必克BBC新闻：首个被治愈艾滋病患者病情复发

尼克·凯利（Nick Kelly）为您播报BBC新闻。

An American-born child, who was thought to have been the first to be cured of HIV as a baby, has had the virus detected in her blood once again. The girl's case has raised hopes of a cure. Steve Jackson reports.

据认为一名出生于美国的儿童是首个在婴儿期被治愈的艾滋病患者，但随后又在其血液内测出该病毒。女孩的病例提升了人们对治愈艾滋的希望。史蒂夫·杰克逊（Steve Jackson）报道。

“The girl was born in Mississippi to a mother with HIV and was given aggressive treatment in the first two days of her life. At 18 months she stopped being given medication to suppress the virus, but remained free of HIV for more than two years afterwards. This was unprecedented and led medical experts to hope that the technique could be used much more widely to cure babies born with HIV. Doctors treating the girl said the reemergence of the virus was a disappointing turn of events, but the treatment may still have limited the development of HIV and the need for anti-retroviral drugs.”

“女孩出生于密西西比州，她母亲携带艾滋病毒，女孩在出生前两天受到积极的治疗。她18个月大的时候不再服用抑制艾滋病毒的药物，但在随后两年未携带该病毒。这件事史无前例，医学专家希望能推广该技术来治愈出生时即携带艾滋病毒的婴儿。治疗这名女孩的医生说，病毒的再次出现令人失望，但治疗可能仍限制了艾滋病毒的发展及病人对抗逆转药物的需求。”

American Secretary of State John Kerry has arrived in Afghanistan to try to resolve tensions over the disputed presidential elections that are threatening to destabilize the country. Aleem Maqbool reports.

美国国务卿约翰·克里抵达阿富汗，试图解决总统选举备受争议的紧张局面，大选威胁到该国的安定。阿利姆·马克布勒（Aleem Maqbool）报道。

“The fact John Kerry has made his trip at such short notice is an indication of just how concerned the US is of Afghanistan descending into post-election turmoil. Preliminary results in the second round of the Presidential poll appeared to show a huge turnaround with Ashraf Ghani, a former World Bank economist, now well ahead of former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah. To many, such a reversal of fortunes as compared to the first round of voting can only have been achieved through widespread election fraud amid renewed fears the country could quite literally be divided. Secretary Kerry's already threatened a suspension of financial and security support to Afghanistan if anyone seized power illegally.”

“约翰·克里当即访问阿富汗的事表明了美国多么担心阿富汗会陷入选后动乱。第二轮总统选举的结果似乎表明世界银行前经济学家贾尼的重大转机，他目前遥遥领先于前外长阿卜杜拉。对很多人而言，相比于第一轮选举结果，这样的幸运逆转只能通过广泛的选举欺诈获得，人们再次担心阿富汗会出现分裂。国务卿克里威胁称，任何人如果非法获得权力，将暂停对阿富汗的财政和安全支持。”

President Obama says the United States is prepared to facilitate a cessation of hostilities in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. More than 80 people are reported of being killed there in the Israeli air attacks launched in response to Palestinian rocket fire across the boarder. Tom Esslemont reports from Washington.

奥巴马总统称美国正准备促进以色列和哈马斯停止在加沙的敌对局面。由于巴勒斯坦越界发射火箭，以色列发动空袭，据报道导致80多人死亡。汤姆·艾索蒙特（Tom Esslemont）在华盛顿报道。

“President Obama's offer of America's help to end the escalating violence is a sign of how unstable the situation has become, and how much he and other world leaders want it to end. In November 2012 during the last phase of intense hostilities between Hamas and Israel, the United States gained the support of Egypt to broker a ceasefire, but there is still a great deal of pessimism that an imminent solution can be struck. When Benjamin Netanyahu was asked earlier about the prospects of a ceasefire, he said simply that it wasn't even on the agenda.”

“奥巴马总统提出帮助结束恶化的暴力局面，这表明目前局势不稳以及奥巴马和其他世界领导人都希望能结束该局面。在2012年11月哈马斯和以色列激烈敌对的最后阶段，美国在埃及支持下通过谈判达成停火协议，但目前人们仍持悲观态度，认为无法停止即将来临的局面。本杰明·内塔尼亚胡早时在被问及停火协议的计划时，他只表示这甚至不在议程内。”

The German government has asked the official who represents the US intelligence services in the country to leave. The government spokesman in Berlin said the move had resulted from the current investigation by the German federal prosecutor into the activities of the US agencies. There has been no immediate comment from Washington; but the White House stressed the importance of its relationship with Berlin.

德国政府要求在该国境内代表美国情报机构的官员离开。政府驻柏林发言人称这是基于德国联邦检察官对美国情报机构活动的调查。华盛顿政府尚未立即发表意见；但白宫强调了与柏林关系的重要性。

“Amnesty International said both sides had engaged in kidnapping, but pro-Russian militants carried out the bulk of instances. The separatists have targeted political activists, protesters and journalists. Those abducted were often subjected to stomach-churning, beatings and torture, an Amnesty official said. The pro-government forces also committed a smaller number of abuses.”

“大赦国际组织称冲突双方都涉及绑架活动，但亲俄分子实施了最多绑架。分裂分子的绑架对象是政治活动家、抗议者和记者。大赦国际官员称，被绑架者常遭受痛苦殴打和虐待。亲政府军队也实施了较少虐待行为。”
