環境話題是歷年口譯考試的熱點話題之一，今年的環保話題的重點在于低碳（low carbon）二字。低碳絕對是當下社會最為時尚的詞匯，因為它涉及到經濟涉及到社會涉及到民生的方方面面，從京都議定書以來，碳排放量就一直是環境問題的一個關鍵點，口譯考試一直熱衷于考察經濟和環境等話題，因此與低碳的相關詞匯大家要做好積累。
在全球暖化（global warming）導致的氣候變化（climate change）的威脅之下，全球正直面低碳挑戰（low-carbon challenge），因此，發展低碳經濟，減少碳排放（carbon emission reduction），倡導低碳生活方式不但勢在必行，而且是我們每一個地球人都必須重視和行動起來的頭等大事。
1.低碳 Low-Carbon
2. 低碳經濟 Low-Carbon Economy（LCE）
A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is a concept that refers to an economy which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
3. 低碳生活 Low-Carbon Life
相關英語表達見如下例句：
（1）A one-year carbon emission reduction program proposed by China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) was started here Wednesday, on World Earth Day, to encourage citizens nationwide to adjust their lifestyle. and live a "low-carbon" lifestyle. A low-carbon lifestyle. covers many aspects of modern life, such as transportation, home heating, and holiday travel, which can be conducted in a way that gives the maximum reduction of personal carbon emissions.
（2）As the Copenhagen Climate Conference is drawing near, more and more debate about low-carbon lifestyle. come forth.
（3）Just this year, the low-carbon lifestyle, or Lifestyle. of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS), suddenly became trendy in China, particularly among young urbanites, Lin said.
與“低碳生活方式”相關的說法還有“低碳生活”，即low-carbon life，相關搭配就是lead a low-carbon life，因為“低碳經濟”提出的大背景是全球氣候變暖對人類生存和發展的嚴峻挑戰，因此，“低碳生活方式”還可以表達為 climate-friendly lifestyles
