The long-serving president of the governing body of world football Depp Blatter has recognized the corruption scandal engulfing the organization has brought shame and humiliation to football. But addressing the opening of FIFA's annual congress in Zurich, Mr. Blatter distanced himself from the senior officials against whom charges have been filed. He said he couldn't keep an eye on everyone.
世界足球領頭團體常任總統(tǒng)賽普·布拉特承認本組織貪污受賄謠言,并表示這是足球的羞辱。但在蘇黎世年度會議開幕式中的演講中,賽普把他自己和犯罪在案的高層官員分的一清二楚。他說,他并不能監(jiān)視到每一個人。
I know many people hold me ultimately responsible for the actions and reputation of the global football community, whether it's a destination for the hosting of a world cup or a corruption scandal. We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time. If people want to do wrong, there will be a lot of try to hide it.
我清楚許多人使我最終為這一行為和全球足球協(xié)會的名譽負責,無論是舉行世界杯還是貪污謠言。我個人及整個足球團體不可能一直監(jiān)視著每一個人。如果有人想做壞事,他們也會試圖掩蓋他們的過錯。
Our sports news correspondent Alex Capstick has this assessment of the day's event.
本臺體育記者亞歷克斯·凱普斯科為您帶來詳細評論:
This was vintage Depp Blatter, blaming others for the wreckage then make a pledge to fix it. Not for the first time he's tried to distance himself from a scandal. He did say the next few months will be difficult and to expect more bad news. But he seemed determined to fight on. His speech at the opening of FIFA congress followed a grueling day. The head of UEFA, Michel Platini, asked him to step down, an offer he rejected. One of the main sponsors, VISA, threatened to review its relationship with the organization.
老布拉特批評他人過錯接著又做出宣誓來彌補過錯。這并不是他第一次試圖把他自己和謠言撇清關系。他確實說過接下來的幾個月會很困難,并會有更多負面新聞。但他似乎下定決心要繼續(xù)奮斗下去。疲勞了一天后,他在國際足聯(lián)開幕式上做了演講。歐洲足聯(lián)米歇爾·普拉蒂尼要求他引咎辭職,但他拒絕了此次要求。其中一位主投資方VISA威脅說將會重新審視他和足聯(lián)的關系。

In a whirlwind tour of European capitals aimed at securing support for his proposed reforms, the British prime minister David Cameron has met President Francois Hollande in Paris.

英國首相卡梅倫在為他提出的改革方案尋求支持的旋風般的歐元訪問中在巴黎會見了法國總統(tǒng)奧朗德。奧朗德在聯(lián)合新聞發(fā)布會上表示,他們將會討論卡梅倫首相的提議??穫愓f現狀不容樂觀。
I believe there changes we can make that will not just benefit Britain but the rest of the Europe too. Of course, the priority for Francois is to strengthen the euro zone to ensure successful single currency, and Britain supports that. We want to help the euro zone work better, and we don't stand in the way of closer integration. So we have different priorities but we share a common objective, which is to find solutions to these problems.
我相信我們將會做出改變,但這些改變不僅對英國有益對歐洲其他國家也有好處。當然,奧朗德最先考慮的是加強歐元區(qū)保證單一貨幣的成功流通,英國贊同這一觀點。我們希望幫助歐元區(qū)使其變得更好,我們并不會阻止歐元區(qū)的緊密聯(lián)合。因此,雖然我們持有不同觀點,但共同目標相同,那就是找到這些問題的解決辦法。
