Retiree Giorgos Chatzifotiadis had queued up at three banks in Greece’s second city of Thessaloniki on Friday in the hope of withdrawing a pension on behalf of his wife, but all in vain.

已經退休的希臘人查茲弗齊亞狄斯週五在希臘第二大城塞薩羅尼基已先後在三家銀行排隊，希望能代表他太太提領退休金。

When he was told at the fourth that he could not withdraw his 120 euros（$133）, it was all too much and he collapsed in tears.

當他在第四家銀行被告知不能領出他的120歐元，這一切已令他無法承受而崩潰落淚。

The 77-year-old told AFP that he had broken down because he "cannot stand to see my country in this distress".

這名77歲老翁告訴法新社，他崩潰是因為「無法眼睜睜地看著我的國家陷入這種困境」。

The more oil and gas companies pump their saltwater waste into the ground, and the faster they do it, the more they have triggered earthquakes in the central United States, a massive new study found.

越多的石油和天然氣公司將他們排放的廢棄鹹水灌入地下，以及他們排放的速度越快，他們就會引起美國中央地帶越多的地震，一項大規模的新研究發現。

An unprecedented recent jump in quakes in America’s heartland can be traced to the stepped up rate that drilling wastewater is injected deep below the surface, according to a study in journal Science that looked at 187,570 injection wells over four decades.

美國心臟地帶的地震次數最近出現前所未有的躍升，這個問題的原因可以追溯於大量增加的鑽井廢水被灌入地表深處，根據一項刊載於《科學》期刊的研究指出，這項研究在過去40年來檢視了18萬7570口被灌注廢水的井。

It’s not so much the average-sized injection wells, but the supercharged ones that are causing the ground to shake. Wells that pumped more than 12 million gallons of saltwater into the ground per month were far more likely to trigger quakes than those that put lesser amounts per month, the study from the University of Colorado found.

在被灌入平均值廢水的井，地震發生的次數並沒那麼多，但在被灌入超量廢水的井，就會造成地表震動。每月被灌入地下超過1200萬加侖廢棄鹹水的井，遠比那些灌入較少量廢棄鹹水的井，更容易引發地震，這項由美國科羅拉多州大學所做的研究發現。

One night, not long after Andy was lying in bed, he began to hear the annoying buzz of mosquitoes. Then, those “vampires” went on to attack his face one after another. He got up, turned on the light, and swore to destroy every single one of them. Once the light was on, Andy was stunned to see a terrible swarm of mosquitoes in his bedroom. It seemed impossible to kill them all. Eventually, he burned out and gave up. He turned on the electric fan in the hopes of keeping the annoying bugs away, went back to bed, and covered his head with his blanket.
The next morning, Andy found out that a screen on one of the windows in his room was not entirely closed, which let the mosquitoes invade his room. It dawned on him that it was his carelessness that resulted in this nightmare. Andy indeed learned a lesson from the incident.

有一天晚上，在安迪躺在床上後不久，他開始聽到煩人的蚊子嗡嗡聲。然後，那些「吸血鬼」一隻接著一隻地攻擊他的臉。於是他起床開燈，發誓打死牠們每一隻。燈一開時，安迪很吃驚看到數量驚人的一大群蚊子在他房間裡。要殺光牠們全部似乎是不可能的。最後，他體力耗盡便放棄了。他開了電風扇希望能使討人厭的蚊子遠離他，然後回床上用毯子蓋住他的頭。
隔天早上，安迪發現在他房間的一扇紗窗沒完全關好，才使蚊子入侵他的房間。他頓悟到正是他的粗心才造成這場夢魘。安迪確實從這件事學到了教訓。

The car that defined an era of classic automobiles, the original Volkswagen Beetle, ended 65 years of production this month in 2003. Sometimes referred to as the Bug, it was firstdesigned to be cheap, simple, and capable of being mass-produced for the general public. After its debut in 1938, Volkswagen fell on hard times with the advent of World War II and Germany's eventual defeat by the Allied Forces. The company would have disappeared if it had not been for the efforts of a British Army officer, Major Ivan Hirst, who helped get Volkswagen's factories up and running again.

被定義為經典汽車時代的原始福斯金龜車在 2003 年七月時結束了六十五年的生產。金龜車有時被稱作Bug，最初它的設計考量是便宜、簡單和能夠被大量生產給大眾。1938年原始金龜車首次問世後，隨著第二次世界大戰的來臨和德國最後被同盟國擊敗，福斯汽車經歷了艱苦時期。如果沒有英國少校軍官伊凡•赫斯特努力幫助福斯汽車重新站起來的話，這家公司可能會消失。
