef with Syria, which is here over the terrible violence that`s gone on there for years. And oftentimes, it will have beef with either Palestinians or Israel, whichever side they feel is not complying with the Washington`s wishes.

聯(lián)合國將會就烏克蘭問題與俄羅斯進行討論，美國將會就敘利亞多年的暴力沖突問題與敘利亞進行討論。其他時間將會與巴勒斯坦或者以色列共同探討問題解決華盛頓所擔憂的問題。

This will not come as a surprise. There will not be a Middle East peace agreement signed at this year`s General Assembly session. However, Israel and the Palestinians will definitely verbally duke it out. Gaza, the big battle for Gaza really inflamed the situation. There were no current peace talks. Right now I`d say the big dispute is Ukraine, Russia. It doesn`t seem to end despite whatever progress is made. I think you will see denunciations of Moscow from various Baltic nations and the West, and unless the situation drastically improves, I think that`s what you are going to find as the major contest here.

這并不吃驚。中東和平協(xié)議不太可能在今年聯(lián)合國大會上簽訂，然而以色列和巴勒斯坦將會就此展開激烈討論。加沙，關于加沙的戰(zhàn)爭沖突是現(xiàn)在解決的要點，目前沒有和平談判舉行，現(xiàn)在我想說的是，棘手的問題仍然是烏克蘭和俄羅斯。無論取得什么樣的進展雙方的爭論似乎并沒有停止。我認為，你會看到莫斯科被波羅的海國家和西方國家嚴重譴責，除非雙方爭論加劇，我想你會看到一場盛大的辯論賽。

It`s very rare for health issues, such as Ebola to dominate the headlines at the United Nations General Assembly. There is real fear of its spreading. Western African leaders are going to be here. There is no doubt, Ebola will be part of their remarks and will probably feature calls for help and global assistance to help fight the spread.

在聯(lián)合國大會上討論衛(wèi)生問題很少見，例如今年的大會被埃博拉疫情占據(jù)了頭條。目前最令人害怕的是疫情的傳播，西非領導人正在前往這里，毫無疑問，埃博拉將會是他們討論的主要話題，可能會向全國尋求幫助來共同控制疫情的傳播。

Hillary Clinton I believe once said that one week of General Assembly can take one year off your life. It can be exhausting, many diplomats told me that appearing at the General Assembly for a world leader is like diplomatic speed dating. You`ve got five minutes with this president, two minutes with this foreign minister. Presumably they`ll all come with schedule and an agenda and a goal of what they want to do, but it`s real hurley-burley of diplomatic activity.

希拉里克林頓曾說開一周的聯(lián)合國大會需要休息一年。大會會讓你筋疲力盡，許多外交官都告訴我參加聯(lián)合國大會的國家領導人都像是參加外交速配，與這個總統(tǒng)有五分總討論時間，與另一位外交官有兩分鐘時間。他們每個人都會有詳細的計劃議程和明確的目標，但是這確實是非常令人疲憊的外交活動。
