Today, we honour the more than one million women and men who have served as United Nations peacekeepers since 1948.
今天，我們向1948年以來擔任過聯合國維持和平人員的百萬余名男女表示敬意。
We pay tribute to the nearly 4,200 heroes and heroines who sacrificed their lives in the cause of peace.
我們緬懷在和平事業(yè)中獻出生命的近4200名男女英雄。
And we are reminded of an age-old truth: peace can never be taken for granted.
我們重溫一個古老的真理：對和平絕不可想當然。
Peace is the prize.
和平是贏來的成果。
We are deeply grateful to the 87,000 civilian, police and military personnel now serving under the UN flag who are helping to realize the prize of peace worldwide.
我們深深感謝目前在聯合國旗幟下服務的87000名文職人員、警察和軍事人員，他們在幫助全世界實現和平這一成果。
They face enormous challenges. Rising violence against peacekeepers has made their work even more dangerous. Restrictions due to the pandemic have made it more difficult. But United Nations peacekeepers continue to serve with distinction as partners for peace.
他們面臨著巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。針對維和人員的暴力行為不斷增多，使他們的工作更加危險。大流行病疫情帶來種種限制，使他們的工作更加艱難。但是，聯合國維和人員作為和平伙伴一如既往地表現出色。
This year, we focus on the Power of Partnerships.
今年，我們著重弘揚伙伴關系的力量。
We know that peace is won when governments and societies join forces to resolve differences through dialogue, build a culture of nonviolence, and protect the most vulnerable.
我們深知，當各國政府和各個社會攜手合作，力求通過對話解決分歧、建立非暴力文化并保護最脆弱人群時，方為贏得和平之時。
Around the globe, UN peacekeepers work with Member States, civil society, humanitarians, the media, the communities they serve and many others, to foster peace, protect civilians, promote human rights and the rule of law and improve the lives of millions of people.
在全球各地，聯合國維和人員與會員國、民間社會、人道主義者、媒體、他們所服務的社區(qū)以及許多其他方面合作，推動和平，保護平民，促進人權和法治，并改善千千萬萬人民的生活。
Today and every day, we salute their dedication in helping societies turn away from conflict, towards a more peaceful and prosperous future for all.
今天和每一天，我們都贊頌他們無私奉獻，幫助各個社會擺脫沖突，為所有人爭取一個更和平、更繁榮的未來。
We are forever in their debt.
我們永遠感激他們。
