视频中英文全文如下:
你好! I’d like to introduce myself to you as 马跃然, which is Göran in Chinese or at least I hope it is. Thank you for inviting me to be here with you today and please accept my congratulations on holding the Fourth Forum for Creative Application of Chinese Domain Names. It is impressive to see so many industry experts gathered at this conference to talk about international domain names or IDNs and universal acceptance.
大家好!首先请允许我做个自我介绍,我的中文名字叫马跃然,或者至少我希望如此。感谢邀请我今天与你们在一起,并请接受我对第四届中文域名创新应用论坛召开的祝贺。让人印象深刻的是,如此多的行业专家齐聚本次会议,讨论国际域名(简称IDN)以及普遍接受。
Your accomplishments of the past few years has been remarkable essential to enabling a multilingual Internet. The Internet continues to evolve. What is fantastic about the Internet is that it's global and connects people around the world. But the real power of the Internet is how we use it to connect locally.
在过去的几年中,你们取得的成就对多语言互联网的发展至关重要。互联网在不断发展。互联网的奇妙之处在于它具有全球性并将世界各地的人们联系在一起。但互联网的真正力量在于我们如何使用它来进行本地化的连接。
Today there are more than five billion users on the Internet which billions more to come. Yet, there are only one thousand, two hundred and eighty-eight top level domains. And the majority of which are in English. Someone told me there are more than seven thousand languages in the world. And we have an opportunity and responsibility to make the Internet more accessible for more people around the world.
如今互联网上有超过50亿的用户,未来还将有数十亿。然而,目前只有1288个顶级域名,而且大部分都是英语的。有人告诉我世界上有超过7000种语言。我们有机会也有责任让全世界更多的人更轻松地访问互联网。
As President and CEO of ICANN org, my view is also responsibility to enable systems that would make it easier for those people to access the Internet and connect with each other. People should be able to be online using their own language, their own script, their own keyboard, their own story.
作为ICANN组织的总裁兼首席执行官,我认为有责任建立一套系统,使人们更轻松地访问互联网并相互联系。人们应该能够在网上使用他们自己的语言,自己的文字,自己的键盘和自己的故事。
In the next coming years, we will again expand the number of TLDs in the DNS. It’s our hope and intention that many of these New TLDs will be in local scripts. Having identifiers, IDNs to be specific, in local languages/scripts creates the potential to bring millions of people to the Internet and allow them to communicate in their native language with family, friends, municipalities, and more.
在接下来的几年里,我们将再次扩大DNS中的顶级域名的数量。我们希望和意图是有很多的新顶级域名将使用本地语言。使用本地语言/文字的标志符,也就是IDNs, 创造了将数百万人带入互联网的潜力,并使他们能够用自己的母语与家人、朋友、当地居民等进行交流。
However, true universal acceptance, we have to make sure that all existing and new domain names work seamlessly in all Internet-enabled applications. And in keeping with ICANN’s remit, we need to coordinate security, stability and resiliency of the DNS and of the Internet, including new names are introduced.
但是,真正的普遍接受是,我们必须确保所有现有域名和新域名在所有互联网应用程序中都能无缝运行。并且为了与ICANN的使命保持一致,我们需要协调域名系统和互联网的安全性,稳定性和弹性,包括引入新的名称。
The work done to develop the Label Generation Rules is a key step in this process. I track progress in this areas regularly. China is clearly a leader in making a multilingual Internet into a reality and I thank you for your efforts.
制定标签生成规则的工作是此过程中的关键步骤。我定期跟进这方面的进展。中国显然是将多语言互联网变为现实的领导者,我感谢你们的努力。
But there is more to do. I encourage you to keep pushing forward. Me and my staff is here to support you directly, and through the many important initiatives taking place for the Universal Acceptance Steering Group. The work you're doing is essential to make the Internet work for everyone, expanding choice and enabling the innovative opportunities we have not even imagined.
但还有更多工作要做。我鼓励您继续向前推进。我和我的员工会在这里直接向您提供支持,也会通过普遍接受指导小组(UASG)提出的许多重要倡议提供支持。你们所做的工作对于使所有人都能使用互联网至关重要,这扩大了我们的选择,创造了我们从未想象过的创新机会。
In closing, universe acceptance is the key to bring the next billion users online. It’s not only one of my personal pet projects, but also one of the reasons I am actually working for ICANN. It's not only important to me but important to the organization as a whole and the board which is why IDNs and universal acceptance are key areas of focus in the current five-year strategic plan.
最后,普遍接受是下十亿用户上网的关键。这不仅是我个人最喜欢的项目之一,也是我为ICANN工作的原因之一。这不仅对我很重要,对整个ICANN组织和理事会也很重要,这就是为什么IDN和普遍接受是我们当前的五年战略计划的关键重点领域。
I hope we can meet face-to-face in not too distant future, until then, know that your work makes a difference and please keep doing what you're doing. Stay safe, my friends.
我希望我们能在不久的将来见面,在那之前,请记住你们的工作很重要并请继续从事你们正在做的事情。注意安全,我的朋友们。
