Asked about the Israeli raid, President Obama’s deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes said Syria should not further destabilize the region by transferring weaponry to Hezbollah. He didn’t confirm details of the raid itself, but another American official has confirmed to the BBC that the target was, as widely reported, a convoy carrying Russian made surface to air missiles. The strike took place close to Syria’s border with Lebanon and diplomats in Washington believe the missiles were being delivered to Hezbollah.

The United States has described Iran’s plan to speed up uranium enrichment by using better equipment as a provocative step. Iran has told the International Atomic Energy Agency it intends to install new centrifuges at its nuclear plant in Natanz. The White House spokesman Jae Carney called it a further escalation and violation of United Nations resolutions.
美国称伊朗准备加速铀浓缩，而使用更好的设备就是挑衅性的一步。伊朗告诉国际原子能机构，本国将在纳坦兹的核电站安装新的离心机。白宫发言人Jae Carney称这是进一步的升级，违反了联合国决议。
“It will mark, yet, another provocative step by Iran and will only invite further isolation by the international community. We continue to believe that there’s time and space for diplomacy to work, but actions like these undercut the efforts of international community to resolve these concerns over Iran’s nuclear weapons.”
“这标志着伊朗进一步的挑衅，只会令国际社会对其加强孤立。我们仍然认为，仍有时间和空间来使外交手段发挥作用，但此类行为削弱了国际社会解决伊朗核武器之类问题的努力。”

The French defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says that three weeks of French air strikes have left Islamist rebels in northern Mali scattered and in disarray. Mr. Le Drian said that some have fled the country and others have made a tactical withdrawal to mountainous areas, but he said that fighting against the rebels who seized northern Mali last year had not ended.
法国国防部长勒德里安称，经过法国三周的空袭，如今马里北部的伊斯兰叛军七零八碎、溃不成军。勒德里安说已有部分叛军逃离该国，其余的战略撤退到山区。但他说针对叛军的战斗还未结束。去年三月叛军占领了马里北部。
The highest court in the European Union has ruled that airlines must compensate passengers whose flights are canceled even if disruptions are caused by extraordinary events such as volcanic eruptions. The European court of justice made the ruling after a woman in Ireland sued the budget carrier Ryanair because she was stranded in 2010 when ash clouds from a volcano in Iceland forced the closure of most Europe’s airspace. Ryanair has been ordered to cover the costs the woman incurred. Richard Westcott reports.
欧盟最高法院判定，即使是因为诸如火山爆发等意外事件而取消航班，航空公司也要赔偿乘客的损失。欧洲法院之所以如此判定，是因为爱尔兰一名妇女起诉廉价航空公司瑞安航空，事情发生在2010年，当时冰岛的火山灰迫使欧洲的大多数航班停飞。瑞安航空被判定赔偿这名妇女的损失。理查德·威斯克报道。
Ryanair passenger Denise McDonagh was forced to spend an extra week in Portugal and she charged the airline more than 900 pounds for her hotels, transport and meal, something she’s allowed to do under EU rules. But rather than pay up what the company had done with every other stranded passenger, Ryanair decided to test the case in the courts. They wanted to put a limit on future payouts, but they lost the case. Boss Michael O’Leary says it’s a disaster for the industry.
瑞安航空的乘客 Denise McDonagh被迫在葡萄牙多呆了一周时间，于是她要求该航空公司赔偿她900磅，支付她住宿、交通和饮食而花掉的费用，根据欧盟规定她可以这么做。但这家公司没有向每位被滞留乘客都赔偿损失，而是决定静候处理此案。他们希望能对未来的赔偿进行限制，但却输掉了这场官司。老板奥利瑞说这对航空业来说是场灾难。
