I'm John Dryden from the VOA News Center in Washington.

The top UN Human Rights official has lashed out at Burmese military government Monday, accusing it of obstructing aid to the victims of the devastating cyclone that left at least 134, 000 people dead or missing. In her final address to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Louis Arbour criticized the Burmese government's response to Cyclone Nagis, but she told delegates that the international community shares blame for the plight of the cyclone survivors, Ms. Arbour said the military government's obstruction of international assistance was made possible by long standing international tolerance for the junta's human rights violations.

Western countries condemned the presence of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, at a UN sponsored food security conference in Rome on Monday. Zimbabwe is struggling with food shortage/ and inflation of over 160, 000 percent, critics blamed the problems on Mr. Mugabe's policy of redistributing white-owned commercial farms, but the Zimbabwean leaders blamed western sanctions.

华盛顿美国之音新闻中心，我是John Dryden。 联合国人权高级官员星期一抨击军政府，谴责其阻碍向破坏性飓风的受害者提供援助，导致至少134,000人死亡或失踪. 在Louis Arbour致日内瓦人权委员会的报告结尾，她批评缅甸政府对Nagis飓风的反应，但她对代表说国际社会对飓风幸存者的困境也有责任。Arbour女士认为由于国际上长期容忍军政府对人权的践踏，导致军政府阻碍国际援助。

周一在罗马由联合国赞助的一个食品安全会议上，西方国家谴责到场的津巴布韦总理Robert Mugabe。津巴布韦在食品短缺和通货膨胀的困境中挣扎，其通货膨胀已超过百分之十六万。批评家谴责Mugabe重新分配白人拥有的商业农场的政策，但津巴布韦领导人谴责西方制裁。

A car bomb explosion outside Denmark's embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad has killed at least eight people, including two policemen and a Danish citizen of Pakistani origin. The massive blast on Monday afternoon also injured at least 25 people, tore through outer protective walls, demolished  embassy security posts and destroyed nearby vehicles. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Denmark has faced renewed terrorist threats since several Danish newspapers reprinted a caricature in February showing the Prophet Muhammad with a turban resembling a bomb.

The United States Monday urged Syria to fully cooperate with an International Atomic Energy Agency investigation of charges/ that it was secretly trying to build a nuclear reactor. US officials believe North Korea was helping Syria build the reactor which was destroyed in an Israeli air strike last year.

VOA's David Gollust reports from the State Department.

Syrian work crew/ carted away the wreckage of the building hit by the Israeli aircraft and carefully swept the site near the Euphrates river. But US official say lingering evidence plus testimony from Syrians who worked on the project should allow the IAEA to make an informed judgment about the nature of the project. Though Syria has denied any nuclear weapons project or cooperation with North Korea, the Bush administration believes Pyongyang was helping Syria build a reactor much like the one in North Korea that yielded the plutonium for that country's nuclear weapons project.  IAEA Chief Mohamed EIBaradei told the agency's board of governors in Vienna Monday, Syria has agreed to admit inspectors June 22 through 24. In a talk with reporters, State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack urged Syria to fully cooperate with the IAEA inspectors and allow them to do whatever they need to, in order to make an authoritative report about the disputed site. David Gollust, VOA news, the State Department.


巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡的丹麦大使馆外发生了一起爆炸， 至少8人死亡，包括两名警察和一名巴基斯坦籍的丹麦人。 周一下午的巨大爆炸导致至少25人受伤，炸开了外面的防护墙，炸毁了使馆保安岗和附近的汽车。 没有人对这起爆炸声明负责。自从二月份几家报纸再次出现穆罕默德头戴穆斯林头巾的漫画，丹麦再次面对新一轮恐怖主义分子的威胁，漫画中穆罕默德的形象酷似一枚炸弹。
周一美国敦促叙利亚与国际原子能协会全面配合，对指控其秘密建造一个核反应堆进行调查。美国官员认为北朝鲜在帮助叙利亚建造核反应堆，这个基地去年曾被以色列的一次空袭摧毁。
美国之音David Gollust自美国国务院报道。
叙利亚工作人员把被以色列空袭的建筑残骸运走，并仔细地清扫靠近幼法拉底河的现场。 但美国官员说：尽管叙利亚否认有任何核武器项目或与北朝鲜的合作， 根据在此项目上的叙利亚工作人员的证词和有关证据，国际原子能协会应该可以就项目的性质作出明智的判断。 布什政府认为平壤在帮助叙利亚建造一个反应堆，与北朝鲜的国家核武器项目中使用的钚反应堆相似。国际原子能协会主席Mohamed EIBaradei周一告知协会理事会：叙利亚已同意允许调查员在6月22日到24日期间进行调查。 美国国务院新闻发言人在发表新闻讲话时，强烈要求叙利亚与国际原子能协会调查员全面配合，进行必要的调查，以便对争议地点作出一个权威的报告。 国务院美国之音新闻，David Gollust报导。

光笔译加查字典就3个小时，我是不是太慢了？一篇新闻我得分三次才能做完，真汗！


你好！天下，请问你刚闭关修炼时是怎样的速度？最终是达到听一遍2倍速的就全写听出来了吗？神，我崇拜你！：）
另外我在lingo 的帖子里看到你说的新闻“译文”位置，但还是没有找到“译文”呀。只看到原文。能发个链接吗？
我也刚开始练精听。基本上一句话要暂停N次，很少能听完直接写出来的。所谓1.0倍速，是只放一遍，写多少是多少吗？ 还是最终要达到放一遍就全写出来目的？ 那岂不是要练速记了？

我的听写原文扫描(一般都是1.N个MB）了不会传上来，能教教我吗？抵制日货，一直没买数码相机：）

等候指教！

US Democratic party frontrunner Senator Barack Obama appears to be set to claim his party's nomination this week, which would make him the first African-American presidential candidate to be a nominee of a major US political party. VOA correspondent Cindy Saine reports.


Senator Obama told his supporters that it has been a long, hard race for the Democratic nomination. Heading into the last two Democratic primaries Tuesday in South Dakota and Montana, Obama said he understands that the long nomination fight has left people wondering whether Clinton's supporters would back him in the general election against Republican Senator John McCain. "Let me tell you something. First of all, Senator Clinton has run an outstanding race. She's an outstanding public servant and she and I will be working together in November." Obama did not elaborate on what he meant by working together. Many analysts believe that enough super delegates would come out and endorse Obama this week, putting him over the total number of required delegates and giving him the nomination. Observers will be watching Clinton to see how she responds. Cindy Saine, VOA News, Washington.


Senator Edward Kennedy, one of the leading liberals in US politics is out of surgery for a malignant brain tumor. The 76-year-old senator underwent a surgery in a South Carolina's hospital Monday for about three and a half hours.

Doctors say Kennedy was awake during the procedure and should experience no permanent neurological effects from the surgery.

This has been the news from the Voice of America

美国民主党领先的参议员Barack Obama看来本周会入选获得其党派的任命，这将使他成为第一名非籍美国总统候选人，代表一个美国主要的政党。美国之音记者Cindy Saine报导。

Senator Obama对他的支持者们说，竞选民主党的候选人是耗时而艰苦的。周二进入最后两个民主党的选区South Dakota
和Montana，Obama说他理解长时间的任命竞争让人们怀疑是否克林顿的支持者们会在最终竞选中支持他，与共和党参议员John McCain竞选。 “让我说些事情。首先，克林顿参议员的竞选非常成功，她是一位出色的公众公仆，并且到十一月份，我将和她一起共事。” Obama没有明确解释“一起共事”是什么意思。 许多分析家认为本周会有足够的超级代表出来支持Obama，让他获得足够的选票而得到任命。 观察家们将会密切注意Clinton的反应。 华盛顿，美国之音新闻，Cindy Saine。

参议员Edward Kennedy是美国政界的一位主要自由党派人员，刚做完一次恶性脑瘤的手术。这位76岁的参议员本周一在南卡罗莱纳州的医院进行了3个半小时的手术。

医生们说Kennedy在手术中一直都很清醒，手术应该不会对神经系统有永久性的影响。

David Gallus, VOA news, the State Department. "

Meanwhile delegates at the Food Summit in Rome have approved the declaration trying to work together to ease the suffering caused by the global rise in food prices. The United Nations says it will take 15 billion to 20 billion dollars each year to stand the tide of soaring food crisis that increase global hunger and poverty and spark rioting in some countries.
/ special UN and African envoys on Darfur say prospects for peace talks aimed at ending the crisis in Sudan's conflict-ridden province of Darfur are slim. The diplomats failed to get peace negotiations restarted during a two-day meeting in Geneva. Lisa Schlein has details.

"The special envoys call the meeting "constructive", but they admit the diplomatic process is at an impasse. The five-year war in Darfur between the Sudanese-backed Janjaweed Arab militia and African rebel groups has claimed more than 200, 000 lives and displaced over 2 million people. UN special envoy for Darfur Jan Eliasson, says it is unrealistic to expect substantive negotiations any time soon. So he says it is crucial that the conflict does not escalate. Participants at the meeting agree recent fighting between Sudan's army and former southern rebels in and around the oil-rich town of Abyei could be the flashpoint to re-ignite a war between the Muslim north and southern Christian and animists south. Lisa Schlein for VOA news, Geneva. "

US officials say they are concerned about reports of Burma's military government has been evicting some cyclone survivors from their temporary shelters. And an official with the US Agency for International Development says if evictions are taking place, people may be forced back into areas where disaster experts may not be able to work. Analysts reported this week that Burma's military government was forcing some survivors back to their homes even if their homes were destroyed.
And the US Democratic Party's presumed presidential nominee Barack Obama says Hillary Clinton was a tough and outstanding rival candidate for the party nomination. He made the comment during a town hall meeting in southeastern Virginia. Senator Clinton has promised to wind (up) her bid for the White House and rally her supporters behind Obama. In the statement Clinton said her differences with the Illinois senators were small compared to those for senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.
And that's the latest. I'm Robert Burns, VOA news.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahbadenejad has called for an expansion of ties between his country and Iraq following a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Iran's state news agency reports Ahbadenejad says stronger relations between the two nations will help Iraq's development and stability. The two leaders met late Sunday as Mr. al-Maliki's state visit to Iran is third since he became prime minister. President Ahbadenejad made a landmark visit to Iraq in March.

US First Lady Laura Bush made a surprise trip to Afghanistan Sunday to raise awareness of that country's need for development aid. Web report from / /, a full reporter traveling with the First Lady.

Instead of spending the weekend in the Camp David with the President, First Lady Laura Bush made a secret trip to Afghanistan. She hopes the visit of her third will give her adequate credibility when she appears on Thursday in Paris before an international donors conference. "I can make the case that we need to stay, the whole international community needs to stay with Afghanistan." While there, Mrs. Bush is announcing several new programs of American assistance, especially for Afghan women and children. CBS news traveling with the First Lady.

Chinese state media say an aftershock has occurred at a lake formed by last month's earthquake, and that the growing body of water is threatening to flood thousands of more homes downstream. The Xinhua News Agency says the aftershock of 4. 8 struck the southwestern province of Sichuan causing massive landslides on mountain surrounding the lake. The aftershock impact on threatened area is under surveillance. Earlier Sunday Xinhua said the lake was rising dangerously despite the efforts to drain the water safely.

Concerns about mass South Korean street protests are reaching the highest possible level now with South Korea's President following the White House to express his concern. Many demonstrators have been rejecting attempts by the two leaders to address concerns about the US beef import deal. VOA's Kurt Achin has more from Seoul.

Tens of thousands of South Korean protestors have been taking to the streets almost every night for about a month now. The protestors are especially concerned about beef from cattle more than two and a half years old which they perceived to carry a risk of the fatal brain condition, known as mad cow disease. A Blue House statement Sunday said Mr. Bush assured the South Korean President his administration would come up with concrete measures aimed at preventing beef from cattle more than 30 months old from being shipped to South Korea. South Korea's main opposition party has dismissed the White House's promise as lacking sincerity. Even as the two Presidents were talking, South Korean riot police were struggling to contain tens of thousands protestors in downtown Seoul. Many accused the South Korean President of being too hasty to strike a deal to resume US beef imports. They demand he cancel the deal and reopen negotiations. Kurt Achin, VOA news, Seoul.

两处疑惑，不知确切应如何翻：
1. A Blue House statement：翻成“白宫‘蓝皮书’”对吗？
2. South Korean riot police were struggling to contain tens of thousands protestors in downtown Seoul. 南韩的平暴警察正拼命将数万的抗议者限制在首尔市中心。
另觉得script中有一处似乎不太对：
Current Asia, VOA news 写成了Kurt Achin, VOA news。

CBS news是什么呀？

Sudan's state television says about 100 people were killed when a plane veered off a runway at Khartoum's airport and burst into flames. About 200 people were thought to be aboard this Sudan Airways airline's plane when it landed in  bad weather. The plane has just arrived in Khartoum after a flight from Amman, Jordan.

The United States and the European Union have agreed to step up pressure on Iran. VOA's Paula Wolfson reports from Slovenia that Iran's nuclear program was one of many issues discussed during talks between President Bush and  E.U. leaders.

President Bush says the United States and Europe must join forces to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. "One country can't solve all problems. I fully agree with that. A group of countries can send a clear message to Iranians and that is: We're gonna（can） continue to isolate you. We can continue to work on sanctions. We will find new sanctions it need be, if you continue to deny the just demands of a free world." In their summit communique（communicate）, the U.S. and E.U leaders speak of imposing economic sanctions beyond those already put in place by the United Nations if Iran refuses to suspend nuclear enrichment. President Bush says a nuclear-armed Iran will be a dangerous place, stressing Teheran has a decision to make. Paula Wolfson, VOA new, Ljubljana.

Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tvsangirai says talk of a unity government is pretty mature, adding that he will compete in this month's runoff presidential election. Tvsangirai told reporters in Harare that his Movement for Democratic Change has focused on election which is scheduled for June 27th. Tvsangirai defeated President Robert Mugabe in the March 29th election, but official results say he failed to secure the majority needed to avoid a runoff election.

Two Somalia's opposition leaders say a peace deal between the Somali government and some opposition figures is nothing more than a Western-backed ploy to protect Ethiopian troops in Somalia. The acting Chairman of the hardline Alliance for the Reliberation of Somalia Zacharia Mohamed Haji Abdi told  VOA that his faction does not recognize the authority of Somalia's transitional federal government. He says the war against the transitional federal government and its Ethiopian backers will continue.

The World Food Program is sending emergency food shipments to Ethiopia where officials expect already severe shortages to worsen over the next few months. WFP Director for Ethiopia Mohammed Diab  says the supplies will help assist more than 4.5 million people desperately in need of food aid. He said the United States is making available aid supply of CSB, or corn soya blend, to ease an expected shortfall of 360,000 metric tons of food over the next three months.

China has said a massive lake formed by the Sichuan earthquake is halfway drained and now poses less of a threat. Meanwhile, China has punished more officials for doing a poor job with earthquake relief work. Daniel Schearf reports from Beijing.

China's official Xinhua news agency reports the Tangjiashan quake lake has drained more than halfway, significantly easing the threat from flooding. The unstable lake contain 250 million cubic meters of water and was formed when Sichuan May 12th earthquake caused landslides to cut off a river. Xinhua said there was not (now) a balance between inflow and outflow of water and that pressure on the lake dam had eased. More than 250,000 people have been evacuated from the area and more than 1 million more were directly under threat when the lake burst. But Xinhua says only 50,000 people are still threatened. Bao Chunan is a spokesman for the Ministry of Health News Department. He says if the barrier lake breaks it would probably flood a big area, posing a severe challenge to epidemic preventional work in the disaster area. Soldiers had worked for days, digging a channel and blasting obstacles with dynamite and short-range missiles to ensure a fast flow of water. Daniel Schearf for VOA news, Beijing.

Anti-government protestors have gathered in the South Korean capital Seoul in the  biggest demonstration yet over the government's decision to lift the ban on the U.S. beef imports.  Estimates of crowd range from 10,000 to 100,000.
