China to announce climate pledge as Xi visits Washington

老翟点评：从标题来看，好像没有什么重要的议题呦，只有中国将会宣布在环境方面做出的承诺。

pledge：Commit (a person or organization) by a solemn promise

例：

China pledged 100 Million RMB on humanitarian aid.

The prime minister pledged that there was no increase on VAT.

The president pledges himself to run for second term of his presidency.

China's President Xi Jinping is set to unveil a landmark pledge on climate change and curbing harmful emissions, White House officials have said.

老翟点评：

unveil: remove veiling from.动词，表示揭开面纱，公布于众的意思。很好的写作词汇，可以与release, discover, unfold作为词伙来一起记忆。

curb：动词，表示control

Xi and US President Barack Obama held informal talks at the White House on Thursday evening, where they also discussed Iran's nuclear programme.

老翟点评：where这里引导了一个状语从句，表示伴随状况。两位大佬将会在周四晚上举行非正式的谈话，同时讨论伊朗核项目。

Xi Jinping's US visit

Xi, on his first state visit to the US, will be hosted at the White House for a banquet on Friday.

The visit has been overshadowed by ongoing cyber security disagreements.

Xi is in Washington DC for the latest leg of his week-long US tour.

老翟点评：leg：表示一个系列中的一段。看足球的同学一定知道，主客场比赛中的第一场可以说first leg，第二场叫做second leg

A White House official told reporters that Xi would announce on Friday plans to launch a national carbon emissions trading scheme in 2017.

The "cap-and-trade" scheme would see Chinese companies charged to emit pollutants beyond a certain level.

老翟点评：

pollution：:污染；pollutants：污染物。

cap-and-trade scheme：该计划就是分配给每一个公司都有特定污染物的排放上限（cap），而对于那些没有达到上限的公司，可以将其没有用到的部分trade给其他公司。该政策旨在鼓励公司和企业减少污染物的排放，并从中受益。

scheme：一个有系统的大计划

a large-scale systematic plan or arrangement.

词伙有program, plan.

China would also make a "very substantial financial commitment" to developing nations to help them move to low-polluting technologies, the Associated Press news agency quoted the official as saying.

老翟点评：

substantial: 重要的，显著的。

词伙有：considerable,significant.
