"To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect."
“对贫困国家的人民,我们承诺和你们并肩努力,使你们的农田丰产,洁净水涌流,同时让饥饿的身体得到滋补,干渴的心灵得到营养。对于和我们一样,享受丰盛物产的国家,我们说,我们不能再对国土以外受苦的人们漠不关心,也不能以不顾惜的态度消耗世界的资源了。”
