CNN News:奧巴馬推氣候新政 十六年內欲減排30%

After being held captive for five years, U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is headed home. But the story is far from over. It's first up today on CNN STUDENT NEWS.

被俘虜五年后的美國軍士伯達爾終于可以回家了。但是這個故事還在繼續(xù)。這是我們CNN學生新聞今天首先要報道的。

There are a lot of questions surrounding the prisoner exchange that led to Sergeant Bergdahl's release. We covered a couple of them in yesterday's show. There's also a debate going on about how and why Bergdahl went missing in the first place.

圍繞解救伯達爾所進行的交換俘虜存在很多問題。在昨天的節(jié)目中，我們報道了其中一些。首先就是關于伯達爾如何失蹤以及為什么失蹤的問題。

The Pentagon says it doesn't know why he left his Army base in Afghanistan in June of 2009, but some soldiers in Bergdahl's platoon say he deserted and that at least six U.S. troops were killed while looking for him.

美國國防部稱不知道為什么他會在2009年6月離開陸軍基地，但和他同一排的一些士兵說他擅離職守，而且在尋找他的過程中至少六名美國軍人喪生。

One soldier, a sergeant whom Bergdahl served with criticized the government's decision to secure Bergdahl's release by freeing five Taliban prisoners at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo bay, Cuba. Outgoing White House spokesman Jay Carney says that what matters is that Bergdahl was a prisoner in an armed conflict, and that the U.S. doesn't leave its men and women behind. Bergdahl's recovering in an American military base in Germany. His father says there will be a long process of getting Bowe Bergdahl transitioned back to American life.

有一名曾經與伯達爾一起服役的軍士，批評政府用關押在古巴關塔那摩灣美國軍事基地的5名塔利班囚犯來交換伯達爾的決定。即將離任的白宮發(fā)言人杰·卡尼表示，重要的是因為伯達爾是在一次武裝沖突中被俘的，美國不會置他于不顧的?，F(xiàn)在伯達爾正在德國的一家美國軍事基地接受治療。他的父親表示伯達爾重新回歸美國生活仍需要一個漫長的過程。

Yesterday, President Obama announced an executive order. This is a type of law that doesn't need Congressional approval, and this is a big one. It requires power plants to reduce their carbon emissions by 30 percent by the year 2030. Many scientists blame carbon emissions for damaging the environment.

As president and as a parent I refuse to condemn our children to a planet that's beyond fixing.

昨天，總統(tǒng)奧巴馬頒布了一個行政命令。這是一項不需要國會批準的法律法規(guī)，而且具有很大效力。這項法規(guī)要求發(fā)電廠到2030年將碳排放量減少至30%。許多科學家也指責碳排放會破壞環(huán)境。“作為一名總統(tǒng)和一位父親，我拒絕讓我的孩子在這種無法挽救的星球上生活。”

Critics say this carbon reduction in the U.S. alone won't have much impact on the environment, and there could be some economic consequences as well. For one thing it could force hundreds of power plants that are fueled by coal to shut down.

批評人士稱，僅僅在美國減少碳排放，并不能對環(huán)境起到多大效果，而且可能會給美國帶來不良的經濟后果。首先這可能導致數(shù)百家煤炭發(fā)電廠關閉。

The administration has set out to kill coal, and it's 800,000 jobs. If it succeeds in death by regulation, we'll all be paying a lot more money for electricity if we can get it.

政府已經著手關閉煤炭發(fā)電廠，會有800000人面臨下崗。如果這項規(guī)定使這些煤炭發(fā)電廠成功關閉，那么我們將會為電力的使用付出更多的錢。

Time for the "Shoutout." Which of these words means to give up a position of power? If you think you know it, shout it out. Is it abdicate, advocate, abrogate or adjudicate? You've got three seconds, go!

Top one today. But when a king steps down from his throne, for example, he is abdicating it. That's your answer and that's your shoutout.

又到了大聲喊出答案的節(jié)目環(huán)節(jié)，下面哪個單詞意味著放棄權力呢?如果你知道答案，就大聲喊出來。是abdicate 呢,是advocate 呢，是abrogate 呢，還是adjudicate 呢?你有三秒鐘的思考時間，3，2，1。今天的答案是第一個。舉個例子來說就是，當國王從他的王位上退下來，就是他退位了。這就是今天的答案，這就是本期的大聲喊出答案節(jié)目環(huán)節(jié)。
