Now let me tell you about the work I have been doing with them.
現在我來告訴你們我和他們一起做的工作。
My job with the UN is not paid, but voluntary, and as I said before, I visit countries where the UN has programmes to help people.
我為聯合國所做的工作不計酬勞，而是自愿的，正如我之前所說，我訪問那些由聯合國安排了項目來幫助人們的國家。

They collect approximately 1.35 yuan per day from each member and add it to some money contributed by the government.

在2000年舉行的聯合國大會上，所有成員國同意到2015年，努力實現八個發展目標。
