Tens of thousands of Egyptian anti-government protesters are continuing to occupy Tahrir Square in central Cairo, despite the first substantive talks between the authorities and the opposition. In the negotiations, the Vice President Omar Suleiman offered to set up committees to review and amend the constitution, but opposition figures, instead, proposed immediate confidence-building measures, including a lifting of the national state of emergency. Most of the protesters maintain they won't settle for anything less than the removal of President Hosni Mubarak.

埃及数万名反政府抗议者继续占领开罗中部的解放广场(Tahrir Square)，尽管当局和反对派之间已经展开了实质性的对话。在谈判中，副总统苏莱曼(Omar Suleiman)提出成立委员会，对宪法进行审查和修订，但是反对派人物则提议立即采取建立信心的措施，包括解除全国紧急状态。大部分抗议者坚持称，除非总统穆巴拉克辞职，否则他们不会满足。

"Now, people are putting up tents. They're bringing in food to last them a week. Every tent or every area represents people from outside Cairo, and they're saying "We are not leaving till this guy leaves."

"Hosni Mubarak has underestimated the country, has underestimated the people. I used to say I'm proud of Egypt, but today I'm really proud of Egyptians, so proud of them."

“穆巴拉克低估了这个国家，低估了人民。我过去经常说，我以埃及为荣。但是今天，我要说，我以埃及人民为荣，我为他们感到非常自豪。”

Despite the occupation of Tahrir Square, a BBC correspondent in Cairo says there are signs of normal life resuming elsewhere in the city centre with the streets full of traffic for the first time in a week.

The Egyptian economy has been damaged by the nearly two weeks of protests against President Mubarak.

尽管抗议者仍然占领着解放广场，BBC驻开罗一名记者表示，有迹象表明，埃及中心其他地方的生活已经逐渐恢复正常，一周来，街道上首次交通爆满。埃及的银行也在七天来首次开放，但是股票交易所将继续关闭，等待进一步的通知。接近两周反对穆巴拉克总统的抗议活动使埃及经济受到了损害。
