Obama issues order easing student loan debt pressures
奧巴馬新政緩解學生償還貸款壓力
President Obama issued an executive action on Monday designed to make it easier for young people to repay their student loans. He signed an order directing Education Secretary Arne Duncan to make sure more people who borrow federal students loans can CAP their debt repayments at just 10 percent of their monthly income.
周一，奧巴馬總統發布了一條行政措施，旨在讓年輕人償還學生貸款更加容易。他簽署了該命令，指導教育部長阿恩·鄧肯(Arne Duncan)確保更多申請聯邦學生貸款的人償還上限為月收入的10%。
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "We call it 'Pay as you Earn'. We know it works because we've already offered it to millions of young people."
美國總統奧巴馬：“我們稱其為即賺即付。我們知道這種措施是可行的，因為我們已為數百萬年輕人提供這種便利。”
Federal law already allows most students to cap their loan payments to 10 percent of their income. Monday's order increases the number of eligible students by some 5 million, the Administration said.
聯邦法律已經允許大部分學生償還貸款的上限為每月收入的10%。政府表示，周一的命令將符合該條件的學生數量增加了500萬。
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "We want young people to be in a position to pursue their dreams. We want more young people who act responsibly to be able to manage their debt over time."
美國總統奧巴馬：“我們希望年輕人有條件追求自己的夢想。我們希望負責任的年輕人有能力管理自己的債務。”
The White House says 'Pay as you Earn' will help stimulate the economy, by helping young people avoid those pesky credit blemishes, it said, that can hurt them down the road. Monday's executive action doesn't go into effect, however, until the end of 2015. Senate Democrats have proposed related legislation that would let Americans refinance their student debt at lower interest rates. But Republicans oppose the idea, saying the cost would be too high to the government.
白宮表示，“即賺即付”措施將幫助年輕人避免糟糕的信譽瑕疵，避免對他們的未來造成損害，從而幫助刺激經濟。然而，周一發布的行政措施要到2015年底才生效。參議院民主黨人也提議了相關法案，讓美國人以更低的利率為學生貸款再融資。但是共和黨人反對該建議，認為政府承擔的費用太高昂。
Five jailed for killing Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya
俄羅斯著名女記者遭槍殺案宣判
In a Moscow courtroom, the five men convicted of killing Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya learned their fate. Rustam Makhmudov, the gunman and his uncle, Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, who handled the logistics ---received life sentences. The other three received 12, 14 and 20 years. Politkovskaya, a frequent critic of the Kremlin, uncovered corruption and reported extensively in Chechnya. The 48-year-old journalist was gunned down in the lobby of her Moscow apartment on October 7, 2006--- President Vladimir Putin's 54th birthday. It isn't clear at this point, who may have masterminded the attack. Russian authorities have denied any role in the killing, which caused international outrage.
