An American major general has been killed in an attack by an Afghan soldier at a military training school near the capital Kabul. The general, who hasn't been named, is the most senior foreign officer to be killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion in 2001. More than a dozen others were wounded in the incident. An Afghan soldier who was nearby described the scene.
一名美國(guó)將軍在阿富汗首都喀布爾附近的一所軍事培訓(xùn)學(xué)校，在一場(chǎng)襲擊中被一名阿富汗士兵開槍打死。這名不知名的將軍是自2001年美國(guó)率領(lǐng)入侵阿富汗以來(lái)被殺的最高級(jí)外國(guó)官員。還有另外十幾人在襲擊中受傷了，在案發(fā)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)附近的一名阿富汗士兵描述了當(dāng)時(shí)的情景。
We were standing in the desert, three shots were fired, down there in the university, a shot was fired, helicopters came and landed, taking the wounded people.
我們當(dāng)時(shí)正站在荒地中，然后學(xué)校那邊響起了三次槍聲，然后又響了一槍，直升機(jī)降落下來(lái)，將傷者帶走。
The soldier who opened fire has himself been shot dead. A Pentagon spokesman said the shooting was a terrible tragedy but it was impossible to eliminate the threat of such insider attacks completely.
開槍的士兵已經(jīng)飲彈自殺了，五角大樓的發(fā)言人稱這次槍擊案是一場(chǎng)可怕的慘劇，但是不可能徹底消除這種局內(nèi)人襲擊的威脅。
Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza have begun returning home from UN shelters on the first day of a 72-hour ceasefire agreed by Israeli and Palestinian militant groups. The Israeli army says all its forces have been withdrawn. The BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus says its part of a step-by-step process.
以色列和巴勒斯坦武裝組織協(xié)商的72小時(shí)停火協(xié)議剛開始實(shí)施，就有數(shù)千名巴勒斯坦人從加沙聯(lián)合國(guó)的難民營(yíng)往家里趕。以色列軍方稱已經(jīng)撤出全部的部隊(duì)，BBC外交記者馬庫(kù)斯·喬納森[Jonathan Marcus]稱這是步步為營(yíng)的一部分。
The first thing is whether this 72-hour truce actually survives, then whether the negotiations that are underway through Egyptian mediation are actually able to bring about something that resembles a lasting ceasefire, then of course can something be done to mean, to make sure that this is the last episode of this kind or are Israel and the Palestinians of Gaza Strip fated to repeat this experience every two or three years.
第一件事是72小時(shí)的休戰(zhàn)是否能堅(jiān)持到底，隨后是埃及調(diào)停下的協(xié)商是否真的能促成類似于持久停戰(zhàn)的協(xié)議，最后就是能否讓這些人確保目前的戰(zhàn)斗能徹底結(jié)束以色列和加沙的巴勒斯坦人之間每?jī)扇昃鸵?jīng)歷的這種狀態(tài)。
Six weeks ahead of a referendum on independence from the United Kingdom, a live TV debate between Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling for the No campaign has just ended. With the Independence campaign trailing in the polls, correspondence say Mr. Salmond has the most work to do to persuade undecided voters. Rob Broomby reports.
六周后蘇格蘭即將迎來(lái)為英聯(lián)邦獨(dú)立而舉行的公投，目前蘇格蘭的首席部長(zhǎng)亞歷克斯·薩爾蒙德[Alex Salmond]和反對(duì)陣營(yíng)的阿利斯泰爾·達(dá)林[Alistair Darling]之間的電視辯論直播已經(jīng)結(jié)束了。目前要求獨(dú)立的一方在投票中落后對(duì)方，有關(guān)報(bào)道稱薩爾蒙德[Salmond]必須努力勸說(shuō)未下決定的選民。羅布[Rob Broomby]報(bào)道。
The TV debate exceeded expectation; it was high-octane stuff and at times fierce. Alex Salmond, leader of the Yes campaigns told Scottish voters to seize the opportunity of a lifetime with both hands. Alistair Darling, head of UK Better Together said there would be no going back, no second chances, and voters should say "No, thanks" to the risks of independence. Voters had called for detailed answers. They weren't forthcoming, but their sparks are plenty.
這次電視辯論超出了想象，爭(zhēng)論非常激烈。亞歷克斯·薩爾蒙德[Alex Salmond]，是贊成獨(dú)立一方的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，贊成方告訴選民要用雙手抓住難得的好機(jī)遇。阿利斯泰爾·達(dá)林[Alistair Darling]，是英國(guó)“在一起更好”團(tuán)體的主席，他說(shuō)沒(méi)有回頭路，沒(méi)有第二次機(jī)會(huì)，選民們應(yīng)該向想冒險(xiǎn)獨(dú)立的人說(shuō)“不，謝謝！”選民們要求得到具體回答，不會(huì)有細(xì)節(jié)透露的，但是會(huì)激發(fā)更多細(xì)節(jié)出現(xiàn)。
