我们正在一场全球大流行病中纪念联合国成立七十五周年。这场流行病夺去了数千人生命，使贸易和商业几乎停顿，并影响了数百万人的生计。本来预计今年将有特别多领导人来总部庆祝本组织成立七十五周年，但第七十五届会议的活动规模相反缩小了，大部分活动虚拟进行。
We are commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the United Nations amid a global pandemic that has cost the lives of thousands, brought trade and commerce to a virtual halt and affected the livelihoods of millions. This year was expected to bring an especially large number of leaders to Headquarters to celebrate the founding of the Organization, but, instead, the events at the seventy-fifth session have scaled down with most taking place virtually.
