澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯周二警告称，日益加剧的政治极化正在破坏社会凝聚力，并给全球民主制度带来越来越大的压力。
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese warned on Tuesday that growing political polarization was undermining social cohesion and putting democratic institutions under increasing pressure worldwide.
在安提瓜和巴布达圣约翰举行的英联邦政府首脑会议上，阿尔巴尼斯敦促各国领导人强化民主保障措施，保护民选代表免受暴力侵害。
Addressing the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Saint John's, Antigua and Barbuda, Albanese urged leaders to strengthen democratic safeguards and protect elected representatives from violence.
根据其办公室分享的讲话记录，他说：“在世界各地，政治极化正在降低社会凝聚力，给民主进程带来额外压力。”
“Across the world, political polarisation is reducing social cohesion, placing additional pressures on democratic processes,” he said, according to a transcript shared by his office.
他警告称，针对政客的威胁（尤其是针对女性政客的威胁）正在增加，其中一些已导致严重袭击和杀害事件。
He warned that threats against politicians, particularly women, were increasing, with some resulting in serious attacks and killings.
阿尔巴尼斯提到了澳大利亚议员海伦·海恩斯最近遭遇袭击一事，她受重伤且仍处于严重状况。
Albanese cited the recent attack on Australian lawmaker Helen Haines, who suffered grievous injuries and remains in serious condition.
10月19日，65岁的海恩斯在维多利亚州旺拉塔的选区办公室外被一辆车撞击，导致医生不得不截去她的双腿。
On Oct. 19, Haines, 65, was struck by a vehicle outside her electoral office in Wangaratta, Victoria, forcing doctors to amputate both her legs.
总理表示，这一事件凸显了保护民选代表的紧迫性，并支持英联邦为改善其安全采取的举措。
The premier said the incident underscored the urgency of protecting elected representatives and backed Commonwealth initiatives to improve their safety.
他补充说，乌克兰和中东的冲突正在对全球经济造成“毁灭性”影响。
He added that conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East were having a "devastating" impact on the global economy.
阿尔巴尼斯重申澳大利亚呼吁俄罗斯结束对乌克兰的战争，呼吁中东停火，并呼吁霍尔木兹海峡“重新开放并恢复航行与贸易自由”。他敦促英联邦成员国应对虚假信息、选举干预和人工智能滥用，警告数字平台正在助长分裂和暴力。
Albanese renewed Australia's calls for Russia to end its war on Ukraine, a Middle East ceasefire and for the Strait of Hormuz to “reopen and restore the freedom of navigation and trade.”He urged Commonwealth members to confront disinformation, election interference and the misuse of artificial intelligence, warning that digital platforms were fueling division and violence.
他说，澳大利亚支持让人类掌控人工智能的“开发和部署”。他还呼吁在气候变化问题上加强国际合作，特别是保护脆弱的太平洋岛国。
Australia, he said, supports keeping humans in control of AI "development and deployment." He also called for stronger international cooperation on climate change, particularly to protect vulnerable Pacific island nations.
