CNN News:中美雙方就減少溫室氣體排放達(dá)成協(xié)議

又到了“大聲喊話”環(huán)節(jié)了。

Skillful negotiation with other people is best described as what? If you think you know it, shout it out.

形容與他人談判技巧熟練的詞語是什么?如果你知道的話就大聲喊出來。

Is it gerrymandering? Philanthropy? Altruism? Or diplomacy? You`ve got three seconds, go!

是欺騙么?是博愛?還是外交?你有三秒鐘考慮時(shí)間，開始。

You often hear about the diplomacy or tactful negotiation between government officials. That`s your answer and that`s shoutout.

你經(jīng)常會(huì)聽說政府官員之間機(jī)智的談判或者外交談話。這就是你的答案，下面正式進(jìn)入“大聲喊話”。

A lot of diplomacy between the U.S. and China this week. One result, a major agreement between the two countries` leaders on reducing greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane. Most scientists blame greenhouse gases for polluting the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.

本周中美之間簽訂了一系列的外交協(xié)議。其中兩國間最主要的外交協(xié)議是需要為減少溫室氣體，二氧化碳，臭氧和甲烷氣體的排放共同合作。大多數(shù)科學(xué)家指責(zé)稱排放過多溫室氣體會(huì)造成環(huán)境污染和氣候變化。

But critics say, setting limits on greenhouse gases eliminates jobs and hurts the U.S. economy.

但也有批評(píng)人士認(rèn)為對(duì)溫室氣體排放量做出一定限制的話會(huì)減少工作崗位破壞美國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。

Americans emit more greenhouse gases per capita than the people of any of the world`s major economies. China with the population more than four times out of the U.S. emits more greenhouse gases than any country on Earth.

美國人每人溫室氣體排放量超過世界上其他任何主要大國人均排放量。而作為擁有美國人口四倍多的中國人均溫室氣體排放量比世界上任何國家都要多。

Together, they account for about 40 percent of the entire planet`s greenhouse gas pollution.

所以兩國總共溫室氣體排放量是整個(gè)世界排放量的40%。

Visiting Beijing this week, a city infamous for its foul air, President Obama had high hopes.

在本周對(duì)北京的訪問，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)寄予了很高的期望。

OBAMA: I`d like to recall the Chinese saying that reflects the spirit of possibility. Nothing is too difficult as long as people have resolve.

我想借用中國一句形容決心的話來形容，就是，世上無難事只怕有心人。

MANN: But resolve alone may not be enough for the greenhouse gas agreement he struck with China. The deal calls for the United States to build on efforts already under way to cut its carbon emissions with dramatic cuts by 2025. China would be permitted to keep generating more and more emissions until 2030 when its output would be capped. Beijing would also aim to get 20 percent of its energy from zero carbon emission sources like wind or sun by the same year.

Some environmentalists are already praising the agreement, but it won`t be an enormous challenge to both nations.

但是單單靠雙方達(dá)成的溫室氣體排放協(xié)議是不夠的。協(xié)議稱美國需要為減少二氧化碳排放量任務(wù)作出努力，在2025年實(shí)現(xiàn)二氧化碳排放量大幅減少。中國將到2030年，開始減少二氧化碳排放量。也就是在減少二氧化碳排放量的同一年，北京方面需要從風(fēng)能或者太陽能方面獲得20%的能源。一些環(huán)保人士贊揚(yáng)了此協(xié)議的簽訂，但是對(duì)于雙方來講這并不是一個(gè)非常有難度的挑戰(zhàn)。
