Be Smart ? Protect Yourself
用智慧保护自己
German Star Footballer Michael Ballack Accepts Appointment as UNAIDS Special Representative德国球星巴拉克担任联合国抗艾特使
编者按：06世界杯，巴拉克领衔的德国队与大力神杯擦肩而过。然而在球迷们心中，他们的"巴拉小熊"依然是当之无愧的王者。球场上的巴拉克勇猛顽强，是全队的核心，德国的灵魂；球场外，他的微笑又是如此善良淳朴、充满朝气。无论在哪里，无论做什么，巴拉克展现给人们的永远都是：阳光、向上、关怀。
Michael Ballack is known and admired across the world for his football skills but now Michael is going for a new goal in his career ? reaching out to young people around the globe and helping them to make the right choices in their lives by speaking about HIV prevention in a new UNAIDS public service announcement (PSA).
米歇尔·巴拉克的球技众所周知，享誉世界；不过现在的他正在追求新的职业目标：通过在联合国艾滋病规划署的公共服务宣言中发表关于预防艾滋病的讲话，帮助世界各地年轻人在人生道路上做出正确的选择。
The PSA, generously produced by Al Jazeera, was filmed at Chelsea Football Club's famous football ground Stamford Bridge, where Michael has been playing since his move from Bayern Munich in 2006.
这一宣言由半岛电视台赞助制作，在切尔西足球俱乐部著名的足球基地斯坦福德桥拍摄而成。米歇尔·巴拉克自2006年从拜仁慕尼黑转会至切尔西后，就一直在此效力。
Michael is helping people to make the smart choices and to help prevent the spread of HIV by appearing in the 30 second clip for UNAIDS. His message plays on sporting metaphors: "On the pitch you can play hard and take risks to score. But with HIV you are playing with your life ? Be smart ? protect yourself."
米歇尔通过这个30秒的剪辑，帮助人们做出明智的选择，预防艾滋病的蔓延。他借用体育运动的隐喻，传递了这样的信息："在球场上，你可以不择手段，冒着一切风险进球。不过面对艾滋病，你是在拿自己的生命冒险。明智抉择--保护你自己！"
During the video, Ballack delivers key HIV prevention messages while demonstrating the footballing skills he is so famous for on the pitch. AIDS statistics are displayed on the stadium's big screen: "During the course of a 90 minute football match more than 500 people will have died of AIDS, 180 under 25 years old." After reading the statistics, Michael switches from player to referee: blowing his whistle, shaking his head and rather than holding out a red card, he holds up a red condom. The message is: this epidemic must stop and there is one very simple way ? HIV prevention!
视频中，巴拉克展示了他闻名遐迩的球技，同时也传达了重要的防艾讯息。有关艾滋病的统计数据显示在赛场大屏幕上："在一场足球比赛的90分钟内，就有超过500人死于艾滋病，其中，180人在25岁以下。"迈克尔读完这些数据以后，从球员的身份切换为裁判：吹响哨子，摇了摇头，不过他掏出的不是一张红牌，而是一枚红色（包装）的安全套。其中的寓意是：这种传染病必须被遏制，而最简单的途径就是：艾滋病预防！
According to UNAIDS, the global AIDS epidemic is one of the worst crises affecting the world today. It is likely to have the most severe impact on children and young people. Around half of all new HIV infections are in children and young people under 25. Every minute a child dies of an AIDS-related illness and every minute a child becomes infected with HIV.
据联合国艾滋病规划署称，艾滋病在全球的蔓延已经成为当今世界最严重的危机之一。儿童和年轻人极有可能首当其冲。在新近感染艾滋病的人群中，约有半数是儿童和不满25岁的年轻人。每分钟都会有一名儿童死于与艾滋有关的疾病，每分钟都会有一名儿童感染艾滋病病毒。
