Americans in Afghanistan:Specially forced out
驻留阿富汗的美军：被驱逐出局

Feb 26th 2013, 12:03 by B.F. | KABUL

BY EXPELLING American special forces from an embattled province, Afghanistan’s government has thrown the NATO coalition into confusion. It has also turned attention to these elite but shadowy troops. Afghanistan’s national security council have given the forces two weeks to leave Wardak province, after accusing them of complicity in murders and disappearances.

阿富汗政府下令驱逐驻扎在一个四面楚歌之省的美国特种部队，北约联盟对此惶恐不安，阿富汗政府也将注意力转移到这些地下精英部队。自美军被指控在当地共谋实施谋杀和屠杀后，阿富汗国家安全委员会要求美军在两周内撤离瓦尔达克省。

Clicking your way to sound financial habits
一路点击，测试理财习惯

ONE way to learn basic financial literacy is to sit in a classroom and listen to someone drone on about retirement accounts and financial charges. An alternative is to run a nightclub for vampires and rake in money by getting your customers the blood-type they want, while socking away enough cash for retirement (a long one—you’re undead).

学习理财常识的一个方法就是：坐在教室听某人喋喋不休的讲着退休金账户以及融资费用相关的知识。另外一种方法就是开一家吸血鬼夜总会，给他们提供所需血型，大捞一笔，或者为退休存储足够的钱（如果你是不死之身，这一过程遥遥无期）。

A first conviction for war crimes sparks controversy
首次对战争罪行的定罪引发争议

Jan 26th 2013 |From the print edition

MORE than 41 years after the deaths of as many as 3m people in Bangladesh’s war of secession from Pakistan, a Bangladeshi war crimes tribunal has given its first verdict. On January 21st it sentenced Abul Kalam Azad to death in absentia for genocide and murder committed during the nine-month war in 1971. The verdict is being seen as a victory for Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister, and her Awami League party, who have made the tribunal an important part of her term in office.

孟加拉国曾为脱离巴基斯坦引发的战争致使3百万人丧生，近42年过去了，如今孟加拉国战争军事法庭对此进行首次裁决，于1月21日对阿布尔•卡拉姆•阿扎德在1971年长达9个月的战争中所犯下的种族灭绝及屠杀罪行进行缺席审判，处以死刑。这一裁决是谢赫•哈西娜总理和其人民联盟政党的一大胜利，也是她任期的一个重要垫脚石。

FRANCE’S decision on January 11th to begin air strikes against Islamist rebel positions in northern Mali, designed to prevent “the establishment of a terrorist state” in the African Sahel, contained elements of both surprise and familiarity.

法国决定1月11日对马里北部伊斯兰叛军武装据点进行空袭，以防止其在非洲撒赫勒地区建立恐怖主义国家，这一决定让人惊讶但又有点司空见惯。
