【英式英文】英国工党领袖杰里米-科尔宾复活节致辞(双语+MP3)



I would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter.


在此,我祝大家复活节快乐!


Easter is one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar. It promises new hope and new aspirations. Easter is a time when millions of Christians across the world gather to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus – a refugee whose parents were forced to flee their home because of a campaign of terror by a dictator, King Herod.


复活节,是基督教重大事件中最重要的庆祝活动之一。复活节,给了我们新的希望和愿望。复活节,是全球数百万基督徒们聚在一起庆祝耶稣的受难及复活的日子。耶稣是一个难民,他的父母曾因为独裁者希律王的恐怖活动而被迫流离失所。


Jesus went on to know what it was to be ostracized, rejected and tortured. A family forced to flee their homeland for fear of persecution.


耶稣继而知道了什么是排斥、拒绝和折磨。一家人因害怕受到迫害,而被迫逃离家园。


Sadly, this is still so familiar to us today. There are 68 million refugees across the world, more people than ever before have been forced to flee persecution, war, and abject poverty.


悲哀的是,我们今天仍然很熟悉这一点。全世界有6800万难民,因迫害、战争及贫困潦倒的而被迫流离失所的人数比以往的任何时候都要多得多。


The refugee crisis is a moral test. Jesus taught us to respect refugees. He himself said “welcome the stranger”.


难民危机,是一场道德考验。耶稣教导我们要尊重难民。耶稣说:“欢迎陌生人”。


In Britain, we have a proud history of providing a safe refuge to those in need, but this government refuses to meet our legal obligations to child refugees in Europe, as required by the Dubs Amendment.


在英国,我们曾经有一段为需要帮助的人提供安全庇护的光荣历史。但是,特蕾莎-梅政府拒绝履行据《杜布斯修正案》的要求我们对在欧洲儿童难民问题上的法律义务。


关于《道布杜修正案》


2016年5月,英国议会通过了一项由工党成员阿尔弗雷德⋅杜布斯发起的修正案,促使政府从其他欧洲国家接收一批人数不定的难民儿童,而杜布斯本人是1939年被从纳粹控制的捷克斯洛伐克集中营中解救出来的儿童之一。


当时这项计划获得了广泛拥护,甚至连一贯持反移民立场的《每日邮报》都表示 这些独自来到欧洲的儿童“令人无法转过身去”,英国安全和移民部长表示,“我们有道德责任帮助他们。”


不过,在2017年2月8日,英国内政部宣布将停止实施达杜布斯计划,因为它“鼓励”儿童成为欧洲难民。‍


At the end of last year, as refugees tried to cross the Channel, Sajid Javid threatened to deploy the Navy. But in response, the Bishop of Dover said, “it is crucial that we all remember we’re dealing with human beings here”.


2018年年底,在难民试图穿越英吉利海峡时,英国内政大臣萨吉德-贾伟德威胁说要部署海军(进行阻挠)。不过作为回应,多佛主教说,“我们都必须记住,我们在这里是在与人类打交道,这一点至关重要。”


Churches across the country support refugees, including through community sponsorship programs, and they are campaigning to allow asylum seekers to work sooner. This is true leadership, drawing on Jesus’s teachings to show us how we should approach this great moral test.


英国全国各地的教会都支持难民,包括通过社区赞助和正在展开的活动,让寻求庇护的人能更快地工作。这才是真正的领导力,借用耶稣的教义,展示我们应该如何面对这一重大的道德考验。


So, at this time of new hope and of new aspirations, we can learn from Christian values and offer the hand of friendship to welcome those in need.


因此,在这个充满新的希望和新的愿望的时刻,我们可以学习基督教的价值观,并向那些需要帮助的人提供友谊之手。
