As the world looks to leaders in Paris to hammer out a new climate change deal, countries have been ranked on their performance on tackling global warming in a new report. 正当全世界都望着在巴黎的国家领导人敲定新的气候变化条约时,一项新报告给一些国家就其在应对全球变暖问题上的表现予以排名。 Denmark emerged at the top of the list as the country doing the most to combat dangerous global warming, with the UK close behind. 在应对全球变暖所做努力的榜单中,丹麦位列榜首,而英国紧随其后。 However, Saudi Arabia was ranked in the lowest position while Australia was third from last, just a day after the country's foreign minister, Julie Bishop, said Australia is meeting and beating its targets on climate change. 然而,沙特阿拉伯排在最后一名,澳大利亚排在倒数第三名,而就在前一天,澳大利亚外交部长朱莉·毕晓普称澳大利亚正在努力完成其在气候变化问题上设定的目标。 While no country was awarded first to third place, because 'no country is doing enough to prevent dangerous climate change', Denmark took fourth place –the top ranking out of 58 countries. 然而没有一个国家进入前三,因为“没有一个国家在应对气候变化问题上做得足够多”。丹麦位于第四位,是58个国家中排名最高的一个国家。 |
