Obama, Republicans Trade Charges on Health Care
奥巴马及反对派就医保改革相互交锋
U.S. President Barack Obama says critics of his health care reform proposals are circulating "outrageous myths." Opposition Republicans counter that it is Mr. Obama who does not have his facts straight.
美国总统奥巴马说,批评他的医保改革提议的人正在散布难以容忍的谎言.反对派共和党人反击说,歪曲事实的人正是奥巴马自己.
As President Obama loses ground in the debate on overhauling health care, he is using his weekly Internet address to challenge what he calls "phony claims" by his critics.
奥巴马总统在关于改革医保系统的辩论中处于失利地位,他利用自己每周因特网讲话的机会向他所谓反对者的‘不实指称’提出挑战.
"But it also should be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are," he said.
奥巴马说：“但是这应该也是实事求是的辩论,不该被随意曲解、全盘歪曲的手段所主导,也不应让从保持现状而获取最大利益的那些人来传播.”
The president is refuting claims made by critics at public meetings with lawmakers. He says taxpayers would not be required to fund abortions, he does not intend a government takeover of health care, and his plan would not cover illegal immigrants.
奥巴马总统驳斥了批评人士在立法人员参加的公众会议上所提出的指称.他说,不会要求纳税人为堕胎提供资金,他也不打算政府接管医保业,而且他的改革计划不会为非法移民提供医疗保险.
"Let's start with the false claim that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform," said the president. "That's not true. Illegal immigrants would not be covered. That idea has never even been on the table."
奥巴马说：“让我们先谈有关非法移民将在这次改革后得到健康保险的不实指称.那不是真的.非法移民不会得到保险.那种主张从来没被提出来讨论过.”
Mr. Obama is specifically targeting the notion of so-called "death panels," which former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said on the Internet would decide whether terminally ill senior citizens would live or die.
奥巴马特别把矛头指向所谓的‘死亡小组’,这是前阿拉斯加州长佩林在因特网上说过的要决定身患绝症的老年公民是否该继续存活还是死亡.
"And as every credible person who has looked into it has said, there are no so-called 'death panels'-an offensive notion to me and to the American people. These are phony claims meant to divide us," he said.
奥巴马说：“每一位曾经研究有关改革的可靠人士都说,改革中并没有所谓的‘死亡小组’这一项,这种概念对于我和美国人民说来都是令人反感的.这些虚假不实的指控有意在我们中间制造分裂.”
In the Republican Party response, Congressman Tom Price from the Southern state of Georgia says Mr. Obama is not telling the exact truth about health care.
来自南方乔治亚州的国会议员汤姆.普赖斯在代表共和党作出回应时说,奥巴马在谈论医保问题时没有完全说实话.
"As opposition to the Democrats' government-run plan is mounting, the president has said he would like to stamp out some of the disinformation floating around out there," he said. "The problem is, the president himself plays fast and loose with the facts."
普赖斯说：“随着民主党政府经营的健保改革计划遭到越来越多的反对,总统说,他想要铲除某些四处蔓延的误传.而问题是,正是总统本人在事实问题上反复无常.”
Congressman Price, who is also a medical doctor, rejects the president's claim that his initiative would not put excessive power to make medical decisions in the hands of the government.
普赖斯议员本人也是医生,他否定奥巴马总统的声称,即奥巴马的提议不会让政府掌握过大的权力来作医疗决定.
"Unfortunately, the plan being promoted by the White House would give Washington the power to make highly personal medical decisions on behalf of patients, on behalf of you," he said.
普赖斯说：“不幸的是,白宫所推行的计划会给予华盛顿权力来代表你本人去作出完全是个人的医疗决定.”
The United States is the only major industrial nation that does not have a comprehensive national health care plan for all its people.
美国是没有为全国人民提供全面的国家健保计划的唯一一个工业化大国.
Mr. Obama and his family will spend the next week on vacation, at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland and on the Atlantic resort island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
奥巴马及其全家下星期将渡假,地点是马里兰州的戴维营总统渡假地和麻萨诸塞州的大西洋渡假岛屿玛莎葡萄园岛.
China's Economy Showing Signs of Recovery
By Alison Klayman
Beijing
11 August 2009
New economic figures show that China's export-reliant economy still has weaknesses, but is showing signs of recovery. Still, there are warnings that much of the gain is dependent on government stimulus spending.
Chinese authorities said Tuesday that exports for July topped $105 billion, 23 percent less than exports last July.

Li Xiaochao, spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a Beijing briefing that "the grave international environment" affected Chinese exports.
Yet while exports were down compared to last year, they increased more than 10 percent from June.

Economist Stephen Green, with Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai, says this is a sign of recovery.
"Exports are running about five percent month-on-month growth at the moment, and imports are running seven percent month-on-month growth, so this is suggesting simply that the economy is recovering, it's growing," Green said. "But because we contracted, particularly on the trade side at the end of last year, we're still not yet up to previous year's levels, and quite a long way down, 15 percent down at least in terms of the exports."

Other figures released Tuesday also show signs of economic recovery. Retail sales rose more than 15 percent this July compared with the same month last year. Beijing hopes domestic consumption will help make up for declining exports, and sees consumer spending as crucial to boosting the economy.
Industrial output also increased 10.8 percent in the year to July, the highest it has been in nine months.
But China missed some of its economic forecasts. The National Bureau of Statistics had expected industrial output to grow by nearly 12 percent.

Also, gross domestic product grew by 7.1 percent in the first half of 2009, falling short of the government's eight percent growth target for the year.

Green says the eight percent target is still within reach.
"In terms of the official GDP numbers we should see the economy somewhere around eight, nine percent this year," he said.
Green says most of the growth so far this year is coming from government stimulus spending. Late last year the government released a $580 billion stimulus package, most of which is being spent on urban infrastructure, such as roads and power plants. These investments rose 33 percent in the first seven months of 2009 compared with the same period last year.

In keeping with the policy of investing in infrastructure to help create jobs, China said Tuesday it will invest almost $300 billion in railway construction over the next three years. By the end of this year, China's already extensive railway network would have over 50,000 miles of railway lines, second only to the United States.
