舉世矚目的哥本哈根峰會(huì)正在舉行，氣候問題，尤其是溫室氣體的排放，再次成為全世界的焦點(diǎn)，也非常值得我們這些“雅友”們關(guān)注。結(jié)合氣候問題（環(huán)境問題）是雅思閱讀和寫作重點(diǎn)之一的特點(diǎn)，本人以《泰晤士報(bào)》有關(guān)哥本哈根峰會(huì)的一篇最新報(bào)道為例，同時(shí)輔以詞匯注解和寫作訓(xùn)練題目，特寫了一篇博客與大家交流，希望能給各位在今后準(zhǔn)備雅思閱讀和寫作過程中帶去一些幫助。
需要補(bǔ)充的是，本人不大認(rèn)同報(bào)道中一些有關(guān)我們中國(guó)的新聞事實(shí)，所以還是要請(qǐng)大家更多地從語言的角度去欣賞該英語熱點(diǎn)時(shí)文。

Copenhagen summit: US will not subsidise China on climate change

The United States is willing to pay its fair share towards a multibillion-dollar climate change accord, but would not accept American taxes ending up in China as a result, its chief climate negotiator said today.
注解：pay its fair share 支付屬于自己的份額；multibillion-dollar數(shù)萬億美元； climate change accord 氣候變化協(xié)議；would not accept American taxes ending up in China （意譯）繼續(xù)向中國(guó)征收（碳）關(guān)稅；chief climate negotiator 首席氣候談判代表
Todd Stern, the State Department's climate envoy, briefed reporters after flying in to the Copenhagen climate summit where more than 100 world leaders, including President Obama, are due next week to sign an agreement to cap greenhouse gas emissions and limit the effects of global warming.

The conference has been two years in the making but after three days of talking negotiating positions appear to be hardening. Developing nations are eager to get their share of the bounty are rejecting Western demands that they too should set long-term limits to their carbon dioxide emissions.
注解：are eager to get their share of bounty急于想得到屬于自己的資金優(yōu)待份額；carbon dioxide emissions 二氧化碳排放
Officially, the list of developing nations includes China, which overtook the US as the world's biggest polluter two years ago and now has the world's third largest economy. Brazil is also in the developing countries group known as the G77 – which actually has 135 members – even though it will soon leapfrog Britain in the global economic rankings.

The European union has called for industrialised nations to cut their carbon emissions by 30 per cent on 1990 levels by 2020. But America is promising the equivalent of a 3 per cent cut. China has offered to reduce its carbon intensity – a measure of its industrial efficiency – by up to 45 per cent by the same date, but its total emissions could still soar.
注解：industrialised nations 工業(yè)化國(guó)家；the equivalent of a 3 per cent cut 3%的減排量；carbon intensity碳（排放）密度； a measure of its industrial efficiency 衡量經(jīng)濟(jì)效率的尺度；soar 急劇上升
Beijing's chief negotiator, Xie Zienhua, said today that China was willing to play a constructive role at the talks, but wanted the Americans to do more for an agreement. Between them the two countries account for 40 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
注解：play a constructive role起建設(shè)性作用
"I do hope that President Obama can bring a concrete contribution to Copenhagen," Mr Xie said,
He said that China could accept a target to halve global emissions by 2050 if developed nations stepped up their mid-term targets and agreed to provide financial help to the developing world to fight climate change.
注解：bring a concrete contribution to…給…做出確實(shí)的貢獻(xiàn)
The last point could prove to be a hurdle in Copenhagen given estimates that America is already in hock to China to the tune of about $1 trillion after running huge trade deficits for years.

Mr Stern gave his support to a "quick start" financing scheme backed by Commonwealth leaders last week that would start with annual funding of $10 billion a year to pay for climate change mitigation schemes in the Third World.
注解：Commonwealth leaders 英聯(lián)邦領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人；mitigation schemes 減排計(jì)劃
But he did not expect China to be a beneficiary. "China has a dynamic economy which has led to it sitting on $2 trillion of reserves," he said. "I don't envision public funds, certainly from the United States, going to China."
注解：beneficiary收益人；reserves儲(chǔ)備；envision打算
The American negotiator accepted that American emissions had risen significantly since 1990 and said he was conscious that the US had been historically the biggest carbon emitter, but said that Mr Obama's recent proposals would lead to a significant cut in emissions in the longer term.
注解：emitter排放國(guó)；proposals計(jì)劃、提案

But he pointed to predictions that 97 per cent of the future rise in emissions would come from developing nations, 50 per cent of it from China, which would soon be emitting far more than the United States.
注解：predictions 預(yù)測(cè)、預(yù)言
"The country whose emissions are going up dramatically – really dramatically – is China," he said. "You can't even think about solving this problem without having action from China. Our emissions are pretty much flattening out right now and then they're going down ... It's not a question of morality, just math."
注解：going up dramatically 劇烈上升；flattening out 平穩(wěn)
Mr Stern suggested that the financial side of the deal would become clearer on December 18 – echoing a suggestion from the European Commission's top climate negotiator, Artur Runge-Metzger, that the endgame would be all about money.
注解：endgame最后階段
Asked earlier how much he expected the deal would cost, Mr Runge-Metzger said: "We are simple officials here. Our ministers are coming at the weekend, followed by their heads of state. Do you think they're going to allow us to announce the figures?"
