我記得是1號吧?在那個炎熱的日子裡,我與CNN進行了戶外專訪。我盡可能地用英文說出了我的想法。現在想起來,那天在場的所有人都相當辛苦,因此想藉由這個機會再次對各位表達感謝之意。當天汗如雨下的CNN工作人員,以及首爾市工作人員,各位辛苦了!
那是個名為「The City」的節目,內容涉及全球氣候變化,介紹了隸屬於C40(世界大都市氣候先導集團)的城市們,包括約翰內斯堡、鹿特丹、休士頓、里約熱內盧,以及首爾。我作為首爾市長,在節目中談到首爾市為因應氣候變化,與國際機構及城市間的合作、新再生能源活用及擴大計畫、環保交通文化實踐,以及在此過程中的市民參與等的內容。昨天已經播出,各位可透過下列方式收看。
「The City」節目為Interactive campaign的一環,透過推特的#MyCityWish,向民眾徵求「市民若能擔任一日市長,想要做什麼呢?」的意見,各位不妨參與這個活動。不過說真的,我也很好奇若各位市民能成為一日市長,最想要做什麼呢?。那麼,接下來就請參考節目中所出現的英文內容翻譯吧。
