  • China Announces More Arrests Over Chemical-Laced Milk
  • 中国宣佈逮捕更多毒奶粉涉案人
  •   China's official Xinhua news agency said Thursday that authorities have arrested 96 people suspected of adding a toxic chemical to dairy products, recalling a situation that killed six children and sickened thousands in 2008.
  • 中国官方的新华社星期四说,当局逮捕了 96 名涉嫌向奶製品中添加有毒化学成分的人;这让人回忆起 2008 年造成 6 名儿童丧生,数千儿童患病的毒奶粉问题。

  •   The agency quoted the State Council's Food Safety Commission as saying authorities have investigated 40 cases and seized more than 2,000 tons of milk powder laced with the chemical melamine since July.
  • 新华社援引中国国务院食品安全委员会的话说,自 7 月以来,当局调查了 40 起案件,查缴 2 千多吨含有叁聚氰胺的奶粉。

  •   Melamine is an industrial chemical used in the plastics industry, but it can make milk products appear to have a higher protein content.
  • 叁聚氰胺是用於塑胶行业的工业化学原料,但它可以让奶製品看起来有更高的蛋白质含量。

  •   The commission said 17 of those arrested have already been convicted, and two have been sentenced to life in prison.
  • 食品安全委员会说,被捕的人中有 17 人已被定罪,有 2 人被判处终身监禁。

  •   More than 300,000 infants were sickened in 2008 after consuming milk products tainted with melamine, which caused urinary tract infections and kidney stones.
  • 2008 年大约有 30 多万名婴儿由於吃了含有叁聚氰胺的牛奶製品而患病;叁聚氰胺引起尿路感染和肾结石。

  •   Two people were executed for the roles in the scandal, which led to worldwide recalls of the tainted products.
  • 有两人因这一丑闻被处以死刑;这起丑闻导致中国在全球各地召回含有有害物质的奶製品。

  • Gates Says Asia Trip Aimed at Avoiding New Korean Conflict
  • 盖茨说亚洲之行旨在避免韩朝再起衝突
  •   U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates says South Korea has a right to retaliate against any new North Korean attack, but that he is trying to make sure that does not become necessary.
  • 美国国防部长盖茨说,南韩有权对北韩发动的新袭击进行报復,但他正在争取使南韩不必进行报復。

  •   Gates spoke Thursday in Tokyo, after meetings with top officials in Japan during the second stop on this three-country Asian tour. He travels Friday to Seoul.
  • 在这次亚洲 3 国之行第 2 站期间,盖茨星期四在东京会晤日本高层官员后发表了这一评论。盖茨星期五将啟程前往首尔。

  •   Asked whether the United States would object to South Korean air strikes into the North, Gates said every country has a right to "defend itself against an unprovoked attack."
  • 盖茨在被问到美国是否将反对南韩对北韩发动空袭时说,每个国家都有权 “在遭到无端袭击时进行自卫”。

  •   But he said the focus of his talks this week in China and Japan has been "to prevent another provocation from happening."
  • 但他表示,他本星期在中国和日本会谈的重点是 “防止再次出现挑衅行為”。

  •   The United States has been urging Japan to play a bigger role in South Korea's defense since North Korea launched a fatal artillery attack on South Korea's Yeonpyeong Island in November.
  • 自从北韩去年 11 月对南韩延坪岛发动致命炮击以来,美国一直敦促日本在南韩防务上发挥更大的作用。

  •   To that end, Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa was in Seoul this week to discuss two military cooperation agreements, which would be the first between the two countries since Japanese colonial rule ended in 1945.
  • 為达到这一目的,日本防卫大臣北泽俊美本星期访问了首尔,讨论日韩两国的军事合作协议;这将是日本 1945 年结束对北韩半岛的殖民统治以来日韩两国首次签订军事合作协议。

  •   Japan's military reach is limited by its post-war constitution to protecting the Japanese mainland, and Thursday Gates stopped short of calling on Tokyo to do more militarily.
  • 日本军力所涉及的范围受到战后保护日本本土宪法的限制;盖茨星期四没有呼吁东京在军事上做得更多。

  •   But he did call for a review of U.S.-Japanese "force posture," and for more practical bilateral cooperation.
  • 不过他呼吁对美日 “兵力态势” 进行审核,并且展开更多实际的双边合作。
