rén lèi人类yǐ jīng已经dēng shàng登上yuè qiú月球,fā míng发明le了rén gōng zhì néng人工智能,yě也néng能zhì liáo治疗xǔ duō许多guò qù过去huì会duó zǒu夺走shēng mìng生命de的jí bìng疾病。

Humanity has already landed on the moon, invented artificial intelligence, and can treat many diseases that once took lives.

kě shì可是,zhàn zhēng战争、yā pò压迫、tú shā屠杀hé和liú lí shī suǒ流离失所réng仍zài在shì jiè gè dì世界各地fā shēng发生。

Yet wars, oppression, massacres, and displacement are still happening around the world.

kē xué科学jìn bù进步le了,bìng并bù不biǎo shì表示rén人de的dào dé道德yě也huì会yì qǐ一起jìn bù进步。

Scientific progress does not mean that human morality will progress along with it.

dòng wù动物tōng cháng通常wèi le为了shēng cún生存ér而gōng jī攻击bié de别的dòng wù动物,rén lèi人类què却kě néng可能wèi le为了quán lì权力、tǔ dì土地、jīn qián金钱huò或mǒu zhǒng某种sī xiǎng思想shǐ yòng使用bào lì暴力。

Animals usually attack other animals in order to survive, but humans may use violence for power, land, money, or a certain idea.

yīn wèi因为rén人néng gòu能够sī kǎo思考hé和xuǎn zé选择,suǒ yǐ所以yě也yào要wèi为zì jǐ自己de的xíng wéi行为fù zé负责。

Because people can think and choose, they must also take responsibility for their actions.

guó jì国际zǔ zhī组织hé和guó jì fǎ yuàn国际法院běn lái本来yào要zǔ zhǐ阻止zhàn zhēng战争、bǎo hù保护rén quán人权,dàn但tā men它们cháng cháng常常shòu dào受到dà guó大国lì yì利益yǐng xiǎng影响,yě也xū yào需要gè guó各国hé zuò合作cái néng才能xíng dòng行动。

International organizations and international courts are meant to prevent wars and protect human rights, but they are often influenced by the interests of major powers and also need the cooperation of countries in order to act.

dāng当qiáng guó强国huò或tā men它们de的péng yǒu朋友juǎn rù卷入chōng tū冲突shí时,guī zé规则gèng更nán难gōng píng公平zhí xíng执行。

When powerful countries or their friends are involved in a conflict, it is harder to enforce the rules fairly.

yì shù jiā艺术家、zuò jiā作家hé和yīn yuè rén音乐人yě也néng能yòng用zuò pǐn作品zhī chí支持hé píng和平、zì yóu自由hé和rén人de的zūn yán尊严。

Artists, writers, and musicians can also use their work to support peace, freedom, and human dignity.

shì jiè世界bìng并bù不quē shǎo缺少kē jì科技hé和lì liàng力量,zhēn zhèng真正quē shǎo缺少de的kě néng可能shì是bǎo hù保护tā rén他人de的jué xīn决心。

The world does not lack technology or power; what it may truly lack is the determination to protect others.

zhǐ yǒu只有bǎ把rén人de的shēng mìng生命fàng放zài在zhèng zhì政治lì yì利益zhī shàng之上,kē xué科学jìn bù进步cái才huì会dài lái带来gèng更hǎo好de的shì jiè世界。

Only when human lives are placed above political interests will scientific progress bring about a better world.
