  12月15日CNN聽力:巴黎氣象大會殺青汗青性協定 沙特女性權柄迎來汗青性沖破

  

  CNN STUDENT NEWS is kicking off its last week on air in 2015.

  We're grateful to have you with us.

  I'm Carl Azuz at the CNN Center.

  First up, what's being called a landmark agreement in the French capital.

  On Saturday, at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, delegates from around theworld formally accepted a plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

  Most scientists blamed greenhouse gases or carbon emissions for causing globaltemperatures to heat up over the past 100 years.

  The agreement reached in Paris would legally require countries to significantly reduce theircarbon emissions in the decades ahead, with the goal of keeping global temperatures fromrising.

  Even if all the initial targets set in Paris are met, we'll only be part of the way there when itcomes to reducing carbon from the atmosphere.

  So, we cannot be complacent because of today's agreement.

  The problem is not solved because of this accord.

  But make no mistake: the Paris agreement establishes the enduring framework the worldneeds to solve the climate crisis.

  But though an agreement was reached in principle, it still has to be approved by the differentcountries involved.

  For instance, two thirds of the U.S. Senate must approve a treaty before it can be ratified.

  Republicans control the Senate.

  Many of them have said that limiting carbon emissions could hurt the U.S. economy.

  And some agree with climate change skeptics who say human activity does not significantlyaffect global temperatures.

  From France, we're headed to the Middle East now, where preliminary results from an electionon Saturday indicate that at least six women will hold public office in Saudi Arabia.

  This is historic for the kingdom.

  Its government is a monarchy and this was the first election in which women were allowed tovote and run for office.

  The positions they were elected to mostly involve planning and development in the country.

  And there were complaints about the process.

  Critics say there were a limited number of registration centers.

  Some women told Human Rights Watch that they had trouble proving their identity andresidency.

  Female candidates had to have separate campaign offices from male ones.

  They weren't able to speak to male voters.

  Still, this came as a significant change for Saturday.

  Well, I've spent years covering the Middle East and the Gulf Region, and the issue of women'srights in Saudi Arabia often comes up.

  The kingdom is an absolute monarchy, ruled by the Al-Saud family.

  Now, they govern according to a strict interpretation of Sunni Islam.

  Women need the permission of a male guardian to travel, to work, to attend higher educationor to marry.

  Plus, Saudi Arabia does have a very young population.

  Median age there just 26.

  People of that I've spoken to say that the role of women in the country is evolving.

  Now, 2015 marked the first year that Saudi women were allowed to campaign for public officeand to register to vote at the municipal level.

  That came two years after the former King Abdullah decreed that women must make up at least20 percent of the Shura Council.

  Now, that is an appointed body that drafts laws and advises the king on major issues.

  More Saudi women are also joining the workforce.

  Only about 19 percent of them currently perform paid work, but the Saudi government saystheir numbers have risen considerably from 23,000 in 2004 to over 400,000 in 2014.

  Now, women are still required to cover their hair and wear long clothing in public, but in manymalls and hotels, these days, women are seen without head scarves, perhaps the most visiblesign of women's rights in Saudi or not as the case may be, is that they are not allowed to drive.

  Well, the women I've met there tell me they are often frustrated by the West's focus on thistopic and they feel it ignores the other positive steps they say have been made.

  But proponents for change say allowing women to drive would be a big step towards openingother doors of opportunity.

  We're going east to west to Far East on today's "Roll Call".

  On Friday's transcript page, we've got a request from the Miami Lakes Educational Center.

  It's great to see the Jaguars today in Miami Lakes, Florida.

  From the Sunshine State to the Golden State.

  Hesperia Junior High School is in Hesperia, California.

  We're catching up with the Roadrunners.

  And in Taiwan, thank you for making us far of your day at Morrison Christian Academy.

  Hello to our viewers in Taipei.

  Time for the "Shoutout".

  Which of these is a complex weather pattern that involves warmer-than- normal temperaturesin the Pacific Ocean?

  If you think you know it, shout it out.

  Is it La Nina, polar vortex, stationary wave, or El Nino?

  You've got three seconds. Go!

  El Nino was first recognized in the 1600s.

  The name refers to the little boy or Christ child in Spanish, as it tends to occur aroundChristmas.

  That's your answer and that's your "Shoutout".

  CNN門生消息迎來了2015年的末了一周。

  感激一起上有你相伴。

  我是卡爾·阿祖茲,這裏是CNN中間。

  起首,咱們存眷在法國都城殺青一項具備裏程碑意義的協定。

  周六,在結合國氣象變更集會上,來自天下各地的代表正式就一項限定溫室氣體排放的籌劃殺青了同等。

  大多半科學家將曩昔100年來的環球氣溫升溫歸罪於溫室氣體或碳排放。

  而在巴黎殺青的這項協定會在司法上請求列國在將來幾十年中明顯削減其碳排放量,阻攔環球氣溫上升。

  縱然巴黎最初定下的全部目的全體殺青,對付削減大氣中的二氧化碳如許的目的而言咱們另有很長路要走。

  是以咱們不克不及由於本日的協定就自滿驕傲。

  這個題目不會由於此次協定就可以得以辦理。

  但毫無疑難,巴黎殺青的這項協定樹立了天下須要辦理氣象危急的長期框架。

  固然在原則上殺青了一項協定,但它還需經各個國度同意能力付諸實行。

  比方,美國商討院的三分之二必需同意一項這項合同能力開端實行。

  而商討院是由共和黨掌握。

  黨內很多人表現限定碳排放大概會傷及美國經濟。

  而一些支撐氣象變更的疑惑論者則表現人類運動並對環球氣溫的影響其實不明顯。

  分開了法國,接下來咱們前去中東,周六大選的開端成果註解,最少有6名女性將在沙特阿拉伯擔負公職。

  這對沙特阿拉伯而言無疑是汗青性的。

  這個國度的當局是君主獨裁,而推舉中女性被許可投票並競選公職照樣亙古未有。

  她們被選的職位重要觸及國度的計劃和成長。

  而個中也有埋怨的聲音。

  批駁人士表現註冊中間數目有限。

  一些女性告知人權視察構造很難證實本身的身份和棲身權。

  女性候選人必需有同男性離開的零丁競選辦公室。

  她們不克不及同男性選民發言。

  但周六的競選還是一場龐大變更。

  嗯,我花了數年時光在中東和海灣地域舉行報導,而沙特阿拉伯的主婦權力也是重要的題目。

  這個國度推行的是君主獨裁,由沙特王室統治。

  如今,他們的治理是按照遜尼派伊斯蘭教的嚴厲教義。

  女性須要男性監護人的允許才可以或許旅遊,事情,接收高級教導或娶親。

  別的,沙特阿拉伯的生齒也出現年青化趨向。

  均勻生齒年紀只有26歲。

  我同采訪到的人談到女性在這個國度成長中的感化。

  如今,2015年是沙特主婦被許可競選公職及介入投票的第一年。

  此舉是在前任國王阿蔔杜拉命令女性必需最少占舒拉議會的20%的2年後才開端實施。

  如今如許體系體例下的女性可以或許草擬司法並就龐大題目上為國王供給發起。

  更多沙特女性也正在參加個中。

  今朝只有約莫19%的人從事有償事情,但沙特當局說這些女性的數目已大幅上升,從2004年的23000人上升至2014年的400000人。

  如今,主婦在"大眾,"前出頭露面仍舊須要擋住頭發而且身著長衣,但在很多阛阓及旅店,這些日子裏女性不須要用頭巾隱瞞,大概這是沙特女性可以或許駕車權柄的最顯著表現。

  好吧,我采訪到的女性告知我她們常常遭到這個話題西方的存眷,並且她們認為這疏忽了其他踴躍的方面。

  但這項變更的支撐者表現許可主婦開車將是對其他更多機遇所跨出很大的一步。

  又到了咱們的點名節目關鍵,本日的點名咱們將從東部到西部再到遠東。

  周五的文本頁面傍邊,咱們本日點名的第一所黌舍是邁阿密湖的教導中間。

  很愉快本日看到佛羅裏達州邁阿密湖的美洲虎們。

  接下來咱們從陽光州前去金州。

  咱們點名的第二所黌舍是加利福尼亞的赫斯匹亞高中。

  咱們遇上了走鵑。

  而末了一所黌舍則是處於台灣的莫裏森基督教授教養院。

  咱們在台北的觀眾同夥們,感激你們對本節目標鼎力支撐。

  接下來是大呼答題節目關鍵。

  下面哪一種龐雜的氣象模式會使得寧靖洋的溫度比正常還要高?

  假如你認為通曉謎底,那就高聲喊出來。

  是拉尼娜征象,極渦、駐波照樣厄爾尼諾征象?

  你有3秒鐘。開端!

  厄爾尼諾征象是在1600年月發明的一種氣象征象。

  這個名字指的是西班牙語中的小男孩或基督教小孩子,由於它每每產生在聖誕節。

  你答復對了嗎?這便是本期的大呼答題節目關鍵。
