Japan officials promote whale meat
日本议员午餐吃鲸肉 试图恢复捕鲸
This isn't your ordinary stir-fry -- it's made of whale meat. The dish is the centrepiece of a publicity lunch by the Japanese government to promote its "scientific whaling programme". Japan says hunting and eating whales is part of its culture, and officials are putting money where their mouths are.
这并不是普通的炒菜，而是用鲸肉制作的。这道菜是日本政府官员公共午餐的重点，旨在促进“科学捕鲸项目”。日本表示，捕杀和食用鲸鱼是日本文化的一部分，官员们将自己的提议付诸行动。
(SOUNDBITE) (Japanese) JAPAN'S VICE ECONOMY MINISTER, DAISHIRO YAMAGIWA, SAYING: "We've been discussing about ways to protect our food tradition, and we came to a conclusion that we, the government officials, should do something first - as it's said 'whoever suggests should start'."
日本经济副大臣DAISHIRO YAMAGIWA：“我们讨论了保护食品传统的多种方法，我们得出结论，政府官员应该带头做些什么，就像人们常说的，谁建议，谁开始。”
The country will resume the controversial programme next year despite an April ruling by the International Court of Justice saying it should stop. The new plan calls for hunting over 300 minke whales, a third of the quota for previous years.
日本将于明年恢复有争议的捕鲸项目，尽管四月份国际法庭裁决日本应该停止这种行为。新的计划呼吁捕杀超过300头小须鲸，前一年份额的三分之一。
New York state buried in snow

A state of emergency in Western New York, where residents make a last ditch effort to dig out of a snow storm that's killed at least seven people so far. It's stranding residents like Bethany Hojnacki, who was unable to make it to the hospital, and gave birth in a firehouse.
纽约西部宣布进入紧急状态，居民们正在做最后的努力，试图将这座城市从暴风雪中挖掘出来。这场暴风雪目前为止已经造成至少7人死亡。许多居民被困，例如Bethany Hojnacki。她难以去医院，只能在一所柴房内生产。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) BETHANY HOJNACKI SAYING: "Denise helped me get in the right position. Two pushes and out she came!" Officials are calling it "a year's worth of snow."
BETHANY HOJNACKI：“Denise帮我到正确的地方。两人负责推，她终于出来了。”官员们称这是相当于一年的降雪。

With a small sun break, locals are stocking up.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNIDENTIFIED RESIDENT SAYING: "Essentials, milk, juice, and beer." The snow, falling at several inches per hour, is a result of the so-called 'lake effect.'
未透露姓名的居民：“必需品，牛奶，果汁喝啤酒。”这场大雪每个小时累积几英寸的降雪，是所谓“湖泊效应”的结果。
Lake effect occurs when frigid air blows over the Great Lakes gaining moisture and then dumping snowfall on shore.
当冷空气吹过五大湖时会吸收更多水汽，然而在海岸上形成降雪，从而发生湖泊效应。
Honduras' Miss World contestant found murdered
洪都拉斯世界小姐候选人被谋杀
A beauty queen murdered... just days before the Honduran was due to compete in the Miss World pageant. Police say the bodies of 19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado and her sister Sofia were found buried near a river in the mountainous region of Santa Barbara. Police say they've also found the murder weapon. They've arrested two men in connection to the crime -- and according to the Interior Minister, one of them is the boyfriend of the beauty queen's sister. Reports say the girls were last seen leaving a party, in a car without a license plate -- a disappearance that has sent shockwaves through the city. Honduras is considered the murder capital of the world... and much to the distress of this family, their beautiful daughter has been caught in the cycle of violence.
