There are unlikely to be many bigger moments in Australian community action(社区行动) on the climate crisis this year than a judgment(判决) by the high court on Wednesday.
今年澳大利亚社区在气候危机方面的行动中，周三高等法院的一项判决很可能算得上最重大的时刻之一。
In what may prove a historic(历史性的) victory, the court sided with(支持、站在……一边) a handful of community members in the Hunter Valley to overturn(推翻) a state regulator’s approval of a coalmine expansion that allowed it to operate until 2048. This doesn’t happen every day, and the judgment could have ramifications(后果、影响) for other coal developments in New South Wales.
法院站在了亨特谷少数社区成员一边，推翻了州监管机构对一座煤矿扩建的批准，该批准原本允许其运营至2048年。这或许将证明是一场历史性的胜利。这种事并非天天发生，而该判决可能对新南威尔士州的其他煤炭开发项目产生连锁影响。
If comments he made in May are taken at face value(从表面上看), the decision won’t please Anthony Albanese. Speaking on 2HD radio in Newcastle, the prime minister said the renewable transition(转型、过渡) was needed, but the government supported “existing industries(现有产业)” – that is, coal. He hoped the community group would lose as the Mount Pleasant mine expansion had “been through appropriate approvals(通过了适当的审批)”.
如果从他5月的言论表面来看，这一判决不会让安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯高兴。在纽卡斯尔2HD电台讲话时，这位总理表示需要向可再生能源转型，但政府支持“现有产业”——也就是煤炭。他希望社区团体败诉，因为芒特普莱森特煤矿扩建“已经通过了适当的审批”。
