1.      Kyoto Protocol: 京都议定书

2.      That is in keeping with the policies of President George Bush, who opposes mandatory curbs on emissions and believes that any international accord on global warming should apply to all countries—unlike the Kyoto protocol, which exempts poor ones, including big polluters such as China and India. 那与布什总统的政策保持一致。布什反对对排放采取强制手段,认为任何有关全球变暖的国际条约都应适用于所有的国家而不是像京都议定书那样免除包括中国和印度这样的大的污染制造者在内的贫穷国家的义务。
