Nelson Mandela once said, “Sport has the power to change the world”.
納爾遜·曼德拉曾說過：“體育具有改變世界的力量。”
We need this power more than ever today, to strengthen the grounds for more inclusive and sustainable development and lasting peace, in this year, when States shape a new global sustainable development agenda.
今年，在各國擬定新的全球可持續發展議程之際，我們比以往任何時候都需要這種力量，以便為更加包容和可持續的發展以及持久和平打下更加堅實的基礎。
Especially in turbulent times, sport can be a powerful vehicle for social inclusion, gender equality, and youth empowerment, with benefits that extend far beyond the grounds of stadiums. There is nothing like sport to bring women and men from different cultures together around the shared values of fair play, mutual respect and team spirit. Sport and physical education are especially important for young people, for their health and civic engagement.
尤其是在動蕩時期，體育可以成為社會包容、性別平等和增強青年權能的強大媒介，其所帶來的裨益遠遠不止于運動場。體育使來自不同文化的人們在公平競賽、相互尊重和團隊精神等共同價值觀的旗幟下聚集在一起。體育運動與體育教育對青年的健康和公民參與尤其重要。
Sport is a pillar of a healthy society, at ease with itself, united in its diversity, based on human rights and equal dignity. It provides a field for passions to be shared, for communities to come together, for the disadvantaged to be empowered.
體育是健康社會的支柱，使人們和諧共處，既多樣又團結，立足于人權和平等尊嚴。它為人們提供了分享激情的機會，讓不同社群走到一起，使弱勢群體變得強大。
This is the importance of the UNESCO International Charter of Physical Education and Sport, to bolster the right of access for all to physical education, physical activity, and sport. This same spirit guides UNESCO’s action in the fight against doping, through the Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport, and the Anti-Doping Convention, which 170 countries have signed. In August 2014, the World Youth Forum on Sport, Culture, and Peace was organized by UNESCO and the Nanjing Municipal Government, bringing young men and woman together from across the world to explore common challenges and solutions.
教科文組織《國際體育運動憲章》對于促進全民參加體育教育、體育活動和體育運動的權利的重要性就在于此。這種精神也指引著教科文組織的反興奮劑行動，特別是通過杜絕在體育運動中使用興奮劑基金和170個國家簽署的《反對使用興奮劑公約》采取的行動。2014年8月，教科文組織和南京市政府共同舉辦了世界青年體育、文化與和平論壇，世界各地的青年男女共聚一堂，探討共同挑戰和解決方案。
In every society, sport is a field of dreams and a force for fabulous positive change-we must do everything to harness this power. This is UNESCO’s message on this International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
在每一個社會，體育運動都是夢想的王國，都是積極的重大轉變的推動力——我們必須想方設法利用這種力量。這便是教科文組織在今年體育促進發展與和平國際日要傳遞的訊息。
