Entrepreneurs Bring Change to World　(1/2)

The original French word entrepreneur refers to someone who undertakes, who does something. entrepreneur are soon(assume) business risk or bring new product to market. The *(their innovations) sometimes change the world. Henry Ford did not invent the auto*(automobile) , but his assembly line revolutionized lies in mini fatory(manufacturing) and made cars affordable. Bill Gates is perhaps the best known entrepreneur. He did not invent personal computers but his operating system made them easy to use and brought computing to millions. G professor of American University says the Internet with its capacity to instentanionsly(instantaneously) to convey information to anyone, anywhere is an extraodinary platform for entrepreneurs. Google became a verb within 24 hours after it became a thing. So, it is incredibly entrepreneurial.

Today his C list is a free alternative to the classified ads that have been a major source of earnings for newspapers.

企业家这个单词是来自于法语。它指的是那些能预测商业危机和把新产品推向市场的人。他们的发明有时候能改变世界。H没有发明汽车，但是他的自动生产线使得更多的汽车为人所接受。比尔盖兹或许是最著名的企业家。他没有发明个人电脑，但是他的操作系统使得个人电脑更容易使用，并将电子化推广向更多人。美国大学新闻学教授Wendell Cochran 说，互联网拥有即时将信息传递到任何地方的任何人的功能，是企业家最非凡的平台。“从有了Google这个网站以后差不多在24小时之内它就变成了一个动词。所以说，互联网真是令人难以置信。 ”13年前，旧金山企业家Craig Newmark 为他工作的代理公司创建了一个在线公告牌。今天，他的Craig清单已经成为一个免费分类广告网站，分类广告一直是报纸的主要收入来源。

Obama: US Must End 'Single-Minded' Focus on Iraq　(2/2)

民主党准总统候选人还宣称使用所有管理国家的工具以阻止伊朗发展核武器。

奥巴马的演讲立即带来共和党准总统候选人，参议员麦凯恩的迅速回应。麦凯恩批评奥巴马提出针对伊拉克和阿富汗的战略，而还没有去咨询这两个国家的地方官员。

“我注意到他今天说了他关于伊拉克和阿富汗的计划，这时他还没有离开，他还没有与Patreis将军会谈，他还没有我们在伊拉克所取得的进展，他还没有第一次进入阿富汗。以我的经验，发现事实最好的办法恰恰相反。首先，你评估当地的实际情况，然后你才能提出新的战略。”

麦凯恩是布什政府对伊拉克增兵战略的长期支持者。他说，在阿富汗也要这么做。麦凯恩在新墨西哥州对他的听从说，他知道怎样赢得战争，他的从军经验将使他成为更好的军队总司令。

White House, Press Remember Tony Snow　(2/2)

It was a bit of showmanship,combined with an in*( inquisitive ) spirit that led to packed ~~the~~ briefing rooms during his tensure and some spirited of spurring(sparring) with reporters.

一点表演力，使TS在任职期间在记者会上和记者问答时候表现得很活跃

Tony Snow was treated for colon cancer a year before taking the job.Ten months into his tensure, the disease returned. He left for about 5 weeks from(of) treatment when he came back it was evident ~~that~~ the disease was taking his(its) top(toll).In Sep. of last year,he resigned and called his last briefing.

TS在接受这份工作前就已经接受了癌症的治疗，10个月之前，他的病又复发。他离开了5个星期再回来的时候就发现癌细胞已经占据了他的身体。在去年9月，他辞职。

This job has been the most fun I have ever had, the most satisfying for filling(fulfilling) job. I am sorry have to leave it.But I've gotta to say it's been a real honor and pleasure to work with everybody in this room.

这个工作给我带来了最大的欢乐，从工作中的得到的最大的满足，我很遗憾我必须得离开。但是我要说的是和在房子里的每一个人工作是我的荣幸和快乐。

He got a standing ovation that day,not just in the press room,but from the entire White House instead(stuff).
他收到了不仅仅来自新闻发布社，而是来自整个白宫的赞扬。

Just hours after his passing. Vice President Dick Cheney taped an appearance on the television talk show Snow once hosted.He told the Fox News sunday program,that Tony Snow was a one-of-a kind press secretary.
在他死后几小时，副总统DC出现在S曾主持过的电视访谈上。他告诉FOX周日新闻栏目说TS是一等一的新闻发言人。

参考译文：
一些演技,加上一点好奇精神使托尼斯诺在职期间让成堆的记者会在与记者们激烈的问答当中变得特别活跃。

托尼斯诺在一年前治愈了癌症之后接任此工作。但他工作了10个月后，癌症再次侵袭斯诺。

他为了治疗癌症离开了将近五个星期。但他重回白宫的时候，显然癌症吞噬着他的身体。去年9月，斯诺举行最后一次记者会，并宣布辞职。

“这份工作是我做过最有意思的，最让人满意的，最有成就感的工作。所以，虽然我很抱歉，但我必须离开。但我不得不说的是，能够和这里的工作人员共同工作，是我莫大的荣幸，我也非常享受。”

全体人员起立并对他致以热烈鼓掌，不只是发布会里的人们，而且还有整个白宫的工作人员。

在他去世仅几个小时后，副总统切尼就录制了一段视频，发布在托尼曾经主持过的电视脱口秀里。他对Fox周日新闻节目说，托尼斯诺是独一无二的新闻发言人。

White House, Press Remember Tony Snow　(1/2)
( 本次听写177词 )

The sense of lose(loss) was evident in President Bush's vioce as he spoke of the passing of his former press sacreatary and firend. I came to know Tony as a very smart and capable man, He has a good values and he is an honesty guy. And you know, he, uh, had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved to laugh, he loved his country, and he loved his family. Snow had another love. Even on his last day at the White House with(when) the new(thinning) hair and *(gaunt) face, of the(a) cancer patient were so evident, he is dressed(stressed) how much he loved his job. Everybody talks about what a horrible job it is to brief the press, but I love these briefings. Tony Snow had two careers that somehow entertained twice(intertwined). He served two presidents both the current President Bush and his father G H. W Bush. And both before and between his in(stints at) the White House, he is(was) a journalist He brought the skills of a newspaper columnist and talk-show host to the press secretary's office.

当布什总统谈及他的前任新闻秘书和好友的时候，在他的声音中失落的感觉很明显。“我知道托尼是一个聪明又有能力的人。”布什总统说，“他有好的价值观。他是一个诚实的家伙。他非常幽默。他爱笑。他爱他的国家并且爱他的家庭。”斯诺还有另一个爱。甚至在他最后一天在白宫当时这个癌症病人稀疏头发和憔悴面容是非常明显的。他强调他是多么爱他的工作。“每个人说简述过去人是一个很糟的工作。但是我喜欢这些摘要！”托尼斯诺有两个职业并且不知怎么的就纠缠在一起了。他为两个总统服务过——现任的布什总统和他的父亲George H. W. Bush。并且在他到白宫之前，他是一名记者。他为新闻秘书办公室带来了新闻专栏和脱口秀主持的技能。

参考译文
当布什总统在讲话中提到他的新闻发言人兼好友去世的消息时，他的声音里明显透露出了若有所失的悲伤。

他说：“我所认识的托尼是个充满智慧而且很有能力的人。他品德高尚，是个诚实的人。他幽默。他爱笑；他爱他的家人爱这片土地。”

还有托尼·斯诺更深爱的东西。即便实在他在白宫的最后一天（当时托尼稀落的头发和瘦削脸庞都表明了这是一位癌症患者），他表达了自己多么地深爱着他的工作：“尽管许多人会说做媒体发言人是个多糟糕的工作，但我就是喜欢这些简报！”

托尼曾有两份职业，而两者又密不可分。他服务过两代总统：分别是现任总统布什和他的父亲乔治·W·布什。而从他在白宫任职前以来，他都是一位记者。

他把报刊专栏记者和脱口秀主持人的技巧带入了白宫新闻发言人的角色之中。

Zimbabwe's Political Parties Meet in S. Africa on Future Negotiations　(2/2)
( 本次听写173词 )

虽然所有政党都同意前景应该是组建联盟临时政府，但是maroleng 说，到达这步是极为困难的。一方面，总统Robert mugage 坚持认为只有被MDC认可才是合法地当选，并因而拥有权利来组建内阁。但是MDC则主张从3月那次被认为非常公平自由的选举中获胜后，他们已经拥有了组建和决定内阁的权利。mugabe的ZANU-PF 正在焦急地协商之中，以避免被动接受本周联盟的决定。但是maroleng先生警告说，如果mugabe 不在pretoria的初步和谈中如愿以偿，对制裁的恐惧将被愤怒湮灭，并导致政治影响力的丧失，以及反对党和民众的压力。

参考译文

While all the parties seem to have agreed that the way forward may be a transitional government of national unity, Maroleng says achieving that is going to be extremely difficult.
尽管各党派看似赞同建立一个民族团结的过渡政府是结束当前困局之道,Maroleng却认为要达成该项成果并非易事.

"On the one hand President Robert Mugabe insists on being recognized by the MDC as being legitimately elected and therefore having the right to convene such a government," he said. "While the MDC would argue that since they won the elections that were viewed to be largely free and fair on the the 29th of March, they should actually have the right to convene and determine the composition of a government of national unity."
他说道,一方面穆加贝总统要求得到民革运的认可并承认其选举的合法性,因而有权组建这样一个政府.另一方面民革运争辩他们在三月29日自由公平地赢得了选举,他们才有权组建并决定民族团结的政府的结构.

Mr. Mugabe's ZANU-PF has been anxious to get negotiations under way, perhaps to prevent the adoption this week of United Nations sanctions.
执政党非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线迫不及待地寻求协商的结果,也许是为了阻止本周联合国通过对其的制裁决议.

But Maroleng cautions that if Mr. Mugabe does not get his way at the preliminary talks in Pretoria, the fear of sanctions may be overcome by anger and lead to a total disengagement by his ZANU-PF party, followed by increased suppression of the opposition and civil society.
但Maroleng警示道,如果穆加贝未能在比勒陀利亚的初次对话中如愿以偿,对制裁的恐惧将使得执政党非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线被愤怒所淹没并将导致其政治势力的彻低丧失,随之而来的还有来自反对党和民间社会的压制.

一些癌症专家相信那些医生未必给K动手术，他们说可能的治疗是放疗和化疗。但是化学治疗对于脑癌是复杂的因为脑部血管保护的原因，阻止了一些化学成份进入大脑，包括一些药。
化疗前些年对脑癌提高了不少，新方法和仪器能极其集中的治疗很少伤害到健康组织。
对脑癌的研究也包括药物，2005一种叫T的药显示对脑癌患者能延长一些时间寿命，研究者正在研究一种叫A的药，通常用来治疗胸结肠和肺癌，它通过阻断血液流动停止生长来饿死癌。

肯尼迪所患的脑癌难以治疗
一些肿瘤专家认为，医生可能将不给参议员肯尼迪做手术，而可能采用放疗和化疗。但是由于血-脑屏障的保护作用，用化学疗法医治脑癌很复杂。血-脑屏障能阻止某些化学分子进入大脑，包括许多化学药物。

用放射法治疗脑癌在最近几年有所提高。新方法和仪器能准确定位，几乎不可能伤害到健康的组织。

对脑癌的研究同样包括药物治疗。2005年，一种叫替莫唑胺（抗肿瘤药物）的新药能使脑癌患者的生命延长几个月。并且，研究者们正在探讨抗癌药--阿瓦斯汀的使用范围。该药已经用于治疗乳腺癌，结肠癌和肺癌。它能阻断对肿瘤的生长至关重要的血液供应。

美国每年大约新增1万名胶质瘤患者。一半的人在15个月内死亡。年龄大的人更容易得恶性胶质瘤。特德•肯尼迪现在76岁了。周一，他还参加了马萨诸塞州帆船比赛的下半段赛程，在五人一组的比赛中位列第二。
