近日，中国日报的一则关于饮食的新闻引起了人们的关注。我们先看一下新闻的内容：
This new study will have you rethinking your lunch — in more ways than one
这项新研究将让人们从多个方面重新思考午餐
A study published in October in the journal Nature Food shows that simple substitutions (chicken instead of beef in tacos, for example) can greatly decrease the carbon footprint of a typical U.S. diet while improving dietary quality.
10月份发表在《自然食品》杂志上的一项研究表明，简单的替代品(例如，在墨西哥卷饼中用鸡肉代替牛肉)可以大大减少典型美国饮食的碳足迹，同时提高饮食质量。

Other substitutions, such as cod instead of shrimp, or plant-based instead of dairy milk, can also reduce emissions while enhancing diets.
其他替代品，如用鳕鱼代替虾，或用植物性牛奶代替乳制品，也可以在改善饮食的同时减少排放。
The authors of the study found thatlower-carbon foodstypically have better “Healthy Eating Index” scores, making them good for you as well as good for the planet.
该研究的作者发现，低碳食物通常具有更好的“健康饮食指数”分数, 它们对人们和地球都有好处。
新闻中提到的“lower-carbon foods”即低碳食物。你可能会问：什么是低碳食物？
Low-carbon foods 低碳食物
In the production and consumption process of food (including processing and transportation), food with low energy consumption and low emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is called low-carbon food, and vice versa is called high carbon food.
在食品的生产过程和消费过程中（包括加工和运输），耗能低、二氧化碳及其他温室气体排出量少的食物称之为低碳食物，反之就是高碳食物。
如果你在网上搜索“低碳食物“，会发现还有一个说法是low carb foods, 这个词和low-carbon foods是一个意思吗？答案是：No。那么low carb foods 是什么食物呢？
Low carb foodsare products that arelow in carbohydrate contentand high in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients. They are satisfying, nutritionally dense, and healthy and help dieters to lose extra weight. Some food groups are low in carbohydrates, including lean meat, dairies, fish, and vegetables.
低碳水食物是指碳水化合物含量较低的食物，具体包括水果、蔬菜、谷物、肉类、奶制品等。低碳水食物主要是针对减肥人群，或需要控制血糖的人群。下面这张图列出了常见的低碳水食物。
合理控制碳水食物的摄入可以有效地帮助我们减肥。低碳水饮食要注意避免一些食物，下面的这个视频讲了三种我们意想不到的高碳水食物，看一看它是否改变了你的一些认知呢？
Low-carbon lifestyle
低碳食物是我们通过饮食上的简单改变来减少碳足迹的一种途径。除了饮食的改变，我们还可以在出行习惯，购物习惯等方面养成低碳生活方式，应对气候变化。
transport
Changing your travel routine to avoid one car trip per day can save half a metric ton of CO2 per year. At the same time, alternative transportation like biking or walking can lead to improved fitness and decrease air pollution from automobile exhaust. You can carpool one day a week without giving up your car.
改变出行习惯，每天少开一次车，每年可以减少半公吨二氧化碳。同时，像骑自行车或步行这样的替代交通方式可以改善健康状况，减少汽车尾气造成的空气污染。你可以每周用一天拼车而无需放弃开车。
clothes
Buy fewer new clothes and wear them longer. Seek out sustainable labels and use rental services for special occasions rather than buying new items that will only be worn once. Recycle pre-loved clothes and repair when necessary. Hanging laundry to dry can save you money while decreasing your carbon footprint.
少买新衣服，衣服穿得久一点。寻找可持续的标签，在特殊场合使用租赁服务，而不是购买只穿一次的新衣服。回收旧衣服，必要时进行修补。晾衣服既能省钱，又能减少碳足迹。
food
You can buy different ingredients for a casserole without becoming a vegetarian. You can try to decrease food waste without changing your diet. There is the decrease in greenhouse gas emissions itself, which can be surprisingly large, particularly as a result of changes to diet.
你可以买不同的原料来做砂锅，而无需成为素食主义者。你可以尝试减少食物浪费，而无需改变饮食习惯。温室气体排放量本身就有所减少，尤其是由于饮食的改变，这可能会惊人地大。
Small changes add up in many ways. Another benefit to these small changes is that they are immediate: They keep carbon out of the atmosphere starting from your first lasagna with plant-based meat.
微小的变化在很多方面累积起来。这些小变化的另一个好处是它们立竿见影：从你的第一个植物肉千层面开始，它们就可以将碳排除在大气之外。
低碳生活别忽视了这些小事
Carbon-peaking Pilot Projects
碳达峰试点建设方案
China will launch carbon-peaking pilot projects in 100 cities and zones nationwide to solve bottlenecks constraining the country’s green and low-carbon development and explore paths toward carbon-peaking for different areas, according to a plan issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on Monday.
国家发展改革委11月6日对外发布《国家碳达峰试点建设方案》（以下简称《方案》）。《方案》明确，在全国范围内选择100个具有典型代表性的城市和园区开展碳达峰试点建设，聚焦破解绿色低碳发展面临的瓶颈制约，探索不同城市和园区碳达峰路径。
National Low-carbon Day
全国低碳日
为普及气候变化知识，宣传低碳发展理念和政策，鼓励公众参与，推动落实控制温室气体排放任务，2012年9月19日举行的国务院常务会议上决定设立全国低碳日。2013年6月17日为首个“全国低碳日”。自2013年起，将全国节能宣传周的第三天设立为“全国低碳日”，旨在坚持“以人为本”的理念，加强适应气候变化和防灾减灾的宣传教育。今年“全国低碳日“定为7月12日，活动主题是“积极应对气候变化，推动绿色低碳发展”。

01
原文
随着环境保护意识的传播，“低碳（low-carbon）”这个词变得非常流行。在许多领域都出现了这个词，如低碳产品，低碳消费，低碳旅游等。“低碳生活”是一种新型生活方式，旨在尽量减少生活中的二氧化碳(carbon dioxide emisson)排放。例如 ，一些上班族不再以开私家车通勤自豪，而是以骑车或乘坐公共交通工具而骄傲。此外，他们提倡水的循环利用，并尽可能节约能源。
02
参考译文
As the consciousness of environmental protection spreads, the word “low-carbon” has been very popular. It can be found in many aspects, such as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, low-carbon travel, and so on. “Low-carbon life” is a new pattern of lifestyle, aiming to lower the carbon dioxide emission in living as much as possible. For example, some office commuters are not proud of driving private cars anymore，but pride themselves on cycling or taking public transportation. In addition, they advocate recycling water and saving energy as much as they can.
低碳生活代表着更健康，更自然、更安全，返璞归真地去进行人与自然的活动。生态文明离不开低碳生活，低碳生活的最终目的就是为了实现生态文明。让我们一起关注气候变化影响，采取积极行动，践行绿色低碳生产生活方式，共同推动绿色低碳发展。
