结构推理
At an international convention in Brussels organized by environmental groups,representatives from attending nations denounced the water privatization policies followed by the World Bank and the World Trade Organization. They felt this(water privatization)is clearly against the spirit contained in Principles 2 and 12 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development signed in 1992.Part of the Declaration says,States should cooperate to promote a supportive and open international economic system that would lead to economic growth,and sustainable development in all countries,to better address the problems of environmental degradation.
【答案解析】本文是关于因水而引起的世界纷争方面的文章。原文中第二句中against的意思是“抵触”,而不是“反对”的意思。“与……相抵触”是属于政论体的专业术语。在对states should cooperate to promote a supportive and open international economic system这一句的翻译中,为平衡句子,使之更加连贯,符合汉语习惯,译文把定语从句that would lead to economic growth,and sustainable development in all countries.to better address the problems of environmental degradation分开翻译,断句合理,语气顺畅。
