【英音模仿秀】拯救非洲

 模仿文本： But first today a serious concerted effort to alleviate¹ hunger, poverty and malnutrition² to promote food security for a continent or a new scramble³ for Africa, a flimsily disguised outbreak of 21st century colonialism. Two sharply contrasting views of an initiative, which was launched two years ago, under the auspices⁴ of the G8, the so-called New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition.

 

译文：今天首先来看一项为缓解非洲饥饿、贫穷以及营养不良而发起的协同计划。该计划旨在加强非洲的食品安全，但也可以被看作是一场对非洲的抢夺战，一种掩饰得并不十分高明的21世纪新型殖民主义的爆发。以上是对两年前在G8峰会支持下发起的“食品安全和营养新联盟”的两种截然不同的看法
