At the cemetery in Soma, the coffins kept coming to an area they call the martyrs’ plot. Relatives consumed by grief. The graves are being filled here one by one. This community is saying goodbye to husbands, fathers and sons. For some, the grief is compounded by anger, by a belief that all of this could have been avoided by better safety standards at the mine.
在索瑪鎮(zhèn)公墓，棺木陸續(xù)到達他們所說的烈士墓穴。親屬們籠罩在悲傷的情緒中。墳墓逐一被填埋。哀悼的人們向丈夫，父親和兒子永別。對一些人來說，悲傷中還夾雜著憤怒的情緒，他們認為如果煤礦能夠?qū)嵤└玫陌踩珮藴剩磺卸际强梢员苊獾摹?/span>
President Obama has described a Memorial Museum dedicated to the September the 11th attacks in 2001 as a sacred place of healing and hope.

Touring its exhibits was a profound moving experience, said President Obama. And he recalled and reaffirmed the spirit of 9?11—love, compassion, sacrifice. As with most things connected with ground zero, the museum has attracted debate and controversy. A video explaining the rise of radical Islam has drawn complaints by some who claimed it demonizes Muslims. An underground facility next to the museum and that has the unidentified remains of missing World Trade Center victims, which has enraged some families.
奧巴馬總統(tǒng)說，參觀該博物館的展覽是令人非常動情的經(jīng)歷。他回憶并重申了9.11的精神——愛，同情和犧牲。其中許多經(jīng)歷與歸零地有關，這座博物館引發(fā)了辯論和爭議。解釋激進伊斯蘭教崛起的一段視頻招致一些人的抱怨，稱這段視頻將穆斯林妖魔化。博物館附近還有一座地下設施，安放著世貿(mào)中心身份不明失蹤遇難者的遺骸，也引發(fā)了一些家屬的憤怒。

President Putin has delivered a new ultimatum on Russian gas supplied to Ukraine. In a letter released by the Kremlin today, Mr. Putin threatens to cut off supplies of natural gas from next month unless, what he says, that Ukraine’s unpaid bill is settled. Theo Leggett has the details.
普京總統(tǒng)發(fā)布了關于供應烏克蘭的俄羅斯天然氣最后通牒。在克里姆林宮今天發(fā)布的信函中，普京威脅從下個月開始切斷向烏克蘭的天然氣供應，除非烏克蘭支付了拖欠的賬單。Theo Leggett報道詳細內(nèi)容。
President Putin claims that Ukraine’s bill for unpaid gas has risen from $2.4 billion to $3.5 billion. He says that no payments have been made since early April, despite the fact that Ukraine recently received a $3.2 billion loan payment from the International Monetary Fund. Ukraine has reportedly offered to clear the unpaid bill, but only if it can continue to buy gas at a discounted price. Russia scribed discounts for Ukraine in April effectively increasing the price it charges its neighbor by 80 percent.
普京總統(tǒng)宣稱，烏克蘭未支付的天然氣賬單已經(jīng)從24億美元上漲至35億美元。他表示自4月份以來，烏克蘭未支付任何賬款，盡管烏克蘭最近從國際貨幣基金組織獲得了高達32億美元的貸款。據(jù)報道，烏克蘭曾經(jīng)提出結(jié)清未支付賬單，但是只有在能夠以折扣價格繼續(xù)購買天然氣的情況下。俄羅斯4月份停止了對烏克蘭的折扣，導致這個鄰國必須支付的費用增加了80%。
