超我的服務當作年度主題
以表示扶輪的持續

2月19日在美國加州阿拿罕國際講習會上，當國際扶輪社長當選人卡爾-威罕．施當恆揭開了2005-06年度主題〝超我的服務〞時，他表示出對過去的百週年的成功最大的敬意。
Rotary International President-elect Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar made a grand bow to continuity and the successes of the past century when he unveiled the 2005-06 theme, Service Above Self, at the International Assembly in Anaheim, California, USA, on 19 February.
〝我願意是現代化的人。但我想要再次循環磨練，同時我也喜歡去促進連續性，〞他在向開幕式全體會議提出年度主題時聲。因此，我選擇國際扶輪曾創造的最好的口號，那你們無法在這間房間牆上找到：〝超我的服務〞。
“I would like to be modern. I would like to recycle and I also want to promote continuity,” he declared in the theme address at the opening plenary session. “Therefore, I have chosen the best motto ever created for Rotary International, yet one that you will not find on the walls of this room: Service Above Self.”
國際扶輪社長當選人解釋之所以會選擇他的主題，也是在開始第二個世紀的服務時為了導引扶輪人里程碑的需要。
The RI president-elect explained that his theme selection was also guided by Rotarians’ need for landmarks while entering into a second century of service.
〝在我們為更好的世界努力工作方面，我們需要一個引領的星辰去追隨，一個能夠讓我們凝聚其上的主題，〞他說到。〝在這些年當中我們有許多不同主題，並且你們能夠在這間房間牆上所展出：剛剛提及之一些年度主題，享受扶輪！做朋友，伸出援手，慶祝扶輪。每一個和每個這些主題之一都是，或者是於其時代都是完美的。
“In our efforts to work for a better world, we need a leading star to follow, a theme that we can all fix upon,” he said. “Over the years we have had many different themes, and you can see several of them displayed on the walls of this room: Enjoy Rotary! Be a Friend, Lend a Hand, Celebrate Rotary, just to mention a few of them. Each and every one of these themes was, or is, perfect for its time.”
為2005 -06年度圖案，施當恆再次提出於扶輪世界裏簡易且熟悉的年度圖案：〝我是再次資源回收，並且我選擇了為國際扶輪曾創造最好的圖案：我們的商標，扶輪輪狀的齒輪。 〞
For the 2005-06 logo, Stenhammar again reached out for something both simple and familiar in the Rotary world: “I am recycling again, and I have chosen the best logo ever created for Rotary International: our trademark, the Rotary wheel.”
為呼籲持續，讓一股新風氣吹入扶輪，施當恆宣稱在新年度扶輪社與地區將繼續於已有的社長的計劃重點：識字與水處理。這些重點將包括附帶著重於〝減輕飢餓與改善所有喪失重要資源的人們的健康和福利。〞
Calling continuity a new wind blowing in Rotary, Stenhammar announced that in the new year Rotary clubs and districts will carry on with the presidential emphases already in place: literacy and water management. Those emphases will include an additional focus of “alleviating hunger and improving the health and well-being of all who are deprived of these essential resources,” he said.
施當恆解釋沒有必要從前社長馬奇約伯與社長艾思悌士兩位所關心的範圍來改變方向，要明智地找出並成功地鼓勵扶輪社與地區去向當地和國際提出。
Stenhammar explained that there was no need to change course from the areas of concern that both Past President Jonathan Majiyagbe and President Glenn Estess Sr. wisely identified and successfully encouraged Rotary clubs and districts to address locally and internationally.
〝多年來，我們的組織一年向北方，下一年度往西，接著向東，然後可能再次向北〞 他說道。〝多年來我們的主要方向必須是相同的。 〞
“Gone are the days when our organization went north one year, to the west the next, followed by east and, then, maybe north again,” he said. “Our main direction must be the same for many years to come.”
社長當選人說道，國際扶輪將繼續尋求和接受彼此休戚相關其他組織合作的機會。
The president-elect said that Rotary International will continue to seek and embrace opportunities to cooperate with other organizations in areas of mutual interest.
從持續一年的百週年的活動期間，扶輪能夠從公眾展現過程中獲得許多的親善。〝因此，我正規劃一個公共形象資源小組以掌握這種機會，並協助扶輪社運用此一平臺於繼續提升我們的公共形像方面的努力。〞施當恆說。
Rotary can reap a lot of goodwill from the public exposure received during the yearlong activities marking its centennial. “Therefore, I am planning for a Public Image Resource Group to capture this opportunity and help clubs use it as a platform in our continued efforts to enhance our public image,” said Stenhammar.
2005 -06社長說是拓展女性在扶輪的角色的時刻。他指出三位指派的前地區總監－第5010地區卡洛琳依•瓊斯擔任扶輪基金會保管委員會委員，第一位女性委派為保管委員會委員；第5230地區瑪麗•麥格利 富萊名擔任新公共形象資源小組主委；第7250地區Eileen M. Gentilcore擔任識字資源小組主委－作為一個好的開始。
The 2005-06 president said it was time to expand the role of women in Rotary. He pointed to the appointments of three past district governors — Carolyn E. Jones, of District 5010, as a trustee of The Rotary Foundation, the first woman appointed to the Trustees; Mary Margaret Fleming, of District 5230, as the new Public Image Resource Group chair; and Eileen M. Gentilcore, of District 7250, as Literacy Resource Group chair — as a good start.
〝請記好，這些女性贏得了她們的任命，那是透過他們的才能，而不是性別。〞 他說道。〝我同意，於我的年度當中，可能委派女性與社員兩性數量相較是不成比例，但經由此一舉，我不但對扶輪中與尚未成為扶輪社員的女性們傳達出一種信息：於我們組織中有屬於妳的領導腳色。 〞
“Please remember very well that it is through their talent, not their gender, that these women have earned their appointments,” he said. “I agree that there might be a disproportionate number of assignments to women during my year, compared to the mix of Rotarians, but by doing this I am sending a message to the women in Rotary as well as those who are not yet Rotarians: There is a leading role for you in our organization.”
施當恆宣稱扶輪青少年交換計劃將會是下屆地區總監於其扶輪社宣導的另關鍵領域。
The Rotary Youth Exchange program will be another key area for the incoming district governors to promote in their clubs, Stenhammar announced.
並提及社員的議題，社長當選人說他會要求每一個扶輪社於2005-06年度，僅僅需招募一位新社員以達成一個總社員數增加31,000位之審慎目標。
To address the issue of membership, the president-elect said that he will ask every Rotary club to recruit just one new member in 2005-06 to reach a modest goal of a total membership increase of 31,000.
