孟加拉国主要反对派开始罢工
Bangladesh's main opposition party -- the BNP -- launched a three-day strike on Sunday. It's demanding a caretaker government during the nation's upcoming national elections. Former Prime Minister and Party chairperson Khaleda Zia says there'll be no election while the current Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, is still in charge. BNP Joint Secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi:
孟加拉国主要反对派民族主义党(Bangladesh Nationalist Party,BNP)于周日开始了为期三天的大罢工。他们要求在即将到来的全国选举之前组建看守政府。前总理和党派领导人卡莉达·齐亚(Khaleda Zia)表示，如果由现任总理哈希纳(Sheikh Hasina)掌权，将不可能举行选举。BNP联合秘书Ruhul Kabir Rizvi表达了立场。
SOUNDBITE JOINT SECRETARY OF THE BNP RUHUL KABIR RIZVI SAYING: "Begum Khaleda Zia has called for a 60-hour strike. This strike has been called to demand the setting up of an independent and impartial government. We have been demanding for a long time but [the] government has not accepted it."
BNP联合秘书RUHUL KABIR RIZVI：“我们的领导人卡莉达·齐亚(Khaleda Zia)要求进行60个小时的罢工。这次罢工是为了要求组建独立公正的政府。我们曾经要求长时间的罢工，但是政府没有接受。”
The ruling Awami League Party has decided to oppose the strike, by organizing its own rallies. The mounting tension threatens Bangladesh's $22 billion garment export industry. It's the economic lifeblood of this developing nation of 160 million people; a country that's already been rocked by a string of deadly factory accidents over the past year.
执政党人民联盟党(Awami League)决定组织自己的集会来反对这次罢工。不断加剧的紧张形势威胁着孟加拉国价值220亿美元的服装出口行业。这关系到这个发展中国家1.6亿人口的生计。过去的一年，由于一系列致命的工厂事故，这个国家已经倍受打击。
Hundreds march in Washington against NSA spying
华盛顿举行抗议活动反对监控
Several thousand protesters in the U.S. marched to the D.C. Capitol, demanding a limit to the government's surveillance programmes. Some of the demonstrators held banners in support of Edward Snowden, the former contractor who revealed the extent of the National Security Agency's spying activities. The march attracted protesters across the political spectrum.
美国几百名抗议者前往特区国会大厦，要求限制政府监控项目。一些示威者高举支持司诺登的横幅。司诺登曾是国家安全局雇员，他披露了该机构的间谍行动。游行吸引了政治界诸多抗议者的加入。
(SOUNDBITE)(English) MICHAEL GREENE, ANTI-SURVEILLANCE PROTESTER, SAYING: "I'm outraged like most people here at the mass surveillance that's going on and people just don't seem to be upset about it. It's blatantly unconstitutional."
反监控抗议者MICHAEL GREENE：“我和大部分人一样对正在进行的大规模监控项目感到愤怒，而人们似乎并没有对此感到心烦意乱。这是公然违反宪法规定的行为。”
The demonstration was organized by a coalition known as "Stop Watching Us", that consists of around 100 public advocacy groups and individuals urging Congress to reform the way the NSA gathers intelligence. But despite these protests, the Obama administration says gathering online data secretly is crucial in protecting the U.S. and thwarting militant plots.
示威活动由“不要监控我们”联盟组织。该联盟包含大约100个维权组织和个人，敦促国会改革国家安全局收集情报的方式。但是尽管抗议不断，奥巴马政府却表示，秘密收集在线数据对于保护美国，粉碎激进分子的阴谋是非常关键的。
