Anne-Marie Trevelyan admitted that the move would risk a legal challenge at the World Trade Organization, which oversees global trade, but said it was essential to protect Britain’s steel industry. 英国国际贸易大臣周三宣布，为了保护国内生产商，英国将把国外钢铁进口一揽子配额和关税措施延长两年。特里威廉承认，此举可能会引起全球贸易监管机构——世界贸易组织发起的法律质询，但她表示，此举对保护英国钢铁行业至关重要。 However, some experts believe extending the tariffs would constitute a breach of the UK’s international legal obligations under WTO rules. Lord Christopher Geidt quit this month as ethics adviser to Boris Johnson, the prime minister, citing his disapproval of the plan to breach international law through steel tariffs as part of the reason for his decision. 然而，一些专家认为，延长关税将违反世界贸易组织规则中对英国国际法律义务的约定。克里斯托弗•盖特勋爵本月辞去了英国首相鲍里斯•约翰逊的道德顾问一职，辞职的部分原因在于他不同意这项会违反国际法规定的钢铁关税计划。 The government will extend existing steel tariffs, largely on developed countries and China, by a further two years. It will also expand import limits to other, mostly developing but as yet unnamed, countries to prevent a flood of steel into the UK after some of them increased their exports to the UK beyond the legalthreshold. 政府将现行的钢铁关税规定（主要向发达国家和中国征收）再延长两年。它还把进口限制扩大到其他国家（主要是发展中国家，但尚未公布名单），以防止钢铁大量流入英国。此前，一些国家对英国的出口额增加到了超过法定限制的水平。 The interventions, he added, would “guard against anticipated surges in imports from trade diverted away from the US and EU markets that will remainshieldedfor years to come” and which would have “risked jobs, investment, and our ability to transition to net zero”. Sir Andrew Cook, chair of family-owned Sheffield steel fabricator William Cook, said unrestricted imports would have “created a great deal of damage, not just to the domestic industry but also on a wider scale”. 翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~由谢菲尔德家族企业威廉·库克铸钢厂（位于英国谢菲尔德）的主席——安德鲁•库克爵士表示，进口不受限制“不仅对国内行业，而且对更大范围的整个行业都将造成巨大的伤害”。 The decision, however, hassparked concerns amongsome UK manufacturers who said they had to rely on overseas steel as domestic suppliers were unable to meet demand. “The cost changes associated with further tariffs will force businesses across the supply chain to scrutinize their contracts,” warned Mark Stefanini, partner at law firm Mayer Brown. “They will be seeking to understand whether and in what circumstances they are required to pay these additional costs and if so whether they can in turn pass them on to their customers.” 然而，这一决定引发了一些英国制造商的担忧，他们表示，由于国内供应商无法满足需求，他们不得不依赖海外钢材。迈耶布朗律师事务所合伙人马克•斯特凡尼尼警告称：“进一步延长关税导致成本变化，将迫使整个供应链的企业仔细审查他们的合同。”“他们将试图理解，在各种情况下，他们是否会被要求支付这些额外成本，如果确实要支付，他们是否可以反过来将这些成本转嫁给客户。” 本文节选自：Financial Times（金融时报） 发布时间：2022.06.29 作者：International homepage 原文标题：UK to extend steel import quotas and tariffs for two years 词汇积累 1. quota /ˈkwəʊtə/ n. 定额，限额; 定量，指标; (候选人当选所需的)规定票数，最低票数 2.threshold /ˈθrɛʃəʊld/ n. 门槛，门口; 起始点; 起点，入门; 机场跑道入口 3. shield /ʃiːld/ n. 盾(牌); 防护物，保护人; 盾形纹(徽)章; 盾形奖牌; (颁发盾形奖牌的)比赛; 背甲 v. 保护，保卫; 遮挡; 给……加防护罩; 防止(或减少)辐射; (体育运动中)护住(球); 防御，起保护作用 词组搭配 1.spark concerns among 引发…的关注 写作句总结 The decision, however, has sparked concerns among some UK manufacturers who said they had to rely on overseas steel as domestic suppliers were unable to meet demand. 结构: The decision, however, has sparked concerns among …. 然而，这项决定引发了…的担忧 例句: The decision, however, has sparked concerns among some farmers with poor harvests. 打卡作业 在草稿纸上翻译文章中的划线句，完成每日的打卡练习！下期推送会公布参考翻译答案，大家一起来学习英语吧~ 外刊君为同学们汇总了《考研数学高数思维导图》，戳码回复“高数”，下载pdf源文件。
