[VOA听写] 2008-04-02
欢迎来到“杂乱的书桌”每天准时为你带来的VOA听写，本期的慢速VOA是血吸虫病的新闻第二部分，标准VOA则是气候变化的新闻的第二部分。还犹豫什么，赶紧和Hugh一起加入到学习英语，锻炼听写的队伍中来吧！
今天的慢速VOA当中，依然错误很多，和昨天一样，除了知道了schistosomiasis这个词的拼写之外依然没有什么进步，在想可能是新闻的内容导致难度增加吧，因为很多词都不知道是什么。另外诸如动词的时态，名词的单复数依然还是会出现这样的错误，可能真的是听的时候不太一样吧，听懂没问题，但是这些细节就是不如native speaker那么敏感了。
今天的标准VOA当中，难度应该说不大，几个错误在于从句中忽略了that，以及个别位置漏掉了it，a这样的小词。几个词汇也是值得注意的，在后面都总结出来了，应该说吸引我的地方时中间一段关于Bush stamp以及whatever stamp的这种表达，应该学会。
今天才发现前两次的VOA听写都把音频给忘掉了，不过也没有朋友提醒，看来对这个有兴趣的朋友不是很多，哈哈！

题目: New Drug Shows Promise Against Worm Disease (2/2)
专有名词: schistosomiasis（血吸虫病）, praziquantel（吡喹酮）, bilharzia（血吸虫）, intestinal（肠的）,urinary（泌尿的）
重点总结: N/A
原文
Oxygen use produces oxygen-free radicals that can destroy an organism. The worm has a protective enzyme. But Professor Williams says the experimental drug disables this enzyme causing the worm to self-destruct.
Since the 1980s, doctors in more than 70 tropical nations have used one main drug to treat schistosomiasis. Public health experts worry that the worms will become resistant to this drug - praziquantel.
Each year, 280,000 people die of schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia and snail fever. The microscopic worms infect snails which in turn lay infected eggs. Humans become infected when they enter fresh water where the snails live. The worms dig through skin to enter the body. They move into blood vessels that supply the intestinal and usual urinary systems.
Then if worm eggs in human waste enter fresh water, more snails and people become infected. More studies are needed on the experimental new drug. The scientists say the results in mice were better than all the targets set by the World Health Organization for new schistosomiasis compounds. They hope the drug will be ready for testing in humans in four to five years.
译文
氧气的消耗会产生能够破坏有机体的氧自由基。这种蠕虫有一种保护酶。但Williams教授表示，这种试验性药品能够这种酶无法发挥作用，导致这种蠕虫自己死亡。
从20世纪80年代起，70多个热带国家的医生们都在使用一种主要的药物来治疗血吸虫病。公共健康专家担心，蠕虫将会对这种叫做吡喹酮的药物产生抗药性。
每年有28万人死于血吸虫病，也叫做裂体血吸虫或者蜗牛热。这种在显微镜下可见的蠕虫能够感染蜗牛，继而产下虫卵。当人们接触了蜗牛生活的淡水时就会被感染。蠕虫钻过皮肤进入体内。他们进入肠道和泌尿系统的血管。
然后，如果虫卵随人类的粪便进入淡水，更多的蜗牛和人类会受到感染。对于这种实验性药物还需要更多的研究。科学家们表示在老鼠身上的的研究结果优于世界卫生组织对治疗血吸虫病的新型复合药物所设定的全部目标。他们希望这种药物能够在今后的4到5年内在人类身上进行测试。

题目: Candidates Challenged to Make Global Warming Priority (2/3)
专有名词: Jonathan Shrier, post-Kyoto, Roger Ballentine, Bill Becker,
重点总结: subvert（颠覆), 第二段采访的开头部分，结尾的immediate
原文
Jonathan Shrier is a member of the National Security Council under President Bush. He says a White House initiative to engage the major polluting nations from both developed and developing countries began last December. He says the goal is not to subvert a new post-Kyoto agreement to but to contribute to it.
“I think that the key point is that the need for the world’s largest economies, the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases to talk collectively about solutions in parallel or in collaboration is going to live on. I certainly hope that we find a way to keep this going.”
Roger Ballentine says that plan may require some refinement by the next president.
“And it would end up being basically the same thing, but you are going to have to take the Bush stamp off it in a very clear way, and put a whatever stamp on it.”
Bill Baker says the Presidential Climate Action Plan details a ‘G-8+5′ scheme, in which polluters from developing countries make early commitments but defer immediate action.
译文
Jonathan Shrier是布什政府中国家安全委员会的成员。他表示，白宫从去年12月份就开始着手联合一些主要的污染国，包括发达国家和发展中国家。他称，其目的不是去推翻京都协定书，而是为其做出贡献。
“我认为关键在于，全球最大的经济体和全球最大的温室效应气体排放国需要以并行或合作的方式探讨解决方法。我当然希望能找到一个能够持续下去的方法。
Roger Ballentine称，该计划可能需要下一任总统做出一些改善。“最终可能还是基本一样的内容，但你必须以非常清晰的方式去掉‘布什’的标记，然后贴上不管是哪位总统的标记。”
Bill Becker说，总统气候行动计划详述了一个“八国集团加五”的方案，在该方案中，来自发展中国家的污染者需要首先作出承诺，但可以推迟立即行动。
