en-us	Good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
zh-cn	大家早上好，下午好，晚上好。 

en-us	Exactly 40 years ago today, on the 8th of May 1980, the World Health Assembly officially declared that “the world and all its peoples have won freedom from smallpox”.
zh-cn	40年前的今天，即1980年5月8日，世界卫生大会正式宣布“全世界及其所有人民赢得了摆脱天花的自由”。 

en-us	Smallpox is the first and, to date, the only human disease to be eradicated globally.
zh-cn	天花是第一种、也是迄今为止唯一一种在全球范围内被消灭的人类疾病。

en-us	Until it was wiped out, smallpox had plagued humanity for at least 3000 years, killing 300 million people in the 20th century alone. 
zh-cn	在天花被消灭之前，它已困扰人类至少3000年，仅在20世纪就夺去了3亿人的生命。

en-us	Its eradication stands as the greatest public health triumph in history.
zh-cn	消灭天花是历史上最辉煌的公共卫生成就。 

en-us	As the world confronts the COVID-19 pandemic, humanity’s victory over smallpox is a reminder of what is possible when nations come together to fight a common health threat.
zh-cn	在世界面临COVID-19大流行之际，人类战胜天花的往事提醒我们，只要各国团结一心共同抗击健康威胁，我们无坚不摧。 

en-us	Many of the basic public health tools that were used successfully then are the same tools that have been used to respond to Ebola, and to COVID-19: disease surveillance, case finding, contact tracing, and mass communication campaigns to inform affected populations.
zh-cn	当时成功运用的许多基本公共卫生手段与应对埃博拉和COVID-19的手段相同：疾病监测、发现病例、接触者追踪和通过大规模宣传运动向受影响的人群通报信息。 

en-us	The smallpox eradication campaign had one crucial tool that we don’t have for COVID-19 yet: a vaccine; in fact, the world’s first vaccine.
zh-cn	消灭天花运动有一个目前COVID-19抗疫工作还没有的重要手段：疫苗。实际上，天花疫苗是世界上第一种疫苗。 

en-us	As you know, WHO is now working with many partners to accelerate the development of a vaccine for COVID-19, which will be an essential tool for controlling transmission of the virus.
zh-cn	如你们所知，世卫组织目前正在与许多伙伴合作，加速COVID-19疫苗的研发。疫苗将是控制病毒传播的关键工具。

en-us	But although a vaccine was crucial for ending smallpox, it was not enough on its own.
zh-cn	然而，虽然疫苗对于消灭天花至关重要，但仅凭疫苗还是不够的。

en-us	After all, the vaccine was first developed by Edward Jenner in 1796. It took another 184 years for smallpox to be eradicated.
zh-cn	天花疫苗由爱德华·詹纳于1796年开发，而之后又花了整整184年才消灭了天花。

en-us	The decisive factor in the victory over smallpox was global solidarity.
zh-cn	战胜天花的决定性因素是全球团结协作。 

en-us	At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States of America joined forces to conquer a common enemy.
zh-cn	在冷战的高峰期，美苏两国联手征服了一个共同的敌人。 

en-us	They recognized that viruses do not respect nations or ideologies.
zh-cn	它们认识到病毒不分国家或意识形态。 

en-us	That same solidarity, built on national unity, is needed now more than ever to defeat COVID-19.
zh-cn	现在比以往任何时候都更需要国家团结一致，只有这样，才能战胜COVID-19。 

en-us	Stories like the eradication of smallpox have incredible power to inspire.
zh-cn	消灭天花是极为鼓舞人心的壮举。

en-us	But there are many more untold stories about health around the world.
zh-cn	然而，世界上还有许多关于健康的不为人知的故事。 

en-us	Next Tuesday, the 12th of May, WHO will announce the five winners of our inaugural Health for All Film Festival.
zh-cn	下周二，5月12日，世卫组织将宣布首届“人人享有健康”电影节的五名获奖者。

en-us	The winning films were chosen by a distinguished panel of jurors from almost 1300 entries from 110 countries. 
zh-cn	获奖影片是由知名影人评审团从来自110个国家的近1300个参赛作品中选出的。  

en-us	The short-listed films can be seen on WHO’s YouTube channel, and we invite everyone to join us on our social media channels next Tuesday, for the announcement of the winners.
zh-cn	入围影片可以在世卫组织的YouTube频道上找到。我们邀请大家于下周二观看我们的社交媒体频道，见证获奖者宣布仪式。 

en-us	Yesterday, I announced the resources WHO estimates it needs to deliver our updated Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19.
zh-cn	昨天，我宣布了世卫组织将要实施的COVID-19最新战略防范和应对计划估计需要的资源。 

en-us	The updated plan estimates that WHO requires US$1.7 billion to respond to COVID-19, across the three levels of the organization, between now and the end of 2020. 
zh-cn	根据最新计划，从现在到2020年底，估计世卫组织三个层级将需要17亿美元来应对COVID-19。 

en-us	This estimate includes the funds that WHO has already received to date, leaving WHO’s COVID-19 response with a funding gap of US$1.3 billion for 2020.
zh-cn	这一估算包含世卫组织迄今已收到的资金，也就是说，世卫组织2020年的资金缺口为13亿美元。 

en-us	To be clear, this estimate only covers WHO’s needs, not the entire global need. 
zh-cn	需要明确的是，这一估算仅涵盖世卫组织的需求，并非全球抗疫的全部需求。 

en-us	WHO is deeply grateful to the countries and donors who responded to WHO’s initial Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, and to the hundreds of thousands of individuals, corporations and foundations who have contributed to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund – we thank you so much for your commitment and support.
zh-cn	世卫组织非常感谢对其最初的战略防范和应对计划做出响应的国家和捐助者，以及向COVID-19团结应对基金捐款的成千上万的个人、公司和基金会。我们非常感谢你们的赞助和支持。 

en-us	Our updated strategic plan takes into account the lessons we have learned so far, strengthening WHO’s role in global and regional coordination. 
zh-cn	更新的战略计划考虑到了我们迄今为止汲取的经验教训，加强了世卫组织在全球和区域协调中的作用。

en-us	It is built on five strategic objectives:
zh-cn	它基于五个战略目标： 

en-us	First, to mobilize all sectors and communities;
zh-cn	第一，动员所有部门和社区； 

en-us	Second, to control sporadic cases and clusters by rapidly finding and isolating all cases;
zh-cn	第二，通过迅速发现和隔离所有病例，控制零星病例和聚集性病例；

en-us	Third, to suppress community transmission through infection prevention and control and physical distancing; 
zh-cn	第三，通过防控感染和保持人际距离，抑制社区传播； 

en-us	Fourth, to reduce mortality through appropriate care;
zh-cn	第四，通过恰当的医护，降低死亡率； 

en-us	And fifth, to develop safe and effective vaccines and therapeutics.
zh-cn	第五，开发安全有效的疫苗和治疗方法。

en-us	To support these objectives, WHO will continue to provide technical, operational and logistics support to countries, and we will continue to update and adapt our guidance according to local needs.
zh-cn	为了支持这些目标，世卫组织将继续向各国提供技术、业务和后勤支持，并将继续根据当地的需求更新和调整我们的指导意见。 

en-us	In certain fragile settings and countries with weaker health systems, WHO will continue its operational work as a provider of essential health services. 
zh-cn	在某些脆弱的环境下和卫生系统薄弱的国家，世卫组织将继续作为基本卫生服务的提供机构开展业务工作。

en-us	As we reflect today on the eradication of smallpox, we’re reminded of what is possible when nations come together to confront a common foe, to confront a common enemy.
zh-cn	今天当我们回首消灭天花的往事时，让我们记住，当各国同心协力面对一个共同的敌人，迎战一个人类公敌时，我们所能成就的伟业。

en-us	The legacy of smallpox was not only the eradication of one disease; it was the demonstration that when the world unites, anything is possible. 
zh-cn	天花工作遗产不仅仅是消灭了一种疾病，它表明，当世界团结一心时，我们将无往不胜。

en-us	If there is a will, there is a way.
zh-cn	有志者事竟成。

en-us	It gave us the confidence to pursue the eradication of other diseases like polio and Guinea worm. 
zh-cn	它使我们有信心消灭脊髓灰质炎和几内亚线虫病等其他疾病。 

en-us	Like smallpox, COVID-19 is a defining challenge for public health.
zh-cn	像天花一样，COVID-19是公共卫生领域面临的决定性挑战。 

en-us	Like smallpox, it’s a test of global solidarity.
zh-cn	像天花一样，它是对全球团结互助的一次考验。

en-us	Like smallpox, COVID-19 is giving us an opportunity not only to fight a single disease, but to change the trajectory of global health, and to build a healthier, safer, fairer world for everyone – to achieve universal health coverage, to achieve our dream from the establishment of WHO in the 1940s: Health for All.
zh-cn	像天花一样，COVID-19不仅为我们提供了抗击疾病的机会，也为我们提供了改变全球健康状况的机遇，激励我们建立更健康、更安全、更公平的世界，造福全人类，实现全民健康覆盖，实现自20世纪40年代世卫组织成立以来的梦想：人人健康。 

en-us	Thank you. 
zh-cn	谢谢大家。 

en-us	Before we move on to questions, I’d like to mention one small way we are commemorating the eradication of smallpox.
zh-cn	在进入提问环节之前，我想提一下我们纪念消灭天花的一个小小举措。 

en-us	When WHO’s smallpox eradication campaign was launched in 1967, one of the ways countries raised awareness about smallpox was through postage stamps – when social media like Twitter and Facebook was not even on the horizon.
zh-cn	世卫组织在1967年发起消灭天花运动时，各国借助发行邮票提高人们对天花的认识，当时远没有像推特和脸书这类社交媒体。 

en-us	To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of smallpox eradication, the United Nations Postal Administration and WHO are releasing a commemorative postage stamp to recognize global solidarity in fighting smallpox.
zh-cn	为了纪念消灭天花40周年，联合国邮政管理处与世卫组织一道发行了纪念邮票，以弘扬全球团结一致抗击天花之举。 

en-us	I especially want to thank my friend Mr Atul Khare, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Operational Support, for making this commemorative stamp possible.
zh-cn	我要特别感谢我的好友、联合国主管业务支助部的副秘书长阿图尔·哈雷先生使这枚纪念邮票得以问世。
