法国梅斯,9月28日——教皇利奥周一表示,寻求结束欧洲战争的谈判者必须愿意牺牲部分立场以实现和平,因为结束俄罗斯在乌克兰血腥战争的努力仍在持续失败。
METZ, France, Sept 28 - Pope Leo said on Monday that negotiators seeking to end war in Europe must be willing to sacrifice some positions to achieve peace, as efforts to end Russia's bloody war in Ukraine continue to fail.
这位首位美国籍教皇在欧洲联盟奠基人之一、梅斯市出身的罗伯特·舒曼的故乡发表讲话,他痛惜地指出:“战争已经回归,甚至回到了欧洲:一场新的无意义屠杀,每天夺去无数平民的生命。”
The first US pope, speaking in Metz, hometown of Robert Schuman, a founding father of the European Union, lamented that "war has returned, even to Europe: a new senseless slaughter, claiming countless civilian lives every day".
利奥教皇提出了他迄今为止对欧洲最清晰的政治愿景,并在极右翼势力在该地区不断壮大的背景下,赞扬了欧洲一体化和多文化主义。
Offering his clearest political vision yet for Europe, Leo also praised integration and multiculturalism at a time when the far right is gaining strength across the region.
他用法语呼吁欧洲人铭记支撑欧盟的创始价值观,包括法治以及不分种族、肤色、阶级或职业的所有人的平等。
Speaking in French, he urged Europeans to recall the founding values that underpin the EU, including the rule of law and the equality of all people without distinction of race, colour, class or profession.
利奥教皇于周五开始为期四天的访问,并警告称联合国和其他多边机构正处于危机之中,国际对话有沦为“闹剧”的风险。
Leo began his four-day visit on Friday with a warning that the United Nations and other multilateral bodies were in crisis and that international dialogue risked becoming a "charade".
教皇呼吁通过对话结束战争 周一在梅斯,他将注意力转向乌克兰战争——尽管未直接点名。
POPE CALLS FOR DIALOGUE TO END WAR On Monday in Metz, he turned his attention to the war in Ukraine - without mentioning it directly.
他敦促道:“我们需要……在谈判中展现勇气,并愿意为了和平的更大利益而放弃某些立场。”他援引了1917年教皇本笃十五世在第一次世界大战浩劫中发出的类似呼吁。
"We need ... to show courage in negotiation and to be willing to give up some positions for the greater good of peace," he urged, invoking a similar 1917 appeal from Pope Benedict XV amid the carnage of the First World War.
利奥教皇还重申了他对欧洲军费开支上升的反对立场。在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的压力和俄罗斯咄咄逼人的态势下,欧洲军费开支去年以冷战结束以来的最大幅度增长。他说:“我们还必须警惕重新武装是解决方案的错觉。”
Leo also reiterated his opposition to rising European military spending, which grew last year by the highest amount since the end of the Cold War amid pressure from US President Donald Trump and Russian assertiveness. "We must also guard against the illusion that rearmament is the answer," he said.
今天我们必须扪心自问,我们是在为促进世界和平做出真正的创造性努力,还是仅仅在寻求“遏制战争浪潮”,并为我们认为终将到来的战争做好更充分的准备。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基上周在纽约会见了特朗普,讨论结束战争的方法。俄罗斯于2022年对乌克兰发动全面入侵,目前已占领了乌克兰五分之一的领土。双方目前均未表现出任何让出土地的意愿。教皇方济各敦促欧洲欢迎移民方济各还敦促欧洲领导人接纳抵达欧洲大陆的移民,并像对待家人一样为他们提供机会。
"Today we must ask whether we are truly making creative efforts to advance world peace, or whether we are simply seeking to 'stem the tide of war' and better prepare ourselves for wars that we assume are still to come." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week met Trump in New York to discuss ways to end the war, which Russia began in 2022 with a full-scale invasion that has seized a fifth of Ukraine. Neither side has shown any willingness to concede land. LEO URGES EUROPE TO WELCOME MIGRANTS Leo also urged European leaders to integrate migrants arriving on the continent and offer them opportunities as if they were family members.
经常敦促世界各国领导人更人道地对待移民的教皇,再次呼吁为移民建立“合法且安全的途径”,并开展国际合作以打击人口贩运。
The pope, who frequently urges world leaders to treat migrants more humanely, repeated his call for "legal and safe pathways" for immigration, and international cooperation to fight human trafficking.
他说:“欢迎一个人意味着要像对待自己家庭成员一样接纳他们,为他们提供发展自身天赋、能力和感悟力的机会。”方济各也曾严厉批评特朗普在美国采取的强硬反移民政策。他敦促欧洲维护法治,并欢迎多元文化。
"To welcome a person means to integrate them as if they were part of one's own family, offering them the opportunity to develop their gifts, abilities and sensibilities," he said. Leo has also sharply criticised Trump's hardline US anti-immigration policies. He urged Europe to maintain the rule of law, and welcome multiculturalism.
他说:“当欧洲能够汲取其过去最优秀的方面,并通过与他人的交流以新的创造性方式重塑这些方面时,它便能繁荣与进步。”他还强调了欧洲的基督教根基。
"Europe has flourished and progressed when it has been able to draw on the best aspects of its past and reinvent them in new and creative ways through encounters with others," he said, also stressing Europe's Christian roots.
“今天,个人与国家之间的关系正变得越来越不文明。信守诺言的价值被摒弃;相反,人们以谎言和欺骗为荣。欧洲可以通过其学会培养和保持的对他人的尊重,来帮助打破这一循环。”路透社
"Today, relations between individuals and states are becoming increasingly uncivilised. The value of keeping one's word is dismissed; instead, people boast of lies and deceit. Europe can help to break this cycle through the respect for others that it has learned to cultivate and preserve." REUTERS
