- The U.S.-based company announced on its blog this week that it has not yet used the system, but that if it does, a notice will appear to the user saying the Twitter post -- known as a "tweet" -- has been removed in order to comply with the law of the country in which the user is operating.

- 推特新的做法与它一年前发佈的一个声明形成鲜明对比；这个叫做 “推文一定要流动” 的声明承诺不会过滤推特资讯；推特帮助推动了多个中东国家的反政府运动。
- In its latest announcement, Twitter said as it grows internationally, it is entering countries that have different ideas about the limits of freedom of expression.
- 推特在最新的声明中说，随着公司的日益国际化，它正在进军对言论自由界限有不同理解的国家。
- It said the laws are such that it cannot exist in some countries at all, while other nations are similar to the U.S. but restrict certain topics.

- It gave the examples of France and Germany, where pro-Nazi speech is banned.

- US Economy Grew Faster in Late 2011
- 美国经济 2011 年第四季度增长加速
- The U.S. economy, the world's largest, grew at its fastest pace in a year-and-a-half in late 2011, but questions remain whether the advance will continue in coming months.
- 世界最大经济体美国 2011 年底的经济出现了一年半以来最快的增长速度；不过，这样的增速在今后几个月能否持续下去仍然存有疑问。
- The U.S. government said Friday the country's national economic output increased 2.8 percent in the October-to-December period, a bit below the 3 percent estimate economists had projected.
- 美国政府星期五说，去年 10 月到 12 月间，美国国民经济產出增长了 2.8 %，略低於经济学家预估的 3 %。
- But the fourth quarter advance was the best of the year and the quickest pace since the April-to-June period in 2010.
- 但是，第四季度的增长速度仍是全年最好的，也是 2010 年第二季度以来最快的。
- For the year, the U.S. economy grew just 1.7 percent, after expanding 3 percent in 2010.
- 2011 全年美国经济的增速為 1.7 %，2010 年的增速為 3 %。
- The government said the fourth quarter advance was boosted by companies rebuilding their inventories, and heightened consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the national economy.
- 政府表示，公司扩充库存以及消费者支出增加促进了第四季度的经济增长；消费者支出在美国经济中的比重佔 70 %。
- But some of the spending came as Americans cut their savings rate.
- 不过在消费者增加开支的同时，他们的储蓄率在下降。
- While analysts said the American economy ended 2011 on a reasonably positive note, the advance could slow in the first months of 2012.
- 一些分析人士说，美国经济在 2011 年底出现了相对积极的结果，但是，这种增长可能会在 2012 年头几个月出现放缓。
- With inventories rebuilt, businesses could ease their spending, and the U.S. is faced with a stalled economy throughout Europe, which could limit exports to one of its major trading partners.
- 企业在扩充库存后可能会减少支出；与此同时，美国还面临欧洲整体经济停滞的局面，这可能会限制美国对欧洲这个主要贸易伙伴的出口。
- The U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve, this week forecast the country's 2012 economic growth at 2.2 to 2.7 percent, a slightly lower projection than it made just two months ago.
