生活就像一杯紅酒,熱愛生活的人會從其中品出無窮無盡的美妙。將它握在手中仔細觀察,它的暗紅色中有血的感覺,那正是生命的痕跡。抿一口留在口中回味,它的甘甜中有一絲苦澀,如人生一般復雜迷離。喝一口下肚,余香沁人心脾,讓人終身受益。紅酒越陳越美味,生活越豐富越美好。當人生走向晚年,就如一瓶待開封的好酒,其色彩是沉靜的,味道中充滿慷慨與智慧。

The UN General Assembly, the central political forum, is composed of 193 members, including virtually all the world's nation-states. Two-thirds of its members are developing countries, which account for about three-quarters of the world's population.
