布宜諾斯艾利斯11月9日（路透）——週一，大批人潮湧入布宜諾斯艾利斯一條主要大道。教宗良在一場戶外彌撒中讚揚南美洲天主教會的力量，這場彌撒吸引創紀錄的250萬人參與；這也是39年來首次有教宗訪問阿根廷。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.

阿根廷民眾沿著解放者大道（Avenida del Libertador）綿延數英里，揮舞白黃相間的梵蒂岡旗，並擠向維安柵欄，只為一睹教宗風采。這是教宗出任全球天主教會領袖18個月以來規模最大的活動。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，教宗搭乘敞篷教宗座車經過這條林蔭大道，沿途「教宗良萬歲！」的呼聲不斷迴盪。這是他為期12天南美洲行程的第二站。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，看到這個地區的天主教徒令他十分高興。南美洲長期以來是教會重鎮，但近來教會在此地的影響力正流失給快速成長的福音派教會。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。這次造訪阿根廷這片土地，讓我在你們臉上看見信仰的熱情。」"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."

人群徹夜露營等候CROWDS CAMP OUT ALL NIGHT

現年71歲的良在接受肺癌手術後不到一個月，便展開這趟雄心勃勃、橫跨3國且有50場活動的行程。他週日抵達阿根廷前曾訪問烏拉圭，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傳教數十年；梵蒂岡形容這趟行程是一次「返鄉」，也是數十年來教宗最艱鉅的海外訪問之一。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".

彌撒前，民眾已在週一清晨聚集。警方封鎖維安區後，市內一些平時熙來攘往的地區幾乎空無一人。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.

朝聖者路線沿途的攤販販售此訪的紀念品，包括印有教宗肖像的旗幟。Vendors along the pilgrims' route were selling souvenirs of the visit, including flags featuring the pope's face.

37歲的克勞蒂亞・帕多（Claudia Pardo）與丈夫和兩名年幼子女一同等待良到來。她說：「我很喜歡（良）來訪。這是獨一無二、具有歷史意義的時刻，我們應該聆聽他的訊息。」"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（Alejandra Frias）為了在第一排看見教宗，徹夜露營後毫無睡意。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：要了解權力界線KNOW LIMITS OF POWER, POPE TELLS MILEI

自1987年以來，教宗未曾造訪以天主教徒占多數的阿根廷。良的前任方濟各在成為教宗後，從未回到他的祖國。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強而有力的聲音，對他所認為的全球領導失靈表達悲嘆。在此次行程中，他敦促南美洲國家為區域合作與耐心外交樹立典範，而非訴諸衝突。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（Javier Milei）發表談話。米雷伊是自由意志主義者，也是美國總統川普（Donald Trump）的盟友；他推動撙節議程，因削減社會服務遭教會強烈批評。教宗敦促米雷伊不要把阿根廷最貧困者作為目標。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.

米雷伊以戲劇化形象與誇張言論聞名；教宗也告訴他，領導人應謹慎用詞，並了解自身權力的界線。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.

教宗在週一的彌撒中，對阿根廷家庭面臨的困難表示悲嘆。他說，他們正承受「不穩定、社會困境、不穩定就業、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."

稍後，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。他在與會者掌聲中說：「經濟……必須服務於人，而不是人服務於經濟。」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帶領世界走向無止境戰爭；他也表達憂慮，認為「未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5名遭天主教神職人員性侵的受害者。教會正試圖在性侵醜聞損害聲譽後修復形象，預計他此行還將舉行數場類似會面。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.

週一彌撒前，良造訪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，希望看見他。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.

接待良的唐奧里奧內小科托倫戈中心（Pequeño Cottolengo Don Orione）宗教主任豪爾赫・西拉內斯（Jorge Silanes）表示，這次訪問具有額外意義，因為米雷伊的支出削減已降低身心障礙福利，而貧窮問題仍普遍存在。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."

良擔任教宗期間此前規模最大的活動是在6月，當時教宗訪問西班牙期間，約有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.
