United Nations observers in Syria have visited the site of this week's killings near the city of Hama. Activists said at least seventy-eight people, including women and children, were killed in the village of Mazraat al-Qubeir.

Earlier attempts by observers to enter the village had failed. The U.N. says gunmen had shot at the unarmed observers and blocked them from investigating.
觀察員早些時(shí)候試圖進(jìn)入這個(gè)村莊，但未能成功。聯(lián)合國(guó)表示，武裝分子向手無(wú)寸鐵的觀察員開(kāi)槍，阻止他們進(jìn)行調(diào)查。

A woman who said she lives in the village spoke in an amateur video. She said government-supported militiamen from nearby villages were responsible for the attack.

敘利亞總統(tǒng)巴沙爾·阿薩德（Bashar al-Assad）指責(zé)外國(guó)支持的恐怖組織應(yīng)該對(duì)最近發(fā)生的幾起襲擊事件負(fù)責(zé)，其中包括上月發(fā)生在胡拉鎮(zhèn)(Houla)的屠殺事件。

The violence appeared to intensify across parts of Syria on Friday. Opposition activists reported fresh government attacks in several areas. Large opposition protests also took place around the country.

Peter Harling is an analyst with the International Crisis Group. The group works to prevent and solve conflicts. He says the conflict in Syria will likely move increasingly to Damascus.
彼得·哈林（Peter Harling）是國(guó)際危機(jī)組織（International Crisis Group）的一名分析員。該組織致力于防止和解決沖突。哈林表示，敘利亞沖突可能會(huì)越來(lái)越轉(zhuǎn)向大馬士革。

PETER HARLING: "What we see now is a looming battle for the big cities -- for the capital in particular. The regime has scored a number of very superficial, symbolic victories in terms of cracking down on armed groups, but without ever being able to hold the ground it regained through these military operations."
哈林：“我們現(xiàn)在看到的是一場(chǎng)迫在眉睫的大城市爭(zhēng)奪戰(zhàn)，特別是首都大馬士革。敘利亞政府在打擊武裝組織上取得了一些表面上的象征性的勝利，但卻從未能夠掌控他們通過(guò)軍事行動(dòng)收復(fù)的地方的局勢(shì)。”

In Geneva Friday, the International Committee of the Red Cross called the humanitarian situation in Syria "extremely tense."

HICHAM HASSAN: "People who are being displaced are in need, for example, of bread even. This is something now that is difficult to get for many people who are fleeing or who are still staying or not able or refusing to leave their homes."
哈桑：“那些流離失所的人們需要面包等物資。對(duì)大多數(shù)逃離家園，以及無(wú)法逃離或拒絕逃離家園的人們來(lái)說(shuō)，這些物資難以得到。”

There are fears that the conflict in Syria may be crossing into Lebanon. The neighboring country has yet to recover from its civil war more than twenty years ago. The war split Lebanon along religious lines.
人們擔(dān)心，敘利亞沖突可能會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)入黎巴嫩。這個(gè)鄰國(guó)尚未從20多年前的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)中緩過(guò)勁來(lái)。那次內(nèi)戰(zhàn)沿宗教分界線分裂了黎巴嫩。

There have been recent clashes between two neighborhoods in Lebanon's second largest city, Tripoli. Two gun battles killed twenty-five people in Tripoli and then spread to Beirut where two people died.

The Lebanese government has an official policy of neutrality in Syria. But Lebanese Sunnis have been holding weekly demonstrations in Tripoli to protest what they say is support by their government for the Syrian government. The Sunnis are also angry about cross-border raids by Syrian troops.
