歐盟擬從土耳其等國難民營直接收容20萬人
HONG KONG — China’s economy grew 6.9 percent in the third quarter from a year ago, as a deepening industrial rout and slumping stock market pushed growth to its slowest quarterly pace since the global financial crisis of 2009.
香港——中國經濟在第三季度同比增長6.9%。由於不斷加劇的工業上的衰敗，以及大幅下滑的股市行情，導致這是自2009年全球金融危機以來，中國經濟最爲緩慢的季度增長。
Brussels will propose a large-scale refugee resettlement scheme early next year in a move that could see 200,000 migrants distributed across the bloc directly from camps in countries such as Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
布魯塞爾方面將於明年初提出一個大規模難民安置方案，此舉可能意味着從土耳其、約旦和黎巴嫩等國的難民營直接接受20萬移民，將其安置到歐盟各成員國。
The European Commission plans to propose a “structural EU-wide resettlement scheme” in March as part of a host of reforms aimed at stemming the flow of people from Turkey and nearby countries into the EU.
歐盟委員會(European Commission)計劃在3月份提出一份“結構性歐盟範圍移民安置方案”，作爲一整套改革的一部分，目的是阻止難民從土耳其和鄰近國家涌入歐盟境內。
Massive resettlement is seen as part of a quid pro quo of any deal with Turkey, which the EU is hoping to persuade to play a bigger role in checking the flow of migrants to Europe.
大規模重新安置被視爲與土耳其達成協議的交換條件；歐盟正希望說服土耳其在阻止移民涌入歐洲方面發揮更大作用。
Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, met Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s president, in Istanbul yesterday and promised her government would breathe new life into the country’s stalled accession negotiations with the EU in exchange for its help on the migration issue.
德國總理安格拉默克爾(Angela Merkel)昨日在伊斯坦布爾會晤土耳其總統雷傑普吠伊普埃爾多安(Recep Tayyip Erdogan)，承諾她的政府將給陷入僵局的土耳其加入歐盟的談判注入新的生命力，以換取該國在移民問題上給予協助。
“Germany is ready this year to open chapter 17, and fix benchmarks for 23 and 24,” Ms Merkel said at a press conference with Turkey’s prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu, referring to three areas — or chapters — of EU law that make up the membership talks.
“德國準備在今年開啓17章，並修正第23和24章的基準，”默克爾在與土耳其總理艾哈邁德達武特奧盧(Ahmet Davutoglu)聯合舉行的新聞發佈會上表示。她指的是管轄加入歐盟談判的歐盟法律的三個章節。
A candidate for EU membership since 1999, Turkey has opened only 14 out of 35 chapters since talks began in 2005. It has closed only one.
土耳其從1999年起就是歐盟成員國的候選人，但自2005年啓動談判以來，迄今只開啓了總共35章中的14章。只有1章完成了談判。
Ms Merkel, however, stopped short of endorsing a list of separate demands to which Turkey appears to have tied its support for the EU plan, including lifting visa restrictions for Turkish nationals by next summer and a change in the EU’s stance on the 1915 massacres of Ottoman Armenians.
不過，默克爾並未認同土耳其方面的一份要求清單，土耳其似乎將其與對歐盟的支持計劃掛鉤，其要求包括最遲在明年夏天取消針對土耳其國民的簽證限制，以及改變歐盟在1915年奧斯曼帝國亞美尼亞人遭到大屠殺一事上的立場。
Last week, EU member states agreed a package of up to 3bn in aid for Turkey to cope with its 2.5m refugees, mostly from neighbouring Syria. Mr Erdogan has poured scorn on Europe’s inability to cope with the influx. “They announce they’ll take in 30,000-40,000 refugees and then they are nominated for the Nobel for that,” the Turkish leader said on Friday. “We are hosting 2.5m refugees but nobody cares.”
上週，歐盟成員國同意向土耳其提供高達30億歐元的一攬子援助，以幫助應付該國境內的250萬難民，這些難民大多來自鄰國敘利亞。埃爾多安對歐洲無力應付難民洪流表示輕蔑。“他們宣佈將收容3、4萬難民，然後他們就被提名獲得諾貝爾獎，”這位土耳其領導人上週五表示。“我們有250萬難民，但沒人在乎。”
Officials will base the EU plan on recommendations from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which has called on the EU to resettle roughly 200,000 refugees directly from countries outside the EU, such as Lebanon and Turkey, a tenfold increase from the 20,000 refugees agreed this summer.
官員們將把聯合國難民署(UNHCR)的建議作爲歐盟計劃的依據；聯合國呼籲歐盟從歐盟以外的國家（如黎巴嫩和土耳其）直接收容大約20萬難民，10倍於今夏各方同意的2萬難民。增長弱於今年前兩個季度7%的增長，但要略高於經濟學家所預測的6.8%的增長率。中國政府今年經濟增長的官方目標約爲7%。
“China was facing increasing downward pressure of domestic economic development” in the first nine months of the year, the official statistics agency said in a statement accompanying the data released Monday morning in Beijing. Still, it added, “the overall performance of the national economy was stable and moving in a positive direction.”
週一上午，中國官方統計機構在北京發佈統計數據並在聲明中稱，在今年前九個月中，“國內經濟下行壓力加大”。但聲明中補充道：“經濟運行總體平穩，呈現穩中有進、穩中向好的發展態勢。”
