So we've made real progress these past four years. Wisconsin we've all gathered here today because we get more work to do. As long as there is a single American who wants a job but can't find one, our work is not yet done. As long as there is a child anyplace in Milwaukee, anyplace in Wisconsin, anyplace in this country, who is languishing in poverty and barred from opportunity, our fight goes on.
过去四年间我们确实取得了进步,我们今天在威斯康星聚会,是因为我们有更多事要做。只要还有一位需要工作机会的美国人没有工作,只要密尔沃基、威斯康星或整个国家的某个地方仍有孩子遭受贫困,或无法得到机会,我们就仍需要继续前行。

来自埃及的报道称三名警察在西奈北部被人开枪打死,没有组织声称对此负责,但警方谴责这是伊斯兰武装分子所为。Jon Leyne在开罗报道。

The attack happened in an area that is becoming increasingly lawless in recent months. Gunmen opened fire on the police car in the city of El-Arish. It's a city on the northern coast of Egypt Sinai peninsula. The Egyptian army has been deployed in the area in large numbers since a major attack on Egyptian bodyguards three months ago. The poor security in the area is one reason for the recent decision by the British government to increase its assessment of the threat of terrorism in Egypt.
袭击发生地近几个月来越来越没有法纪,在阿里什市,枪手对警车开枪,该市位于埃及西奈半岛北部沿海。自从三个月前埃及警卫遭受重大袭击以来,此地已部署了大批埃及军队。该地区安全状况不佳,这促使英国政府最近决定提高对埃及恐怖主义威胁的评估。
