When the two national Olympic teams of the Korean Peninsula marched together last year during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, it was a symbolic gesture of reconciliation through sport.
在去年平昌冬季奧林匹克運動會開幕式上，朝鮮半島兩個國家的奧運代表團共同入場，這一場景是對通過體育運動走向和解的生動詮釋。
A few months later, both the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea decided, through UNESCO’s mediation, to inscribe traditional Korean wrestling, ssirum/ssireum, on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which recognizes several traditional sports and games from around the world. These are both powerful examples of the power of sport to forge the pathways of peace and dialogue to unite people.
數月之後，在教科文組織的協調下，朝鮮民主主義人民共和國和大韓民國決定聯合申請將朝鮮族傳統摔跤“希日木”列入已收錄世界各地數項傳統體育運動和比賽項目的《人類非物質文化遺產代表作名錄》。這兩個事例有力地證明了體育具有開闢和平對話道路、促進人民團結的強大力量。
Regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, sport is enjoyed by all; its reach is unrivalled. More importantly, though, sport promotes universal values that transcend language and culture, particularly inclusion. History abounds with examples of inspiring stories of how expanding sporting opportunity leads to greater inclusion in society overcoming prejudice against women, ethnic minorities and people living with a disability.
無論其年齡、性別或種族，人人都可參與體育運動；體育的影響無可比擬。更為重要的是，體育弘揚包容等超越語言和文化的普遍價值觀。歷史上鼓舞人心的故事數不勝數，無不表明擴大參與體育運動的機會可以促進社會包容，並克服對婦女、少數民族和殘疾人的偏見。
Such is the importance of sport, the United Nations General Assembly last year recognized it as a driver of sustainable development, not only for its role in peacebuilding and empowerment but also well-being in all our daily lives.
鑑於體育運動的重要意義，聯合國大會於去年確認體育運動是可持續發展的推動力量，不僅因其在和平建設和增強權能方面發揮的作用，也因其為我們日常生活帶來的福祉。
To spread this well-being – as well as the values of team spirit, discipline, equality, fair play and respect – UNESCO is teaming up with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) to enhance children’s access to sport, by distributing footballs and supporting teachers to incorporate sport into curricula.
為了傳播這一福祉，同時為了傳揚團隊精神、紀律、平等、公平競爭和尊重等價值觀，教科文組織正在與國際足球聯合會和聯合國世界糧食計劃署合作，用分發足球和支持教師將體育納入課程等方式，增加兒童參與體育運動的機會。
UNESCO Champion for Sport and Brazilian footballer, Edson Arantes do Nascimento – “Pelé” – once remarked that “sports is something that is very inspirational for young people”. This unique inspiration is why we at UNESCO remain deeply committed to working with young people across the globe to engage in their communities and contribute to positive transformations through sport.
教科文組織體育運動冠軍、巴西足球運動員貝利（埃德森·阿蘭特斯·多·納西門託）曾經說過，“體育運動對年輕人具有巨大的鼓舞作用。”正因如此，教科文組織堅定地致力於同全世界的年輕人一道，通過體育促進社區參與並推動積極的變革。
The International Day for Sport for Development and Peace encourages people of all ages and background to participate in sport not only for better mental and physical well-being but also to consolidate lasting peace based on respect and dialogue.
體育促進發展與和平國際日鼓勵所有年齡和背景的人參與體育運動，這種參與不僅有益身心健康，而且能夠鞏固建立在尊重與對話基礎上的持久和平。
