BBC在线收听下载:尼日利亚一体育馆外发生爆炸案

A bomb has exploded outside a stadium in northern Nigeria, killing three people, shortly after President Goodluck Jonathan addressed an election campaign rally there. Police said a female suicide bomber blew herself inside a car, killing herself and another female passenger. Eighteen people were injured. Will Ross reports from Lagos.
尼日利亚北部一座体育馆外发生爆炸，导致三人丧生，案发不久前总统古德勒克•乔纳森刚在那里的选举集会上发表讲话。警方称自杀式爆炸者在一辆车里引爆了自己，她本人和另外一名女乘客丧生，18人受伤。威尔•罗斯在拉各斯报道。

The bomb exploded outside the stadium in Gombe just minutes after President Goodluck Jonathan's convoy had left the area. It may not have been as large as other car bombings in Nigeria, but the timing of the attack will have shocked the security forces. The violence is escalating in the run-up to elections due in less than two weeks' time. The attacks are blamed on the jihadist group Boko Haram, which is against democracy and says it wants to set up a caliphate. Over the weekend there were two other explosions in Gombe and another in the city of Potiskum.
爆炸发生在贡贝体育馆外，就在几分钟前总统古德勒克•乔纳森的车队刚离开那里。这次爆炸可能不如尼日利亚发生的其他汽车爆炸案规模大，但袭击的时间却令安全部队震惊。不到两周后就要进行选举，目前的暴力活动正在升级。一般认为这些袭击活动是博科圣地所谓，该组织反对民主，称希望建立伊斯兰王权。周末贡贝和波蒂斯库姆发生了另外两起爆炸案。

Military aircraft belonging to the Chadian armed forces have attacked Boko Haram positions in northeastern Nigeria for a third day. Eyewitnesses say Chadian jets and helicopters bombed and strafed targets in the town of Gamboru, just across the border from Cameroon.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, has gone on trial in France on charges of helping to procure women for sex parties. Mr Strauss-Kahn was forced to abandon his political career in France after being accused by a chambermaid of attempted rape four years ago. From Paris Lucy Williamson.
国际货币基金组织前总裁多米尼克•斯特劳斯前往法国接受审判，他被控帮助性派对招徕女性。4年前一名女服务员被控斯特劳斯强奸未遂，他为此放弃了在法国的政治生涯。露西•威廉姆逊在巴黎报道。

The man once tipped to be France's next president appeared at the Lille courthouse today, zipping past reporters gathered to capture his latest public scandal. Inside the courtroom Dominique Strauss-Kahn sat through the charges read against him of aiding and encouraging the prostitution of several people between 2008 and 2011 at a string of libertine parties in Paris and Washington. But a lawyer for the former IMF chief says that while he attended the parties he had no knowledge of the women's background nor any organisational role.
这名一度差点成为法国下届总统的男子今天出现在里尔法庭上，记者们纷纷捕捉他最近的公开丑闻。多米尼克•斯特劳斯坐在法庭上，听着对他的指控，包括2008到2011年间在巴黎和华盛顿多个性派对上帮助并怂恿数人从事卖淫。但这位前IMF总裁的律师称，尽管他参加了这些派对，但他并不知道这些女子的背景，也没有参与组织活动。

President Obama has presented a four-trillion-dollar budget for the coming year, setting out plans to help the middle class at the cost of higher taxes on companies and on the wealthiest Americans. Correspondents say the president is trying to set the political agenda for the rest of his term in office. But it's likely to be oppressed by the Republican-controlled Congress. From Washington here is our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue.

President Obama has thrown down the gauntlet to the new Republican Congress - his explicitly tight plans for extra defence spending, something his opponents want through raising taxes for roads, bridges and high-speed Internet, something they will take issue with. But it's the tax rises that will prove most controversial, in particular the plan to impose a one-off levy on the overseas profits of US corporations, which could raise almost a quarter of a trillion dollars.Gary O'Donoghue reporting from Washington
奥巴马总统向新的共和党国会下了战书，他在计划中明确提出增加国防开支，而他的反对者希望通过增加对道路、桥梁和高速网络的纳税来筹集这些资金，并会为此进行争论。但最富争议的是增税，尤其是对美国公司的海外收益进行一次性的征税，这样可能会筹资近2500亿美元。格林•奥•多诺休在华盛顿报道。
