BBC News with Marion Marshall
Exit polls suggest that Israel’s governing coalition has lost ground in a general election that’d seen an unusually high turnout across the country. The polls indicate return to power for the right-wing alliance led by the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but with a substantially reduced majority. They show an unexpected surge of support for the new centrist party Yesh Atid led by a former television presenter Yair Lapid. Kevin Connolly reports from Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud Party headquarters in Tel Aviv.
选 举投票后民意测验表明以色列的执政联盟已失去了普选中的优势，当时他们在全国获得了异乎寻常的高投票率。但是，目前的民意测验暗示由总理内塔尼亚胡领导的 想要再次执政的右翼联盟已实质上失去了多数人的支持。出人意料地，伊朗人民纷纷支持由前电视主持人Yair Lapid领导的新中间党Yesh Atid。Kevin Connolly在特拉维夫市内塔尼亚胡的利库德集团总部发回报道。
As news of the television exit polls flashed on the giant screen at Likud headquarters, partying activists cheered and celebrated it. It was more relief than real jubilation. The polls suggest that the combined list led by Mr. Netanyahu has lost 1/4 of its seats. But that should still leave him in the position to form a coalition. At one point the headquarters was crackling with rumors that he’d done even worse. Parties of left and right both picked up seats. The result of the picture is of a fragmented parliament. The likely outcome, Mr. Netanyahu, a great survivor, has survived again.
当利库德集团总部的巨大屏幕上闪现民意测验的电视报道时，党派活动家们欢呼雀跃，为此庆祝。与其说是真正的 庆祝，不如说是种解脱、放松。测验结果表明由内塔尼亚胡先生领导的联盟在国会中已经失去1/4的席位。但是，他仍然有能力再成立一个新联盟。在这座总部大 厦里曾经谣言四起，说他过去的表现太糟糕了。左右两党纷纷获得了席位。最后的局面就是一个支离破碎的国会。很可能结局就是，内塔尼亚胡先生，一个伟大的幸 存者，再一次幸存下来。
The French President Francois Hollande and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel have marked 50 years of friendship between their two countries. There was a joint cabinet meeting in Berlin and a joint session of both parliaments to celebrate half a century of the Elysee Treaty. This sealed the two countries’ reconciliation after the World WarⅡ. At a joint news conference, Angela Merkel explained that she and Mr. Hollande were urging closer economic and financial ties between Euro zone countries to help them avoid a repeat of Europe’s current debt crisis.
法国总统弗朗西斯科•奥朗德和德国总理默克尔共同庆祝了两国之间50年的友谊。在柏林举行了联合内阁会议，两院都 进行了联合会议以庆祝半个世纪之义的爱丽舍条约，该条约标志着两国在第二次世界大战后的和解。在联合新闻发布会上，默克尔解释到，她和奥朗德先生都曾鼓励 欧元区所有国家在经济和金融上展开更为紧密的合作，以帮助欧元区国家避免欧洲现时的债务危机。
“That’s why we, France and Germany want by May to put forward proposals for the stabilization and deepening of the economic and monetary union. It’s about a deeper cooperation in economic policy.”
“这便是原因，为什么我们，法国和德国想要在五月前，推出稳定并深化经济和货币同盟的提议。这些提议关于在经济政策方面更一步的合作。”
The European Union has allowed 11 of its member states to introduce a new tax designed to discourage financial speculation. It’s expected the tax will be levied on every trade in bonds, shares and other financial products. Supporters think the tax will raise billions of Euros, but critics think trading will simply move elsewhere.
欧盟已批准11位成员国引入新的税收政策，该政策专门阻止金融投机。该税收政策预计将会在债券、股票以及其他金融产品的各种交易进行征税。支持者们认为该税收政策将为欧盟筹集到数亿元资金，但是，批评家们认为交易只会因此转移至别处。
About two million people in the Chilean capital Santiago have been left without drinking water after sanitation plants were contaminated by muddy flood waters. From there, is Gideon Long.
由于净水处理厂被带有淤泥的洪水污染而没有饮用水，智利首都圣地亚哥大约二百万人离开了这座城市。Gideon Long从圣地亚哥报道。
The flood sent tons of mud flowing down rivers forcing the closure of the plants. As a result, some 600,000 families in Santiago, around a third of the city’s population have been left without water. The authorities have been distributing emergency supplies from tankers. People rushed out to buy bottled water and restaurants have been forced to close. Santiago citizens have been told only to use hospitals if they really need to. The problem could hardly have come at a worse time. This is the middle of the Chilean summer when temperatures regularly top 30℃.
洪 水顺流而下裹挟着成吨的淤泥，迫使工厂关闭，造成圣地亚哥大约60万家庭（近三分之一该市人口）无水可喝，不得不弃城而去。当局已用水箱分配紧张供应水。 人们冲向商店，购买瓶装水，饭店不得不关门停业。圣地亚哥市民们被告之，如果确实需要，他们才能住进医院。无水问题偏偏在最为糟糕的时期出现，现在是智利 的夏季，温度通常高达30℃。
