The Supreme of Council的宣言尽可能去满足抗争者的需求，在去年夏天的 选举过後，这些抗争者因为认为选举已经非常腐败，因此破坏国会大楼。 (went a long way toward~这句不太会翻译) The announcement came only minutes after the prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq , made his own appearance on state television and said the country’s economy was “stable” and that the primary focus of the new caretaker government would be “to bring security back to the Egyptian citizen.” caretaker: 这边的caretaker是形容词，表示"临时代理的" It was unclear whether the two statements were meant to compliment each other. The military did reiterate though that the civilian cabinet would remain in place over the next six months. 此段话是说，军队最高委员会与总理所发表的意见是否是互相赞美的。 (第二句的civilian cabinet倒是不太会翻译?) In Cairo’s central Tahrir Square, cars began circling the roundabout for the first time in over two weeks as Egyptians and tourists flocked around pictures of dead protesters that hung from clotheslines at one end of the square. 在开罗的Tahrir广场，车子已经可以开进园环，很多埃及人民与游客聚集在 抗议罹难者的照片前面。(clothesline指的好像是晾衣绳..感觉就不是这样翻) The police, civilians and soldiers with guns slung over their shoulders effected a form of impromptu crowd control, forming human chains to keep the crowds from spilling into traffic. 警察、民众、与军人身上斜挂着枪去控制民众进入广场影响交通。 slung over:是指斜挂着 Nearby, about 500 police officers joined protesters at the Interior Ministry and shouted for better wages. Even as pockets of protests continued, a measure of normalcy returned to the capital as Egyptians awaited word from the new military-led government on its impending negotiations with opposition groups. impending:即将发生的 normalcy:常态;正常 Just two days after Hosni Mubarak relinquished his post as president and withdrew to the resort of Sharm el Sheikh, the form of the military council to which he had ceded power began to take shape. The military statement confirmed that Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, 75, considered a loyalist of Mr. Mubarak, was the council’s leader. The military has sought to reassure Egyptians and the world that it would shepherd a transition to civilian rule and honor international commitments like the peace treaty with Israel. But even though it had begun acting on the protest movement’s demands, it was still unclear how or when military leaders would meet directly with protest leaders in order to start the process of bringing opposition figures into the government. 目前局势其实还不是很明朗，虽然政权已经转移，但是新的军政团队是否能够 把抗争者的需求带给政府。 shepherd a transition to civilian rule:带领国家人民走向文人统治。 Exultant and exhausted opposition leaders claimed their role in the country’s future over the weekend, pressing the army to lift the country’s emergency law — which suspending the constitution would seem to do — and release political prisoners. And they vowed to return to Tahrir Square next week to celebrate a victory and honor those who had died in the 18-day uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak after nearly 30 years of authoritarian rule. 开心与筋疲力尽的反对领导者声称他们的需求会进到未来的国家政策里面，主要 是提升政府紧急法规与释放政治犯。 Exultant:欣喜狂欢的 The impact of Egypt’s uprising rippled across the Arab world as protesters turned out in Algeria, where the police arrested leading organizers, and in Yemen, where pro-government forces beat demonstrators with clubs. The Palestinian leadership responded by announcing that it planned to hold presidential and parliamentary elections by September. And in Tunisia, which inspired Egypt’s uprising, hundreds demonstrated to cheer Mr. Mubarak’s ouster. 因为埃及的抗争活动，许多阿拉伯世界的国家都开始有了反应，像是阿尔及利亚 警方就逮捕了一些领导组织的首领，叶门也有一些案例。而巴基斯坦也宣称他们在九 月前会举办国会选举。 ouster:罢免 这篇实在有点长，看到最後都晕了，算是时事，很多单字也蛮有帮助的。 最近有越来越喜欢New York Time的新闻。 --
