Climate change and trade figure prominently on this second day of the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy as leaders of the world's most powerful economies expand talks to take in counterparts and representatives of major emerging economies.
气候变化和贸易问题成为这次在意大利拉奎拉市举行的工业化8国集团峰会第二天日程的重点内容，因为，这一天世界最有影响力经济体的领导人将扩大会谈的范围，吸收主要新兴经济体的领导人和代表加入讨论。
Summit host, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi welcomed world leaders for a second day of discussions in L'Aquila.
这次峰会的东道主意大利总理贝卢斯科尼(Silvio Berlusconi)欢迎世界领导人参加在拉奎拉举行的第二天讨论。
The agenda items are much the same - the global economic crisis, the environment, climate change and trade. But, Thursday's talks were expanded from the G8 group to include the so-called G5 nations of major emerging economies - China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico. But others were invited to the table as well, along with international organizations.
第二天讨论的议程项目跟第一天几乎相同，全球经济危机、环境、气候变化和贸易等问题。不过，星期四参加会谈的国家有所增加，除了8国集团之外，还包括了主要新兴经济体的所谓5国集团，它们有中国、印度、巴西、南非和墨西哥。而且，国际组织和其他方面的代表也应邀出席。
On climate change, G8 leaders agreed Wednesday on new targets to limit greenhouse gas emissions and try to limit global warming to just two degrees centigrade above pre-industrial levels.
在气候变化问题上，8国集团领导人星期三就几项议题达成共识，包括限制温室气体排放；争取把全球气温的上升限制在比工业革命之前高2摄氏度的水平上。
In announcing that decision, Prime Minister Berlusconi spoke of the need to bring other countries into the process, especially India, China and Brazil.
贝卢斯科尼总理在宣布这项决定时谈到吸收其它国家参加这个进程的必要性，尤其有必要吸收印度、中国和巴西。
It would be counterproductive, Mr. Berlusconi said, if the United States, Europe, Canada and Japan implement strategies to cut emissions if other countries do not.
贝卢斯科尼说，如果美国、欧洲、加拿大和日本等国家实施削减温室气体排放的战略，而其它国家不这样做，结果将适得其反。
G8 leaders have said the group wants to be inclusive and bring other nations into discussions on global issues. The move is also widely seen as an increasing understanding that while G8 members may be the world's most powerful nations, they cannot solve issues such as the global economic crisis or climate change without the help of others.
8国集团领导人表示，该集团希望有包容性，吸收其它国家讨论全球性问题。外界普遍认为，8国集团之所以这样做是因为它们越来越认识到，尽管8国集团成员国或许是世界最强大的国家，但他们却无法独自解决全球经济危机或者气候变化这样的问题，他们需要其它国家和组织的帮助。 |
