文字稿

Reports from the United States say the Justice Department has launched a criminal probe into Volkswagen's rigging of its emission tests. Volkswagen has admitted that 11m of its diesel vehicles contained software to evade emissions tests.

來自美國的消息說美國司法部已開始調(diào)查大眾公司對其車輛尾氣檢測的舞弊行為。大眾已承認(rèn)約有1100萬輛車使用了這種在檢車時能幫助顯示排放較少廢氣的應(yīng)用軟件程序。

Central European states have reacted angrily to plans to use compulsory quotas to relocate 120,000 refugees across the continent. The idea was voted through despite objections from several countries including Hungary and the Czech Republic.

中歐一些國家對在歐洲境內(nèi)安置12萬名移民的強制性配額協(xié)議表示不滿。此協(xié)議經(jīng)投票通過，盡管有包括匈牙利和捷克在內(nèi)的一些國家表示反對。

The renowned pop artist Andy Warhol predicted that one day everyone would be famous for 15 minutes but it would be Pele whose fame would last for 15 centuries. Immortalised in room after room of artwork, it's easy to believe that he may always be the gold standard against which all footballers are judged.

著名流行藝術(shù)家安迪·沃霍爾曾預(yù)言未來的一天每個人都能獲得15分鐘的名氣，不過巴西著名足球明星貝利的名氣可能會持續(xù)15個世紀(jì)。通過一間間掛滿藝術(shù)品的房間不難相信貝利塑造的形象可能永遠(yuǎn)會是評價所有足球運動員的黃金標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
