When President Donald Trump announced America’s withdrawal from the Paris climate change accord, the decision horrified many observers, both within the US and beyond. John Hickenlooper, the Democratic governor of Colorado, was among them. “Abandoning this climate deal is like ripping off your parachute when you should be pulling the ripcord,” Hickenlooper declared, using the pithy turn of phrase for which he is renowned.
當(dāng)美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)宣布美國(guó)退出《巴黎氣候變化協(xié)定》時(shí),這一決定嚇壞了美國(guó)乃至全世界的很多觀察人士。其中包括科羅拉多州州長(zhǎng)、民主黨人約翰?希肯盧珀(John Hickenlooper)。“放棄這份氣候協(xié)議就像是,在你該拉開(kāi)傘繩時(shí)卻扯掉了降落傘,”希肯盧珀言簡(jiǎn)意賅地說(shuō)——他的這種語(yǔ)言風(fēng)格是出了名的。
