一九八六年四月二十六日，位於烏克蘭的前蘇聯車諾比核電廠發生爆炸，成為人類史上最可怕的核災事故。30年後，聯合國開發計畫署署長海倫．克拉克（Helen Clark）在30周年紀念日的記者會上發表演說，除了強調當年的災民返鄉無望之外，也說明這個被核災蹂躪過的地區，經濟與民生還在等待新的生機。（黃家慧）The Chernobyl accident was one of the most severe nuclear accidents in history. More than 330,000 people were relocated from the contaminated regions with little prospect of return. The shift in the UN strategy from a focus on humanitarian relief to development assistance was an acknowledgement that the communities of Chernobyl needed economic development and the creation of new livelihoods. Despite the considerable progress, however, more can be done. 車諾比意外是史上最嚴重的核能事故之一，超過33萬人因此遷離受核能汙染的區域，返鄉對這些人來說幾乎是毫無指望。聯合國對於受汙染區的救援策略，從人道救援轉為發展協助，因為眾所公認，車諾比民眾需要的是經濟建設，以及創造新的生計。儘管目前為止有很大的進步，仍有很多事情等著我們去做。 contaminated /knˋtamnetɪd/ a. 弄髒的；受汙染的例句：The cholera outbreak was spread by contaminated water. 受汙染的水源導致這場霍亂。 humanitarian relief 人道救助例句：This organization provides humanitarian relief and sustained development support to the distressed communities in Africa. 該組織提供非洲不幸的民眾人道救助，以及持續建設的支持。 | ||||
