凝聚各方力量，緩解氣候危機(jī)

廣東 張 燕

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 25th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 25) in Madrid, Spain,UN Secretary General António Guterres issued an urgent warning about the deepening climate crisis. He said that our planet was nearing“the point of no return”and that all countries should take even more active measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

It has been six years sinceThe Paris Agreementwent into effect in November 2016,but making the climate deal actually operational has proven to be a tough problem. With varying preferences and conditions,it is difficult to provide an accurate assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of climate policies.Thus,it is not surprising that it remains a major concern as to how to provide the financial and technical assistance needed to help poorer nations to deal with the impacts of climate change and pursue low-carbon development.

Although climate change is an issue needing a global solution,challenges like the freerider problem may discourage international cooperation. The effects of climate change vary in different parts of the world. But the benefits of climate policies are diffused (散布的),leading to some countries not sharing the costs, only enjoying the fruits of others' efforts.Moreover, in recent years, the world economy has been affected by several issues such as sluggish（緩慢的）trade and investment flows, as well as monetary loosening by central banks around the world. As a result, the desire for international cooperation on climate change action has been badly reduced.

However, the international community is pushing forward with negotiations in a cooperative and practical way to make positive progress in puttingThe Paris Agreementinto operation and open a new chapter in global climate governance.

Ⅰ.Text-centered chunks

climate crisis 氣候危機(jī)

opening ceremony 開(kāi)幕式

urgent warning 緊急警報(bào)

go into effect 生效

prove to be 結(jié)果是；證明為

push forward 推進(jìn)

Ⅱ.Text-centered sentences

一、介詞短語(yǔ)

With varying preferences and conditions, it is difficult to provide an accurate assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of climate policies. 由于偏好和條件的不同，人們很難對(duì)氣候政策的有效性進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確的評(píng)估和評(píng)價(jià)。

【點(diǎn)石成金】With varying preferences and conditions 意為“由于偏好和條件的不同”，表原因。

【運(yùn)用遷移】這么多孩子在說(shuō)說(shuō)笑笑，我無(wú)法靜下心來(lái)工作。

二、形式主語(yǔ)

Thus, it is not surprising that it remains a major concern as to how to provide the financial and technical assistance needed to help poorer nations to deal with the impacts of climate change and pursue low-carbon development.因此，如何提供所需的資金和技術(shù)援助，以幫助較貧窮的國(guó)家應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化的影響，追求低碳發(fā)展，仍然是一個(gè)主要的問(wèn)題，這一點(diǎn)也不奇怪。

【點(diǎn)石成金】it is not surprising that 中的it 指代that 引導(dǎo)的從句內(nèi)容，表示“如何提供所需的資金和技術(shù)援助，以幫助較貧窮的國(guó)家應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化的影響，追求低碳發(fā)展，仍然是一個(gè)主要的問(wèn)題”，為避免頭重腳輕，用it 指代后面較長(zhǎng)的真正主語(yǔ)，放在主語(yǔ)的位置。

【運(yùn)用遷移】很明顯，這一措施是有效的。
