President Obama has issued a fresh appeal for calm in Ferguson after more than a week of unrest sparked by the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager. Mr. Obama was speaking at a White House news conference.
奥巴马总统对弗格森对警察射杀手无寸铁黑人少年引发持续一周多的暴乱做出新的呼吁。下面是奥巴马总统在白宫新闻发布会上的讲话。
While I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns and even attacking the police only to serve to raise tensions and steer1 chaos2. Let me also be clear that our constitutional rights to speak freely, to assemble and to report in the press must be vigilantly3 safe guarded. There is no excuse for excessive use of force by police or the action denies people’s right to protest peacefully.
我理解迈克尔布朗死亡带给我们的愤怒和冲动，但是把愤怒演变成抢劫，携带枪支，甚至袭警行为只会加剧紧张局势，引发混乱。说的更清楚一点，就是我们有言论自由的法律权利保障，组织和媒体报道必须有安全保障。没有理由被警察使用武力或者行动来组织人民和平抗议的权利。

The World Health Organization has urged countries affected8 by the Ebola outbreak to screen all departing travelers for signs of the disease. It says anyone showing signs of the illness at international airports, seaports9 and major land crossings must be stopped from travelling. The International Air Transport Association's vice10 president for Africa Raphael Kuuchi said some airlines had halted operations to affected countries.
世界卫生组织督促受埃博拉疫情影响国家监察所有即将离开游客身体情况。世界卫生组织表示任何在机场，海港，和主要陆地过境点出现疑似症状必须停止出行。非洲国际航空运输协会副总裁Raphaeal Kuuchi表示受疫情影响，一些飞往疫情国家航班已经取消。
Most passengers would not want to travel to infected countries and therefore traffic volumes would be low. Some of the airlines that have stopped operations are for commercial reasons but there are also others who are actually just taking caution, probably advised by their own ministries11 of health.
大多数乘客都不想去受疫情影响国家出行，所以航班数量也在减少。一些航线因商业原因已经停止，但是还有一些航线也在采取谨慎措施，可能是受当地卫生组织的建议。

教皇弗朗西斯曾表示国际社会将对反对伊拉克伊斯兰激进分子采取合理行动。这一讲话发表在海外旅行回来的航班上。Alan Johnston在罗马报道。
In recent weeks the Pope has expressed his anguish14 at the plights15 of Christians16 and other religious groups in Iraq who have been persecuted17 by the Islamic State fighters. And at this in-flight press conference, he was asked what he thought of the American military action against the militants. He replied that it is legitimate18 to stop an unjustified aggressor but he added that he was stressing the verb 'to stop' and that he wasn't saying bomb or make war. He said that the way to hold the aggression19 must be evaluated.
最近几周，教皇已经表达了他对被伊斯兰武装分子困在山区的基督徒和其他宗教团体成员的关心和痛苦。在这份发表在航班上的讲话中，他被问到怎样看待美国军队对待伊斯兰武装分子的行为。他回答说这是一种合法手段来停止侵略发生，但是，他还说，他强调停止这个词，并不是指爆炸或者战争，他是说必须对停止侵略的方式进行评估。

President Obama says Iraqi and Kurdish forces have made a major step forward by recapturing the strategic Mosul Dam from the Jihadist group Islamic State in northern Iraq. Mr. Obama said that demonstrated that they were capable of working together and will continue to receive strong support from American forces who will conduct more airstrikes on militant positions.

A study suggests that Africa's elephants have declined to a critical point where more are being killed each year than have been born. An international team of researchers from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Animals or CITES says nearly 35,000 elephants have been killed for their ivory each year. And that if the rate of poaching doesn't slow down, the species could be wiped out in the foreseeable future. John Scanlon is the Secretary General of CITES.
一项研究表明非洲象已经被宣布到了一个临界点，每年遭捕杀数量远远超过出生数量。国际濒危动物贸易公约国际小组表示，每年有35000头大象因象牙交易被杀。如果数量持续上升的话，非洲象可能会在不久的将来灭绝。John Scanlon是国际濒危动物毛细员工约协会秘书长。
The primary risk really is in the central African states. They have seen a significant decline over the past ten years, extremely high levels of poaching for the illegal ivory trade and this is a region that is under severe threat and we could see extinctions there within the matter of decades.
象群数量下降最严重地区是在非洲中部国家，在过去的十年里象群数量急剧下降，非法象牙贸易在该地区发展猖獗，该地区象群数量受到严重威胁，我们可能在近几十年里就会看到灭绝现象发生。
