Over half of the indicators showed the world is “well off track” to cutting emissions but added that promising progress has been made.</p> <p><strong>*track: 추적하다, 뒤쫓다; 길, 발자국</strong></p> <p><strong>*pledge: 약속하다, 맹세</strong></p> <p><strong>*wean off: ~가 ~을 끊게 하다, 그만두게 하다</strong></p> <p><strong>*ramp up: 강화시키다, 증가시키다</strong></p> <p><strong>*off track: 길에서 벗어나다,</strong></p> <p><strong>*promising: 유망한, 촉망되는, 확실한</strong></p> <p>기사원문: <a href="https://www.koreaherald.co
