BBC News with Jerry Smit
Prince William,the second in line to the British throne,and his bride Kate Middleton have been married in a glitter ing ceremony at Westminster Abbey.Kate,who now has the title Duchess of Cambridge,told a news agency photographer"We had a great day."Here's Nicholas Witchell.
This was a day when a young woman was taken to many people's hearts.Accompanied by her father,she was driven through streets more packed than they have been for a royal wedding for a good many years.At Westminster Abbey,her husband-to-be was waiting."You look beautiful," he said,as Kate took her place beside him.The marriage ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
I,William Arthur Philip Louis(I,William Arthur Philip Louis),take thee,Catherine Elizabeth (take thee,Catherine Elizabeth)to my wedded wife(to my wedded wife).
There was one moment of anxiety.The ring appeared to be too small.William persevere d,and on it went.Within the abbey,the cheers of the crowds outside could clearly be heard.But of course from that moment,she was no longer Catherine Middleton.The Queen had opted for tradition and made William the Duke of Cambridge.And so she joined the royal family as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.
The couple are now at a reception in Buckingham Palace,where the formality of the ceremonies will be relaxed.Here's June Kelly.
After wedding service attended by2,000,this evening's reception is in comparison a small affair-300guests chosen by the couple,the host is the Prince of Wales.The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have left for home and turned the palace over to the party goers.One official said the Queen believed the reception was for younger people to let their hair down.The dinner has been the setting for Prince Harry's best man speech.With no grandparents'present,the prince may feel less inhibited when it comes to tales about his older brother.
June Kelly
Many Americans were among the global television audience,as Laura Trevelyan found out when she visited a street party in New York.
New Yorkers gathered at sunrise to celebrate the royal wedding.In a country that long ago rebelled against rule by the British king,people came to celebrate the romance.
"We all believe in fairy tales,and this is the best fairy tale that we've got in our generation,and I think we all just want to be a part of that."
"I am excited.This is our adopted royalty.We still love them.We all love the hats.We love the pageantry.It's fantastic."
The most appealing aspect of this story to Americans is Kate Middleton's transformation-an ordinary middle-class young woman to princess.
You're listening to World News from the BBC.
Nato has accused forces loyal to the Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi of laying mines in the waters off the coast of the besieged rebel-held city of Misrata.Ian Pannell reports from Tripoli.
According to Nato,it intercept ed small boats being used by Gaddafi loyalists off the coast of Misrata on Friday morning to plant mines.The port is the only lifeline for the besieged city,and it's been used for humanitarian shipments,the evacuation of refugees and casualties from the city, as well as the delivery of weapons and ammunition for the rebels.The head of operations for the alliance accused Colonel Gaddafi of a"complete disregard for international law".The government in Tripoli hasn't responded.
Human rights campaigners in Syria say more than40protesters have been killed in another day of anti-government demonstrations across the country.Many of those who died were reported to have been shot by the security forces as they tried to reach the southern city of Deraa.The city has been occupied by troops and tanks since Monday.Owen Bennett-Jones reports from neighbouring Lebanon.
The reports say that thousands of people were marching towards Deraa when the security forces opened fire.The dead and injured were taken to a nearby hospital outside Deraa.Earlier,the government news agency reported that four soldiers had been killed and two kidnapped in Deraa by what it described as an"armed terrorist group"which stormed a military post.Deraa,where Friday prayers were banned today,is the place where the protests began six weeks ago.
The French Football Federation has begun an inquiry into allegations that officials secretly planned to introduce racial quota s in national training programmes to restrict the number of
non-white players.An investigative website,Mediapart,alleged that the football authorities had approved a plan to restrict the number of black players at football training centres to30%of the total.Senior officials have denied the accusations.
And that's the latest BBC News.

英国王位第二顺位继承人威廉王子和新娘凯特·米德尔顿在威斯敏斯特大教堂(Westminster Abbey)举行了盛大婚礼。凯特·米德尔顿现在的头衔是剑桥公爵夫人(Duchess of Cambridge)，她告诉媒体摄影师，“我们度过了美好的一天”。Nicholas Witchell报道。
这一天，一名年轻女子牵动了许多人的心。在父亲的陪同下，她乘车经过拥挤的街道。多年来，皇家婚礼从未引起如此多人的关注。在威斯敏斯特大教堂，她的未婚夫正在等待。威廉王子对她说，“你今天非常漂亮，”然后，凯特站在威廉王子旁边。婚礼仪式由坎特伯雷大主教(Archbishop of Canterbury)主持。
“我，威廉·亚瑟·菲利普·路易斯，将娶你凯萨琳·伊莉莎白为我的合法妻子。”
婚礼中曾经出现了比较焦虑的时刻。结婚戒指似乎有点小。在威廉的不懈努力下，戒指终于戴到凯特手上。在教堂内能够清晰地听到教堂外人群的欢呼声。但是当然，从那一刻起，她不再是凯瑟琳·米德尔顿。女王按照传统封威廉王子为剑桥公爵，由此凯特也加入皇室家族，成为剑桥公爵夫人。
威廉王子夫妇正在白金汉宫参加宴会，仪式的礼节稍微放松一点。June Kelly报道。
经过2,000人参加的婚礼之后，晚上的宴会相对来说就比较轻松，这是由这对夫妇选择的300名客人，主持人是威尔士王子。女王和爱丁堡公爵已经回家，将王宫留给参加派对的人。一名官员表示，女王认为晚上的宴会应该是让年轻人放松的。晚宴安排了伴郎哈里王子发表讲话。祖父母不在场，王子在讲述兄长的爱情童话时可能没有那么拘谨。

Laura Trevelyan在纽约参加一个派对时发现，许多美国人也在电视上观看威廉王子的婚礼状况。
许多纽约人在黄昏时分相聚，庆祝皇家婚礼的举行。在这个长久以来反对英国国王统治的国家，人们走上街头庆祝这场皇家婚礼。
“我们都相信童话故事，这是我们这一代经历的最浪漫的童话故事，我想我们都希望成为这个童话的一部分。”
“我非常激动，这是我们的皇室，我们仍然敬爱他们。我们热爱这场盛典。非常壮观。”
对许多美国人来说，这个童话故事中最吸引人的部分是米德尔顿的转变——由平民中产阶级少女转变为王妃。

北约指控忠于利比亚领袖卡扎菲上校的力量在被围困的叛军控制的城市米苏拉塔海岸水域中埋雷。Ian Pannell在的黎波里报道。
据北约所说，周五早上，他们在米苏拉塔海岸拦截了卡扎菲的忠实者用于布雷的几艘小船。这个港口是被围困的米苏拉塔唯一的生命线，用于人道主义物资的装运，难民和伤者的疏散，以及叛军武器和弹药的运输。盟军空袭活动领袖指责卡扎菲上校“完全漠视国际法”。的黎波里政府没有做出任何回应。
叙利亚人道主义活动家表示，全国各地再次发生了反政府抗议活动，造成40多人死亡。据报道，许多死亡是由于试图游行前往南部城市德拉时被安全力量枪击。自周一开始，这座城市已经被军队和坦克占领。Owen Bennett-Jones在邻国黎巴嫩报道。
报道称，数千人正前往德拉，安全力量突然开火。死伤者被带往德拉城外附近的医院。此前，政府新闻机构报道称，“武装恐怖组织”袭击了一个军事哨所，造成德拉四名士兵死亡，两人被绑架。六周前，抗议活动从德拉开始爆发。今天，参加周五祈祷的人被禁止。
有人指控，有官员计划在全国训练项目中引入种族指标，限制非白人队员的人数，法国足球联盟已经对此展开调查。调查性质的网站Mediapart声称足球当局通过了一项计划，将足球训练中心黑人队员的人数限制在总数的30%。高级官员已经否认了这些指控。

同位语从句
同位语从句属于名词性从句，大多由从属连词that引导，常常跟在fact,idea,opinion,news, hope,belief等名词后面。同位语从句一般用来解释或说明这些名词的具体含义或内容，在逻辑上表现为同位关系。例如：
They are familiar with the opinion that all matter consists of atoms.他们很熟悉这一观点，所有的物质都是由原子构成的。
1、从先行词来看
同位语从句与名词之间在逻辑上是"主语＋be＋表语"的关系。该名词是需要做特殊说明的抽象名词。例如：
They were delighted at the news that their team had won.当听到他们的球队赢了的消息时，他们欣喜若狂。
2、从引导词来看
引导词that在同位语从句中是连词，只起连接作用，无具体词义，that不可省略；that在定语从句中是关系代词，它在从句中充当一定成分---主语或宾语，有具体词意，作宾语时还可以省略。试比较：
The factory(that)we visited yesterday is a chemical one.我们昨天参观的那家工厂是化工厂。(that在从句中作宾语，所以此句是宾语从句)
The news that he will leave for Shanghai is true.他将要去上海的消息是真的。(that只起连接从句的作用，所以此句是同位语从句)
BBC新闻10篇 BBC News Item1政治：吉尔吉斯斯坦总统逃亡国外 The President of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiyev has left the country and flown to neighboring Kazakhstan almost a week after his political opponents seized power.The authorities in Kazakhstan said his departure had been organized with the help of Russia and the United States.

英语新闻报道写作的主要技巧 新闻报道的结构一般分为四个部分：（一）标题、（二）导语、（三）主体、（四）结语。 标题是新闻的题目，是编辑对最有新闻价值内容的浓缩、概括、提炼和再创造。撰写标题是为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读。在今天繁忙的现代社会中，报纸的读者大多是标题浏览者。导语是消息开头的第一段或第一句话，它扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。主体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步开展和阐释。新闻报道的结语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作概括性的总结，或对新闻事件的发展趋势作出预测。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结语中提出令人深思的问题。 一般来说，标题、导语和主体是构成新闻报道的必不可少的三部分。可根据新闻报道的内容而确定是否要结语或其它内容（如事件和历史背景等），有时，还可将它们暗含在主体中。 在写新闻报道时，首先要注意新闻的标题具有语言幽默风趣的特点，有较强的吸引力。同时，写作依据的材料要充分，要用事实来说话，语言力求简洁。最后，报道中要有亮点，能引人深思或能让人产生强烈的兴趣。 请阅读下面一则关于刘翔获得奥运金牌的体育报道,并试着找出这则新闻报道的标题、导语和主体：
Liu Xiang：Dark Horse in the Athens Olympics Liu Xiang , born on July 13, 1983 in Shanghai, China, is a Chinese hurdling athlete. In 2002, Liu launched his career in fine style by winning the first IAAF (国际业余田径联合会) Grand Prix in Lausanne with a world youth and Asian record time of 13.12 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles. He has since made the finals at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics and IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics. Two of the three cases has seen American hurdling great Allen Johnson take the major prize, but in the last in May at Osaka, Liu managed to beat Johnson with an Asian-record time of 13.2014 seconds. Still young, Liu has improved steadily, and won a gold medal at the 2014 Summer Olympics in the 110 meters hurdles event. In the final, he equaled the world record of 12.91 seconds held since 1993 by Colin Jackson of Wales. This is the first time an athlete of non-African descent (后裔) has dipped under 13 seconds for the 110 meter hurdles.
Paris attacks: France calls on EU to 'wake up' to threat 2015-11-20 French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said European countries must "wake up" to terror threats, following the attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead. He spoke after it emerged that the suspected Belgian ringleader of the attacks had entered France undetected. Belgian PM Charles Michel has defended Belgium's security services amid claims the attacks were organised there. It comes as EU interior ministers are due to hold emergency talks. The meeting in Brussels is expected to tighten checks at the external borders of the EU's passport-free Schengen area. Key questions remain after attacks On Thursday, French prosecutors confirmed that Islamic State (IS) militant AbdelhamidAbaaoud was among those killed in a police raid the previous day. His bullet-riddled body was found in the wreckage of a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. Investigators had identified him as the most likely organiser of last Friday's attacks, but it was initially thought he was in Syria. At a news conference, Mr Cazeneuve said "no information" had been received from other European countries about his arrival on the continent. But he said he had received intelligence that Abaaoud had passed through Greece on his return from Syria. "It is urgent that Europe wakes up, organises itself and defends itself against the terrorist threat," Mr Cazeneuve told reporters. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said some of those involved in the attacks had taken advantage of the migration crisis in Europe - which has seen thousands of asylum seekers arrive on the continent - to "slip into" France unnoticed.

BBC双语新闻讲解附字幕:对薇拉·布里顿回忆录的思考 听力文本 On this day in 1920 the United States voted not to join the League of Nations that had emerged out of the ‘never again’tide of feeling that accompanied the end of the First World War. Although President Woodrow Wilson had been appalled at the scale of human suffering he had seen, the increasingly isolationist tendencies of the US meant that the first organisation with an international peace agenda began its life without one of its potentially most powerful members. One of the early supporters of the League of Nations was Vera Brittain, whose classic memoir of the Great War, ‘Testament of Youth’, was released as a film on 16 January. Having read a review that found it sentimental I went to see it on Friday with mixed expectations. The film is primarily, like Brittain’s book, a commemoration of the lives and deaths of the young men whom she had loved and lost rather than an attempt to make a contemporary point. But the act of remembrance itself, can be a subversive and not just a sentimental act. Urged to forget and move on by those around her, Vera determined not only that she would not forget these young men, but that she would not forget what she herself had witnessed and learned as a V oluntary Nurse whilst at a military hospital in étaples. Confronted there with a hut full of German wounded Vera recognized, with shock, that these enemies were young men too, bleeding, suffering and dying far from home; the memory led to her initial support for the League of Nations, and in the face of the growing militarism of the 1930s, eventually to become one of the 20th century’s leading pacifists. As this month’s events in France continue to reverberate, and the release of the Guantanamo diaries raises inconvenient moral questions about western values, what we do with our memories is a key question. ‘Forgive and forget’is often not realistic, ignores the claims of justice, and is simply not safe, whilst the memory driven cycle of defending our own ‘high ground’runs the risk of causing more and more damage and of failing to see how our attitudes and actions –whoever we are - also need scrutiny. An alternative way to remember is offered by Miroslav V olf, a Croat theologian, writing out of the Balkan conflict of the 1990s. What he offers is a twofold way of remembering –a remembrance of harm done to us and ours that honours real anxiety and protects the vulnerable, but a remembrance which also honours the humanity of our enemies –a remembrance that restrains our desire for vengeance, opens up space for the scrutiny of our own actions, and constrains us to work for the
BBC news 2014-05-07--------- Police in the Philippines have arrested 58 people involved in an Internet extortion network. They are accused of posting fake profiles to social network sites, luring mostly elderly men into exposing themselves in video chats which then filmed and used to blackmail them for money. Basically what's been going on here is that criminals have now taken advantage of technology and in particularly, social networking site where they are creating multiple fake profiles to befriend as many people as possible. And the aim was of this is to encourage the person that befriended into having sex over the Internet in front of the webcam and unknown to the person this is filmed and recorded it. And then she used a blackmail further on. Many of these firms are so well-organized like a traditional business with the staff that they have got. So they really are very well-organized. And it enables them to commit crime all over the world rather than traditionally where they may have been confined to their own country. And these are mostly men, it seems, to think they are striking up kind of interval relationship over the Internet with a woman. It turns out that they are not. What kind of money is extorted from them? It varies anything from a few hundred pounds through to few thousand dollars. And it's whatever they think that they can afford. It's very similar and very specialized to some of the other form we've seen in particular countries, some countries where teams have got together and they are specialized in skimming cards. Others have specialized in other types of fraud. I guess it's possibly also the fact that Philippines does well in tourist from westernized countries to the Philippines. The US Secretary of States John Kerry says the South Sudan President Salva Kiir has agreed to peace talks aimed at ending the conflict there. Mr. Kerry was speaking after the talks with the president in the capital Juba. I've told President Kiir that the choices that both he and the opposition face are stark and clear and that the unspeakable human costs that we have seen over the course of last month and which could even grow if they fail to sit down are unacceptable to the global community.
A Practical Guide for International News Reporting in English and Chinese 英语对外新闻报道、中文新闻写作指导手册 本系列讲座以英文对外新闻报道的原则与规范为主要内容，辅之以中文新闻写作的艺术和技巧。在座的同学虽然有的来自翻译社，有的来自文学社，但是作为英语专业的学生，英文、中文的新闻写作素养对大家来说都是必须要具备的基本素质。不同的是大家的侧重点不同而已。那么翻译社的同学侧重于英语新闻写作的学习，而文学社的同学则侧重于中文写作的学习。尤其是其中一些外语系的同学，由于专业不是英语，更要锻炼自己的中文写作能力，并且在有能力的基础上再多了解一些英语新闻写作知识。 我们这个系列讲座或者说是培训，是一项长期的活动，以及长期的任务。相信同学们也希望能有固定的上课时间以及实际锻炼的机会。虽然这个不是正式的课程，也没有考试，但是我想，既然大家都加入到我们这个组织里来了，就是希望能够有所收获，因此，希望大家能够严格要求自己。这个严格体现在如下几个方面： 第一、时间观念 每周上课时间为周六下午2：30—5：30 （课间休息20分钟） 上课地点：4331培训教室 第二、学习、工作态度 严谨的学术精神 一丝不苟的求学精神 灵活的学习方法 广采博取，多学多记，包括文学、语言学、哲学、社会学、心理学、史学、经济学、 法学、自然科学以及宗教、艺术等各个门类的知识充实自己。新闻记者要求知识面广 博而精深，要成为一门或几门学问的专家，具有“多能一专”的知识结构。如果信息 量储存丰富，迸发灵感的机会肯定多。如果没有生活信息、经验的积累，大脑仓库里 空空如也，是无论如何也激发不了灵感来的。 第三、新闻工作者必备素质 民国初年，《申报》记者黄远生谈到新闻记者应该具备的条件：“新闻记者须有四能一、脑筋能想；二、腿脚能奔走；三、耳能听；四、手能写。调查研究，有种 种素养，是谓能想，交游肆应，能深知各方面势力之所存，以时访接，是谓能走， 闻一知十，闻此知彼，由显达隐，由旁得通，是谓能听，刻画叙述，不溢不漏，尊 重彼此之人格，力守绅士之态度，是谓能写。 ●广泛的社会活动能力 ?比如要求大家善于同群众交往，善于做群众工作，善于反映群众的呼声、 愿望和要求，善于从群众中寻找新闻线索，搜集报道素材。那么我们这里 所说的群众就是指我们身边的同学们、老师们、朋友们等等，我们要善于 发现校园里、校园外发生的与我们息息相关的事件，搜集大家都关心的报 道素材。 ?同时，也要善于同领导机关及领导同志打交道，做到举止适度，有礼有心。 既要注意尊重被采访的领导同志，虚心向他们请教，又要注意时时把握新
心痛与身痛,孰更痛? You've broken up with your girlfriend or boyfriend, your wife or husband has left you and you feel rejected, dejected, broken-hearted. Well, new research suggests that intense feelings of rejection are as hurtful as physical pain. The lead author of the study Ethan Kross said the reason is because the same regions of the brain that become active in response to painful sensory experiences are also activated during intense experiences of social rejection. The researchers hope their findings will offer new insigh t into how the experience of intense social loss may lead to various physical pain symptoms and disorders.
