Conversation One
對話一
W: Professor Henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do, where you work and your main area of research?
女：亨德森教授，您能簡單跟我們說一下您的工作、工作地點和研究領域嗎?
M: Well, the Center for Climate Research where I work links the science of climate change to issues around economics and policy. Some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all of the associated risks.
男：嗯，我在氣候研究中心工作，它是把氣候變化的科學性和經濟政策聯絡起來。我們有些研究是處理氣候變化的影響和相關風險。
W: And how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening? That it's really something we need to be worried about.
女：那麼氣候變化的症狀有多明顯呢?這真是我們應高關心的問題。
M: Well most of the science of climate change particularly that to do with global warming is simply fact. But other aspects of the science are less certain or at least more disputed. And so we're really talking about risk. What the economics tells us is that it's probably cheaper to avoid climate change, to avoid the risk than it has to deal with the likely consequences.
男：多數氣候變化的科學性——尤其是涉及全球變暖的`——是不爭的事實。但是其他方面還不太確定或至少還有爭議。所以我們在討論的是風險。經濟學告訴我們的是，躲避氣候變化、躲避風險比處理氣候變化的後果更便宜。
W: So what are we doing? What can we do about it?
女：那麼我們要做什麼呢?我們能做什麼?
M: Well I would argue that we need to develop the science specifically to understand the likely impacts of climate change in different contexts. As I said we need to understand the best ways of avoiding climate change and this will involve a huge transition to low carbon energy systems and the transition is a tremendous priority. And for this to happen, we may need action on a global scale. From a political perspective, we need to understand the terms on which major countries like China and the USA might sign up to a global agreement because at the moment we don't have that consensus.
男：我覺得我們應該具體發展科學，瞭解氣候變化在不同情況下可能出現的後果。就像我說的，我們得知道避免氣候變化的最佳方式，這就需要我們轉變成低碳能源系統，而這個轉變是應該優先考慮的大事。為了實現這一點，全球都應該開始行動。從政治角度來說，我們需要了解諸如中國和美國這樣的大國可能會簽訂的全球協議中的條款，因為現在我們還沒有那種共識。
W: Right.
女：是的。
M: And we also need to plan ahead so that we're in a position to deal with the likely levels of climate change which are already inevitable and even more so to for the levels that are likely if we don't get those global agreements.
男：我們也需要提前計劃，為無可避免的氣候變化做準備，如果我們無法達成全球協議，那就更要做準備了。
