继“APEC蓝”之后,北京的网友们又开始乐此不疲地晒起“阅兵蓝”了。
我们来看一段相关的英文报道
According to a report by the environment protection authority, Beijing's PM2.5 index has remained excellent since Aug 20, and the media has called the blue sky in Beijing during this period "parade blue".
During the rehearsal and the parade, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the Palace Museum are closed to the public.
Besides traffic controls, eighty percent of the vehicles used by government bureaus and institutes have been banned from use, and construction sites that generate dust have been asked to shut down.
北京市环保局的一份报告显示,自8月20日起,北京PM2.5浓度连续保持一级优,媒体称这段时间的蓝天为“阅兵蓝”。
在阅兵演练和正式阅兵期间,毛主席纪念堂和故宫暂停对公众开放。
除了交通管制,80%的公车停驶,一些产生扬尘的建筑工地也被关停。
【讲解】
文中的parade blue就是“阅兵蓝”的意思,“阅兵蓝”的说法源于去年11月初的“APEC蓝”(APEC blue),由于采取了一系列减排措施,包括周边城市工厂停产(suspend production by factories in neighboring cities),限制演练区域的交通流(traffic flow)等,北京出现了蓝天白云。最后一句中的shut down是动词短语,表示“(使工厂、公司等)关闭,歇业,停业”,如:Smaller contractors have been forced to shut down.(规模较小的承包商已被迫歇业。)
