Cameron says cabinet reshuffle reflects "modern Britain"
卡梅倫稱內閣重組反映英國現代化
British Prime Minister David Cameron is getting a new team, after a major cabinet reshuffle. Among the appointees -- Euroskeptics and women. The shake-up comes ahead of a national election next May. This was Cameron on Tuesday.
英國首相卡梅倫進行重大的內閣重組后獲得了新的團隊。被委任者包括歐洲懷疑論者和女性。這次大改組發生在明年五月份的全國選舉之前。下面是周二卡梅倫的講話。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER, DAVID CAMERON, SAYING: "Well I think it is a team that reflects modern Britain and it's only by reflecting all of modern Britain that we'll get the best for our country and I'm very proud of the fact that great talent has come through the Conservative ranks and you now see Conservative women occupying posts like Home Secretary, Education Secretary, Agriculture Secretary, Development Secretary, vitals jobs with really good people, doing their jobs to secure the future of this country and I'm very proud of that."
英國首相卡梅倫：“我認為這個團隊可以反映現代化的英國，只有通過反映現代化的英國，我們才能使國家走上最好的道路，我非常自豪，新的團隊突破了保守黨的圈子，你現在可以看到保守派女性擔任內政大臣，教育大臣，農業大臣，發展大臣等職位，這些都是非常重要的崗位，也是由非常出色的人才來擔任，可以確保國家的未來更加美好，對此我感到非常自豪。”
One of the big surprises was William Hague's resignation as foreign secretary. Defense Minister Philip Hammond -- a known Euroskeptic -- will take his place. Hague welcomed the new appointment.
其中出人意料的一點就是威廉·黑格辭去外交大臣一職。國防大臣菲利普·哈蒙德——一位歐洲懷疑論者——將取代他的職位。黑格對新的任命表示歡迎。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OUTGOING BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY, WILLIAM HAGUE, SAYING: "We're very clear and united on Europe and Philip Hammond, David Cameron and I all have exactly the same policy on Europe. We want to improve Britain's relationship with the EU and then hold a referendum on staying in or leaving the European Union. We're all committed to that, the Conservative Party is more united on this issue than it has been actually in the whole time that I've been in politics, in all that long time. So we're all going to be campaigning for that and I know Philip Hammond is going to be committed to that."
即將卸任的英國外交大臣威廉·黑格：“關于歐洲問題，我們的立場非常明確，非常團結，菲利普·哈蒙德，卡梅倫和我對于歐洲持有相同的政見。我們希望改善英國與歐盟的關系，關于離開還是繼續留在歐盟，我們將舉行全民公投。我們都堅持這一點，保守黨在這個問題上前所未有的團結。所以，我們將為此而宣傳，我知道菲利普·哈蒙德也將堅持這一點。”
Another big surprise was Cameron's decision to sack a longstanding ally, Education Secretary Michael Gove. His radical school reforms had provoked anger among teachers. As for women politicians, they will now make up six of the 23-person Cabinet -- up from three of 22 before.
出人意料的另外一點是卡梅倫決定解雇其長期盟友，教育大臣邁克爾·戈夫。他對學校進行的徹底改革引發教師的憤怒。關于女性政客方面，她們在23人的內閣中占據6個席位，比此前的22人中占據3人有所增加。

烏克蘭總理走訪斯拉維揚斯克
The destruction in Slaviansk is everywhere. Months of fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels left much of the city in ruins. Now that the government is in control, it's time to rebuild. And it's starting with a visit by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk. The official comes offering help to those whose lives have been shattered by
斯拉維揚斯克到處遭到破壞。烏克蘭軍隊和親俄叛軍之間數月的戰爭導致該城市大部成為廢墟。現在政府重新控制，到了重建的時刻，烏克蘭總理亞采紐克(Arseny Yatseniuk)走訪了這座城市。這位官員的到來是為了給那些生活被暴力活動破壞的人提供幫助。

(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) UKRAINIAN PRIME MINISTER, ARSENY YATSENIUK, SAYING: "Russia's politics is absolutely clear for me. On the one hand, they created the military conflict here.

烏克蘭總理亞采紐克(Arseny Yatseniuk)：“俄羅斯的政治對我來說非常明顯。一方面，他們在這里制造軍事沖突。他們就像吸血鬼，吮吸我們的金錢，殺害我們的民眾。這是最重要的。另一方面，他們制造經濟動亂。”
