By celebrating this Day throughout the world, UNESCO seeks to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright.
通過在全世界范圍內(nèi)發(fā)起“世界讀書日”的活動，聯(lián)合國教科文組織借此推進閱讀、出版和保護知識產(chǎn)權。
23 April: a symbolic date for world literature for on this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo. It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.
4月23日對世界文學而言是很有紀念意義的一天。因為在1616年的同一天，塞萬提斯、莎士比亞和印卡加西拉索（描述拉美古文化的《印卡王室述評》的作者）都去世了。這一天，同樣也誕生或死亡了很多著名作家。所以聯(lián)合國教科文組織選擇這一天作為世界讀書日、以此喚起世界人民對圖書、對作者的尊敬就不難理解了。這一天旨在鼓勵人們、尤其是年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀的快樂，并由此向為人類社會及文化發(fā)展做出過不可磨滅貢獻的作者們致敬。
This year, the World book and Copyright Day will be celebrated in the framework of the International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures.
今年，世界讀書日將會在“國際文化親善年”的主旨下一同開展。
