"And so with our eyes on the horizon and our faith squarely placed in one another, let us keep striving; let us keep struggling; let us keep climbing toward that promised land of a nation and a world that is more fair and more just and more equal for every single child of God. Thank you. God bless you and God bless the United States of America."
“因此,让我们放眼未来,让我们彼此以信心相待,奋力向前;让我们不懈拼搏,朝向那片神赐的土地持续攀登,那里是一个对上帝的每一个子民都更公平、更公正、更平等的国度与世界。谢谢各位。愿主保佑你们,愿主保佑美利坚合众国。”
People in Bolivia are voting to choose the country's senior judges. The judicial elections were introduced by President Evo Morales, who says they'll make Bolivia's justice system more accountable. Opposition groups say the reform will politicise judges. Mattia Cabitza reports from La Paz.
玻利维亚人民投票选举国家高级法官,这次司法选举是总统莫拉莱斯引入实行,他说,这将使玻利维亚的司法体系更负责。反对派团体说,这次改革将使法官政治化。Mattia Cabitza在拉巴斯报道。
For the first time, Bolivians are getting a direct say in who will sit in the country's top courts. Judges were chosen directly by politicians before, but now more than five million people will elect them from a list of candidates who were put forward by the Bolivian Congress. The legislative body is dominated by the party of President Evo Morales, and this has prompted calls to invalidate ballots. Many voters are not sure whether the winners of the elections can be truly independent and impartial.
