zh-cn	纽约市长白思豪今天代表该市接收了由联合国捐赠的25万只口罩，这批口罩将分发给在纽约市各家医院抗击新冠疫情的医务工作者。

zh-cn	联合国秘书长古特雷斯今天发表声明表示，这批口罩是联合国储备的一部分，此前存放在联合国设施内。在充分评估联合国当前的防疫需求后，决定将这部分多余的口罩捐赠给纽约市。

en-us	The UN chief praised medical professionals in New York City who, he said, have been working “courageously, selflessly, and tirelessly in response to the spread of COVID-19 across the boroughs,” in a reference to the five boroughs into which the City is administratively divided (Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island).
zh-cn	古特雷斯赞扬纽约市的医务工作者，“勇敢、无私、不知疲倦地奋战在全市各地区抗击新冠疫情的行动中”。纽约市共包括曼哈顿、皇后区、布朗克斯、布鲁克林和史坦顿岛五个地区。

en-us	Mr. Guterres went on to express his hope that the protective equipment will “play some small role in saving lives”.
zh-cn	古特雷斯希望这批防护用品“能在挽救生命的过程中发挥一些小小的作用”。

zh-cn	纽约市长白思豪则在27日表示，纽约市需要大约1万5000台呼吸机用于治疗患者。

en-us	Noting that the UN speaks “with one voice to express our resolute support for this great city and its proud people”, the Secretary-General expressed his hope that the “modest donation” of face masks will makes a difference.  
zh-cn	古特雷斯在声明中表示，纽约“不仅是我们的家，不仅是联合国总部的所在地，更是一个充满活力的国际大都市，来自世界各地的不同社区在这里沟通讨论、贸易往来、共享繁荣。”

en-us	New York, declared Mr. Guterres is “not just our home or the headquarters of the United Nations.  It is a vibrant international capital through which the world communicates, debates, trades, and prospers”.
zh-cn	古特雷斯表示，联合国上下一心，“向纽约这座伟大的城市和她引以为傲的广大市民表示坚定的支持”，希望这批物资捐赠能为抗疫略尽绵薄之力。
