Pakistan bomb kills 13
巴基斯坦炸弹袭击致13人遇难
Thirteen people were killed when a bomb blew up here on the side of a road in Pakistan's city of Quetta. Eleven of the dead were security personnel and two of them were civilians. Another 16 people were wounded, and authorities say the death toll could rise. Police said the bomb contained around 100 kilograms of explosives and was apparently planted in a parked vehicle and remotely detonated.
巴基斯坦奎塔市一道路边发生炸弹袭击致13人死亡，遇难者包括11名安全人员和2名平民，另有16人受伤。当局表示死亡人数有可能继续上升。警方称炸弹内约含100公斤的炸药，很明显地安放在一停靠的车辆上，并通过远程引爆。
The wounded were rushed to hospital where relatives and colleagues mourned the loss of their loved ones. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bomb. However, separatist rebels have for decades been battling to control the region's natural gas and other resources in Pakistan's southwest. It was the second major attack since Pakistan's elections, which marked the first transition between civilian governments in the country's turbulent history.
伤者被紧急送往医院，亲戚和同事悼念失去的亲人。目前还没有组织宣称对炸弹袭击事件负责。然而在巴基斯坦西南部，为控制该地区的天然气和其它资源，分裂主义叛乱者进行了长达几十年的斗争。自巴基斯坦选举并完成国家动乱史上的首个平民政权交接以来，这是遭到的第二次大规模袭击。
Japan veteran wants justice for "comfort women"
日本老兵望为“慰安妇”伸张正义
Masayoshi Matsumoto joined the Japanese army in 1943 and went to China as a medical orderly. One of his tasks was to examine Korean women brought in to work in a military brothel.
1943年，正义松本参加日本军队，并以卫生员的身份去过中国。他的任务之一是检查带到一军事妓院的韩国妇女。
91-YEAR-OLD JAPANESE VETERAN MASAYOSHI MATSUMOTO, SAYING: "The comfort women had to go for sexual health checks, you could say it was their job to do it -- just as it was my job to check them. There was no choice in the matter. To refuse would have been a death sentence." Historians estimate that as many as 200,000 so-called comfort women were forced into prostitution by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War Two. Matsumoto who is 91 and a Christian pastor says it is now his mission to speak out about the injustices suffered by Asian women.
91岁的日本老兵正义松本说：“慰安妇必须接受性健康检查，你可以说这是她们的工作，就像我的工作是检查她们一样，但没有选择的余地，如果你拒绝就会被判死刑。”历史学家估计，二战期间多达20万的慰安妇被迫为日本帝国军队提供性服务。正义松本现年91岁，是一名基督教的牧师，他说揭露亚洲女性遭受过的不公是他的使命。
91-YEAR-OLD JAPANESE VETERAN MASAYOSHI MATSUMOTO, SAYING: "The Prime Minister should apologise fully and without reservation on behalf of the Japanese nation. And the people that need compensation should be paid. He should beg forgiveness for the things that were done." The comfort women issue has long been a diplomatic thorn between Japan and South Korea Last week the Mayor of Osaka sparked a firestorm of criticism at home and abroad when he said the military brothel system was "necessary" during World War Two.
91岁的日本老兵正义松本说：“首相应该代表日本民族无条件地全权道歉，支付那些需要补偿的人。对自己的所作所为他应该乞求宽恕。”长期以来，慰安妇问题一直是日韩两国的外交症候。上周大阪市长发表言论，称军事妓院体系在二战期间是“必要的”，此举引发国内外的强烈批评。
Garden pests as tasty treats
萝卜白菜 各有所爱
They're a curse for most gardeners. But a snail invasion on this ornamental plant farm in Colombia gave its owners a new business idea - snail production for overseas culinary markets. Easier said than done - the molluscs are sensitive to even slight changes in their diet or environment. And snail farming isn't popular in Colombia says co-owner, Armando Rey.
对于大多数园丁，它们是诅咒的对象。但在哥伦比亚一观赏植物农场，蜗牛的入侵给农场主带来了新的经营理念——为海外烹饪市场生产蜗牛。说起来容易做起来难——软体动物生性敏感，即使饮食或环境发生轻微改变（也会影响到它们）。加之蜗牛养殖在哥伦比亚并不普遍，合伙人阿曼德雷伊说。
Armando Rey, co-owner, Carey Investment, saying (Spanish): "We had to do all the research: how they're raised, how we improve stages, how we change them. It's a passion because one doesn't get a lot of information and we're doing it by experience and not by books, but by the experience that we're developing here." Launched in 2005, the company now produces four tons of meat a month - that's about 200,000 snails. Some of their biggest customers are in Europe where the economic recession has hurt the snail business. But, they are still growing slowly, says co-owner, Mariela Forero.
凯里投资合伙人阿曼德雷伊说(西班牙语)：“我们要在各方面做研究，包括如何培养，如何提高分期，如何改变它们。这全凭热情，因为没有大量的信息，我们是靠经验而不是照本宣科，我们靠经验在这里发展。”公司成立于2005年，现在每月生产4吨蜗牛肉约20万只蜗牛。公司最大的客户是在欧洲，但因经济衰退蜗牛行业受到影响。但合伙人马列拉表示销量仍在缓慢增长。
Mariela Forero, co-owner, Carey Investment, saying (Spanish): "Our product has moved like a snail, slowly getting into position. People order more each time and it has been very satisfying for us to know that in Canada, France, Spain, Japan, China, people have tried them and they've given our product rave reviews." So next time you order escargot, it might come from a farm in Colombia.
凯里投资合伙人马列拉说(西班牙语)：“我们的生产就像蜗牛一样前行，慢慢的回归正轨。每次，客户定的量更多了，在加拿大、法国、西班牙、日本、中国，人们已经尝试食用它们而且好评如潮，我们非常满意。”所以下次你点一份蜗牛大餐时，它可能就是来自哥伦比亚的一个农场。
