President Obama has issued a fresh appeal for calm in Ferguson after more than a week of unrest sparked by the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager. Mr. Obama was speaking at a White House news conference.
奧巴馬總統(tǒng)對弗格森對警察射殺手無寸鐵黑人少年引發(fā)持續(xù)一周多的暴亂做出新的呼吁。下面是奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在白宮新聞發(fā)布會上的講話。
While I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns and even attacking the police only to serve to raise tensions and steer chaos. Let me also be clear that our constitutional rights to speak freely, to assemble and to report in the press must be vigilantly safe guarded. There is no excuse for excessive use of force by police or the action denies people’s right to protest peacefully.
我理解邁克爾布朗死亡帶給我們的憤怒和沖動,但是把憤怒演變成搶劫,攜帶槍支,甚至襲警行為只會加劇緊張局勢,引發(fā)混亂。說的更清楚一點,就是我們有言論自由的法律權(quán)利保障,組織和媒體報道必須有安全保障。沒有理由被警察使用武力或者行動來組織人民和平抗議的權(quán)利。
Mr. Obama announced that the Attorney General Eric Holder will visit Ferguson on Wednesday. Troops of US National Guard had been deployed in the suburb of St. Louis to help restore order. The state governor has lifted an overnight curfew.

A 24-hour extension to current truce in Gaza has been agreed between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group which governs the territory.

新一輪24小時加沙停火協(xié)議已經(jīng)在以色列和哈馬斯之間達成。加沙地區(qū)被巴勒斯坦軍隊控制。聲明發(fā)出前一個小時,為期五天的?;饏f(xié)議即將到期。埃及調(diào)停者在開羅表示談判過程是一個長期任務(wù),仍在繼續(xù)當中。
The World Health Organization has urged countries affected by the Ebola outbreak to screen all departing travelers for signs of the disease. It says anyone showing signs of the illness at international airports, seaports and major land crossings must be stopped from travelling. The International Air Transport Association's vice president for Africa Raphael Kuuchi said some airlines had halted operations to affected countries.
世界衛(wèi)生組織督促受埃博拉疫情影響國家監(jiān)察所有即將離開游客身體情況。世界衛(wèi)生組織表示任何在機場,海港,和主要陸地過境點出現(xiàn)疑似癥狀必須停止出行。非洲國際航空運輸協(xié)會副總裁Raphaeal Kuuchi表示受疫情影響,一些飛往疫情國家航班已經(jīng)取消。
Most passengers would not want to travel to infected countries and therefore traffic volumes would be low. Some of the airlines that have stopped operations are for commercial reasons but there are also others who are actually just taking caution, probably advised by their own ministries of health.
大多數(shù)乘客都不想去受疫情影響國家出行,所以航班數(shù)量也在減少。一些航線因商業(yè)原因已經(jīng)停止,但是還有一些航線也在采取謹慎措施,可能是受當?shù)匦l(wèi)生組織的建議。

教皇弗朗西斯曾表示國際社會將對反對伊拉克伊斯蘭激進分子采取合理行動。這一講話發(fā)表在海外旅行回來的航班上。Alan Johnston在羅馬報道。
In recent weeks the Pope has expressed his anguish at the plights of Christians and other religious groups in Iraq who have been persecuted by the Islamic State fighters. And at this in-flight press conference, he was asked what he thought of the American military action against the militants. He replied that it is legitimate to stop an unjustified aggressor but he added that he was stressing the verb 'to stop' and that he wasn't saying bomb or make war. He said that the way to hold the aggression must be evaluated.
最近幾周,教皇已經(jīng)表達了他對被伊斯蘭武裝分子困在山區(qū)的基督徒和其他宗教團體成員的關(guān)心和痛苦。在這份發(fā)表在航班上的講話中,他被問到怎樣看待美國軍隊對待伊斯蘭武裝分子的行為。他回答說這是一種合法手段來停止侵略發(fā)生,但是,他還說,他強調(diào)停止這個詞,并不是指爆炸或者戰(zhàn)爭,他是說必須對停止侵略的方式進行評估。

A study suggests that Africa's elephants have declined to a critical point where more are being killed each year than have been born. An international team of researchers from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Animals or CITES says nearly 35,000 elephants have been killed for their ivory each year. And that if the rate of poaching doesn't slow down, the species could be wiped out in the foreseeable future. John Scanlon is the Secretary General of CITES.
一項研究表明非洲象已經(jīng)被宣布到了一個臨界點,每年遭捕殺數(shù)量遠遠超過出生數(shù)量。國際瀕危動物貿(mào)易公約國際小組表示,每年有35000頭大象因象牙交易被殺。如果數(shù)量持續(xù)上升的話,非洲象可能會在不久的將來滅絕。John Scanlon是國際瀕危動物毛細員工約協(xié)會秘書長。
The primary risk really is in the central African states. They have seen a significant decline over the past ten years, extremely high levels of poaching for the illegal ivory trade and this is a region that is under severe threat and we could see extinctions there within the matter of decades.
