1【Japanese nuclear meltdown 'preventable'】日本核反應堆熔毀“可預防”
TEXT:"This is bad. This is bad." That's what operators at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant said after the facility was hammered by an earthquake and tsunami last year. Three of the plant's reactors would soon suffer a meltdown - triggering the biggest nuclear disaster in Japanese history. Now the company that owned the plant - Tepco - says all that could have been prevented. A new internal report reveals the company didn't do enough to protect the plant from tsunami threats and that it botched efforts to prevent the meltdown. It marked a stunning reversal by Tepco, which for months had said the disaster was unavoidable. Dale Klein, former head America's nuclear watchdog, oversaw the report. FORMER HEAD OF U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND CHAIRMAN OF TEPCO'S INTERNAL NUCLEAR REFORM PANEL, DALE KLEIN, SAYING: "The first stage is denial, the second stage is probably blame others. I think it just took a while for it to really soak in that they understand they blew it." The meltdown forced 150,000 people to flee the area - and left Tepco with so much debt, it had to be nationalized.

2【Mixed reactions to EU Nobel win】歐盟獲得諾貝爾獎褒貶不一
TEXT:The Nobel Committee announced its decision Friday morning to award the European Union with this year's Peace Prize, saying the EU has contributed towards peace in Europe since 1945. Some in Berlin welcomed the decision. This man said it was thanks to the EU that World War II was the last major conflict on the continent. But this man isn't convinced. He doesn't think the EU has worked particularly hard for peace, saying others deserved the honour more. In Greece, mired in the fifth year of a deep recession and struggling with an unemployment rate of 25 percent, many reacted with bitterness to the news.ATHENS RESIDENT, STAMOULA VALIS, SAYING: "I don't believe it has been helping the stability at all, because if it had been we would not be in the mess that we're in. That's my personal opinion." The prize came as a surprise for many, especially given the Union's current woes. Deep recession and mounting unemployment are symptoms of the euro zone debt crisis and harsh austerity measures have led to social unrest in many of the Unions' capitals.
參考譯文:周五早晨，諾貝爾委員會宣布授予歐盟今年諾貝爾和平獎，表彰自1945年以來歐盟對歐洲和平作出的貢獻。在柏林，一些民眾對這項決定表示歡迎。這名男子稱二戰是歐洲大陸最近的大沖突，多虧了歐盟。但這名男子并不信服，不認為歐盟一直在特別努力維護和平，稱被人更應該享有這個榮譽。在希臘，連續五年深陷嚴重衰退，掙扎著達到25%的失業率，許多人對這條新聞的反應帶有苦味。雅典居民Stamoula Valis說：“我一點也不相信它一直在維持穩定，因為如果是的話我們也不會像現在一樣糟糕，這是我個人的觀點?！睔W盟能獲此獎很多人都感到驚訝，特別是考慮到歐盟當前的困境。嚴重的經濟衰退和失業率的攀升是歐債危機和嚴厲緊縮措施下的癥狀，導致許多工會首都社會動蕩。

He's doubling down on denial and we need to understand exactly what happened as opposed to have people brush this aside. " When asked whether the Benghazi compound had asked for more security ahead of the September 11th attack, Biden said the administration did not know more security was requested -- contradicting sworn testimony from two State Department officials.
