环球慢速英语 联合国千年发展目标(7)（在线收听）

One of these pressure groups is called, "Micah Challenge".

其中一个压力集团名为“弥迦挑战”。

The group's name comes from a Jewish prophet in the Christian Bible.

这个集团的名字来自基督教圣经里提到的一位犹太人先知。

Micah declared how God hates it when people are unfair. He said:

弥迦述说了当人们遭遇不公平时上帝有多憎恶。他说：

"God has told us what is right.

“上帝教导我们什么是正确的。

We must act justly and love mercy and follow God with the right heart and mind."

我们必须公正行事，博爱慈悲，用正确的心智追随上帝。”

"Micah Challenge" believes that this message is as true now as it was in bible times.

“弥迦挑战”认为，这一信息现在依然真实，就像圣经时代一样真实。

And the group believes that encouraging governments is necessary to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

该集团相信，为了实现联合国千年发展目标，鼓励各国政府是有必要的。

These goals will bring more justice to the world.

这些目标将给世界带来更多正义。

That is why "Micah Challenge" joined together with many other pressure groups.

这就是“弥迦挑战”和其他众多压力集团联合起来的原因。

They asked thousands of people to come to London for a public protest.

他们呼吁数千名民众前往伦敦进行公开抗议。

They wanted this demonstration to remind governments not to forget their promises.

他们希望这种示威能提醒各国政府不要忘记他们的承诺。
