美国巴西试图重启多哈谈判
    US and Brazil revive hope for Doha trade deal
 
美国和巴西最高贸易谈判代表周末表示，尽管世界贸易组织(WTO)谈判于上周破裂，但各成员国仍有可能在5至8个月中达成一项全球贸易协定。
 A global trade accord could still be struck within five to eight months despite the collapse of World Trade Organisation talks last week, the top US and Brazilian trade negotiators said at the weekend.
 
美国贸易代表苏珊•施瓦布(Susan Schwab)和巴西外交部长塞尔索•阿莫里姆(Celso Amorim)称，他们将敦促其它成员国考虑使多哈回合谈判重返正轨的措施。
 Susan Schwab, the US trade representative, and Celso Amorim, Brazil’s foreign minister, said they would press others to see what could be done to put the Doha round talks back on track.
 
施瓦布在里约热内卢与阿莫里姆会晤后表示：“巴西和美国正在率先作出努力，以助重启多哈回合谈判。我们认为，今天的会晤是这一进程的开始，我们希望其它国家的同仁也能支持这一进程。”
 Speaking after meeting Mr Amorim in Rio de Janeiro, Ms Schwab said: “Brazil and the US are leaders in this effort to help revive the Doha round, and we see our meeting today as the beginning of a process that we hope our colleagues from other countries will also support.”
 
“我们相信这是有可能的，但它不会从天上自己掉下来。”阿莫里姆称。
 “We believe it is possible, but it won’t fall from the sky,” Mr Amorim said.
