A minute's silence has been observed at services of remembrance on both sides of the Atlantic to mark the 25th anniversary of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. The majority of passengers on the airliner were from the United States, 11 people were killed on the ground in Lockerbie. The service there was led by the Reverend Sandy Stoddard.
大西洋两岸都默哀一分钟,以纪念泛美航空103航班在苏格兰洛克镇上空爆炸25周年。客机上大多数乘客来自美国,11人在洛克地面身亡。默哀仪式由牧师约翰•麦克劳德主持。

“A bomb was planted on Pan Am 103 but it was an accident that the aircraft happened to come down on and around Lockerbie. This misfortune meant that the town had the agony of the aftermath, but they also the privilege of caring for the families of those who died.”
泛美航空103航班被安置炸弹,但事故发生时飞机正准备降落到洛克镇。这次事故意味着该镇经受了惨剧的痛苦,也有了照顾受害者家属的特权。

The former vice president of South Sudan Riek Machar says his troops have seized the oil producing unity state and have now controlled much of the country. There's been no independent verification of his comments, but security experts suggest his forces control at least some oil fields. More than 500 people have died in ethnic clashes in South Sudan since Sunday when President Salva Kiir accused his former deputy of plotting a coup which he denies. Our Africa editor Richard Hamilton says efforts are going on to avert a full blown civil war.
南苏丹前副总统Riek Machar称,他的部队夺下石油重镇统一州,现已控制了该国大部分地区。目前尚无对此的独立核实,但安全专家称其部队至少控制了某些油田。周日总统萨尔瓦•基尔指控其前副手阴谋发动政变,后者否认,自此已有500多人在种族冲突中丧生。非洲编辑理查德•汉密尔顿称该国已做好准备避免全面内战的爆发。

There is a delegation from East Africa and they've been holding talks with President Salva Kiir who said that he would welcome unconditional talks, unless there has been forthcoming from Riek Machar, although a BBC colleague earlier today did manage to speak to him and he said that he would negotiate if certain political detainees were released. They were prominent political figures who seemed to support him who were arrested after this alleged coup on Sunday.
目前有一支来自东非的代表团在和总统萨尔瓦•基尔进行谈判,总统称欢迎进行无条件的对话,而Riek Machar方面透露的信息较小,尽管今天早些时候一位BBC同事设法和他进行对话,他说如果能释放某些政治犯,那么他愿意协商。有些地位显赫的政治人物似乎在支持他,他们在所谓的周一政变发生后被捕。

Thailand's main opposition party the Democrats say they will not take part in the general election during February in a move likely to deepen the country's political crisis. The Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra announced the national vote after a series of anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok. From there Jonathan Head reports.
泰国主要反对党民主党称不会参加将于二月份举行的大选,此举可能会深化国的政治危机。在曼谷发生反政府游行后,总理英乐•钦那瓦宣布进行全国投票。Jonathan Head在曼谷报道。

Today Thailand's oldest party has been torn over whether or not to take part in an election it was almost certain to lose. In the end, the voices calling for a boycott won the argument, but it is a risky decision. The Democrats now stand accused of sabotaging democracy. And if the election does go ahead, they'll be left with no seats and no power.
几天来泰国历史最悠久的党派一直在争论是否参加这场本党必定会输的大选,最后呼吁抵制的声音赢得了此次争论,但这是一个冒险的决定。民主党现在被控破坏民主,如果选举继续进行,他们就没有席位和权力。

More than 1,000 people have marched in the capital of Niger to protest against what they say as their government's unbalanced partnership with a French nuclear firm Areva. The company has been mining uranium for four decades in Niger and is negotiating a new ten-year contract with the government which will give it a greater share of the profits.
超过1000人在尼日尔首都游行反对政府,称政府与法国核公司阿海珐建立了不公平的伙伴关系。该公司在尼日尔已经开采铀矿40多年,目前与该国政府协商签订10年的协议,将给予该公司更大份额的利润。
