Police said they’d been kept bound and ropes and chains had been found in the house. Two of the women, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, have returned to home to rapturous welcomes.

“The last thing the family is asking is that we as a community do not go retaliate1 against the family or the suspects of this crime. We are asking that, as they have been doing their job, it not might be today when we want it, it might not be tomorrow, but they will get the job done. We need to let them do their job.”
“这家人要求的最后一件事是，要这个社区不要向这家人或嫌犯报复。我们问的时候，他们说可能今天无法完成，可能要明天，但现在已经搞定了。我们得让他们把工作搞定。”

Lawyers for the victims of the cholera3 epidemic4 in Haiti have given the United Nations a 60-day deadline to open talks about billions of dollars of compensation or face legal action. The families of the 8,000 people killed by the epidemic and the hundreds of thousands of people infected accused the UN of negligently5 allowing peacekeeping soldiers to pollute Haiti’s water supply. Mark Doyle reports.
海地霍乱蔓延受害者的律师们给联合国60天的最后期限，来商讨有关数十亿美元赔偿金的谈判，否则将诉诸法律。这场霍乱导致8000人丧生，成千上万人感染，受害者家属指责联合国疏忽大意，让维和士兵污染了海地的水供应。马克·多伊尔报道。
The cholera epidemic began in Haiti near a camp for UN soldiers where there were leaking sewage pipes. Some human waste was also dumped outside the camp near a river. One of the UN’s own experts on cholera, Daniele Lantagne, told the BBC it was most likely the disease originated in the UN camp. It housed UN soldiers from Nepal where cholera is endemic. The UN rejected an earlier call for compensation in this unprecedented6 case against the world body saying it was immune from such claims.
海地这场霍乱开始在联合国士兵营地附近，那里出现污水管泄露现象。有的人粪便也倒在河边的营地外，联合国霍乱专家Daniele Lantagne告诉BBC，这场疾病很可能源自联合国营地。那里住着来自霍乱蔓延地尼泊尔的联合国士兵。早些时候，有人呼吁对联合国该机构就这件史无前例的案子进行赔偿，联合国否认该指控，称与指控无关。
An appeal court in Italy has upheld the conviction of the former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for tax evasion7. Mr Berlusconi’s been convicted of artificially inflating8 prices of film distribution rights to avoid taxes. Here is Alan Johnston.
意大利上诉法院支持对意大利前总理西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼逃税罪的判定。贝卢斯科尼被控故意抬高电影发行权价格以逃税。艾伦·约翰斯顿报道。
A lower court found Mr Berlusconi guilty of fraud and sentenced him to a year behind bars. He appealed but this has been thrown out. In fact the higher court has said he should spend four years in jail. There is, however, no real prospect9 of this actually happening. Mr Berlusconi is sure to exercise his right to appeal one more time and the case will soon expire under a legal time limit.
低级法院发现贝卢斯科尼犯有欺诈罪，并判他一年监禁。他对此上诉，却遭拒绝。事实上，高级法院称应判他4年监禁。然而这是不可能发生的，贝卢斯科尼肯定会实施自己的权利再次上诉，这起案子将很快到达法定时限。

The long-serving manager of the English football club Everton David Moyes is said to be appointed to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United. The BBC understands that an announcement could be made on Thursday. Sir Alex announced his retirement20 at the end of this season, one that’s seen the English Premier21 League club win its 13th league title under his leadership. David Bond reports.
据悉，长期担任英国足球俱乐部经理的埃弗顿·大卫·莫耶斯已被任命接替曼联主帅弗格森的职位。BBC了解到周四将发布声明，亚历克斯爵士在赛季结束时宣布退休，他见证了英超俱乐部在自己领导人获得第13个联赛冠军。庞大卫报道。
At the age of 71, Sir Alex’s retirement has been the big cloud hanging over Old Trafford. Despite that, the Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said his departure would not be the end of the story.
今年71岁的亚历克斯爵士辞职一事成了笼罩在老特拉福德球场上空的乌云。尽管如此，英超总裁史古达摩亚称自己的离去并不意味着一切的结束。
“It’s a fantastic job whoever takes on the facilities, the training facilities, you know, the established, you know, fan base around the world. It’s just the most fantastic job for somebody.”
“不管谁掌管这些培训设施，这都是个很棒的工作，要知道，我们在全世界都建立了粉丝基地。这对任何人来说都是很棒的工作。”
That someone looks like being Everton’s David Moyes, highly regarded but unproven at the very top. Sir Alex has played a central part in the selection of his successor. That won’t make it any easier to build on the legacy22 of the greatest manager the English game has ever seen.
这样的人就像埃弗顿的莫业斯，很被推崇却未到顶端。亚历克斯爵士在选择继任者上扮演了核心角色，在英国足球最棒经理人留下的遗产基础上再创辉煌，倒不是什么容易的事。
