zh-cn	事实上，截至目前，全世界九成国家已经全部或部分关闭了它们的教科文组织世界遗产地，128国已经关闭了它们的文化机构。

en-us	In addition to these closures, traditional festivals and a wide array of other events have been cancelled, impacting the cultural life of communities and the income of creative professionals, whose work is often seasonal.
zh-cn	除此之外，传统节日和许多其他活动也被取消，这对社区的文化生活和创意产业工作者的收入产生了重大影响。他们的工作往往是季节性的，这使他们收到的影响更加严重。

en-us	In fact, Ministers repeatedly noted that artists and creative professionals have been among the hardest hit in this crisis due to the fragility of the sector, with many being self-employed, employed in small and medium-sized enterprises and, in some cases, working in the informal sector.
zh-cn	事实上，部长们多次指出，由于文化领域的脆弱性，艺术家和创意产业工作者是这场危机中受到最严重打击的人群之一，其中许多人是自营职业者，受雇于中小型企业，有时从事非正式工作。

en-us	many ministers highlighted the emergency funding packages that they have put in place in their countries to safeguard the livelihoods of artists, artisans and creative professionals in the short term.

zh-cn	为了解决这一实际问题，许多部长在本国实施了紧急供资一揽子计划，以便在短期内保障艺术家、工匠和创意产业工作者的生计，例如委托艺术家创作新作品，这些作品往往适应数字环境的新现实。这一举措既为艺术家个人提供了持续的收入，也为整个社会提供了获取文化的机会。

zh-cn	阿联酋指出：“我们必须开始讨论一个全面数字化的文化经济，并支持那些难以转化到虚拟世界中的文化。”

en-us	Yet, as many Ministers pointed out, culture is also a collective experience of our shared humanity and it will be important to revitalise human contact when it is safe to do so.
