每日一句(62-23/09/09)：中国承诺减排

China pledged yesterday to slow the growth of its emissions despite the rapid expansion of its economy. (From The Times, September 23, 2009: President Hu Jintao commits China to carbon-cutting deal)

虽然经济快速增长，中国还是承诺减小排放增长速度。

1、pledge，公开承诺。
2、emission是可数名词，[C] gas, etc. that is sent out into the air。
*The government has pledged to clean up industrial emissions.
3、slow the growth。
4、经济增长用expansion这个词，不用growth免得和前面重复。
5、slow(v.)和rapid(adj.)形成对比。
