Georgia preps for impending storm, hopes to avoid repeat mistake
佐治亞州做好迎接暴風雪準備
It's a mistake officials in Georgia do not want to make again. As the region prepares for a second winter storm that's expected to dump snow and ice on the South, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has declared a state of emergency for dozens of counties.
佐治亞官員不想重復同樣的錯誤。預期第二場暴風雪將襲擊該州南部，帶來降雪和冰凍，該地區正在進行充分的準備工作，佐治亞州州長內森·迪爾(Nathan Deal)宣布幾十個郡縣進入緊急狀態。
SOUNDBITE: GEORGIA GOVERNOR NATHAN DEAL, SAYING: "We are making every effort to be prepared for these events and I would simply say that we should all, individually, use extreme caution."
佐治亞州州長內森·迪爾(Nathan Deal)：“我們正在盡一切努力為即將到來的暴風雪做準備，我要說，我們每個人都要格外謹慎?！?/span>
Officials say they are exercising extreme caution after a storm paralyzed the region two weeks ago. Traffic came to a standstill on highways with many drivers having to sleep in their cars. Atlanta's mayor says they will not make the same mistake again.
官員們表示，兩周前，一場暴風雪導致該地區進入癱瘓狀態，自此之后，他們都極其謹慎。當時高速通路交通停滯，許多司機不得不在車內睡覺。亞特蘭大市長表示，他們不會讓同樣的錯誤再次上演。
SOUNDBITE: ATLANTA MAYOR KASIM REED, SAYING: "The most important thing that we can do is have the roads clear so that all of the capabilities that we have put together as a team, can be used, because we certainly know is we can't treat the roads to get them in shape to get through the weather events if we have people on them."
亞特蘭大市長卡西姆·里德(KASIM REED)：“我們能做的最重要的事情就是清理道路，這樣我們所有人做出的一切努力才能用的到，因為我們知道，如果人們在道路上被困，我們不能保障秩序井然。”
The impending storm is expected to pack a one-two punch, first dumping snow, then ice Monday night into Tuesday.
即將到來的暴風雪預期將連續兩次襲擊，首先是暴雪，然后，周一晚上至周二帶來冰凍。
Second round of Syria talks makes faltering start
敘利亞第二輪會談艱難起步
A second round of Syria peace talks got off to a shaky start in Geneva, with the two sides complaining about violations of a local ceasefire. Ahead of the talks, mediator Lakhdar Brahimi told delegates to commit first to discussing both ending the fighting and setting up a transitional government. Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad says Syria is not trying to impose a new agenda.
敘利亞第二輪和平會談在日內瓦艱難起步，雙方互相指責對方違反當地停火協議。會談之前，調停者卜拉希米(LakhdarBrahimi)告知雙方代表團致力于討論結束戰爭和組建過渡政府的問題。敘利亞副外長梅卡達德(Faisal Mekdad)表示，敘利亞不想實施新的進程。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SYRIAN DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER FAISAL MEKDAD SAYING: "We want to discuss the Geneva Communiqué one point by one point, from one point, number one, until the end of this list. So this is the Syrian approach to this discussion and I think this is a very, very constructive approach that should not create any problems."
敘利亞副外長梅卡達德(Faisal Mekdad)：“我們希望逐條討論日內瓦公報的內容，從第一條一直到最后一條。所以，這就是敘利亞對這次討論的方法，我認為這是非常建設性的方法，不會產生任何問題?！?/span>
Amateur video which can not be independently verified by Reuters shows the relentless war on the ground. Against this backdrop the opposition is calling for an end to the fighting.
路透社難以獨立證實的業余視頻顯示現場發生了殘酷的戰爭。而與該背景相反的是，反對派呼吁停止戰爭。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SYRIAN NATIONAL COALITION SPOKESMAN LOUAY AL-SAFI SAYING: "It is not acceptable that the regime would send its own delegation to talk peace while it is killing our people in Syria. This must stop, we ask the international community to do something about it."
敘利亞全國聯盟(National Coalition)發言人LOUAY AL-SAFI：“該政權一方面向和平會談派遣代表團，一邊屠殺敘利亞人民，這是不可接受的。他們必須制止這種行為，我們要求國際社會對此采取行動?！?/span>
The evacuation of civilians and delivery of aid was the first concrete result of talks launched two weeks ago in Switzerland to try to end the civil war. Those efforts are facing challenges on the ground in a conflict that has already gone on about three years.
疏散平民和運送救助物資是兩周前在瑞士進行的旨在結束內戰的會談取得的首個具體成果。這些努力在這場已經持續了三年的沖突中遭遇了挑戰。
Iran marks 35th anniversary of Khomeini taking power
伊朗紀念哈梅內伊掌權35周年
Iran marks the 35th anniversary of its Islamic revolution. February 10TH is the day Ayatollah Khomeini took power of the country. In 1979, a siege began some ten months after the fall of the U.S.-allied shah. Radical students stormed the U.S. embassy, taking 52 people hostage. They were released after 444 days. It ended U.S.-Iranian diplomatic relations. More recently, Iran reached an interim agreement with Western powers to curb its nuclear program. In his State of the Union Address, U.S. President Barack Obama defended his outreach to Iran saying: "If John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan could negotiate with the Soviet Union, then surely a strong and confident America can negotiate with less powerful adversaries today."
伊朗紀念伊斯蘭革命35周年。2月10日是哈梅內伊執掌國家政權之日。1979年，與美國聯盟的伊朗君主沙阿倒臺大約十個月后，圍攻拉開了序幕。激進的學生襲擊了美國大使館，綁架了52人，444天后將他們釋放。這場革命終結了美國和伊朗的外交關系。最近，伊朗與西方大國達成了臨時協議，抑制其核項目。在國情咨文講話中，美國總統奧巴馬為他向伊朗拋出的橄欖枝做出辯護：“當初肯尼迪總統和里根總統能夠和蘇聯談判，今天，強大自信的美國當然可以和沒那么有實力的敵對國家談判?！?/span>
