[VOA听写] 2008-04-07

作者: Hugh 在四月 7th, 2008 发表

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是亚洲HIV的新闻第一部分，标准VOA则是关于肯尼亚的新闻的第二部分。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！

慢速VOA的部分还是很简单的，尤其是和今天的标准VOA来比较的话。没有任何的生词，没有任何的难点，相信听过的朋友都会有这样的感觉。

今天的标准VOA，不管你以前参与过没有，都来试试看吧！第一段的采访直接听崩溃了，不知道英语说成这样怎么听啊！除了第一段之外，基本上没有什么难点。

希望今天是最后一次在晚上进行VOA听写了，从明天开始重新开始自己早起的习惯，今天基本上从前几天的疲劳当中缓解过来了。

题目: The Future of a Vaccine, and New Warning for Asia (1/2)

专有名词: Chakravarchi Rangarajan（诡异的印度人名）

重点总结: sell sex（原来是这么表达的）

原文

A new study says Asia must do more to prevent AIDS, or the number of people infected with HIV could double by 2020.

Today about 5 million people in Asia are living with the virus that causes AIDS. An estimated three hundred thousand people died of HIV-related diseases in Asia last year. At current rates, that number could rise to almost five hundred thousand.

The United Nations program on HIV/AIDS requested the study, led by Indian economist Chakravarchi Rangarajan. The report says 3 main groups are driving the spread of AIDS in Asia. One group is sex workers and the men who use them. Another is injection drug users who share needles. And the third group are men who have unprotected sex with other men.

Researchers estimate that as many as 10 million women in Asia sell sex. At least 75 million men buy on a regular basis. In many Asian countries, these men and their female partners represent the largest group of people living with HIV. The study found that AIDS is the most likely cause of death and lost work days for people in Asia between the ages of 15 and 44.

题目: Rainly Season Threatens Kenya’s Internally Displaced (2/2)

专有名词: Rift Valley, Nakuru, Nairobi, Naomi Shaaban

重点总结: 第一段怎么听？

原文

“These are naturally in such times, only that now there are more children out in these circumstances, there are more vulnerable people. Obviously the children play around in these camps and it is a challenge. You cannot stop children from playing, but they are playing in very muddy areas, diseases are likely to occur selective.”

So far the rains have been particular concerns for camps around the Rift valley town Nakuru, where residents have been relocated to higher ground. But if strong winds continue there could be increasing problems elsewhere. The largest concentration of camps is in the Rift Valley, and around the capital Nairobi.

Many of those displaces belong to ethnic minorities in their communities and have their homes attacked by members of other tribes, often neighbors. Many IDPs say the government must take steps to ensure security before they will be willing to return.

Special Program Minister Naomi Shaaban, who is in charge of resettlement policy, has said the government requires more money to implement programs but he has given little indication of what the timeline might look like.
