The head of the UN mission responding to the Ebola emergency in West Africa has said that there's a critical need for hundreds more health workers to join the fight against the disease. Antony Banbury urged governments around the world to support their deployment, and to avoid any actions that would dissuade them from helping. His warning was echoed by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who criticized mandatory quarantine restrictions imposed on health workers returning from the affected region by several countries and cities.

聯(lián)合國(guó)西非埃博拉援助小組表示目前急需數(shù)百名醫(yī)護(hù)人員加入到對(duì)抗埃博拉疫情隊(duì)伍中來(lái)。Antony Banbury督促世界各國(guó)政府對(duì)他們的行動(dòng)提供支持，避免任何阻礙遏制疫情發(fā)展的事情發(fā)生。此番講話被聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)潘基文對(duì)批評(píng)部分國(guó)家對(duì)從疫情國(guó)家歸國(guó)的醫(yī)護(hù)人員進(jìn)行強(qiáng)制檢疫一事上引用。

Returning health workers who had managed to avoid infection are exceptional people. They should not be subjected to restrictions that have no scientific bases. They should not be stigmatized for their selfless service. We depend on them to fight this battle.

歸國(guó)醫(yī)護(hù)人員沒(méi)有感染上埃博拉病毒本身就是一件幸事。他們不應(yīng)該受到?jīng)]有科學(xué)依據(jù)的任何限制。他們不應(yīng)該被視為無(wú)私服務(wù)。我們需要他們來(lái)對(duì)抗埃博拉病毒。

Islamic rebel groups in Syria have carried out a major attack on the government-controlled city of Idlib in the northwest of the country. The offensive was led by the Nusra Front which has links with Al-Qaida. Reports say the rebels managed to capture several important buildings before being driven back to the city's outskirts.

敘利亞伊斯蘭叛軍對(duì)其國(guó)家西北部政府控制的Idlib地區(qū)發(fā)起了重大進(jìn)攻。此次進(jìn)攻由與基地組織相關(guān)聯(lián)的Nusra Front實(shí)施。報(bào)道稱叛軍計(jì)劃在返回城市外圍之前攻下幾所重要建筑。

A global body monitoring attempts to end polio has described Pakistan's program as a disaster. The independent monitoring board is made up of polio experts and reports to the World Health Organization. Pakistan accounted for 80% of new cases this year. But its government blames the current surge on the Taliban who attacked vaccination teams. Here is G. G.

全球監(jiān)測(cè)機(jī)構(gòu)試圖結(jié)束巴勒斯坦小兒麻痹恐慌，并稱巴勒斯坦的計(jì)劃幾乎就像是一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難。獨(dú)立監(jiān)督委員會(huì)由小兒麻痹專家組成并向世衛(wèi)組織直接報(bào)道。巴基斯坦今年小兒麻痹病例增加了80%。但是其政府卻責(zé)怪是塔利班襲擊了接種疫苗人群。G. G.發(fā)回報(bào)道。

The report by the independent monitoring board said Pakistan's program continues to flounder hopelessly as its virus flourishes. It was now the major stumbling block to polio eradication, it said, and went on to describe the level of political commitment and the involvement of civil society as totally inadequate. It recommends that its program is handed at once to the country's disaster management body which deals with emergencies like floods and earthquakes.

來(lái)自獨(dú)立監(jiān)督委員會(huì)的報(bào)道稱巴勒斯坦的計(jì)劃對(duì)控制病毒沒(méi)有任何作用。目前根除小兒麻痹是最主要的絆腳石，他說(shuō)，并且描述政治承諾水平和群眾社會(huì)參與是不足夠的。其建議巴勒斯坦計(jì)劃應(yīng)立刻交給應(yīng)對(duì)如洪水，地震之類突發(fā)事件的國(guó)家災(zāi)難管理機(jī)構(gòu)。

There has been shock in France at the revelation that the country's culture minister hasn't read a single novel in the past two years. The minister Fleur Pellerin made the admission while being interviewed on the television about the French winner of this year's Nobel Prize for literature Patrick Modiano. Our correspondent Lucy Williamson was watching.

法國(guó)人民聽(tīng)說(shuō)國(guó)家文化部長(zhǎng)在過(guò)去兩年時(shí)間里沒(méi)有讀過(guò)書感到震驚。部長(zhǎng)Fleur Pellerin在接受電視采訪提到紀(jì)念諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主Patrick Modiano的時(shí)候做出此番表態(tài)。下面是本臺(tái)記者Lucy Williamson發(fā)揮的報(bào)道。

In the interview yesterday, Mrs. Pellerin described having had a wonderful lunch with the writer in question, Patrick Modiano, but wasn't able to say which of his titles she preferred because she said she hadn't had time to read his books or indeed any others since taking up a ministerial post two years ago. Mrs. Pellerin's comments have caused a lively debate on social media with some accusing her of being a technocrat but many sympathize with her situation.

在昨天的采訪中，Pellerin稱與文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主Patrick Modiano共同度過(guò)了愉快的午餐時(shí)間。但是卻回答不出來(lái)喜歡Patrick Modiano的哪部作品。因?yàn)樗f(shuō)她在過(guò)去的兩年時(shí)間里根本沒(méi)有時(shí)間讀書。Pellerin的此番講話引起了社會(huì)各界在社交媒體上的熱烈討論，有些人指責(zé)她專家的身份，但是也有很多人對(duì)她表示同情。

A car bomb has exploded in the central of the Iraqi capital Baghdad killing at least eight people. The attack took place in a square in the Karada area that's a popular resting place for Shiah pilgrims on their way to religious commemorations in the holy city of Karbala.

伊拉克首都巴格達(dá)發(fā)生一起汽車爆炸事件造成至少八人死亡。襲擊事件發(fā)生在卡拉地區(qū)一個(gè)廣場(chǎng)，那里是什葉派朝圣者前往圣城卡爾巴拉途中最受歡迎的休息的地方。

A new study suggests that population growth is so out of control that a Third World Was costing as many lives as the previous two combined would barely have any effect. Australian researchers said projections put the number of humans at more than ten billion by the end of the century up from seven billion today.

一項(xiàng)最新研究表明，人口增長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)失去了控制，第三世界國(guó)家前兩次采取的聯(lián)合行動(dòng)沒(méi)有取得任何效果。澳大利亞研究人員表示本世紀(jì)末世界人口將由現(xiàn)在七十億增長(zhǎng)到一百多億人口數(shù)量。

A painting sold by the auction house Sotheby's in London for 83,000 dollars is at the center of a legal battle amid claims that it could be the work of the Baroque-Italian master Caravaggio and worth over 20 million dollars. In 2006 the then owner of the painting Bill S. asked Sotheby's for their opinion. They said it was a replica. The owner then sold it but the buyer claimed it was an original. Shane Pill reports.

倫敦蘇富比拍賣行以83000美元價(jià)格起拍售備受爭(zhēng)議的巴洛克風(fēng)格大師卡拉瓦喬作品，價(jià)值超過(guò)2000萬(wàn)美元。在2006年這幅作品的擁有者Bill S.向蘇富比拍賣行尋求意見(jiàn)。他們稱這是一件復(fù)制品。隨后作品擁有者賣掉了這件作品，但是買家稱此作品是原作品。Shane Pill發(fā)回報(bào)道。

It's called the Card Shops, and it depicts a wealthy young man at a card table falling victim to two cheats. As the trial got underway Henry Legg the lawyer representing Mr. S. said the issue is not whether the painting was by the Italian Baroque master; the core of the case, he said, was negligence and had claimed that Sotheby's had failed to thoroughly research the painting or consult outside experts. Sotheby's denies negligence.

這副作品名叫the Card Shop，描繪了一張桌子上有一位有錢的年輕人，遭到了兩個(gè)騙子的蠱惑。隨著審判的進(jìn)行，S. 的代表律師Henry Legg稱問(wèn)題不是這副作品到底是不是出自意大利巴洛克大師之手，案件的核心問(wèn)題是，他說(shuō)是工作失職問(wèn)題。并稱蘇富比沒(méi)有深入研究此作品也沒(méi)有咨詢外部專家。但是蘇富比方面否認(rèn)這一失職行為。

A man who has spent 19 years on death row in Nigeria and came within moments of being executed has been released. According to Amnesty International, the prisoner was last year taken to be hanged when his guards suddenly realized that he was actually supposed to be shot. The delay enabled lawyers to question the fairness of the military tribunal that convicted him. Amnesty International says Mr. E. has been freed by the governor of Kaduna State.

尼日利亞一名用19年時(shí)間等待死刑的犯人在被執(zhí)行死刑的時(shí)候被釋放。根據(jù)國(guó)際大赦法，去年在犯人執(zhí)行絞刑的時(shí)候他的衛(wèi)兵突然意識(shí)到此犯人應(yīng)該被處以槍決。這一延遲促使律師對(duì)軍事法庭做出的判決提出質(zhì)疑。大赦國(guó)際稱E.已經(jīng)被卡杜納州州長(zhǎng)釋放。
