The long-serving President of the governing body of world football, Sepp Blatter, has recognised that the corruption scandal engulfing the Organisation has brought shame and humiliation to football. But addressing the opening of FIFA's annual Congress in Zurich, Mr. Blatter distanced himself from senior officials against whom charges have been filed. He said he couldn't keep an eye on everyone.
世界足球官方机构长期任职的主席塞普•布拉特承认该组织发生的腐败丑闻令足球界蒙羞。但在苏黎世国际足联的年度会议开幕式上，布拉特将自己与那些被控腐败的高级官员划清了界限，他说自己不可能盯着每个人。

I know many people hold me ultimately responsible for the actions and implementation of the global football community, whether it's a decision for the hosting of a World Cup or a corruption scandal. We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time. If people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it. Our sports news correspondent, Alex Capstick, has this assessment of the day's events.
我知道很多人最终将这些行为和全球足球界的运作归到我的头上来，无论是决定世界杯的举办权还是腐败丑闻。无论是我们还是我本人都不能时时刻刻盯着每个人，如果有人想行为不轨，他们总是能找办法来掩盖。我们的体育新闻记者阿历克斯•凯普斯蒂克评估了今天的事件。

This was vintage Sepp Blatter, blame others for the wreckage and then make a pledge to fix it. Not for the first time he's tried to distance himself from a scandal. He did say the next months will be difficult, and to expect more bad news. But he seemed determined to fight on. His speech at the opening ceremony of FIFA's Congress followed a gruelling day. The Head of UEFA, Michel Platini, asked him to step down, an offer he rejected. One of the main sponsors, VISA, threatened to review its relationship with the Organisation. Alex Capstick.
这就是塞普•布拉特，他将罪责归结到别人身上，然后承诺来修整。试图与丑闻划清界限，这已不是第一次了。他说未来几个月会很艰难，预计还会出现更多坏消息，但他似乎决心对付这一局面。在国际足联大会开幕式上讲话的前一天很艰难，欧洲足协主席米歇尔•普拉蒂尼要求他辞职，他对此表示拒绝。该组织主要赞助商VISA威胁要重审与该组织的关系。阿历克斯•凯普斯蒂克。

In a whirlwind tour of European capitals aimed at securing support for his proposed E.U. reform, the British Prime Minister, David Cameroon, has met President Francois Hollande in Paris. At a joint news conference, Mr. Hollande said they would discuss Mr. Cameroon's proposals. Mr. Cameroon said the status quo was not good enough.
为了确保所提出的欧洲改革获得支持，英国首相戴维•卡梅伦对欧洲的各首都进行了旋风式的旅行，他在巴黎会见了法国总统弗朗索瓦•奥朗德。在联合新闻发布会上，奥朗德说他们将谈论卡梅伦的提议，卡梅伦称现状并不是很好。

I believe there are changes we can make that will not just benefit Britain, but the rest of Europe, too. Of course, the priority for Francois is to strengthen the Euro Zone to ensure a successful single currency, and Britain supports that. We want to help the Euro Zone work better, and we do not want to stand in the way of closer integration. So we have different priorities, but we share a common objective, which is to find solutions to these problems.
我想我们可以做出一些不仅有利于英国，也有利于欧洲其他国家的改变。当然，奥朗德的重要任务是加强欧元区，从而确保单一货币的成功，英国对此表示支持。我们希望帮助欧元区运作得更好，我们并不想阻碍更密切的融合。所以我们有不同的考虑重点，但我们有一个共同的目标，那就是找到解决这些问题的办法。

The team from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have modified a smartphone to carry out eye tests. The test is portable and can be used with little training in remote parts of the world, where there is no access to specialist services.
