The decade in news photographs

新闻图片中的上个十年

December 18, 2009

Call it what you will, "the noughties", "the two-thousands" or something else, the first decade of the 21st century (2000-2009) is now over. Looking back on the past ten years through news photographs, it becomes clear that it was a dramatic, often brutal decade. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks and wars were by far the most dominant theme. Ten years ago, Bill Clinton was ending his final term in office, very few had ever heard of Osama bin Laden, the Taliban ruled Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein still ruled Iraq - all that and much more has changed in the intervening time. It's really an impossible task to sum up ten years in a handful of photographs, but below is my best attempt at a look back at the last decade.

不论你称之为“前十年”，“2000年代”或是别的什么。21世纪的头十年已经过去了。当我们通过新闻照片回眸这过去的十年的时候，它很明显的是一个戏剧性，也经常残忍的十年。自然灾害，恐怖袭击和战争是目前为止最主要的主题。十年前，比尔·克林顿结束了他最后的一个任期的时候，几乎没几个人听说过奥萨马本拉登，塔利班在统治着阿富汗，而萨达姆还在控制着伊拉克，这一切都已经改变了。想要用一些图片把这十年表现出来是不可能的，但是下面是我尽最大努力整理出的过去十年的图片

This is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Starting in late 2003, astronomers pointed Hubble at a tiny, relatively empty part of our sky (only a few stars from the Milky Way visible), and created an exposure nearly 12 days long over a four-month period. The result is this amazing image, looking back through time at thousands of galaxies that range from 1 to 13 billion light-years away from Earth. Some 10,000 galaxies were observed in this tiny patch of sky (a tenth the size of the full moon) - each galaxy a home to billions of stars. (NASA/ESA/S. Beckwith - STScI, and The HUDF Team) #

10 Fascinating International Facts That Are Wrong

10 Fascinating International Facts That Are Wrong

十大奇异的国际误解

My first list was accused of being too American-centric. So here are 10 more corrections to misconceptions that non-Listverse people may have but this time you’ll need your passport handy to read it.
我的第一个列表被指责说是太以美国为中心了。于是我找出了另外十个大家可能常有误解的正确解读，但是这次你要有护照在手方能一读。
10
俄国（Russia）
The Error: The former Soviet Union celebrated the October Revolution in October.
Although the Bolsheviks took control over October 25-26, 1917, this was under the Old Style (Julian) calendar. One of the first things the Communists did was to modernize their calendar to the Gregorian Calendar – thereby pushing the day ahead 13 days (into November). This was a major holiday in the Soviet Union, mostly because with the official ban on religion the biggest holidays were civil holidays such as May Day and the October Revolution.
误解：前苏联在十月份庆祝十月革命。
尽管布尔什维克在1917年十月25-26日之间取得了胜利，但这是俄罗斯旧历（儒略历）的十月。而共产主义者们最先做的事之一就是把历法换成了现代的格里历（公历）——因此把革命胜利这天后推了13天（成了11月）。这是苏联的主要节日之一，主要是因为禁止庆祝以前的节日而要庆祝国际劳动节和十月革命日这样的节日。
9
德国&英国（Germany & Britain）
The Error: The British king George I of Hanover used English or German when speaking with his cabinet.
I don’t know that this is so much a misconception as “it’s obvious” that a British monarch would speak English. Those who know history and realize George I was a German prince who spoke no English may then think that “it’s obvious” he and his advisors spoke German. The reality is that since his cabinet did not speak German, the lingua franca in the meetings was French.
错误：英国国王乔治一世
汉诺威选帝侯在同内阁讲话时使用英语或德语。
我不知道这种是否是一种“想当然的”英国元首自然可以说英语的误解。那些学过历史的人会意识到乔治一世是位完全不会说英语的德国王子，然后会认为“明显的”他和他的顾问们说德语。而是事实，由于他的内阁成员不会说德语，当他们会面时他们之间说的混合语是法语。

英国&法国（Britain & France）
The Error: The Titanic was the first ship known to use the distress code “SOS”?
Although British ships preferred the traditional distress call “CQD”, most of the other European countries used the International Conference on Wireless Communication at Sea standard set in 1908 of “SOS”. The French ship Niagara is known to have used “SOS” well before the Titanic did. Incidently, in CQD, the CQ was a general call on a telegraph line with the D standing for Distress. In James Cameron’s “Titanic”, he did get it right that the radio operator tried both CQD and SOS after the new distress call was suggested to him.
误解：泰坦尼克号是第一艘使用国际遇险求救电码“SOS”的船？
尽管英国的船只更喜欢使用传统的求救信号“CQD”，但是欧洲大陆的大部分国家使用在1908年在国际海上无线通信标准会议上确定的“SOS”。法国船只尼亚加拉号在泰坦尼克之前就使用了“SOS”。顺便说一句，在“CQD”之中，CQ表示了通常用的无线电线路而D代表了求救。在詹姆斯卡梅隆的电影《泰坦尼克》中，他正确的让无线电操作者发出了CQD和在新的求救信号发出时使用了SOS。

黎巴嫩（Lebanon）
The Error: John Kennedy was the first to say “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
Yes, the misconception is American but the backstory is international. American politicians are renowned for plagiarizing their best lines from foreign sources. For example, Abraham Lincoln took the phrase “a government of the people, by the people and for the people” from the preface of John Wycliff’s 1384 edition of the Bible and current Vice-President Joe Biden cribbed a few speeches while in the Senate from Labour Party MP Neil Kinnock. This quote thought by many Americans to be pure Kennedy was actually from Lebanese writer Khalil Gibran in an article advocating his Lebanese brethren to rebel against the occupying Ottoman Turks.
误解：约翰肯尼迪是第一个说出：“不要问你的国家为你做了什么，问问你自己能为国家做什么”的人。
是的，这个误解是美国的，但背景确实国际的。
美国的政客因为在他们的演讲中抄袭外国的名句而出名。举例来说吧，林肯从约翰·威克里夫1384年版本的圣经中抄袭了“一个民有、民治、民享的政府”这段话，而现任的副总统拜登向前英国工党党魁基诺克那里抄袭了一些演讲词。这段被美国人民奉为箴言的肯尼迪的引言其实是黎巴嫩作家
Khalil Gibran在一篇动员号召黎巴嫩人民抗击奥斯曼帝国的文章中写出的。

澳大利亚&苏格兰（Australia & Scotland）
The Error: Alexander Fleming invented the antibiotic “penicillin”.
Many will disagree with this since it is more a question of semantics than a misconception. Although Alexander Fleming DISCOVERED that the mold Penicillium notatum has antibacterial properties, he was not a chemist and growing and culturing the mold was difficult for him. Howard Florey with the assistance of Ernst Chain was able to purify the penicillin and put it in a form for use in humans, thereby INVENTING penicillin as a true antibiotic.
误解：亚历山大·弗莱明发明了抗生素“盘尼西林（青霉素）”
很多人不同意这个问题因为错误更多的是基于语义上的。尽管弗莱明发现了霉菌盘尼西林可以抗菌，但是他并不是一位化学家而且培育霉菌对他来说也是一件难事。
Howard Florey在
Ernst Chain的帮助下提纯了盘尼西林并把它转化成人们能使用的形式，这样才真正发明了抗生素盘尼西林。

瑞士和英国（Switzerland and Britain）
The Error: Watson and Crick discovered DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Again, people on Listverse will say “everyone knows that” but many people learn the simplified version that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA, probably because they won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. The true discoverer was Friedrich Miescher was analyzing pus cell nuclei in 1868 when he discovered nuclein. He was able to analyze this further and discovered an acid component which he called deoxyribonucleic acid. Scientists Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty were the first to show a link between DNA and heredity in 1943 and Rosalind Franklin did the first X-ray diffraction pattern study of DNA. What Watson & Crick did was to develop a model of DNA that accounted for all of the previous research discoveries.
误解：沃森和克里克发现了DNA（脱氧核糖核酸）。
又一次，人们会说“人尽皆知”但是很多人很多人知道的是简化的版本说詹姆斯·沃森和弗朗西斯·克里克发现了DNA，也许是因为他们因为发现了DNA的双链结构而赢得了诺贝尔奖。其实真实的发现者
Friedrich Miescher
是在1868年分析核蛋白质的时候发现了DNA。他还进一步分析了和这发现这中酸化合物而他把这较为脱氧核糖酸。科学家
Avery, MacLeod和McCarty在1943年第一次解释了DNA之间的链而
Rosalind Frankli第一次对DNA进行了X光扫描研究。沃森和克里克发现的其实是基于前人基础上的DNA双链结构。

法国（France）
The Error: Mouton-Rothschild is a top-grade Chateau claret.
The five growths (classes) of red Bordeaux were determined in 1855. Four were considered First Class Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, Haut-Brion. Mouton-Rothschild did not like being place in second class so their motto is “Premier ne puis. Second ne daigne. Mouton suis.” (First I cannot be. Second I do not deign to be. I am Mouton.) All I know is I certainly would not turn down a glass of it.
误解：木桶罗斯柴尔德庄
是顶级的红酒庄园。
五大酒庄是在1855年确定的。四个是
Lafite-Rothschild、
Latour、Margaux、Haut-Brion。
Mouton-Rothschild并不喜欢位列二等酒庄因此他们的座右铭是“
Premier ne puis. Second ne daigne. Mouton suis
”（一等吾未进，二等非吾愿，吾乃木桶庄）我所知道的是我十分不想给他降低等级。

苏格兰和意大利（Scotland and Italy）
The Error: The fax machine was invented after the telephone.
Scottish inventor Alexander Bain had invented the electric clock back in 1841. In 1843 he used his work on electric clock to patent a device that could be synchronized with a twin over telegraph lines, which according to some stories he did so he could transmit a picture of a new-born calf (if true it would need to be a daguerreotype which seems very unlikely for just a cow). Frederick Bakewell patented a better fax machine in 1848, two years before Bain updated his and in 1861 an Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first high quality fax. All of this was done before both Alexander Bell and Elisha Gray independently filed for the telephone patent on 14 February 1876.
误解：传真机的发明在电话发明之后。
苏格兰发明家亚历山大·贝恩在1841年发明了电子钟。在1843年他在电子表上的工作能通过两根电信同步时间，而除此之外他也传输了一个新生的小牛的照片。
Frederick Bakewell在1848制造了一个更好的传真机，这是在贝恩更新他的机器的两年之前而1861年意大利人
Giovanni Caselli发明了第一个高质量传真机。所有的这一切都在贝尔和格雷1876年2月14日发明电话之前完成。

德国（Germany）
The Error: Albert Einstein was a poor student.
The myth that Einstein was a poor student started when an American researcher mistranslated some of Einstein’s report cards by not taking into account the grading system at the time. While Einstein was in school, students were given grades 1 to 6, 1 being the best. This was reversed (1 was worst) the year after Einstein graduated. Further research has uncovered a letter from Albert’s mother to his aunt complimenting his grades, but I guess the image of Einstein going from failing school to being a top physicist is too good to be changed because of the truth.
误解：爱因斯坦是个差学生。
关于爱因斯坦是个差学生的虚构自一个美国学者误解了爱因斯坦的学习报告时候的评级标准。当爱因斯坦上学的时候，学生们的成绩是从1到6，1分是最高的成绩。这种情况从爱因斯坦毕业的那年开始反转了（1是最差的成绩）。还有研究发掘出了阿尔伯特的妈妈给他阿姨的心中抱怨他的成绩，但是我猜测就算有这封信爱因斯坦从一个差学生到最牛的物理学家的转变也是不太可能发生的。

中国（China）
The Error: Pandas eat only bamboo.
The reason that pandas eat so much bamboo is that it doesn’t run away. They are omnivores that have adapted to a primarily bamboo diet but they will eat anything they can catch like small animals and carrion. The problem is that they are so slow from the fact that bamboo doesn’t provide a lot of energy that it is hard to catch anything else – a vicious cycle. There are a couple of great articles by National Geographic about the pandas from the 1980’s
误解：大熊猫只吃竹子。
熊猫吃这么多竹子的原因只在于竹子没腿不会跑。它们是适应了以竹子为主的食谱的杂食动物，但是它们会吃一切它们能逮到的小动物和腐肉。问题是他们因为吃了竹子不能获得足够的能量导致行动缓慢，这更进一步让它们不能抓住其他的食物，这是一个恶性循环。关于这方面，《国际地理杂志》在1980年代有很多伟大的作品来反映。
附加
不是美国（Not the United States）
The Error: The United States is the only country that measures things by feet, gallons, pounds, and degrees Fahrenheit.
To demonstrate how out-of-date the U.S. is from basically everyone else in the world, it is pointed out by scientists and metricians that we still use the archaic English system. It may be true, but we are not the only ones. Liberia uses the same system which is not a surprise considering that the country was started by former American slaves who named their capital after American president James Monroe and it was only recently that Liberia’s president was not a descendent of the original American emigrants. And there is a third country that uses the system – Myanmar (pictured above). As a former British colony, they of course adopted the English system. After gaining their independence, the country changed its name from Burma but not how it measured things.
误解：美国是唯一一个以英尺、加仑、磅和华氏温度作为计量单位的国家。
为了解释美国跟世界上的其他国家相比是多么的过时，科学家指出我们仍在用原始的英制单位系统。这也许是真的，但是我们不是唯一还在用的。利比里亚也在使用相同的制式，鉴于这个国家是为原来美国的黑奴所建立的首都还以美国总统詹姆斯蒙罗维亚命名而且直到最近利比里亚的总统才不是美国移民的后裔，这并不让人感到惊讶。还有第三个国家还在用这种制式——缅甸（上图中的国家）。作为英国的前殖民地，他们理所当然的接受了英国的计量系统。在获得独立之后他们改变了英文名但是并没有改变如何计量东西。

Google Asks Spy Agency for Help With Inquiry Into Cyberattacks

Google 向情报部门请求帮助以抵挡黑客袭击

By JOHN MARKOFF

Published: February 4, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO — Google has turned to the National Security Agency for technical assistance to learn more about the computer network attackers who breached the company’s cybersecurity defenses last year, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement said Thursday.

Google正在去年发生的危及到他们公司网络安全的网络攻击向NSA（美国国家安全局）寻求更多的帮助，一位内部知晓合作消息人士在周四透露。

The collaboration between Google, the world’s largest search engine company, and the federal agency in charge of global electronic surveillance raises both civil liberties issues and new questions about how much Google knew about the electronic thefts it experienced when it stated last month that it might end its business operations in China, where it said the attacks originated. The agreement was first reported on Wednesday evening by The Washington Post.

此次的合作在全球最大的搜索引擎公司Google与负责监控全球电子信息的联邦机构，而这引发了关于公民自由权的担忧和一个新的问题——Google当它上个月在宣布可能因为源自中国的网络袭击而结束在中国的业务的时候关于电子信息被窃具体知道多少。这份协议在周三晚上被华盛顿邮报所第一次披露。

By turning to the N.S.A., which has no statutory authority to investigate domestic criminal acts, instead of the Department of Homeland Security, which does have such authority, Google is clearly seeking to avoid having its search engine, e-mail and other Web services regulated as part of the nation’s “critical infrastructure.”

通过寻求与国家安全局这个没有国内犯罪调查权利的机构合作，而不是与有这种权利的机构国土安全部寻求合作，Google很明确的是要避免使它的搜索引擎、Email和其他网络服务被当作国家的“重要基础结构”而被控制。

The United States government has become increasingly concerned about the computer risks confronting energy and water distribution systems and financial and communications networks. Systems designated as critical infrastructure are increasingly being held to tighter regulatory standards.

美国政府越来越关注计算机在能源与水配给网络和金融与通信网络上面临的危险。作为基础架构的系统在被选定时正在以更加高的标准加以选择。

On Jan. 12, Google announced a “new approach to China,” stating that the attacks were “highly sophisticated” and came from China. At the time, it gave few details about the attacks other than to say that a theft of its intellectual property had occurred and that a primary goal of the attackers had been to gain access to the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.

在1月12日，Google宣布了：“针对中国的新策略”，指出了黑客攻击是“非常熟练的”而且来自中国。在那时，Google关于网络攻击只给了很少的细节，不同于此，Google直接表明了窃取信息的人主要的目标是获取中国维权人士的Gmail账户。

In reaching out to the N.S.A., which has extensive abilities to monitor global Internet traffic, the company may have been hoping to gain more certainty about the identity of the attackers. A number of computer security consultants who worked with other companies that experienced attacks similar to those of Google have stated that the surveillance system was controlled from a series of compromised server computers based in Taiwan. It is not clear how Google determined that the attacks originated in China.

通过向拥有监管全球网络流量能力的机构NSA抛出橄榄枝，Google公司也许是想要获得更多关于袭击者的信息。一些与其他公司一同工作的电脑安全顾问感觉到这些袭击像同对Google描述的一样，那就是这些袭击的控制电脑全部来自台湾。目前尚不清楚Google如何确定这些攻击源自中国。

A Google spokeswoman said the company was declining to comment on the case beyond what it published last month. An N.S.A. spokeswoman said, “N.S.A. is not able to comment on specific relationships we may or may not have with U.S. companies,” but added, the agency worked with “a broad range of commercial partners” to ensure security of information systems.

一位Google的发言人说他们公司拒绝就上个月公布内容之外的东西进行评论。而NSA的发言人说：“NSA不能对未知的与美国公司的特定合作进行评论。”但又进一步说他们机构会为了保障信息系统安全而和“很多公司”进行合作。

The agency’s responsibility to secure the government’s computer networks almost certainly was another reason Google turned to it, said a former federal computer security specialist.

NSA为了政府电脑网络安全的回应几乎确定了另一个Google与它合作的原因，一位前联邦电脑安全专家说。

“This is the other side of N.S.A. — this is the security service that does defensive measures,” said the specialist, James A. Lewis, a director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It’s not unusual for people to go to N.S.A. and say ‘please take a look at my code.’ ”

“这就是NSA的另一面——提供安全服务的保障手段。” 国际战略研究中心的专家James A.Lewis说到：“这种人们去跟NSA说‘请看一眼我的代码吧’的行为并不常见。”

The agreement will not permit the agency to have access to information belonging to Google users, but it still reopens long-standing questions about the role of the agency.

这份协议并不会允许NSA获取Google用户们的信息，但是仍会重开长久以来对于这个机构定位的疑问。

“Google and N.S.A. are entering into a secret agreement that could impact the privacy of millions of users of Google’s products and services around the world,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington-based policy group. On Thursday, the organization filed a lawsuit against the N.S.A., calling for the release of information about the agency’s role as it was set out in National Security Presidential Directive 54/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 23 , a classified 2008 order issued by President George W. Bush dealing with cybersecurity and surveillance.

“Google与NSA的合作会对世界上数以百万计使用Google产品用户的隐私产生重要的影响。”来自华盛顿政治团体电子隐私信息中心的主管Marc Rotenberg说。在周四的时候买这个组织起诉了NSA，说它超出了小布什总统关于2008年关于网络安全与监管而制定的《国家安全保障第54号总统令》和《国土安全保障第23号总统令》所划定的范围。

Concerns about the nation’s cybersecurity have greatly increased in the past two years. On Tuesday, Dennis C. Blair, the director of national intelligence, began his annual threat testimony before Congress by saying that the threat of a crippling attack on telecommunications and other computer networks was growing, as an increasingly sophisticated group of enemies had “severely threatened” the sometimes fragile systems behind the country’s information infrastructure.

在过去的两年关于国家网络安全的关注已经激增。在周二的时候，国家情报局局长Dennis C. Blair在国会发表针对电信的袭击减少而针对电脑的袭击增加的言论之前开始他年度的风险报告，而增长迅猛的敌人已经“严重威胁”了有时落在国家信息架构身后的易碎的电脑系统。

“Malicious cyberactivity is occurring on an unprecedented scale with extraordinary sophistication,” he told the committee.

他告诉委员会说：“恶意的网络行为正在不可预知的范围内伴随着异乎老练的手法出现。”

The relationship that the N.S.A. has struck with Google is known as a cooperative research and development agreement, according to a person briefed on the relationship. These were created as part of the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 and are essentially a written agreement between a private company and a government agency to work together on a specific project. They are intended to help accelerate the commercialization of government-developed technology.

根据一人简述的内容，NSA与Google的关系是合作研究开发协议。这是作为《联邦政府技术转让法》的一部分而做出的，而且本质上是的针对特定项目公司与政府部门之间的一个秘密协定。他们倾向于加速政府开发科技的商业化进程。

In addition to the N.S.A., Google has been working with the F.B.I. on the attack inquiry, but the bureau has so far declined to comment publicly or to share information about the intrusions with Congress.

除了与NSA的合作之外，Google还被FBI（联邦调查局）在网络网络袭击问题上进行了询问么不过FBI到目前为止仍然拒绝向大众评论此事或是向国会分享关于网络入侵的信息

China censors Oscar nominations

中国“和谐”了奥斯卡提名

China has censored this year's nominations for the Academy Awards, blocking out the name of a documentary about the aftermath of the Sichuan earthquake

中国队今年学院奖的提名进行了审查，把关于四川地震的纪录片.

By Malcolm Moore in Shanghai
Published: 6:00AM GMT 04 Feb 2010

China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province promotional poster

China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province, was one of five films nominated for best documentary short.

劫后天府泪纵横是5部提名奥斯卡最佳纪录短片的影片之一。

The movie shows the aftermath of the Sichuan earthquake in May 2008, when over 70,000 people died, including 10,000 children, who were killed as their shoddily-built school buildings collapsed around them.

这部电影展示了一幅2008年五月当逾七万人在地震中丧生，而且还有一万名因为豆腐渣校舍坍塌而死亡的孩子的惨烈景象。

The collapse of the school buildings, killing the only child of many families, continues to be a highly-sensitive issue in Sichuan.

这些教学楼的倒塌杀死了很多家庭唯一的孩子，而在四川省这仍然是一个高度敏感的话题。

Grieving families have accused government officials of stealing the construction budget of the schools, creating flimsy deathtraps for the children inside. In Dujiangyan, some parents said the concrete of the middle school had been reinforced with bamboo, rather than steel rods.

悲痛的家庭控诉政府关于擅自挪用学校建筑预算的官员，这些人把孩子们置于危险之中。在都江堰，一些家长说中学教学楼预应力混凝土中的钢筋被换成了竹子。

However, the Chinese government has insisted that there was no wrongdoing leading up to the earthquake.

然而中国政府却仍在坚持说自己对地震中的损失毫无责任。

The documentary follows several groups of parents as their grief turned into protest.

这部纪录片跟随拍摄了几拨化悲痛为抗议的家长，

"It was tofu construction," said one interviewee, while another held up a brick to show how easy it was to brush off the "mortar" on one side.

“这就是豆腐渣工程。”一位受访者说到，而另一位受访者拿起一块砖头展示了要刷掉它边缘的“砂浆”是多么容易。

The 40-minute film shows how the parents are stonewalled and ignored by Communist party officials.

这部四十分钟的影片展示了共产党官员是如何阻碍和忽视这些家长的。

It was blocked from being aired in China, and the words "unnatural disaster" have been censored from the Chinese internet.

这段影片在中国被禁止播放，而且“人祸”这个词也已经在网上成了敏感词。

When the film garnered its Oscar nomination, Chinese media outlets either removed the film from their reports, or omitted the entire category.

当这部影片被奥斯卡提名的时候，中国的媒体在发表提名名单时不是把这部电影移除了，就是直接删除了整个（最佳纪录短片奖）分类。

There is also speculation that the Oscar ceremony itself may not be aired live in China because of the potential embarrassment if the movie wins.

同时也有预测说为了防止这部片子获奖而带来的尴尬，今年的奥斯卡颁奖典仪在中国并不会直播。

Instead, an edited version of the ceremony may be screened.

取而代之的是，被编辑过的版本会被搬上电视屏幕。

The move comes in the midst of an extremely hardline censorship campaign, which has seen internet cut off entirely in the far Western province of Xinjiang and may yet force Google to abandon its Chinese business.

现在已经到了与最严格的审查进行战役的一步，我们已经看到了新疆这个偏远的西部省份互联网被完全切断而Google也可能要放弃在中国的生意。

Xinhua, the official government news agency, reported that 900,000 mobile phones had been blocked in the southern province of Guangdong because they had been used to send text messages which contravened new regulations on obscene and controversial content.

官方的新华社报道说在南部省份广东已经有九十万部手机因为发送淫秽和不和谐的短信而被停止短信功能，

The End of Diplomacy?

The End of Diplomacy?

美国外交政策的终结？

Once up a time, Americans achieved great things abroad. No longer.

曾经，美国在国外取得了巨大的成就。但，再也不是了。

BY AARON DAVID MILLER | FEBRUARY 3, 2010

Back in the day, there was a time when American diplomacy did big and important things.

曾几何时，美国在外交上做了很多成功和重要的事情。

No more, it seems. The world's gotten complicated; America is a good deal weaker; and the U.S. administration is handicapping itself with a dysfunctional bureaucratic setup that makes it harder to focus and find its footing.

但是看起来那样的日子一去不返了。世界在变得复杂；美国也衰落了许多；而且美国政府正在把自己变成一个无能的官僚机构让它自己难以找到自己的立足点。

Effective American diplomacy may well be going the way of the dodo; and the sad fact is there may be little Barack Obama can do about it.

事实上美国外交可能正在走向不可挽回的灭亡，而令人难过的事实是奥巴马在挽回美国外交上几乎什么都做不了。

Lamenting the absence of great men years before his own shining moment, Winston Churchill wrote that in England, once upon a time, "there were wonderful giants of old." There's always a danger in idealizing what once was or seemed to be in order to make a point about the present. Still, looking back over the last 60 years, you really do have to wonder whether America's best diplomacy and foreign policy are behind it.

在伟人闪光之前是没有伟人的悲伤岁月，丘吉尔一次在英格兰的时候写到，“现在只有老去的巨人了。”通过对于过去的理想化猜想来解决今天的看法是危险的。让我们回眸过去的六十年，你会禁不住猜想美国最好的外交政策是在这之前的。

America never ran the world (an illusion the left, right, and much of the third and fourth worlds believe); but there were moments (1945-1950, the early 1970s, 1988-1991) when the United States marshaled its military, political, and economic power toward impressive ends.

美国从来没有驾驭过全世界（不过左右派和大多数的第三世界国家相信这个假象），但是确实有几个时期（1945-1950，1970年代初，1988-1991）当时美国在军事、政治和经济上的实力是给人们留下了深刻印象的。

There were, or course, disasters and plenty of dysfunction during these years, including Vietnam War and out-of-control CIA operations. But there were also brilliant achievements: the Marshall Plan, NATO, effective Arab-Israeli diplomacy, détente with the Russians, opening to China, a competent American role in the acceleration and management of the end of the Cold War, and the first Gulf War.

这些年有一些事情是或造成了灾难和政府功能的失效，其中包括了越南战争和对CIA控制的失灵。但是美国也有几个明智的功绩：马歇尔计划、北约、有效的阿拉伯—以色列外交、与俄国关系的缓和、对中国的开放、称职的完成了在结束冷战中的职责以及第一次海湾战争。

For most of the last 16 years, however -- under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush -- America has been in a diplomatic dry patch. In the face of terrorism, nuclear proliferation, wars of choice, and nasty regional conflicts, conventional diplomacy has either not been tried or not been very successful. The image of the shuttling secretary of state pre-empting crises or exploiting them to broker agreements, doggedly pursuing Middle East peace, achieving dramatic breakthroughs with spectacular secret diplomacy seems a world away.

然而在过去16年在比尔克林顿和小布什管理下的大多数时候，美国的外交政策陷于停滞。当面对恐怖主义、核武器扩散、战争的选择以及令人厌恶的地区冲突的时候，常规的外交策略已经不能适用或是不成功了。那种国务卿来来回回的预先化解危机或是促进他们达成协议、，不屑的促进中东和平，通过令人吃惊的秘密来戏剧性的获得民主上的突破的景象看起来一去不复返了。

The Obama administration wants to do this kind of stuff. And it has done pretty well in managing the big relationships with Russia and Europe, though it has had its share of problems with China. But frankly, these are the easy ones. It's not from the big that the president's problems come; it's from the small.

奥巴马政府希望能做这种事。而且它在管理与俄国和欧洲的重要关系上做的很不错，尽管仍然同中国还有些问题。但是说实话，这些都是小问题。这并不是来自总统的大问题，这些都是小问题。

In garden spots like Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia, the problems are four parts military, five parts nation-building, and maybe one part diplomacy. And America is unlikely to prevail in any meaningful sense of the word where corrupt, extractive regimes are unable to control their own territory and cut deals with anti-American elements and place their security and political concerns first.

在热点问题如伊拉克、巴基斯坦、阿富汗、也门和索马里，这些是四个地区的军事问题、五个国家的国家建设问题，以及也许是一个部分的外交问题。美国不大可能去劝说那些腐败丛生、不能有效控制它们自己的恐怖活动或者切断与反美组织把自己的安全和政策放在第一位的国家。

Even in areas where diplomacy might seem to work on paper -- Kashmir, Arab-Israeli peacemaking -- the United States is hampered by conflicts driven by deep ethnic and religious hostility and by internal politics in which its own allies (Israel, Pakistan, and India) can't be of much help. And in one of the cruelest ironies of all, the U.S. president who has gone further to engage Iran than any of his predecessors is watching any hope for diplomacy being ground up by a regime under siege in Tehran.

即使是那些看起来外交政策还不错的地区——克什米尔、阿拉伯-以色列和平进程——美国也被种族宗教和内部同盟之间（以色列、巴基斯坦和印度）驱使的争斗所阻碍。而且最具有讽刺意味的就是当现任美国总统比他的前任们更努力的去解决伊朗的问题却看到任何外交上的希望都被德黑兰的政权所碾碎。

What's more, the power of the small is being matched by the weakening of the big. You don't have to be a declinist (I'm not) to see how far the image of American power has fallen. Forget the economic meltdown, which has much of the world wondering about what kind of great power the United States really is. America's currently fighting two wars where the standard for victory is not whether it can win but when it can leave.

而且小的国家已经开始被与衰落的大国开始相提并论。你不必是个衰落主义者（我就不是）就可以看到美国的势力已经有多么的衰落。忘记经济的衰败吧，那让世界很大程度的猜测美国到底真实水平是什么。美国进行的两场战争胜利标准已经不是是否可以赢，而是多会能撤军了。

Whether it's an inability to get tough sanctions from the international community against Iran, bring Tehran to heel, make North Korea play ball, get the Arabs and the Israelis to cooperate, or push the Pakistanis to hit the Taliban and al Qaeda in a sustained way, the world has gotten used to saying no to America without cost or consequence. And that's very bad for a great power.

对是否能得到国际社会制裁伊朗把德黑兰摔入地狱这样支持的无能为力，让朝鲜遵守国际规则，让阿拉伯世界和以色列合作或者是推动巴基斯坦长期打击塔利班和基地组织，这些事件已经让世界开始不用惧怕和承担任何后果的对美国说不。这对这个超级大国来说真是再糟糕不过了。

Finally, there's the issue of how the country organizes itself. A new bureaucratic flowchart won't replace skill and luck, better marshal American power, or create genuine opportunities for success abroad. But if you don't have the right structure, it makes success all that much harder.

最终，这儿还有这个国家如何管理它自己的问题。一个新的官僚体系运转图不能取代技术和运气，更好的重整美国的力量或者创造真正在国外成功的机会。但是如果你没有一个正确的架构，要成功是难于登天。

And the United States has departed from the one model that has proven successful: the strong foreign-policy president empowering the strong secretary of state who rides herd over subcabinet-level envoys in real time and in close coordination with the president on strategy.

美国已经开始背弃了一个已经被证明是成功的模式：强力的总统授权国务卿的外交政策，而国务卿实时聚集总统顾问级别的使节与他们密切合作来符合总统的政策。

Instead, the Obama administration has created an empire of envoys with power concentrated in the White House but without real purpose or strategy. The nation's top diplomat (the secretary of state) seems to be everywhere and nowhere in terms of owning issues and finding a way to take on some of the nastiest challenges, which is what secretaries of state are supposed to do.

取而代之的是，奥巴马政府实现了对使节的绝对控制但却没有明确的目标和策略。这个国家的最高外交官（国务卿）看起来哪儿都去了，但是没有在任何地方进行谈判和解决一些最危机的问题，而这本应该是国务卿的职责。

It's still early, and maybe the Obama administration will get lucky. Perhaps the Iranian regime will collapse or the Arabs and Israelis will do something good by themselves. But the next several years are more likely to be tough ones for American diplomacy. And the image that comes to mind isn't a terribly kind one: America as a kind of modern-day Gulliver tied up by tiny tribes abroad and hobbled by its inability to organize its own house at home.

现在断言为时尚早，而且奥巴马政府也许会变得幸运。也许伊朗政权会倒台或者阿拉伯世界和以色列会做一些做他们自己有益的事。但接下来的几年对于美国外交政策看起来会有更大的考验。下面这个情形并不是最艰难的一种：美国像现代的格利弗一样被众多国外的小国所羁绊而且因为他自己国内机构的无能而步履蹒跚。

What to make of the latest row between China and America over Taiwan?

原文：What to make of the latest row between China and America over Taiwan?

译文：对台军售会如何影响中美关系？

Feb 2nd 2010 | WASHINGTON, DC | From The Economist online

IS IT a crisis or just (show) business as usual? With China and America, it can be hard to tell. Almost immediately after the United States said that it intended to sell more than $6 billion-worth of arms to Taiwan, the Chinese went into a spin. They summoned the American ambassador to denounce this interference in China’s “internal affairs” (Taiwan is part of the mainland, says the government in Beijing), threatened to cut off military ties with the United States and said they would impose sanctions on American firms involved in the Taiwan deal.

这很难说此次这中美之间的是一场危机亦或仅仅如以往一样还是一场商业秀。几乎紧跟在美国抛出对台湾的六十亿美元军售计划之后，中国就做出了回应。他们召唤了美国驻华大使来谴责这件干预中国“内政”的事情（北京政府强调台湾是大陆的一部分），并且威胁要中止双方的军事合作，以及要制裁那些出售给台湾军火的公司。

None of this looks good for the world’s most consequential relationship. From global warming to the sickly world economy to stopping nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, co-operation between the established superpower and the rising one is vital to world stability. Why should either want to jeopardise this relationship?

上述的种种情况使得目前世界上最重要的双边关系显得非常糟糕。从全球变暖问题，到解决经济危机，再到防止朝鲜和伊朗的核扩散，两个超级大国的合作对世界稳定是至关重要的。但是为什么它们都想要损害这种关系呢？

That question has produced several theories. One is that China’s spritely economy is making it less afraid of conflict with a tiring America, especially when it thinks that “core” interests such as its claim to sovereignty over Taiwan or Tibet are at stake. The other is that America timed the Taiwan arms sale in part to punish China—for its shabby treatment of Barack Obama during last November’s presidential visit to Beijing, for its foot-dragging at December’s Copenhagen climate summit and for its reluctance to support new United Nations sanctions on Iran. Of course, neither theory excludes the other and bits of both may be true. But a third possibility is that there is in fact less to this “crisis” than meets the eye.

这个问题的原因已经有好几种理论来解释。一种是中国生机勃勃的经济状况让他不惧怕与美国产生冲突，特别当触及到中国的核心问题，比如对台湾和西藏的主权问题受到危机的时候。另一种说法是美国定时向台湾出售军火是针对中国的惩罚的一部分——为了报复十一月欧巴马总统来华访问时的不公正待遇、十二月在哥本哈根拖了美国的后腿以及在联合国制裁伊朗上的勉强态度。当然了，没有一种理论把另一种排除在外而且它们都有部分是正确的。但是第三种可能是这种“危机”没看上去那么严重。

America is obliged under the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 to provide the island with the arms it needs to defend itself. America and China both knew that the United States would announce the package at some time and that China would vehemently oppose it, as it always does. The package includes some sophisticated weapons, such as Black Hawk helicopters and Harpoon missiles, but it does not include F-16 fighters that the Taiwanese would dearly like. As to the timing, says a senior administration official, “this is one of those issues where the timing is never right.” It certainly would not have been clever to announce the sale immediately before or after last year’s presidential goodwill visit to China.

美国是在承担1979年出台的《台湾关系法》规定的提供台湾军事装备来保卫台湾岛的义务。美国和中国都知道美国一定会在某时提出军售计划而中国会像往常一样激烈反对。军售计划中包括了一些尖端武器，例如黑鹰直升机和鱼叉导弹，但是并没有包括台湾人最渴望得到的F—16战斗机。关于（出售的）时机，一位资深管理官员说：“这是那些永远等不到正确的时候的议题之一。”在去年总统抱有良好意愿的访问前后宣布出售计划确实是不明智的。

If America’s announcement was expected, so was the indignant Chinese response. Denunciation and the cancellation of some military-co-operation meetings is in keeping with previous Chinese reactions. A new element this time was the public threat of Chinese sanctions against American firms involved in the Taiwan deal, but most of these have little or no business in China. One big exception is Boeing, which is huge in China. But for that reason it is unlikely that the Chinese will follow up on this particular threat.

如果美国如预期的宣布军售计划，中国也会愤慨的回应。对美国的谴责和军事合作的取消也如中国先前的反应一样。这次一个新戏码是中国会制裁那些涉及到此次军售的军火公司，但是这些公司大多数与中国仅有少量或完全没有关系，除了波音公司，它在中国有巨大的销售额。但也正如这个原因，中国不会实施这个特别的制裁。

If the Taiwan weapons spat blows over, American officials will hail what they nowadays call the more “mature” relationship they have nurtured with China during Mr Obama’s first year. But many tests lie ahead. Some are mainly symbolic, such as a forthcoming meeting between Mr Obama and Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, which the Americans postponed last year to prevent it souring the president’s China trip. Others are more concrete, such as China’s reluctance to go along with new sanctions on Iran or to respond to America’s pleas to revalue the yuan. A world-shaking falling-out between China and America is always possible. But the falling-out over the Taiwan arms package is probably not it.

如果对台湾军售的争执能平稳度过，美国官方会称赞他们今天成为更“成熟”的在欧巴马总统第一年任期内培养出与中国的关系。但是还有很多考验摆在眼前。一些是象征性的问题，比如欧巴马总统将与西藏的精神领袖达赖喇嘛会面，此次见面是美国为了防止欧巴马访华变味而推迟到今年的。其他的问题则更加有实质性，比如中国不情愿对伊朗实施制裁和回应对美国要求人民币升值的要求。世界会因为中美关系可能的失和而颤抖，但是两国因为台湾军售而失和则几无可能。

Will TV be 'Lost' without Matthew Fox? Actor says he's leaving the small screen after series ends

Matthew Fox将在lost结束后离开电视荧幕？

Matthew Fox in June 2009 at a 'Lost' photo call. The actor says he's leaving TV after the series ends this season.

After "Lost" goes off the air, so will Matthew Fox . . . for good.

"I won't be doing any more television," the 43-year-old actor told UsMagazine.com.

The father of two has been on major TV shows for the last 12 years.

在lost走到尽头的时候， Matthew Fox也会这么做。“我将不会参演任何电视剧集”这位43岁的男演员告诉UsMagazine.com。这个两个孩子的父亲在过去12年主要在参演电视剧。

He spent six years on the drama "Party of Five," playing the older brother, and then joined the cast of "Lost" as Dr. Jack Shepard in 2004.

他有六年的时光花费在剧集Party of Five上出演了长兄，然后于2004年加入了lost饰演Jack SHepard医生。

"I've done . . . about 300 hours of television," he told Usmagazine.com at the season premiere event on Waikiki Beachin Hawaii last weekend. "I'm done with that."
“我已经演了300小时的剧集了，”他在lost第六季在夏威夷Waikiki海滩上举行的的首映中告诉UsMagazine.com“我已经厌倦了。”
The series premiere airs tonight on ABC and fans will finally get some answers to the perplexing situation of the Oceanic flight survivors.

本季今晚在ABC上首映，粉丝们会得到这些大洋航空815航班幸存者的最终命运的答案。

"I'm either going to make movies with filmmakers I want to work with or I'll be doing something else entirely," he said.

“我会轻易参演一些电影或者做点别的什么事。”他说

But first things first: The star said he and his family will be moving back to Oregon after the stint in Hawaii, where "Lost" was filmed.

但有一件事的排在第一位的：这位明星说他会和他的家人在夏威夷拍摄地的工作之后一起回到俄勒冈州。

"Being in Hawaii and working here has been an incredible, fantastic experience. Hawaii and 'Lost' has been a great thing for me," he said.

“来到夏威夷和工作在这里是难以置信的，梦幻的经验，夏威夷和lost对我来说是很重要的事。”他说

White House spokesman says Obama will meet with Dalai Lama

White House spokesman says Obama will meet with Dalai Lama

白宫发言人说奥巴马会与达赖会面

February 2, 2010 2:32 p.m. EST

The Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader, attends a special prayer session at the Mahabodhi Temple in India on January 10.

Beijing, China (CNN) -- President Obama intends to meet the Dalai Lama even though China has warned that such a meeting would harm bilateral ties, a White House spokesman said Tuesday.

奥巴马总统将会见达赖喇嘛，不顾之前中国警告说这样的会面会损害双边关系。白宫发言人在周二表示。

"The president told China's leaders during his trip last year that he would meet with the Dalai Lama, and he intends to do so," Bill Burton told reporters covering Obama's planned town hall meeting in New Hampshire later Tuesday.

“总统在去年到中国的访问中就说过他会与达赖喇嘛会面，而他现在就打算这么做。” Bill Burton周二晚些时候在New Hampshire告诉了记者们奥巴马总统的计划。

No date for Obama's meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader has been announced. The Dalai Lama has speaking engagements scheduled in the United States in late February and in May.

发言人并没有透露奥巴马总统与这位西藏精神领袖的会面日期。达赖喇嘛已经约定在二月底和三月访美。

Earlier Tuesday, China warned that ties between two of the world's superpowers would be strained if Obama met with the Dalai Lama.

周二早些时候，中国警告说如果奥巴马与达赖喇嘛会面，就会损害两个超级大国之间的关系。

"It will seriously undermine the foundation of Sino-U.S. political relations," said Zhu Weiqun, a Communist Party official who is in charge of talks with representatives of the Dalai Lama. "We will take corresponding action to make relevant countries see their mistakes."

“这将会严重的动摇中美政治关系的根基，” 中共负责与达赖代表对话的官员朱维群说：“我们会采取相应的动作让相关国家看到他们做错了。”

Zhu issued his warning during a news conference to discuss the lack of progress made during five days of talks between China and the Dalai Lama's representatives.

朱在一次记者招待会上发表了他的警告，此次招待会是为了讨论中国与达赖代表之间五天毫无进展的对话。

Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama of advocating for Tibetan independence from China.

北京指责达赖喇嘛要谋求西藏独立。

"The two sides had sharply divided views," Zhu said. "We have been accustomed to such clash of viewpoints. It's been the norm rather than the exception."

“双方的观点完全不同，”朱维群说：“我们已经对如此对立的观点习以为常了。”

In explaining Obama's intention to hold the meeting, Burton said the Dalai Lama "is an internationally respected religious and cultural leader, and the president will meet with him in that capacity.

在解释奥巴马与达赖会面的意图时，Burton说达赖是一位广受国际尊重的宗教与反对派领袖，而总统与他会面是总统的权利。

"As the president has expressed, we expect that our relationship with China is mature enough where we can work out issues of mutual concerns -- such as climate, the global economy and nonproliferation -- and discuss frankly and candidly those issues where we disagree," Burton said. "The president is committed to building a positive, comprehensive and cooperative relationship with China."

“正如总统所说的，我们期望我们与中国的关系已经成熟到足以共同解决诸如气候变暖、国际经济和防核武器扩散的问题，而且是要开诚布公的讨论我们意见相左的议题，” Burton说到“总统许诺要与中国建立一个积极的、全面的、合作的关系。”

Tibet is technically autonomous from the central Chinese government, but the Dalai Lama and others have said they favor genuine autonomy and resent the slow erosion of their culture amid an influx of Han Chinese, the most numerous ethnic group in China.

虽然西藏在名义上是自治的，但是达赖和其他人说他们想要真正的自治而且憎恨汉族这一中国人口最多的民族对西藏文化的侵蚀

Zhu said there would be no compromise on China's control of Tibet.

Representatives from the two sides have met eight other times, but have reached no consensus on the issue of autonomy.

朱维群说中国对西藏主权的控制是不会妥协的。双方的代表已经会面了八次，不过并没有就自治的议题达成任何共识。

The Dalai Lama fled China in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. He lives in exile in the north Indian hill town of Dharamsala.

Burton said the United States "considers Tibet to be a part of China, and we have human rights concerns about the treatment of Tibetans."

"We urge the government of China to protect the unique cultural and religious traditions of Tibet," he said.

达赖在1959年反抗中国管制失败之后逃离了中国。他住在印度北面的城市达兰萨拉。Burton说美国“认为西藏是中国的一部分，而我们在关注西藏在人权上的遭遇。”

他还说：“我们力促中国政府保全西藏独特的文化与宗教传统。”

Network Attacks on Facebook, Twitter Tripled in 2009

Network Attacks on Facebook, Twitter Tripled in 2009

针对web2.0社交网站的网络攻击在2009增加了3倍

By Joan Goodchild, CSO

As more organizations allow employees to use social media like Facebook and Twitter at work, cybercrime attacks on these networks have exploded, according to a report released Monday by IT security firm Sophos. Reports of malware and spam rose 70 percent on social networks in the last 12 months, the security survey reveals.

随着越来越多的组织允许员工在工作时使用像Facebook和Twitter这样的社交网站，针对这几个网站的网络犯罪呈爆炸性的增长，根据周一IT安全公司Sophos的报告，在过去的十二个月中，恶意软件和垃圾信息增长了70%。

Sophos' investigation, titled "Social Security," finds 57 percent of users report they have been spammed via social networking sites, and 36 percent reveal they have been sent malware via social networking sites. The "Social Security" survey is part of Sophos' 2010 Security Threat Report, which looks at current and emerging computer security trends.

Sophos题为“社交安全”的调查中揭示了有57%的用户在社交网站上收到过垃圾信息，还有36%的人收到过恶意软件。这份“社交安全”点差是Sophos公司2010的网络安全报告的一部分，这份报告旨在观察现在的和新兴的电脑安全趋势。

"Computer users are spending more time on social networks, sharing sensitive and valuable personal information, and hackers have sniffed out where the money is to be made," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. "The dramatic rise in attacks in the last year tells us that social networks and their millions of users have to do more to protect themselves from organized cybercrime, or risk falling prey to identity theft schemes, scams, and malware attacks."

“电脑用户们在社交网络上分享敏感以及有价值的个人信息花费了越来越多的时间，而黑客在寻找哪里能够赚钱，” Sophos的资深技术顾问Graham Cluley说到：“这种令人吃惊的网络攻击增长告诉我们社交网站和它们数以百万计的用户亟需增强防范有组织的网络犯罪活动与他们的个人信息被窃取、诈骗或恶意软件攻击。”

While most of the 500 firms Sophos polled, 72 percent, were worried workers behavior on social networks is putting their business at risk, almost half of them, 49 percent, allow all of their staff unfettered access to Facebook and other social networking sites. (See also:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn: Security Pros Warm to Web 2.0 Access)

根据对500强的调查，有72%的公司担心员工在社交网络上的行为可能让它们的商业利益受到损害，而几乎有一半的企业（49%）允许他们职员自由的接入Facebook与其他社交网络。

"The grim irony is that just as companies are loosening their attitude to staff activity on social networks, the threat of malware, spam, phishing and identity theft on Facebook is increasing," said Cluley.

“恰恰是对雇员在社交网络上持开放的态度导致了Facebook上恶意软件、垃圾信息和个人信息窃取的增加无情的讽刺了这些公司。” Cluley如是说。

Survey respondents were also asked which social network they believed posed the biggest security risk and 60 percent said Facebook.

对调查对象的问题之中有一个是哪一个网站引起了最大的安全威胁，有60%的人选择了Facebook。

"We shouldn't forget that Facebook is by far the largest social network - and you'll find more bad apples in the biggest orchard," explained Cluley. "The truth is that the security team at Facebook works hard to counter threats on their site - it's just that policing 350 million users can't be an easy job for anyone. But there is no doubt that simple changes could make Facebook users safer. For instance, when Facebook rolled-out its new recommended privacy settings late last year, it was a backwards step, encouraging many users to share their information with everybody on the internet."

“我们不应该忘记Facebook是目前最大的社交网络——而林子大了就会什么鸟都有” Cluley解释道：“事实是Facebook的安全队伍在努力解决他们站点上的安全问题——不过监管3亿5千万用户对谁都非一件易事。但是几个简单的改变会毫无疑问的使Facebook的用户变得安全。例如去年Facebook推荐的新个人设置，而这是一种倒退，因为它鼓励很多用户与互联网上的每个人分享他们自己的信息。”

The report also points out the inherent security problems presented by LinkedIn, which is a social network targeted to working people that allows them to network and job seek, among other things. Although LinkedIn is considered to be by far the least threatening of the networks, Sophos advises that it can still provide a sizeable pool of information for hackers.

报告同样指出了LinkedIn呈现的内在问题：这个社交网络的目标客户是工作的人群以允许他们加入社区和寻找工作。尽管LinkedIn是被认为目前危险最小的网站，但Sophos报告这个网站仍然能提供给黑客们很多的信息。

"Targeted attacks against companies are in the news at the moment, and the more information a criminal can get about your organization's structure, the easier for them to send a poisoned attachment to precisely the person whose computer they want to break into," explained Cluley. "Sites like LinkedIn provide hackers with what is effectively a corporate directory, listing your staff's names and positions. This makes it child's play to reverse-engineer the email addresses of potential victims."

Cluley进一步解释到：“针对公司的网络袭击此时已经出现在新闻中了，而对你公司结构了解的信息越多，黑客想要给他们目标电脑发送有害附件的难度就越小。像LinkedIn这种站点给了黑客有效的组织人员名单，上面列着你们的员工姓名和职位。这使得他们想要反向解析潜在受害者的电子邮件地址就像孩子游戏一般。”

Biggest Haul at Grammys Goes to Beyoncé

Biggest Haul at Grammys Goes to Beyoncé

Beyoncé成为格莱美最大赢家

LOS ANGELES — Affirming her role as one of the reigning queens of pop music, Beyoncé was the top winner at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, taking six prizes, including song of the year for her inescapable hit “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

Beyoncé正在进一步巩固她流行天后的地位，她赢得了六个奖项，是周六晚上第五十二届格莱美奖的大赢家，当然这其中当然包括了她Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)这首歌获得年度最佳歌曲奖。

But she shared the spotlight with Taylor Swift, the poised 20-year-old country-pop singer, who was crowned a new superstar with four wins, including the top prize, album of the year, for “Fearless.”

但是她是与Taylor Swift一同分享场上的聚光的，这位20岁的乡村歌手。而Taylor也被四项奖项而加冕超级明星，包括了最具分量的奖项————“Fearless”赢得的年度最佳专辑。

“This is the story we’re going to be telling over and over again — in 2010, we got to win album of the year at the Grammys,” she said while accepting the award.

“这是一个我们会不断传诵的故事——在2010，我们赢得了格莱美的年度最佳专辑。”当她在发表获奖感言时这样说。

After a punishing decade for the music industry, the voters of the Recording Academy, the organization that bestows the awards, reversed its recent trend of showering acclaim on modest sellers, sticking instead to the biggest names in entertainment. Right behind Beyoncé, with three awards each, were the Black Eyed Peas, a powerhouse of radio-friendly hip-hop, and the alternative rock band the Kings of Leon.

在谴责了数十年音乐工业之后，那些授予这些奖项的投票者，对他们给予销量平平的专辑喝彩的做法发生了180度的转变，开始关注那些娱乐界的大人物了。就在Beyoncé之后，赢得三个奖项的，正是超人气嘻哈组合Black Eyed Peas和另类摇滚乐队Kings of Leon。

Kings of Leon won record of the year for the boogieing blues-rock song “Use Somebody.” (The record category is for performers; song of the year recognizes songwriters.) Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” also took best R&B song and best female R&B performance, and her “Halo” won best female pop vocal performance.

Kings of Leon通过布鲁斯摇滚歌曲“Use Somebody.”赢得了年度制作的奖项。Beyoncé的“Single Ladies”也获得了最佳R&B歌曲和最佳R&B女歌手的奖项，而她的歌曲“Halo” 赢得了最佳流行女歌手的奖项。

The Black Eyed Peas won for best pop vocal album (“The E.N.D.”) and best pop performance by a duo or group, and the R&B singer Maxwell won best male R&B performance and best R&B album (for “BLACKsummers’ Night”). The Zac Brown Band, a country-rock group from Atlanta, won best new artist, though since 2004 it has released three albums. The ceremony, packed with splashy performances, celebrated the power of pop celebrity in an age when the foundations of the recording industry are being shaken, and it linked older, established stars with their younger progeny, whose record sales may not be as great but are reaching for the same level of fame.

Black Eyed Peas 赢得了最佳流行专辑(“The E.N.D.”)和最佳Pop乐队/组合，而R&B歌手Maxwell获得了最佳R&B男歌手和最佳R&B专辑(“BLACKsummers’ Night”)。Zac Brown Band这个来自亚特兰大的乡村摇滚团体摘取了最佳新人/团体的奖项，尽管他们在2004以来已经发售了3张专辑。这个充满了吸引眼球的表演的盛典是在唱片工业根基已经动摇的时候来庆祝流行乐的力量，它同时也把成名已久的巨星和刚刚出道的新人们星联系在一起，尽管新人的唱片销量远没达到他们名气的水准。

Lady Gaga opened the show, held at the Staples Center, in a duet with Elton John, both singers covered in soot as they faced each other for a medley of Lady Gaga’s “Speechless” and Mr. John’s “Your Song.” It was a typically meta statement by Lady Gaga about her travails through the machinery of “the fame factory,” as the stage set proclaimed. “How wonderful life is with Gaga in the world,” Mr. John sang.

在斯台普斯中心，Lady Gaga同Elton John一起进行了开场表演，他们一起在烟雾中面对面的演唱了Lady Gaga的 “Speechless”和Elton John的“Your Song.”的混合歌曲。而这正是典型的Gaga在台上宣称的经过“名气工厂”机器的痛苦过程。“与Gaga同处在一片蓝天下是多么美好啊。”John唱到。

Their performance also hinted at the prominence of powerful female pop stars, and ones who are particularly young for a ceremony that often favors established, midcareer artists. There is Ms. Swift and then there’s Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta. She is only 23 and has rocketed to pop fame in less than two years (though she ended up with only two awards). Beyoncé, a seasoned veteran — her wins this year brought her Grammy total to 16, along with her awards with Destiny’s Child — is 28. (Ms. Swift had a cross-generational superstar moment of her own, dressed in virginal white while singingFleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” and her own “You Belong With Me” with Stevie Nicks, whose dress was black as a black cat.)

他们的这段表演也暗示了这位年轻女星的如日中天的名望，这位非同一般年轻的歌手取代了那些成名已久处于职业生涯中期艺人的位置。前有Swift小姐后有真名是Stefani Germanotta的Lady Gaga。Gaga仅仅23岁而她已经如火箭般的速度在两年之内窜升至了名望的顶峰（尽管她最后只得到两个奖）。Beyoncé这位在今年之后连同她在迪斯尼的阶段，把自己的格莱美奖杯数增加到了16座的早已成名的艺人，也只有28岁。

For Ms. Swift, the Grammys capped a remarkable year. Her album “Fearless” (Big Machine) was the biggest seller of 2009, and she has taken trophies at almost every other big awards show, including the MTV Video Music Awards and the Country Music Association Awards. When “Fearless” took the Grammy for best country album, she gushed, “I feel like I’m standing here accepting the impossible dream.”

对于Swift小姐，格莱美完成了她值得纪念的一年。她的专辑“Fearless”是2009销量最大的专辑，而且她在各种奖项中拿奖拿到手软，其中包括了MTV的音乐录影带奖和乡村音乐协会奖。最终，当“Fearless”取得了格莱美年度最佳专辑的奖项之后，她的情感难以抑制：“我感到自己好像是站在这里完成一个不可能的梦想。”

The Grammys are voted on by about 12,000 members of the Recording Academy, who must have credits on at least six commercially released tracks to qualify. To avoid competition with the 2010 Winter Olympics, which begin on Feb. 12 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the awards are being held earlier in the year than they ever have been before, and as a result the window of eligibility for nominations had to be adjusted to 11 months, from Oct. 1, 2008, to Aug. 31, 2009.

格莱美是被12000名出过6张以上商业专辑的唱片学会的成员投票决定的。为了避开在英属哥伦比亚省温哥华市举办的2010冬奥会，这个奖项举行的比以前的任何一次都要早。因此造成了提名只能在2008年10月至2009年8月这11个月之间选择。

That change disqualified a number of major albums released in September, including releases by Jay-Z, Barbra Streisand, Miranda Lambert and Mariah Carey. But that did not prevent Jay-Z from taking three for singles, including best rap song and best rap/sung collaboration for “Run This Town,” and best rap solo performance for “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune).”

这个改变是众多在9月发布的专辑不能被提名，而这包括了 Jay-Z, Barbra Streisand, Miranda Lambert和Mariah Carey一票大牌的专辑。不过这并没有阻碍Jay-Z拿到了3个单项奖：最佳饶舌歌手，最佳饶舌合作“Run This Town”和最佳饶舌单曲 “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune).”

For all the power of youth, the Grammys still gave pride of place to older legends. A 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson featured Smokey Robinson, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood singing along with Jackson’s recorded voice in the ecological hymn “Earth Song.” Jackson’s two oldest children, Prince and Paris, accepted their father’s lifetime achievement award. “In all his songs, the message was simple: love,” Prince said, haltingly. “We will continue to spread his message and help the world. Thank you.”

虽然年轻势力很威猛，不过格莱美依然给了传奇们骄傲。由Smokey Robinson, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson和Carrie Underwood与Michael Jackson一同演唱的3D版“Earth Song”来纪念MJ。Jackson最大的两个孩子Prince和Paris代表他们的爸爸接受了终身成就奖。“在他所有的歌之中，他所传达的信息很简单：爱。”Prince哽咽的说到“我们会继续传达这个信息还会帮助世界。谢谢大家。”

The memory of Jackson, who died in June, hung over the ceremony as one of its most beloved recipients and as a symbol of lost megacelebrity. He was the best-selling artist of 2009 by a wide margin; his 1982 album, “Thriller,” stands as one of the most popular recordings ever made; and in 1984 he won eight Grammys.

对于6月去世的Jackson的纪念贯穿整场盛典，他是最为人所爱戴的接受者和巨星陨落的标志。他曾是2009唱片被广泛热卖的艺术家；他1982年的唱片“Thriller”是有史以来最受欢迎的唱片之一；他在1984年赢得了8座格莱美。

Other eye-catching performances included Pink singing “Glitter in the Air” suspended acrobatically from a snow-white swatch of silk, dripping what looked like sparkling water over the Staples Center’s orchestra seats. Beyoncé sang a medley of her song “If I Were a Boy” and Alanis Morissette’s girl-power anthem “You Oughta Know,” which won two Grammys in 1996.

另一个吸引眼球的节目来自Pink演唱的“Glitter in the Air”，她是在雪白的丝带之上如悬浮杂技般完成的（译者注：貌似在VMA上就表演过了），她从斯台普斯中心的管弦乐座席上掠过的时候就像发光的水一样流下。Beyoncé用她的 “If I Were a Boy”和Alanis Morissette在1996年赢得两项格莱美的圣歌“You Oughta Know”一起演唱了一曲。

Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli sang Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” with proceeds from a future iTunes download going to Haiti relief efforts. Bon Jovi, in this year’s Grammy Internet experiment, played a medley that included “Living on a Prayer” by fans’ online requests.

Mary J. Blige和Andrea Bocelli演唱了Simon和Garfunkel的 “Bridge Over Troubled Water,”这首歌是为了通过在iTunes上下载给海地捐助。Bon Jovi在今年格莱美的互联网实验中，在网上粉丝的要求下，表演了包括“Living on a Prayer”在内的一组混合曲目。

Lifetime achievement awards were also given to Leonard Cohen, André Previn, Loretta Lynn, the 89-year-old jazz trumpeter Clark Terry, the 94-year-old blues guitarist David (Honeyboy) Edwards and Bobby Darin (who died in 1973).

终身成就奖同样授予了Leonard Cohen, André Previn, Loretta Lynn,89岁的爵士小号手Clark Terry,94岁的布鲁斯吉他手David (Honeyboy) Edwards和Bobby Darin (在1973年去世)。

Of the 109 award categories this year, 100 were given out in a brisk and far less glamorous pretelecast ceremony. Many winners — including Lady Gaga, who won two early prizes — did not appear, but one who did was Neil Young, who won his first-ever Grammy. Along with Gary Burden and Jenice Heo, Mr. Young, under the title of art director, won best boxed set or special limited edition package, for his mammoth “Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)” project. (He was held off from winning a Grammy that recognized his music; Bruce Springsteen’s “Working on a Dream” beat Mr. Young’s “Fork in the Road” for best solo rock vocal performance.)

今年有109座奖杯搬出，其中100座是在快节奏中颁出的。因此包括赢得两座奖杯的Gaga在内许多得到奖项的歌手并没有登台领奖，但是有一位仅拿了一座奖杯的却上台了，他就是Neil Young，因他的 “Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)”以总监的身份赢得了最佳盒装/限量版包装奖。

Also in the pretelecast ceremony, Alison Krauss won her 27th Grammy as a participant in the album “Yo-Yo Ma & Friends: Songs of Joy and Peace,” tying her with Quincy Jones for the most lifetime wins of any living musician. Phoenix won best alternative album for “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” (Loyaute/Glassnote).

同样也在典礼中，Alison Krauss以她在唱片“Yo-Yo Ma & Friends: Songs of Joy and Peace”合作者的身份赢得了她第27座格莱美，从而打平了Quincy Jones。Phoenix以”Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”赢得了最佳另类专辑奖。

For all its big names and elaborate, Las Vegas-esque productions, the Grammys can also cast a light on the shoestring budgets that most musicians have adapted to. Accepting an award during the pretelecast ceremony for best-spoken-word album for children, Buck Howdy, a singer-songwriter from San Diego, commented that it cost him less to produce his album than it did to pay for valet parking at the Grammy nominees’ dinner.

通过名人出席和精美的制作，这种拉斯维加斯的制作方式，格莱美同样也实现了为大多数音乐家所接受的小成本。从圣地亚哥来的歌手、作曲者Buck Howdy赢得了最佳儿童读物奖项，他说付给男侍者帮他在提名者晚宴上停车的小费比他做张专辑画的还要多。

Haiti detains Americans taking kids across border

Haiti detains Americans taking kids across border

海地对带儿童出国的美国人说不

By FRANK BAJAK

The Associated Press
Sunday, January 31, 2010; 3:12 AM

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- A group of 10 American Baptists were being held in the Haitian capital Sunday after trying take 33 children out of Haiti.

10名美国浸信会教友因试图把33名海地儿童带出海地而在太子港被捕。

The church group, most of them from Idaho, allegedly lacked the proper documents when they were arrested Friday night in a bus along with children from 2 months to 12 years old who had survived the catastrophic earthquake.

这个教会组织的成员大多数来自爱达荷州，他们在周五时在一辆载有从2个月到12岁不等从此次地震中幸存的孩子的巴士上而被捕，有消息说他们被捕的原因是缺少相关许可。

The group say they were setting up an orphanage across the border in the Dominican Republic.

这个团体说他们准备在多米尼加共和国建立一个孤儿院。

"In this chaos the government is in right now we were just trying to do the right thing," the group's spokeswoman, Laura Silsby, told The Associated Press at the judicial police headquarters in the capital, where the Americans were being held pending a Monday hearing before a judge.

“此刻政府正处于一片混乱之中，我们只是尝试去做一些正确的事情。”这个团体的发言人Laura Silsby周一审判之前的时候在海地首都的警察总部对美联社发表了如上言论。

The Baptists' "Haitian Orphan Rescue Mission" was described as an effort to save abandoned, traumatized children.

这个浸信会开展的“海地孤儿拯救行动”旨在救援那些被遗弃的，心理受到创伤的孩子们。

Their plan was to scoop up 100 kids and take them by bus to a 45-room hotel at Cabarete, a beach resort in the Dominican Republic, that they were converting into an orphanage, Silsby told the AP.

Silsby告诉美联社他们的计划是带100名孩子乘巴士到多米尼加的海滨地区Cabarete的一家有45个房间的酒店，而那里将被改造成孤儿院。

Whether they realized it or not, these Americans - the first known to be taken into custody since the Jan. 12 quake - put themselves in the middle of a firestorm in Haiti, where government leaders have suspended adoptions amid fears that parentless or lost children are more vulnerable than ever to child trafficking.

不论这些在一月份就被捕的美国人是否意识到了，他们已经把自己置身在了海地舆论的风口浪尖上，海地的政府领袖还怀疑这种收养的目标是拐卖对父母缺失的恐惧或者是容易被诱惑的孩子。

Silsby said the group, including members from Texas and Kansas, only had the best of intentions and paid no money for the children, whom she said they obtained from well-known Haitian pastor Jean Sanbil of the Sharing Jesus Ministries.

Silsby说他们他们的团体里还包括来自德州和堪萨斯的成员，这些人抱着最热忱的心而且还不求回报，他们从知名的海地牧师Jean Sanbil组织的分享耶稣圣工会而来。

Silsby, 40, of Boise, Idaho, was asked if she didn't consider it naive to cross the border without adoption papers at a time when Haitians are so concerned about child trafficking. "By no means are we any part of that. That's exactly what we are trying to combat," she said.

来自爱达荷州40岁的Silsby当被问到，她是否觉得在海地人如此在乎儿童流失的时候试图没有政府许可就把孩子带出国这个做法太天真时，她说：“我们绝不是拐卖儿童的一部分。恰恰相反，我们正是要同儿童拐卖作斗争。”

She said she hadn't been following news reports while in Haiti.

她说她在海地时并没有被这样的新闻所困扰。

Social Affairs Minister Yves Cristallin told the AP that the Americans were suspected of taking part in an illegal adoption scheme.

社会事务部部长Yves Cristallin告诉美联社这些美国人涉嫌参与非法收养犯罪。

Cristallin said the 33 children were lodged late Saturday at an SOS Children's Village outside of Port-au-Prince. SOS Children's Villages is a global nonprofit based in Austria.

Cristallin说这33名孩子借宿在太子港外的SOS儿童村，这是一个全球的公益性组织，总部在奥地利。

Many children in Haitian orphanages aren't actually orphans but have been abandoned by family who cannot afford to care for them.

在海地，许多在孤儿院的儿童其实并不是儿童，而是被无力抚养他们的家庭所遗弃。

Advocates both here and abroad caution that with so many people unaccounted for, adoptions should not go forward until it can be determined that the children have no relatives who can raise them.

在海地国内外的宣传者都警告说在如此多的人失踪的情况下，收养工作应该等到直到能确定儿童确实是没有抚养人的情况下再做打算。

UNICEF and other NGOs have been registering children who may have been separated from their parents. Relief workers are locating children at camps housing the homeless around the capital and are placing them in temporary shelters while they try to locate their parents or a more permanent home.

联合国儿童基金会和其他的NGO已经开始登记那些与父母分开的儿童。救济工作者正在安置那些海地首都附近无家可归的儿童，而且在找到他们父母或永久住所前先把他们安排到临时避难所里。

The U.S. Embassy in Haiti sent consular officials, who met with the detained Americans and gave them bug spray and field rations, according to Sean Lankford of Meridian, Idaho, whose wife and 18-year-old daughter were being held.

根据来自爱达荷州Meridian的Sean Lankford说，美国驻海地大使排出了官员去与被羁押的美国人会面，还给了他们杀虫剂和野战口粮。他的妻子和18岁的女儿都拘留。

"They have to go in front of a judge on Monday," Lankford told the AP.

“他们将在周一走上法庭。”Lankford告诉美联社说。

"There are allegations of child trafficking and that really couldn't be farther from the truth," he added. The children "were going to get the medical attention they needed. They were going to get the clothes and the food and the love they need to be healthy and to start recovering from the tragedy that just happened."

“他们面临拐卖儿童的指控，而那完全跟事实不符。”Lankford补充到：“孩子们正准备接受他们需要的医疗救治。他们将要得到衣服和食物，还有他们从悲剧中重新站起来所需要的爱。”

Haiti has imposed new controls on adoptions since the earthquake, which left thousands of children parentless or separated from their families. The government now requires Prime Minister Max Bellerive to personally authorize the departure of any child as a way to prevent child trafficking.

海地在震后已经开始了新的收养管理机构，而这留下了成千上万没有父母或与父母分开的儿童。政府现在要求总理Max Bellerive签署的文件儿童方能离开，以防止拐卖儿童。

Silsby said they had documents from the Dominican government, but did not seek any paperwork from the Haitian authorities before taking the children to the border.

Silsby说他们有来自多米尼加共和国的批文，但是并没有任何来自海地政府批准儿童出境的准许。

She said the children were brought to the pastor by distant relatives, and that the only ones to be put up for adoption would be those without close family to care for them.

她说孩子们是要被远亲带到牧师那里，而且那些收养他们的人是没有一个紧密的家庭来关照儿童的。

The 10 Americans include members of the Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho and the East Side Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho.

这十位美国人包括了爱达荷州Meridian的“中央山谷浸信会”和爱达荷州Twin Falls的“东部浸信会”的成员。

Idaho friends and relatives have been in touch with them through text messages and phone calls, Lankford said.

Lankford说爱达荷州的亲朋们已经通过短信和电话联系了他们。

The group had described its plans on a Web site where they also asked for tax-deductible contributions, saying they would "gather" 100 orphans and bus them to Cabarete before building a more permanent orphanage in the Dominican town of Magante.

这个组织已经在一个网站上阐述了他们的计划，同时他们也寻求了免税的资金，说他们会“剧集”一百名孤儿而且会在多米尼加的Magante建造好永久性的孤儿院之前运送他们到Cabarete。

"Given the urgent needs from this earthquake, God has laid upon our hearts the need to go now versus waiting until the permanent facility is built," the group wrote.

“给震后他们所亟需的，主已经让我们的心在现在就出发和等一切都建好了再行动之间选择。”这个组织这样写到。

Famed panda to leave U.S. capital

Famed panda to leave U.S. capital

著名的熊猫离开米帝首都

By Larry Lazo, CNN

January 31, 2010 -- Updated 0036 GMT (0836 HKT)

Washington (CNN) -- It feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. Tai Shan, the giant panda cub so many people have come to know and love, is about to board a flight to China.

时光匆匆如白驹过隙，深为美国人民所知所爱的幼年大熊猫泰山（音），正准备登机回到中国了。

"It's very bittersweet. We love him. We love having him here," said Erika Bauer, curator at the National Zoo in Washington.

“这真是喜忧参半。我们爱他，我们喜欢他在这里。”华盛顿的国家动物园园长Erika Bauer说道。

Tai Shan was born in the nation's capital, so you can confidently call him a Washingtonian. But he is to be sent to China, under an agreement between the two nations, to help replenish the endangered species' numbers in the wild.

泰山出生在这个国家的首都（译者注：原装美国的，可以被参选总统口牙！），所以你可以称他是一个华府人。但是根据中美之间的保护这个珍稀野生物种数量的协议。他将要被送回天朝。

At 4½ years old, Tai Shan is more of a panda adolescent than a cub, but to Tai Shan fans, he will always be their baby.

泰山已经四岁半了，他已经进入了青春期，但是对于泰粉来说，他是他们永远的孩子。

"We watched him as he grew up and it's kind of sad to see him go," said Kathleen Ryland of Highland, Maryland.

来自马里兰州Highland的Kathleen Ryland说“我们看着他长大，对于他的离开我们感到难过。”

Ryland brought her two children to say their goodbyes to Tai Shan at a farewell party at the National Zoo Saturday. Despite the snow falling on the panda exhibit, there were plenty of warm and fuzzy feelings about Tai Shan.

Kathleen Ryland带着她两个孩子去周六国家动物园给泰山开的欢送会去跟熊猫说再见。尽管那天下着雪，但在那里，大家对泰山只有温暖和说不清的感觉。

"He's so cute. I'll miss him," said Claire Ryland, 7.

“他太可爱了，我会想他的。”7岁的小盆友Claire Ryland说。

It's often said that a visit to Washington is not complete without a stop at the zoo to see Tai Shan. Over the years, some have even gone as far to say that Tai Shan was Washington's No. 1 resident -- even getting top billing over the president.

有句话说得好：在特区，不看熊猫非好汉。在这几年里，甚至有人说泰山才是华府的第一居民，总统算个毛。

Tai Shan will leave for China on Thursday via the "FedEx Panda Express." He'll be joined by Mei Lan - a 3-year-old panda born at Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. Eventually, they will take part in a breeding program aimed at increasing the panda population. Giant pandas are currently on the endangered list. The National Zoo estimates that about 1,600 giant pandas are currently in the wild.

泰山会在周四乘坐“联邦熊猫快递”到中国。他会同出生在佐治亚州亚特兰大动物园3岁的美兰（音）一起出发。最后，他们会参加到为熊猫添丁的计划当中。大熊猫物种现在还在濒危动物的名单上。根据国家动物园的估计，世上野生大熊猫应该有1600头。

Bauer says that's all the more reason to say goodbye to Tai Shan.

Bauer说这就是不得不跟泰山说再见的原因。

"It's very important to get Tai Shan into the breeding population to help conserve the species in general. This is a very good day for him," she said.

“泰山能参加到繁衍后代的活动中对熊猫数量增长的非常有帮助的。这是他的好日子。”她说

Home page of www.mancrunch.com, the gay dating site. Their Super Bowl ad was rejected by CBS.
mancrucnch.com这个同性恋交友网站在超级碗投放广告的计划被CBS电视台所拒绝。
CBS has rejected a gay dating site's Super Bowl ad and now Mancrunch.com wants a bite out of the network.
CBS电视台拒绝了这个同性恋交友的网站的超级碗广告，而现在这个网站想要在电视网络之外说服别人。
CNBC.com reporter Darren Rovell tweeted earlier Friday that CBS would not be airing ManCrunch.com's 'Playing for the Same Team' ad during the NFL game next week,FOXNews.com reports.
CNBC的记者Darren Rovell在周五的早些时候发了一条推说福克斯新闻报道说CBS电视台不会在下周的NFl比赛中播放ManCrunch.com的“为同一支队伍比赛”这支广告。
"Mancrunch.com has just received a formal rejection of its ad from CBS," Rovell wrote on Twitter.
“ManCrunch.com已经收到了CBS对他们广告的正式驳回。”Rovell在Twitter上写道。
In the ad two sports fans are watching an NFL game and discover their mutual affection over a bowl of chips. They proceed to make out to the surprise of another sports fan watching nearby.
在广告中，两个体育迷在一起观看NFL的比赛的同时通过一碗薯条发展他们彼此之间的感觉。后来他们进展到亲吻的行为震惊了另一位附近的体育迷。
The official rejection letter from CBS offered a vague explanation for its refusal to run the ad.
CBS官方的驳回函件中对他们拒绝播放此则广告的理由解释的含糊其辞。
“CBS Standards and Practices has reviewed your proposed Super Bowl ad and concluded that the creative is not within the Network’s Broadcast Standards for Super Bowl Sunday,” it stated. “Moreover, our Sales Department has had difficulty verifying your organization’s credit status.”
“CBS的已经审查了你们的超级碗广告是否符合我们的标准，而结论是你们不符合我们电视网对周日超级碗的广告标准。”在驳回的文件中说到“而且我们的销售部很难去认证你们这个组织的信用状况。”
Earlier this week, CBS said it would only allow advocacy ads that were "responsibly produced."
在本周的早些时候，CBS电视台宣称它仅仅接受那些“负责任的产品”的正面广告。
The announcement came after quarterback Tim Tebow's thinly veiled pro-life ad for Focus on the Family, a Christian group, was given a Super Bowl spot.
这责声明是在四分卫Tim Tebow的反堕胎广告之后发出的，而这个广告是"关注家庭"这个基督教团体所投放的，这个团体也给了超级碗赞助。
ManCrunch.com cited Tebow's ad as a good example for why they should not have been denied air time.
ManCrunch.com引用了Tebow的广告说这正好证明了他们的广告不应被逐出直播时段。
“We are very disappointed that in 2010 such discrimination is happening especially given the fact that Focus on the Family is allowed to promote their way of life during the Super Bowl,” a rep for the site told FOXNews.com.
“我们对2010年发生如此的歧视事件而而感到失望，尤其是像基督教团体都允许被在超级碗期间投放传播他们价值观的广告。”一位发言人对福克斯新闻说。
ManCrunch.com says it's asking same-sex advocacy groups to petition CBS to protest the decision.
ManCrunch.com说他们正在请一个同性支持组织来起诉CBS从而赢得法院判决。
They will join women's groups who are currently fighting against the airing of Tebow's "advocacy ad," which the groups say is inappropriate for Super Sunday.
他们会与女权组织一起来抗争对反堕胎广告播出，而女权组织也认为在超级碗周日播出这个广告是不合适的。
