Cypriots reacted with anger to news that a ten-billion-euro bailout package agreed in Brussels will force bank depositors to help foot the bill. People queued to withdraw money from cash machines and from the only bank open during the day which reacted by closing its branches. Andrew Walker reports.
根据布鲁塞尔达成的100亿欧元的援助方案迫使塞浦路斯银行储户来买这个单，塞浦路斯人对此非常愤怒。人们在唯一营业的银行的取款机前排队等着取钱，这家银行以关闭分行作为应对方案。安德鲁·沃克报道。
Bank customers have been taken out what money they can but it’s unlikely they will be able to get round the levy1 while the bailout was announced in Brussels the Cypriot government was already taking steps to ensure that it would be able to collect the money. The country’s finance minister described the levy as the least worst option. President Nicos Anastasiades plans to address the nation on television tomorrow. One reason for introducing the levy is to reduce the amount of new debt the Cypriot government has to take on under the bailout but there is also a political element, a lot of the money in those bank accounts belongs to wealthy foreigners.
银行储户尽可能地把钱都取出来，但不大可能躲得了征税，就在布鲁塞宣布援助方案之时，塞浦路斯政府已采取措施确保能征集到资金。该国财长称征税是最不坏的选择，总统尼科斯·阿纳斯塔夏季斯明天将对全国发表电视讲话。采取征税措施的一个原因，是减少塞浦路斯政府在援助方案下的新债务，但其中也有政治因素，该银行的很多资金都属于富有的外国人。
Pope Francis has said the Catholic Church had remembered that it’s there to serve the poor. In what’s been seen as his clearest indication that he wants a more austere2 church, the newly elected pontiff said he would like the church itself to be poor. The Pope told hundreds of journalists why he’d chosen to name himself after St. Francis of Assisi.
弗朗西斯教皇称天主教堂明白其服务穷人的宗旨，新当选教皇说他希望教堂本身就保持贫穷，这被视为他希望教堂更简朴的最明确表示。教皇告诉数百位记者自己为何以亚西西的圣方济为名。
“During the election I was sitting next to the Emeritus3 Archbishop of Sao Paolo Cardinal4 Claudio Hummes. And when things were becoming dangerous, he was comforting me. And when the number of votes reached 2/3 he hugged me and kissed me and said ‘don’t forget the poor.’ And that word just stuck with me. The poor, the poor, I immediately thought of Francis of Assisi.”
“选举时我坐在巴西的圣保罗红衣主教克劳迪奥·乌梅斯总主教身边，当情况变得不妙时，他会安慰我。当支持率达到2/3时，他拥抱了我亲吻了我，他说‘不要忘记穷人。’这句话打动了我，穷人、穷人，我立即想到了亚西西的圣方济。”
