Shortly after the Norwegian stock market closed on 17 June 2026, a few dozen local people from the small west coast town of Vevring crowded around(围聚在……周围) a laptop in a school. Surrounded by children’s drawings and windows looking out over Førde fjord, they listened as news arrived from Oslo. Norway’s supreme court had ruled against its government: a permit to release mining waste directly into the fjord two miles upstream was illegal, the court said.(挪威最高法院裁定政府败诉：法院表示，允许在上游两英里处向峡湾直接排放采矿废料的许可属于违法。)
2026年6月17日，挪威股市收盘后不久，西海岸小镇韦夫林的一群当地人挤在一所学校里，围着一台笔记本电脑。周围是孩子们的画作，窗外是弗勒峡湾的景色，他们聆听着从奥斯陆传来的消息。挪威最高法院裁定政府败诉：法院表示，允许在上游两英里处向峡湾直接排放采矿废料的许可属于违法。
The moment marked the end of a 17-year fight, one of Norway’s most protracted(旷日持久的) environmental battles in living memory(在世人记忆中). In Oslo, Ingvild Fonn Asmervik, the project leader for Naturvernforbundet (Friends of the Earth Norway)(挪威自然保护协会), compared the joy she felt to giving birth to her child. For Anne-Line Thingnes Førsund, a third-generation fisher living on the banks of the fjord in Vevring and a volunteer for the charity’s local branch, it was more of a relief(解脱、宽慰). Like a mountain lifting off her shoulders(像一座大山从肩上卸下), she said.
这一刻标志着长达17年的抗争画上句号，这是挪威人记忆中最旷日持久的环境斗争之一。在奥斯陆，挪威自然保护协会（Naturvernforbundet）的项目负责人英格维尔德·丰·阿斯梅尔维克将自己当时的喜悦比作生孩子。而对于安妮-莉内·廷内斯·弗尔松德来说，这更像是一种解脱。她是住在韦夫林峡湾岸边的第三代渔民，也是该慈善机构当地分支的志愿者。她说，就像一座大山从肩上卸下。
These feelings of elation(欣喜若狂) were short-lived(短暂的). While Førsund and others celebrated, a government lawyer appeared on a television debate show to set out plans for a new temporary permit, and to allow the mine to continue to release waste directly into the fjord in the meantime.(就在弗尔松德等人庆祝之际，一名政府律师出现在电视辩论节目中，阐述了发放新的临时许可的计划，并允许矿场在此期间继续向峡湾直接排放废料。) Four days later, the mine applied for fresh permission, and in late September, it was granted by Norway’s climate and environment ministry.
这种欣喜若狂的情绪转瞬即逝。就在弗尔松德等人庆祝之际，一名政府律师出现在电视辩论节目中，阐述了发放新的临时许可的计划，并允许矿场在此期间继续向峡湾直接排放废料。四天后，矿场申请了新的许可，并于9月底获得了挪威气候与环境部的批准。
