These goals include halving the proportion of the world’s people living in poverty and ensuring that children everywhere receive a full primary education. Since that meeting in 2000, the commitments made by most nations have fallen short of what is required, and 2015 is now only six years away.
这些目标包括减少世界上一半生活在贫困中的人口，并确保世界各地的儿童享受全程初级教育。自2000年那次会议以来，大多数国家所已作出的努力，都没有达到对它们的要求，而现在离2015年只有6年的时间了。
