IMF chief says U.S. default would bring massive disruption to world markets
美國債務違約將擾亂世界市場
Despite all the smiles and laughs at the G20 this week in Washington, Christine Lagarde has a message that could not be more serious for those following the U.S. funding debate.
盡管本周在華盛頓召開的G20峰會上笑聲不斷，國際貨幣基金組織主席克里斯蒂娜·拉加德(Christine Lagarde)卻傳達了一個消息，對于那些關注美國債務問題辯論的人來說再嚴峻不過了。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) CHRISTINE LAGARDE, IMF MANAGING DIRECTOR SAYING: "If there is that degree of disruption, that lack of certainty, that lack of trust in the U.S. signature, it would mean massive disruption the world over, and we would be at risk of tipping yet again into recession, that was the impression around that big table."
國際貨幣基金組織主席克里斯蒂娜·拉加德(Christine Lagarde)：“如果擾亂的程度比較嚴重，缺乏確定性，對美國的簽名缺乏信任，這將意味著對全世界造成大規模擾亂，我們將面臨再次退回經濟衰退的風險，總體基調確實就是這樣。”
Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," the managing director of the International Monetary Fund said the U.S. must raise the debt ceiling. The deadline for the U.S. is Thursday. If the debt ceiling is not raised, Lagarde warned, then the country could default on its debt, roiling the world financial markets.
在NBC電視臺“與媒體碰面”節目中，國際貨幣基金組織主席表示，美國必須提高債務上限，最后期限是周四。拉加德警告稱，如果不提高債務上限，美國將出現債務違約，擾亂世界金融市場。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) CHRISTINE LAGARDE, IMF MANAGING DIRECTOR SAYING: "You have to honor your signature, you have to give certainty to the rest of the world and you have to make sure that your own economy is consolidating that welcome economy that we have seen in the last few days, because it impacts the entire economy."
國際貨幣基金組織主席克里斯蒂娜·拉加德(Christine Lagarde)：“你們必須尊重自己的簽名，你們必須給予世界其他國家確定性，你們必須確保你們的經濟足夠穩固，因為美國的經濟會影響全世界的經濟。”

Iraqis on edge as wave of car bombs kill dozens across country
連環汽車炸彈使伊拉克人憂心忡忡
Police throughout Iraq look for clues after multiple car bombings kill or injure dozens. In Basra, police say two car bombs exploded simultaneously, wounding at least 17. One local shop owner saw both blasts go off.
連續幾起汽車炸彈襲擊造成數十人傷亡，伊拉克全國的警察都在尋找線索。在巴士拉，警方表示，兩枚汽車炸彈同時爆炸，造成至少17人受傷。一名當地商店店主看到兩起炸彈爆炸。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) OWNER OF SHOP AT BLAST SCENE, KADHIM FALEH, SAYING: "A blast took place here and one minute later a second car bomb went off here. A man was wounded here [points] and another one there and a third one was lying under tires."
爆炸現場一名商店店主KADHIM FALEH：“一起爆炸首先在這里發生，一分鐘之后，這里又發生第二起汽車炸彈爆炸事件。一名男子在這里受傷，另外一人在那邊，還有一名傷者躺在輪胎下。”
The attack was part of a wave of car bomb attacks that ripped through busy streets and markets in mostly Shi'ite provinces. The deadliest attack took place in Hilla, south of Baghdad, where two more car bombs blew up in quick succession, killing at least five people and injuring many more. It is not immediately clear who is behind the attacks, which appear to have been coordinated. Sunni Islamists and other insurgents, including al-Qaeda, have been regaining ground this year. So far violence in Iraq has killed more than 6,000 people this year.
這起襲擊是最近發生在大部分什葉派穆斯林居住省份繁忙的街道和市場一系列汽車炸彈襲擊的其中一起。最致命的襲擊發生在巴格達南部的希拉，兩枚汽車炸彈先后爆炸，造成至少5人死亡，多人受傷。目前還不清楚襲擊的幕后主使，似乎是提前組織好的。遜尼派伊斯蘭分子和其他反叛分子，包括基地組織，今年來逐漸得勢。目前為止，伊拉克的暴力今年已經造成超過6,000人死亡。
11 still missing after 22-story apartment building collapses in Colombia
哥倫比亞22層公寓樓倒塌 11人失蹤
Twenty-two stories... 11 people missing... and now possibly another collapse. After working through the night, rescue crews in Colombia are running into structural risks that are hindering their search of a collapsed apartment building.
22層的公寓樓，11人失蹤，現在可能又發生了一起倒塌事故。經過一整晚的工作后，哥倫比亞救援人員面臨建筑危險，妨礙他們繼續搜索倒塌的公寓樓。
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) DIRECTOR OF RISK MANAGEMENT FOR THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT, CARLOS IVAN MARQUEZ, SAYING: "There is plan for search and rescue operations in collapsed structures. First, we have to evacuate the area -- we've already done that for 163 families. Then we have to go in with machinery to stabilize and prevent any risk of collapse because we've already seen some."
哥倫比亞政府危險管理部門主任CARLOS IVAN MARQUEZ：“我們出臺了倒塌建筑搜救行動計劃。首先，我們必須對該地區進行疏散——我們已經疏散了163個家庭。然后我們將攜帶機器進入建筑，防止進一步倒塌的危險，因為我們已經遇到過這樣的情況。”
Rescue dogs have been deployed to scour the rubble in the hope of finding anyone alive, including the brother of Carlos Alberto.
目前已經派遣了搜救犬來搜索廢墟，希望找到幸存者，包括Carlos Alberto的弟弟。
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) CARLOS ALBERTO, BROTHER OF MAN MISSING IN RUBBLE, SAYING: "My little brother is trapped in there because he was parking his car with a friend. His friend escaped, but he didn't make it."
在廢墟中失蹤者的哥哥CARLOS ALBERTO：“我弟弟就被困在廢墟中，當時他正和一個朋友一起停車。他的朋友成功逃生，但是我的弟弟不幸被埋在下面。”
Authorities evacuated the building Friday after large cracks began to appear in the structure. It's believed construction workers who were working inside during the collapse are among the 11 missing.
周五，建筑開始出現大的裂縫時，當局開始進行疏散工作。據信11名失蹤者中包括建筑倒塌時仍在內工作的建筑工人。
