Hospitals in the northern Nigerian city of Kano are struggling to cope with scores of dead and wounded following a series of bomb attacks on Friday. An eyewitness said he thought there were more than 100 bodies at the mortuary of the main hospital. Mark Doyle is in Kano.
自上周五发生一系列炸弹袭击以来,尼日利亚北部城市卡诺的医院正忙于抢救数十名死伤者。一名目击者称,他认为主要医院的太平间里已有不下100具尸体。Mark Doyle在卡诺报道。

All day long, people have been streaming towards the mortuary of the main hospital in Kano to look for the bodies of loved ones so they can be taken for burial. The majority of victims appeared to be civilians, but there were some uniformed police officers among the dead as well. The series of explosions on Friday evening targeted police stations, a passport office and other government buildings. It was one of the deadliest blows the radical Islamist group Boko Haram has delivered against the Nigerian state. As dusk fell over Kano, armed police and army checkpoints were being set up across the city, and other security measures tightened up.
整天,人们都涌向卡诺主要医院的太平间寻找亲人的遗体,好带回去埋葬。多数受害者是平民,死者当中也有一些身穿制服的警察。上周五的系列爆炸主要以警察局、一处护照办事处等政府大楼为袭击目标,这是穆斯林激进的伊斯兰组织博科圣地对尼日利亚该州实施的最致命袭击。尘埃在卡诺落定后,该市各地都设置了武装警察和部队检查站,同时加强了其他安全措施。

Islamist parties have secured an overwhelming victory in Egypt's first parliamentary elections since the downfall of President Mubarak a year ago. The final results showed that the Muslim Brotherhood had won over 40% of the seats. The hard-line Islamists, known as Salafists, came second. Jon Leyne reports from Cairo.
自从自穆巴拉克总统一年前下台以来,伊斯兰政党在埃及议会首次选举中赢得压倒性胜利。最终结果显示,穆斯林兄弟会赢得超过40%的席位,被称为Salafists的伊斯兰极端主义党派位居第二。Jon Leyne从开罗发回报道。

More than 80 years after they were founded, the Islamists, or the Muslim Brotherhood, are on the verge of power in Egypt after a sweeping victory in parliamentary elections. They had been putting themselves forward as pragmatists by contrast with the more hard-line Islamists, known as Salafists, whom they beat into second place. Under Egypt's presidential system, it's still up to the army and the new president when one is elected to nominate the government, so the winners of this election don't automatically take office.
伊斯兰主义者,或穆斯林兄弟会已成立80多年,如今在议会选举中大获全胜,即将大权在握。他们意在成为实用主义者,与更极端的伊斯兰党,即位于第二的Salafists签署协议。但根据埃及的总统制,还要靠军队和新选总统来任命政府,所以这次选举获胜,并不意味着就可以马上执政。

Angry protesters in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi have forced their way into the headquarters of the transitional government after besieging the building for hours. Witnesses said the protesters used stones and iron bars to break into the offices. Earlier, they threw homemade grenades. Benghazi, which was at the heart of the rebel uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, has seen ongoing protests for several weeks. The transitional government is accused of failing to provide transparency or justice.
在利比亚东部城市班加西,愤怒的示威者包围过渡政府总部数小时后,开始破门而入。目击者说,示威者用石头和铁棍打破办公室大门。此前,他们还投掷自制的手榴弹。班加西曾是推翻卡扎菲的叛军起义的中心,如今这里已持续数周的抗议仍在进行。民众指责过渡政府不透明、不公正。

Voting is taking place in South Carolina, the latest leg of the battle for the Republican candidacy in the US presidential election with opinion polls promising a surprisingly tight contest. The front-runner until now, Mitt Romney, appears to be neck and neck with Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker who's emerging as the latest champion of the party's conservative right wing. The chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, Chad Connelly, told the BBC that voters in his state were always uNPRedictable.
南卡罗来纳州正在进行投票,这是共和党美国总统候选人决赛的最后一站,民意测试表明,这次决赛出人意料地激烈。到目前为止,领先者罗姆尼似乎与前众议院议长金里奇不相上下,金里奇是该党保守派右翼最新杀出的黑马。南卡罗来纳州共和党主席Chad Connelly告诉BBC,该州选民的投票意向很难预测。

"I've been saying, you know, since the beginning, this will be a real race. Don't try to box in South Carolina voters. They're going to surprise you. This is a typical primary for us, and as much as the national media or the narrative was, you know, this thing or that thing, you just can't tell it on the ground. South Carolina voters are fiercely independent. They want to make their own decisions."
“我一直在说,你知道,从一开始,这将是一个真正的比赛。不要为难南卡罗来纳州的选民,他们会让你大吃一惊的。在我们看来,这次初选很特别,不管国家媒体或评论员怎么说,这个是无法预测的。南卡罗来纳州的选民非常独立,他们希望自己决定投谁。”

About 100,000 people in Hungary have marched through the centre of the capital Budapest in support of the Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He's come under heavy criticism at home and from the European Union for adopting laws seen as endangering democracy. Many on the march carried banners in foreign languages appealing to Brussels and other European capitals to respect Hungarian sovereignty.
大约10万名匈牙利人走上首都布达佩斯市中心支持总理Viktor Orban,Orban因颁布被视为危机民主的法律而深受本国和欧盟的批评。许多游行者手持外语书写的小旗,呼吁布鲁塞尔等欧洲首都尊重匈牙利的主权。

Africa's biggest football tournament, the Cup of Nations, has begun in Equatorial Guinea, which is co-hosting the event with Gabon. Equatorial Guinea won the opening match, beating Libya 1-0. Earlier, fans forced their way into the stadium as Alex Capstick reports from Bata.
非洲最大的足球赛事,国家杯,在赤道几内亚开始了,这是与加蓬联合主办的赛事。赤道几内亚以1比0打败利比亚赢得首场赛。此前,粉丝们蜂拥进入体育馆,Alex Capstick从巴塔发回报道。

It was mayhem outside the ground as thousands of spectators tried to force their way through the one gate reserved for them to enter the stadium complex. Riot police attempted to push them back. Tear gas was fired into the air, but that only caused more confusion, and eventually the barriers were opened, and the fans flooded through. Security has become such an important issue at this tournament. Memories are still fresh of the Togo team bus being attacked by gunmen in Angola two years ago.
赛场外面一片混乱成千上万的观众试图进入为他们保留的唯一一扇大门进入场馆,防暴警察设法赶走人群,他们向空中发射催泪弹,结果场面变得更加混乱,最终人群冲破障碍,粉丝们鱼贯而入。安全问题成为本次比赛的重要问题,我们仍记得两年前,多哥队的车辆在安哥拉遭武装人员袭击。

A 16-year-old Dutch girl, Laura Dekker, has become the youngest person to sail around the world single-handed. She arrived in the Caribbean island of St Maarten a year and a day after she set sail. From The Hague, here's Anna Holligan.
一个16岁的荷兰姑娘,劳拉德克尔,已经成为单枪匹马进行全球航行年龄最小的人,她启程后的一年零一天后到达圣马丁的加勒比岛。来自海牙,Anna Holligan报道。

The voyage almost never happened. Truancy and child protection officers tried to stop Laura from setting sail on the grounds that she would miss too much school and that such a long trip wasn't safe for such a young girl. Eventually after a 10-month court battle and after agreeing to a checklist of safety measures, at 14, Laura was allowed to go. Now she said she'd rather not come back to the Netherlands because she feels the country stifles her freedom.
这样的航行真是前所未有!逃学和儿童保护官员认为Dekker会耽误很多功课,而且对于她这么小的女孩来说,这样的长途旅行实在不安全,因此就设法阻止Dekker启程。最终,经过10个月的官司,并签署了安全措施清单,14岁的Laura最终获准航行。如今她说,她宁愿不回来荷兰,因为她觉得国家扼杀她的自由!

Guinness World Records has refused to certify the voyage as it doesn't want youngsters putting their lives at risk.
吉尼斯世界纪录已经拒绝鉴定这次航行,因为其不希望青少年冒生命危险。
