在美國和亞洲各國看來，丹麥是環(huán)保領(lǐng)域的典范。自然資源保護委員會主席弗朗西斯·貝尼克去年秋天致該委員會的信中說，丹麥“是應(yīng)對全球變暖的樣板”。丹麥風力發(fā)電量占全國發(fā)電總量的1/5左右，風能專家稱這一比例列世界之首。

不過，如果再仔細分析一下就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，丹麥也遠非利用清潔能源的“天堂”。

自丹麥削減風力發(fā)電補貼以來，風力發(fā)電機組建設(shè)實際上已經(jīng)陷入停滯狀態(tài)。同時，與歐盟其他成員國相比，丹麥的二氧化碳排放量要高于歐盟平均水平。盡管丹麥安裝了眾多風力發(fā)電機組，但是丹麥很大程度上仍然依靠火電站發(fā)電，而且電煤也需要進口。

一個國家依靠化石燃料發(fā)展起來后，再想轉(zhuǎn)型依靠風能等可再生能源絕非易事，丹麥即是一例。風力發(fā)電遇到諸多阻礙，包括政府的政策重點不斷調(diào)整，海上修建新風力發(fā)電廠成本較高，公眾能否接受大型風力發(fā)電機組建設(shè)存疑，風力自身也具有不穩(wěn)定性。

咨詢公司美國新能源研究中心在馬薩諸塞州劍橋設(shè)有多個辦事處，該公司的高級分析師阿歷克斯·克萊恩說：“(在清潔能源發(fā)展方面)歐洲確實引領(lǐng)世界?！?/p>

如果風力理想的話，丹麥西部一些地區(qū)用電高峰期的所有電力供應(yīng)都來自風力發(fā)電。就風力絕對發(fā)電量而言，德國和西班牙都超過了丹麥，但是風力發(fā)電在這兩國發(fā)電總量中所占的比重要比丹麥小得多。歐盟27國中風力發(fā)電所占比重平均為3%。

不過，由于丹麥現(xiàn)在放慢了風力發(fā)電的發(fā)展步伐，德、西兩國現(xiàn)正迎頭趕上。去年全球共新增風力發(fā)電裝機容量數(shù)千兆瓦，丹麥僅為8兆瓦。

克萊恩說，如果丹麥當初沒有削減補貼的話，風力發(fā)電所占比重應(yīng)該早就從現(xiàn)在的1/5上升到近1/3了。

會議選址墨西哥城再合適不過。墨西哥城地下蓄水層的開采速度是地下水補給速度的2倍，由此造成墨西哥城以10年50厘米的速度不斷下沉，現(xiàn)在，這里的許多教堂出現(xiàn)裂隙，藝術(shù)宮日益傾斜，水管和排污管道開裂。

世界上每個地區(qū)都面臨水危機，只不過表現(xiàn)形式不同而已。在過去30年間，印度和巴基斯坦的部分地區(qū)大肆開采地下水用于農(nóng)業(yè)灌溉，致使水位下降了30米，開采成本隨之升高，給當?shù)刎毧噢r(nóng)民的生計帶來嚴重影響。

全球水危機的成因是什么?部分原因是實際可用水資源短缺。水不同于石油或煤炭，是一種無限可再生資源，但是可用水資源卻十分有限。目前，用水增加速度是人口增速的2倍，人均可用水資源在不斷減少，一些最不發(fā)達國家尤其如此。

一些國家的實際可用水資源確實存在嚴重短缺的問題，不過水危機的發(fā)生還有其深層次的原因。20世紀的水資源管理模式存在問題：人們想當然地認為，水資源取之不竭，用之不盡，是一種免費資源，人們用水毫無節(jié)制，隨意修建水壩或開展調(diào)水工程，根本意識不到水資源短缺的問題，也不考慮這種用水模式是否具有可持續(xù)性。

世界各地的決策者對過度開采水資源可能產(chǎn)生的后果視而不見、不管不問，現(xiàn)在江河湖泊等水生態(tài)系統(tǒng)都遭到嚴重破壞，可持續(xù)性開始受到威脅。

在21世紀，我們必須改變這種水資源管理模式。如何加以改變呢?首先，我們必須摒棄這種“有今沒明”、短視自利的用水模式，提高用水效率，避免對環(huán)境造成破壞。本次墨西哥水論壇的主要議題是“水資源綜合管理”，旨在敦促各國政府綜合管理不同用水需求，從公共利益出發(fā)合理利用寶貴的水資源。

能源是人類社會賴以生存和發(fā)展的重要物質(zhì)基礎(chǔ)?？v觀人類社會發(fā)展的歷史，人類文明的每一次重大進步都伴隨著能源的改進和更替。能源的開發(fā)利用極大地推進了世界經(jīng)濟和人類社會的發(fā)展。

過去100多年里，發(fā)達國家先后完成了工業(yè)化，消耗了地球上大量的自然資源，特別是能源資源。當前，一些發(fā)展中國家正在步入工業(yè)化階段，能源消費增加是經(jīng)濟社會發(fā)展的客觀必然。

中國是當今世界上最大的發(fā)展中國家，發(fā)展經(jīng)濟，擺脫貧困，是中國政府和中國人民在相當長一段時期內(nèi)的主要任務(wù)。20世紀70年代末以來，中國作為世界上發(fā)展最快的發(fā)展中國家，經(jīng)濟社會發(fā)展取得了舉世矚目的輝煌成就，成功地開辟了中國特色社會主義道路，為世界的發(fā)展和繁榮做出了重大貢獻。

中國是目前世界上第二位能源生產(chǎn)國和消費國。能源供應(yīng)持續(xù)增長，為經(jīng)濟社會發(fā)展提供了重要的支撐。能源消費的快速增長，為世界能源市場創(chuàng)造了廣闊的發(fā)展空間。中國已經(jīng)成為世界能源市場不可或缺的重要組成部分，對維護全球能源安全，正在發(fā)揮著越來越重要的積極作用。正確答案：譯文一

相比之下，曼谷大米報價為每噸1000美元左右，相比兩個月前每噸460美元的價格有了大幅上漲。

這就是當今市場劇烈波動的真實寫照。我們無從知曉價格的漲跌幅度，但是有一點可以肯定，那就是：我們已經(jīng)告別了富足時代，轉(zhuǎn)而進入了匱乏時代。專家們一致認為，短期內(nèi)糧價不太可能恢復(fù)到正常水平。

現(xiàn)在全球“最底層的10億人”每天生活費不足1美元，是世界上最貧苦的人群，我們不妨設(shè)身處地想想他們現(xiàn)在的處境如何。這個群體中大部分人生活在非洲，對于他們當中的許多人而言，食品開支往往要占到收入的2/3。

中華文明經(jīng)歷了5000多年的歷史變遷，但始終一脈相承，積淀著中華民族最深層的精神追求，代表著中華民族獨特的精神標識，為中華民族生生不息、發(fā)展壯大供了豐厚滋養(yǎng)。中華文明是在中國大地上產(chǎn)生的文明，也是同其他文明不斷交流互鑒而形成的文明。

公元前100多年，中國就開始開辟通往西域的絲綢之路。漢代張騫于公元前138年和119年兩次出使西域，向西域傳播了中華文化，也引進了葡萄、苜蓿、石榴、胡麻、芝麻等西域文化成果。西漢時期，中國的船隊就到達了印度和斯里蘭卡，用中國的絲綢換取了琉璃、珍珠等物品。中國唐代是中國歷史上對外交流的活躍期。據(jù)史料記載，唐代中國通使交好的國家多達70多個，那時候的首都長安里來自各國的使臣、商人、留學生云集成群。這個大交流促進了中華文化遠播世界，也促進了各國文化和物產(chǎn)傳入中國。15世紀初，中國明代著名航海家鄭和七次遠洋航海，到了東南亞很多國家，一直抵達非洲東海岸的肯尼亞，留下了中國同沿途各國人民友好交往的佳話。明末清初，中國人積極學習現(xiàn)代科技知識，歐洲的天文學、醫(yī)學、數(shù)學、幾何學、地理學知識紛紛傳入中國，開闊中國人的知識視野。之后，中外文明交流互鑒更是頻繁展開，這其中有沖突、矛盾、疑惑、拒絕，但更多是學習、消化、融合、創(chuàng)新。正確答案：Havinggonethroughover5,000yearsofvicissitudes,theChinesecivilizationhasalwayskepttoitsoriginalroot.AstheuniqueculturalidentityoftheChinesenation,itcontainsourmostprofoundculturalpursuitsandprovidesuswithabundantnourishmentforexistenceanddevelopment.TheChinesecivilization,thoughbornonthesoilofChina,hascometoitspresentformthroughconstantexchangesandmutuallearningwithothercivilizations.
