On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed world leaders, asserting that the accusation of genocide against Israel in Gaza was not merely unfounded but could well be described as "the greatest lie of the century."
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡于周四向世界各国领导人发表讲话,断言针对以色列在加沙实施种族灭绝的指控不仅失实,更堪称“本世纪最大的谎言”。
His rhetoric was profoundly provocative, declaring that Israel had the right to wage war against Iran—yet before he even opened his mouth to speak, dozens of delegates had stormed out in protest, thereby missing this pronouncement altogether.
其言辞极具挑衅性,声言以色列有权对伊朗发动战争——然而在他启齿发言之前,已有数十名代表拂袖离场,未能聆听到这番言论。
"In defending its own existence, Israel is also defending the many nations whose representatives have only just walked out of this hall," Netanyahu declared.
“以色列在捍卫自身存续之际,亦是在捍卫众多其代表甫才步出本大厅的国家,”内塔尼亚胡如是说。
"Indeed, I would have you know that numerous leaders of these very countries have even thanked us privately, in gratitude for our having destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons."
“事实上,我愿诸位知悉,这些国家的诸多领导人甚至曾私下向我们致谢,感念我们摧毁了伊朗的核武器。”
As Netanyahu stepped up to the podium, cheers, jeers, and a mass walkout erupted in a heady confluence.
当内塔尼亚胡步上讲台之际,欢呼、嘘声与大规模退场旋即交织迸发。
Dozens of delegates filed out, leaving behind a hall whose seats, as the eye then swept across them, were for the most part starkly empty.
数十名代表列队离席,其后映入眼帘的座位大多空空如也。
"Let us maintain order in the hall," Khalil Rahman, the President of the United Nations General Assembly, reiterated time and again.
“请大厅内保持秩序,”联合国大会主席哈利勒·拉赫曼一再重申。
His speech — delivered as Israel was gearing up for elections, and phrased at times in a manner evocative of a campaign address — came only after a full week in which world leaders, one after another, had spoken out to accuse Israel of genocide and war crimes in Gaza.
他的讲话——时值以色列筹备选举之际,其措辞间或令人联想到竞选演说——乃是在整整一周内世界各国领导人接连发声、指控以色列在加沙犯下种族灭绝与战争罪行之后方才发表的。
The message declared: "This move will send an irrefutable signal to Netanyahu and his government: that no party is willing to lend a helping hand, offer support, or become complicit in their genocide, war crimes, and illegal occupation; and that all peace-loving nations and peoples demand that all of this must be brought to an end."
该讯息宣称:“此举将向内塔尼亚胡及其政府传递一个无可辩驳的信号:没有任何一方甘愿施以援手、予以支持,抑或沦为其种族灭绝、战争罪行及非法占领的共谋;而一切爱好和平的国家与人民,无不要求这一切必须画上句号。”
Israel has repudiated the allegations that it is perpetrating genocide, committing war crimes, and illegally occupying Palestinian territory.
以色列驳斥了有关其实施种族灭绝、犯下战争罪行以及非法占领巴勒斯坦领土的指控。
Even though all Israeli settlements are illegal under international law, the Israeli government nonetheless persists in asserting that they are lawful.
尽管依据国际法,所有以色列定居点均属非法,以色列政府却仍坚称其合法。
When delivering speeches at the United Nations General Assembly, Netanyahu habitually resorts to visual aids to reinforce his arguments; on one occasion he held up a pager, thereby reminding those present that on 17 September 2024, Israel had remotely detonated thousands of pagers distributed to the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant organisation in Lebanon.
内塔尼亚胡在联合国大会发表演讲时惯于借助视觉辅助道具以强化其论述,他曾一度举起一个寻呼机,以此提醒在场听众:2024年9月17日,以色列远程引爆了分发给黎巴嫩境内受伊朗支持的真主党激进组织的数千个寻呼机。
That pager attack left more than 3,000 people injured and claimed 12 lives, among them two children.
此次寻呼机袭击致使3000余人受伤,12人丧生,其中包括两名儿童。
He drew the Assembly's attention to the scale of the October 7, 2023, attack — in which Hamas militants slaughtered approximately 1,200 people.
他提请大会关注2023年10月7日袭击的规模——哈马斯激进分子在那次袭击中屠戮了约1200人。
"This is tantamount to 40,000 innocent Americans being slaughtered in less than 24 hours," he said, or alternatively, 16 times the death toll of the 9/11 attacks, which claimed nearly 3,000 lives in New York.
“这无异于不到24小时内4万名无辜美国人惨遭杀戮,”他说道,抑或是造成纽约近3000人殒命的9/11袭击死亡人数的16倍。
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas likewise addressed the United Nations General Assembly earlier on Thursday; because the United States, for the second consecutive year, had refused to grant him and other senior Palestinian officials visas to attend, he delivered a pre-recorded address from his office in Ramallah.
巴勒斯坦总统马哈茂德·阿巴斯亦于周四早些时候在联合国大会发表讲话;缘于美国连续第二年拒予其本人及其他巴勒斯坦高级官员与会签证,他遂自拉姆安拉办公室发表了预先录制的讲话。
The nonagenarian leader's domestic support and international relevance have both markedly waned.
这位九旬领导人在国内所获的支持与在国外所具有的相关性,均已式微。
Yet in his address, Abbas made it unmistakably clear that he has no intention of quietly acquiescing in a fate of marginalization.
然而阿巴斯在讲话中明确昭示,他无意默然承受被边缘化的命运。
"We shall under no circumstances abandon our homeland.
“我们断然不会离弃我们的家园。
We shall under no circumstances accept displacement.
我们断然不会接受流离失所。
We shall under no circumstances permit anyone to overstep their bounds and decide our future on our behalf," Abbas declared.
我们断然不会容许任何人越俎代庖,代我们决定我们的未来,”阿巴斯说。
"How much longer will certain nations continue to appease Israel with their silence, or persist in supplying it with the very weapons used to slaughter our people?
“一些国家究竟还要对以色列姑息缄默到几时,抑或继续向其输送用以戕害我们人民的武器?
The world has already borne witness to the devastating toll exacted upon the Gaza Strip and the West Bank," Abbas declared.
世界已然目睹加沙地带与约旦河西岸所付出的惨重代价,”阿巴斯说。
"So then, what precisely is the international community still waiting for before it finally acts to safeguard the Palestinian people?"
“那么,国际社会究竟还在坐等什么,方才采取行动以庇护巴勒斯坦人民?”
For the past several years, Netanyahu has used the podium of the United Nations General Assembly both to excoriate the UN for its bias and to affirm Israel's position to leaders from across the globe.
过去数载,内塔尼亚胡借联合国大会讲坛既痛斥联合国之偏颇,又向寰宇诸国领袖申明以色列之立场。
His speech—scheduled specifically for Israel's prime time—was the centerpiece of his brief trip to the United States, a visit that remained shrouded in the shadow cast by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's denunciation of him as a "war criminal" and his call for his arrest.
其演讲——特为以色列黄金时段而设——乃其短暂赴美行程之枢要,而此行始终笼罩于纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼斥其为“战争罪犯”并吁请将其逮捕的阴霾之下。
Israel's isolation amid the war in Gaza has grown increasingly pronounced.
以色列在加沙战争期间所陷入的孤立态势日趋加剧。
The war began on 7 October 2023, when Hamas-led militants launched an assault on Israel that killed about 1,200 people and saw 251 others taken hostage.
这场战争肇端于2023年10月7日,当日哈马斯领导的激进分子对以色列发动袭击,致使约1200人丧生,另有251人遭绑架。
According to the Gaza health ministry, at least 73,922 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive that followed.
据加沙卫生部称,在以色列随后展开的攻势中,至少有73922名巴勒斯坦人罹难。
The ministry operates under the Hamas-run government, and its figures are generally regarded as reliable by the international community.
该部门隶属于哈马斯所管理的政府,其数据在国际社会中被普遍视为可靠。
Although the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas last October curbed the most devastating fighting and secured the release of the remaining hostages, the subsequent steps have since stalled.
以色列与哈马斯于去年10月达成的停火协议虽遏制了最为惨烈的战事,并促成余下人质获释,但此后的后续举措却陷入僵局。
Israel maintains control over the greater part of Gaza and continues to launch airstrikes against Palestinians in the vicinity of its militarily controlled zones.
以色列掌控着加沙大部区域,且持续对军事控制区周边的巴勒斯坦人发动空袭。
Hamas has neither disarmed nor relinquished power, and no progress whatsoever has been made in rebuilding this devastated territory.
哈马斯既未解除武装,亦未放弃权力,而这片满目疮痍的领土在重建方面同样毫无进展。
Israel seized the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the 1967 war, territories that the Palestinians envisage incorporating into the map of their future state.
以色列于1967年战争中占领了约旦河西岸与东耶路撒冷,巴勒斯坦人则意欲将这两片领土纳入其未来国家的版图。
The Palestinians, along with the overwhelming majority of the international community, regard the settlements as illegal, deeming them an impediment to the establishment of a viable and territorially contiguous Palestinian state.
巴勒斯坦人以及国际社会绝大多数成员均视定居点之举为非法,认为其构成了建立一个切实可行且地域连贯的巴勒斯坦国的障碍。
