Nuclear disarmament is one of the founding principles of the United Nations. It was the objective of the first General Assembly resolution. Disarmament is in our DNA.
核裁軍是聯合國的創始原則之一，也是聯合國大會第一個決議的目標。裁軍已經融入我們的DNA。

I have been proud to advance the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. In 2008, I launched a Five Point Proposal on Nuclear Disarmament to spur Member States to greater action. In the years since, I have done my utmost to convince States of the urgency of this task.
我始終推動實現無核世界的目標，並引以爲豪。2008年，我提出了核裁軍五點建議，以激勵會員國採取更大的行動。這些年來，我努力說服各國認識到這一任務的緊迫性，併爲此投入了全副身心。

As we scan the global horizon, we face growing nuclear dangers. Progress in multilateral nuclear disarmament has come to a standstill.
放眼全球，我們面臨着不斷增長的核危險。多邊核裁軍已經陷入停滯。

Tens of billions of dollars have been pledged to maintain and upgrade nuclear weapon systems.
數十億美元將用於核武器系統的維護和升級。

One country – the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea – has repeatedly defied the norm against nuclear testing and the will of the international community in the reckless pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.
有一個國家——朝鮮民主主義人民共和國——一再無視核禁試規範並挑戰國際社會的意願，肆無忌憚地追求發展核武器和彈道導彈能力。

Sadly, many countries continue to include nuclear deterrence in their security doctrines. But recent developments have shown that nuclear weapons do not ensure peace and security. Rather, their development and possession has become a major source of international tension.
令人遺憾的是，許多國家繼續把核威懾納入本國的安全理論。但是，最近的事態發展表明，核武器並不能保證和平與安全。相反，發展和擁有核武器已經成爲國際緊張局勢的主要來源。

Meanwhile, we see growing divisions on the future of multilateral nuclear disarmament. The next review cycle of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons begins in 2017. The world cannot afford another round of inaction.
與此同時，我們看到，對多邊核裁軍今後走向的分歧正在加劇。《不擴散核武器條約》的下一個審查週期將於2017年開始。世界無法承受不作爲狀態的再次出現。

There are many paths to a world free of nuclear weapons. What matters is that all States act now, without delay, to fulfil their disarmament and non-proliferation commitments.
建立無核世界固然有很多路徑。但重要的是，所有國家都應迅速行動起來，履行裁軍和不擴散承諾。

Let us pledge to work for the total elimination of nuclear weapons with urgency and a sense of collective purpose. Our very survival depends upon it.
讓我們作出承諾，以一種緊迫感和集體目的感爲徹底消除核武器而努力。我們的生存將取決於我們能否踐行這一承諾。
