The bipartisan group of senators working on immigration reforms is out with a legislation summary. NPR's Ted Robbins, says it's the most sweeping reform in at least 26 years.
由两党参议员联合小组制定的移民改革法案摘要正式出台。据NPR新闻的泰德·罗宾斯报道，这是26年来最全面的改革法案。
The long-awaited immigration bill includes a requirement that the Department of Homeland Security prove its catching 90% of the people crossing the border illegally. It provides a path to legalization and eventually citizenship for many of the estimated 11 million people now in the US illegally. It creates new VISA categories to make legal entry easier and it demands employers use photos to verify a worker's eligibility. The proposal suggested the new border security measures alone could cost an additional $7 billion. Ted Robbins NPR News.
这份等待已久的移民法案要求国土安全部拦截新非法移民的成功率要达到90％。这份法案将为美国境内1100万非法移民提供合法的入籍程序。并设立新型签证类别使合法移民更加容易，要求雇主使用照片证实工人的资格。这份提案提出了单独的新边境安全措施，这将使费用增加70亿美元。NPR新闻，泰德·罗宾斯报道。

The International Monetary Fund paints a mixed picture of the global economy in its new world economic outlook released today ahead of its annual spring meetings. NPR's John Ydstie reports while risks to the global economy have eased in the past year, dangerous remain.
今天，国际货币基金组织在春季年会前发布了新一期世界经济展望报告，预测全球经济前景好坏参半。据NPR新闻的约翰·伊斯蒂报道，虽然去年全球经济的风险有所缓解，但是经济依然存在危险。
IMF economists trimmed their projection for global growth a bit, partly because of the drag in the US from the immediate budget cuts under sequestration. Still, recent positive economic news has made the US a relatively bright spot among advanced economies. But the IMF's chief economist Olivier Blanchard says risks remain.
国际货币基金组织的经济学家下调了全球经济增长的预测值，部分原因是美国因自动减支计划而立即削减预算的举措拖累了经济。不过，近期利好的经济信息还是使美国成为发达经济体中一个相对的亮点。但是国际货币基金组织的首席经济家奥利维尔·布兰查德表示，风险依然存在。
"Recent good news about the US has come with renewed worries about the Euro area. Given the strong interconnections between countries, and uneven recovery is also the dangerous warn."
虽然近期美国方面出现了利好消息，但是欧元区紧张重现。在各国经济紧密关联的情况下，不均衡的经济复苏也是危险的。
