【答案解析】[听力原文]
The head of the United Nations Food Agency,Jacques Diouf says he's not satisfied with the closing declaration of the World Food Summit in Rome.He says the declaration,committing the world to what's called a new partnership to combat hunger isn't specific enough(27).David Loyn reports.
Doctor Diouf said he was not in the room when negotiators from across the world finalized the declaration that's been rubber stamped to the Food Summit in Rome.But he said he was not satisfied with it,as it did not include targets either for the amount of spending on agriculture or a date to eradicate hunger in the world.This is an unusually frank admission from an international civil servant,and reveals some frustration that the political impetus to increase spending on agriculture after the food price shocks at the end of 2007 may have been lost.
