What worries Iceland? A world without ice. It is preparing.

什么导致冰岛的担忧？一个没有冰的世界，正在准备变成现实。

Glaciers occupy over a tenth of Iceland. As temperatures rise across the Arctic nearly faster than any place on the planet, all of Iceland is considering the changing landscape and climate a matter of national urgency, and grappling with the prospect of a future with no ice.

冰川几乎占据了整个冰岛。但随着北极的温度，在以超过地球上任何地方的温度变化速度在升高时，整个冰岛都在考虑地貌变化和气候变化，这是该国的当务之急。并且与在未来可能没有冰的情况作斗争。

Glacier：冰川、冰河

occupy：占领、占据

Arctic：北极

grappling：搏斗、扭打、努力设法解决

prospect：前景、可能性、设想、成功的机会、前途

ice：冰

Energy producers are upgrading hydroelectric power plants and experimenting with burying carbon dioxide in rock to keep it out of the atmosphere. The fishing industry is slashing fossil fuel use with energy-efficient ships.

能源生产商正在升级水力发电能源工厂并且实验将二氧化碳埋入石头中，保持它们与大气的分开状态。捕鱼工业正在用节能的船舶来大幅减少化石燃料的使用。

hydroelectric：水力发电

plant：植物、工厂

burying：埋葬

carbon dioxide：二氧化碳

keep it out of … ：保持“it”与…分离

slashing：大幅度减少

fossil fuel：化石燃料

energy-efficient：节能、高能源效率（类似热效率高）

The government is budgeting $55 million over five years for reforestation, land conservation and carbon-free transport projects to slash greenhouse gas emissions. More will be spent by 2040, when Iceland expects businesses, organizations and individuals to be removing as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they put in.

政府正在编写一笔5500万美元的预算，用于在未来5年内进行植树造林和土地保护，以及无碳运输项目，以大幅减少温室气体的排放。到2040年将会投入更多预算，直到达到冰岛在商业，社会组织和个人上期望的，即去除大气中的二氧化碳的量多于其排放的时候。

budget：v.编写预算

reforestation：植树造林

land conservation：土地保护

emission：排放

最后一句话词汇不复杂但特别长，自己觉得翻译苦难也不用觉得啥，我自己翻译了都快有10分钟了QAQ

"Climate change is no longer something to be joked about in Iceland or anywhere, " Gudni Jóhannesson, Iceland's president, said in an interview, adding that most Icelanders believe human activity plays a role. "We are taking responsibility to seek practical solutions. But we can do better, " he said.

冰岛的总统GJ在一次采访中说到：“在冰岛或任何地方的气候变化，都不再是可以开玩笑的事情了。”他补充到，大多数冰岛人都认为是人类的活动导致的。为此，他说：“我们正在承担责任，以寻找切实可行的解决方案，但我们还可以做的更好。”

no longer to do：不再是可以…

plays a role：发挥了作用、扮演一个角色

seek practical solutions：寻找切实可行的解决方案

Bigger nations like Norway and Finland have cut emissions more, and over 190 other countries except the United States have pledged to combat climate change under the Paris agreement. But with the impact in Iceland more visible than in other nations, it is doing what it can — while trying to turn the warming climate into an economic advantage.

更大的国家像挪威和芬兰已经在进一步的减少排放，并且除了美国外的190个其他国家已经承诺根据巴黎协议以应对气候变化。但由于（气候）对冰岛的影响比别的国家更加明显，它正在尽其所能——同时努力将气候变暖转化为经济优势。

have pledged：已经承诺

combat：应对、搏斗、战斗

visible：adj.明显的、看得见的

while：与…同时、在…期间、虽然

"Let's look at practical solutions instead of being filled with despair, " Jóhannesson said.
