发现听口语表达还是有相当的难度,象最后美国国务院发言人的讲话, 似乎句式比写的还复杂,大概还是随意性多些.
1) The US military says nearly 162,000 American troops are now in Iraq, more than any other stage of the war. A Defense Department spokesman said new troop arrivals are temporally raising the number of US forces, above the 161,000 who help secure the 2005 Iraqi elections. The spokesman said the number of troops would fluctuate up from 156,000 in the coming month as troops rotate in and out of their deployments.
2) The Prime Minister of Iraq Nuri al-Maliki and of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan have agreed to step up cooperation in the fight against Kurdish separatists in northern Iraq. The agreement was announced during talks in Turkey’s capital Ankara. Dorian Jones has this report for VOA.

Ankara has been demanding that Iraq take action to halt attacks by rebels of or the Kurdish Workers’PartyPKK, who’ve killed dozens of Turkish soldiers over the past year. Ankara says the PKK has been using bases in northern Iraq to launch attacks inside Turkey. After a four-hour meeting, Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said they had agreed to step up cooperation to halt the attacks. He said the two leaders reached an agreement on a stronger more effective effort. Political observers say Turkey’s been boosting its troops alone the border with northern Iraq, and was expected to warn Iraqi leaders that Turkey’s patience is running out. Turkey has frightened to stage an incursion into northern Iraq to deal with PKK, which’s been fighting for autonymy in Turkey’s mainly Kurdish Southeast since 1984. The US and Iraq say the Turkish cross border operation could destabilize Iraq’s relatively calm Kurdish north. Dorian Jones, the VOA news, Istanbul.
3) Diplomats say Russia has warned it’ll not deliver fuel to a Russian-build nuclear reactor in Iran unless Iran clears up questions about its nuclear activities. Unnamed diplomats said Tuesday Russia issued the warning last month. Construction at the Bushehr plant is already behind schedule because of payment disputes. Iran said Tuesday it hopes its willingness to grant UN inspectors’ access to its most sensitive nuclear site will prevent a third set of UN sanctions. Here in Washington State Department spokesman Tom Casey remained unconvinced.

Until they've complied with the full length of what’s been asked of them what’s required under them under the international law, it’s pretty hard to see, how they’re gonna get any partial credit for making gestures towards some cooperation.
The UN team arrived in Iran this week to develop a plan for future inspections.
