英国国王查尔斯三世周二在安提瓜和巴布达举行的第28届英联邦政府首脑会议（CHOGM）开幕式上致辞，警告国际不稳定加剧、冲突不断升级以及全球规范遭到侵蚀。
Britain’s King Charles III on Tuesday warned of growing international instability, mounting conflicts and the erosion of global norms as he addressed the opening of the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda.
英国君主在致辞中说：“随着国际规范和体系受到极限考验，残酷冲突笼罩着我们的世界，摧毁生命，在全球投下长长的阴影。”
“As international norms and systems are tested to their limits, brutal conflict stalks our world, destroying lives and casting long shadows across the globe,” the British monarch said in his address.
他还强调了气候变化、环境破坏和快速技术变革带来的日益严重的威胁，将这些综合挑战描述为“我们这个时代的危机”。查尔斯敦促英联邦成员国加强合作，称该组织为通过伙伴关系、贸易和投资解决共同全球问题提供了重要平台。
He also highlighted the growing threats posed by climate change, environmental destruction and rapid technological transformation, describing the combined challenges as “the crisis of our time.”Charles urged Commonwealth members to strengthen cooperation, saying the organization offered an important platform for addressing shared global problems through partnerships, trade and investment.
国王还谈到了跨大西洋奴隶贸易的遗留问题，承认其对加勒比国家和其他英联邦成员国产生的持久影响。
The king also addressed the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade, acknowledging its lasting impact on Caribbean nations and other Commonwealth members.
他说：“那段可耻的历史篇章让我内心充满恐惧，灵魂感到最深切的个人悲痛。”
“That shameful chapter of history is one that fills my heart with horror and my soul with the most profound personal sorrow,” he said.
虽然承认过去无法改变，但查尔斯强调从历史中吸取教训、建立伙伴关系以通过教育、就业机会和经济发展来应对其后果的重要性。
While acknowledging that the past cannot be changed, Charles stressed the importance of learning from history and building partnerships to address its consequences through education, employment opportunities and economic development.
他还呼吁加大对气候适应能力、可再生能源和自然保护的投资，特别是对那些对全球排放贡献微乎其微却面临最严酷后果的脆弱岛国。
He also called for greater investment in climate resilience, renewable energy and nature protection, particularly in vulnerable island nations that have contributed little to global emissions but face some of their harshest consequences.
