例16：

　　和平稳定的国际环境是社会发展的前提条件，社会发展与国际和地区安全形势密切相关。

　　Peaceful and stable international environment is the prerequisite for social development，which is closely linked with the security situation of the region and the world at large.

　 不幸的是，在过去的10年里，国际和地区的总体安全形势很不稳定，武装冲突延绵不断，致使许多国家特别是发展中国家无暇集中精力搞建设，更谈不上追求社会发展。

　　Unfortunately, in the past decade international and regional security situation has been highly unstable on the whole, with armed conflicts cropping up now and then, distracting many countries, the underdeveloped members in particular, from economic development, still less social development.

　　因此，努力营造和平的国际和地区环境，遏制冲突，建立公正合理的国际秩序，是各方落实承诺，实现发展目标的必要条件和头等大事。

　　Therefore, striving to create a peaceful international and regional environment, preventing conflicts and establishing a fair/ equitable and reasonable international order stand out as the essential conditions and top priority for all parties to keep the commitments and realize the development goals.

　　俗话说：一千个承诺，不如一个行动。这说明行动的极端重要性。各种政府应首先树立历史责任感和紧迫感，切实落实行动计划以及采取行动所需的机制和资源。

　　As a saying goes, “One thousand promises are not as good as one action.” That means action is extremely important. National governments must have the sense of historical responsibility and urgency to implement solid actions as well as necessary mechanisms and resources for these actions.
