No injuries reported in Antares rocket explosion
美國無人火箭發(fā)射后爆炸
Fifteen seconds after liftoff, an explosion brought an unmanned Antares rocket falling to the ground Tuesday night. A fireball lit up the sky at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Officials expressed disappointment in the launch failure but gratitude that no one was injured.
周二晚上，發(fā)射15秒之后，一枚心宿二(The Antares rocket)無人火箭爆炸并墜落地面。巨大的火球照亮了佛吉尼亞州的沃洛普斯(Wallops)飛行中心。官員們對發(fā)射失敗表示失望，但是所幸沒有人員傷亡。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) FRANK CULBERTSON, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER OF ADVANCED PROGRAMS GROUP AT ORBITAL SCIENCES CORP.,SAYING: "It's a tough time to lose a launch vehicle like this and its payload. It's not as tragic as losing a life associated with it so we're very happy to report there were no injuries and the safeguards both in flight and on the ground worked as they should have and all we lost was hardware."
軌道科學(xué)公司副行政總裁和總經(jīng)理卡伯特森(Frank Culbertson)：“失去這樣的運載火箭及其載荷是非常重大的損失。但是遠遠沒有因此造成人員傷亡那么悲慘。我們很欣慰地宣布，沒有人員因此傷亡，飛行中和地面上的安保人員都按規(guī)定操作，我們損失的只是硬件設(shè)施。”
The incident marked the first accident since NASA turned to private operators to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. This rocket was built and launched by Orbital Sciences Corporation, which said it would conduct a thorough investigation. Officials say the damage appears limited to the launch facility and the rocket but won't know the full extent until daylight.
這是NASA要求私人運營商向國際空間站運送物資后首次出現(xiàn)事故。這枚火箭由軌道科學(xué)公司打造和發(fā)射。該公司表示將進行徹底調(diào)查。官員們表示，損失僅限于發(fā)射裝置和火箭本身，但是天亮之前難以確定受損程度。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) BILL WROBEL, DIRECTOR OF NASA'S WALLOPS FLIGHT FACILITY, SAYING: "Basically we've set up a perimeter as a result of it being dark out there. We know we've got some solid prepellant in the air. We're basically letting the fires burn out, but they are contained."
沃洛普斯(Wallops)飛行中心主任BILL WROBEL：“由于現(xiàn)在仍然天黑，我們將設(shè)立防護欄。我們知道空中仍有一些物品在燃燒。我們會讓大火自動熄滅，但是基本上已經(jīng)控制住了。”
Officials say the Space Station has enough supplies on board to last until early next year.
官員們表示，空間站上的物品足夠支持到明年年初。
Giant haul of illegal drugs go up in flames in Afghanistan
阿富汗燒毀大宗非法毒品
A giant haul of illegal drugs is prepared for destruction in Afghanistan. The confiscated drugs include raw opium, hashish and chemicals used to process opium into heroin.
阿富汗正準備銷毀一大宗非法毒品。這些沒收的毒品包括生鴉片，大麻和用于將罌粟加工成海洛因的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。
(SOUNDBITE) (Dari) DEPUTY MINISTER OF AFGHAN INTERIOR FOR COUNTERNARCOTICS, GENERAL BAZ MOHAMMAD AHMADI, SAYING: "The amount of drugs destroyed in today's ceremony was over 20 tons. These drugs were seized by Afghan counternarcotics police and other Afghan security departments from areas around Kabul."
阿富汗負責(zé)反麻醉藥的內(nèi)政部副部長BAZ MOHAMMAD AHMADI將軍：“在今天的儀式上銷毀的非法毒品超過20噸。這些毒品由阿富汗反麻醉劑警察和喀布爾個地區(qū)阿富汗安全部門繳獲。”
Afghanistan has long been the world's leading supplier of opium---with opium poppy cultivation hitting an all-time high in 2013, according to a recent UN report. The U.N. drug office pegged the value of poppy cultivation and opium products produced here in 2013 at about $3 billion - that's a 50 percent increase over the estimated $2 billion in 2012. This----despite years of counter-narcotics efforts that, the UN report says, have cost the United States a whopping $7.6 billion since the start of the war in 2001 - prompting questions about whether the long and costly campaign against poppy cultivation has gone up in smoke.
阿富汗長期以來一直是鴉片的主要生產(chǎn)國——根據(jù)聯(lián)合國最近一份報告，2013年，其罌粟種植量達到歷史最高水平。聯(lián)合國毒品控制辦公室估計2013年阿富汗的罌粟種植和鴉片產(chǎn)品價值為30億美元——比2012年估計的20億美元增加了50%。聯(lián)合國表示——盡管連續(xù)多年在打擊麻醉毒品方面做出努力，美國自戰(zhàn)爭開始以來已經(jīng)耗費了76億美元——這使得人們懷疑長期以來打擊罌粟種植的耗時耗力的努力是否會灰飛煙滅。
Ukraine's Poroshenko condemns "pseudo-elections" in east
波羅申科譴責(zé)烏克蘭東部人為虛假選舉
The leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic visits towns in Ukraine's East ahead of a November 2 vote in rebel-controlled areas. Alexander Zakharchenko has big ambitions.
自己宣布獨立的頓涅茨克人民共和國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在11月2日叛軍控制地區(qū)的投票之前訪問了烏克蘭東部城鎮(zhèn)。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人亞歷山大·扎卡哈申科(Alexander Zakharchenko)胸懷雄心壯志。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) DONETSK PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC LEADER, ALEXANDER ZAKHARCHENKO, SAYING: "I want our pensioners to be able to travel to Australia at least once a year and to shoot fifteen or so kangaroos on safari. I want my compatriots to work to live, and not live to work. That's what I want. I want the average salary to be higher than in Poland. That's what I want. I want to live in a big, rich, free country."
頓涅茨克人民共和國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人亞歷山大·扎卡哈申科：“我希望我們領(lǐng)取養(yǎng)老金的人每年都至少一次去澳洲旅游，在觀獸旅行中拍攝袋鼠。我希望我的同志們工作是為了生活，而不是為了工作而生活。這就是我想要的。我希望平均工資高過波蘭。這就是我想要的。我希望生活在一個強大，富裕而自由的國家。”
Ukrainain President Petro Poroshenko isn't buying it.
烏克蘭總統(tǒng)波羅申科并不買賬。
(SOUNDBITE) (Ukrainian) UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT, PETRO POROSHENKO, SAYING: "A just society can be built only where there is the rule of law, when there are fair elections, unlike elections - pseudo-elections - that terrorists and bandits are planning to hold on occupied territories. On November 2nd, under the barrels of guns, they want to demonstrate a fake expression of will."
烏克蘭總統(tǒng)波羅申科：“公平的社會只能建立在有法律秩序，有公平的選舉的地方，而不是恐怖分子和強盜們計劃在他們控制的領(lǐng)土舉行的這種選舉。11月2日，在槍支的恐嚇下，他們想要表達虛假的民意。”
The dispute over the rebel vote has deepened the discord between Russia and the West over the future of Ukraine, going back to the overthrow by protesters of the country's Moscow-backed president in February. The November 2nd vote will be held in defiance of Ukrainian elections held last Sunday in which pro-Western parties triumphed.
關(guān)于叛軍控制地區(qū)投票的爭端加深了俄羅斯和西方世界對烏克蘭未來的不和諧。雙方之間的不和可追溯到2月份莫斯科支持的總統(tǒng)被抗議者推翻。11月2日的投票將挑釁上周日烏克蘭舉行的選舉。在上周的投票中，親西方的黨派獲勝。
