Pope Benedict Begins US Visit (1/2)



 大意
Pope arrived the US.


 听写
Pope Benedict arrived at Andrew’s Air Force Base outside Washington having directly addressed one of the toughest issues facing him during his first papalP visit to the United States. On the flight from Rome, Benedict said the scandal involving sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests has caused great suffering for the church in America and for him personally. The Pope says he is deeply ashamed by the scandal, and thate pedophiles will be banned from ministry. The church has paid at least 2 billion dollars to victims of abuse and hundreds of priests have been removed. Monsignor Kevin Irwin, the dean of the School of Philology Theologyof at CatholicUniversity says it will take a long time for wounds to heal. “No one can solve that crisis. It’s gonna be a lot of time, and a lot of wounds and a lot of crier prayer and a lot of modificationmortification. In one once sense this crisis is has brought to the church back to its origins. We have to be a humble, pilgrim church.” President and Mrs. Bush along with their daughter Jenna made the unusual gesture of greeting Pope Benedict at the Air Force Base, the first time the President has welcomed a foreign leader there.

 翻译
教皇B到达了华盛顿外的A空军基地。在他的首次访美中他直接提到了他面临的最棘手的事情。B在从罗马起飞的飞机上说，天主教牧师的儿童性虐待丑闻极大的伤害了美国的教堂，以及他个人。教皇说他为这个丑闻深深抱歉，亵童将被禁止。教堂已经向受害者赔偿了20多亿美元，几百名牧师没开除。M是天主教大学理论学院院长，他说痊愈需要很长时间。“没人能解决这个危机。会花很长时间，会有很多伤害，很多祈祷，很多禁欲。从某种意义上说这个危机让教堂反思自己的本质。教堂必须谦逊神圣。”布什携妻子和女儿J以不同以往的姿态在空军基地会见了B教皇，这是总统首次在空军基地会见外国领导人。


 总结
最近学了很多和教皇有关系的词儿……
