一、Translate the following English passages into Chinese
Ousted NBC “Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams began his apology tour on Friday,
saying on the “Today” show that he “got it wrong” when he told exaggerated stories
about his reporting but declining to say he lied.
Williams, 56, was suspended by NBC for six months in February after he said on
“Nightly News” that the military helicopter he was traveling in at the start of the Iraq
War in 2003 was damaged by rocket fire. In fact, it had not been, and Williams was
taken to task by American veterans who were eyewitnesses to the events Williams
described.
The episode triggered an explosion of reporting about Williams’s characterizations of
his other reporting exploits. News articles turned up multiple instances in which he
exaggerated or embellished his role.
NBC on Thursday said Williams would return to the air, but has been reassigned to
MSNBC, the network’s little-watched cable channel, and will serve in a vaguely defined
role as a breaking-news anchor.(25 分)
The leaders of Russia and Greece produced a grand pageant of solidarity, friendship and
supposed economic cooperation at Russia’s annual gathering for global business
executives Friday, but the embrace seemed mostly about thumbing their noses at
Europe.
For President Vladimir V. Putin, giving the Greek prime minister a high-profile
international platform served to eclipse the issue of the war in eastern Ukraine, which
was all anybody could talk about at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
last year.
Alexis Tsipras, the leftist Greek prime minister, made a surprise appearance at the
forum’s main event, emerging from the audience in the packed convention center to
deliver a speech immediately after Mr. Putin.
It was a chance for him to bathe in warm applause while he denounced the European
Union, to show that he had friends and to try to pressure Brussels to give a little ground
in crucial debt talks next week. Yet he received no Russian money and limited
investment pledges.(25 分)
