前加州州长阿诺德·施瓦辛格（共和党）于周三庆祝他在任期间与包括加州州长加文·纽瑟姆在内的民主党人共同签署的里程碑式气候立法二十周年纪念。
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, celebrated the 20-year anniversary of landmark climate legislation he signed while in office alongside Democrats including Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday.
施瓦辛格在长滩的一场经济会议上表示：“加州是人们齐心协力、而不是把这件事划分为共和党或民主党议题时，能够取得成就的完美范例。”他指出，《加州议会法案32号》（全球变暖解决方案法）显著降低了温室气体排放，同时创造了超过五十万个清洁能源岗位。
"California is the perfect example of what can be done when people work together and when we don't look at this as a Republican or as a Democratic issue," Schwarzenegger said at an economic conference in Long Beach, noting that Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act had significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions while creating more than a half a million clean-energy jobs. "This is the message that is so important for the world," he said, because the state's policies have become a model for other states and nations.
“这就是对全世界如此重要的信息，”他强调，因为该州的政策已成为其他州和国家的榜样。
Newsom noted that the state had met "audacious" goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, touting 39,000 megawatts of clean energy that have been installed in the last seven years, 23,000 megawatts of battery storage created, and that no flex alert has been issued in the state in four years.
纽瑟姆指出，加州已实现了“大胆”的温室气体减排目标，称过去七年已装机清洁能源39,000兆瓦，建设电池储能23,000兆瓦，并且四年来该州未发布任何柔性警报。
"So we're not in the goal-setting business; we're in the how business," he said.
“所以我们不是在设定目标，而是在研究如何实现，”他说。并补充称，清洁能源转型是“美国最关键的国家安全问题”，因为在电动汽车、清洁能源制造和可再生能源部署方面，中国已超越美国，经济和供应链领导地位受到威胁。
He added that the clean energy transition is “the most critical national security issue in the United States of America," with economic and supply chain leadership at stake as China surpasses the U.S. in electric vehicles, clean-energy manufacturing and the deployment of renewables. The state already met the climate change legislation's ambitious target — returning emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 — four years ahead of schedule.
该州已提前四年实现了气候立法的雄心目标——在2020年前将排放量恢复至1990年水平。然而，最新分析显示，加州未能按计划实现未来的减排目标，即到2030年削减40%，到2045年削减85%。
However, recent analyses indicate California is not on track to meet its future targets of cutting emissions 40% by 2030 and 85% by 2045. The legislation paved the way for the creation of California's nation-leading carbon market, cap-and-invest, which launched in 2013.
该立法为加州全国领先的碳市场——“限额与投资”机制铺平了道路，该机制于2013年启动。州议会去年将“限额与投资”机制的期限延长至2045年，且该州正启动与华盛顿州市场对接的进程。
The Legislature extended cap-and-invest's life to 2045 last year, and the state is now initiating the process of linking its market with Washington state. The event as well as a luncheon the prior day in Santa Monica were rare displays of bipartisan unity at a time of heightened political polarization in the United States.
此次活动以及前一天在圣莫尼卡举行的午餐会，在美国政治两极化加剧的时期，难得地展现了两党团结。施瓦辛格和纽森在周三下午的讨论中互相赞扬，并在结束时拥抱。午餐会上，前州长格雷·戴维斯——施瓦辛格曾在2003年召回选举中将其赶下台——以及亿万富翁对冲基金创始人、转为环保斗士的汤姆·斯泰尔（他今年竞选州长未果）等民主党人出席，还有前州议会议长法比恩·努涅斯和前州参议员弗兰·帕夫利，他们在气候变化立法的通过中发挥了关键作用。
Schwarzenegger and Newsom piled praise upon each other during the Wednesday afternoon discussion, hugging at the end. At the luncheon, former Gov. Gray Davis, whom Schwarzenegger ousted from office in the 2003 recall election, as well as billionaire hedge-fund founder turned environmental warrior Tom Steyer, who unsuccessfully ran for governor this year, were among the Democrats in attendance, as well as former state Assembly Speaker Fabien Nunez and former state Sen. Fran Pavley, who were both pivotal in the passage of the climate-change legislation. In addition to remarks highlighting the foundation of some of the nation's bedrock environmental policies, such as former GOP President Richard Nixon creating the Environmental Protection Agency andg the Endangered Species Act, there were moments of levity.
除了突出一些国家根本环境政策奠基的言论之外——例如前共和党总统理查德·尼克松创建环境保护署和《濒危物种法案》——还出现了一些轻松时刻。施瓦辛格说，当共和党同僚对他任命民主党人苏珊·肯尼迪为他的幕僚长表示反对时，他曾对他们说“去你的”，他周二如此透露。在周三会议的分组讨论期间，他提到了他的前妻玛丽亚·施莱弗——肯尼迪家族的后裔——当他谈到希望听取两党人士意见时。
Schwarzenegger said he told fellow Republicans "f— you" when they balked at him naming Susan Kennedy, a Democrat, as his chief of staff, he said Tuesday. During a breakout session at the Wednesday conference, he referenced his former wife, Maria Shriver, a scion of the Kennedy family, as he described his desire to hear from people on both sides of the aisle. "So I had Democrats in my administration, and of course the Republican Party went nuts," he said.
他说：“所以我的政府里有民主党人，而共和党当然疯狂了。”“我不在乎，因为在我看来，我想听听民主党人在想什么。此外，我每晚其实都和一个民主党人同床共枕。”
"I didn't care because, to me, I thought I wanted to hear what the Democrats were thinking. Plus, I was sleeping with one every night anyway."
