Sandstorm brings haze to Beijing
北京雾霾未去沙尘又起
Another hazy day for Beijing residents - the result of a sandstorm which aggravates poor air quality in the Chinese capital. Some have taken to wearing masks to protect their lungs. Toxic air and rising pollution are some of the issues facing China's next leader Xi Jinping. And as the ruling communist party holds its annual national congress, international journalists say the issue of air quality must be faced.
对于北京居民来说的又一个雾霭天气——沙尘使得首都本已糟糕的空气加剧 。一些人戴着口罩保护他们的肺 。有毒空气和不断涌现的污染问题成了下一届领导人习近平需要面临的问题 。在执政共产党召开年度全国人民代表大会之际,国际记者称空气质量是必须面对的问题 。
TOKYO TV CORPORATION CORRESPONDENT, KOBAYASHI FUMINORI, SAYING: "It's difficult (for China) to on one hand develop economy, and the other hand to consider environmental issues. But it has already come to such a degree, and it's badly affecting people's health. I hope (NPC delegates) will seriously think about the problem this year." Beijing's air quality was 30-45 times above the recommend safety levels in January, prompting public outcry. But it won't be easy to balance industrial growth with environmental protection.
东京电视公司记者小林说:“对中国来说,一方面要发展经济,另一方面要考虑环境问题,这是不容易的 。但污染程度已经达到这个水平,严重影响了人们的健康 。我希望今年(人大代表)认真的考虑这个问题 。”一月,北京的空气质量是建议安全水平的30 - 45倍,引发了公众的强烈愤慨 。但要保持工业增长与环境保护相平衡是不容易的 。
AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION, STEPHEN MCDONELL, SAYING: "The question now is what are they really going do about it. Once these new leaders are put in place during this Congress, and they are the ones that have to decide on the solution. I supposed ordinary people are going to be calling on them to try and do something about it, about air pollution and also about things like, you know, decertification. The government has promised to limit traffic, but others say the country must reduce its dependence on coal and invest in clean energy technology.
澳大利亚广播公司斯蒂文·麦克唐纳说:“现在的问题是,什么是他们真正要去做的 。一旦新的领导人上位,他们就需要决定解决方案 。我认为老百姓会呼吁他们试着去解决一些事情,像空气污染和其他事情,你知道,像吊销执照 。尽管政府已经承诺将限制交通流量,但一些人表示国家必须减少对煤炭的依赖,并投资清洁能源 。
