Tokyo 2020 Games motto
东京奥运发布主题口号

"United by Emotion" will be the official motto of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, organizers announced Monday.
东京奥组委17日宣布，东京奥运会和残奥会的官方口号为"United by Emotion(激情聚会)"。
The motto will be displayed, in English only, at competition venues, on city decorations and on licensed goods. It will also feature in digital media, ensuring worldwide attention.
这句口号将以英文版的形式出现在比赛场馆、城市装饰广告和特许商品上。这句口号还将出现在数字媒体上，吸引全球关注。

The three-word slogan "expresses the hope of the spectators, volunteers, and athletes from over 200 national Olympic committees and refugee Olympic teams gathering in Tokyo this summer," said Toshiro Muto, the CEO of Tokyo 2020.
东京奥组委首席执行官武藤敏郎表示，这一口号表达了对今夏东京之约的期盼，届时观众、志愿者，以及来自200多个国家奥委会和难民奥运代表团的运动员将齐聚东京。

He also said that the motto summarizes the ideas that the host city wishes to "share with the world." But it immediately raised concerns from Japanese media because there will be no official Japanese version of the motto.
武藤敏郎还表示，口号凝聚了主办城市想要"与全世界分享"的理念。由于口号没有官方日语版，发布后立刻引起了日本媒体的质疑。

The motto is normally unveiled in two languages when the Olympic Games is held in a country where English is not the native language. Muto said the English version is very "simple" and people can understand it clearly. "If you translate it into Japanese, you will find many different words," he said.
通常来说，当在母语非英语的国家举办奥运会时，会用两种语言发布口号。武藤敏郎说，英文版口号简明扼要，一看就懂，如果翻译成日语，将会有许多不同的版本。

Amazon emits more CO2
亚马孙雨林成碳排放源

Up to one-fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more CO2 than it absorbs, new research suggests.
最新研究表明，多达1/5的亚马孙雨林排放的二氧化碳比吸收的还要多。

Results from a decade-long study of greenhouse gases over the Amazon basin appear to show around 20% of the total area has become a net source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
对亚马孙流域温室气体的一项长达十年的研究结果显示，该流域中大约有20%的地区已成为大气中二氧化碳的净来源地。

One of the main causes is deforestation. While trees are growing, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again.
造成这一现象的主要原因之一是森林砍伐。树木生长时，会从大气中吸收二氧化碳，死亡的树木会再次释放二氧化碳。

Millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years. A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a store, or sink, when trees die and emit carbon into the atmosphere.
近年来，数百万棵树木被砍伐或被火灾烧毁。当树木死亡并向大气排放二氧化碳时，森林就会成为二氧化碳的来源，而不是二氧化碳的储存地或森林碳汇。

Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon's inability to absorb carbon. The research by Professor Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), suggests this southeastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source.
森林被砍伐的区域也导致了亚马孙雨林无法吸收碳。巴西国家空间研究所研究员卢西亚纳·加蒂教授的研究表明，亚马孙雨林的东南部(约占总面积的20%)已经成为一个碳源。

Carlos Nobre, who co-authored Prof Gatti's study, believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, more than half of the Amazon could change from rainforest into savanna.
加蒂教授研究报告的合著者卡洛斯·诺布雷认为，新的发现表明，在未来30年内，超过一半的亚马孙雨林可能会从热带雨林变成热带草原。
