The first detachments of troops and tanks have begun arriving in three northern Nigerian states as part of a combat operation against Islamist militant groups. The army says it’s making the deployments in order to completely root out the insurgents. When asked about the prospect of civilians getting caught in the crossfire, a spokesman for Nigeria’s president, Dr Doyin Okupe, told the BBC that he could not make any predictions about casualties.

第一批軍隊和坦克已經(jīng)抵達尼日利亞的三個州，這是對伊斯蘭武裝組織作戰(zhàn)行動的一部分。軍方稱此番部署是為了徹底根除叛亂分子。尼日利亞總統(tǒng)發(fā)言人Doyin Okupe被問及平民可能在交火中受害之時，他告訴BBC，自己無法對傷亡做出預測。
"Some sacrifice will have to be paid for people to move forward. You know, that’s, you know, isn’t easy in all history of all nations. It is better for us to, you know, within a short time, say about three, four, five, six months, completely root out the insurgents and return normal scene to these places so that, you know, they and their children can live a better life.”
“為了前進，必須做出一定的犧牲。要知道，任何一個國家的歷史都不是容易的。我們最好能在短期內，比如三到六個月徹底根除叛徒，使這些地方恢復常態(tài)，這樣這里的人們和他們的孩子能過上更好的生活。”
On Tuesday, a state of emergency was declared in the three states in response to attacks by the Islamist group Boko Haram.
周二三個州宣布進入緊急狀態(tài)，以應對伊斯蘭博科圣地組織。
The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution calling for a political transition in Syria and condemning President Bashar al-Assad’s government for its increasing use of heavy weapons. But the non-binding resolution had less support than a similar one last year. From the UN, Barbara Plett reports.
聯(lián)合國安理會采取決議呼吁敘利亞進行政治過渡，并譴責總統(tǒng)巴沙爾·阿薩德政府增加對重型武器的使用。但這項決議沒有約束性，和去年通過的類似決議一樣沒有得到多少支持。芭芭拉·普勒特在聯(lián)合國報道。
A solid majority of 107 states voted yes, but that contrasted with 133 which supported a similar resolution in August. The text was drafted by Arab states that have championed the rebels and critics said it overwhelmingly favoured the opposition. Diplomats say the comments reflected a growing unease about the fragmented nature of the insurgents and the extremist elements amongst them. Some states also claimed the text was aimed at giving Syria’s UN seat to the opposition National Coalition. In fact the Arab drafters have watered down the language, backing the coalition as simply a representative interlocutor for a political transition.
決議獲得多數(shù)支持，共有107個國家投票支持，但8月份的類似決議獲得了133個國家的支持。決議是由支持叛軍的阿拉伯國家起草的，批評者稱決議過于偏袒反對派。外交家們稱，由于叛軍和極端分子成分雜亂，這種批評也表達對這種局面的不安。有的國家也稱決議是為了將敘利亞在聯(lián)合國的席位讓給反對派全國聯(lián)盟。事實上阿拉伯國家已經(jīng)弱化了語氣，支持該聯(lián)盟是為了將之作為政治過渡期間的代表對話者。
There’s been fighting outside the main prison in the Syrian city of Aleppo, which rebel fighters have tried to storm. Opposition sources say the rebels launched an attack on the prison using suicide car bombs to try to blast holes in its walls.
敘利亞阿勒頗市主監(jiān)獄外發(fā)生戰(zhàn)斗，叛軍武裝分子試圖對監(jiān)獄發(fā)動襲擊。來自反對派的消息稱，叛軍試圖使用自殺式汽車炸彈在監(jiān)獄墻上打洞，以此發(fā)動襲擊。
Scientists in the United States say they’ve created a human embryo through cloning. Ever since British researchers produced Dolly the sheep in 1996, scientists have been trying to apply the same reproductive cloning method to human cells. Campaigners hope the developed embryonic cells can repair damaged tissues and cure diseases. James Gallagher has more.
美國科學家稱通過克隆技術創(chuàng)造了人類胚胎。自從1996年英國研究者創(chuàng)造出多利羊后，科學家們一直試圖用同樣的生殖克隆方法來制造人類細胞。支持者希望發(fā)達胚胎細胞能修復受損組織并治愈疾病。詹姆斯·加拉赫報道。
Dolly the sheep was the first cloned mammal, but scientists have struggled to reproduce even the early steps in people. Now a team in Oregon have used a skin sample and a woman’s egg to produce some early cloned human embryo. Their aim is not to produce a baby, but a source of stem cells. In theory this could be used to repair the damage after a heart attack or the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease. However, other experts say there are easier, cheaper and less controversial sources of stem cells.
多利羊是首個科隆哺乳動物，但科學家一直努力再造人類繁殖的早期階段。目前在俄勒岡，一個團隊使用皮膚樣本和一名女性的卵子制造了人類早期克隆胚胎。其目標不僅是制造嬰兒，還希望以此作為獲取干細胞的途徑。根據(jù)理論，這種方法將被用來修復帕金森氏癥患者心臟病的損害或受損的大腦。然而，也有科學家稱獲取干細胞還有其他更簡單、廉價和不那么富有爭議的來源。

Police in the Iraqi capital Baghdad say more than 20 people have been killed in a wave of bomb attacks in Shia districts in the city. Aleem Maqbool reports on the continuing violence in Iraq.
這里是BBC新聞報道。
伊拉克首都巴格達警方稱，該市什葉派地區(qū)發(fā)生系列爆炸襲擊，導致20多人喪生。阿里姆·馬克波爾在伊拉克報道仍在繼續(xù)的暴力事件。
The frenzied news of attack after attack came suddenly this evening. Until now 11 bombs have been confirmed by police. Most are said to have been car bombs, at least two targeting restaurants. Last month over 700 people were killed, Sunni and Shia, in an alarming surging sectarian violence across Iraq. The deep rift between Shia and Sunni are not healing. Once again the possibilities of civil war and even the break-up of Iraq are being openly discussed and feared.
瘋狂襲擊的消息是在晚上突然到來的，目前警方已確認有11枚炸彈。據(jù)悉多數(shù)是汽車炸彈，至少兩個是針對餐館的。上月整個伊拉克宗派暴力四起，令人震驚，有700多名遜尼派和什葉派人員被殺。兩派之間的間隙并未愈合，目前人們再度開始談論內戰(zhàn)甚至整個伊拉克分裂的可能性，這讓人害怕。
A powerful cyclone is expected to hit low-lying coastal areas in Bangladesh in a few hours’ time. More than a million people are being moved into the country’s vast network of concrete shelters. But there are concerns that there won’t be enough room. Similar evacuations are underway in Burma, which is also threatened. Many thousands of displaced Rohingya Muslims are seen as particularly vulnerable. But some are reluctant to leave their makeshift camps, saying they distrust the authorities.
未來幾小時內將有一強臺風襲擊孟加拉國低洼地區(qū)，100多萬人正在向該國廣大的混凝土避難所趕去。但有人擔心房間不夠。緬甸也要發(fā)生臺風，因為目前也在進行類似的撤離。數(shù)千名流離失所的洛興雅族穆斯林可能受害最大，但有人不愿離開自己的臨時營地，稱不信任政府。
The 66th Cannes Film Festival has opened with the star-studded ceremony on the French Riviera. Stars of the screen paraded up a rain-soaked red carpet as they arrived for the first event— the European premiere of Baz Luhrmann's film The Great Gatsby. After this 20 films will be shown, each one vying for the most prestigious prize in the film industry—the Palme d’Or. And the director Steven Spielberg leads the jury for the first time.
星光璀璨的第66屆戛納電影節(jié)在法國里維埃拉開幕。屏幕上的明星們紛紛登上被雨水打濕的紅地毯，此時也是巴茲·魯曼的《了不起的蓋茨比》的歐洲首映式。然后將展覽20部電影，每部都將角逐電影節(jié)最富盛名獎項—金棕櫚獎。導演斯蒂芬·斯皮爾伯格首次領導評獎團。
The British football club Chelsea have won the Europa League Cup beating Benfica 2:0(2:1 rather) in the final in Amsterdam.
