voice 1: May the fifteenth [15th] is the United Nations International Day of Families. For the year 2005, members of the UN are centring on, 'HIV/AIDS and Family Well Being.' The UN says that the strength of the family has a very important part to play. It is central to how well communities can deal with AIDS and its effects. Strong families are the best defence in the prevention and spread of HIV. Families are also the best defence in caring for infected family members. The UN group said,
声音1：5月15日是联合国设立的国际家庭日。2005年，国际家庭日的主题是“艾滋病毒/艾滋病与家庭福祉”。联合国表示，家庭的力量发挥着重大的作用。其核心是社区如何应对艾滋病及其影响。强大的家庭是预防艾滋病传播的最好方法。家庭也会为患有艾滋病的家庭成员提供最好的支持。联合国表示。

voice 4: 'Families need and deserve assistance and support. Policies and programmes to fight HIV/AIDS must consider families and their communities. They must encourage efforts to care for family members and ensure that they are long term'.
声音4：“家庭需要也应该得到帮助和支持。对抗艾滋病的政策和计划必须考虑家庭和社区。必须鼓励关怀家人的努力，并要确保能长期进行下去。”

voice 1: The International Day of Families encourages people to work together — families, communities, teachers and organisations. Organisers encourage people to work together to educate and strengthen the family. In this way, they can fight HIV and the AIDS disease.
声音1：国际家庭日鼓励家庭、社区、老师和机构团结起来。组织者鼓励人们团结起来，提供教育，巩固家庭。这样他们就能对抗艾滋病。

voice 2: HIV/AIDS is changing what we think of as 'the family.' There are families without a mother. There are families without a father. Men and women may have to learn new skills to act as both mother and father. And there are families headed by children. Polices and programmes on family issues have to consider the new kind of families.
声音2：艾滋病正在改变我们对“家庭”的看法。有没有母亲的家庭。也有没有父亲的家庭。男性和女性必须学会新的方法，既当母亲又当父亲。还有靠孩子支撑的家庭。针对家庭问题的政策和计划必须考虑到新类型家庭。
