Argentina energy plan sparks clashes
阿根廷能源计划引发冲突
The prospect of a deal to develop a massive shale oil and gas field in Argentina is generating a lot of heat in the province where it lies. So much so that this protest against the possible deal to exploit the vast resources turned violent. Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets under a hail of rocks and petrol bombs from the protesters. About 5,000 demonstrators turned out to show their opposition to a tie-up between Argentine energy firm YPF and U.S.-based Chevron. The government recently eased petroleum sector rules enabling the deal worth nearly one and quarter billion dollars to go ahead.
在阿根廷开采页岩油气田的一项计划在其所在省份引发了不满,以至于抗议该大规模开采能源协议的活动演变为一场暴力 。抗议者扔了许多石块和汽油弹,警方使用催泪瓦斯和橡胶弹来回应 。大约5,000名示威者参加了活动,表达对阿根廷能源公司YPF和美国雪佛龙公司之间交易的反对 。政府最近放宽了石油行业规范,导致该价值接近12.5亿的交易得以进行 。
(SOUNDBITE)(Spanish) UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER, SAYING: "This is the government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner with the complicity of the provincial governor. This is the answer they give to the people who say no to pollution, sons of bitches." Those who oppose the development of the Vaca Muerta field face a major battle. Argentina is counting on the field to regain the energy self-sufficiency it lost a decade ago, costing millions of dollars to import supplies as a result.
未透露姓名的抗议者表示:“这是总统德基什内尔(Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner)与省长共同筹划的阴谋 。这是他们向拒绝污染的民众给出的答案 。真是混蛋!”反对Vaca Muerta油气田开发的人面临着一场重大的战争 。阿根廷期望通过该油田重新实现十年前失去的能源自给,否则必须耗费数百万美元来进口能源 。

美国总统奥巴马告诉PBS新闻一小时节目,关于是否对叙利亚动武,他还没有做出决定 。
SOUNDBITE: U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "We can take limited, tailored approaches, not getting drawn into a long conflict, not a repetition of, you know, Iraq, which I know a lot of people are worried about - but if we are saying in a clear and decisive but very limited way, we send a shot across the bow saying, stop doing this, that can have a positive impact on our national security over the long term." The Syrian government is suspected of using chemical weapons on hundreds of its own citizens last week.
美国总统奥巴马表示:“我们可以采取有限的,特定的方法,不要卷入长期的冲突,不要重复伊拉克战争的困境,我们知道,许多人担心的正是这一点——但是如果我们以明确而果断但是有限的方式,向远离我们的叙利亚传达信息:不要这样做了,这样长期来看可以对我们的国家安全产生积极的作用 。”叙利亚政府涉嫌上周对数百名百姓使用化学武器 。
SOUNDBITE: U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "So we are consulting with our allies. We're consulting with the international community. And you know, I have no interest in any kind of open-ended conflict in Syria, but we do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable." Obama said he did not believe the Syrian opposition has chemical weapons that could have been used on a scale to kill hundreds of people.
美国总统奥巴马表示:“所以,我们正在与盟国协商 。我们正与国际社会协商 。你知道,我毫无兴趣陷入与叙利亚的长期冲突,但是我们必须确保,当有些国家违反了国际武器惯例,例如对我们产生威胁的化学武器,他们就一定要负责任 。”奥巴马表示,他不相信叙利亚反对派拥有能够大范围使用,足以杀害数百人的化学武器 。
