英语文摘：Quotable quotes at Davos forum

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- World elites entered their third-day discussion in the Swiss ski resort of Davos on Friday, turning to a variety of issues, including economic situation and the Doha round of global trade talks.

The following are noticeable quotes from the whole day:

"Our first priority is to kill off the specter of massive sovereign debt. In many ways, we in Europe have been our own worst enemy." -- British Prime Minister David Cameron

"So I want to be the first leader to support your call for urgent action now to agree the key elements of the Doha deal this year. And I call on every world leader to join me. We've got one last chance to get this right. 2011 is the make or break year." -- Cameron

"We need a revolution. Climate change is also showing us that the old model is more than obsolete." -- UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

"Let me say this very clearly again. The euro is our currency. And it is much more than just a currency. It is the embodiment of Europe today. Should the euro fail, Europe will fail. We are going to defend the euro." -- Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel

"The conclusion of the Doha Round is of utmost importance. We are literally meters away from the finishing line. But if we do not reach it, then decades will go by without this opportunity offering itself again." -- Merkel

"There's more confidence now that the most acute part of the crisis is over, absolutely in the U.S. but that is even true globally." -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner

"Do I think America is in decline? I do not, but its relative position is changing." -- former U.S. President and UN Special Envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton.
