BBC News with Marion Marshall

Cardinals taking part in the conclave at the Vatican have cast their first votes of election of a new Pope and as expected black smoke has risen from the chimney over the Sistine Chapel. Alan Johnston was in Saint Peter’s Square in Rome.

馬里恩·馬歇爾為你播報(bào)BBC新聞。

梵蒂岡的紅衣主教們舉行秘密會(huì)議,進(jìn)行選舉新教皇的首輪投票,結(jié)果正如預(yù)料的那樣,西斯廷教堂的煙囪里冒出了黑煙。艾倫·約翰斯頓在羅馬圣彼特廣場(chǎng)報(bào)道。

On a cold, wet evening here, a sense of expectation built and built. As more of more people gathered under umbrellas in Saint Peter’s Square, all eyes are on the little chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel and eventually the smoke came but it was black smoke. It’s signaled that as was very widely expected the first ballot had been inconclusive, no Pope had been elected and there will need to be more rounds of voting.

今晚天氣寒冷又潮濕,人們不斷地期待著結(jié)果。圣彼特廣場(chǎng)擠滿了越來(lái)越多的人,他們打著雨傘,全都盯著西斯廷教堂的小煙囪,最后煙霧出來(lái)了,但卻是黑色的。這表明正如普遍預(yù)料的那樣,首輪投票沒(méi)有結(jié)果,沒(méi)有選出教皇,還需進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的投票。

 

Scientists from the American space agency NASA say the Mars rover Curiosity has found the basic chemicals which could have supported primitive life in the distant past. The robot was analyzing a sample of rock drilled out last month in a former riverbed. It identified sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon. Researchers say these elements could have combined to provide an energy source for microorganism. Michael Meyer is Curiosity’s lead scientist.

“I guess one way to look at this is with Curiosity we have been able to take this to the next level of understanding whether or not Mars has had them all. We actually know there’s particular environment that water was there for significant amount of time, that it was neutral, wasn’t too salty. So as we look into the details it looks better.”

“我想我們可以這么看待‘好奇號(hào)’的這個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn),那就是,我們可以進(jìn)行下一步的研究,探明火星是否有這些物質(zhì)。我們可以確定的是,在相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間里,火星具備一定的可以容許水存在的特別環(huán)境,這種水是中性的,不是太咸。因此我們可以進(jìn)一步研究其中的細(xì)節(jié)。”
