巴黎,9月28日——法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周一表示,欧洲建立在“希腊-罗马和犹太-基督教根基”之上,他在与教皇利奥共同发表的演讲中援引了该大陆的宗教遗产。

PARIS, Sept 28 - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that Europe was built on a "Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian foundation", invoking the continent's religious heritage in a speech alongside Pope Leo.

作为宪法规定的世俗国家领导人,这些言论在一个经常为国家认同、宗教以及信仰在公共生活中的地位而苦恼的国家中显得尤为引人注目。利奥的访问受到了公众的热烈欢迎。

The remarks were notable from the leader of a constitutionally secular state, in a country that regularly agonises over national identity, religion and the place of faith in public life. Leo's tour has received an enthusiastic public reception.

马克龙在周一参加了利奥在梅斯举行的最后一场弥撒(此前他缺席了其他宗教仪式)后表示,欧洲的遗产有助于确立“人的首要地位”,并随后确立了“自由和理性的个人”。马克龙说:“我们的欧洲……首先是一种文明。

Macron, who attended Leo's last mass in Metz on Monday after skipping other religious services, said Europe's heritage had helped crystallise "the primacy of the person" and later "the free and rational individual".

这个由我们的城市和乡村、学校和大学、咖啡馆和公共广场组成的欧洲,是建立在希腊-罗马和犹太-基督教根基之上的。”

"Our Europe ... is above all a civilisation," Macron said. "This Europe of our cities and villages, schools and universities, cafes and public squares, was built on a Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian foundation." Macron added, however, that peace, truth and democracy were under threat not only from conflict such as Russia's war in Ukraine but also from social fragmentation and online manipulation.

然而,马克龙补充说,和平、真理和民主不仅受到俄罗斯在乌克兰战争等冲突的威胁,还受到社会分裂和网络操纵的威胁。

"Our Europe ... is above all a civilisation," Macron said. "This Europe of our cities and villages, schools and universities, cafes and public squares, was built on a Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian foundation." Macron added, however, that peace, truth and democracy were under threat not only from conflict such as Russia's war in Ukraine but also from social fragmentation and online manipulation.

他称欧盟是一个建立在成员国和平与平等基础上的独特政治项目,此时俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争重新引发了对欧洲大陆安全的担忧。但他同时也敦促欧洲人不要屈服于分裂性的民族主义或网络操纵。他说:“真理将使我们自由。”他呼吁采取行动打击虚假信息流行病。他表示,算法放大了助长分裂的负面情绪。马克龙说:“民主不仅会在炮火下消亡。当孤独蔓延,公民不再倾听彼此的声音时,它也会逐渐消逝。”路透社

He called the European Union a unique political project founded on peace and equality among its members, at a time when Russia's war in Ukraine has revived concerns over security on the continent. But he also urged Europeans not to succumb to divisive nationalism or online manipulation. "The truth will set us free," he said, calling for action against an epidemic of disinformation. He said algorithms amplified negative emotions that fuelled division. "A democracy does not die only under shells," Macron said. "It can also fade when loneliness spreads and citizens stop listening to one another." REUTERS
