The United Nations Security Council has voted to send almost 12,000 peacekeepers to the Central African Republic. Eight thousand African Union and French soldiers are currently attempting to restore order in the country amid ongoing violence between Christian and Muslim armed groups. The Central African Republic Foreign Minister Toussaint Kongo Doudou said the UN has laid the foundation for a way out of the crisis.

“Today, the adoption of this resolution authorizing the UN deployment is the start of a decisive phase in the process of restoring peace and security, and hands stability to the Central African Republic.”

“今天，該決議授權(quán)聯(lián)合國派兵是恢復(fù)和平安定、給中非共和國帶來穩(wěn)定過程的決定步驟。”

“Nato's decision to release over 20 satellite images and associated maps of the build-up of Russian forces on Ukraine eastern frontier is a signal of the concern among the Alliance's commanders that a Russian military option against Ukraine is still very much on the table. Theimagery dates from late March and early April. It encompasses six locations in an arc around Ukraine's frontier. It shows sophisticated warplanes, helicopters and airborne early warning aircrafts (similar to the NATO Awacs) and a number of military deployments on the ground.”

“北約決定公 布俄羅斯軍隊(duì)在烏克蘭東部前線集結(jié)兵力的20多張衛(wèi)星圖片和相關(guān)地圖，這意味著北約將領(lǐng)們擔(dān)心俄羅斯可能會(huì)公開采取軍事手段對付烏克蘭。這些圖片是3月底 到4月初的資料，包括烏克蘭邊境周圍的6個(gè)據(jù)點(diǎn)，顯示當(dāng)?shù)赜邢冗M(jìn)的戰(zhàn)機(jī)、直升機(jī)、機(jī)載預(yù)警飛機(jī)和大量軍事部署。”

He is accused of giving the residents of Corbeil, near Paris, money or subsidized homes in return for their votes. He was amayor there from 1995 to 2009. Mr. Dassault has admitted using his personal wealth to help Corbeil citizens, but he denies bribery and he says he will prove his innocence.”

“塞爾日·達(dá)索曾是法國最知名、最富有的人，所以這些指控都登上報(bào)刊頭條，只有他的 報(bào)紙例外。他被控用金錢或資助購買房屋來收買巴黎附近科貝爾居民，讓他們投他的票。他1995年到2009年期間擔(dān)任該市市長。達(dá)索已承認(rèn)使用個(gè)人財(cái)富來 幫助科貝爾的居民，但他否認(rèn)行賄，稱他會(huì)證明自己的無辜。”

“Because of the Civil Rights movement, because of the laws President Johnson signed, new doors of opportunity and education swung open for everybody. Not all at once, but they swung open. Not just blacks and whites, but also women and Latinos, and Asians and Native Americans, and gay Americans and Americans with a disability. They swung open for you, and they swung open for me.”

“多虧了民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)，多虧了約翰遜總統(tǒng)簽署的法律，每個(gè)人都獲得了新的機(jī)遇和教育機(jī)會(huì)，雖然不是一次到位的，但確實(shí)打開了大門。不僅黑人和白人，還有婦女和拉美裔、亞裔和印度安人、同性戀和殘疾人士都有了機(jī)會(huì)。不僅為你，也為我打開了機(jī)會(huì)之門。”

牙買加反興奮劑官員對未能通過藥物測試的阿薩法·鮑威爾實(shí)施18個(gè)月的禁令，鮑威爾曾是世界頂尖短跑隊(duì)員。去年在牙買加全國審判中，鮑威爾對被禁興奮劑奧洛福林的測試呈現(xiàn)陽性。他稱該判決不公平不公正，稱該藥物并不能提高運(yùn)動(dòng)表現(xiàn)。

學(xué)者兼作家、對當(dāng)代生活和媒體的現(xiàn)代理念形成做出重大貢獻(xiàn)的理查德·霍加特教授去世，享年95歲。他具有影響力的著作《識字的用途》曾是暢銷書。Gruneberg報(bào)道。

“Richard Hoggart left the property of his childhood and leads behind him, but waged a lifelong battle against popular consumerism and the notion of material possessions as a recipe for happiness. His book “the Uses of Literacy”, arguing that the working class deserved better in educational and cultural terms, proved enormously influential. And the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies, he founded at the Birmingham University, also sparked academic interest around the world. Despite a long list of distinguished appointments, Richard Hoggart remained an old-fashion socialist.”

“理查德·霍加特將童年留在身后，卻與流行的消費(fèi)主義和將物質(zhì)擁有作為幸福秘方的觀念做了終身斗爭。他的《識字的用 途》一書聲稱工人階級應(yīng)該獲得更好的教育和文化機(jī)會(huì)，這本書一度深入人心。他在伯明翰大學(xué)城里的當(dāng)代文化研究中心也引發(fā)了全世界的學(xué)術(shù)興趣，盡管出任過很 多顯要的職位，理查德·霍加特仍是一位老派社會(huì)主義者。”
