Our people are dying, children are being orphaned. Most of the deaths are women and over 2/3 of those infected belong to the most economically active age category of 15 to 50.

The British government has announced that passengers arriving at two airports will undergo enhanced screening for Ebola. Mike Sergeant?reports.

英国政府已经宣布在两个机场进出的旅客需要增强对埃博拉病毒的检测。Mike Sergeant发回报道。

There is being a rapid shift in the government's policy on screening passengers. Earlier, minister said, there were no plans for UK checks on those travelling from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. The advice from the World Health Organization was that such measures were unlikely to be effective. But now the Chief Medical Officer has decided that screening may offer additional protection. The new arrangements will cover Heathrow, Gatwick, and the Eurostar terminals and will involve questions about the passengers' recent travel history. An assessment may also be carried out by trained medical personnel rather than bored full staff.?

目前有关机场进出旅客身体检测的政策出现了迅速转变。早些时候，部长称英国没有关于检测来自塞拉利昂，利比亚和几内亚旅客的计划，而世界卫生组织建议称我们这种措施根本不会起到任何作用。但是现在首席医疗官决定称对进出旅客进行检测可能会提供额外的保护安全保护。新政策安排将会覆盖希斯罗机场，盖特威克机场和欧洲之星机场，还会对旅客的近期旅行经历进行调查。一种专业测评将会由训练有素的专业医疗人员进行而不会是门外汉。

The French novelist Patrick Modiano has won this year's Nobel Prize in literature. The BBC's Sebastian Usher has read and translated Patrick Modiano's work.?

法国小说家Patrick Modiano获得了今年的诺贝尔文学奖最高荣誉。BBC工作人员Sebastian Usher为您播报Patrick Modiano的工作。

Just as in his brief elliptical novels, Patrick Modiano is an illusive figure rarely to be seen in French literature circles and barely known outside France. Such nearly all his 30 or so books have circled around the same scenes and themes. His characters come in and out of focus in a hazy landscape of betray and guilt. The setting is almost always France under Nazi occupation, drawn from scraps of documents and photographs. The style is poetic and bleak even if many of the books are extensively detective novels, but the mystery Modiano is investigating is the ambiguity of the past, in his case, the short-lived world of occupation and collaboration in Paris that vanished just months before he was born.

就像他写的短篇小说一样，Patrick Modiano是一位在法国文学界里法国以外鲜为人知的虚幻人物。几乎他的作品中30本书都可以围绕同一个场景和主题进行展开。他作品中人物的出现和消失都围绕着背叛和内疚展开。整片文章设置几乎都是围绕纳粹控制之下的法国展开，从历史照片和文件中展开诉说。整体文章风格属于史诗体裁，篇风色彩暗淡，许多书籍都以侦探小说为主，但是Patrick Modiano调查的确实对过去历史的争议，在他而言，自出生前的几个月，法国出世短命的职业和合作世界即消失不见。
