Lamborghini Diablo fans build a replica from scratch
两小伙打造中国版兰博基尼鬼怪
The Lamborghini Diablo - one of the world's most expensive cars. But this model is a knock-off - made in China. Engineers Wang Yu and Li Lintao couldn't afford to buy their dream car so Wang says they built their own with almost all original Lamborghini parts.
兰博基尼鬼怪汽车是世界上最昂贵的车型之一 。但是这辆汽车则是山寨产品——中国制造 。王宇和李林韬没有能力购买自己梦想的汽车,所以王宇说他们打算全部使用原装的兰博基尼配件自己组装汽车 。
SOUNDBITE: Wang Yu, replica Lamborghini maker, saying (Mandarin): "When I was small, the person I admired most was Enzo Ferrari. I found out that the car was named after the person, and I had this idea, this dream, of becoming the Enzo Ferrari of the Chinese sports car world, or of my own brand, of being someone like that."
王宇,兰博基尼复制品制造者:“小时候,我最崇拜的人是恩佐·法拉利 。我发现汽车是以他的名字命名的,我也有这样一个梦想,成为中国跑车世界的恩佐·法拉利,或者拥有我自己的品牌,成为这样一个伟大的人 。”
The men produced their first replica in 2010 for about a tenth of what they'd pay for an authentic Lamborghini in China. Wang says their plan is to gain enough experience to create their own line of supercars for the domestic market.
两人于2010年出炉了首个复制品,费用为在中国购买原装车的十分之一 。王宇表示,他们的计划是得到足够的经验,打造自己的国内超级汽车生产线 。
SOUNDBITE: Wang Yu, replica Lamborghini maker, saying (Mandarin): "Chinese can also make supercars. We want to produce cars by Chinese people, for Chinese people, and meet our own people's demand for something personalized at lower costs which people can accept, cars that people can actually afford to drive."
王宇,兰博基尼复制品制造者:“中国也可以生产超级汽车 。我们希望生产中国人自己的汽车,供中国人驾驶,以国人可以接受的价格满足个性化的需求,生产出人们能够买得起的车 。”
Even though the law prohibits the licensing of self-assembled vehicles, the pair was encouraged when Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma recently bought their second Lamborghini replica. And with the growing number of billionaires in Asia, if Wang and Li do become the Enzo Ferraris of China, they won't be short of customers.
尽管法律禁止自己组装车辆,当中国企业家马云最近购买了他们的第二辆兰博基尼复制品之后,他们仍然倍受鼓舞 。随着亚洲亿万富翁越来越多,如果王宇和李林韬真的能够成为中国的恩佐·法拉利,他们将不缺乏客户 。
'No smoking' should include the e-cigarette, WHO says
世卫组织称应禁止电子烟
The World Health Organization wants authorities to crack down on the e-cigarette - a battery powered cigarette with nicotine vapor, instead of tobacco smoke. The global health watchdog just released a report saying that e-cigarettes could pose a threat to public health. New regulations it seeks to impose include a ban on indoor use and sales to minors. The W.H.O's Dr. Douglas Bettcher says it's also trying to dispel any notion that e-cigarettes are safer to smoke than regular cigarettes, citing a lack of scientific evidence to support such a claim.
世界卫生组织希望当局打击电子香烟——以电池为动力散发尼古丁蒸汽,而不是烟草烟雾的香烟 。该全球卫生监督机构发布了一份报告称,电子烟会对公共卫生造成影响 。世卫组织希望出台的新的管理条例包括禁止室内使用电子烟和禁止出售给未成年人 。世卫组织Douglas Bettcher医生表示,他们还试图摒除电子烟比普通香烟更安全的观念 。他说,这种说法缺乏科学证据 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) DIRECTOR OF WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) DEPARTMENT FOR PREVENTION OF NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES, DR DOUGLAS BETTCHER, SAYING: "Underlying reasons for regulation are really to impede the promotion of these products to non-smokers and youth. And really to minimize the health risks to both users and non-users "
世卫组织非传染疾病预防部门医生DOUGLAS BETTCHER:“进行调控的潜在原因是防止这些产品向非吸烟者和未成年人促销 。把对使用者和非使用者造成的健康风险最小化 。”
In Paris, a crackdown on the electronic nicotine machine may not be so welcome. E-cigarette boutique owner Victor Kauffman says his customers would prefer a more laissez-faire approach.
在巴黎,打击电子尼古丁机器的活动或许不受欢迎 。电子烟精品店老板Victor Kauffman表示,他的顾客希望采取更加自由主义的政策 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) E-CIGARETTE BOUTIQUE OWNER VICTOR KAUFFMANN SAYING: "I think that a ban on smoking e-cigarettes in public places is an error. It's an error for two reasons. One, no scientific argument justifies this measure, and more particularly banning it in public places likens the e-cigarette to real cigarettes which is a mistake. In the minds of users, it will be seen as just as dangerous."
电子烟精品店老板Victor Kauffman:“我认为禁止在公共场合使用电子烟是错误的 。错误的原因有两个 。一,没有科学依据为该禁令正名,更重要的是,禁止公共场合吸食电子烟可能会使人们更多地转向真正的香烟,这也是一个错误 。在使用者的心目中,这会被认为是危险的 。”
The W.H.O's recommendations will be the subject of debate among U.N. member states at a meeting in Moscow later this year.
世卫组织这些建议将会在今年年末在莫斯科召开的会议上遭受联合国成员国的辩论 。
UK Ebola victim treated with experimental ZMapp drug
英国埃博拉患者接受实验性药物
Inside this London hospital is the first Briton to have contracted the deadly Ebola virus. Nurse William Pooley was volunteering in Sierra Leone at an Ebola clinic when he fell ill and tested positive for the disease, which has no known cure. He has now been given the experimental drug known as ZMapp, and hospital officials say he's sitting up and talking. It's the same medicine given to two American aid workers who contracted Ebola in Liberia. They have since recovered and been released from an Atlanta hospital. Dr. Nathalie MacDermott spent three weeks in isolation after working with Ebola victims in Liberia. She says the Ebola threat is very real.
英国首例感染了致命埃博拉病毒的人就入住在伦敦这家医院 。护士William Pooley在塞拉利昂一家埃博拉诊所做志愿者,不幸患病,检测到埃博拉病毒阳性,没有治疗方法 。他已经接受了实验药物ZMapp 。医院官员表示,他已经能够坐起来说话 。在利比里亚感染了埃博拉病毒的两名美国救助人员也接受了同样的药物 。他们自那时起已经开始康复,从亚特兰大医院出院 。Nathalie MacDermott在利比里亚对埃博拉患者进行治疗之后被隔离了三周 。她表示,埃博拉的威胁非常真实 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) NATHALIE MACDERMOTT, PAEDIATRIC REGISTRAR AT NHS, SAYING: "I am concerned the epidemic is not remotely under control; if anything, it's spiraling even further out of control."
儿科登记员NATHALIE MACDERMOTT:“我担心这种传染性疾病远远没有被控制 。甚至越来越脱离控制 。”
Since March, more than 1,400 people have died from Ebola in West Africa. The U.S. -based manufacturer of ZMapp says it has exhausted its supplies, and that it will take some time to replenish the drug.
自三月份以来,西非已有超过1,400人死于埃博拉病毒 。位于美国的ZMapp生产厂家表示,他们已经供应不足,还需要一些时间来补充药物 。

Few suprises for Best Drama at the Primetime Emmy Awards in LA. AMC's gritty drug series picking up the gong for the second consecutive year after leading the pack with 16 nominations.

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss was awarded her third consecutive win for Best Actress - though Cranston couldn't resist a chance to steal the limelight. But it was a somber end to the evening as Billy Crystal paid tribute to his friend and fellow comic, the late Robin Williams. SOUNDBITE: Actor and Comedian, Billy Crystal, saying (English): "It'll warm your heart, it'll make your eyes glisten, and you'll think to yourselves :Robin Williams, what a concept."
白宫发言:奥巴马向军团发表讲话
Remarks by the President to the American Legion National Convention
Charlotte Convention Center
Charlotte, North Carolina
12:07 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you so much. Please, everybody, have a seat. Hello, Legionnaires!
AUDIENCE: Hello!
THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank Commander Dellinger for the introduction, but more importantly, for your service in the Army. And as you conclude your tenure as Commander, thank you for your tireless commitment to America's veterans.
I want to thank the entire leadership team for welcoming me here today, including your National Adjutant, Dan Wheeler; your Executive Director in Washington, Peter Gaytan; Nancy Brown-Park, all the spouses, daughters -- (applause) -- hey! -- sisters of the Auxiliary, and the Sons of the American Legion. (Applause.) And let me say that I join you in honoring the memory of a friend to many of you -- an Army veteran and a great Legionnaire from North Carolina, Jerry Hedrick. (Applause.)
To Senators Richard Burr and Kay Hagan, Mayor Dan Clodfelter -- thank you for welcoming us to the great state of North Carolina and to Charlotte, and for your great support of our troops and our veterans.
And I do have to mention the President of Boys Nation --Matthew Ellow, from Lacey's Spring, Alabama. I welcomed Matthew and all the incredible young people of Boys and Girls Nation to the White House last month. I was running a little bit late, so they just started singing, filling the White House with patriotic songs. And then they sang Happy Birthday to me, so I was pretty moved. And they're a tribute to the Legion and to our country.
I've brought with me today our new Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Bob McDonald. (Applause.) And for those of you who are not aware, Bob is one of America's most accomplished business leaders. He comes from a military family. He excelled at West Point, served as an Army Airborne Ranger -- so he's got a reputation for jumping into tough situations. (Laughter.) And he's hit the ground running, visiting hospitals and clinics across the country, hearing directly from veterans and helping us change the way the VA does business. And by the way, Washington doesn't agree on much these days, but he got confirmed 97 to 0. (Applause.) People understand he’s the right man for the job. He has my full support. And, Bob, I want to thank you for once again serving your country. (Applause.)
It’s an honor to be back with the American Legion. In the story of your service we see the spirit of America. When your country needed you most, you stepped forward. You raised your right hand, you swore a solemn oath. You put on that uniform and earned the title you carry to this day -- whether Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman.
Among you are proud veterans of World War II; of Korea; of Vietnam; of Desert Storm and the Balkans; and our newest veterans -- from Iraq and Afghanistan. Across the generations, you served with honor. You made us proud. And you carry the memory of friends who never came home -- our fallen, our prisoners of war, those missing in action -- heroes that our nation can never forget.
When you took off that uniform, you earned another title --the title of veteran. And you never stopped serving. As Legionnaires, you put on that cap, wore that emblem -- "for God and country" -- and took care of one another, making sure our veterans receive the care and the benefits that you’ve earned and deserve.
And just as you defended America over there, you helped build America here at home -- as leaders and role models in your communities, as entrepreneurs and business owners, as champions for a strong national defense. You helped the United States of America become what we are today -- the greatest democratic, economic, and military force for freedom and human dignity that the world has ever known.
Now, these are challenging times. I don't have to tell you that. Around the world as well as here at home. You turn on the TV and we're saturated with heartbreaking images of war and senseless violence and terrorism and tragedy. And it can be easy to grow cynical or give in to the sense that the future we seek is somehow beyond our reach. But as men and women who have been tested like few others, you should know better. You know that cynicism is not the character of a great nation. And so, even as we face, yes, the hard tasks of our time, we should never lose sight of our progress as a people or the strength of our leadership in the world.
Think about it -- six years after the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression -- in some ways, the crisis had the potential of being worse than the Great Depression -- thanks to the decisions we made to rescue our economy, thanks to the determination of the American people, we are stronger at home. Over the past 53 months, our businesses have added nearly 10 million new jobs -- the longest streak of private sector job creation in American history. Construction and housing are rebounding. Our auto industry and manufacturing are booming. Our high school graduation rate is at a record high. More young people are earning their college degrees than ever before. Millions more Americans now have quality, affordable health care. We've cut the deficit by more than half. And now we have to sustain this momentum so more people share in this progress, so our economy works for every working American.
And just as we're stronger at home, the United States is better positioned to lead in the 21st century than any nation on Earth. It’s not even close. We have the most powerful military in history -- that’s certainly not close. From Europe to Asia, our alliances are unrivaled. Our economy is the most dynamic. We've got the best workers. We’ve got the best businesses. We have the best universities and the best scientists. With our domestic energy revolution, including more renewable energy, we're more energy independent. Our technologies connect the world. Our freedoms and opportunities attract immigrants who “yearn to breathe free.” Our founding ideals inspire the oppressed across the globe to reach for their own liberty. That’s who we are. That’s what America is.
And moreover, nobody else can do what we do. No other nation does more to underwrite the security and prosperity on which the world depends. In times of crisis, no other nation can rally such broad coalitions to stand up for international norms and peace. In times of disaster, no other nation has the capabilities to deliver so much so quickly. No nation does more to help citizens claim their rights and build their democracies. No nation does more to help people in the far corners of the Earth escape poverty and hunger and disease, and realize their dignity. Even countries that criticize us, when the chips are down and they need help, they know who to call -- they call us. That's what American leadership looks like. That's why the United States is and will remain the one indispensable nation in the world.
Now, sustaining our leadership, keeping America strong and secure, means we have to use our power wisely. History teaches us of the dangers of overreaching, and spreading ourselves too thin, and trying to go it alone without international support, or rushing into military adventures without thinking through the consequences. And nobody knows this better than our veterans and our families -- our veteran families, because you’re the ones who bear the wages of war. You’re the ones who carry the scars. You know that we should never send America's sons and daughters into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary and we have a plan, and we are resourcing it and prepared to see it through. (Applause.) You know the United States has to lead with strength and confidence and wisdom.
