新加坡威胁要起诉那些应对邻国印度尼西亚多年来最严重火灾负责的企业。这场持续不散、气味刺鼻的雾霾正让地区国家日益不满,可能使外交关系出现裂痕。
Lawrence Wong, the Singaporean prime minister, said his government was distributing masks to vulnerable(脆弱的,易受伤害的) citizens and working with countries in the region to deal with the smoke. “At the same time, we are looking into which companies may be responsible for the fires,” he said in a Facebook post on Thursday, adding that he was exploring the idea of “joint action with other countries”.(他周四在脸书发帖说:“与此同时,我们正在调查哪些企业可能对火灾负有责任。”他还表示,正在探讨“与其他国家联合行动”的设想。)
