3、復(fù)述新聞。
China's new Premier Li Keqiang named air pollution and corruption as the top priorities for the communist party's new leadership to tackle. NPR's Frank Langfitt has more.
中國(guó)新任總理李克強(qiáng)表示，空氣污染和腐敗是中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨新一屆領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人要解決的首要問(wèn)題。NPR新聞的弗蘭克·蘭菲特將帶來(lái)詳細(xì)報(bào)道。
In focusing on _1_ and pollution, Li chose two problems that are most obvious and frustrating for ordinary Chinese. In January, smog blanketed much of eastern China and at times made Beijing practically uninhabitable. Pollution experts say the technology exists to reduce air pollution, but it will mean _2_ powerful interests _3_ rich state oil companies that distribute high sulphur heavy polluting gas. Tackling corruption won't be easier either. For years, many people have pursued government jobs here to take advantage of China's boom and line their pockets, not serve the country. On foreign policy, Li said China is committed to strong relations with the United States and _4_ to deny that Beijing is behind cyber espionage, targeting American firms.

關(guān)注腐敗和污染問(wèn)題，李克強(qiáng)選擇了這兩個(gè)最明顯、最困擾中國(guó)普通民眾的問(wèn)題。1月，濃霧席卷了中國(guó)東部大部分地區(qū)，有時(shí)令北京幾乎無(wú)法居住。污染專(zhuān)家表示，有技術(shù)措施可以減少空氣污染，但是那將遭遇強(qiáng)大利益的阻撓，其中包括提供高硫重污染氣體的國(guó)家石油公司。處理腐敗問(wèn)題也不容易。多年來(lái)，許多人在政府中謀求職位，以利用中國(guó)的繁榮謀取私利，而不是為國(guó)家服務(wù)。在外交政策上，李克強(qiáng)表示，中國(guó)愿與美國(guó)建立大國(guó)關(guān)系，并再次否認(rèn)了北京與攻擊美國(guó)公司的網(wǎng)絡(luò)間諜活動(dòng)有關(guān)。NPR新聞，弗蘭克·蘭菲特上海報(bào)道。
More than 150,000 people crowded into St. Peter's Square today to hear the first blessing from Pope Francis. Speaking in Italian, he urged them to be more _5_ and not so quick to condemn other people's failures. He said a little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
今天，15萬(wàn)余人聚集在圣彼得廣場(chǎng)，聆聽(tīng)教皇弗朗西斯的首次祈禱。教皇用意大利語(yǔ)主持祈禱，呼吁民眾要更寬容，不要輕易譴責(zé)他人的失敗。他表示，一點(diǎn)仁慈會(huì)使世界少一點(diǎn)冷漠，多一點(diǎn)公平。
The president of Cyprus went on television today to explain the terms of an international bailout. Lenders will provide the euro equivalent of $13 billion but only if there is a one-time tax on bank accounts. The Cyprian president said he had to accept the requirement or the island would face bankruptcy. The parliament is to vote on the deal tomorrow.
今天，塞浦路斯總統(tǒng)在電視上解釋了國(guó)際救助的條件。貸款人將提供相當(dāng)于130億美元的歐元救助，但是塞浦路斯需要對(duì)該國(guó)的銀行儲(chǔ)戶(hù)征收一次性存款稅。塞浦路斯總統(tǒng)表示，他不得不接受這個(gè)要求，否則這個(gè)島國(guó)將面臨破產(chǎn)。明天議會(huì)將對(duì)這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃進(jìn)行投票表決。
