我是Valory Sundus，給您帶來最重要的BBC世界新聞。

Coming up, the United States has flown twobombers over disputed islands in the East ChinaSea.

今天新聞的主要內(nèi)容有：美國兩架轟炸機飛過中國東海具有爭議的島嶼上空;

And, "we just don't know who might buy. I mean, there are a number of celebrities that buythem. I may have heard that Leonardo DiCaprio bought a dinosaur once." An entire dinosaurskeleton goes up for auction here in Britain.

“我們很好奇誰會買下這只恐龍。我們知道有許多明星買過恐龍骨，萊昂納多·迪卡普里奧就買過一次恐龍骨。”一具完整的恐龍骨架正在英國拍賣。

But we'll start this edition of the global podcast with the news that the United States says it'sflown two B-52 bombers over disputed islands in the East China Sea. China has recentlydeclared the area part of its air defense zone, saying that any planes which fly over the islandshave to abide by a series of rules of a what it calls "emergency military measures". Japan whichalso claims the islands rejected China's declaration, as did Taiwan and South Korea. The USwas also unhappy.

首 先來看美國的消息。美國方面稱已經(jīng)派出兩架B-52轟炸機飛過中國東海具有爭議的島嶼上空。前不久，中國宣布劃設(shè)該地區(qū)為其防空識別區(qū)，飛過這里的任何飛 機都必須遵守所謂的“緊急軍事措施”中的法規(guī)。同樣對該領(lǐng)域宣布主權(quán)的日本拒絕接受這一舉動，臺灣和韓國也不承認這項法規(guī)。對此，美國方面也不樂意。

Here is what the US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki had to say about the issue at anew conference in Washington. "This, you know, lateral action appears to be an attempt to,you know, laterally change the status quo in the East China Sea. That will raise regionaltensions and increase the risk of miscalculation, confrontation and accidents. And we'veurged the Chinese to exercise caution and restraint. We are also consulting with Japan andother affected parties."

美國國務(wù)院新聞發(fā)言人珍妮佛·帕莎 其在華盛頓的一次新聞發(fā)布會上表示：“我們這次側(cè)翼行動意圖是改變中國東海的現(xiàn)狀。防空識別區(qū)將造成趨于緊張局勢，增加誤判、對抗和事故的風(fēng)險。我們已經(jīng) 敦促中國謹慎、克制地行事。我們也正在同日本以及其他受到影響的國家或地區(qū)進行協(xié)商。”

So far, there is no reaction from China. So why did the Americans take this possibly riskycause of action? Jonny Dymond is in Washington.

目前為止，中國未對此事做出任何回應(yīng)。那么，美國為什么會采取這樣冒險的行動呢?我們的記者約翰尼·戴蒙德從華盛頓發(fā)來報道。

"The Pentagon says this was a long planned training mission. And I think what it's patentlyclear from the reaction by both the Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel at the weekend and fromthe White House before the news leaked out of these planes having made this mission is thatAmerica does not recognise this new air defense zone. The White House and the Secretary ofDefense both made it very clear that they thought the air defense zone was a mistake. TheSecretary of Defense called it destabilizing, increasing the risk of misunderstanding andmiscalculation. And America has effectively just ignored it by pushing its planes through thiszone without doing any of the kind of notifications the Chinese had insisted people would haveto do if they were going to fly through the zone."

“美國國防部稱，這次行動是一次準(zhǔn)備已久的演練。我認為，在轟 炸機執(zhí)行任務(wù)的消息公開前，美國國防部長查克·哈格爾本周末的回應(yīng)和白宮的回應(yīng)，都清楚地說明了一點，即美國不承認中國宣布的新防空識別區(qū)。白宮方面和國 防部長都直接表明防空識別區(qū)是一個錯誤。國防部長說它是“使地區(qū)不穩(wěn)定的因素”，會增加誤解誤判的風(fēng)險。美國就這樣直接忽視了該區(qū)域的屬性，在沒有通過中 國政府認證的前提下派出飛機飛過該區(qū)域。”

Should this be seen as a challenge to the Chinese or more a show of solidarity with US alliesin the region?

可以把美國的這次行動視為對中國的挑戰(zhàn)嗎?還是為了展示美國與該區(qū)域盟友的團結(jié)?

"I think it's probably the latter. I don't think the US is gonna strutting around here."

“我認為很有可能是后者。我認為美國是不會一直在這里耀武揚威的。”
