1【Mubarak jailed for life】穆巴拉克被判终身监禁
播放后点击【REPLAY】重播
TEXT:Crowds were gathering outside the court earlier Saturday ahead of an expected verdict against ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. The 84 year old former leader has been on trial for complicity over the killing of hundreds of protesters last year in an uprising that unseated him from power. He was flown in by helicopter on Saturday morning to the special court where he, his son and other officials are facing trial. Mubarak was also facing charges of graft. Last year's demonstrations drew global attention as the world watched thousands take to the streets day and night until Mubarak was forced out. He was eventually brought back to stand trial- and his appearance on a stretcher, in a cage, stunned the nation. But a drawn out and often chaotic trial-- plus a lack of strong evidence linking Mubark to the protesters deaths'-- left manyfeeling pessimistic about a fair and just verdict. Julie Noce, Reuters
参考译文：周六的早些时候，人群拥挤在法院门口，期待着对废黜的埃及前总统胡斯尼·穆巴拉克的宣判。在去年推翻其政权的暴乱中，这位84岁的前国家领导人因合谋杀害数百名反抗者而被告上法庭。周六上午，他被直升机空运到专门法庭，在这里他的儿子和其他官员正面临审判。穆巴拉克还面临贪污的指控。去年，数千名反抗者整日在街上游行示威，直至穆巴拉克下台，这引起了全球的关注。最终，他被带回来进行审判。在担架，以及铁笼中亮相的穆巴拉克，着实震惊了全国。但因对穆巴拉克杀害抗议者缺乏足够证据，使得审判一拖再拖，并且时常发生混乱。对此，许多人对审判的公平和公正性并不乐观。
2【France, Russia at odds over Syria】叙利亚问题法俄各执己见
TEXT:Tension over Syria --- as the leaders of France and Russia met in Paris. French president Francois Hollande said he hoped to convince Moscow, a staunch ally of Syria, to back a Security Council resolution which includes sanctions on Damascus. French President Francois Hollande saying (French): "The regime of Bashar al-Assad has behaved in an unacceptable and intolerable manner and has committed acts which disqualify it. No solution to this situation is possible without the departure of Bashar al-Assad." Russian president Vladimir Putin said a regime change in Syria would not necessarily bring peace. He also said it was premature to call a ceasefire brokered by U.N. envoy Kofi Annan a failure. SOUNDBITE: Russian Presidnt Vladimir Putin saying (Russian): "Mr. Annan is a very experienced and respectable person, and we must do everything for his mission to succeed. I think it is counterproductive to announce his mission as a failure in advance. I think that would be a mistake." Outrage over last week's mass killings in Houala prompted France to join several other countries in expelling Syrian diplomats. Russia has so far backed Syrian government's assertion that anti-government forces were behind the attack. Deborah Gembara, Reuters
参考译文：面对紧张的叙利亚局势——法国和俄罗斯领导人在巴黎举行会晤。法国总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德称，他希望说服叙利亚的坚定盟国—俄罗斯，支持安理会涉及对叙利亚制裁的决议。奥朗德称：“阿萨德政权的所做所为令人发指，他没有资格在担任下去了。在这种情况下，除了让他下台，没有其它任何可行的办法了。”俄罗斯总统普京表示，叙利亚政权的更换未必会带来和平。他还称，现在就断定联合国大使安南的停火协议以失败告终，是为时过早的。普京称：“安南先生是位非常资深，且受人尊重的人，为了解决叙利亚问题，我们必须完全按照他的使命来做。我认为提前宣布协议的失败会适得其反，那将成为一个失误。”上周Houala镇的大屠杀引起西方国家强烈的愤怒，这促使法国及其他几个国家驱逐叙利亚外交官。迄今为止，俄罗斯仍支持叙利亚政府的陈词，即反政府武装是（屠杀事件的）幕后凶手。
3【Fairytale wedding for Chinese couples】中国夫妻的浪漫婚礼
TEXT:It's a dream come true for 15 Chinese couples. They traveled all the way to southern Germany to get married. And the fabled Neuschwanstein Castle setting did not disappoint. Groom, Liu Lei, saying: "The scenery in Germany is beautiful. The culture is also very interesting. The atmosphere is fantastic. My parents have been to Germany twice already. That's what gave us the idea to have our wedding here." Bride Tao Yun, saying: "I have always loved Germany. Germans are very romantic. To celebrate my wedding here is a childhood dream come true." The couples are spending just three days in Germany - so no honeymoons - at least not just yet. Tara Cleary, Reuters.

【World No Tobacco Day Proven Successful】成功的世界无烟日
视频下载（点击右键另存为）
TEXT:May 31 marked the 25th anniversary of World No Tobacco Day, a day set aside by the World Health Organization (WHO) to draw global attention to the devastating health results that come from using tobacco products. On earlier anniversaries, public health officials couldn't tell if the program was effective in encouraging people to stop smoking, but that's changed.
Every year, Americans observe the Great American Smoke Out, a day set aside to encourage smokers to go without a cigarette for one day. Suddenly giving up a habit is referred to as "going cold turkey." In Knoxville, Tennessee, smokers on one anniversary could trade in their cigarettes for a real cold turkey.
One day events like The Great American Smoke Out or World No Tobacco Day usually get publicity, but it was impossible to scientifically determine their effectiveness.
The Google search engine changed all of that. Joanna Cohen heads the Global Tobacco Initiative at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
"Today with the tools of Google News and being able to analyze Internet search queries, you can actually pinpoint the effects of actual days," noted Cohen. The researchers picked several countries in Latin America for their study. Among the reasons: Spanish is the main language so the researchers were able to examine the impact of World No Tobacco Day in many countries with only one language.
What they found was encouraging for health officials who are trying to get people to quit smoking.
"If you look at people searching for how to quit smoking which would be the logical next step - awareness and then interest in cessation - we see on average about 40 percent increase in all those countries in all years from 2000 onward," said John Ayers, the study's lead author who spoke to VOA via Skype.
The researchers say these spikes in interest on how to quit smoking could have potentially large health implications.
"What our study shows is that World No Tobacco Day is having a significant impact on raising interest in and awareness of cessation in these developing countries," added Ayers.
The researchers say this information will help the health ministries in countries around the world because if they know that their citizens are interested in information on how to stop smoking, the ministries can provide better online information on World No Tobacco Day to help people kick the smoking habit.

【A New Education Center at Theater Where Lincoln Was Shot】林肯射杀处剧院新建教育中心
视频下载MP3下载同步字幕下载（点击右键另存为）
TEXT:It estimated 750,000 people visit Ford's Theater each year to see the box where President Lincoln was shot. Now they can go across the street to the house where he died and then to the center next door to it.
A 10 meter-high tower of 7,000 books on Abraham Lincoln shows his enduring appeal. Curator Tracey Avant says there are more books about Lincoln than any other American.
"He's just continued to be fascinating, and people throughout every generation seem to redefine who Abraham Lincoln is to them," said Avant.
The center has some artifacts, like a handle from the president's casket and tassels used to decorate it. Other exhibits are re-creations of the train that carried his coffin and a barn where John Wilkes Booth, the president's assassin, was shot and killed.
There are also interactive exhibits, which impressed Charlie Doer. "I think it's pretty cool, pretty high tech for Abraham Lincoln," said Doer.
Tracey Avant says one reason the center was opened was to answer visitors' questions about the president.
"He's still very relevant to us today, so we want people to walk away having a better understanding of what it was about Abraham Lincoln that makes him relevant today and has made him such a popular president," added Avant.
The civil war began after 11 southern states, known as the Confederacy, split from the north over the rights of states, including slavery. In 1863, Lincoln announced that slavery would end. Two years later, the south surrendered and the United States was preserved.
Avant say even though President Lincoln was controversial, he was admired.
"It has a lot to do with his leadership style, his personality and the things that he championed," Avant noted. "The fact that he could relate to the common person because he had come from humble roots himself."
The center also shows American presidents and world leaders who have quoted President Lincoln on topics like courage, equality and tolerance.
"His writing encompassed really big ideas, championed important issues, but he wrote in an elegant but very simple style which was not really the tradition at the time," Avant added.
Visitor Wendy Taylor found the center remarkable. "I love the way that it encourages people... to think about some of the values that Lincoln stood for to make the world they live in a better place," said Taylor.
To make that point, the center has created a video of average Americans today quoting the principles President Lincoln stood for.
