Welcome to the Voice of America’s “News Words”.
欢迎收听美国之声“新闻词汇”。
In the United States, the freedom to say what you think is an important right.
在美国，说出想法的自由是一项重要的权利。
Listen to this story about a Pakistani group fighting to open the Internet:
请听下面一则关于一个巴基斯坦团体争取开放网络的新闻：
Activist Forhan Hussein of the media advocacy group Bytes for All says his group is involved in two court cases against the government for its censorship and surveillance activities.
媒体倡议组织“人民的字节”活动家法罕·侯赛因说，他的组织被卷入两个反对政府的审查和监视活动的诉讼案中。
“Censorship” means someone or something, usually a government, restricts information.
“审查”的意思是某人或某事，通常是政府，限制信息流通。
Books, movies, letters, or Internet websites are reviewed and items thought to be offensive often are banned.
书籍，电影，信件，或网站会受到检查，负面新闻会被取缔。

So the next time you hear the word “censorship,” your American English will be good enough to know what this News Word means.
下次你再听到“审查”这个词，你的美语程度就足够听懂这个新闻词汇的意思了。
