路透社:日内瓦第二轮会谈希望渺茫
=====精彩回顾=====
Hope fades as Geneva 2 talks end
日内瓦第二轮会谈希望渺茫
On the dusty hills outside Amman, Jordan, a makeshift tent camp teeming with children is void of hope. For the Syrian refugees living there, the Geneva 2 peace talks offers no consolation.
在约旦安曼城外一个尘土飞扬的小山丘，为儿童提供住所的一个临时帐篷营地几乎已经不报什么希望。对于居住在这里的叙利亚难民来说，日内瓦第二轮会谈没有为他们带来任何安慰。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ABU ALAA, SYRIAN REFUGEE, SAYING: "Geneva 2 is useless. The destruction has increased. Homs has been destroyed and so has Damascus. What else is there? They forced people out of their homes. Everything is ruined."
叙利亚难民ABU ALAA：“日内瓦第二轮会谈没有任何作用，造成的破坏反而逐渐增加。霍姆斯已经完全损毁，大马士革也是如此。除此之外还有什么结果呢？他们迫使人们离开家园。一切都被毁坏了。”
Back in Switzerland, the opposition Syrian National Coalition appears to feel the same.
在瑞士，反对派叙利亚全国联盟似乎也是同样的感受。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OPPOSITION'S SYRIAN NATIONAL COALITION SPOKESMAN LOUAY SAFI SAYING: "I am very sorry to say really there is nothing positive we can take. We have been disappointed completely, not only by the regime, but other sponsors so far, particularly the Russians, have not prevailed over the regime, that want to stall. I hope they will do something about it."
反对派叙利亚全国联盟发言人萨菲(Louay Safi)：“非常抱歉地说，我们一点都不乐观。我们已经完全失望了，不只对当权者失望，也对会谈的支持者失望，尤其是俄罗斯人，他们没有战胜政府，造成谈判拖延。我希望他们能够对此采取一些措施。”
Despite this, the two sides did agree to an agenda for another round of talks. Syria's Envoy to the United Nations, Bashar al-Jaafari.
尽管如此，双方同意制定日程进行新一轮的会谈。叙利亚驻联合国特使杰佛利(Bashar al-Jaafari)发表了讲话。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SYRIA'S ENVOY TO THE UNITED NATIONS BASHAR AL-JAAFARI SAYING: "We are committed to serving the interest of our own people in stopping the bloodshed, combating terrorism, and bringing about a political settlement acceptable by the Syrian people."
叙利亚驻联合国特使杰佛利(Bashar al-Jaafari)：“我们致力于捍卫民众的利益，制止血腥事件，打击恐怖主义，带来叙利亚人民接受的政治解决方案。”
The ongoing conflict has killed more than 130,000 people and displaced millions.
持续的冲突已经造成超过130,000人死亡，数百万人流离失所。
Syrian opposition leader visits rebels in Idlib
叙利亚反对派领导人探访叛军
The Western-backed leader of the Syrian opposition, Ahmad al-Jarba, is paying a visit to rebel fighters in the northern Idlib province. It's his way of showing support for them. In video obtained by Reuters, Jarba spends some time with the rebels before getting into the trenches himself. Jarba was re-elected as the Syrian opposition's leader for a second six-month term in January. He had previously participated in the UN-mediated Geneva peace talks that produced little progress. Though it was agreed that the opposition and government would meet again at a later date. The civil war in Syria is now weeks away from it's three-year anniversary.
西方国家支持的叙利亚反对派领导人阿尔贾巴(Ahmad al-Jarba)前往北方省份伊德利卜探访叛军战士，以这种方式向他们表示支持。路透社获取的视频资料显示，阿尔贾巴与叛军们共聚了一段时间，然后亲自进入战壕。1月份，阿尔贾巴再次当选为叙利亚反对派领导人，任期六个月。此前，他曾经参加了联合国调停的日内瓦和平会谈，未取得什么进展。然而，反对派和政府一致同意择日再谈。再过几周，叙利亚内战就即将迎来三周年纪念日。

南卡罗来纳州州长妮基·哈蕾(Nikki Haley)：“这是一场巨大的浩劫。我看到的情况比以往任何时候都严重，比飓风造成的损害还要严重。我们目睹了冰雪造成的破坏程度多么巨大。”
It's done plenty of damage to business owners who had to shut down because of no power. This restaurant owner is finally back open after being in the dark for two days.

CCTV9:京东商城出炉信用卡购物服务
JD.com launches shopper credit service
京东商城出炉信用卡购物服务
China's second-largest online retailer JD.com, or Jingdong, is about to launch a virtual credit card service. The service will let shoppers buy items at the company's online marketplace on credit. This is the company's first move into consumer finance, and comes two weeks after it announced plans for a U.S. IPO.
The new service will offer qualified consumers a credit line of up to 15,000 yuan, or 2,470 U.S. dollars.
The biggest spenders won't necessarily get the biggest credit lines. The E-commerce giant says credit quotas will vary and will be based on customers' shopping records and their comments on purchased products.
"To put it simply, when a client buys baby products in large quantities, it shows the client has a stable family and a child. There's no doubt this client is highly credible and stable. Based on such information, we are able to offer such clients credit lines, whose risks are difficult to assess in traditional banking," said Xu Ling, Director of Consumer Finance at JD.com.
JD.com says its service fee will be about half that of comparable services offered by banks. JD.com has started a two-day beta phase and approved users will be able to activate the service on Saturday. For now, the virtual credit card service may attract more online shoppers, but may become a full-fledged revenue earner in the future.
Analysts expect more companies to venture into consumer finance, which stands at only 18 percent of China's total loans.
CCTV9:周洋赢得冬奥会女子速滑冠军
China's Zhou Yang wins women's 1500m speed skating
周洋赢得冬奥会女子速滑冠军
There have been plenty of highs and lows for the host nation and China continues to add to its gold medal haul in Sochi, with victory on the ice. But on a much sadder note, early on Saturday morning, Russian ski cross racer Maria Komissarova broke her spine during training. Thankfully, according to a statement from the International Olympic Committee, her emergency operation was successful.
On a another great day of competition for Chinese skaters, China’s short track champion Zhou Yang managed to successfully defend her 15-hundred meter Olympic title. She won the gold medal in dramatic fashion, just avoiding a collision that wiped out three of her rivals.
Meanwhile, hosts Russia ended the day on a high, Alexander Tretiakov won gold in the men’s skeleton and speed skaters Victor An and compatriot Vladimir Grigorev completed a one-two finish in the men’s one-thousand meter short-track event.
But in a much-hyped group-stage men’s ice hockey clash, the United States defeated Russia in a dramatic shoot-out. The teams had finished regulation play level at 2-2, Russia having a third goal controversially wiped out. But in the end, center TJ Oshie, known for his shootout prowess, scored the winner for the US, capping one of the great Olympic encounters between the two nations.
In the men’s speed skating competition, Poland’s Zbigniew Brodka won the 1,500 meter long track gold by the tightest of margins just 3,000ths of a second ahead of rival Koen Verweij of the Netherlands.
