Police in Australia say two hostages and a gunman were killed when armed security forces stormed a cafe in the heart of Sydney to end a sixteen-hour siege. The known gunman, a fifty-year-old Iranian-born refugee Man Haron Monis, held a number of hostages at the cafe throughout Monday. The New South Wales police commissioner Andrew Scipione told journalists why he believed the security forces decided to storm the cafe.
澳大利亞警方表示在經(jīng)過16小時對峙，警方對悉尼市中心一家咖啡館劫持事件采取突擊行動，造成兩名人質(zhì)和一名持槍犯罪嫌疑人死亡。劫持者是一名50歲伊朗籍難民，周一時候劫持一家咖啡店數(shù)名人質(zhì)。新南威爾士州警察局局長Andrew Scipione向記者解釋了其認為警方采取突擊行動的原因。
I think that the events were unfolding inside the premises led them to the belief that now was the time to actually deploy and they did. I understand that there was a number of gunshots that were heard, which caused officers to move straight to what we call an MPI, an emergency action plan, that caused them to enter.
我認為應(yīng)該是屋內(nèi)情形讓警方感覺到突擊的時候到了，然后就沖入了咖啡店。我知道有人聽到了數(shù)聲槍響，這也是警員直接采取稱為MPI緊急行動計劃沖入咖啡店的原因。
The gunman was shot dead and two hostages were also killed, a 34-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman. More from XX in Sydney.
劫持者被擊斃的同時還有兩名人質(zhì)也不幸遇難，分別是一名34歲的男子和一名38歲的女性。下面是本臺記者從悉尼發(fā)回的詳細報道。
When the end of this sixteen-hour siege came, it was swift and decisive and unfortunately tragic too. Andrew Scipione was saying earlier that had police not acted when they did, and in the fashion that they did, more lives may have been lost or more lives may have been put in jeopardy. So when it happens, there was a flurry of explosions and gunfire could be heard through the air too, but that flurry of activity lasted for about 15 to 20 seconds and then there was all over.
當歷時16小時的對峙結(jié)束的時候，也發(fā)生了令大家措手不及的悲劇。就像Andrew Scipione早些時候說的，如果當時警方?jīng)]有采取突擊行動的話就會有更多人喪生，也會有更多人的生命受到威脅。所以當警方采取突擊行動的時候我們可以聽到一連串的槍聲和爆炸聲，但是沖突僅持續(xù)了15到20秒時間就結(jié)束了，這起人質(zhì)劫持事件也就這樣結(jié)束了。
Commissioner Scipione also said the cafe siege had been an isolated incident that shouldn’t change of the lives of people in Sydney.
Scipione局長還表示此次發(fā)生在咖啡館的劫持事件僅僅是個個例，應(yīng)該不會影響到悉尼群眾的生活。
A United Nations report has asked international creditors to cancel the debts of the three countries worst affected by Ebola. The report, by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, said canceling the combined debts of about 2.6 billion dollars would allow Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea to start afresh once the outbreak was under control. It said the outbreak had a significant impact on their economies, hitting tourism, investment, public spending and labor supply. The World Health Organization says more than 6,800 people have died in this outbreak of Ebola.
一份來自聯(lián)合國報告已經(jīng)要求國際債權(quán)人取消受埃博拉影響最嚴重的三個國家債務(wù)關(guān)系。來自聯(lián)合國非洲經(jīng)濟委員會報告指出取消大約26億美元的債務(wù)將使塞拉利昂，利比亞和幾內(nèi)亞控制埃博拉疫情之后重新開始恢復(fù)生機。其指出此次疫情爆發(fā)對該國經(jīng)濟，旅游，投資，公共支出和勞動供給都產(chǎn)生重大影響。世衛(wèi)組織表示有6800多人在此次埃博拉疫情爆發(fā)中死亡。

西班牙反腐敗檢察官要求法院對皇家薩拉戈薩足球俱樂部其前經(jīng)理和涉嫌操縱比賽的數(shù)名玩家進行調(diào)查。起訴方稱俱樂都對萊萬特俱樂部球員賄賂120萬美元投擲游戲。下面是本臺記者發(fā)回的報道。
These inquiries could have wide-ranging significance for the game of football in European. The match in question took place on the final day of the 2010-11 season. Real Saragossa’s 2-1 winning Levante meant they avoided relegation to Spain’s second tier. The Manchester United mid-field Ander Herrera was playing for the club that time and has been named in this case as has coach Javier Aguirre. The Spanish club has(have) refused to comment.
這些調(diào)查將會對歐洲足球比賽產(chǎn)生廣泛意義。發(fā)生在2010年11月季賽最后一天的比賽令大家產(chǎn)生了疑惑?；始胰袼_俱樂部以2比1成績戰(zhàn)勝萊萬特俱樂部這一成績意味著其避免了降級為西班牙足球二級等級。曼徹斯特隊中場隊員Ander Herrera當時為該俱樂部效力，和已經(jīng)被命名為教練的Javier Aguirre。西班牙俱樂部拒絕對此事發(fā)表評論。

The families of nine people killed in an attack on the Sandy Hook primary school in the United States have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company that manufactured the gun used in the attack, the distributor and a local retailer. 20 children and 6 staff of the school in Newtown, Connecticut were killed when a former pupil, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, ran a mark. The families said the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle was designed to be a military weapon and shouldn’t be made available to Lanza.
桑迪胡克小學9名受害者家屬將兇手大屠殺中使用的來福槍的制造商、分銷商和賣方告上法庭。當康涅狄格州新城一所學校之前一位20歲學生Adam Lanza手持手槍闖入學校時造成了20名兒童和6名學校員工死亡。受害者家屬稱來福AR-15手槍被設(shè)計為軍事武器，Adam Lanza手中不應(yīng)該有這種武器。
Russia’s Central Bank has warned the country’s economy could contract by as much as 4.8 percent next year if oil prices remain at current levels. The prediction comes as the Ruble hit a new level on Monday, trading at more than 60 to the US dollar. Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.
俄羅斯中央銀行警告稱，如果石油價格繼續(xù)保持當前價格的話該國明年經(jīng)濟將會收縮4.8%。在周一時候，盧布更是出現(xiàn)了有史以來最低點，一美元可以兌換60多盧布。下面是本臺記者從莫斯科發(fā)回的報道。
The Ruble is down 49 percent against the dollar this year. There were two main problems putting pressure on the currency and the economy. The first is low oil prices. The second, western sanctions, because they make it much harder for big Russian companies and banks to raise capital on international money markets and service their debts. And while the Ruble tumbles, prices continue to rise. Inflation here is expected to end the year at 10 percent.
今年盧布兌美元比例下降了49%。目前有兩個主要問題對貨幣和經(jīng)濟造成影響，首先就是過低的油價，其次是來自西方國家的制裁。因為制裁大大增加了俄羅斯大公司和銀行在國際貨幣市場和服務(wù)籌集資金的困難。同時盧布繼續(xù)貶值，物價繼續(xù)上漲，俄羅斯通貨膨脹預(yù)計今年年底將達到10%。
Denmark is submitting a claim to territory a rather North Pole to a United Nations panel which is gathering evidence to determine control of the region.
