河北官员APEC期间治污不力受罚
With Asia-Pacific leaders gathering for a summit meeting in Beijing, forecasts that smog would envelop the capital this weekend were bad news not just for China’s leaders, who hoped to present the city in its best light for the occasion, but for officials charged with ensuring clean air.
预报称，北京周末会被雾霾笼罩。由于亚太地区领导人将相聚北京参加峰会，这对于希望借此机会展现北京最佳形象的中国领导人，以及负责确保空气清洁的官员来说，都是一个坏消息。
On Friday, The Economic Daily reported that 24 officials in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province, which encircles Beijing, would be disciplined for their failure to control air pollution levels, and that five leaders of the most-polluting companies in the city would face administrative detention and fines.
周五，《经济日报》报道称，在北京周边的河北省省会石家庄，24名官员将因控污工作不力遭受处分，五家污染最为严重的企业的负责人将被行政拘留，并处以罚款。Inspection tours, which were carried out on Wednesday by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in Beijing and surrounding regions to check air quality, identified dozens of workplaces in Shijiazhuang in violation of pollution control regulations. The inspection teams found that 33 enterprises in Shijiazhuang had not halted or cut back on production as directed, and that work had continued as usual at 18 construction sites. In addition, the inspectors reported that road dust in the city exceeded acceptable levels, and that the burning of trash and straw was rampant.
周三，环保部派出督查组在北京及其周边地区检查空气质量，确认石家庄的几十个工作场所违背了污染控制规定。督查组发现，石家庄的33家企业未按要求进行停产、限产，18个施工场地未按要求停止施工。除此之外，督查人员报告称，石家庄市的道路扬尘超过可接受水平，秸秆垃圾焚烧问题严重。
In October, in preparation for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing, the government said it would enact stringent air pollution controls in a 200-kilometer, or 124-mile, radius of the capital, reducing traffic and industrial production from Nov. 1 to 12. Shijiazhuang, which is reported to have some of the worst air pollution in China, received special attention.
今年10月，为了准备北京亚太经合组织会议，中国政府称他们将在北京周边200公里（约合124英里）的范围内实施严格的空气污染控制规定，在11月1日至12日期间减少车流量与工业生产。石家庄受到特别关注，该市据称是中国污染最为严重的城市之一。On Thursday, after the China Meteorological Administration forecast that Beijing would experience smog into Tuesday, the government extended the emergency pollution reduction measures even farther south to include Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province.
上周四，在中国气象局预报称北京的雾霾天将持续至周二之后，政府将紧急减霾举措的实施范围扩展至包括山东省省会济南市在内的南部地区。In Beijing, state news media reported that the huge number of fireworks that were set off on Tuesday evening in a rehearsal for the planned Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation display might have contributed to an increase in pollution levels.
官方媒体报道称，北京市于上周二晚间燃放了大量烟花，为亚太经合组织会议期间的表演活动彩排，这可能在一定程度上导致污染水平上升。Meanwhile, the Ministry of Environmental Protection designated Henan Province as its next target for closer supervision, after summoning the mayor of Anyang, Ma Linqing, to Beijing to discuss his city’s failures in carrying out pollution regulations.
与此同时，环保部将河南省定为下一个进行严密监督的目标。环保部在此之前将安阳市市长马林青召至北京，讨论安阳市在实施污染防治规定方面出现的问题。Henan, the province south of Hebei, is a center for copper-smelting, iron and steel mills, and coking plants. According to the ministry, despite the emergency antipollution measures ordered for this week, some heavily polluting enterprises either continued production as usual or discharged pollutants at night in an effort to hide them.
位于河北南部的河南省是炼铜厂、炼钢厂及焦化厂的聚集地。环保部表示，尽管政府下令在本周实施污染防治举措，一些污染严重的企业要么像往常一样继续生产，要么在夜间排放污染物，进行遮掩。
