伊朗軍演試射三種新型導彈 (Iran Fires Three New Missiles in Military Exercises)

伊朗說，它在波斯灣的第二天軍事演習中試射了三種新型導彈。伊朗國家電視臺星期五播放了革命衛隊從岸邊的移動發射平臺和戰艦上試射伊朗官員所稱的“諾爾”、“科薩爾”和“納薩爾”三種導彈的畫面。伊朗官員說，導彈可以抵達波斯灣、霍爾木茲海峽以及阿曼海的任何地點。

伊朗星期四說，在10天軍事演習的第一天的最初幾個小時試射了若干枚導彈。美國國務卿賴斯表示，伊朗試射導彈在努力於顯示其實力，並且告訴全世界它不會被阻止獲得核武器。

Iran says it has test fired three new types of missiles during a second day of military exercises in the Persian Gulf. Iran state television showed footage Friday of the elite Revolutionary Guard firing what officials named Noor, Kowsar and Nasr missiles from mobile launching pads on the shore and from warships. Iranian officials say the missiles are capable of hitting targets anywhere in the Gulf region, the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman.

Iran said Thursday it had test-fired numerous missiles in the first hours of a 10-day military exercise. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tehran's action is an effort to demonstrate its strength and tell the world it will not be stopped from getting a nuclear weapon.

科研人員警告世界可食海洋生物面臨滅絕 (Researchers Say World Seafood Supplies Face Collapse)

一項新的研究警告：如果過度打撈和污染繼續下去，世界上的魚類和可食用海洋生物將面臨滅絕。這份發表在《科學雜誌》上的文章說，世界上可供食用的海洋生物的數量到2048年將瓦解。研究人員得出結論認為，海洋魚類的種類數量已經有所下降，其中有29%的面臨消亡。

這一研究的主要負責人說，這個結果完全超出了他的預期。他說，海洋生物多樣性的消失將危及海洋從全球變暖以及污染中恢復過來的能力。

A new study warns that world fish and seafood populations face collapse if overfishing and pollution continue. The study, published in the magazine, Science, says world seafood populations could collapse by the year 2048. The researchers conclude that the variety of ocean fish has already declined, with 29 percent of species in collapse.

The lead researcher in the study said the results were beyond anything he expected. He said the loss of what he called the oceans' biodiversity hampers the ability of the seas to recover from global warming and pollution.
