Jordanian State television has confirmed that the country's air force pilot who was captured by Islamic State militants has been killed. The group released a video that purported to show Moaz al-Kasasbeh being held in a metal cage surrounded by oil then the fuel is lit and the pilot is pictured burned alive. He was captured after he crashed near IS strong-hold while taking part in US-led operations over northern Syria. King Abdullah of Jordan called the pilot a hero who died defending his country.
約旦國家電視臺已經(jīng)確實(shí)被伊斯蘭國武裝份子抓獲的空軍飛行員已經(jīng)被殺害。該組織稍前的時(shí)候在網(wǎng)上播放了一段視頻，畫面顯示阿茲·卡薩斯貝（Moaz al-Kasasbeh）被關(guān)在一個(gè)鐵籠子里，周圍灑滿了石油，然后石油被點(diǎn)燃卡薩斯貝被活活燒死。他是在執(zhí)行美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的在敘利亞北部的任務(wù)時(shí)因墜落在IS組織掌控地區(qū)而被捕的。約旦國王阿卜杜拉阿布杜拉[Abdullah]已經(jīng)追授了這名飛行員“英雄”的稱號，因?yàn)樗麨楹葱l(wèi)自己的國家而犧牲。
Brilliant pilot Moaz died defending his beliefs, homeland and nation. He joins all the martyrs who made ultimate sacrifice before him, for dear Jordan. Today, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the family of the martyr hero Moaz, with our people and our armed forces in this tragedy.
這名出色的飛行員因捍衛(wèi)自己的信仰，家鄉(xiāng)和國家而犧牲。他加入了那些為了親愛的祖國約旦而獻(xiàn)身的烈士的行列。今天在悲劇發(fā)生的時(shí)候，我們與烈士卡薩斯貝的家人以及我們的人民，我們的軍隊(duì)并肩度過困境。
Speaking in Washington, President Obama said a different video of the murder was authentic and was a further indication of barbarity of IS. He added that the killing would re-double the determination of the US-led coalition to defeat the militants.
奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在華盛頓表示，這一異常殘忍的謀殺視頻是真實(shí)的，并且進(jìn)一步證明了IS組織的殘暴野蠻性。他還表示這一殘殺惡性將更加堅(jiān)定美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的打擊伊斯蘭國武裝份子的行動的決心。
Members of Parliament in Britain have voted overwhelmingly in favor of controversial scientific technique that would allow the creation of babies using DNA from three people. If the measures were approved by the House of Lords, Britain would become the first country to legalize the procedure. Scientists say it could prevent children inheriting certain life threatening diseases. Here's our health correspondent James Gallagher explains:
英國議會以壓倒性優(yōu)勢投票通過了一項(xiàng)受爭議的科學(xué)技術(shù)，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)將使得一個(gè)嬰兒的DNA來自三個(gè)人。如果這一舉措通過上議院的認(rèn)可，英國將會成為第一個(gè)是這一行為合法化的國家。科學(xué)家表示這項(xiàng)技術(shù)將避免孩子遺傳一些特定的威脅生命的遺傳病。接下來是我們的健康通訊員James Gallagher的解釋：
Doctors want to create babies from two women and one man in order to prevent deadly genetic diseases. The aim is to correct defects in a tiny shortage in the body that convert food to usable energy. These mitochondria are passed only from mother to child. The scientist's solution is to combine the parents' DNA with a healthy mitochondria from a donor woman. Evidence suggests the technique would be safe but nobody can be certain. It also raises ethical questions.
醫(yī)生們的方案是用兩個(gè)女人以及一個(gè)男人的DNA來避免孩子遺傳致命的遺傳病。這種技術(shù)是為了彌補(bǔ)母體不能將食物轉(zhuǎn)化成能量的這種缺陷的。這種線粒體只能通過母嬰傳遞。科學(xué)家的解決方法是將一對父母的DNA與一名女性捐贈者的的健康的線粒體合成。有證據(jù)表明，這一技術(shù)將很安全但還沒有人可以確定。這一舉措也引起了倫理問題。
The Ratings agency Standrad & Poor's has to paid nearly 1.4 billion dollars to the US authorities to settle a legal claim that it knowingly inflated its ratings of mortgage investments. The ratings were issued over several years on the Subprime mortgage bonds that triggered the financial crisis of 2008. The US attorney general Eric Holder said the agency's actions have been a factor in the crisis.
評級機(jī)構(gòu)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾已經(jīng)向美國當(dāng)局繳納了14億美元的罰款用以解決對他故意夸大自己的抵押投資的等級的控訴。該機(jī)構(gòu)發(fā)行了多年的債權(quán)，并因此觸發(fā)了2008年的經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)。美國司法部長Eric Holder表示，該機(jī)構(gòu)的行為確實(shí)是危機(jī)的一個(gè)原因。
“On more than one occasion, the company's leadership ignored senior analysts who warned that the company had given top ratings to financial products that were failing to perform as advertised. As S&P admits under this settlement, company executives complained that the company declined to downgrade underperforming assets, because it was worried that doing so would hurt the company's business. This strategy did major harm, major harm to the larger economy, contributing to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. US attorney general Eric Holder.
“該公司的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層曾不只一次地忽視來自上層分析人士的警告，認(rèn)為該公司不恰當(dāng)?shù)亟o與了一些金融產(chǎn)品最高等級，而這些產(chǎn)品并沒有像其宣傳的那樣好。對于這一指責(zé)，公司的管理層抱怨道之所以給表現(xiàn)不佳的資產(chǎn)降級是因?yàn)楹ε逻@一行為會影響到公司的生意。這種行為主要會對大公司造成傷害，者將會引導(dǎo)美國走向自大蕭條之后的最嚴(yán)重的經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)。”美國司法部長Eric Holder表示。

The new work Go Set a Watchman was completed in the 1950th, before To kill a Mockingbird and also features Scout the main character in her best selling book. Bill Silito has more:
經(jīng)久不衰的暢銷書《殺死一只知更鳥》的作者，繼上部杰作之后將時(shí)隔半個(gè)世紀(jì)出版第二部小說。新的小說叫做《設(shè)立守望者》，完成于20世紀(jì)50年代，此書稿實(shí)際完成于《殺死一只知更鳥》之前，同樣也是一斯格特這一角色為主的。Bill Silito表示：
To Kill a Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Price, sold more than 40 million copies and was turned into an Oscar winning movie. But its author Harper Lee never published another novel. However, a novel has been re-discovered. Go Set a Watchman features Scout as an adult. He was thought a pretty good effort at the time by her and it was this that led her editor to encourage her to go on to explore Scout's childhood and what will become her masterpiece. Harper Lee issued a statement saying the book had been rediscovered by one of her friends.She thought it had been lost forever.
《殺死一只知更鳥》贏得了普利策獎，其銷量也達(dá)到4000萬冊之多，據(jù)此改編的電影也成為了奧斯卡獲獎電影。但是他的作者Harper Lee自此再沒有出版過別的小說。然而，最近一部新的小說已經(jīng)被“再次發(fā)現(xiàn)”。《設(shè)立守望者》以將“斯格特”（Scout）設(shè)定為一個(gè)成年人而為特點(diǎn)。他認(rèn)為這個(gè)努力方向很好也正是這一點(diǎn)使得他的編輯激勵她繼續(xù)探索斯格特的童年，并且這絕對將成為她的又一大作。Harper Lee發(fā)表聲明表示，這本書是被他的一個(gè)朋友“再發(fā)現(xiàn)”的。她認(rèn)為這一本書一直沒有被發(fā)現(xiàn)。
