王国权献声联合国论坛｜中文日唱响《甜蜜蜜》三国约翰展多元文化

【纽约联合国总部消息】2026年4月20日晚上，恰逢联合国中文日，纽约CUNY Graduate Center5楼灯火通明，Ralph Bunche国际研究所举办的"联合国的起源与未来"（The Origins and Future of the United Nations）新书发布会暨论坛在此隆重举行。国际情歌王子、国际主持人Prince John（王国权）受邀出席，与来自联合国及全球各地的学者、官员共聚一堂，展开了一场跨越文化与语言的深度对话。

一、三国"约翰"同堂：一个名字，三种发音
当晚最富戏剧性的瞬间，莫过于三位名字同为"John"的嘉宾同框合影时的趣味发现——同一个名字，因语言文化不同而呈现出三种截然不同的发音：
• 英语的 John：即Prince John（王国权）本人，标准英语发音为 /dʒɒn/，中文音译为"约翰"；
• 希腊语的 Giannis（Γιάννης）：来自希腊的Grace的同伴，希腊语中"约翰"的标准发音为"雅尼"（Yánnis），是希腊最常见的男性名字之一；
• 西班牙语的 Juan：来自哥伦比亚的联合国官员，西班牙语中"约翰"发音为"胡安"（/xwan/），在拉丁美洲广泛使用。
"这简直是联合国多元文化精神的最好注脚，"Prince John笑道，"我们三个人站在一起，名字写法一样，但说出来完全是三个不同的词。如果算上中文的'约翰'，那就是四种发音了！"

二、美国志愿者Grace：从教堂山到伦敦再到纽约
当晚还有一位令人印象深刻的嘉宾——来自美国的志愿者Grace。她出生于北卡罗来纳州，幼时随父母迁居教堂山（Chapel Hill）——那座因拥有三所知名学府而闻名的学术之城。Grace在英国伦敦完成学业后，又选择回到纽约这片热土，继续追寻自己的国际事务梦想。
当得知Prince John的演出履历——曾先后在纽约市政厅举行个人演唱会，在林肯中心、卡内基音乐厅、哥伦比亚大学、耶鲁大学、联合国总部等顶级殿堂主持演唱过，更在半个月前于林肯中心荣誉主席创立的SEGA剧院，由艾美奖得主、斯坦威艺术家Lance Horne亲自伴奏，献唱法语歌曲时——Grace和在场的朋友们无不惊叹："Amazing！太不可思议了！"

三、哥伦比亚"胡安"：中国通骑单车赴会
令Prince John最为"大跌眼镜"的是，那位来自哥伦比亚的Ralph Bunche国际研究所助理主任竟是骑自行车前来赴宴。更令全场惊喜的是，这位Juan先生曾在中国生活工作四年，甚至还能讲一些普通话，是个地道的"中国通"。

在联合国中文日这个特殊的日子里，这位哥伦比亚朋友对中国文化的热爱显得格外亲切。他选择以最环保、最朴素的方式穿梭于纽约街头，身体力行地践行着可持续发展理念。
"这种低调务实的作风，正是联合国精神的最好诠释，"Prince John感慨道，"他骑的不是自行车，是对地球的责任感。"

四、中文日献唱《甜蜜蜜》：文化传播的甜蜜时刻
恰逢联合国中文日，现场气氛在文化交流中推向高潮。朋友们热情邀请Prince John演唱中国歌曲，大家最想听的正是那首经典之作——《甜蜜蜜》。
Prince John欣然应允，一曲《甜蜜蜜》悠扬响起，熟悉的旋律瞬间拉近了东西方心灵的距离。Grace与在场各国友人无不沉醉其中，感到"特别的美妙"、"魅力无穷"，掌声雷动。
当得知这首歌唱完后，Grace兴奋地与Prince John亲切合影，赞叹中华文化在这个国际舞台上绽放出的温柔光芒。

"能在联合国中文日，用歌声传播中国文化，这是我作为华语歌手最大的荣幸，"Prince John表示，"音乐无国界，甜蜜共分享。"

五、学术盛宴与热情交流
本次活动由Ralph Bunche国际研究所所长John Torpey主持，汇聚了多位联合国研究领域的顶尖学者：
• Lukas Haynes（RBI访问学者）：分享其新著《Peace Through Power: FDR's Military Leaders and the Pragmatism of the UN Charter》，探讨罗斯福军事领导人与联合国宪章的务实主义精神；
• Tapio Kanninen（RBI高级研究员）：介绍其新作《Revitalizing the United Nations: Making and Keeping the Peace》，为联合国改革与和平维护提供新思路；
• Richard Gowan（国际危机组织）与Stephen Schlesinger（世界政策研究所，退休）担任评论嘉宾，引发热烈讨论。

论坛结束后，主办方还精心安排了葡萄酒与奶酪招待会，与会者在轻松氛围中继续交流。来自不同国家、不同背景的朋友们热情似火，话题从联合国改革延伸至文化差异、个人经历，气氛融洽而热烈。

结语

从希腊的"雅尼"到哥伦比亚的"胡安"，再到中国的"Prince John"，一个名字的三种发音，折射出联合国所倡导的多元、包容与对话精神。那位曾在中国生活四年、骑车赴会的哥伦比亚官员，展现了对中国文化的真挚热爱；从美国教堂山到伦敦再回纽约的志愿者Grace，代表着新一代国际青年的追梦足迹；而联合国中文日里一曲《甜蜜蜜》的唱响，更让中华文化在这个国际舞台上绽放出温柔而持久的光芒。

正如Prince John王国权所言："今晚收获的不仅是知识，更是对'和而不同'的深刻体悟，以及用歌声连接世界的甜蜜。这，就是联合国的魅力所在。"
Prince John Attends UN Forum, Sings "Sweet Honey" on Chinese Language Day
Three "Johns" from Three Nations: A Celebration of Multiculturalism
[New York, April 20, 2026] On the occasion of the United Nations Chinese Language Day, the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center (5th Floor) hosted "The Origins and Future of the United Nations" — a book launch and forum that brought together scholars, UN officials, and global citizens. International Prince of Love Songs and host Prince John (Wang Guoquan) was invited to attend, engaging in a profound cross-cultural dialogue.

I. Three "Johns" from Three Nations: One Name, Three Pronunciations
The evening's most delightful discovery came when three guests named "John" posed for a photo together — the same name, yet three entirely different pronunciations across languages:
• English John: Prince John himself, pronounced /dʒɒn/ in standard English;
• Greek Giannis (Γιάννης): The companion of Grace from Greece, where "John" is pronounced "Yánnis" — one of the most common male names in Greece;
• Spanish Juan: The UN official from Colombia, where "John" is pronounced "Hwan" (/xwan/), widely used across Latin America.
"This is the perfect footnote to the UN's spirit of multiculturalism," Prince John remarked with a smile. "The three of us stand together with the same written name, yet it sounds like three completely different words. If you count the Chinese 'Yuēhàn,' that's four pronunciations!"

II. American Volunteer Grace: From Chapel Hill to London to New York
Another memorable guest was Grace, an American volunteer. Born in North Carolina, she moved with her parents to Chapel Hill — a city renowned for its three prestigious universities. After completing her studies in London, UK, Grace returned to New York to pursue her passion for international affairs.
Upon learning of Prince John's performance credentials — solo concerts at New York City Hall, hosting and performing at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Columbia University, Yale University, and the UN Headquarters, and most recently, just two weeks ago at the SEGA Theater (founded by the Honorary Chairman of Lincoln Center), where he sang French songs accompanied by Emmy Award winner and Steinway Artist Lance Horne — Grace and those present were astounded: "Amazing! Simply incredible!"

III. Colombian "Juan": A China Hand Who Biked to the Event
What most surprised Prince John was that Director assistantof the Ralph Bunche Institutearrived by bicycle. Even more remarkably, this Juan had lived and worked in China for four years and could speak some Mandarin — a true "China hand."
On this special Chinese Language Day, his affection for Chinese culture felt particularly heartwarming. Choosing the most eco-friendly and humble way to navigate New York's streets, he embodied the sustainable development principles in action.

"This low-key, pragmatic style is the best interpretation of the UN spirit," Prince John reflected. "He wasn't riding a bicycle — he was riding a sense of responsibility for our planet."

IV. Singing "Sweet Honey" on Chinese Language Day: A Cultural Bridge
As the Chinese Language Day celebrations reached their peak, friends eagerly invited Prince John to perform a Chinese song. The unanimous request was for the timeless classic — "Sweet Honey" (《甜蜜蜜》).
Prince John Wang Guoquan graciously obliged. As the melody flowed, it instantly bridged East and West. Grace and the international guests were utterly enchanted, describing the performance as "especially wonderful" and "infinitely charming," with thunderous applause filling the room.
After the song, Grace excitedly took photos with Prince John, marveling at how Chinese culture shone so gently yet powerfully on this international stage.

"To spread Chinese culture through song on UN Chinese Language Day is the greatest honor for me as a Chinese singer," Prince John said. "Music knows no borders; sweetness is for all to share."

V. Academic Feast and Warm Exchanges
The event was moderated by John Torpey, Director of the Ralph Bunche Institute, featuring leading UN scholars:
• Lukas Haynes (RBI Visiting Scholar): Presenting his new book Peace Through Power: FDR's Military Leaders and the Pragmatism of the UN Charter;
• Tapio Kanninen (RBI Senior Fellow): Introducing Revitalizing the United Nations: Making and Keeping the Peace;
• Richard Gowan (International Crisis Group) and Stephen Schlesinger (World Policy Institute, retired) serving as commentators.
Following the forum, a wine and cheese reception allowed guests to continue conversations in a relaxed atmosphere. Friends from diverse backgrounds discussed everything from UN reform to cultural differences and personal stories, creating a warm and vibrant exchange.
Conclusion

From the Greek "Yánnis" to the Colombian "Juan" to the Chinese "Prince John," one name with three pronunciations reflects the diversity, inclusivity, and dialogue that the United Nations champions. The Colombian official who lived in China and biked to the event demonstrated genuine affection for Chinese culture. Grace, the volunteer from Chapel Hill to London to New York, represents the dreams of a new generation of international youth. And the singing of "Sweet Honey" on Chinese Language Day allowed Chinese culture to glow with gentle yet enduring brilliance on the world stage.

As Prince John Wang Guoquan put it: "Tonight's harvest was not only knowledge, but a profound understanding of 'harmony in diversity,' and the sweetness of connecting the world through song. This is the charm of the United Nations."
