It might take China a decade to tackle its notorious smog problem, said Zhong Nanshan, a deputy of the National People's Congress and a renowned respiratory expert specializing in pandemics. 全国人大代表、著名呼吸道疾病专家钟南山表示，中国治霾10年能见成效。 "Some experts said China might have to spend 30 years to fight the haze, like the lessons of London's Great Smog in 1952, but joint efforts nationwide might cut the time to 10 years," said Zhong at a news conference on Thursday in Beijing. 他在3月5日在京举行的一场资讯发布会上说道：“一些专家说中国可能要花30年来治理雾霾，就如同1952年伦敦烟雾事件的教训，但如果全国上下一起努力，治霾10年能见成效。” "A fresh breath of air requires both favorable meteorological conditions and nationwide effort." “要想呼吸到新鲜的空气，良好的气象条件和全国人民的共同努力，二者缺一不可。” According to research by Peking University on the improvement of air conditions during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the shutdown of polluting plants and banning of vehicles with excessive emissions during the Games reduced air pollution by 30 percent and PM2.5, particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 microns, by 55 percent, said Zhong. 他还表示，据北京大学调查的2008年北京奥运会期间空气质量改善报告显示，赛会期间，关停污染工厂、限制机动车尾气排放量的举动使得大气污染排放量减少30%，直径小于2.5微米的颗粒物PM2.5含量也减少55%。 |
