World Book and Copyright Day is an opportunity to highlight the power of books to promote our vision of knowledge societies that are inclusive, pluralistic, equitable, open and participatory for all citizens. 值此世界图书和版权日，让我们彰显图书的力量，彰显图书在推动面向所有公民且具有包容性、多元性、公平性、公开性和参与性的知识社会愿景方面所发挥的作用。 It is said that how a society treats its most vulnerable is a measure of its humanity. When we apply this measure to the availability of books to those with visual impairments and those with learning or physical disabilities (with different causes), we are confronted with what can only be described as a ‘book famine’. 据说，从一个社会如何对待其最脆弱群体，可以衡量出这个社会的人性。当我们适用这一方法来看待提供给有视力障碍者和（因不同原因）具有学习或身体残障者的书籍时，我们面临着只能被描述成“书荒”的局面。 According to the World Blind Union approximately one in every 200 people on Earth – 39 million of us – cannot see. Another 246 million have severely reduced vision. These ‘visually impaired persons’ or ‘persons with a print disability’ can access an estimated 10% of all written information and literary works that sighted people can read. 据世界盲人联合会称，地球上大约每两百人中就有一人——全球共有 3900 万人——看不见这个世界。另有2.46 亿人的视力非常有限。这些“视障者”或“阅读障碍者”可以接触到的全部书面信息和文学作品，只占能正常阅读人口可支配阅读物的10％左右。 |
