昨天清晨，采莲工人在西湖后孤山荷区采摘荷叶和莲蓬。 STOCKHOLM -- A ban on gasoline and diesel-fueled cars from a commercial district of Stockholm's downtown in 2025 will be the first for a European capital, a city official said Thursday.The ban will take effect in a 20-block area of shops, pedestrian walkways and a few homes in order to curb pollution, reduce noise and encourage use of electric vehicles said Lars Strömgren, the city council member for the Greens who's in charge of the Swedish capital's transportation. Many European capitals have restrictions on gasoline and diesel cars, but Strömgren says Stockholm’s complete ban would be a first. “We need to eliminate the harmful exhaust gases from (gasoline) and diesel cars. That’s why we are introducing the most ambitious low-emission zone to date,” Strömgren told The Associated Press. The idea is to create an "environmental zone” where only electric vehicles will be allowed. There will be some exceptions such as for emergency vehicles and transportation for the disabled.In its budget for 2024, the left-leaning, environmentally-focused city council on Tuesday unveiled the plan for the target area just north of the city’s famed Old Town. The municipal government controls a majority in the council, so the vote set for Nov. 23 is expected to be a formality. “We are pretty proud, I must say,” Strömgren said, adding that gradual expansion of the environmental zone would be decided in the first half of 2025.One of the city’s main cab companies, Taxi Stockholm, said its transition to emission-free vehicles is moving at a fast pace. The company’s acting chief executive Pernilla Samuelsson said it's emission-free vehicles now make up 30% of its fleet - almost seven times more than last year. “In other words, the transition is going fast and it is already being driven forward by the industry,” Samuelson said.Some aren't convinced things will go smoothly. Nike Örbrink from the opposition Christian Democrats told the Aftonbladet newspaper that some are concerned the plan would hurt businesses and the hotel industry.Other European capitals harbor similar ambitions. The Dutch capital, Amsterdam, is aiming for all transport in the city, including automobiles, to be emissions-free by 2030.The mayor of Paris wanted to ban all diesel cars before next year’s Olympics, and gasoline cars by 2030, but has run up against resistance.Currently, any diesel cars built before 2006 and gasoline cars built before 1997 are banned in Paris and 77 surrounding towns for 12 hours a day on weekdays. The ban will expand in 2025 for diesel cars built before 2011 and pre-2006 gasoline vehicles.___Jan Olsen reported from Copenhagen, Denmark.

大雨过后的清晨，西湖被一层薄雾笼罩，空气潮湿闷热，经过风雨洗礼的荷花屹然挺立。
二 | 昨天是西湖莲蓬、荷叶义卖的第一天。杭州人对“西湖牌”莲蓬、荷叶是有情结的，每年这时候，仿佛只有收到这份来自西湖里的清甜味道，夏天才算完整。
三 | 为了替大家瞧瞧莲蓬、荷叶的采摘情况，记者起了个大早，5点半就赶到了后孤山，在密密匝匝的荷叶中寻找“采莲人”。荷区内部错综复杂，荷叶层层叠叠，穿行其中，只能远远看到荷叶在动，船工们来来回回，在荷花间游弋着收割。他们是西湖水域管理处湖面养护队的“采莲人”，进入荷区后，一般会在荷叶密集的地方采摘。“采莲人”在湖中穿行，靠的是一只墨绿色的澡盆，大小刚好够坐下一个人。为什么不直接用船？因为船身太长，直接驶入荷区容易碰坏茎和花苞，用“澡盆”就要灵活许多，长时间坐在里面，还是蛮累的——必须蜷腿，再划水、采摘。
四 | 荷叶秆儿上都长着一层刺，为了防止受伤，“采莲人”一般都是全副武装，防水长袖、长裤、帽子、手套，跟蒸桑拿一样，上岸的时候都是浑身湿透。7点，阳光从云层中探出来，“采莲人”划着满载荷叶和莲蓬的澡盆，回到工作船。
五 | 完成采摘任务后，他们把带着露水的莲蓬和荷叶搬上船，运送到位于柳浪闻莺微笑亭的售卖现场。
六 | 接下来的事，就不归他们管了，志愿者和现场工作人员会分拣、整理，进行义卖。7点20分，记者来到了钱王祠码头附近的柳浪闻莺“微笑亭”，今年的西湖莲蓬、荷叶线下义卖点。西湖宿雨未干，亭子前已经排起了队。今年的义卖继续采用“先领号、后购买”的方式。
七 | 现场发号的保安说，7点已经有二三十人在排队了。队伍里大多是早起的老人，领完票后，有的在一旁晨练，有的三三两两说着闲话，消磨时间，等待领取。今年88岁的洪老先生，早上6点来到这里，领到第5号。
八 | 他说，打小就在西湖边捉鱼摸虾，从北山街第一次义卖算起，十几年来，他一次都没落下。荷叶拿回去，晒干了泡茶，或者做荷叶粉蒸肉，都是老底子的吃法。西湖莲市不是老年人的专场。今年来得最早的是一位新高三的女生，小姑娘说她去年也来了，拿到了18号，今年想着再早一点，于是凌晨4点多从滨江家里出发，骑车专程赶来，4点40分到达，成功抢到第1号，她打算把荷叶带给家里的长辈泡茶。她笑着说：“放暑假时间比较空闲，早起就当锻炼。”8点30分，微笑亭的荷叶、莲蓬准时发放。付款、核验盖章、提货，每人限购一份西湖“爱心莲莲套餐”（包含3个莲蓬+5张荷叶，每份10元），10分钟左右就售完了，整个过程就像一场快闪。买到荷叶的朋友纷纷表示“太高兴了”，满怀喜悦地将“战利品”捧在手中，有的低头嗅着袋中的荷叶，有的把荷叶举过头顶拍照……每个人脸上都挂着笑容。他们当中有人年年来排队，也有刚好带着孩子早锻炼，碰巧遇到这场义卖，看着价格实惠，就想给家里人带一些的。发放荷叶前，一位身着唐风圆领袍的男子与身旁云髻高绾的夫人，在亭前唱起了一首关于吴越的歌谣。他们是扮演钱镠和吴夫人的NPC，“满堂花醉三千客”“陌上花开缓缓归”……唱词从湖风中穿过，人们纷纷围住两人，举起手机拍照。分发莲蓬、荷叶时，“钱镠”和“夫人”微笑着将一袋袋荷叶送到市民手中，每递出一份，便送上一句祝福：“好运莲莲！”。
