Inácio Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, sees a growing global role for big emerging economies
Upon first taking office in 2003, I pledged to end hunger in my country. Under the “Zero Hunger” banner, I put( poverty-eradication and the alleviation of inequality )at the forront of government action. I was convinced that without dealing squarely with these two evils, it would be impossible to overcome centuries of economic backwardness and political unrest.
After nearly six years, much progress has been made. The number of very poor in Brazil has been slashed in half. The middle class is now in a majority, 52% of the population.
There is no cause for complacency. Many Brazilians are still unable to support themselves with dignity. Yet Brazilian society&aposs response to eliminating social and economic deprivation is an indication of the profound changes the country is undergoing. Brazil has never been in a better position to meet the challenges ahead and is fully aware of its growing global responsibilities.
(作者先讲自己就职时的pledge,接着展开讲成果,最后提出不可自满,还有很多不足,逻辑清晰~)
A global agenda
Brazil’s ethanol and biodiesel programmes are a benchmark for alternative and renewable fuel sources.Partnerships are being established with developing countries seeking to follow Brazil’s achievements—a 675mtonne reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions, a million new jobs and a drastic reduction in dependence on imported fossil fuels coming from a dangerously small number of producer countries. All of this has been accomplished without compromising food security, which, on the contrary, has benited from rising agricultural output.
Food scarcity threatens to undermine our achievements in reducing world poverty.Brazil is expanding agricultural production, reinforcing the country’s position as the world’s second-largest food exporter. At the same time, the pace of dorestation in the Amazon has been reduced by half, an indication that Brazil’s modern agro industry poses no threat to the rainforest.(这种表达很简洁~) We are setting up offices in developing countries interested in beniting from Brazilian know-how in this field.
The replication in Latin America and Africa of many Brazilian social initiatives, including the Zero Hunger and HIV-AIDS programmes, is proof that the MillenniumDevelopment Goals are attainable at a relatively low cost. The antiretroviral manufacturing plant Brazil is set to open in Mozambique in 2009, for example, will help Africa to fight the HIV-AIDS epidemic.
(以上三段联系很紧凑,基本都是在上一段末尾引出下一段要讲的问题,很自然啊~ 这种写作方式AW可是借鉴一哈~)
In tackling climate change, collective action is the only way forward. The question-mark around the relevanceof the G8 and the unrormed Security Council—not to mention the Bretton Woods institutions—highlights that it is no longer possible to exclude major emerging economies from the debate on issues ofparamount(paramoubt) importance to the global agenda. Greater democracy in international decision-making is essential if truly fective answers to global challenges are to be found. The magnitude of the current financial crisis, for instance, requires a vigorous (vigorous)response from the multilateral institutions.
Brazil remains committed to the successful conclusion of the Doha round. We wish to eliminate all barriers to international trade that strangle the productive potential of countless countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I have been in direct contact with leaders from some of the main players—the United States, India,China, Indonesia, Britain—and believe we still have a real chance to achieve a breakthrough on the relatively minor outstanding issues.
The industrialized world should take the lead in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and provide support for developing nations to follow, but without having to compromise on domestic growth. Similarly, intellectual property protection cannot take precedence(precedence) over the ethical imperative of ensuring that poor populations have access to life-saving drugs.(of ensuring that........简练~)
Implementing this agenda requires a new, more transparent and rule-based international system. To this end,Brazil has joined India and South Africa in establishing IBSA, an association of the three major democracies of the global South focusing on co-operation and development issues. Within the framework of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and of the expanded G8, Brazil seeks to help identify the role of these emerging players in the unfolding multipolar order.
We have also joined our neighbors in setting up the Union of South American Nations (UNASUL), which aims to enhance regional integration and to ensure a stronger international presence for our block. UNASUL is setting up an energy plan, a dense council and a development bank.
(上面几段主要讲了B的international position&reponsibilities,由climate change引出,同样是层层叙述)
Through such initiatives we will enhance dialogue and improve the mechanisms required to reinvigorate multilateralism. Most of all, we will strengthen our capacity to join hands in building a more peacul, just and prosperous future for all.(很有力度的表达~)
这个文选的有点急,MS米有可以用到AW上的例子哦。。。。。主要是借鉴语言啦~
摘出两个好句型并附上偶滴摹写~(学以致用啊学以致用------受教于老大)
1、put.....at the forront of ....
It&aposs urgent for countries all over the world to put environmental governance at the forront of developing
2、the question-mark around......highlights that........
The question-mark around the the vote highlights that it can&apost be a transparent one
另,文章中有一句话偶看了很久才看懂,举着算是难句,也单独摘出来再分析一哈并积累到杨鹏上~
Yet Brazilian society&aposs response to eliminating social and economic deprivation is an indication of the profound changes the country is undergoing
其实现在再看这句话也不难啦,当时之所以没理解主要是因为response to 后面的成分有点长,并受到后面修饰changes的the country is undergoing的干扰~
