Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
各位阁下、尊敬的各位来宾、女士们先生们：

As you have just heard from Dr Nakatani, WHO has clear strategies and policies, and high ambitions in its work to combat the co-epidemics of tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
正如刚才大家聆听到的中谷广贵博士的发言，世卫组织在与结核病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病合并流行的斗争中具有明确的战略和政策，也有雄心壮志。

These are killer diseases, together claiming more than 3.5 million lives each year, mainly in the developing world. They cause immense suffering, place a heavy burden on health care services, and carry enormous consequences for societies and economies.
二者都属于致命性疾病，加在一起每年使350多万人失去生命，这主要发生在发展中世界国家。这两种疾病会给人带来极大的痛苦，使卫生保健服务背上深重的负担，并且会造成巨大的社会和经济后果。

Unfortunately, these two diseases work very well together in a ferocious synergy, each one amplifying the consequences of the other.
不幸的是，这两种疾病十分融洽地结合在一起，产生了极大的协同作用，每种疾病都使另外一种疾病带来的后果得以扩大。

But we have made enormous progress against both diseases in just the past decade. We know what to do to prevent infections and save or prolong lives.
但是仅仅在过去的十年中，我们与两种疾病的斗争取得了巨大进展。我们知道该怎么去做，来预防感染并且拯救或者延长生命。

The numbers of infections and deaths are still way too high, but they are going down as access to information, medicines, and care becomes more widely available.
感染人数和死亡人数仍然过高，但是伴随着人们可以越来越广泛地获得信息、药品和医护，这两个数字正在出现下降。

Both diseases have strong behavioural components that can be influenced by powerful, respected people.
两种疾病都与行为因素密切相关，这可以通过强有力并且受人尊敬的人士施加影响。

Both diseases are associated with discrimination, which can again be influenced by a well-known personality, with a beautiful voice and a compassionate heart.
两种疾病都与歧视有关，这也可以通过众所周知的名人，利用其美妙之声和慈悲之心施加影响。

Ladies and gentlemen,
女士们先生们，

I am extremely pleased to announce today that the acclaimed Chinese folk singer, Ms Peng Liyuan, has agreed to support WHO’s international work on tuberculosis and HIV by serving as our Goodwill Ambassador.
今天我非常高兴地宣布，倍受欢迎的中国民歌歌手彭丽媛女士同意担当我们的亲善大使，支持世卫组织在结核病和艾滋病方面的国际工作。

With numerous honours bestowed on her nationally and internationally, she is a big bright star with a huge and respectful audience of admirers.
她享有国内外授予的众多荣誉，是一位有着众多令人尊敬的崇拜者的大明星。

We are extremely proud that an actress and artist of Ms Peng’s standing will now lend her world-famous voice, and her compassionate heart, to support WHO’s work on these two diseases, where influencing people makes such an important difference.
我们感到非常自豪的是，彭女士现在将作为一名演员和艺术家，借她闻名于世的声音和慈悲之心来支持世卫组织针对这两种疾病所做的工作。在这方面，具有影响的人士可带来重要改变。

In a sense, this will be a natural and well-rehearsed role. Ms Peng has long worked on advocacy for these diseases in areas ranging from the care of AIDS orphans to the importance of HIV testing and taking appropriate protective precautions.
从某种意义上说，这将是一个趋于自然并且反复演练过的角色。彭女士长期一来一直致力于这些疾病的宣传工作，涉及的领域从关爱艾滋病孤儿到艾滋病毒检测以及采取适当保护性预防措施的重要性不等。

Her personal devotion has taken her to poverty-stricken areas to visit TB patients. She has made donations for HIV/AIDS-affected children. And she fights, with an artist’s passion and persuasive power, against discrimination.
她的个人奉献精神促使她到贫困地区访问结核病人。她为受到艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响的儿童提供捐助。她利用艺术家具有的激情和说服力与歧视现象展开斗争。

Before announcing her appointment formally, I would like for us to view a video which can help you visualize some of the things I have just said.
在我正式宣布聘任之前，我想让我们看一段录像，这可有助于大家亲眼目睹我刚才所说的一些情况。

Madame Peng Liyuan, Your Excellency Ambassador HE Yafei, Your Excellency Vice-Minister Yin Li, delegates from the government and Ministry of Health of China, representatives of the Global Fund, UNAIDS, UNITAID, and FIND, members of civil society organizations, WHO colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,
彭丽媛女士，何亚非大使阁下，尹力副部长阁下，中国政府和卫生部的各位代表， 全球基金、联合国艾滋病规划署、国际药品采购机制以及创新诊断学基金会的代表，民间社会组织的各位成员，世卫组织各位同道，女士们先生们：

I am extremely pleased today to designate Ms Peng Liyuan as the WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Tuberculosis and HIV.
今天，我非常高兴地委任彭丽媛女士为世界卫生组织结核病和艾滋病防治亲善大使。

Ms Peng, we admire the dedication you have so convincingly shown in helping children, orphans, women, and men in China who are struggling to survive and overcome the devastating effects of these diseases.
彭女士，你为中国那些挣扎求生并且努力克服这些疾病造成的破坏性影响的儿童、孤儿、以及男男女女提供帮助，我们钦佩你为此展现出的奉献精神，这十分令人信服。

We believe that this same dedication in support of WHO’s work on the international stage will help us reach many millions more with a powerful voice for raising international awareness as well as behavioural change at the individual level. By doing so, we can ensure that people at risk have easier access to information and services to prevent and manage TB and HIV.
我们认为，在国际舞台上对世卫组织工作体现支持的这般同等奉献精神，将会有助于我们凭借强有力的声音去影响到更多的数百万人，以提高国际意识并且促进个人行为的转变。这样，我们就可确保危险人群更加容易地获得预防和处理结核病和艾滋病的信息和服务。

We see you as a critical bridge that brings policy-makers together with affected people, who are often poor and have little political voice.
我们视你为将决策者和受到影响的人们凝聚在一起的重要桥梁，而受到疾病影响的人们往往会陷于贫困，几乎没有什么政治发言权。

We believe that through your music, art, and compassion, you will be the role model that inspires many more people, whether powerful and influential or just ordinary citizens, to join the fight against these two diseases.
我们相信，通过你的音乐、艺术和同情，你将发挥榜样作用，以此来激励许许多多的人们加入到与这两种疾病开展斗争的活动中来，这些人无论是强有力者、具有影响者，或者仅仅是普通居民。

Again, thank you, Ms Peng, for agreeing to become the WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Tuberculosis and HIV.
彭女士，再次感谢你同意担当世界卫生组织结核病和艾滋病防治亲善大使。

In doing so, you step onto another international stage where your voice, passion, and presence will bring much good will and do much good, not only in China, but for the millions of people affected by these diseases in every corner of the world.
这样一来，你就走上了另外一个国际舞台，你的声音、你的同情还有你的表演风度将会招致许多善意，给人带来许多好处，不仅在中国是这样，对世界每一个角落受到这两种疾病影响的数百万人也是这样。

Thank you.
谢谢大家。
