Hello.
大家好。

And I'm Neil.我是尼尔。
In this programme, we’re discussing low emission zones and explaining some useful items of vocabulary along the way.在本期节目中，我们将讨论低排放区，并在此过程中解释一些有用的词汇。
Well, that's good, Sam.嗯，好的，萨姆。
But what exactly is a low emission zone?但低排放区到底是什么？
Well, the noun emission is an amount of, usually, gas, that is sent out into the air and harms the environment,好的，名词“排放”通常是指一定数量的气体，它被排放到空气中，并危害环境，
it’s pollution.它就是污染。
And a low emission zone is an area of a city where the amount of pollution is controlled.低排放区是指污染量得到控制的城市区域。
Of course, and cities like London have them.当然，像伦敦这样的城市就有低排放区。
Most vehicles, including cars and vans, need to meet certain emissions standards,大多数车辆，包括轿车和货车，都需要达到一定的排放标准，
or their drivers must pay a daily charge to drive within the zone,不然其驾驶员就必须每日交费才能在该区域行驶，
or they might even be banned altogether.或者甚至可能被完全禁止在该区域行驶。
Exactly. It’s all about making the air we breathe cleaner.正是。那一切都是为了让我们呼吸的空气更清洁。

And my question today is about one UK city which recently announced it wants to be the country’s first net zero city,我今天的问题是关于英国的一个城市，它最近宣布它想成为英国第一个“净零”城市，

Ah yes, I've heard about this and I'm sure it is a) Glasgow.啊，是的，我听说过这个，我确定是a)格拉斯哥。
OK, I'll let you know if that was correct at the end of the programme.好的，在节目最后我会让你知道是否正确。
