美國波士頓檢察官起訴并拘留三名19歲男子，據(jù)悉他們掩蓋波士頓馬拉松爆炸案一名嫌犯的行蹤。上月的爆炸案導(dǎo)致三人喪生，保羅·亞當(dāng)斯報(bào)道。
According to a justice department statement, two of the three students, Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both 19-year-olds of Kazak origin, have been charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. They are accused of disposing of a laptop computer and a backpack of fireworks, both of which belong to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger of the two Boston bombing suspects. The third man, identified as Robel Phillipos and thought to be a US citizen, has been charged with making false statements to investigators.
據(jù)司法部的聲明稱，這三名學(xué)生中的兩個人，Dias Kadyrbayev和Azamat Tazhayakov今年都是19歲，都是哈薩克族人，他們被控陰謀妨礙司法。他們被控處理了一臺筆記本電腦和裝爆竹的背包，這些物品都是Dzhokhar Tsarnaev的，也就是波士頓兩起爆炸案嫌犯中的弟弟。第三個人名叫Robel Phillipos，據(jù)悉他是美國公民，被控向調(diào)查者提供虛假信息。
The Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick said the arrests didn’t mean that further attacks were expected.
"This should not raise any concerns in anyone’s mind about a continuing threat to the public. This is about getting all the way to the bottom of the story of what happened at the marathon.”
"Is it your understanding that they did or did not have a role in the bombing incident?”
"It’s my understanding that they did not, but as I said at the beginning, the investigation continues and there are lots and lots of questions that you and I and everybody else has and the FBI is going to run every one of those to ground.”
麻省州長德瓦爾·帕特里克說，逮捕事件并不意味著將發(fā)生更多襲擊案。
“大家不用擔(dān)心，公眾不會受到更多威脅。我們所做的是將馬拉松爆炸案的始末查個水落石出。”
“您認(rèn)為這三人有沒有參與爆炸案?”
“我認(rèn)為他們沒有，但正如我開始所說，調(diào)查仍在繼續(xù)，你我、大家每個人都有很多問題要弄清楚，F(xiàn)BI力爭將每個嫌犯捉拿歸案。”
The United States has rejected allegations that it was meddling in domestic Bolivian affairs and trying to undermine the left-wing government of President Evo Morales. Mr Morales had earlier said he was expelling the US government development agency USAID from the country. From Washington, Kim Ghattas.
有說法稱美國干預(yù)玻利維亞國內(nèi)事務(wù)，并試圖削弱總統(tǒng)埃沃·莫拉萊斯的左翼政府，美國否認(rèn)該指控。莫拉萊斯早些時候說，他正在將美國政府機(jī)構(gòu)美國國際開發(fā)署從本國趕走。吉姆·加塔斯在華盛頓報(bào)道。
President Evo Morales made the announcement during a fiery speech to workers on May Day. Mr Morales, a leftist who has repeatedly accused the US of trying to undermine his government, said the US aid agency was there for political not social reasons. The state department has denied the allegations. Approximately 30 people work for USAID in Bolivia, South America’s poorest country. It’s still unclear if all or only some are being kicked out. The formal diplomatic notification of their expulsion will arrive at the state department on Thursday.
總統(tǒng)埃沃·莫拉萊斯五月一日向工人發(fā)表激烈演講，其中他還發(fā)表了聲明。左翼派莫拉萊斯多次指控美國試圖危害其政府，他說美國援助機(jī)構(gòu)來本國是為政治原因，并非社會原因。美國國務(wù)院否認(rèn)該指控，玻利維亞是南美洲最貧困國家，約有30人就職于美國國際開發(fā)署駐玻利維亞機(jī)構(gòu)。尚不清楚全部人員還是部分人員將被趕走，驅(qū)逐他們的正式外交通知將于周四到達(dá)國務(wù)院。
Pope Francis has condemned as “slave labour” the working conditions of hundreds of Bangladeshis who were killed when their factory building collapsed in the capital Dhaka last week. He said it went against God to concentrate on balance sheets and profits rather than paying a fair wage.

上周孟加拉國首都達(dá)卡工廠大樓倒塌，導(dǎo)致數(shù)百人喪生，弗朗西斯教皇批評該國的工作條件為“奴隸勞役”。他說工廠只關(guān)注收支和利潤，不給工人支付合理的薪水，這違反了上帝的意志。
孟加拉國當(dāng)局開始掩埋大樓倒塌中身份未明的遇難者，據(jù)悉大樓倒塌中有400多人喪生。

A series of bombings in Iraq has killed at least 25 people. In Fallujah, west of the capital, two separate attacks killed 14 members of an anti-al-Qaeda militia unit, three soldiers and a senior police officer. The attacks add to a surge of violence that killed more than 200 people across the country in the last week of April, raising fears of a return to sectarian conflict.

The World Health Organisation says the new strain of bird flu that’s emerged in China poses a serious threat to human health. The H7N9 virus has infected at least 126 people since it was first detected last month. Twenty-four of them have died and many more are seriously ill in hospital. Scientists say they are concerned about the pace and severity of the outbreak.

Scientists have discovered proof that the first English settlers in America resorted to cannibalism to survive. The remains of a 14-year-old girl discovered at the Jamestown colony in the US state of Virginia show cuts to her face and efforts to extract her brain. Here’s Jane O'Brien.
科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)證據(jù)表明，首批到美國的英國定居者靠食人來求生。在美國弗吉尼亞州詹姆斯敦殖民地發(fā)現(xiàn)的14歲少女遺體顯示，她的面部有刀口，還有取其大腦的痕跡。簡·奧布萊恩報(bào)道。
The girl’s bones date to a period known to historians as The Starving Time. Scientists at the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History say somebody tried to pry open her skull to remove the brain. Other cuts reveal her facial tissue and tongue were also extracted. Forensic anthropologist Dr Doug Owsley says the discovery is compelling evidence that the early settlers resorted to cannibalism during the winter of 1609.
