例16：

　　和平穩定的國際環境是社會發展的前提條件，社會發展與國際和地區安全形勢密切相關。

　　Peaceful and stable international environment is the prerequisite for social development，which is closely linked with the security situation of the region and the world at large.

　 不幸的是，在過去的10年里，國際和地區的總體安全形勢很不穩定，武裝沖突延綿不斷，致使許多國家特別是發展中國家無暇集中精力搞建設，更談不上追求社會發展。

　　Unfortunately, in the past decade international and regional security situation has been highly unstable on the whole, with armed conflicts cropping up now and then, distracting many countries, the underdeveloped members in particular, from economic development, still less social development.

　　因此，努力營造和平的國際和地區環境，遏制沖突，建立公正合理的國際秩序，是各方落實承諾，實現發展目標的必要條件和頭等大事。

　　Therefore, striving to create a peaceful international and regional environment, preventing conflicts and establishing a fair/ equitable and reasonable international order stand out as the essential conditions and top priority for all parties to keep the commitments and realize the development goals.

　　俗話說：一千個承諾，不如一個行動。這說明行動的極端重要性。各種政府應首先樹立歷史責任感和緊迫感，切實落實行動計劃以及采取行動所需的機制和資源。

　　As a saying goes, “One thousand promises are not as good as one action.” That means action is extremely important. National governments must have the sense of historical responsibility and urgency to implement solid actions as well as necessary mechanisms and resources for these actions.
