Obama to name Yellen as next Fed chair on Wednesday
奧巴馬提名耶倫為美聯儲首任女主席
U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to nominate Janet Yellen Wednesday to become the next head of the Federal Reserve and the first woman to lead the institution in its 100-year history. The 67-year old Vice Chairman of the Fed has been a forceful advocate of aggressive action to drive down unemployment. Her main challenge ahead will be winding down the extraordinary policy measures the Fed has taken in the last five years to stem the financial crisis. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, she would replace Ben Bernanke, whose second four-year term expires Jan. 31.
預期美國總統奧巴馬將于周三提名珍妮特·耶倫(Janet Yellen)為美聯儲下任主席，也是美聯儲100年歷史上首位女主席。這位67歲的美聯儲現任副主席積極推動采取強勁措施降低失業率。她面臨的主要挑戰將是取消美聯儲過去五年來用于防止金融危機的政策措施。經過美國參議院確認之后，她將接任伯南克接任美聯儲主席。伯南克第二個為期四年的任期將于1月31日結束。
Anti-army protests staged at Egyptian universities
埃及大學爆發反軍方抗議活動
Hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters take to the streets of Egypt to protest against the army after deadly clashes over the weekend. Here students gather outside Zagazig University in Sharqia in defiance, chanting "Down with the military". The same scenes were repeated at Cairo's university campus. Supporters of deposed President Mohamed Mursi urged them to gather after 57 people died and hundreds were wounded on Sunday.
周末期間致命沖突過后，數百名穆斯林兄弟會支持者走向埃及街頭，抗議軍方。在這里，學生們在沙拉齊亞扎加齊克大學外聚集起來反抗，高呼口號“軍方下臺”。同樣的場景也在開羅大學校園上演。周日，57人遇難，數百人受傷之后，被推翻總統穆爾西的支持者敦促他們聚集起來。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) UNIDENTIFIED PRO-MURSI STUDENT OF ZAGAZIG UNIVERSITY, SAYING: "We are here to say no to oppression.Where is our president? Why are our colleagues and brothers dying? Where has legitimacy gone? Where is the constitution and democracy that they (anti-Mursi) are calling for? We keep dying and nobody cares. We are being humiliated and nobody cares. In the end, we will die and we know that nobody will help us. But, nevertheless, we will continue objecting to what is going on, we will object until we die, we will see our demands met or we'll die, we will stand our ground."
未透露姓名的穆爾西支持者，扎加齊克大學學生：“我們來到這里，是向壓迫說不。我們的總統在哪里？我們的同事和兄弟為何犧牲？法制在哪里？他們呼吁的民主和憲法在哪里？我們一直瀕臨死亡邊緣，沒有人在乎。我們一直被羞辱，沒有人在乎。最終，我們會死亡，我們知道沒人幫助我們。但是，無論如何，我們將會抗議現在發生的一切，我們將一直抗議，直到死亡，我們將目睹我們的要求得到滿足，否則我們寧肯死去。我們將堅持立場。”
But on Tuesday there was no security forces at Zagazig University, where Mursi had once taught. Instead students clashed with local residents who opposed the Muslim Brotherhood. Political tensions have gripped Egypt since the army ousted Mursi in July, installing an interim government. The authorities have promised fair elections soon, while cracking down hard on the Brotherhood Islamist organisation.
但是周二，穆爾西曾經任教的扎加齊克大學沒有安全力量出現。學生與反對穆斯林兄弟會的當地居民發生沖突。自7月份軍方推翻了穆爾西，組建臨時政府以來，政治緊張形勢一直籠罩著埃及。當局承諾盡快舉行公平的選舉，然而卻一直嚴厲打擊穆斯林兄弟會。
Fire kills nine at Bangladesh garment factory
孟加拉國制衣廠大火致9人死亡
The fire broke out late Tuesday in the knitting section of this garment factory in Gazipur, near the Bangladesh capital. At least nine employees of Aswad Composite Mills factory died in the blaze and scores more were injured.
火災發生在周二晚間，地點位于孟加拉國首都附近加吉坡這家制衣廠的針織區。制衣廠至少9名員工在火災中遇難，數十人受傷。
(SOUNDBITE) (Nur Nabi) UNNAMED FACTORY WORKER, SAYING: "In the evening when fire broke out I came here to search for my uncle who was working in this factory, I have not yet found him. I found out that the fire started from a stander machine, the silencer of the machine exploded, the fire spread and the factory caught fire. Immediately after the fire many people ran out of the factory but a few could not get out."
未透露姓名的工廠工人：“晚上火災發生時，我趕緊來到這里尋找在這家工廠工作的叔叔，現在還沒有找到。我發現大火是從一架機器開始的，機器的消音裝置爆炸，大火開始蔓延，整個工廠陷入火海?；馂陌l生后許多人立即跑出工廠，但是也有一些人未能逃脫。”
As firefighters continue to douse the flames of the smouldering rubble questions remain about the cause of the fire. Grieving friends and relatives form a line to view the bodies. This is just one of many disasters in Bangladeshi factories. There's been a series of deadly fires and a building collapse in April that killed more than 1100 people. The issue has raised global concern over safety standards in Bangladesh's garment industry, where low wages has helped to make the country the world's second largest apparel exporter after China.
消防員努力繼續撲滅廢墟中隱燃的火苗時，火災的起因仍不明確。遇難者悲傷的親友們排隊等候和遺體告別。這僅僅是孟加拉國工廠諸多災難之一。4月份，全國發生了一系列致命火災和建筑倒塌事件，造成超過1100人死亡。該問題引起全球對孟加拉國制衣行業安全標準的擔憂，低廉的薪水使孟加拉國成為全世界僅次于中國的第二大服裝出口國。
