【英音模仿秀】气候问题仍严峻 全球城市齐努力

模仿文本： The problems of climate change remain of course, but with Kyoto, Copenhagen and the other international conferences failing to cement worldwide accords, the focus has rather switched elsewhere, and some of it to world's cities. They after all have rather smaller governments but nonetheless a significant influence over the businesses and swelling¹ populations that live within them.

 

译文：气候变化的问题当然仍然存在，但是因为在京都、哥本哈根以及其他国际会议都没能达成全球一致，问题的焦点就已经转换到了别的地方，有的转到了世界的各个城市。它们的政府规模虽然较小，但对其商业和居住其中的膨胀的人口有着巨大的影响。
