With just two days remaining, the inability to overcome disagreements about the shape of a deal to combat global warming led to hours of inaction today , while outside the negotiations police clashed with protesters who broke through a security cordon but failed in an attempt to storm the conference centre.
離會議結(jié)束還剩兩天時間，各國始終無法達成一致協(xié)議，導(dǎo)致今天延續(xù)數(shù)小時的僵持局面。而外面的警察與突破了警戒線并試圖闖進大會中心的抗議者之間也沖突不斷。

"We have made no progress" said a source close to the talks. "These talks are now 18 hours late."

More than 115 world leaders arrive tomorrow and on Friday and had expected only to bargain over the final details in a prepared draft agreement but the earlier impasse could condemn the talks to failure.
明后兩天將有超過115個國家的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人前來，不過他們只期望就早已擬定的協(xié)議草案中的細節(jié)問題討價還價。然而目前的僵局很可能導(dǎo)致會談破裂。

For the first time frustrated negotiators spoke openly of – at best – reaching a weak political agreement that would leave no clear way forward to tackle rising greenhouse gas emissions.That would mean the negotiations staying in limbo well into next year, increasing the damage caused by global warming.
沮喪的談判方幾天來第一次公開承認(rèn)，他們至多能達成一項空洞的政治協(xié)議，對于減排并無實際效果。也就是說，頻臨破裂邊緣的談判會持續(xù)到明年，進一步增長全球變暖帶來的危害。

The day saw thousands of protesters take to the streets to demand a strong deal by Friday but, while they clashed with police, they failed in their objective to enter the conference centre.
當(dāng)天上千名抗議者走上街頭，要求在星期五之前必須達成有效協(xié)議。這些抗議者與警察產(chǎn)生了沖突，最終并未能進入到大會中心。

A key meeting of 25 government ministers from different countries, chosen to streamline the negotiations, was 18 hours behind track tonight , having failed to meet for the entire day. The group, along with another 25 "shadow" ministers, had been scheduled for its first meeting in the early hours of Wednesday but it was delayed. Ministers from developing countries were shocked to find that, instead of making progress on producing the slimmed-down draft agreement for the leaders, talks starting at 5.45am had seen the document increase in complexity.
25位不同國家的部長原本計劃簡化談判過程，然而這場關(guān)鍵會議延誤了18個小時，整整一天都沒能開成。這些部長，以及另外25名影子部長，原本計劃于星期三一早開始會談。發(fā)展中國家的部長們難以置信地發(fā)現(xiàn)，早上5點45分開始的這場精簡協(xié)議內(nèi)容的會議，反而導(dǎo)致更大的復(fù)雜性。

Miliband said people around the world would be rightly furious if negotiators failed to get a deal. "It would be a tragedy if we failed to agree because of the substance. It would be a farce if we failed to reach agreement because of the process," he said.
Miliband說，如果談判方無法達成協(xié)議，全世界的人都有權(quán)表示憤怒?！叭绻且驗閰f(xié)議內(nèi)容的關(guān)系而導(dǎo)致談判失敗，這將是一個悲??；但如果因為談判過程而導(dǎo)致了失敗，這就是一場鬧劇。”

"People will find it extraordinary that this conference that has been two years in the planning and involves 192 countries, which is such an important thing, such important stakes, is at the moment being stalled on points of order."
“這場會議籌劃了整整兩年，有192個國家參與其中，其重要性、關(guān)鍵性不言而喻。因為程序問題而停滯不前，這簡直不可理喻?！?/p>
