【我的总结与翻译】

"If we meet our goals in education, we will not just transform those children's lives for good. By consigning childhood illiteracy to history we will help make poverty history too."

“如果我们实现了我们的教育目标，我们不仅仅使得这些孩子的生活往好的方面发展。通过将儿童文盲归入历史，我们也将有助于改变贫穷的历史。”

As British treasury chief in 2006, Mr. Brown pledged $15 billion over 10 years for education in the developing world. Last month, Britain and France each agreed to support the education of 8 million children in Africa by 2010.

布朗先生在2006年还是英国财政部长时，他就承诺在10年内将为发展中国家的教育投资150亿美元。上个月，英法两国都同意资助非洲800万名儿童的教育，直至2010年。

Britain's commitment in this area dwarfs that of the United States, whose funding for global education aid is $465 million a year. Shakira will meet with U.S. lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday to try to persuade them to pass a bill, which members of both parties have endorsed, to increase U.S. aid for education in developing countries to $3 billion a year by 2012. The Education For All Act was introduced last May, but has not passed either house of Congress.

英国在这方面的承诺使得美国相形见绌，美国每年对援助全球教育的基金是4.65亿美元。周二，Shakira将于美国的立法者会面，想设法说服他们通过一项议案，以将对发展中国家的教育援助增加到30亿美元，该议案已得到两党的认可。“全发教育法”于去年5月份提出，但参、众两院均未同意。

Another event sponsored by the Global Campaign for Education this week will have an estimated 5 million students from more than 100 countries taking part Wednesday in an effort to break the world record for the largest simultaneous lesson.

本周，“全球教育运动联盟”发起了另一个活动，据估计，在周三将有来自100个国家的500万名学生来参加，以试图打破同时上课人数最多的世界。
