United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Wednesday named 66 urban settlements（定居点）, including two Chinese cities to join its Network of Creative Cities.
联合国教科文组织于本周三提名了66座城市加入创新城市网，我国有俩座城市入选。
The network brings together（汇聚） cities which base their development on creativity, whether in music, arts and folk crafts（民间工艺品）, design, cinema, literature, digital arts or gastronomy（美食学）, the Paris-based organization said in a statement.
这家总部位于巴黎的组织在一份声明中表示，该城市网络将那些在音乐、艺术和民间工艺、设计、电影、文学、数字艺术或美食等领域具有发展和创意的城市聚集在一起。
Among the network's new members are China's Nanjing (literature) and Yangzhou (gastronomy) in eastern China's Jiangsu province, which "commit to placing culture at the center of their development strategies and sharing their best practices."
该城市网络的新成员包括位于中国东部江苏省的南京(文学)和扬州(美食)，这两个城市都“致力于将文化置于发展战略的中心，并分享了他们的最佳实践成果。”
"All over the world, these cities, each in its way, make culture the pillar（支柱）, not an accessory（附件）, of their strategy. This favors political and social innovation（创新） and is particularly important for the young generations," says UNESCO Director-General （总干事）Audrey Azoulay.
“在世界各地，创新网络的那些城市都用各自的方式，让文化成为其战略的支柱，而不是附属品。这不仅有利于政治和社会创新，而且对年轻一代尤其重要，”教科文组织总干事Audrey Azoulay说。
