He was given a standing 1 envision by supporters, but many other MPs spoke 2 out angrily against the EU package.
就在几分钟前，希腊议员们通过了由欧盟施加的一系列严厉的援助条件，布鲁塞尔称议会必须接受其要求，然后才能就希腊经济的新援助方案进行谈判。在对赞成票的最后呼吁中，总理阿列克西斯·齐普拉斯反复表示他并不相信这些措施，但除了接受外别无选择。支持者们对他起立鼓掌，但很多其他议员表示反对欧盟的方案。
The US President Barack Obama has stressed that the deal reached on Tuesday over Iran’s nuclear program presents an once-in-a-lifetime chance for a safer world. Under the agreement, strict limits will be imposed on Iran’s nuclear activities in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions. Jon Sopel reports from Washington.
美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马强调称，周二就伊朗核项目达成的协议对于促成更安全的世界来说是个千载难逢的机会，伊朗核活动将被施以严格的限制，交换条件是取消影响其经济的制裁措施。乔恩·苏帕尔在华盛顿报道。
"Almost more striking than what President Obama said at his news conference about the Iran deal was the tune 3 in which he said it. He came out swinging, confident in his argument, all the fact seemingly at his fingertips, came to make the case that on the central goal of stopping Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, this agreement had to be supported. The president has said there’ll be a robust 4 debate with the Congress. It looks like one he’s going to relish 5.”
“在新闻发布会上比奥巴马总统所说内容更惊人的是他说话的语调，他自信发表言论的样子似乎一切尽在掌握，都在说明为阻止伊朗获得核武器，必须支持这样的论断。总统称国会将会进行激烈的辩论，而且似乎他很期待这样的辩论。”
Militia 6 fighters in Yemen backed by Saudi-led airstrikes have driven Houthi rebels out of much of the southern city of Adem. The new offensive in support of the exiled president Abdu Rabbu Mansour Haddi was launched on Tuesday. Sebastian A reports.
在沙特空袭支持下的也门民兵武装将胡塞叛军从南部城市亚丁市大部分区域驱赶走，这次为了支持流亡总统哈迪的新进攻是周二开始的。塞巴斯蒂安·亚瑟报道。
"This has clearly been the biggest setback 7 the Houthis have suffered since the Saudis began an air campaign against them in support of president Haddi in March. The success of the local militias 8 in the new offensive may be due to the fact that they’ve received better arms recently from the Gulf 9 supporters and being boosted by Saudi trained fighters. The Saudi-led coalition 10 has also coordinated 11 closely with them in its airstrikes. The Houthis have lost the airport, much of the port and other key districts. But there are many other battle grounds in Yemen. Adem was always a very long way from a Houthi's heartland in the north."
“这显然是自三月份沙特为支持总统哈迪进行空袭以来胡塞叛军遭遇的最大措施，当地民兵之所以能在这次进攻中取得胜利，可能是因为他们从海湾支持者那里得到更好的武器，还得到沙特培训的武装分子的支持。以沙特为首的联盟还在空袭中与他们紧密配合，胡塞叛军已经失去了机场，港口的大部分，以及其他关键地区。但也门还有其他许多战场，亚丁距离北部胡塞叛军的腹地很远。”

"After yesterday’s dramatic flyby, there was high anticipation 22 for this presentation. The first pin shot view of the enigmatic little planet at the edge of our solar system. The invited university audience was an informed one. But even they were drawn 23 to a gasp 24 and clapped at every new image. The big surprise is how few the craters 25 are seen, something you would expected in old surfaces. This means this world may still be active, reshaping themselves through some process that is yet to be explained."
“经过昨天的戏剧性飞掠，人们对这些图片的呈现抱有很高的期待。这是我们太阳系边缘上这颗神秘星球的首批清晰图片，被邀请来的大学观众们知识渊博，但即使是他们也急于抢着看每张新图片，最令人吃惊的是上面的陨石坑很少，与过去看的星球表面不同，这意味着这个世界仍很活跃，通过尚无法解释的过程继续塑造自身。”
