“The Syrian people are the only party that will decide for the future of Syria, it's not up to this minister or that minister to decide for the future of our own country.

“叙利亚人民将决定叙利亚的未来，并非取决于这位或那位部长来决定我们国家的未来。这一进程得到联合国安理会的支持，经拉赫达尔•卜拉希米斡旋，得到谢尔盖•拉夫罗夫背书，是叙利亚人领导的政治进程。”

“基辅中心的广场是一片地狱景象，一排黑色轮胎在燃烧，产生黄色的烟雾和厚厚的、酸味黑烟。”

“We never could mention a statue which would have a rabbit hid on its ear. So we are really unhappy that somebody decided on their own to put some to which we'd met with respect,so it is not right, we'd want people to see that statue as a symbol of hope not about something like a rabbit”
“我们不会让一尊塑像的耳朵里藏有铜兔子，听到有人自作主张将东西放在我们尊敬的塑像里，我们很不高兴，这是不对的，我们希望人们视这尊塑像为希望的象征，而不是想起兔子什么的。”

雕塑者说之所以加上这个铜兔子，是因为当局不让他们在塑像上刻下签名。这尊9米高的铜像是在曼德拉安葬一天后揭幕的。

Venezuela has announced reforms to its foreign currency exchange system in an effort to combat inflation and boost the economy. The low official exchange rate for the dollar will be maintained for essential imports such as medicines and food. But Venezuelans traveling abroad or buying luxuries will have to pay a much higher rate, determined by weekly currency auctions. Some economists say the changes amount to a devaluation by stealth, despite its oil wealth. Venezuela has faced a shortage of staple goods.
