Anger on the streets of Buenos Aires after Argentina loses to Germany. Thousands of football fans had gathered here to celebrate their team's performance in the world cup final.

阿根廷在世界杯决赛中输给德国队之后，布宜诺斯艾利斯街头一片愤怒的情绪。数千名球迷聚集在这里，庆祝他们的球队在世界杯决赛中的表现。但是0:1输给德国队之后，他们的希望变成痛苦的失望。防暴警察和年轻球迷之间发生争执。年轻人投掷石块，试图击中商铺前门，警方向他们施放催泪瓦斯。当地媒体报道称，世界杯决赛结果出炉后，冲突持续了超过三个小时，15名警察在冲突中受伤。目前为止已有超过15人被捕。
Israel mobilizes 20,000 troops for possible ground offensive
以色列调动20,000部队准备攻击
Israeli army tanks line up on the Gaza border Sunday. A ground war seems likely --- especially in the wake of reports that Israeli commandos conducted an overnight raid on Gaza. So far, at least 20,000 reservists have been mobilized. But despite intensified Israeli military action, Islamist Hamas continued to launch rockets on Israeli cities. In the Israeli city of Ashkelon, one teenager was seriously wounded after being hit with shrapnel in the head and chest.
周日，以色列军用坦克在加沙地带边境排成一线。看上去似乎会发生地面战争，尤其是有报道称以色列突击队夜间突袭加沙地带之后。目前为止已调动了20,000名后备军人。但是，尽管以色列加强军事行动，伊斯兰哈马斯仍然向以色列城市发射火箭弹。在以色列城市阿什克伦，一名青少年头部和胸部被弹片击中后深受重伤。
Israeli Deputy Minister Ofir Akunis had this to say: (SOUNDBITE) (English) ISRAELI DEPUTY MINISTER, OFIR AKUNIS, SAYING: "This is terror that wants to kill civilians, and we will handle, we will continue to handle this situation and to hit the Hamas terrorists, the Hamas terrorists, in the Gaza Strip."
以色列国会议员Ofir Akunis：“这是意图杀害平民的恐怖行动，我们将继续处理这种形势，打击加沙地带哈马斯恐怖分子。”
And in Tel Aviv, residents ran for shelter as sirens blared. Over in Gaza, the Health Ministry said at least 160 Palestinians, including about 135 civilians, have been killed in the conflict. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on the international community to protect Gaza.
在特拉维夫，警报响起时，居民们奔跑着寻找庇护。在加沙地带，卫生部长表示，包括135名平民在内的至少160名巴勒斯坦人在冲突中遇难。巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯呼吁国际社会保护加沙地带。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT, MAHMOUD ABBAS, SAYING: "Israel went deeper in everything and its offensive on the Palestinian nation should be stopped." The United Nations has called for a ceasefire.
巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯：“以色列各方面的行动越来越过分，他们对巴勒斯坦的攻击应该立即停止。”联合国呼吁双方停火。

World Cup: the winners, the losers....
He started the game on the bench. And ended scoring the goal that won Germany the World Cup. Midfielder Mario Goetze was the ultimate reward for Germany's fans. (SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMANY FAN, MICHAEL MOSER, SAYING: "It's brilliant, to be world champions in the stadium of all stadiums." (SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMANY FAN, NICO, SAYING: "It was so close but it was great." There was little for hosts Brazil to celebrate. After crashing out of the event in the semi-finals, they're left with a multi-billion dollar bill for putting it on. Tom Cannon is a business professor at Liverpool University. SOUNDBITE: TOM CANNON, PROFESSOR AT UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL, SAYING (English): "They've challenged and countered an awful lot of the critics who said there was no way they would be able to get the event together. But of course that won't silence the local critics, the people that were saying they've got their priorities wrong. In their eyes they've spent $15 billion dollars to be embarrassed in front of the world on the football field." Brazil coach Luiz Scolari has resigned. And striker Neymar is expected to make a slow recovery, after his tackle by Columbia's Juan Zuniga. But nothing could dampen Germany's mood. A jubilant German chancellor, Angela Merkel, described as the team's 'twelfth man', was basking in the glory. SOUNDBITE: TOM CANNON, PROFESSOR AT UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL, SAYING (English): "This is a moment that matters for Germany in terms of self-confidence. They have this incredible economic machine which continues to outperform in real terms the whole of Europe." The World Cup itself may be over for another four years. The transfer season has already begun. James Rodriguez possibly off to Real Madrid. And bad boy Luis Suarez signed by Barcelona for a fee thought to be a mouth-watering ￡75 million. While the jostling for sponsors goes on apace - Manchester United now reported to be signing a ￡750 million deal with Adidas after ending 13 seasons with Nike.
白宫发言:提供机会 帮助民众实现美国梦
Weekly Address: Expanding Opportunity – It’s Time for Congressional Republicans to Do Their Part
WASHINGTON, DC — In this week’s address, the President recapped his visits with folks who have written him letters about their own American stories -- their successes and struggles. While Congressional Republicans are blocking meaningful measures that would strengthen the middle class, the President continues looking for ways to grow the economy and expand opportunity for more hardworking Americans. The President again urged Congress to join him, as they were elected to do, in working on behalf of everyday Americans – including those the President spent time with this week – by investing in our infrastructure to support American jobs, and ensuring that the Highway Trust Fund does not expire.
The audio of the address and video of the address will be available online atwww.whitehouse.govat 6:00 a.m. ET, July 12, 2014.
Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
July 12, 2014
Hi, everybody. This week, I spent some time in Colorado and Texas, talking with people about what’s going on in their lives.
One of them was Elizabeth Cooper, who’ll be a college junior this fall. She wrote to tell me something I hear often: how hard it is for middle-class families like hers to afford college. And she shared something I know many of you feel when you wonder what’s going on in Washington. She said she feels “not significant enough to be addressed, not poor enough for people to worry [about], and not rich enough to be cared about.”
I ran for President to fight for Americans just like Elizabeth – people who work hard, do everything right, and just want a chance to build a decent life for themselves and their families.
And after the worst economic crisis in generations, our businesses have now created nearly 10 million new jobs over the past 52 months. The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest point since 2008. By almost every measure, our economy is better off than it was five years ago.
But while we’ve created more jobs at this point of the year than any year since 1999, too many families barely earn what they did in 1999. It’s harder to pay for college, save, or retire, because people’s wages and incomes have not gone up. Nearly all the gains of the recovery are going to the very top – and aren’t making a difference in your lives.
And I believe America does better when the middle class does better. And I’ve laid out an opportunity agenda to create jobs, train workers, educate our kids, and make sure hard work actually pays off.
These are the things we should be doing to grow the middle class and help folks work their way into the middle class. And it’s pretty uncontroversial stuff. I hope we can work together on it. And I’m always willing to compromise if folks have other ideas or if it advances generally the interests of working Americans.
But so far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class. Lifting the minimum wage, fair pay, student loan reform – they’ve said no to all of it. And that’s when I’ve acted this year to help working Americans on my own– when Congress won’t act.
I’ve taken actions to attract new jobs, lift workers’ wages, help students pay off their loans, and more. And the Republican plan right now is not to do some of this work with me – instead, it’s to sue me. That’s actually what they’re spending their time on. It’s a political stunt that’s going to waste months of America’s time. And by the way, they’re going to pay for it using your hard-earned tax dollars.
I have a better idea: do something, Congress. Do anything to help working Americans. Join the rest of the country. Join me, I'm looking forward to working with you.
You know, on Tuesday, I met with Carolyn Reed and her husband David, who own six Silver Mine Sub shops in Colorado. Two days later, they announced they’re giving their hourly employees a raise to ten dollars and ten cents an hour.
They’re not waiting for Congress. Carolyn said, “We are happy to be a part of what I hope will be a growing voluntary trend in increased wages.”
Carolyn and Americans like her all across the country are happy to do their part. Congress now needs to step up and do its part. And next week, I’ll travel to a couple of job sites to talk about how Democrats and Republicans can work together to grow the economy and protect nearly 700,000 jobs by passing a highway bill by the end of the summer.
I’m here because hardworking Americans like Elizabeth and Carolyn. That’s something I’ll never forget – it's something I’ll never stop fighting for. Thanks, and have a great weekend.
