Banks in Greece are reopening for the first time in three weeks after the Greek parliament passed austerity measures last week as part of a bailout plan. Some restrictions 1 remain in place as Mark Lowen now reports from Athens.

希腊议会通过作为财政紧急救助一部分的紧缩性财政政策后，希腊银行在关闭三个星期后重新营业。根据本台记者马克·罗文报道，银行一些限制仍然保留。下面是罗文雅典报道：

A daily withdrawal 2 limit has become a weekly one, capped at 420 euros. No checks can be cashed, no new accounts opened, and there's a block on capital transfers abroad. Meanwhile, restaurants and taxis will fill hit today, as VAT 3 rises from 13% to 23%. With austerity measures passed and the deal with creditors 4 reached, Greece will be able to access emergency funding to make a large repayment 5 to the European Central Bank today, avoiding the threat of default. Further hurdles 6 lie ahead though, including moral reforms to pass in parliament on Wednesday.

之前限制每天取钱变成限制每周取一次钱，每次取钱最高额度为420欧元。任何支票都不能兑现，不能开新的账户，海外转移资产也有限制。与此同时，由于增值税由13%上升到23%，餐饮业和出租今天状况不佳。随着紧缩政策的实施和债权国救助的到来，希腊今天将能得到救助资金偿还欧洲中央银行，避免对央行违约的威胁。前方仍有阻碍，因为周三议会要通过道德改革。

Mr. Zhu said the ability was essential in markets, and the Chinese regulators had learned from Britain and the US on how best to deal with market turbulence 13.

A labyrinth 24 of second world war tunnels built beneath the white cliffs of Dover opens to the public today, after lying forgotten for decades. The tunnels known as the Fine Bay Deep Shelter, were related to fill with rubble 25. They have now been cleared by hand by volunteers. Rebecca Drought has this report.

二战期间建在多佛白崖下的迷宫隧道沉寂了数十年后于今天对外开放。这条隧道名为Fine Bay Deep Shelter，以铺满碎石著称。现在这些碎石已由志愿者亲手打扫。下面是瑞贝卡报道：

The white cliffs of Dover are enduring images of the war, but 75 feet below ground the Fine Bay Deep Shelter is a reminder 26 that they were also the British front line. The tunnels rediscovered after the National Trust bought the land. Winston Churchill ordered the construction in 1940 after it was set to be in range to see German shipping 27 moving freely in the Channel. They provided accommodation for soldiers who mount the gun battery above. The excavation 28 also uncovered two rare first world war concrete sound mirrors, which was said to have given anonymity 29 warning that the enemy aircraft were approaching.
