WHO says China bird flu strain "lethal"
世界卫生组织称H7N9禽流感病是“致命性的”
Experts say a new strain of bird flu that has killed 22 people in China is "one of the most lethal" of its kind. Since it was first detected in March, at least 108 people have been infected by the strain of virus known as H7N9. A team from the World Health Organization (WHO) is monitoring the outbreak. They say the virus appears to be more easily passed to humans than an earlier deadly strain.
新型禽类感病毒(H7N9)已造成中国22人死亡,专家表示该病毒是此类病毒中“最致命的一种” 。自三月发现以来,已有108人感染H7N9病毒 。世界卫生组织一团队也正在对疫情进行监控 。他们表示这种新型病毒比早期发现的致命菌株更易易传染给人类 。
WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL FOR HEALTH SECURITY KEIJI FUKUDA SAYING: "There are some other examples of other influenza viruses which are very dangerous for humans. You know, I think the H5N1 bird flu virus is one of the most famous examples of how dangerous an influenza virus can be for people in terms of being lethal. But this is definitely one of the most lethal influenza viruses that we've seen so far." It's not yet determined whether the virus could become transmissible between people. The WHO believes poultry markets are the likely source of infection, as samples from chickens, ducks and pigeons have tested positive.
世界卫生组织助理总干事说:“以前存在过许多其它对人类非常危险的流感病毒病例 。你知道,从病毒的致命性而言,我认为H5N1禽流感是危害人类最典型的流感病毒之一 。但毫无疑问,这(H7N9)也是我们目前为止发现的最致命流感病毒之一 。”病毒是否能在人际间传播目前还尚不清楚 。世卫组织认为家禽市场可能是传染源,因为在鸡、鸭、鸽子等样品中已检测出阳性 。

CCTV新闻:复旦投毒案 寝室室友为何痛下毒手?
Shanghai student poisoned to death
复旦投毒案:寝室室友为何痛下毒手?
A medical postgraduate student from a top university in Shanghai has died of poisoning. His death came after two week’s of intense medical care in hospital. Police say one of his roommates is their top suspect and he is now being questioned.
It could have been another rags to riches story if the tragedy hadn’t have happened.
The victim, 28 year old Huang Yang, was studying at the prestigious Fudan University. He came from a destitute family, where both of his parents had been laid off.
Huaang's father said, "I am over 50 years old now. I am in so much pain. If he can’t live, his mom doesn’t want to live either."
According to the report by the school, Huang was sent to a hospital on April 1st and had been experiencing fever and vomiting.
On Saturday, police detained the suspect, Huang’s roommate, who is surnamed Lin.
This came after another student told police that Lin had been experimenting on mice using a chemical compound that could bring about the same symptoms Huang had.
Then an investigation was launched and police later found toxic compounds in a water dispenser in Huang’s dorm room. An autopsy was performed, but the results have not been released yet.
But the suspect’s motivations are unknown and both Huang’s parents and the school denied rumors that the two students didn’t get along because they were competing for doctoral opportunities.
Fang Ming, deputy director of publicity dep't of Fudan University, said, "It’s up to the police to announce their findings. But these two students belong to two different majors and were interning at different hospitals."
Back at the school, Huang’s death has shocked many of his schoolmates.
Huang's classmate said, "I never could have imagined it could be like this.He was very easygoing and got along with everybody."
On the internet, the tragedy has drawn widespread sympathy for the victim and condemnation for the culprit.
An announcement on Fudan University’s microblog has been reposted more than 160,000 times and drawn over 60,000 comments.
Fang said, "It’s an extreme case both the school and society don’t want to see or bear. I hope our students can rationally look at this and while mourning for him, they can also reflect on this. "
The police are still looking into the suspect’s motivations as many people across the country mourn.
奥巴马演讲:美国人民与波士顿在一起
Weekly Address: America Stands with the City of Boston
美国人民与波士顿在一起
On Monday, an act of terror wounded dozens and killed three innocent people at the Boston Marathon.
But in the days since, the world has witnessed one sure and steadfast truth: Americans refuse to be terrorized.
Ultimately, that’s what we’ll remember from this week. That’s what will remain. Stories of heroism and kindness; resolve and resilience; generosity and love.
The brave first responders – police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and National Guard – who ran toward danger to help their fellow citizens.
The race volunteers, spectators, and exhausted runners who rushed to help, including troops and veterans who never expected to see such scenes on the streets of America.
The determined doctors and nurses at some of the world’s best hospitals, who have toiled day and night to save so many lives.
The big-hearted people of Boston – residents, priests, shopkeepers – who carried victims in their arms; delivered water and blankets; lined up to give blood; opened their homes to total strangers.
And the heroic federal agents and police officers who worked together throughout the week, often at great risk to themselves, to keep our communities safe. As a country, we are eternally grateful for the profound sacrifices they make in the line of duty – sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice to defend the people they’ve sworn to protect.
If anyone wants to know who we are; what America is; how we respond to evil and terror – that’s it. Selflessly. Compassionately. And unafraid.
Through days that would test even the sturdiest of souls, Boston’s spirit remains undaunted. America’s spirit remains undimmed. Our faith in each other, our love for this country, our common creed that cuts across whatever superficial differences we may have – that’s what makes us strong. That’s why we endure.
In the days to come, we will remain vigilant as a nation. And I have no doubt the city of Boston and its surrounding communities will continue to respond in the same proud and heroic way that they have thus far – and their fellow Americans will be right there with them every step of the way. May God bless the people of Boston and the United States of America.
