It has been said that "environmental problems are global and respect no nation's boundaries." Unfortunately, pollution and its consequences still fall to large measure on those least likely to do anything about it: poor countries willing to sacrifice anything in order to sit at the table with the world's wealthy.
能不能帮我重点解释一下,respect no nation's boundaries中respect是什么意思?
还有这句话,我也不是很能理解:fall to large measure on those least likely to do anything about it
