Many of the world’s top soccer players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, will be wearing shirts made of old plastic bottles at the World Cup in South Africa.

包括克里斯蒂亞諾·羅納爾多在內(nèi)的許多世界頂級(jí)足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員都將身穿由廢舊塑料瓶制成的球衣參加南非世界杯。

Nike said shirts for the nine national teams wearing its gear, including one of the favourites Brazil, would be made from polyester recycled from used bottles. Each shirt would use up to eight plastic bottles retrieved from Japanese and Taiwanese landfill sites.

耐克公司表示，九支國(guó)家隊(duì)將身著他們用從廢舊瓶子中回收的聚酯纖維制作的球衣，包括最受歡迎的球隊(duì)之一巴西隊(duì)。每件球衣要用掉八個(gè)塑料瓶，而這些塑料瓶是從日本和中國(guó)臺(tái)灣的垃圾填埋場(chǎng)回收而來(lái)的。

All of the nine teams, who also include Portugal, Netherlands and the United States, will wear the shirts.

包括葡萄牙、荷蘭和美國(guó)在內(nèi)的這九支球隊(duì)的球員都將身著這種球衣。

Nike says they will keep players drier and cooler than previous kit while reducing energy consumption in manufacture by 30 percent compared to normal polyester.

耐克表示，與先前的球衣相比，這種球衣更能使球員保持干爽、涼快，而且在能源生產(chǎn)消費(fèi)方面比普通的聚酯纖維要少30%。

Manufacture of the shirts, which will also be sold to fans, used 13 million plastic bottles – enough to fill 29 football pitches – the U.S. company said in a media release. The bottles were melted to produce polyester yarn, which Nike says will ensure the most environmentally-friendly kit ever.

這家美國(guó)公司曾對(duì)媒體表示，他們使用了1300 萬(wàn)個(gè)塑料瓶——足以覆蓋29 個(gè)足球場(chǎng)——制作而成的這些球衣也將會(huì)出售給球迷。

“We are equipping athletes with newly designed uniforms that not only look great and deliver performance benefits, but are also made with recycled materials, creating less impact on our environment,” said Charlie Denson, president of Nike Brand.

耐克說(shuō)，這些瓶子融化后形成滌綸紗，這就確保讓其成為最環(huán)保的球衣?！扒騿T們穿的這種新型球衣不僅樣式新穎、能讓他們保持最佳狀態(tài)，而且使用的是再生材料，對(duì)環(huán)境影響小?！?耐克品牌的總裁查利·登森如是說(shuō)。

　　
South Africa says carbon emissions from the World Cup are expected to soar compared with the 2006 tournament in Germany, but it will invest in carbon credits to mitigate the impact.

南非方面表示，與2006 年德國(guó)世界杯相比，此次世界杯的碳排放量預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)增加，不過(guò)他們會(huì)購(gòu)買碳信用以減輕這種影響。
