Message on the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 世界道路交通事故受害者纪念日致辞 20 November 2016 2016年11月20日 Today, like every day, more than 3,400 people will lose their lives on the world’s roads – many of them young men and women at the start of their adult lives. The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is a time to reflect on this tragic loss of life. 今天与每天一样,世界各地的道路上将有3400多人丧生——其中许多人都是刚刚步入成年的青年男女。世界道路交通事故受害者纪念日就是对这种惨痛生命损失进行反思的时刻。 It is also a time to scale up action to prevent these deaths, and the countless injuries. That means improving the quality and safety of roads and vehicles, preventing speeding and drunk driving, and vigorously promoting the use of seat-belts, motorcycle helmets and child car seats. 此时还应加大行动力度,预防道路交通事故所造成的死亡和无数人的受伤。这意味着要提高道路和车辆的质量和安全性,防止超速和酒后驾车,并大力推动使用安全带、摩托车头盔和儿童车用座椅。 We must also focus on post-crash response, the theme of this year’s World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We can save lives and reduce disability by providing timely emergency care, better medical treatment and psychological support, and early rehabilitation for the injured. |
