VOA慢速英語: 一個(gè)紀(jì)錄片使中國政府開始討論霧霾問題

Film Gets Chinese Government Talking About Smog

一部紀(jì)錄片使中國政府開始討論霧霾問題。

The documentary “Under the Dome” went viral online just before Chinese lawmakers opened their yearly meeting. The film examines the health effects of China’s massive air pollution, or smog, problem. It also presents the difficulties environmental officials face in enforcing laws.

紀(jì)錄片《穹頂之下》在兩會(huì)召開之前迅速在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上蔓延開來。它審視了中國的大規(guī)模大氣污染或者說霧霾對人體健康的影響。也介紹了環(huán)保官員在執(zhí)行法律上面臨的困難。

But one day after the National People’s Congress opened, the government ordered the film be removed from the Internet.

但是在全國人民代表大會(huì)召開后一天，政府就下令該紀(jì)錄片在網(wǎng)上禁播。

About 200 million people had already seen “Under the Dome,” however. China's newly appointed environment minister had even praised the film. And, the general message of “Under the Dome” appears to fit well with efforts officials are making to deal with the problem. It is not clear why officials blocked the film.

有大約2000萬人已經(jīng)看過《穹頂之下》了。中國新任命的環(huán)保部長甚至為這個(gè)紀(jì)錄片點(diǎn)贊了。《穹頂之下》傳達(dá)的信息正好契合官員們?yōu)樘幚盱F霾問題所做的努力。因此為什么官方會(huì)阻止紀(jì)錄片的播放，原因尚不清楚。

State-run businesses part of the problem?

國有的一些企業(yè)是造成霧霾問題的一部分原因嗎?

A former reporter for China’s state-run television, Chai Jing, produced thedocumentary. It argues that state-run businesses, especially energycompanies, are part of China’s pollution problem.

柴靜之前是中央電視臺(tái)的一名記者，就是她制作的這部記錄片。它認(rèn)為國有公司，尤其是一些能源公司，是造成空氣污染的一部分。

At the end of the National People’s Congress meeting, a reporter asked PrimeMinister Li Keqiang whether he thought the film was correct. Are big oilcompanies barriers to environmental law enforcement?

在全國人民代表大會(huì)結(jié)束時(shí)，一名記者問李克強(qiáng)總理，他覺得紀(jì)錄片說的在不在理。是不是大的能源公司阻礙了環(huán)保法的執(zhí)行?

Mr. Li said under this year's Environmental Protection Law officials are committed to taking legal action against those who add to the pollution problem.

李克強(qiáng)總理答道，根據(jù)今年的環(huán)保法，有關(guān)人員正在致力于采取法律手段打擊那些試圖增加污染問題的有關(guān)責(zé)任方。

He said anyone involved in acts of illegal production and emissions will bebrought to justice. He said the government must make businesses thatillegally emit and dump pay a price too heavy to accept.

他表示任何參與違法生產(chǎn)和排放污染物的行為都將被繩之以法。他說政府會(huì)讓那些非法排放或者轉(zhuǎn)儲(chǔ)污染物的企業(yè)付出沉重的代價(jià)。
