On this International Day of Non-Violence, we commemorate not only the birth of Mahatma Gandhi but also the timeless values he championed: mutual respect and understanding, justice, and the power of peaceful action.

值此国际非暴力日之际，我们不仅要纪念圣雄甘地的诞生，而且要缅怀他所倡导的永恒价值观：互尊互谅，追求正义，崇尚和平行动的力量。

Our world confronts grave challenges: growing inequalities, rising tensions, proliferating conflicts, and worsening climate chaos.

我们的世界面临着严峻的挑战：不平等现象增加，矛盾加剧，冲突扩散，气候紊乱恶化。

We also see divides deepening within countries – with democracy under threat and hate speech and intolerance on the march.

我们还看到国家内部的分歧加深：民主受威胁，仇恨言论和不容忍行为在横行。

We can overcome these afflictions and chart a course towards a brighter, more peaceful future.

我们可以克服这些困难，开辟一条道路，通往更加光明也更加和平的未来。

If we understand – as Gandhi did – that the magnificent diversity of our human family is a treasure, not a threat.

但前提是，我们能像甘地一样，明白人类大家庭的巨大多样性是财富，而非威胁。

If we invest in social cohesion, nurture the courage to compromise, and the determination to cooperate.

我们能进行投入来提升社会凝聚力，养护妥协的勇气，培育合作的决心。

If we ensure that all of us – regardless of status, background, circumstance, or faith – can live lives of dignity, opportunity, and rights.

我们能确保所有人，无论地位、背景、条件或信仰如何，都可以过上有尊严、有机会、有权利的生活。

If we unite around our common humanity.

我们能围绕着共同人性团结在一起。

Let us remember Gandhi’s wise counsel: “Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.”

让我们铭记甘地的至理名言：“异而能同，是文明之美，也是文明准绳”。

Let us heed his words today and re-commit ourselves to this essential purpose.

今天，让我们聆听甘地的话语，重新致力于达成这一根本目的。
