A defiant Jerry Sandusky maintains he is innocent doing so, even as a Pennsylvania judge sentenced him to at least 30 years in prison for sexually abusing children. NPR's Jeff Brady reports the former Penn State assistant coach faced three of his victims during a sentencing hearing today.
宾夕法尼亚州一名法官宣判杰里·桑达斯基因性侵儿童至少入狱30年，但杰里依然反抗，并坚称自己无罪。NPR的杰夫·布拉迪报道称，今天，这位前宾州助理教练在量刑听证会上面对三名受害者。
A jury found Sandusky guilty of sexually abusing ten boys. From the bench, Judge John Cleland criticized Sandusky for releasing an audio statement before sentencing that claims the conviction was the result of a conspiracy started by one of the victims that then spread. Attorney Ben Andreozzi represents victim number four.
陪审团认为桑达斯基性侵十名男孩罪名成立。在法庭上，法官约翰·克莱兰指责桑达斯基在宣判的前一天发布音频声明，称判决结果是一名受害者的阴谋，并散播这条声明。律师本·安德烈奥齐代表四号受害者出庭。
And I think that my client probably felt better hearing the judge confront Sandusky, than he would have, the judge gave him 1,000 years in prison.
我认为我的委托人听到法官与桑达斯基对质这个消息，要比听到法官判他入狱1000年的消息更高兴。
The 30-year sentence handed down as effectively a life term for the 68-year-old Sandusky.
30年的刑期对于现年68岁的桑达斯基来说意味着终身监禁。

奥巴马的竞选团队发布了一条新广告，嘲讽共和党候选人米特·罗姆尼会删减公共广播联邦津贴的言论。NPR的布莱恩·内勒报道称，广告由“大鸟”出演。
The ad begins with pictures of some of Wall Street's most notorious criminals including Bernie Madoff and Kenneth Lay who meant labels Gluttons of greed. The chosen image of Big Bird in an office building calling him the evil genius who controlled them. It then shows a clip of Mitt Romney from last week's presidential debate.
这条广告以华尔街最臭名昭彰的罪犯的图片开始，这些罪犯包括代表贪婪的伯尼·麦道夫和肯尼斯·莱。坐在办公室里的“大鸟”称他是控制他们的邪魔。之后广告中便出现米特·罗姆尼上周电视辩论中的片段。
Mitt Romney knows it's not Wall Street you have to worry about, it's Sesame Street. I am going to stop the subsidy to PBS. Mitt Romney taking on our enemies no matter where they nest.
米特·罗姆尼清楚，大家要担心的不是华尔街，而是《芝麻街》。我将删减公共广播电视的津贴。无论我们的敌人藏在哪里，米特·罗姆尼都能痛击他们。

Even as China and European nations have put together some 44 different agreements. He's done none. What I am going to do is make sure that I devote my time to getting trade promotion authority, that I used that authority to negotiate new deals. We open up new markets for American farms and for American goods of all kinds because we can compete on a level playing field with anyone in the world.
即使中国和欧洲国家拟定了44个不同的协议。奥巴马却什么都没有做。而我要做的事情就是，我保证致力于取得贸易促进权，然后我要用那个权利来进行新贸易的谈判。我们为美国农场及美国所有类型的商品打开新的市场，因为我们能与世界任何国家进行公平竞争。
Romney scheduled to attend the night rally near Akron, Ohio. Meanwhile, Ohio secretary of state plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court last week's Federal Appeals Court ruling to reinstate the final three early voting days in the swing state.

Medicare begins its annual open season when seniors can join or change prescription drug plans next week. And as NPR's Julie Rovner tells us a new study finds that the vast majority of seniors are not in least expensive plan that would meet their needs.
今年的医疗保险开放季下周即将开始，届时老年人将可以加入或修改他们的处方药计划。NPR的朱莉·罗夫纳报道称，一项新研究发现，绝大多数老年人并未参与能满足他们需求的最低价计划。
The study from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh looked at prescription-drug claims from Medicare beneficiaries in 2009. It found that only about 5% of people actually chose the cheapest plan that covered their medication needs. On average, beneficiaries spent about $368 a year more than they needed to, primarily by choosing plan that offered more generous benefits than they actually used. A fifth beneficiaries spent at least $500 more than they needed to, the researchers found. The study appears in the October Issue of Policy journal, Health Affairs. Medicare Open Enrollment this year runs from October 15th through December 7th. Julie Rovner, NPR News.
匹兹堡大学的研究人员查看了2009年申请医疗保险的受益人。研究发现，实际上只有5%的人选择了满足他们需要的最低价保险计划。平均来讲，受益人每年大约比他们应支出的费用多花了368美元，根本原因就是他们选择了提供更高福利的保险计划，而不是他们应该使用的保险计划。研究人员发现，五分之一的受益人比他们应支付的费用多花了500美元。该研究发表于”Policy journal, Health Affairs”杂志十月刊。今年医疗保险开放注册季的时间为10月15日至12月7日。NPR新闻，朱莉·罗夫纳报道。
