The man convicted of the bomb attack on the Boston Marathon has apologised to the victims. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 21-year-old ethnic 1 Chechnyan, was speaking in court before he was formally sentenced to death. Gary O'Donoghue reports. 

在波士顿马拉松公赛上实施爆炸的男子向受害者致歉。21岁的Dzhokhar Tsarnaev是车臣国人，在法院正式判他死刑之前他在法庭上说的这番话。下面是格里·欧道格为您报道：

"This is the first time Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has said anything since the 2013 attack. And what he offered was an unalloyed apology. Throughout the trial, he said he'd learned the names, the faces, the ages of the victims of what he called 'a horrendous 2 attack'. He praised their patience and dignity, and asked Allah to forgive him and his brother Tamerlan. Tsarnaev is expected to appeal against his death sentence, which means he could stand on death roll for years to come."

自2013年袭击以来这是Dzhokhar Tsarnaev首次开口发言。他说纯属道歉，在整个判决过程中，他说他了解到受害者的名字、面貌和年龄。他称这次袭击为“惊骇的袭击”。他赞扬了他们的耐心和正直，祈求真主安拉宽恕他和他的哥哥塔梅尔兰(Tamerlan Tsarnaev)。察尔纳耶夫预期将会对死刑判决提起上诉，这意味着未来几年他都将位于死亡名单上。

Late night talks between the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his country's international creditors 3 have ended in Brussels with sharp differences remaining over how to resolve the debt crisis. Earlier, Euro Zone finance ministers cut short a meeting that had been meant to finalise a deal. It's thought the International Monetary 4 Fund wants the Greek government, which proposed new austerity measures and tax rises on Monday, to go further."

希腊总理齐普拉斯(Alexis Tsipras)和国际债主之间的深夜会谈在布鲁塞尔结束，关于如何解决这场债务危机各方之间仍然存在严重的分歧。早些时候，欧元区财政部长中断了旨在完成一份协议的会议。而国际货币基金组织希望打算实施新的紧缩政策的希腊能够进一步实施该政策。

Buckingham Palace has insisted that Queen Elizabeth would never make a political point following a comment she made at a state banquet in Berlin about Europe. The queen told the guests, "we know that division in Europe is dangerous, and that we must guard against it in the west, as well as in the east of our continent." Our correspondent Ben Wright is in Brussels. 

白金汉宫坚持称，伊丽莎白女王永远不会发表政治观点。此前，她在柏林的国宴上发表了关于欧洲的言论。女王向来者宣称，“我们知道欧洲分裂是危险的，我们必须防范大陆东西部地区。本台记者本·华特布鲁塞尔报道。”

"Buckingham Palace officials denied that the queen's warning about the dangers of a divided Europe was a reference to David Cameron's EU reforms or referendum. This is not about the EU, one aide said. Later today, David Cameron takes his case for a reformed EU to Brussels. It is a big moment. The prime minister has already sketched 5 out his plans to European leaders, hearing where they agree and where they don't. In the evening, he will set out his proposals during dinner. And this summit is likely to give the green light to the first stage of the formal renegotiation."

白金汉宫官员否认女王警告的关于欧洲分裂的危险指的是大卫·卡梅伦提出的欧盟改革或公投。一位助手表示，女王的评论不是关于欧盟的。当天晚些时候，大卫·卡梅伦在布鲁塞尔提出了欧盟改革提案。这是非常重大的时刻。英国首相已经起草了递交给欧洲领导人的计划，听取了他们赞同和不赞同的地方。他将在当晚的晚宴上陈述自己的提议。这次峰会可能会为正式谈判的第一阶段开通道路。
