For four hundred years, enslaved Africans fought for their freedom, while colonial powers and others committed horrific crimes against them.
400年來，當殖民國家和其他國家對被奴役的非洲人犯下駭人罪行時，這些非洲人為獲得自由而奮力斗爭。
On the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, we remember and honour the millions of Africans who were trafficked and enslaved.
值此奴隸制和跨大西洋販賣奴隸行為受害者國際紀念日之際，我們緬懷和紀念數(shù)以百萬計被販賣和奴役的非洲人。
Their lives were ruled by terror, as they endured rape, floggings, lynchings and other atrocities and humiliations.
他們受到強奸、鞭打、私刑、其他暴行和侮辱，生活被恐怖所支配。
Many of those who organized and ran the Transatlantic slave trade amassed huge fortunes. Meanwhile, the enslaved were deprived of education, healthcare, opportunity, and prosperity.
跨大西洋奴隸販賣的諸多組織者和經(jīng)營者積累了巨額財富。與此同時，被奴役者卻被剝奪了教育、保健、機會和繁榮。
This laid the foundations for a violent discrimination system based on white supremacy that still echoes today.
這為基于白人至上、實施暴力行為的歧視制度奠定了基礎，這一制度至今仍未消失。
Descendants of enslaved Africans and people of African descent are still fighting for equal rights and freedoms around the world.
被奴役的非洲人和非洲人后裔的子孫仍在世界各地為爭取平等權利和自由而斗爭。
Today and every day, we reject the legacy of this horrific crime against humanity.
今天和每一天，我們都拒絕接受這一駭人聽聞的危害人類罪的遺留問題。
We call for reparatory justice frameworks, to help overcome generations of exclusion and discrimination.
我們呼吁建立賠償性正義框架，幫助克服幾代人面臨的排斥和歧視。
We appeal for the space and necessary conditions for healing, repair and justice.
我們懇請為療愈、補救和正義提供空間和必要條件。
And above all, we resolve to work for a world free from racism, discrimination, bigotry and hate.
最重要的是，我們決心努力建設一個沒有種族主義、歧視、偏執(zhí)和仇恨的世界。
Together, as we remember the victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, let’s unite for human rights, dignity and opportunity.
在我們緬懷跨大西洋販賣奴隸行為受害者之際，讓我們團結一致，為所有人爭取人權、尊嚴和機會。
