美国国家公共电台 NPR 联合国世界粮食计划署获2020诺贝尔和平奖

This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been given to the United Nations World Food Program for its efforts to fight hunger and prevent the use of starvation as a weapon of war. The WFP is one of the largest aid organizations in the world. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports it has a reputation for being on the front lines of global crises.

今年的诺贝尔和平奖授予了联合国世界粮食计划署（简称WFP），以表彰其为战胜饥饿和防止将饥饿作为战争武器所作的努力。世界粮食计划署是世界上最大的援助组织之一。NPR的新闻杰森·博宾报道称，该组织以处于全球危机的前线而闻名。

JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE¹: The World Food Program is known for dropping bags of grain out of planes in the midst of famines and airlifting tons of rice into villages destroyed by typhoons. But the work of the organization goes far beyond food. The U.N. calls on the WFP's fleet of helicopters and cargo² planes and boats to move people and supplies into disaster zones. In Bangladesh, the organization literally³ moved mountains, flattening⁴ hillsides to make space for shelters for Rohingya refugees. And day in and day out, they support long-term nutrition programs, including subsidizing local farmers and markets.

杰森·博宾连线：世界粮食计划署在饥荒时空投了一袋又一袋的粮食，还向遭台风摧毁的村庄空运成吨的大米，该组织也因此而闻名。但这个组织的工作绝不仅限于食品领域。联合国呼吁世界粮食计划署的直升机、货机和船只将人员和物资运送到灾区。在孟加拉国，该组织排除万难，为罗兴亚难民提供了避难所。他们日复一日地支持长期营养计划，包括补贴当地农民和市场。

Today, Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, praised the WFP as an instrument of peace for its work to break the cycle of hunger and armed conflict.

今天，挪威诺贝尔委员会主席伯利特·里斯·安徒生称赞世界粮食计划署是和平的工具，致力于打破饥饿和武装冲突的循环。

BERIT REISS-ANDERSEN: Providing assistance to increase food security not only prevents hunger but can also help to improve prospects⁵ for stability and peace.

伯利特·里斯·安徒生：提供援助以加强粮食安全，不仅可以防止饥饿，而且有助于改善稳定与和平的前景。

BEAUBIEN: The World Food Program was founded by the U.N. in 1961 at the request of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The U.S. is the largest donor⁶ to the agency. Last year, WFP trucks, boats and planes delivered food to nearly 100 million people around the globe.

博宾：世界粮食计划署是联合国应德怀特·戴维·艾森豪威尔总统的要求于1961年成立的。美国是该机构最大的捐助国。去年，世界粮食计划署的卡车、船只和飞机向全球近1亿人运送了粮食。

DAVID BEASLEY: We cannot forget about those that are suffering because of war and conflict and climate change.

大卫·比斯利：我们不能忘记那些因为战争、冲突和气候变化而受苦的人。

BEAUBIEN: David Beasley, the former Republican governor of South Carolina, is now the head of the World Food Program. He was excited and shocked to get the news this morning that his agency just won the Nobel Peace Prize. But he added that it's an outrage⁷ that in 2020, people are still going to bed hungry.

博宾：博宾：大卫·比斯利是前共和党籍南卡罗来纳州州长，目前担任世界粮食计划署负责人。今天早上，在得知其机构获得了诺贝尔和平奖时，他既兴奋又震惊。但他补充表示，在2020年，人们仍然饿着肚子上床睡觉，这是令人愤怒的事情。

BEASLEY: And the fact that today in the world that the hunger rate is increasing and the number of people on the brink⁸ of starvation is increasing is an indictment⁹ on humanity. We have to do better.

比斯利：在当今世界上，饥饿率不断上升，濒临饥饿的人数不断增加，这是对人类的一种控诉。我们必须做得更好。

BEAUBIEN: In the humanitarian¹⁰ world, the WFP is highly respected for its speed, efficiency and logistical muscle.

博宾：在人道主义领域，世界粮食计划署因其速度、效率和后勤力量而备受尊重。

JOSE ANDRES: I've been in Mozambique, and I've seen the amazing work that the men and women of World Food Program has done in Mozambique.

何塞·安德烈斯：我去过莫桑比克，我看到了世界粮食计划署的工作人员在莫桑比克所做的令人惊叹的工作。

BEAUBIEN: The activist¹¹ celebrity¹² chef Jose Andres, through his World Central Kitchen, has ended up providing food in some of the same humanitarian crises as the WFP. And he says the agency deserves this Nobel Peace Prize.

博宾：活动人士、名厨何塞·安德烈斯通过他的“世界中心厨房”组织提供食物，与世界粮食计划署共同应对过一些人道主义危机。他说该机构理应获得诺贝尔和平奖。

ANDRES: They saw the amazing work they were doing dropping foods in very remote villages and doing a very good job bringing that food in an organized, systematic¹³ way.

安德烈斯：人们看到了他们在非常偏远的村庄里投放食物的惊人行动，他们以一种有组织、有系统的方式运送食物。

BEAUBIEN: Jose Andres says he hopes this year's Nobel Peace Prize forces politicians and governments to take the issue of eliminating hunger more seriously.

博宾：何塞·安德烈斯表示，他希望今年的诺贝尔和平奖能迫使政治家和政府更认真地对待消除饥饿的问题。
