　　The head of the National Security Agency says the nation’s surveillance programs have disrupted dozens of potential terrorist attacks. NPR's Craig Windham reports General Keith Alexander's testimony before a Senate panel is his first since information was leaked about the NSA’s sweeping Internet surveillance effort.

 

　　国安局局长基斯·亚历山大表示，美国的监控计划已经挫败了几十起潜在的恐怖袭击。据NPR新闻的克雷格·温德姆报道，这是美军上将基斯·亚历山大在国安局的大范围网络监控计划遭到泄露后首次在参议院调查组面前为该计划辩护。

 

　　Members of the Appropriations Committee asked Alexander about Edward Snowden, the former contract worker for the NSA, who leaked word of the agency's Internet surveillance, in particular how was the 29-year-old high shool dropout given access to highly classified information.

 

　　爱德华·斯诺登是前国安局承包商，由于他泄露国安局的网络监控计划，拨款委员会向亚历山大询问起关于爱德华·斯诺登的事情，他们特别想知道这名在高中就辍学的29岁承包商如何获取到这一高度机密信息。

 

　　“I have grave concerns over that, the access that he had.”

 

　　“我非常担心他获取这些机密信息的渠道。”

 

　　Alexander says there are clearly problems that must be addressed.

 

　　亚历山大表示，很明显，有些问题必须处理。

 

　　“We do have to go back and look at these processes, the oversight in those, where they went wrong and how we fix those.”

 

　　“我们的确需要回顾一下整个过程，看看这其中出现哪些疏忽与错误，以及如何解决这些问题。”

　　与此同时，斯诺登发誓将坚决抵制从香港引渡回国。上周，他向外界泄密后就一直留在香港。现年29岁的斯诺登对香港《南华早报》说，他既不是叛徒，也不是英雄，仅仅是一名美国人而已。

　　Congressman Markey has made climate change a top-tier issue in his bid to fill the Senate seat vacated by Secretary of State John Kerry.

　　The Black Forest fire is burning quite close to where the Waldo Canyon fire burned last summer. It's been almost a year since that happened. That was Colorado's most destructive wildfire and enormous evacuations there, so people here are, you know, getting pretty used to wildfires and evacuations and having to pick up and leave in a moment's notice.

 

　　此次黑森林山火与去年夏天的沃尔多峡谷大火发生的地点非常接近，没想到不到一年时间会再次发生火灾。那一场山火是科罗拉多州发生过最具破坏力、疏散人群众多的灾难。因此，当地人都对山火和疏散工作习以为常了，收到通知后立刻就能收拾东西准备离开。

Her plight drew national attention when a judge ordered the nation's organ network to make her eligible to receive a lung from an adult. Typically adult lungs are offered to other adults and adolescents first. No details have been released about who ended up being Sarah's donor. She's being treated at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where she had been in intensive care. In response to her case, the organ network this week announced a temporary process for children to be placed on the list for adult lungs as it reviews its policies. Rob Stein, NPR News.
