苏伊士新创建获四座污水处理厂特许经营权
SUEZ NWS Wins Concession for Four Wastewater Treatment Plants
苏伊士新创建日前宣布，在继续为常熟的四座污水处理厂以O&M模式提供运营和管理的同时，又与常熟市水利局签订为期30年的特许经营协议，拥有该四座污水处理厂及其运营权，进一步推动政府实现常熟市供排水一体化的目标。
SUEZ NWS has increased its presence in Changshu by extending its previous O&M services for four Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) into a concession contract. The 30-year agreement gives SUEZ NWS ownership and operational rights of the four WWTPs and further enables the government of Changshu to implement integrated water supply and drainage solutions across the city.
根据协议，常熟中法水务将负责管理这四座污水处理厂并将其处理能力由目前的8万立方米/日扩至18万立方米/日，为常熟市10个镇区约90万居民和工商客户提供服务。
Pursuant to the agreement, Changshu Sino French Water will take over management of four WWTPs which will be extended to a capacity of 180,000 m3/day from the existing 80,000 m3/day. The four WWTPs serve roughly 900,000 residential, industrial and commercial users across 10 Changshu districts.
在接管这四座污水处理厂的资产和设施后，常熟中法水务将对其收集的市政及工业污水进行严格处理，确保符合现行标准。
After taking over the infrastructure and assets, Changshu Sino French Water will treat the industrial and municipal wastewater to ensure compliance with the existing rigorous standards.
未来也将根据需要对污水处理厂进行提标改造和扩建以符合更高的标准。
It will also expand and upgrade the plants’ facilities where necessary, to meet even higher standards in future.

星展称银行业新形态的时代已经到来
DBS Signals Time Has Come For New Kind of Banking
星展银行日前发布品牌新战略，揭示银行业新形态的时代已经到来。
DBS Bank recently signalled that the time hascome for a new kind of banking.
星展银行将 “Live more, Bank less” 定位为星展银行下一步发展的主题。
DBS is evolving its positioning to“Live more, Bank less”.
“Live more, Bank less” 是星展银行致力于 “成就客户更美好生活” 的承诺，其中包括：新加坡和香港特别行政区客户通过“DBS iWealth”可以获得及时资讯,不仅是复杂的投资组合和业绩表现分析，还包括和他们投资组合和偏好相关的最新调研报告和投资观点。

全球空调数量将飙升至56亿台
The number of air-conditioners worldwide is predicted to 5.6 billion units
据《纽约时报》报道，国际能源署(International Energy Agency)日前发布报告显示，到本世纪中期，全球的空调数量预计会从今天的16亿台飙升至56亿台。
The number of air-conditioners worldwide is predicted to soar from 1.6 billion units today to 5.6 billion units by midcentury, according to a report issued recently by the International Energy Agency.
报告称，到2050年，给空调机供电的燃煤和天然气发电厂排放的温室气体将接近翻倍，从2016年的12.5亿吨增长至22.8亿吨。这些排放将导致全球变暖，可能进一步加剧人们对空调的需求。
Greenhouse gas emissions released by coal and natural gas plants when generating electricity to power those air-conditioners would nearly double, from 1.25 billion tons in 2016 to 2.28 billion tons in 2050, the report says. Those emissions would contribute to global warming, which could further heighten the demand for air-conditioning.
目前，空调的使用集中在少数几个国家，主要是美国和日本，中国也在逐渐增多。
Right now air-conditioning is concentrated in a handful of countries, mainly in theUnited StatesandJapan, and increasingly inChina.
能源署预计，空调的增长大部分会出现在印度、中国和印度尼西亚。
The energy agency predicts much of the growth in air-conditioning will occur inIndia,ChinaandIndonesia.
有专家指出，电力价格也应该在发展中国家发挥作用。让人们通过支付电费的方式为排放负责，再加上取消补贴，将会鼓励人们使用更高效的空调，修建更有利于可持续发展的建筑。
Experts point out that electricity prices must also play a role in developing countries. Accounting for emissions in the cost of electricity and removing subsidies would encourage more efficient air-conditioning and more sustainable buildings.
