　　从1月开始，Sunseap将为苹果提供100%的可再生电力，来自该公司在新加坡超过800栋建筑楼顶的太阳能系统。

　　The deal will make Apple the first company in Singapore to run exclusively on renewable energy and marks a significant step in its bid to power 100 percent of its facilities and operations worldwide with clean fuel.

　　这将让苹果成为新加坡首个完全使用可再生能源的企业，是苹果在其全球设施和运营中100%使用清洁能源努力的重大进步。

　　The Apple partnership² will also give Sunseap financing to complete the solar project, said Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice³ president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.

　　苹果负责环境、政策和社会倡议的副总裁Lisa Jackson表示，合作将让Sunseap获得完成该太阳能项目的融资。

　　Jackson said in an interview with Reuters that the project was a model in "urban greening" and said it would allow Singaporeans "to get access to energy while we meet our own renewable energy goals."

　　Jackson在接受路透采访时称，该项目是“城市绿化”的样板，在我们完成自己的可再生能源目标的同时，新加坡人也能获得能源。
