布宜諾斯艾利斯，11月9日（路透社）——週一，大批人潮湧入布宜諾斯艾利斯一條主要林蔭大道。教宗良在一場戶外彌撒中讚揚南美天主教會的力量，這場彌撒吸引創紀錄的250萬人參加，也是39年來教宗首次訪問阿根廷。BUENOS AIRES, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Vast crowds thronged one of the main boulevards in Buenos Aires on Monday as Pope Leo hailed the strength of the Catholic Church in South America at an outdoor Mass that drew a record 2.5 million people on the first papal trip to Argentina in 39 years.

阿根廷民眾沿著自由者大道綿延數英里，揮舞白黃相間的梵蒂岡旗幟，擠在安全護欄旁，只為一睹教宗風采。這是教宗領導全球天主教會18個月任內至今最大規模的活動。Argentines stretched for miles down Avenida del Libertador, waving the white-and-yellow Vatican flag and pressing against security barriers for a glimpse of the pontiff. It was the largest event to date of the pope's 18-month tenure leading the global Catholic Church.

在陽光普照下，教宗乘坐敞篷教宗座車經過這條綠樹成蔭的街道；「教宗良萬歲！」的呼喊聲沿路迴盪。這是他12天南美行程的第二站。Chants of "Long live Pope Leo!" echoed down the tree-lined street as the pope, on the second leg of a 12-day trip to South America, was driven by in an open-top popemobile under sunny skies.

良在講道中表示，南美長期是教會重鎮，但近來正被快速成長的福音派教會搶占地盤，他很高興能看到這個地區的天主教徒。Leo said in his sermon how happy he was to see Catholics in a region that has long been a stronghold for the Church but where it has been losing ground recently to fast-growing evangelical denominations.

教宗說：「能與你們一同慶祝……讓我的心充滿喜樂。我來到阿根廷這片土地，得以從你們的臉上看見你們信仰的熱忱。」"It fills my heart with joy to celebrate… with you," said the pope. "My visit to this land of Argentina has allowed me to see on your faces the enthusiasm of your faith."

人潮徹夜紮營等候CROWDS CAMP OUT ALL NIGHT

71歲的良在接受肺癌手術不到一個月後，展開這趟行程密集、橫跨3國、共50場活動的訪問。他週日抵達阿根廷前先訪問烏拉圭，週三將前往秘魯，並於11月17日返回羅馬。Leo, 71, is on an ambitious 50-event, three-country tour less than a month after undergoing lung cancer surgery. He visited Uruguay before arriving in Argentina on Sunday and will travel on to Peru on Wednesday before returning to Rome on November 17.

這位首位出生於美國的教宗曾在秘魯擔任傳教士數十年；梵蒂岡形容這趟行程是「返鄉」，也是數十年來教宗最吃重的海外訪問之一。The first US-born pope spent decades as a missionary in Peru and the Vatican has described the tour, one of the most demanding foreign tours by a pope in decades, as a "homecoming".

民眾在週一清晨便已聚集，等候彌撒舉行。警方封鎖安全區後，市內部分平時繁忙的區域幾乎空無一人。People had gathered in the early hours of Monday ahead of the Mass. Some normally bustling parts of the city stood near-empty as police cordoned off a security zone.

沿著朝聖者路線，攤販販售這次訪問的紀念品，包括印有教宗臉孔的旗幟。Vendors along the pilgrims' route were selling souvenirs of the visit, including flags featuring the pope's face.

37歲的克勞迪亞・帕多與丈夫及兩名年幼子女一同等待良。她說：「我很高興（良）來訪。這是獨特的歷史時刻，我們應該聆聽他的信息。」"I love that (Leo) is visiting us," said Claudia Pardo, 37, who waited for Leo with her husband and two young children. "It's a unique, historic moment, and we should listen to his message."

56歲的亞歷杭德拉・弗里亞斯為搶到前排位置徹夜露營，一夜未眠。她說：「這是一個情感與靈性的時刻。」Alejandra Frias, 56, was sleepless after camping out all night to get a front-row view of the pope. "This is an emotional and spiritual moment," she said.

教宗告訴米雷伊：要知道權力的界限KNOW LIMITS OF POWER, POPE TELLS MILEI

自1987年以來，教宗未曾訪問天主教徒占多數的阿根廷。良的前任方濟各在成為教宗後，從未回到自己的祖國訪問。A pope has not visited majority-Catholic Argentina since 1987. Francis, Leo's predecessor, never made it back to his home country after ascending to the papacy.

良已成為國際舞台上的強而有力聲音，對他眼中全球領導力的失敗表達哀嘆。在這趟訪問中，他敦促南美各國以區域合作和耐心外交作為典範，而非走向衝突。Leo has emerged as a forceful voice on the world stage, lamenting what he sees as a failure of global leadership. On his tour he has urged South American nations to set an example of regional cooperation and patient diplomacy instead of conflict.

週日，教宗向阿根廷總統哈維爾・米雷伊發表談話。米雷伊是自由意志主義者，也是美國總統唐納・川普的盟友。他推動緊縮政策，因削減社會服務而遭教會強烈批評；教宗敦促他不要把矛頭對準阿根廷最貧困的人。On Sunday, the pope addressed Argentine President Javier Milei, a libertarian and ally of US President Donald Trump. He urged Milei, who has pushed an austerity agenda that the Church has strongly criticized for cutting social services, to not target Argentina's poorest.

米雷伊以戲劇化風格和誇張言論聞名，教宗也告訴他，領導人應謹慎發言，並知道自身權力的界限。He also told Milei, a theatrical figure known for bombastic statements, that leaders should be careful with their words and know the limits of their power.

教宗在週一彌撒中感嘆阿根廷家庭面臨的困難。他說，他們正在承受「不穩定、社會困苦、就業不安定、家庭暴力、痛苦的分離，以及摧毀年輕人未來並傷害家庭關係的成癮問題」。The pope lamented the difficulties faced by Argentine families at the Mass on Monday. He said they are enduring "instability, social hardship, precarious employment, domestic violence, painful separations and addictions that destroy young people's futures and damage family relationships."

稍晚，教宗在與勞工和工會領袖會面時譴責企業貪婪，並敦促以尊重對待勞工。他在現場掌聲中說：「經濟……必須為人服務，而不是人為經濟服務。」Later, in a meeting with laborers and union leaders, the pope decried corporate greed and urged that workers be treated with respect. "The economy … must be at the service of the person, and not the person at the service of the economy," he said to applause from the group.

教宗曾警告，人工智慧可能讓世界走上無止境戰爭的道路；他也表達憂心，稱「不受規範的自動化可能讓無數工作面臨風險」。The pope, who has warned that artificial intelligence could lead the world down a path of unending war, also expressed concern that "unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk."

經濟不是衡量成功的唯一標準ECONOMY NOT ONLY MEASURE OF SUCCESS

良週一也會見了5名天主教神職人員性侵受害者。這是他這趟訪問期間預計舉行的數場類似會面之一；教會正試圖在性侵醜聞重創聲譽後修復自身形象。Leo also met on Monday with five victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, one of several such meetings he is expected to have on his trip as the Church seeks to repair its standing after abuse scandals tarnished its reputation.

在週一彌撒前，良前往布宜諾斯艾利斯南郊一處身心障礙者照護中心，當地也有數千人聚集，希望見到他。Ahead of Monday's Mass, Leo visited a care center for people with disabilities on the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires, where thousands had also gathered in hope of seeing him.

迎接良到訪的唐奧里奧內小科托倫戈中心宗教事務主任荷黑・西拉內斯表示，這次訪問具有額外意義，因為米雷伊的支出削減已使身心障礙福利減少，而貧困仍普遍存在。Jorge Silanes, religious director of the Pequeño Cottolengo Don Orione center that welcomed Leo, said the visit carried added significance because Milei's spending cuts have reduced disability benefits while poverty remains widespread.

良在談話中表示，像他們這樣的中心「對我們的社會有許多話要說，而我們的社會往往只受追求經濟成功所驅動」。Leo said in remarks that centers like theirs "have much to say to our societies, which are often driven solely by the pursuit of economic success."

在良的教宗任內，前一次最大規模活動是在6月，當時教宗訪問西班牙期間，約120萬人聚集在馬德里。The previous largest event in Leo's papacy came in June, when some 1.2 million turned out in Madrid during the pontiff's visit to Spain.
