At least 36 people were injured in Buenos Aires on Saturday morning after a commuter train slammed into a station, almost reaching the turnstiles. It happened at the Once station on the busy Sarmiento line. Passengers described the moment of impact.
周六早上，布宜諾斯艾利斯一輛城鐵沖上站臺，幾乎撞到天花板，造成至少36人受傷。事故發生在最繁忙的Sarmiento線一號站臺。乘客們描述了驚險的一刻。
SOUNDBITE: Unidentified Passenger saying (Spanish): "You didn't feel hard braking, the train was at the same speed in which it was coming. What I heard was the impact and then the lights went out."
未透露姓名的乘客：“你沒有感到司機努力剎車，列車撞擊的速度和平時的運行速度一樣。我聽到人們的呼聲，然后所有燈都滅了。”
This is the same station where 52 people were killed last year in an almost identical collision. Local media say a mob formed here shortly after the crash and tried to attack the train operators.

New Jersey becomes 14th U.S. state to allow same-sex marriage
新澤西州加入允許同性婚姻行列
New Jersey's top court denied Governor Christ Christie's request to put a hold on gay marriage, while the state's appeal is being heard. Dozens of same-sex marriage advocates celebrated the news Friday. On Monday, same sex couples here will be allowed to legally tie the knot, making New Jersey the 14th state in the United States to allow same sex-sex marriage, in addition to the District of Columbia.
新澤西高級法庭拒絕了州長克里斯·克里斯蒂(Chris Christie)延緩同性婚姻的要求，這個州民眾的呼吁得到了聽取。周五，數十名同性婚姻的捍衛者慶祝了該消息。周一，這里的同性戀情侶將獲準合法地喜結良緣，使新澤西州成為美國第十四個允許同性婚姻的州。哥倫比亞區也已宣布同性婚姻合法。
Marsha Shapiro tells Reuters her story: "We've been wanting to get married for a long time. We have been together over 24 years, we were religiously married over 21 years ago. We have four children and four grandchildren and another one on the way. It's time that we get married."
Marsha Shapiro向路透社講述了她的故事：“我們想要結婚已經很久了。過去24年我們一直在一起，21年前，我們通過宗教儀式結婚。我們有4個子女，4個孫子，另外一個也快出世了。我們是時候結婚了。”
But same sex marriage is much more than just a piece of paper for Rich Kiamco:
但是對Rich Kiamco來說，同性婚姻的意義遠遠超過一張結婚證書：
(SOUNDBITE) (English) RICH KIAMCO (PRONOUNCED KEMCO), STAND-UP COMEDIAN AND JERSEY CITY RESIDENT, SAYING: "This act, getting this piece of paper and having this ceremony at midnight, I mean it's beautiful, it's fun. It's a much more profound statement towards the universe, (saying) 'no we are equal and we are not accepting anything less than equality and protection.' So we have to do this."
喜劇演員，澤西市居民RICH KIAMCO：“這種行為，獲得結婚證書，在午夜舉行儀式，這是非常美好，非常有趣的。這比探索宇宙更有意義，‘我們是平等的，我們只接受平等和保護。’所以，我們必須這樣做。”
New Jersey is the first state to lift a ban on gay marriage after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law in June defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
新澤西州是美國最高法院6月份推翻聯邦法律，拒絕將婚姻定義為一男一女之間結合之后取消同性婚姻禁令的第一個州。
U.S. tourists visit Cuba in record numbers
美國赴古巴旅行游客增加
Despite travel restrictions - Americans are visiting Cuba in record numbers. New statistics released by the Cuban government show more than 98,000 U.S. citizens traveled to the communist-run island in 2012 - up from about 73,000 in 2011. These numbers don't include visits by U.S. diplomats - or the estimated hundreds of thousands of Cuban Americans who travel home each year. American tourist Robert Batha said getting to Cuba is difficult - but worth it.
盡管旅行限制的存在，美國赴古巴旅行的游客卻達到前所未有的數量。古巴政府公布的新的統計數據顯示，2012年，超過98,000名美國公民到這個共產主義統治的島嶼旅行，2011年僅有73,000人。這些數字并不包括美國外交官的訪問，也不包括每年回國探親的古巴籍美國公民。美國游客Robert Batha表示，去古巴非常困難，但是是值得的。
SOUNDBITE: Robert Batha, U.S. tourist on cultural exchange in Cuba, saying: "It's not easy. We don't get to travel directly to Cuba. We came through Cancun, through Mexico. I don't think we're officially supposed to be here but we're on a cultural exchange because we're all avid photographers."
赴古巴進行文化交流的美國游客：“來這里并不容易，我們不能直接飛往古巴。我們通過坎昆，通過墨西哥。從官方的角度講，我們不應該來這里，但是我們是為了進行文化交流，因為我們都是狂熱的攝影師。”
The rise in U.S. tourism is linked to the loosening of travel restrictions by the Obama administration. Cuban Americans now are allowed to visit to their native country freely - and, under a program launched in 2011, the U.S. government grants licenses for educational and cultural groups to travel to Cuba.
美國赴古巴旅游的興起與奧巴馬政府放松旅行限制有關。古巴籍美國人現在獲準自由地探訪祖國。根據2011年發起的項目，美國政府向教育和文化團體發放了赴古巴旅行許可證。
