第八次中歐領導人峰會今日在人民大會堂召開。歐盟輪值主席國主席、英國首相布萊爾，歐盟委員會主席巴羅佐等人將與中國國家主席胡錦濤、國務院總理溫家寶等領導人共同出席此次峰會。請看報道：

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has arrived in Beijing for the annual EU-China summitovershadowedby a trade dispute over textile quotas.

Blair will attend the summit Monday as part of Britain's turn at the rotating presidency of the 25-nation European Union before holding talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.

文中overshadow 意思是to cast a shadow over; darken or obscure，即"投上陰影；奪去光彩"，如：The news that his father had been hurt in an accident overshadowed his first day in his new job.（他父親在車禍中受傷的消息給他參加新工作的第一天蒙上了陰影。）
