For one last time, António Guterres tried to fix(使固定；集中（目光）) the world’s gaze upon the dangerously escalating(不断升级的) climate crisis. But the departing UN secretary general found world leaders still largely focused on other issues, even after a painful summer of stunning climate-driven disasters.(但这位即将卸任的联合国秘书长发现，即便在经历了气候灾难频发、令人痛心的一个夏天之后，世界领导人仍然大多关注其他议题。)
安东尼奥·古特雷斯最后一次试图让世界把目光投向危险升级的气候危机。但这位即将卸任的联合国秘书长发现，即便在经历了气候灾难频发、令人痛心的一个夏天之后，世界领导人仍然大多关注其他议题。
Speaking to assembled dignitaries(政要；显贵) at the UN on Tuesday, Guterres railed against(痛斥；严厉谴责) big oil(大型石油公司) for treating “the atmosphere as an open sewer(露天下水道)” and warned again of the catastrophic(灾难性的) effects of the climate crisis.
周二，古特雷斯在联合国对聚集一堂的政要发表讲话，痛斥大型石油公司把“大气层当作露天下水道”，并再次警告气候危机将带来灾难性后果。
Guterres said: “Three years ago, in the mountains of Nepal, I sounded the alarm(发出警报) on accelerating glacier melt, warning that the rooftops of the world(世界屋脊) are caving in(塌陷；崩溃). Some dismissed(不予理会；否定) it all as overstating(夸大) dangers.
古特雷斯说：“三年前，在尼泊尔的山脉中，我就冰川加速融化发出警报，警告说世界的屋顶正在塌陷。有些人却认为这不过是危言耸听。”
