　　Secretary General Ban Ki-moon， ladies and gentlemen：

　　秘书长潘基文先生 女士们先生们：

　　It’s a great pleasure to join you for this historical moment， this strategy is the best investment we can make in a future of humanity. Better health for all in a global challenge. I am grateful to be the ambassador for HIV/AIDS of China under WHO. It gives me more chance to help meet the healthy challenge.

　　非常高兴能与大家一起见证这个历史性的时刻。这个战略是我们对人类未来的最好投资。它致力于全球挑战下世界人民更好的健康。我十分荣幸担任世界卫生组织中国结核病/艾滋病防治亲善大使，使我有机会参与应对全球健康挑战。

　　In 2006， one of my first trips as China AIDS ambassador took me to a poor village in China. There， I met a five-year-old boy， named GAO Jun. He was short and skinny， with festering skin all of his body. Having lost his parents to AIDS， had no one to look after him， he did not talk to anyone， or look others in the eye.

　　2006年，我担任全球健康大使的首个行动就是到中国一个偏远农村，在那里我遇到了一个五岁的小男孩，名叫高俊，又瘦又小，全身皮肤溃烂，他的父母都死于艾滋病，无人照管，他不与人交流，也不敢直视他人。

　　Seeing his condition was heartbreaking. From that moment on， helping AIDS orphans has been a top priority for me. Together with the government and civil society， I raise fund to build schools and find treatment for them.

　　看到他的处境，我十分心痛。从那时起，帮助艾滋病孤儿就是我第一要务。通过与政府以及民间团体通力合作，我筹集资金为这些儿童建立学校并寻找治疗方法。

　　All efforts quickly paid off. When I saw GAO Jun again， he looked much taller and happier， his fester was gone. And he joined me in making a public service at called “Together Forever”. He told me that his dream is to be a pilot. I hope his dream will come true.

　　很快，付出就有了成效。我再次见到高军的时候，他长高了，比以前开朗了。往日的痛苦烟消云散。他还和我一起谈论一项名为“永远在一起”的公益活动。他告诉我，他想做一名飞行员，我希望他能够梦想成真。

　　I have met hundreds of orphans like GAO jun. Nothing makes me happier than seeing these children grow up strong and health. One of them has started her own family. When I first met Nannan， she was only 13 and in poor health. Through regular treatment， she got much better. She then got happily married.

　　我见过上百个像高俊这样的孩子。没有什么事情比我看到他们强壮、健康地长大，更能让我感到高兴了。其中一个孩子现在已经有了自己的家庭。当我第一次到这个名叫楠楠的女孩时，她只有13岁，身体很差。经过定期的治疗，她现在好多了，而且已经幸福地结了婚。

　　Three years ago， she and her husband decided to have a baby. So he gave her the treatment to prevent mother to child transmission. It was very successful. She is now the mother of a healthy baby.

　　三年前，她和她的丈夫决定要一个孩子。为了防止母婴传染，她进行了治疗。结果非常成功，她现在已经是一位母亲了，孩子也非常健康。

　　This is the difference we can make by reaching out to them. In recent years， a summer camp is held each year to bring together AIDS orphans from across China. They joined by me and other AIDS ambassadors， the famous actors， TV hosts and sports stars. In fact， many of us are not just ambassadors for AIDS， but also for TB and anti-smoking.

　　跟他们进行接触，我们就可以为他们带来这样的改变。近些年来，我们每年都会组织夏令营，把来自全国的艾滋病孤儿聚集在一起参加活动。我和许多著名演员、电视主持人、体育明星一起，作为艾滋病亲善大使投入到活动中。事实上，我们中许多人不仅仅是艾滋病亲善大使，我们也为结核病和戒烟做着努力。

　　I remember， Doctor Margret Chen was there with us at the summer camp in 2013. Just last month， I went to these years summer camp at Beijing Youth Camper International. We showed children what we do to help them discovered their talent. We also tell them about the UN.

　　我记得陈冯富珍女士也在2013年参与了我们的夏令营活动。去年，我去到北京国际青年夏令营，展示了我们所做的努力，帮助他们挖掘自己的天赋。我们也向他们介绍联合国。

　　They would share with us how their lives are changed. When I see these smiles on the faces， when I see how healthy and happy they are now， when I think about how far they have come， I could hardly hold back tears in my eyes.

　　他们和我们分享了他们生活中的变化。当我看到他们脸上的笑容，当我看到现在的他们是那么健康快乐，当我想到他们成长一路的不易，我不禁热泪盈眶。

　　Sometimes I go to Universities in China， to talk about AIDS awareness， many have become volunteers against AIDS and the disease of discrimination.

　　我曾在中国的部分大学开展艾滋病防治宣传，许多人因此成为了防治艾滋、消除艾滋病歧视的志愿者，能正确看待这种疾病。

　　Still， a lot more needs to be done， I remember asking the orphans， what will you be doing in 40 years. The girl shocked her head and said， I do not. What a said answer! There’s no vaccine for AIDS yet， but our love can be just as powerful as any vaccine.

　　尽管如此，我们仍有许多工作要做。我记得我问过一个孤儿这样的问题：四十年后，你觉得你会做什么呢?那个小女孩很茫然地摇了摇头，说，我不知道。这是多么让人心酸的回答啊。目前，还没有能够有效对抗艾滋病的疫苗，但我相信，我们的爱可以发挥出和疫苗一样强有力的作用。

　　I want to thank UN for its commitment at this important strategy. I want to thank the international and Chinese organizations for helping China fight HIV/AIDS over the years. I want to thank the UN agencies like WHO， UNAIDS， UNICEF and UN Women， for their contribution to global health.

　　我要感谢联合国做出此项重要承诺。还要感谢联合国的各个机构，包括世界卫生组织、联合国艾滋病规划署、联合国儿童基金会和联合国妇女组织，感谢他们对全球卫生事业所作的贡献。

　　China will always be your strong partner and give full support to the new strategy. As Mr. Secretary General said， we all have a role to play， for our children and children’s children. Let’s work together， to make the strategy a success. Thank you very much.

　　中国将会继续大力支持各项新政策。正如潘基文秘书长所说，我们都需要为我们的子孙后代做些什么。让我们一起努力，推动新政策的成功落实。谢谢大家。
