法国总统敦促中国努力保护环境减少气体排放
(French President Urges China to Work to Protect Environment and Reduce Emissions)

法国总统萨尔科奇说，中国必须采取行动，保护环境，帮助减少与全球变暖有关联的气体排放。萨尔科奇星期二在北京对清华大学学生发表演讲说，他不是要求中国放慢经济增长速度，而是以清洁的方式发展。

萨尔科奇还敦促世界上最大的排污国家之一的中国参与他所称的新的世界范围内的“生态和经济新政”。新政是指美国前总统罗斯福对抗1930年代经济大萧条提出的计划。

下个月，一些国家将在印度尼西亚的巴厘岛举行会谈，商讨一项新的气候变化条约，以取代2012年到期的联合国京都议定书。

French President Nicolas Sarkozy says China must act to protect the environment and help reduce emissions that are linked to global warming. Speaking to students at Beijing's Tsinghua University Tuesday, Mr. Sarkozy said that he was not asking China to slow down its economic growth, but to grow in a clean way.

Mr. Sarkozy also urged China, one of the world's biggest polluters, to join what he called a new worldwide "ecological and economic New Deal," a reference to former U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt's program for fighting the great depression of the 1930s.

Next month, some countries will hold talks in Bali, Indonesia to work on a new pact for climate change to replace the United Nations' Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

由美国环球影城公司牵头的一组投资商说，计划在韩国建造一个价值超过30亿美元的主题公园，这将是环球影城在亚洲建造的第3个主题公园。这家公园将建在首尔西南的华城的一处海滨地带，计划2012年开放。

这个主题公园希望每年吸引1000万游客，包括来自中国的游客。公园将包括酒店、一个高尔夫球场和一个购物中心。

经营美国佛罗里达州奥兰多和加州好莱坞以及日本大阪的环球影城主题公园的这家公司还计划在新加坡和迪拜建造渡假村。

A group of investors led by U.S. movie company Universal Studios says it plans to build a theme park in South Korea worth more than three billion dollars - the company's third resort in Asia. The park is slated to open in 2012 and will be built at a seaside location in Hwaseong City, southwest of Seoul.

It aims to attract 10 million visitors a year, including tourists from China. The park will include hotels, a golf course and a shopping center.

Universal Parks and Resorts, which runs Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando (Florida), Hollywood (California) and the Japanese city of Osaka is also planning to build resorts in Singapore and Dubai.
