87.(Applause) One of the reasons why an institution is not in itself enough is that we have to persuade people around the world to change their behavior as well,
(掌声) 但仅仅建立这样的一个机构是不够的, 原因之一就在于我们还需要说服世界各地的人们 改变他们的日常行为,
88.so you need that global ethic of fairness and responsibility across the generations.

95.So another challenge for our generation is to create global institutions that reflect our ideas of fairness and responsibility, not the ideas that were the basis
所以说,面临我们这一代的另一个挑战,就是建立起 全球性的机构,来反映我们公正、负责的观念, 而不是过往几年金融发展最后阶段

不牢靠的地基。
97.Then take development and take the partnership we need between our countries and the rest of the world, the poorest part of the world.
