驱逐俄情报工作人员
order Russian intelligence operatives to leave the US
Today, I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election. These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior.
我(奥巴马)今天(当地时间2016年12月29日)命令采取一系列行动回应俄罗斯政府对美国官员施加侵占性的压力,并以此回应针对美国选举发起的网络攻击行动。我们在私下和公开场合多次向俄罗斯政府提出警告后采取了这些措施,这是对违反国际准则、试图损害美国利益的行为做出的必要和适当回应。
In October, my Administration publicized our assessment that Russia took actions intended to interfere with the U.S. election process. These data theft and disclosure activities could only have been directed by the highest levels of the Russian government. Moreover, our diplomats have experienced an unacceptable level of harassment in Moscow by Russian security services and police over the last year.
我们的政府10月公布的评估显示,俄罗斯采取行动试图对美国选举过程进行干预。只有俄罗斯最高领导层才能授权窃取数据和曝光的行为。此外,俄罗斯安全部门以及警方最近几年在莫斯科对我们的外交官施加的不可以接受的压力。
The State Department is also shutting down two Russian compounds, in Maryland and New York, used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes, and is declaring “persona non grata” 35 Russian intelligence operatives. They were acting in a manner inconsistent with their diplomatic status. Those individuals and their families were given 72 hours to leave the United States.
美国政府同时决定关闭在马里兰和纽约的两个用于情报收集工作的俄罗斯的办公地点,称35名俄罗斯情报工作人员“不受欢迎”,这些人的行为与他们的外交身份不符,要求这些官员及其家人在72小时之内离开美国。

大规模性侵
mass molestation
A large number of women may have been groped during New Year's Eve celebrations in Bangalore, India. Reports of the incident Saturday night emerged this week after a newspaper in Bangalore published images of women crying and seeking the protection of male friends, relatives and police amid thousands of revelers in the center of the city. The newspaper also reported that despite the photographic evidence and eye-witness accounts, police have not registered any complaints from women about molestation or harassment.
印度班加罗尔市很多女性或在跨年夜庆祝活动上遭遇性侵。当地一家报纸报道了这起发生在上周六(12月31日)晚间的事件,图中的女性在数千狂欢者中哭喊着向男性亲朋和警方寻求保护。该报纸还称虽然有图片证据和目击证人的描述,但警方尚未收到女性关于骚扰或性侵的投诉。
While the politician responsible for the region vowed Tuesday to make sure no "shameful acts" went unpunished, he also appeared to blame women and young people for copying "westerners, not only in their mindset but even in their dressing. So some girls are harassed, these kind of things do happen," Karnataka Home Minister G Parameswara said.
虽然当地官员周二(1月3日)声称任何“不雅行为”都难逃制裁,但同时指责女性和年轻人模仿西方的行为。内政部长G. 拜里米苏拉表示:“他们不仅在意识形态上效仿西方,穿衣风格亦是如此,所以有的女孩才被骚扰,才会发生这些丑闻。”
The minister's comments have prompted strong criticism. Lalitha Kumaramangalam, who heads the National Commission for Women, said Parameshwara owes the women of India an apology and should immediately resign. "Such remarks from the Home Minister are unacceptable and regrettable. I want to ask this Minister that are Indian men so pathetic and weak that when they see a woman in western clothes on a day of revelry, they get out of control?" she said.
内政部长的评论遭到猛烈抨击。印度全国妇女委员会主席Lalitha Kumaramangalam表示,拜里米苏拉应该向印度女性道歉,并立即下台。她说:“内政部长的这种言论让人无法接受,令人遗憾。我想问问这位部长,在狂欢日见到穿着西方服饰的女性,印度男人就会失去控制,变得如此可悲和意志薄弱了吗?”

grope 摸索;(口语)抚摸;猥亵
molestation 骚扰;调戏
harassment 烦恼;(性)骚扰

Laba congee
腊八粥
The Laba Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month, will fall on Jan. 5 this year. It's customary on this day to eat a special Laba congee, or eight treasure porridge, usually made with at least eight ingredients, representing people's prayers for harvest, happiness and peace.

Apart from the porridge, there are also traditions of making Laba garlic and Laba noodles in some parts of North China.
除了腊八粥之外,北方有些地区在当天还有腌腊八蒜、吃腊八面的传统习俗。
