I applaud all people who volunteer each year for the benefit of their communities. I am especially grateful to the 7,700 United Nations Volunteers who support efforts to prevent conflicts, help societies recover from fighting, promote sustainable development, assist in crisis situations and carry out numerous other projects for the greater good. Their work has advanced the Millennium Development Goals, and I am confident they will also contribute to the progress on the post-2015 development agenda.
我赞扬所有每年为社区服务的志愿者。我特别感谢7700名联合国志愿者，他们促进冲突预防，帮助社会摆脱战争，他们推动可持续发展，在危机局势中提供援助，并开展各种项目实现更大的利益。他们的工作推动了千年发展目标，我同样相信他们的工作有助于加快2015年后发展议程的进展。
Founded on the values of solidarity and mutual trust, volunteerism transcends all cultural, linguistic and geographic boundaries. By giving their time and skills without expectation of material reward, volunteers themselves are uplifted by a singular sense of purpose.
志愿服务建立在团结和互信的价值之上，超越所有文化、语言和地理的界限。志愿者奉献自己的时间和才干而不期待物质回报，特殊的使命感使志愿者的精神得到升华。
On this Day, let us renew our determination to offer strength and inspiration to others through volunteerism.
值此国际志愿者日，我们再次承诺，一定要通过志愿服务给人们送去鼓励和力量。
