As thousands of refugees continue to pour across the Libyan border into Tunisia to escape the turmoil now engulfing the administration of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, aid officials are warning of a growing humanitarian emergency. A UN refugee official, Liz Eyster, said that 50,000 had crossed from Libya, nearly half of them Egyptians, and the immediate aim was to find adequate food and shelter for them.

数千名难民为了逃避围困着卡扎菲(Muammar Gaddafi)上校政府的动乱，继续穿越利比亚边境涌入突尼斯境内，救助官员警告称，人道主义状况已经越来越紧急。联合国难民救助官员Liz Eyster表示，目前已有50,000人穿越利比亚边境，大约一半的是埃及人，当前最迫切的就是帮他们找到足够的食物和庇护所。

"Getting them out is a major logistics exercise. The point is to keep people moving and not to have them camped out in Tunisia for too long. Fortunately there's also openings on the other side of the border, the Egyptian side of the border. A major relief effort has been organised over there as well. So I don't think Tunisia needs to get ready for 1.5 million, but I think they need to get ready for a significant number, and we are here to help."

“将他们转移出来是非常重大的后勤工作。关键是让他们转移，不能让他们在突尼斯境内露宿太长时间。幸运的是，另外一边，埃及边境处也有出入口，那边也组织了大量的救助工作。所以，我认为突尼斯不需要为150万人做准备，但是仍然必须为相当多的人进行救助，届时我们会提供相应的帮助。”

Meanwhile a BBC correspondent has visited the Libyan town of Zawiyah, where there have been clashes between Libyan government forces and the opposition in recent days. He found the town centre, 50km west of the capital Tripoli, firmly in the hands of the rebels, but surrounded by forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi. Our correspondent said the rebels had one tank, anti-aircraft guns, rocket-propelled grenades and small arms, but they were potentially facing vastly superior firepower.

同时，BBC一名记者走访了利比亚城镇扎维亚。最近几天，利比亚政府力量和反对派在那里发生了冲突。他发现，在首都的黎波里西部50千米处的扎维亚中心已经被叛军牢牢控制，但是被忠于卡扎菲的军队包围。我们的记者表示，反叛力量拥有一辆坦克，高射炮，迫击炮以及一些小武器，但是他们有可能面临政府军队更猛烈的火力。

The British government has frozen all the assets held in the country by the Libyan leader and his immediate family. The decision is in line with the resolution passed unanimously on Saturday by the United Nations Security Council. It's thought the Gaddafis' UK assets amount to many hundreds of millions of dollars.

英国政府冻结了利比亚领袖和他的近亲在英国境内的所有资产。该决定与联合国安理会于周六一致通过的决议项符合。据信，卡扎菲在英国的资产高达数亿美元。

The Tunisian interim president has named a new prime minister. He's Beji Caid-Essebsi, and he replaces Mohammed al-Ghannouchi, who resigned earlier in the day. Paul Moss reports from Tunis.

突尼斯临时总统任命贝吉·凯德·埃塞卜西(Beji Caid-Essebsi)为新的总理。他取代了当天早些时候辞职的加努希(Mohammed al-Ghannouchi)。Paul Moss在突尼斯报道。

He's a figure from the past. They hope he'll put Tunisia on the road to a new future. Beji Caid-Essebsi served in this country's first ever government as an independent nation. Now he's supposed to steer it towards democracy. His appointment follows three days of violent demonstrations here that forced the previous prime minister to resign. What everyone is wondering of course is whether that resignation and the new appointment will be enough to satisfy protesters. Some have said they won't give up until they have proof that free and fair elections are on the way.

他是过去的一位重要人物。他们希望埃塞卜西能够带领突尼斯走向光明的未来。贝吉·凯德·埃塞卜西(Beji Caid-Essebsi)曾在突尼斯成为独立自主的国家以来第一届政府任职。现在，他将引导整个国家走向民主。他的任命是由于三天以来，突尼斯爆发暴力抗议活动，要求前总理辞职。所有人都想知道的是，前总理的辞职和新总理的任命是否足够使抗议者满意。一些人表示，他们不会放弃，除非有证据表明政府已经在准备进行自由公平的选举。
