 TEXT: Global powers convene 1 at the Rio +20 U.N. conference to try to determine a sustainable pathway for global development. A draft text prepared by diplomats 2 this week laid out global aspirations 3, rather than mandatory 4 goals, on issues like food security, water and energy. The U.N. announced that more than 50 governments have launched new energy strategies while private investors 5 have pledged more than $50 billion to global renewable energy initiatives. Greenpeace activists 6 raised a huge polar bear balloon next to Rio's iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, calling for a U.N. resolution that would establish a global sanctuary 7 in the Arctic, banning oil drilling and unsustainable fishing. Meanwhile, Brazil and China signed a handful of trade agreements aimed at boosting investment and commerce flows for the coming decade. Sarah Sheffer, Reuters


参考译文: 世界大国在Rio 召开20国联合国会议,试图为全球发展确定一个可持续途径。本周由各大外交官拟定的一份草案列出了各国的所愿,而不是强制性的要求,主要涉及食品安全,水以及能源问题。联合国宣布,50多个国家已经推出新能源战略,与此同时,私人投资者已经承诺筹资500多亿美元率先发展全球可再生能源。在Rio标志性的基督救世主雕像附近,和平组织活动者升起一个大的北极熊气球,呼吁联合国在北极地区建立一个全球保护区,禁止石油勘探以及非持续性捕鱼。与此同时,巴西和中国签署了一系列贸易协议,旨在未来的十年里促进投资和贸易流通。
