We begin with protests that are heating up in the financial district of London. Thousands of protesters have gathered at the steps of the Bank of England--the UK's version of federal reserve and they're protesting globalization and calling for G-20 nations to do more to protect the environment. President Obama is meeting with other world leaders to discuss economic solutions. The President says we can only recover if we all work together.
首先我们关注一下发生在伦敦金融区的抗议游行。数千人聚集在联邦储备系统英国部所在地英格兰银行抗议全球化，同时呼吁20国更多关心保护环境。总统奥巴马会见其他国家领导人商讨解决经济危机的办法。总统指出唯有共同合作才能复兴经济。
President Obama met this morning in London with Russia's president. The two leaders talked about nuclear arms reduction. Negotiations to work out a new agreement on reducing nuclear arms will begin soon. This comes as Mr. Obama announced he is heading to Moscow in July .

The Justice Department is asking federal court to set aside the verdict and drop all charges against former senator Ted Stevens. The Alaska republican was convicted last October on charges of lying on financial disclosure forms in order to conceal gifts received from friends. But the Justice Department now admits that Stevens was not given access to notes that could have helped him during his trial.
司法部要求联邦法院驳回对前议员泰德史蒂文森的降职和控告的反对意见。这位阿拉斯加州共和主义者去年十月为了取消朋友的送礼谎报财务状况披露表而受指控。司法部禁止有助于他庭审的记录呈供法庭。

虽然我今天才把第四周第五天的翻译贴上来，但其实是上周就做完了的，录音模仿也早贴上来的。上周真是忙的不可开交，还好没有耽误太长时间。
一个月过去了，总结一下：
1. 听写，是进步最明显的，无论从用时上，还是正确率上都每天看到提高。而且后来我看国家地理频道的时候也能感觉到因为平时的听新闻花的功夫，没有感觉那么费劲了。呵呵。开心
2. 实话讲，翻译本身我没有看到自己有提高，主要是不管我翻译多少，都是在自己已有的水平上翻译，没有对比没有参照没有纠正就没办法进步。这个特别头疼。得赶紧想办法，还要多看看有关翻译的书。
3. 最麻烦的还是词汇。自己词汇量真是那个少啊！！！急需积累！！

要申请第二个月计划了。

This is a look at US market share over the first three months of this year. As Ford has not taken government money, analysts say that consumer's confidence in the company has increased. That has resulted in increasing sales versus its competitors. Take a look at the beginning of this year, especially recently, Ford's market share, now over 15% in the United States, and that may seem like a small increase from 14 to 15.1%. But when you’re talking about millions of millions of vehicles sold in this country every year, that is significant for the company. We will have Ford's numbers as soon as they come out on Friday morning. We’ll also have a one-on-one interview with Ford's president and CEO on Friday. It'll be right here on CNN Money.

Well, it has been called the healthiest patient in the ICU, Ford Motor, the only of the Big Three US automakers not to take TARP money, at least not yet. It is reporting its first quarter earnings on Friday morning. But what’s even more important beyond those numbers, is what this man, Alan Mulally, the president and CEO of Ford has to say, not only about the future of his company, but of the US auto industry in general.
一直被称为加护病房里最健康的病人的福特汽车集团，美国三大汽车制造商中唯一一个没有接受援助基金的的集团，至少现在还没有。星期五早间将报道其第一季度的盈利。但这些数字背后更重要的是，这个人，Alan Mulally，福特公司总裁兼首席执行官，不仅是他的公司的未来，还有全体美国的汽车制造业。
Let's take a step back and look at what 2008 meant for Ford- a lot of red ink, folks. Take a look here: the losses in 2008 of Ford Motor exceeding 14 billion dollars, the red ink expected to continue into 2009. The first quarter number’s coming out on Friday. We’re expected to see losses of 2.8 billion dollars.
我们回头看一下2008年的大额赤字对福特简直是无法想象。看这里，2008年福特汽车损失近140亿美元，2009年赤字还将继续。第一季度的数字统计将于周五发布。预计损失28亿。
But beyond the numbers, Ford has not taken government aid. Let's take a look at it compared to its peers.
但抛开这些数据看，福特还没有接受政府援助。我们对比其他汽车巨头看一下。
Chrysler, and General Motors, currently on the brink, their fate in question, have taken billions upon billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded aid. Ford has not as of yet. We want to know what Alan Mulally has to say about that. Will the company maintain that stance? Or will it have to take government funding?
克莱斯勒和通用正处于危险边缘，命运难讲，但已经接受了纳税人基金援助数亿美元。福特还没有。我们想知道Alan Mulally对此的看法。是继续让公司保持这样的局面还是会接受政府基金？
Ford has also benefited from an increase in confidence, analysts say, in its brand versus its competitors, Chrysler and General Motors. This is a look at US market share over the first three months of this year.
分析专家称，对比他的竞争者克莱斯勒和通用，福特信心增长不少。我们来看一下今年过去三个月美国股市行情。
As Ford has not taken government money, analysts say that consumer's confidence in the company has increased. That has resulted in increasing sales versus its competitors. Take a look at the beginning of this year, especially recently, Ford's market share, now over 15% in the United States, and that may seem like a small increase from 14 to 15.1%. But when you’re talking about millions of millions of vehicles sold in this country every year. That is significant for the company. We will have Ford's numbers as soon as they come out on Friday morning. We’ll also have a one-on-one interview with Ford's president and CEO on Friday. It'll be right here, on CNN Money.
分析家称，鉴于福特没有接受政府资金，消费者对该公司的信心增长。这是相比于竞争者销售量上升的结果。看一下今年年初，尤其是最近福特的股市行情，在美国超过15%，看起来从14%上升到15.1%增长很小，但你想一下每年在这个国家要卖出几百万辆机车，就知道这个上升幅度有多大。星期五早间我们将尽快看到福特的最新数据。届时将面对面采访福特总裁兼首席执行官。到时敬请关注CNN频道《金钱》栏目。
