  • China Announces More Arrests Over Chemical-Laced Milk
  • 中國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.
  • 中國官方的新華社星期四說,當局逮捕了 96 名涉嫌向奶製品中添加有毒化學成分的人;這讓人回憶起 2008 年造成 6 名兒童喪生,數千兒童患病的毒奶粉問題。

  •   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.
  • 新華社援引中國國務院食品安全委員會的話說,自 7 月以來,當局調查了 40 起案件,查繳 2 千多噸含有三聚氰胺的奶粉。

  •   Melamine is an industrial chemical used in the plastics industry, but it can make milk products appear to have a higher protein content.
  • 三聚氰胺是用於塑膠行業的工業化學原料,但它可以讓奶製品看起來有更高的蛋白質含量。

  •   The commission said 17 of those arrested have already been convicted, and two have been sentenced to life in prison.
  • 食品安全委員會說,被捕的人中有 17 人已被定罪,有 2 人被判處終身監禁。

  •   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 年大約有 30 多萬名嬰兒由於吃了含有三聚氰胺的牛奶製品而患病;三聚氰胺引起尿路感染和腎結石。

  •   Two people were executed for the roles in the scandal, which led to worldwide recalls of the tainted products.
  • 有兩人因這一醜聞被處以死刑;這起醜聞導致中國在全球各地召回含有有害物質的奶製品。

  • Gates Says Asia Trip Aimed at Avoiding New Korean Conflict
  • 蓋茨說亞洲之行旨在避免韓朝再起衝突
  •   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.
  • 美國國防部長蓋茨說,南韓有權對北韓發動的新襲擊進行報復,但他正在爭取使南韓不必進行報復。

  •   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.
  • 在這次亞洲 3 國之行第 2 站期間,蓋茨星期四在東京會晤日本高層官員後發表了這一評論。蓋茨星期五將啟程前往首爾。

  •   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."
  • 蓋茨在被問到美國是否將反對南韓對北韓發動空襲時說,每個國家都有權 “在遭到無端襲擊時進行自衛”。

  •   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,他本星期在中國和日本會談的重點是 “防止再次出現挑釁行為”。

  •   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.
  • 自從北韓去年 11 月對南韓延坪島發動致命炮擊以來,美國一直敦促日本在南韓防務上發揮更大的作用。

  •   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.
  • 為達到這一目的,日本防衛大臣北澤俊美本星期訪問了首爾,討論日韓兩國的軍事合作協議;這將是日本 1945 年結束對北韓半島的殖民統治以來日韓兩國首次簽訂軍事合作協議。

  •   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.
  • 日本軍力所涉及的範圍受到戰後保護日本本土憲法的限制;蓋茨星期四沒有呼籲東京在軍事上做得更多。

  •   But he did call for a review of U.S.-Japanese "force posture," and for more practical bilateral cooperation.
  • 不過他呼籲對美日 “兵力態勢” 進行審核,並且展開更多實際的雙邊合作。
