01 Saudi Arabia Gives Up Non-Permanent Seat on the UN Security Council
沙特拒绝安理会非常任理事国席位
◆ 词解新闻意 Key words
问： “联合国安理会”英语怎么说？
答： the UN Security Council [??] [ju:''en] [si''kju?r?ti] [''kaunsl]
充电小站：联合国安全理事会是联合国的6大主要机构之一。安理会由5个常任理事国和10个非常任理事国组成。非常任理事国由联合国大会选举产生，最初为6个，1965年开始增加到10个，席位按地区分配。非常任理事国任期2年，每年更换5个。当地时间2013年10月17日，乍得、智利、立陶宛、尼日利亚、沙特阿拉伯当选安理会非常任理事国，2014年1月1日开始任期。但沙特阿拉伯在24小时内就拒绝了这一职位，引起世界哗然。
◆ 轻松听新闻 Listening
A day after Saudi Arabia secure for the first time on non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, the Saudi government has announced it will not take it up.
Its blame what it called double standards at the Security Council which it claims made it difficult to work towards peace. The Saudi government said it wanted reforms but gave no details. The country is previously raised alarm at what it sees as an international failure to act on Syria where it backs the rebels fighting President Assad. Jonathan Markus is our diplomatic
correspondent. I ask him to explain what''s going on. "Well it''s very strange on the face of things Saudi Arabia is explaining its behavior by saying that they are criticizing the double standards that they say have made it hard for the world body—the UN Security Council to end conflicts and wars. Now clearly I am sure that is the reference to the Syrian crisis where clearly Saudis back the rebels very strongly. They are as frustrated I suppose as many countries are at the UN Security Council because of the divisions between Russia and the Western has not been able to make any diplomatic progress. But it''s a kind of curious in a sense that they want to give up the possibility of having a seat rather than perhaps, you know, sitting inside the body and making their concerns known there."
◆ 开心译分钟 Translation
就在沙特阿拉伯首次①获得安理会非常任理事国席位的一天后，沙特政府宣布将拒绝接受②这一席位。
沙特责备安理会对待和平问题上的双重标准使其政策难以落实。沙特政府表示政府将进行改革，但没有透露更多的信息。沙特早前对一次针对叙利亚反政府武装反对总统阿萨德的国际行动发出警告③。乔纳森?马库斯是我们的外交新闻记者。我对他进行了采访，要他告诉我们到底发生④了什么事。“这很奇怪，从表面上⑤看，沙特阿拉伯对其行为的解释是他们指责联合国的双重标准使得世界冲突与战争难以得到解决。这无疑是在影射叙利亚问题，沙特政府坚定地支持叙利亚反政府武装。我想沙特和其他安理会成员国家一样⑥因为对俄罗斯和西方国家之间的分歧没有达成⑦任何外交进展⑧感到失望。但某种意义⑨上说，人们还是对沙特放弃⑩成为安理会一员，并放弃在安理会内部发表看法和观点感到很好奇。”

◆ 听力点拨与解析
Part A
what it called double standards at the Security Council which it claims made it difficult to work towards peace
要听懂这个句子，主要是要听清其中主句和从句的关系，首先是what引导的宾语从句what it called double standards at the Security Council，然后是定语从句修饰前面的council，只要听出了这两个结构，整句话的意思就清楚了。
Part B
1. D 此题考查的是动词短语的搭配。take...after“长得像”，take...off“起飞”，take...away“带走”，take...up“接受”。所以D是正确答案。
2. B 选项中4个短语的意思分别是going through“浏览检查”，going on“发生”，going off“爆炸”，going over“复习”，因此最佳选项是B，表示解释
正在发生什么。
3. C 这道题的4个选项的意思分别是give off“散发出”，give out“分发”，give up“放弃”，give in“屈服”。A,B,D的意思和后面的possibility不匹
配，所以正确的答案是C。
