【译文】

CHINA has signalled its readiness to abandon its resistance to limits on its carbon emissions and wants to reach an international deal to fight global warming.

中国宣布已经准备好放弃对限制CO2的抵制，表示接受国际协议以应对全球变暖。

According to Britain's Climate Change Secretary, Ed Miliband, who met senior officials in Beijing this week, China is ready to "do business" with developed countries to reach an agreement to replace the Kyoto treaty.

英国气候变化部门官员爱德米利本周在北京会见了中国高级官员，他说，中国已经准备好了和发达国家达成一项协议来替代《京都议定书》。

"I think they're up for a deal. I get the strong impression that they want an agreement," Mr Miliband said. "They see the impact of climate change on China and they know the world is moving towards a low-carbon economy and see the business opportunities that will come with that." A shift in the Chinese position would significantly improve the chances of an agreement being reached when world leaders meet in Copenhagen in December.

爱德米利先生说：“我认为他们已经准备接受一项协议。他们想要一份协议，这让我印象深刻。他们看到了气候变化对中国的影响，他们也知道世界在向低炭经济转变，他们看到了伴随这种转变而来的商业机遇。

China's official negotiating position is unchanged, but the Government is believed to be preparing a set of targets up to and beyond 2020 to lower the country's "carbon intensity".

中国官方谈判态度没有改变，但据信，政府已经准备了几套方案，2020年后降低中国“碳强度”。

Mr Miliband said that US President Barack Obama's pledge to reduce US emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 had unblocked the international negotiating process.

米里班德先生说，美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马保证在2020年减低美国排放量到1990年的水平，并且开启了国际协商程序。

"China used to think the developed world is not serious," he said. "That's what they were saying (at UN talks) in December.
"But now they know the US is on the pitch and ready to engage with them. It has made a real difference to what China is saying."

他说：“中国以前认为发达国家不认真。这是他们12月（在联合国对话中）说的。但是现在他们知道美国在行动，已经准备好和他们一起努力。这和中国说的有天壤之别”。

Su Wei, a senior Chinese negotiator, said last month that the US had made a "substantive change" under the Obama Administration.

苏伟（音），中国一位高级谈判代表，本周说到，在奥巴马执政后，美国已经出现了“真正的改变”。
