　　Part V Translation Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWERSHEET.

　　第 61 题简答 The one thing all children have in common is their rights. Every child has the fight to survive and thrive, to be educated, to be free from violence and abuse, to participate and to be heard. These are innate human rights, as inalienable as those held by adults. But until 1989, these fights were not formally articulated in a legally binding instrument, nor were governments fully accountable to advance these rights for every child. This all changed 25 years ago, on Universal Children's Day, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It rapidly became the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.

　　参考答案：所有儿童共同拥有的东西就是他们的权利。每个儿童都有权利生存、茁壮成长、接受教育、免受暴力和虐待以及参与并发表意见。这些都是固有的人权，就像成年人拥有的那些权利一样不可剥夺。但直到 l989 年之前，这些权利没有得到一项具有法律约束力的文书正式阐明，各国政府也不为促进每个儿童的这些权利充分问责。这一切在 25 年前的国际儿童日发生了变化，当时联合国通过了《儿童权利公约》。《公约》迅速成为历史上获得最广泛批准的人权条约。
