2、One of the main themes of the summit was “sustainable development”, or the question how we can continue developing the world without damaging the environment.
其主題之一是“可持續(xù)發(fā)展”，也就是如何在不破壞環(huán)境的情況下讓世界繼續(xù)發(fā)展的問題。
這句中or = that is進(jìn)一步說明或解釋，不作“或者，選擇”解。

二、閱讀理解：
Thus the speech ended. Lincoln spoke for less than three minutes: the photographer who was standing in front of him did not even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began.
On the platform Edward Everett, the great speechmaker, whispered to Secretary of State Seward: “It is not what I expected from him. I am disappointed.” Seward, too, thought that the President had given a poor speech.
Lincoln himself felt bad about his speech: he thought that it did not have the effect that he hoped it would have, that in fact it “fell on the audience like a wet blanket.” Later he said, “I ought to have prepared it with more care.”
The newspapers too were not impressed by the President’s Gettysburg Address. The nearby Harrisburg paper considered it “silly” while the reporter of the London Times thought the speech dull and commonplace. The first favorable comment came from the Chicago Tribune, and was followed by the Springfield Republican, a Massachusetts newspaper. “Turn back and read it over,” it advised. “It will repay study as a model speech …”
