It was a curious(奇怪的，奇特的) way of conducting negotiations. Ahead of the 2025 climate summit, in the Amazonian port of Belém last year, the Brazilian hosts had taken off the table the issue that most had assumed would be at its heart: concrete plans from each country laying out exactly what they would be doing to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.(去年在亚马逊港口贝伦举行2025年气候峰会之前，巴西东道主把大多数人以为会成为核心的议题撤下了谈判桌：各国拿出具体计划，明确说明将如何削减温室气体排放。)
这是一种奇怪的谈判方式。去年在亚马逊河港口贝伦举行的2025年气候峰会之前，巴西东道主把大多数人以为会成为核心的议题从谈判桌上撤了下来：各国拿出具体计划，明确说明自己将如何削减温室气体排放。
Brazil was insisting, instead, that these plans – the bedrock(基石，基础) of the Paris agreement – were the business of national governments and not up for negotiation(可供谈判的). “In that case, it will be a very short Cop,” one seasoned(经验丰富的) global south(全球南方，指发展中国家) negotiator told the Guardian shortly before, reflecting a widespread unease(反映出普遍的不安). “There is nothing to negotiate.”
巴西反而坚持认为，这些计划——巴黎协定的基石——是各国政府自己的事，不容谈判。“那样的话，这次缔约方会议会非常短，”一位资深的全球南方谈判代表在会前不久告诉《卫报》，反映出普遍的不安。“没什么可谈的。”
“They have decided that there is no appetite(意愿，欲望) for negotiation, with the US out of Paris,” said another developing country diplomat. “Countries won’t engage(参与，投入).”
“他们认定，美国退出巴黎协定后，各方没有谈判的意愿，”另一位发展中国家外交官说。“各国不会参与。”
