Cisco's Purpose - to Power an Inclusive Future for All - extends beyond connecting people. It ensures that those connections are meaningful and secure - and it empowers every individual to participate in the fabric of their communities, including elections. In this "year of the global election," Cisco's integral role in enabling an informed and empowered society has never been more important.
思科公司的宗旨是爲所有人創造一個包容性的未來。這不僅僅是連接人的目的，而是確保這些連接是有意義和安全的，並授權每個人參與他們所在社區的素材及選舉等活動。在這個“全球選舉之年”，思科在促進知情和賦權的社會中發揮着重要的作用。今年，我們將迎來歷史上選舉數量最多的一年——包括長達多周的印度選舉，美國和墨西哥的總統選舉，以及6月6日至9日舉行的歐洲議會選舉。我們技術對民主過程的積極影響比以往任何時候都更加顯着。
With a historic number of elections this year-including the expansive multi-week process in India, the presidential elections in the U.S. and Mexico, and the collective voice of 27 nations participating in the European Parliament elections taking place June 6 to 9-our positive impact and that of technology on democratic processes is more pronounced than ever.
而對於那些熱衷於與此相關的公司，其作用就更加顯着。
Time to Vote
是時候投票了。
And of course, that starts with us. At Cisco, we believe in the criticality of civic engagement and democratic processes. We are committed to fostering a culture that respects and encourages the active involvement of all employees in civic duties, including voting.
當然，這始於我們。在思科，我們相信公民參與和民主進程的重要性。我們致力於營造一種尊重和鼓勵所有員工參與公民職責的文化，包括投票。
This year, for the first time, Cisco has teamed up with the European Parliament for their "Use Your Vote" campaign to encourage citizens to exercise their civic duty. Our partnership with the EU reflects who we as a company have always been. For example, Cisco offers employees paid time off to vote in elections. Our vision extends beyond the polling station as we think critically about and advocate for the policies that help us fulfill our purpose.
今年，思科首次與歐洲議會攜手推出了“行使你的投票權”的倡議，以鼓勵公民履行他們的公民義務。我們與歐盟的夥伴關係反映了思科一直以來的信念，例如，思科爲員工提供有薪休假以參加選舉。我們的願景超越投票站，我們還在認真考慮和倡導幫助我們實現宗旨的政策。
Ten Tech Policies to Power the Future
十大科技政策推動未來。
Cisco's "Ten Tech Policies to Power the Future" is a call to action for policymakers, industry leaders, and communities to collaborate on using tech as a force for good, safeguarding our shared digital landscape, and fostering an environment where everyone can participate fully in our digital society. Covering everything from AI and cybersecurity, workforce and talent development, connectivity, trade, and sustainability - our brand-new microsite demonstrates the importance of each of these areas and a subset of our specific policy goals.
思科公司的“十項科技政策推動未來”呼籲決策者，行業領袖和社區合作，將技術作爲一種力量來保護我們共享的數字景觀，並營造一個每個人都可以充分參與我們數字社會的環境。從人工智能和網絡安全，到勞動力和人才發展，連通性，貿易和可持續性——我們全新的微網站展示了每個領域的重要性和我們具體政策目標的子集。
These interconnected policies contribute to a resilient, informed, and proactive world. While there is still work to do, we are committed to progress. Evidenced by our global IT skills-to-jobs Networking Academy program, connectivity initiatives, and the recent launch of Cisco Hypershield, we are as committed to promoting digital literacy as we are to global internet access and advancing the state of cybersecurity. Our work advances the goal that all individuals have the right tools and knowledge to make informed decisions and participate in the 21st-century digital economy.
這些相互關聯的政策有助於建立一個有韌性、知情和積極的世界。雖然還有很多工作要做，但我們致力於進步。正如我們全球IT技能到工作網絡學院計劃，連接計劃以及最近推出的思科超級盾證明的那樣，我們在推廣數字素養的同時，也致力於全球互聯網接入和推進網絡安全的狀態。我們的工作促進了每個人都有權利使用正確工具和知識做出明智決策並參與21世紀數字經濟。
Shared Responsibilities: Bolstering Election Security
共同的責任：加強選舉安全。
As the worldwide technology leader that securely connects everything to make anything possible, we aim to provide safe platforms that enable society to function and flourish. In the context of elections, we enable the functionality of democratic systems across the globe-whether it's securing critical infrastructure or providing connectivity that helps voters make informed decisions.
作爲確保安全連接一切，讓任何事情成爲可能的全球科技領導者，我們旨在提供安全平台，以使社會能夠運作和繁榮發展，特別是在選舉的背景下，無論是保護關鍵基礎設施還是提供幫助選民做出知情決策的連通性。
We all have a role to play in ensuring our elections are secure, safe, and free of mis/disinformation, and there are shared responsibilities to ensure the resilience of democratic processes and protect the integrity of our elections. This includes actions we as voters can take to keep ourselves protected - such as practicing good information hygiene. Separately, the public and private sectors must partner to invest in network resilience, facilitate information sharing, and synchronize efforts to address cyber challenges like election security.
我們所有人都有責任確保選舉安全，確保選舉過程的韌性，保護選舉的完整性而不受錯誤信息的影響，這需要我們作爲選民採取保護措施，例如實行良好的信息衛生。此外，公共和私人部門必須攜手投資於網絡彈性，促進信息共享，並協調解決網絡安全挑戰，如選舉安全。
Technology for Good
科技造福人類。
As we approach global democratic milestones, including the European Parliament elections in just a few days, let's embrace the power of technology to foster a well-informed electorate and secure the foundation of our democratic institutions. After all, technology reflects our values, commitment to progress, and unwavering belief in the power of human potential.
當我們面臨全球民主重要一步時，包括在短短几天后舉行的歐洲議會選舉，讓我們擁抱技術的力量，促進廣大選民的認知，以確保民主機構的堅實基礎。畢竟，科技反映了我們的價值觀、致力於進步的承諾和對人類潛力的信仰。
And most importantly, let's move forward with empathy and purpose-using technology to connect us and protect the integrity of every voice in our society. Together, we set the standard for a future where technology truly is a champion for the people and the democracies they build.
最重要的是，讓我們懷有同理心和目的邁向前方，利用科技連接我們，保護我們社會中每個聲音的完整性。這樣，我們將爲人民和他們所建立的民主制度設立標準。
