Accord of Sorts in Copenhagen
An accord, of sorts, in Copenhagen. UNESCO"s Christina Reed:
12月19日，哥本哈根气候变化会议达成了不具法律约束力的《哥本哈根协议》。联合国教科文组织的克里斯蒂娜•里德告诉我们：
"So it got really tense, [Danish prime minister Lars Loekke] Rasmussen had the gavel in the air and said, "It looks like we don"t have a consensus, I hate to do this but," and as he was about to pound, the U.K."s Ed Miliband, negotiator, said, "I call for an adjournment," and so they adjourned, and everyone broke and they adjourned. This short adjournment lasted about two hours, they met off the floor to discuss this a little bit more in person. It was face-to-face arm wringing, it was "let"s get this done, let"s move this ahead." Ultimately it was Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations working very diligently."
"当时气氛非常紧张，丹麦首相拉尔斯•洛克•拉斯穆森提起小木槌说：‘看来我们并未达成共识，我讨厌这么做却不得不如此。"当他准备敲击木槌时，英国谈判代表埃德•米利班德发言说：‘我要求休会。"于是气候大会允许休会，各国代表也休息了一下。此次短暂休会持续了两个小时，代表们在会场外亲自对草案进行着更多的讨论。当时的场面就是每个人都抱臂胸前面对面地讨论，那种场面就好像传递出这样的信息：‘我们来完成这项任务吧。我们一起努力取得些进展。"最终，还是联合国的（秘书长）潘基文最为努力地进行着调解。"
The world"s nations will try to limit postindustrial temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. [Reed:]"It"s not perfect, it"s not a perfect document, several things that they wanted are left out, but they believe it"s a process that"s going to help them move forward, it"s going to start mobilizing the financial agreements, it"s providing a small architecture that can be built."
世界各国将尽量将后工业信息化时代的气温升幅限制在摄氏2度。里德说："这并不理想，这不是个完美的协议，很多代表想要达成的目标并未体现出来。不过他们相信，这是一个将能帮助他们向前发展的过程，也将开始促使金融协议发挥作用，哥本哈根协议提供了一个可以实现的小型架构。"
