President Obama has described Monday’s deadly bomb attack on the Boston Marathon as a cowardly act of terror. But he said it remained unclear whether those responsible were foreign, domestic or if it was the work of malevolent individual. The two bombs are reported to have been relatively small, but they killed three people and injured more than 170. Paul Adams reports from Boston.
總統(tǒng)奧巴馬稱周一波士頓馬拉松的致命炸彈襲擊是懦弱的恐怖行徑。但他說尚不清楚襲擊者究竟是外國人、本國人還是惡意的個人。據(jù)悉這兩枚炸彈都比較小，但卻導致3人喪生，170多人受傷。保羅·亞當斯在波士頓報道。
The centre of Boston is still a crime scene: streets closed off, large numbers of police and National Guard on duty. The city’s flags are flying at half mast as they are across the country. The authorities have appealed to the public to come forward with information and photographs and it’s clear that many people already have. What’s less clear is how much of a picture investigators have already built up. It’s been reported that the two bombs were made from pressure cookers packed with ball bearings, nails and metal shards. But this hasn’t been confirmed.
波士頓市中心仍是犯罪現(xiàn)場的景象：街道上關(guān)了門，大批警察的國民警衛(wèi)在巡邏。像整個美國其他地方一樣，該市的國旗也降了半旗。當局呼吁公眾提供信息和照片，顯然很多人都提供了幫助。但尚不清楚調(diào)查者目前對整個事件的了解如何，據(jù)悉兩枚炸彈都是用高壓鍋制成，包上鋼球、釘子和金屬碎片，但這一點未經(jīng)證實。

This was a massive earthquake, stronger than the one that struck Haiti in 2010. But its epicenter was in a remote area of mountains and desert close to Iran’s border with Pakistan and so far at least the casualty toll appears to be relatively low. Iranian state television announced that the earthquake had been felt throughout the Gulf such was its power with some skyscrapers in Dubai being evacuated.

Thousands of genetic tests carried out across the European Union have found that almost 5% of processed beef products on sale have been contaminated with horsemeat.

在歐盟各國進行的數(shù)千次基因測試表明，近5%在售的加工牛肉制品都被馬肉污染了。實驗室還發(fā)現(xiàn)，200個樣品中只有一個含有馬藥保泰松的痕跡。歐盟健康委員會托尼奧·博奇稱這并沒有危害食品安全。
“The incidents of the presence of bute in the horsemeat were extremely low, less than 0.5%. And also the fraudulent link within the percentage was an original 4.6%. Still this has been a serious violation of the labeling in this nation and we intend to impose and to propose new measures.”
