1.No group has said it carried out the attack, but Mr. Malik blamed the Taliban.

carry out开展,贯彻,执行,履行,实现,完成

例句：Extensive tests have been carried out on the patient.
      对患者进行了多次试验。

这句话还可以换一个表达方式：No group has claimed responsible for the attack.

2.I want to make it clear to the terrorists that the entire nation is united and the entire nation says no to the Taliban, no to oppressors, no to terrorists, no to extremists.

make it clear讲清楚

例句：We deem it necessary to make this clear to you.
      这件事我们认为有必要跟你们说清楚。

say no to这里使用了排比句，增强语气。say no to意思是向……说不，也就是即将反抗的意思。

3.The interim President Roberto Micheletti said the decree was no longer necessary because peace had returned to the country.

 no longer no more

(1) 用作副词表示时间上的“不再”，可用no longer, not…any longer, not…any more：

He knows that he is no longer young. 他知道自己不再年轻。

She could no longer go to school. 她不再能上学了。

This is no longer a distant dream. 这已不再是遥远的梦。

I can’t wait any longer. 我不能再等了。

I am not concerned with that matter any longer. 我不再和这事有关。

You won’t ever see her any more. 你不会再见到她。

I just can’t stand this life any more. 我简直受不了这种生活。

We won’t have any more discussion about it. 我们将不再作更多讨论了。

We don’t live here any more [longer]. / We no longer live here. 我们不住在这里了。

He once knew her, but they are no longer friends. 他过去认识她，但现在不再是朋友了。

no longer 通常位于句中的实意动词之前，动词be、助动词和情态动词之后，有时也可位于句末或句首(用于句首时，其后用倒装语序)：

He no longer loves her. / He loves her no longer. / No longer does he love her. 他再也不爱她了。

【注】原来no more 也可表示时间上的“不再”(但要与非延续性动词连用，且位于句末)，但在现代英语中，no more 一般不这样用。

(2) 以下各例中的more 和longer 分别为much 和long的比较级，此时两者不可混淆：

There is no more bread. 没有面包了。

The boy doesn’t want any more. 这孩子不想再要了。

This rope is no longer than that one. 这根绳子与那根绳子一样不长。

4.But international protests and growing pressure from Mr. Zelaya have forced the government to back down.

back down放弃,撤诉,食言,打退堂鼓

例句：After being confronted with our evidence, the other side had to back down.
        面对我们的证据, 另一方不得不退让。

5.But when you cut through all the noise and all the distractions that are out there, I think what’s most telling is that some of the people who are most supportive of reform are the very medical professionals who know the health care system best -- the doctors and nurses of America.

cut through凿穿,抄近路穿过;克服,撇开

例句：The tunnel cuts through the mountain.
      隧道穿过那座山。

6.The work of the three Nobel laureates sheds light on the tiny building blocks of life -- cells.

shed light on照亮,查明,说明,解释

例句：The papers we found shed some valuable light on this question, wholesomely contradicting all lies.
      我们找到的这些论文资料对认识这个问题很有帮助，有利于反驳所有的谎言。
