问题     In 2007, I attended the Trade Ministers’ meeting in Bali on the relationship between trade and climate change. In Bali, I sent a simple message: climate first, and trade second. And that message still stands today. It was and continues to be, a message that is designed to uphold the Copenhagen Climate Summit at the end of this year.
   The climate crisis that we are witnessing today is the single biggest challenge to civilization as we know it. Responding to that crisis is urgent, and is a top priority on the international agenda. Because that crisis is so serious, responding to it requires that we unleash all our resourcefulness and creativity.
   While the multilateral trading system has a key role to play on the international economic and political landscape, that trading system is designed to enhance, and not reduce, human welfare. It cannot stand as a barrier to the fight against climate change -- in particular, to the conclusion of a "global" environmental accord.
   Climate negotiators needed to conclude an international treaty from which the WTO would take its cue. To truly enhance human welfare, the trading system needs to respond to the signals that would be sent to it by a successful Copenhagen accord.
选项
答案 我2007年参加了在巴厘岛举行的关于贸易和气候变化关系的贸易部长会议。在巴厘 岛，我给出了一个简单明了的信息：气候第一，贸易第二。这条信息所传达的思想今天还应 该继续坚持。这条信息所包含的思想过去是并将继续是将于年底举行的哥本哈根气候峰会的 指导思想。
   我们今天看到的气候危机是我们所知道的人类文明所面临的唯一最大的挑战。对这个危 机作出回应刻不容缓，并须提到世界事务的首要日程。鉴于气候危机的严重性，对之作出回 应需要我们群策群力、集智广益。
   鉴于多边贸易体系在国际经济政治事务中起着重要作用，该贸易体系应旨在增进而非削 弱人类的福祉。它不应该成为与全球气候变化做斗争的障碍——特别是在就“全球”环境达 成一致协议这个问题上。
   气候谈判者应该达成一个国际条约，世贸组织应该从中得到些启示。为了真正增进人类 的福祉，多边贸易体系应该对成功的哥本哈根协议发出的信号作出回应。
