VOA慢速英语:Yanukovych Denies Ouster; Promises to Fight for Ukraine

One week has passed since lawmakers in Ukraine voted to oust Viktor Yanukovych as president. Mr. Yanukovych told a press conference on Friday that he was forced to leave Ukraine, but denied being ousted.
自从乌克兰国会议员投票决定驱逐亚努科维奇总统已经过去一个星期了。周五，亚努科维奇先生在新闻发布会上说，他被迫离开乌克兰，但否认被赶下台。

"Nobody has overthrown me," he said. "I was compelled to leave Ukraine due to a direct threat to my life". Mr. Yanukovych spoke in Russian to reporters in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. He announced plans to return and fight for his country. He said he wants to fight for Ukraine's future against those who took control of the country through terror and fear.
亚努科维奇先生在俄罗斯顿河畔罗斯托夫市的新闻发布会上表示，“没有人推翻我，由于直接威胁到生命而被迫离开乌克兰。”他宣布计划返回乌克兰继续斗争。他说，他希望为乌克兰的未来与那些通过恐怖和恐慌控制这个国家的人战斗。

Also on Friday, Ukraine's new government accused Russian forces of carrying out a "military invasion and occupation" at two airports. Interior Minister Arsen Avakov wrote on his Facebook page that armed men were blocking the Belbek airport in the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Russia has a naval base in the area.
同样在周五，乌克兰新政府指责俄罗斯军队军事入侵和占领两处机场。内政部长Arsen Avakov在他的Facebook页面写到，武装人员封锁克里米亚口岸城市塞瓦斯托波尔市的贝尔贝克机场。俄罗斯在该地区有个海军基地。

Unidentified men were also guarding the international airport in Simferopol, the Crimean capital. As of late Friday, the airport was still open. But all of the activity has some people concerned about their well-being.
不明身份的男子还守卫着克里米亚首府辛菲罗波尔的国际机场。截至周五晚，机场仍然开放。但是，所有这些动作让一些人开始担心他们的利益。

Those guarding the airport appeared a day after unidentified gunmen took control of government buildings in Crimea.
这些机场守卫者出现在不明身份武装人员接管克里米亚政府大楼的一天之后。

The crisis began a week ago when Ukraine's parliament voted to oust President Yanukovych. The vote followed three months of street protests. The demonstrations began in November after the president backed out of a trade deal with the European Union. His move was seen as an effort to strengthen relations with Russia instead of getting closer to Europe. The protests were peaceful at first, but then turned violent. More than 75 people were reported killed in the week before the president was ousted.
危机开始于一周前乌克兰议会投票驱逐总统亚努科维奇。这次投票是在3个月之久的街头示威之后。这次示威始于去年11月亚努科维奇总统退出同欧盟的一个贸易协定之后。他的举动视为是为了加强同俄罗斯的关系而不是更靠近欧洲。抗议活动是和平的，但后来演变成暴力冲突。据报道在亚努科维奇总统被赶下台之前的一周，有超过75人丧生。

Parliament wasted no time in replacing Mr. Yanukovych. Lawmakers elected parliamentary speaker Oleksandr Turchynov as the country's acting leader. He immediately announced plans to form a new government. Mr. Turchynov said it would lead the country until new presidential elections in May.
乌克兰议会在取代亚努科维奇上没有浪费时间。国会议员选举议长Oleksandr Turchynov作为该国代理领导人。他立即宣布组建新政府的计划。Turchynov先生称，他会领导这个国家直到五月份的新总统选举。

Valerii Pekar is a Ukrainian researcher and political commentator. He said the events of the past week are Ukraine's final break with its recent past.
Valerii Pekar是一名乌克兰研究员和政治评论员。他说，过去一周的事件是乌克兰同过往的最终决裂。

"We call it a government of national trust because it's a transitional government, which will keep the country alive during preparation of the free, transparent elections, which we need."
“我们称它是国民信任的政府，因为它是一个过渡政府。在我们所需的自由、透明选举的准备期间，它能让这个国家保持存在。”

This week, Mr. Turchynov accused the former government of stealing billions of dollars from the state treasury. On Friday, Switzerland ordered restrictions on any money in Swiss banks that belongs to Mr. Yanukovych and the people traveling with him. The Swiss government wants to avoid the stealing of money that belongs to the Ukrainian public. Austria also said it was freezing the bank accounts of 18 Ukrainians after being asked to do so by Ukraine's new government.
本周，Turchynov先生指控前政府从国库中窃取数十亿美元。周五，瑞士下令对亚努科维奇及其身边人在瑞士所有银行的资金施加限制。瑞士政府希望避免属于乌克兰公众的资金被窃取。奥地利也表示在乌克兰新政府的要求下冻结了18位乌克兰人的银行账户。
