Latest figures in the United States show many more jobs were created last month than forecast 170,000 although the unemployment rate was marginally higher. Both the Obama and Romney presidential campaign seized on the numbers as they campaigned hard in the swing states. Mark Mardell reports from Ohio.
美国最新数据显示，尽管失业率仍然略高，但上月创造的新就业岗位超过了之前预测的17万个。在摇摆州激烈竞争的奥巴马和罗姆尼不失时机地利用这些数据大做文章。Mark Mardell在俄亥俄报道。
It's just four more days until the election from the Ohio crowd shouted out the support to a newly energized1 president. He said he wouldn't rest until every American who wanted a job had one, and that today's better than expected figures, 171,000 new jobs created in October was the most for eight months. But Mitt2 Romney in Wisconsin, one another swing states said the slight rise in unemployment to 7.9% show the economy had stagnated3 . He would put America on a better course. The figures themselves are unsurprising, but in a race this tight, anything that could sway , just a few votes may really matter.
离大选还有四天时间，此时在俄亥俄，人们高呼支持这位充满活力的总统。奥巴马说除非每位需要工作的美国人都得到工作，否则自己不会休息的，他说如今的情况比此前预测的数据要好，10月份创造了17.1万个新岗位，这是8个月来的最高数据。但在另一个摇摆州威斯康星，罗姆尼说失业率略微上涨到7.9%，这表明经济已经停滞，称自己可以使美国回到正轨上。这些数据本身没什么特别的，但在如今势均力敌的局势下，只要能多争取几个选票意义就很不一样。

The church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem has warned it may shut its doors to pilgrims because of a row over an unpaid15 water bill of more than $2m. Many Christians16 believe the Church to be the place where Jesus was crucified and buried. Rond Ferurt has this report.
耶路撒冷的圣墓教堂警告说，由于因一笔超过2百万的水费单引起的争执，将向朝拜者关闭大门。许多基督徒认为该教堂就是耶稣被迫害和埋葬的地方。Rond Ferurt报道。
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre has traditionally being exempt17 from paying for water, but the company has in recent years begun demanding that its bill be settled. Church officials say they thought they'd clinched18 a deal with the water firm, allowing them to start paying for future supplies, but writing off the multi-million dollar debts. With the banking19 account frozen, hundreds of priests, monks20 and teachers are going without pay. The church, the Holy Sepulchre now says that it may briefly21 close its door as a mark of the protest. Hundreds of thousands of Christians visit the church each year. It's being a place of pilgrimage since the 4th century.
根据传统，圣墓教堂一直免于交水费，但供水公司近年来要求付水费。教堂官员称他们以为已经和供水公司达成协议，允许他们为以后的水费买单，但勾销掉之前的数百万美元的账单。由于银行账户遭到冻结，数百位牧师、修道士和教士得不到报酬。圣墓教堂如今称将关门一小段时间以示抗议。这座教堂每年有数万基督徒来访，自4世纪以来一直是朝圣之地。
