【大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网10月27日讯】以下是英国剧作家天慈‧敏特（Tinch Minter)为英国伦敦人权圣火传递仪式写的一首诗《这火炬是一道金光》。

这火炬是一道金光

这火炬是一道金光
向全世界传递着信息
燃烧着正义的火焰
迸射着真理的光芒
带着尊敬和理解的力量
与邪恶的势力搏斗

这火焰诉说着真理
乌云难蔽日
邪不能压正
善恶终有报
施暴者必须偿还
恶势力终将败亡

这火炬散发着温暖
照亮黑暗中的灵魂
抚慰酷刑后的伤痕
选择了真、善、忍的人们
从中汲取着坚持的力量

这火焰代表着我们的爱
穿过暗夜传到阴冷的牢房
给痛苦的人以勇气
给衰弱的人以力量
给哀伤的人以安慰
以光亮对抗最后的黑暗

这火焰警示着世人
那些否定人类正义的人
那些压制自由权利的人
那些以酷刑残害他人的人
那些杀害善良生命的人
必将被钉在历史的耻辱柱上

这火炬是我们的武器
对抗那些压制言论的打手
那些躲避真理的懦夫
那些崇尚强权的小人
那些挥舞警棍的暴徒
还有那些盗取器官的屠夫

当我们点燃这熊熊的圣火
我们知道真理必将胜利
正义必将伸张
当我们传递这光明的圣火
我们知道这星火将燃遍世界
为了人类的自由与尊严

This Torch is a light to throw

This torch is a light to throw
Its message throughout the world
Blazing with the fire of justice,
Burning with the glow of truth
Bright with the might of mutual respect,
In this fight against the forces of evil.

This flame is a statement of fact
That we all judged by each act
That the truth can not be dimmed,
That the wicked shall never win
That torture shall not be rewarded
And that force shall finally fail.

This torch is a flame to reach out
To those who have chosen truth,
Compassion and tolerance,
To those who are kept in the dark
To those who are under the lash
To those who are being thrashed.

This flame is a message of our love
In the darkness of the torture cells.
It sends courage to those who suffer
It sends strength to those who are weakened
It sends comfort to those who mourn
It sends light to defy the darkness.

Through this flame we send knowledge
That those who deny human justice
That those who defy rights of freedom
That those who maim and torture
That those who snuff out honest lives
Shall not win the race of honour.

And this torch is our weapon
Against those who gag others
Against those who hide from the truth
Against those who think might is right
Against those who wield batons
And against those who steal organs.

As we light this symbol of truth
Knowing that truth will conquer,
Knowing justice will be done
We send forth this torch of power
This power to set the world alight
In the fight for human rights.
