[VOA听写] 2008-04-13

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是女性教育投资的新闻第一部分,标准VOA则是安吉丽娜朱莉的新闻的第二部分。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!

昨天第一次修改了听写文本的发布格式,今天又稍作修改,把错误del掉,正确的用红色展示出来,这样应该更清晰,更明白。不过自己的错误都被大家看到了,哈哈!敢于亮出自己的错误,这样才更加真实!反正自己平时写Blog,听写VOA都是用gvim,再加上html的插件,插入几个小小的tag还是很方便的,所以也耽误不了太多的时间。不知道你们觉得这样子如何呢?

Goldman Sachs Group, the international investment banking company, has launched a new program to provide ten (thousands)thousand poor women with business education. The program, called 10, 000 Women, will support partnerships between American and European universities and business schools in mostly developing countries. Partners will work together to establish or expand education programs lasting from five weeks to six months. Several partnerships may also offer full college degrees in business.

The 10, 000 Women program hopes to expand into the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and throughout Africa. Sixteen schools have agreed to take part in the program so far. They include Columbia, Harvard and Stanford universities in the United States. Other schools are in India, Rwanda, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania. The (Pan Africa)Pan-African University in (Lagas)Lagos, Nigeria is also a partner. Peter (B#)Bamkoleh heads that university’s Enterprise Development Services. He says about fifty women will receive training at the school every year. The women will take classes several times a week, then use what they have learned.

题目: Angelina Jolie Discusses Plight of Iraqi Children (2/2)

专有名词: Amman(安曼,约旦首都), Damascus(大马士革), Jordan, Syria

重点总结: traumatize(使受创伤,精神创伤)

原文

“We met with these refugees, many of whom had been (middle class)middle-class and educated citizens back in Iraq. We met with them in cold, crowded rooms in the (poor section)poorest sections of (#)Amman and (Damasks)Damascus, where they are (not)now concentrated.”

He (says)said Jordan and Syria have stretched their own already overcrowded schools to the limits and (their)that relief efforts to build more schools and provide more books should include local children in host countries. Jolie (says)said the vast majority of Iraqi children have been traumatized by the horrors of war and now have special needs.

(Those)These children are also traumatized. One in every five Iraqi registered in Syria is registered as a victim of torture or extreme violence. There was also a study done, that find that not surprisingly, 92 percent of the children in Iraq had learning impediments, due to a climate of fear.”

Jolie said there are no easy solutions to improve access to education in Iraq, but efforts should focus on improving education infrastructure for refugees in host countries, providing books and supplies, recruiting teachers and integrating school dropouts, especially girls.
